Emily & Samara

Emily got out of the pool and grabbed her towel from one of the lounge chairs. It was a warm April day and Emily decided to take advantage of the weather.

"Hey, Em," Samara called from the driveway.

Emily looked toward the gate to see her girlfriend. "Hey. Need a hand?" She asked as she walked toward the gate.

"Or two." Samara joked.

Emily opened the gate and went over to Samara's car. She grabbed some grocery bags out of the car and headed for the house.

"Have a good swim?" Samara asked as they walked inside.

"I did. It's so nice out." Emily said placing the bags on the kitchen table. "I can't wait to start teaching Isabella and Harper how to swim. I've never taught anybody before, but it'll be fun."

"As long as you don't let them drown." Samara joked.

"I would never let that happen." Emily said as they walked out to get the rest of the bags. "When I first start I'll probably teach them separately so I can keep my eyes on them at all times, but by the time Hanna's baby is old enough to start learning I should be able to teach all three of them at the same time."

"They can be your guinea pigs of sort. They will prepare you to be able to teach the kids on your swim teams."

They finished bringing the bags in and put all the groceries away.

"Speaking of Isabella and Harper. Aren't we supposed to be watching both of them today?" Samara asked looking at her watch to see what time it was.

"Yea, they should be here soon. Spencer's class starts at 10, and Aria has to go meet Ezra at 9:45." Emily said. "I'm going to go shower real quick before they get here." She said before gong upstairs.

A few minutes after Emily went upstairs the doorbell rang. Samara got up to go answer it.

"Hey, Aria," Samara said. She took Harper from her arm.

"Thanks. Spence was running late. So, Toby had to drop Harper off before he went to work." Aria walked into the house and put the two diaper bags from her shoulder on the bench next to the door.

The two walked into the living room and placed the infants into the playpen that was in the middle of the room.

"She says thanks for watching her and thank you for watching Isabella, too." Aria said.

"No problem. We love babysitting them." Samara told her.

"I would love to stay a while, but I have to meet Ezra."

"Go. Don't worry we'll be fine here. Go have a good time." Samara told her as she walked with her towards the door.

"Alright, I'll see you later." Aria said before leaving.

Samara went back into the living room. She took Isabella and Harper out of the playpen and put them on the play mat. She lay on the floor next to them and started making funny faces making them laugh.

Emily came downstairs a few minutes later. "I didn't even hear the doorbell." She said walking into the living room.

"Look its Aunt Emily." Samara said to the young girls. Their smiles grew wider. "They love you Em. Look at those smiles."

"Because I'm their favorite auntie. Isn't that right?" Emily said as she lay next to them. She kissed both their foreheads. "I'm better than Aunt Hanna aren't I?"

Both girls laughed at her again.

Hanna & Caleb

Hanna walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. "Morning."

"Morning." Caleb greeted. "How are you feeling today?" He asked after kissing her.

"Besides the fact that my jeans don't fit me anymore? I feel fine." She grabbed a bowl from the cabinet and filled it with Lucky Charms. "I am so glad the semester is almost over. I'm tired of getting up early." She said as she poured milk into the bowl and grabbed a spoon. "I need to rest up before this baby comes."

Caleb laughed. "Or before it makes it uncomfortable for you to sleep."

"I like to think that will never happen." Hanna said as she continued eating her cereal. "I will never have issues sleeping after school ends. Until he or she is born."

Caleb grabbed his bag off the counter. "I have to get going. See you later?"

"Yea. See you when you get home." She said before getting up and putting her bowl in the sink.

Caleb left the room.

Hanna went back upstairs to brush her teeth. After she was done, she grabbed her bag from their bedroom and went to go leave. She got outside before she stopped short. "Wren, what are you doing here?"

"Just wanted to see how you were. I saw your car in the driveway. I was just heading up to the door."

"I can see that. If you don't mind I have to get to school. I've made it this far without being late or missing a class even when I felt extremely nauseous." She walked around him and got in her car. She opened her window. "You can stop wanting to know how I am all the time. I'm with Caleb, you're with Melissa. We should just be happy with that." She turned the car on and pulled out of the driveway heading to school.
