Anna threw the phone on the couch and scoop Kendall up blowing raspberries on her stomach. The little girl made some noises and tried to push her mom's face away while giggling. Joe walked into the room and threw some file folders on the table and kissed Anna's cheek, "my two beautiful girls."
Kendall quickly sit up, "da da" She kept reaching for Joe till he scooped her up placing kisses on her face all over. Anna smiled at them, "How was work?" Joe opened his arm. Anna quickly lay against him, as Kendall sat on his lap babbling away. "Old case from a few years ago, the guy is coming up on parole. I'm reviewing everything before I have to go before them."
"Oh?" She said glancing at him. Joe pecked her lips, "It is actually more of Frank and Nancy's case but I was on it some. Nancy was having contractions this morning so I told Frank I would do it."
Anna quickly jumped up, "What?"
"Calm down, she still has a ways to go when they get closer Frank will call us."
"I'm texting them now."
Joe laughed watching her grab her phone typing fast on the touch screen. "Dinner plans?"
"I'm making stuffed chicken wrapped in prosciutto and couscous."
"You have been watching cooking shows again haven't you."
"Guilty, but I better get to work."
"How long?"
"I did prep work earlier, so not long." Anna jumped up giving Joe and Kendall kisses. She grabbed her phone and went into the kitchen to start dinner. Joe leaned back and relaxed with Kendall on his lap turning on the TV to Sofia the First. It immediately caught Kendall's attention as she leaned against her dad absorbed in the show. "Good old Disney channel." Joe muttered to himself and grabbed his phone to scan emails.
After they enjoyed dinner, Joe gave Kendall a bath and tucked her into bed. Anna was in the study answering work emails. Joe leaned against the door frame into the office, "how is the new president at Grant doing?"
"I have to say we found a gem. She is doing a brilliant job and things are back on track and very profitable. I was looking over some publishing emails."
Joe took a seat in front of the desk, "Everything ok?"
"I think so just a few issues with a new book deal."
Joe's phone started ringing and he quickly answered it, "Hello… yes, we will be there as soon as possible… breath… okay remember to breath." Joe looked at his wife who had her eyebrow raised at him. "Frank on the phone, Nan is getting real close."
Anna jumped up and grabbed her phone and spun around, "who can I call to watch Kendall?"
"George or Biff maybe?"
Anna bit her bottom lip, "Biff needs to go with us but Kendall needs him here but we have a security system." She was muttering to herself but Joe heard every word. "Baby, we have been over this. You are safe. Kendall is safe. We are all safe, whether Biff is there or not."
Anna nodded and went to the intercom near the doorway and pressed a button, "Biff, sorry to bother you." She was biting her bottom lip waiting for him to respond. Joe mouthed, 'I will go get us some shoes and comfy clothes.' Anna nodded as Biff spoke through the intercom, "What's up?"
"Nan's in labor, would you mind to stay in the main house in a guest room."
"Sure, be right over."
Anna walked into the family room and Joe handed her yoga legging pants and a sweatshirt. He also had her tall grey button UGG boots. "Thanks, hun. Biff is on his way." Joe nodded and walked into the kitchen. He was already in sweatpants and sweatshirt.
In no time, Biff and George was hand in hand giggling walking into the house. Anna quickly hugged them both, "Thank you. George you want to come with us?"
George let go of Biff, and followed Anna into the family room. Biff went to talk to Joe. George sat down in the oversized chair, "I will just stay here. I don't want to overwhelm Nan."
"I know you just want to spend more time with Biff." Anna winked at her and George gave a small giggle. Anna quickly pulled her sweatshirt on. "How are you two doing? Wedding soon?"
"Not sure. Biff hasn't mentioned it. I don't want to be pushy about it."
"Well you two are so perfect together. He better ask you soon or I will have to hurt him."
George and Anna busted out laughing at the thought of slender Anna trying to take on tall quarterback built Biff. Biff and Joe poked their heads in the family room. "Someone want to let me in on the joke?" Joe asked.
"Nope." Anna said while popping her p.
George smiled at Biff, "just a little secret joke between girls." Anna nodded in agreement. Biff just shook his head, "somehow, I don't think we want to know." The girls giggled and Joe rolled his eyes, "You ready?" Anna nodded as she finished putting on her shoes and hopped over to Joe, "Ready."
Joe looked at Biff and George and got a serious look on his face, "Okay you two, Kendall is asleep and don't wake her with your adult antics." Joe wiggled his eyebrows at that statement, "also we can both be reached on our cells, but it should go smoothly. If she wakes just use the whole organic milk in the fridge and warm it up." George and Biff both nodded and Joe continued as his wife rolled her eyes at him, "We will keep you updated on Nan's and Lizzy's progress. Just use the guestroom near Kendall's room. Kendall loves her pink little blanket with the ribbon tags off the sides. If she wakes up she can't sleep without it. Extra pacifiers in a jar on her dresser and…"
Anna cut him off, "George, you know where everything is right?"
George laughed, "of course, I helped you organized everything."
Anna turned to Joe and raised her eyebrow, "See, they are fine. If they have any issues they can text or call." Joe glanced at them both. Biff laughed, "I never thought I would see the day where Joe lectured and worried about these things."
"So funny, Biff. This will be you one day." Joe glared at him and Anna pulled him out the door into the garage shouting, "just text us, thanks guys."
Anna and Joe quickly rushed into the waiting room at the hospital. Anna smiled and hugged her Uncle Carson. "Hi, how are things going?" Carson was still in his wheelchair but he was slowly getting some movement out of his legs and walking seemed a lot more possible. He smiled at her, "Nan is about to start pushing. Frank's a wreck. Fenton went to get coffee and Laura is with Nan and Frank."
Joe took a seat and Fenton walked into the room with four coffee cups. Joe raised his eyebrow, "expecting us?"
Fenton handed everyone a cup, "I figured you would be here any minute. I knew you couldn't stay away. But who is watching my first grandbaby?"
"Biff and George are, and Joe surprised everyone by lecturing them before we left." Anna quickly said and Carson and Fenton both looked in complete shock while Joe just shrugged, "fatherhood changes you." Everyone laughed.
"Dad, I need to talk to you about this parole case, Tim Halliway." Fenton nodded at Joe and they both retreated to some seats a bit away from Carson and Anna.
Joe glanced at his watch, it read a little after 2am. Anna had fallen asleep leaning against his shoulder, the effects of the coffee had long worn off. Laura walked into the waiting room and Joe stirred Anna and Fenton who had both dozed off. "Elizabeth Anna Hardy, born September 10th, a whopping 8 lbs and 1 oz. She has the Drew eyes and a bit of brown hair."
