As they walked into the house they saw Morelli sitting on the couch watching a game. With a sigh Stephanie walked in with the girls and kicked the door shut as she asked "What are you doing here Morelli?"
A smile came across Morelli's face as he looked at her and said "watching a game cupcake. What's with the children?" Stephanie stared at him for a moment then looked down at the girls who were watching the T.V.
"I'm baby sitting. Remember when I had to baby sit Zook and Carl? Well now I baby sit these two girls. I think it will be nice to be around some girls and not a weird boy or a monkey. Now get out I don't want you here." Stephanie pointed a strong stiff finger toward the door and Morelli only laughed and got back to watching his game. "Morelli I mean in now get out I have things to attend to and you here will distract me." That brought a grin onto his face and he looked at her once more.
Morelli got up and walked to the kitchen. "So I'm distracting to you?" He gave a bark of laughter then shook his head and said "Now I know your weakness cupcake and if I can win this with that then I will be damn happy." He walked over to her and gave her a peck on the cheek then grabbed his jacket and said "Food in the fridge, drinks on the counter and milk on the top shelf of the fridge. I will be back again soon to see how you are doing but for now duty calls and sadly I have a job to do." With that said Morelli was gone. Stephanie sighed happily then went to the kitchen to see what she had in her fridge. It was stocked up. Moving to the cabinets to also see that it was stocked up made Stephanie remember when Diesel was here. She gave a slight shiver to the thought for some reason.
Pulling out three pizzas Stephanie turned around and asked "So what are you're names?" both girls looked at her then at each other. A slight smile on their faces showed as they walked over to Stephanie and giggled.
"I'm Kimi and my little sister here is Nicole." The oldest brown haired girl said with a smile. The smaller girl smiled and giggled as she waved to Stephanie who was putting the pizzas in the microwave and heating them up.
"Wow what lovely names you have." Stephanie told them with a smile on her face as she picked them up one by one and set them both in a seat at the table. "I don't have much as you can see but it should be enough until your daddy gets out. So for now let's just have fun and hope for the best." Stephanie set out the pizzas on paper plates and sat at the table. Just before she was able to take a bite there was a knock on the door and that annoyed Stephanie. With a slight grumble she got up and went to the door. When she opened it there as no one out there but there was a box. Stephanie put the box on the table in the foyer and went back to the table to eat with the girls. They asked who it was and Stephanie told them it was one of the neighbors asking for the news paper. After they had diner and enjoyed some Tom and Jerry Stephanie made a make shift bed on the floor and got the girls to bed.
The next morning she woke up to the girls jumping on her bed and screaming get up there is a man at the door. With a sigh Stephanie got up and looked in the doorway to see Morelli. "Morelli what do you want?! I was trying to sleep!"
Morelli grinned and shook his head then said "Relax Stephanie I just brought breakfast for you and the kids that's all." When she looked she noticed the girls had syrup all over their faces. Stephanie couldn't help but laugh and say "I can see that. Pancakes I'm guessing?" Morelli nodded and Stephanie got out of bed. First thing she did was clean up the girls then she went and got a cup of coffee. After that she sat down with a plate of pancakes in front of the T.V. and turned on a game. Everyone watched the game and enjoyed their morning.
