Yeah, yeah. I know. Shortest chapter yet. But please don't hold a grudge, I've been so busy lately that I haven't touched the computer in days!

PS-I'm not going to beg for reviews and suggestions, but they are nice.

"Almost done packing, luv?"

"Yeah. It takes about 4 hours to get there, so I'm going to have to leave soon."

"Excited?"

"Of course. It's been forever since I've seen them."

"How old?"

"They're turning 5! I can't believe they grew so fast."

"How long are you going to be there again?"

"Probably a week. I'll talk to Erica about it more when we get there."

Kate was standing over her suitcase, which was on top of her bead, neatly stacking clothes and pushing them in. Nigel walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"That's a long time, luv." Nigel whispered playfully as he kissed her neck. Kate giggled and let herself get distracted from packing.

"Nigel! I think you can last without me." He kept on kissing. "Stop! I have to pack!" She yelled, but laughing of course. She didn't really want him to stop. So she turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. They smiled at each other.

"Come on, luv. What's a little fun going to hurt?"

She smiled wider. How could she possibly resist? They kissed, this time head on.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

She sighed, pulled away, and took her phone from her back pocket. Nigel waited patiently.

"Erica?"

"Hey, are you ready yet? I'm on my way back from the pharmacy, and we need to leave when I get there!"

"Ok, ok. I'll be ready, I promise!"

"You better be!" Erica hung up. Kate flipped her phone shut and looked at Nigel.

"So... fun time's over, huh?" He said.

"Yeah."

"Which exit do I take, Kate?!"

"I'm looking, Erica!"

"Well, can you look a little faster?!"

"Why don't you look?!"

"I'm driving!"

"You said you wanted to drive!"

"Because I thought you were better at reading maps!"

"Well I guess we proved that idea wrong!"

"Just tell me which exit to take before we pass it!"

"FINE! Um... oh! Exit 92! Right there!" Kate pointed to the side.

"Crap!" Erica turned the car as quickly as possible, barely making it unto the exit ramp. Kate held tight to her seat, and Binky slid across his in the back.

"HEY HEY HEY! Easy on the car! It's new!"

"Well you should have told me sooner!"

The fighting went on and on, until both just gave up. No one ever said they get along great all the time!

"AUNTIE KATE! AUNTIE ERICA!" Teresa and Christine ran over to their aunts, hugged them, and switched after a while.

"Oh my gosh, look at you two!"

"You've gotten so big!"

"We're gonna be 5 tomorrow." Christine announced proudly.

"Yeah. So 5 more years, and we're gonna be 10!" Teresa pointed out.

Kate and Erica gave Sophie, who was standing behind the girls, an impressed look. She smiled, beaming with pride.

"It's so awesome that you two came! They just love having you here, and I'm probably going to need help with the party."

"Of course! We weren't going to miss it." Kate answered. Meanwhile, Christine and Teresa had been whispering, and eventually looked like they were itching to ask something, but trying to hold it in.

"What is it, girls?" Kate looked down at their bursting faces.

"What are you going to do with us while you're here?" They asked in unison. Everyone laughed a little. Kate bent down to their level.

"Well, I was thinking that we would go shopping tomorrow, and then maybe horseback riding another day. That sound good?"

"YEAH!" They started jumping up and down a little. Kate stood back up, watching their happy-dance.

"Smart move." Erica whispered.

"Thanks." It was a smart move. Shopping was sure to please Teresa and horseback riding was right up Christine's alley. They all eventually settled down, the twins went after Binky, and Kate and Erica could relax.
