Chapter 30
Alysa picked up the phone, considering House was now covered in two little girls, and he wasn't even going to try to get them up.
"Hello?" she stopped crying, kind of.
"Alysa? What's wrong?" asked her step-mom.
"Oh nothing... Dad was just..."
"Oh Greg.. what did he do now?"
"Nothing, just a story he was telling us.. what's up?"
"I just wanted to remind him to have the girls ready for dance when I got home. I'm on my way."
"No prob!"
"Thanks, Alysa, OH! And, could you also remind him that Jake should be getting there at around... I think five...?"
"Oh right! Thanks, Mom." Her step-mom loved how Alysa could call her 'Mom'.
"No problem. Bye!"
"Bye!" Alysa hung up the phone and headed back to the couch.
"Dad, Mom said to have Auddy and Abby read for dance and--" Abby and Auddy shot up. They loved dance. Alysa smiled, "-- and that Jake should be home at around five."
House nodded, "You heard the lady, go get ready!" With that, the twins shot up and ran upstairs to their rooms to get ready.
Alysa sat down by her dad. "So you could never be with Mom, ever... huh." She didn't know what she'd just asked. House loved his wife, and so did Alysa.
"What?"
"Nothing, sorry." Alysa looked down, and so did her father, "Well, are you going to continue your story?" She smiled a little.
