Reggie was trying to organise breakfast time but the kids were too distracted by the news that their parents would be home that evening. Gabby had made up a song about it and was singing 'My Mommy's coming home… and my Mama's coming home… and my Mommy and my Mamma's coming home…home…home…' non-stop which was beginning to grate, although it was nice to see her so happy.

"Are we going to do something nice for them?" asked Miranda. "Can we have a welcome home party?"

"I think Marissa still needs to take it easy." said Reggie, adding the milk to Gabby's cereal. "David has already told us she needs plenty of rest…"

"We can do that!" said AJ he looked to Miranda for support, "We can a make it peaceful and quiet for her."

Miranda nodded.

"We can be like her servants and she won't have to do anything!" she said

"Okay." said Reggie. "That would be a help."

"And we can make a special meal." said Miranda.

"Pizza!" cried Gabby excitedly.

"That isn't mom's favourite. That's only ours…" said AJ.

"We can make happy pizza." said Gabby with a pout. "She liked my happy princess pizza!"

"We can make them a pizza." said Reggie agreeing with the youngest Montgomery; that was just about within his culinary skill.

"We can make a chocolate cake as well." said Miranda. "I know Mamma 'Rissa likes chocolate cake and there is a cake mix in the cupboard; I saw it."

"So Pizza and chocolate cake for their welcome home party." said Reggie, "That sounds like fun."

"And can we invite our nana's!" said AJ sitting up. "Make it a proper party!"

"I'm not sure about that..." Reggie began to say. He was aware that Erica was somehow involved in what happened to Marissa, although he hadn't heard the whole story. He was also fairly certain that when Krystal and Erica were last here for a dinner party it was a complete disaster.

"Yeah!" cried Miranda and Gabby together, drowning out Reggie's reply.

"I'll call them." said Miranda sliding from her chair and hurrying to the phone on the wall. "I know they'll want to come and help make this special."

She already had the phone off of the wall before Reggie could speak. She looked back at him before she dialled though.

"That's okay isn't it?" she asked.

The kids were watching him in excited expectation, how could he say no?

"Tell you what, ask then to come with a plus one." said Reggie. Maybe with his dad around things would be calmer.

"Plus one?" Miranda asked.

"They can bring a guest." explained Reggie. "Erica can bring your Uncle Jack…

"Uncle Jack!" shouted AJ in excited agreement.

"This is gonna be so cooool!" cried Gabby and then she started singing her song again.

'My Mommy's coming home… and my Mama's coming home… and my Mommy and my Mamma's coming home… home… home…'
