"Do you want me to get Crissy from school?" Danny asked walking back down into the living room after having a long shower
"Nah its ok I'll get her you look shattered, and I think Louie wants to talk football with his daddy" Lindsay smiled sitting beside her son who had his eyes glued to the men on the TV screen.
"Yeah, but you took her this morning and you've been sick all day, I could take Louie out with me, it'll do the kid some good to be away from that TV"
"Ok, well I might go round and see Stella, she promised me some peaches this morning"
"You eat anymore peaches you are going to turn into a peach"
"Oh but Baby likes them so much"
Lindsay patted Danny on the cheek, and walked out of the room to get her shoes
"Who's going to take Gracie?" She called
"You can babe" Danny called back grabbing Louie
"Hey Daddy, put me down" he squirmed in his father's grip.
"Nah, we are going to get Crissy from school"
"But Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddd, I was want to watch football" Louie kept squirming in his fathers arms.
Grace woke up at the sound of the commotion in the house, she was still snuggled on the pillows and was happy to stay there, until Lindsay came over and picked her up, to tired to protest she simply snuggled into her mothers body.

By the time Lindsay was outside Stella's door she was shattered. Stella lived on the fifth floor of a building where the elevator didn't work so Lindsay had to carry Grace all the way up. Shifting Grace a little Lindsay knocked the door, after a moment Stella opened it and took Grace from Lindsay's arms
"You should have called me, you know I would have come down, you shouldn't carry her yourself" Stella ranted
"Stell, I'm fine, I am pregnant I can carry my daughter, I carried Crissy everywhere" Lindsay replied
"But Crissy weighs nothing, Grace is a little on the plump side"
"Do call my daughter fat, its rude" Lindsay mocked
"Yeah anyway how can I help you?"
"You forgot"
"Forgot what?"
"You forgot, you promised and you forgot" Lindsay was beginning to get angry, why was everyone making it so hard to get peaches
"What Lindsay what did I forget" Stella was quickly becoming worried
"I cannot believe this, one thing one thing I asked and you can't even do it for me" Lindsay was simply beginning to joke now Stella on the other hand was becoming increasingly worried
"Lindsay hunny what did I forget I am sorry but my mind has been everywhere today and every thing is all messed up"
"My peaches" Lindsay giggled
"Oh yeah" Stella but Grace on the couch and walked into the kitchen to get the peaches she had for Lindsay. Stella grabbed the brown paper bag and handed them to her. Lindsay opened them and grabbed on quickly and took a bite.
"They are wonderful, thank you" Lindsay smiled
"Baby likes peaches then"
"Yeah he does"
"He?"
"Well I think it's a he but I'm not sure"

Danny stood waiting for Crissy to come out of the school. Louie was standing beside him wrapped up like an Eskimo so he didn't get a cold, like Grace had.
"Daddy" Crissy called running over to Danny
"Hey girl, how was school"
"It was ok, but I like the holidays"
"Doesn't everybody" Danny stooped down and grabbed Louie off the floor
"Is mommy sick today?" Crissy asked
"She was this morning but she has gone over to Auntie Stella's, Why? Did you want mommy to come get you is Daddy not good enough"
"No I love you Daddy but I wanted to know about mommy that's all" Crissy smiled opening the car door.
"Daddy can we get some pizza on the way home?" Louie asked
"No"
"Why?"
"Cos we are getting Italian, its my favourite and we had pizza last week" Danny strapped Louie into the car, and headed of toward their next stop. When they arrive home Lindsay was sitting on the couch with her peaches Stella had given her and was watching Dirty Dancing.
"Yay" Crissy shouted sitting beside her mother. They had seen the movie so many times Danny and Louie knew all of it and the only watched it half the time.
"Can we pay footie in the in the other room?" Louie asked
"No" Lindsay replied "You'll wake Grace up and I want her to sleep"
"But mommy"
"No come watch the movie with us"
"No" Louie grumbled as he headed toward his bedroom.

The time was coming I just have to wait. They think this is happily ever after, but they'll learn happily ever after doesn't last too long. It's all ready for her, but she isn't ready not just yet. I have it all planed, it's time I get my happily ever after and nobody will stop me.
With each passing day Rikki's dreams were slowly coming true.
