Chapter 4-Unexpected Visitors
A month later
Pheobe sat at her desk, a huge smile on her face. She couldn't help but stare at the newly placed picture on her desk. The picture had been taken a week ago at a Photo Shop. Pheobe and Cole sat beside each other, his arm around her. Ben sat in his daddy's lap while Elizabeth stood behind them, all three adults were smiling happily.
Things had been going great. Cole was able to get a job at a local law firm. Elizabeth lives with them now and still watches Ben while his parents are at work, except she is referred to as "Nana" now, since that was easier for Ben to say.
Pheobe finished her column as quickly as possible and then headed home, anxious to be with her now perfect family.
She got in her car and drove home. Pheobe walked into the house and was greeted by Elizabeth holding Ben, who held out his chubby arms.
"Up, Up, Up," he squealed.
"Hey, sweet boy," she said taking her son from Elizabeth. "Did you have fun with Nana today?"
She tickled the baby.
"Has he had his dinner yet?" Pheobe asked walking into the kitchen.
"No, that's what we were about to do when you walked in," she said.
Pheobe put the little boy in his high chair and prepared him a healthy meal.
"Has he been good today?" Pheobe asked, while feeding Benjamin.
"Of course, a little angel," Elizabeth said, smiling at the baby.
A car pulled up and Pheobe smiled, waiting for him to come through the door.
"I'm home," Cole said, putting his briefcase and keys on the table.
"We're in the kitchen," Pheobe screamed.
Cole put his jacket on the coat rack and made his way to the kitchen.
"Hi," he said giving his wife a passionate kiss.
He looked at the little boy covered in applesauce.
"How's my little buddy?" he asked, kissing the top of his son's head. "Mother, I was thinking that you probably want to get out of here tonight. You've been stuck here all month. Go out. Have fun. You deserve it," Cole said.
"Not that I don't love spending time with this beautiful little boy, but you're probably right. I think I'll take you up on that offer," she said kissing the top of her grandson's head and walking out of the room.
Pheobe looked at Cole with an arched eyebrow.
"I just thought that the three of us could lay back and watch some Disney movies before Ben's bedtime," Cole said.
Pheobe finished feeding Ben.
"Sounds like a plan," she said, cleaning Ben up while Cole put the plate in the dishwasher.
A few minutes later, Elizabeth walked down the stairs.
"I'll be back later. I love you," she said as she grabbed her purse and walked out the door.
An hour later, Cole and Pheobe were laying on the couch, Ben in Cole's arms, watching The Incredibles. Cole found himself getting into the movie along with Ben.
Pheobe laughed watching her two favorite guys staring deeply at the television.
"I'll go get more popcorn," she said as she picked up a sippy cup, "And more juice for Ben."
In the kitchen, Pheobe could hear her son giggle and knew that Cole was tossing him into the air.
"Be careful with him," Pheobe said from the kitchen as she closed the sippy cup lid.
Pheobe started to go back to the living room when the door bell rang.
"I got it," she said as she put the cup and popcorn down on the table in the dining room.
She walked to the door, thinking that Elizabeth had just forgotten her key.
Pheobe had a smile on her face, hearing Cole and Ben laugh, as she walked to the door.
She unlocked it and opened the door. Her smile immediately faded as she saw who stood before her at the door.
"Surprise," her sisters said in unison.
This chapter seemed a little choppy to me. I hope it wasn't that bad. Please review and tell me what you think. I love to hear your opinions. Tell me if I'm doing anything wrong except for spelling Pheobe's name wrong because I am already aware of that.
