Chapter 8

Ed smiled as he sat in the living room in his and Lindsey's apartment; he was dressed up, ready to go out. He and Lindsey had made arrangements to meet up with Allison and Emily, who had recently moved to Vegas. Lindsey had heard all about Ed's friends and had spoken to them before, mostly on the phone, occasionally in person whenever they visited.

They had made arrangements to ensure their nine month old daughter Sharon was looked after too. Sure enough, there was a knock at the door, Ed went and answered it.

"Hi Ed." He heard his sister's voice greet him.

Ed grinned. "Hey there."

They entered the apartment, closing the door, and headed through to the bedroom where Lindsey is getting ready. Sharon was in the playpen, playing with her teddy bear.

"Hi Lindsey." Margaret called out.

Lindsey turned and smiled. "Maggie, good to see you."

Sharon looked up and smiled at her aunt, waving at her. Margaret grinned and later, Ed and Lindsey were ready.

"Well, we're off." Ed said softly. "Better not keep Ali and Emily waiting."

Both Ed and Lindsey then kissed Sharon, before getting ready to leave.

"Have fun you guys." Margaret said before they left.

After they left, Margaret turned back to the playpen. Sharon had pulled herself up the bars, standing holding them. She reached up gently, towards her aunt.

Margaret smiled and lifted Sharon up. "It's okay Sharon, your mommy and daddy will be back before you know it."

Sharon smiled and cooed; Margaret smiled and cradled her niece.

Ed and Lindsey had arrived at the restaurant and after talking with the waiter, they were led to the table where Emily and Allison were waiting.

"Hey guys." Emily called out, greeting them.

Ed grinned and returned her greeting as they sat down.

Allison smiled softly and spoke. "It's good to see you again, Ed."

Ed nodded. "Thanks Ali."

"It's nice to finally meet you face to face Lindsey." Allison said, turning to her.

Lindsey grinned and replied. "Likewise."

They made their orders and soon got to talking about how they were getting on.

"So, I heard you guys are parents now, a daughter?" Emily asked. "What's she like?"

Lindsey smiled proudly. "Sharon, yeah, she's an angel."

Ed nodded and, as their food and drinks arrived, they ate, still talking and catching up.

Meanwhile, Margaret rushed through to Sharon, who was crying, she immediately lifted her up.

"What's wrong Sharon?" She asked worried.

Sharon sniffled and cried. "Wet!"

Margaret smiled comfortingly. "Okay, Aunt Maggie's got you, let's go get you changed."

Sharon sniffled again as Margaret got her to the changing mat and began changing her. Soon she finished and smiled at the baby girl.

"There, all done, nice and fresh." She said.

Sharon laughed and clapped her hands. "Thank you."

Margaret gently lifted Sharon up and kissed her forehead. "You're welcome."

She gently rocked Sharon, lulling the girl off to sleep. She knew that Ed and Lindsey would return soon, she was proud of her brother and Lindsey, they were good parents and it was clear Sharon was what they treasured most in the world.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
