"So what's the plan for today then?" Dave bounced the girl on his knee as Stephanie began to read from her day planner.
"Okay, we'll drop the kids off at my mom's and we'll be on out way to the airport in about…an hour." She made eye contact to see that everyone understood. "We'll get there at like two and our flight doesn't leave until like three thirty so we have time for-"
"Hooters!" All of the men, cheered collectively.
"Yes, we'll have time for Hooters, if we get a move on it." Stephanie sighed.
Ric, Dave and Randy all got up and got all the rest of the things than needed to be moved and took it to the car. Within fifteen minutes, everything was completely ready to go and the nin of them were on their way to Grandma Linda's house. The van containing Dave, Lana, May Anne, Stephanie, Brandon and Baby Xavier was the first to arrive.
"Okay MayAnne, are you ready to stay with Grandma for a while?" Alana held her daughter as she and Stephanie walked them in for a final goodbye.
"Yes Momma! I promise to be a nice little girl." MayAnne smiled up at her with her father's eyes. For the next five minutes or so, both women showered their babies to sleep and headed out to the car. Lana had crossed the street and was halfway in the door Dave had held open for her when her daughter called out. "Wait! You didn't give me a bye-byes kiss!" Lana sharply turned around and stepped towards her child. "No Momma, you kissed me a bazillion times! I want a good bye kiss from Davey."
Dave blushed slightly and jogged across the street. He threw the little girl up in the air and kissed her little sun-kissed face twenty times sending her into a frenzy of giggles. "Is that better MayAnne!"
"Yeah! Bye Davey!" MayAnne wrapped herself around Linda's leg and waved until Dave was completely in the car.
