It was a beautiful fall day that Friday afternoon. Ryan, Seth, Summer and Marissa had been let out of school. They were doing their various things. Marissa was at home with her parents and Kaitlin, spending some quality time with them. Summer was with Seth at the pier, and Ryan was at home trying to neaten up before Theresa and the baby came over. He figured he ought to get things ready before they came over.
Meanwhile, in Chino, Theresa was also trying to get things ready for Matthew to go to Newport. She gave him a bath, fed him, and put him in some clean clothes that he would just spit up on in five minutes. She found that to be the grossest part to having a baby - the amount of spit up they produced. Whenever she looked at him, she saw his father. It was so apparent in his appearance who he looked like. His eyes, his hair, and his nose. All of his features looked like those of his father.
Theresa went into the baby's room and began to pack his overnight back with several outfits, sleep wear, diapers, and toys. For someone so small, there was an incredible amount of stuff to pack for one weekend. She knew that it would be impractical to have two sets of everything, considering he would only be in Newport for just two weekends each month, although it would make things easier.
Before she forgot, she thought that she might call Ryan, and let him know that she was on her way with Matthew. This way, he could have things prepared ahead of time, and know when to expect them. Theresa walked into the kitchen and grabbed the phone off the hook. She dialed the area code, and then the number. It rang several times before someone answered.
"Hello?" Ryan answered.
"Ryan, it's Theresa, I'm going to come over with Matthew now, okay?" she told him.
"Yeah, sure, that's fine. I'll see you when you get here," Ryan replied.
"Okay, bye," Theresa said. She hung up the phone. She turned around to walk into the other room to grab the baby and his things, so that she could leave to go to Ryan's.
"Does he still believe you?" Eddie asked her.
Theresa nodded her head, and replied, "I think so."
