Asher Jacobs & Timber Lehmann

I nodded. "Okay. I can understand that. Can I ask you something though? Would you be willing to let her watch Adam if someone else is there too? If you're not comfortable with that either, that's fine. I'm just asking."

"Yeah, I can do that."

"Okay. Who would you like to ask? Do you think Trent and Elena would do it?"

"Maybe Trent. I don't know about Elena. She seen what your sister's actions back then really did to me so..I have no idea how she'd react to being around her."

I nodded, wanting to know, but knowing it wasn't the right time to ask. "Okay. So we can ask him. What about a back up in case he says no?"

"I'll ask Ethan and Alicia if he says no."

I nodded again. "That sounds good to me."

"As long as you're happy, then I'm happy."

"And as long as you're happy, then I'm happy. I just... I know she's trying, and I want to give her a chance. But I know how you feel about that, so I'm trying to be understanding."

"I know, I'm trying to be understanding too. I really am."

"I know baby," I said and kissed him softly. "Are you ready to go home? It's getting a little late, we need to put Adam to bed."

"Yeah, you're right. Elena and Trent already left with Amelia, she was cranky today."

"Yeah a little. Everyone has their cranky days though. I'm glad Adam hasn't had a really cranky day yet though."

I tugged on Daddy's shirt, holding my teddy bear in my arms. "Daddy can we go home now? I'm tired."

"Me too Daddy. Do we get a story again tonight?" I asked, standing on his other side by Mommy.

"Absolutely. Come on, we'll hit the road." I picked Alena up and bent down so Susannah could hop on my back.

I couldn't help but smile as I got up, holding Adam to me. He was such a wonderful father, and I knew he never gave himself enough credit. "Did you girls get enough to eat?"



"Yeah mommy I stuffed. I want the story about the princess."



"But I want the one about the dragon!"

"But stories about your uncles are so much funnier."

I giggled. "Like when Uncle Efan got stuck in the tree? That one's funny."

"That it is." I smiled.

"The one where you and Uncle Ethan and Uncle Mason got sick after drinking Grandpa's juice is funny too."



I raised my eyebrows at him. "You told them that story?"

"What? It's a good story and I made it kid friendly...sorta."

I gave him a look. "A story about you and your brothers getting d-r-u-n-k and being sick for two days because of it, is not kid friendly Asher."



"Uh oh, mommy's mad," I whispered in daddy's ear.

Yeah, I had ways of taking care of that later. "It's me. That's as kid friendly as I can get."

"Well maybe you should steer clear of stories with adult themes in them, at least until the kids hit puberty."



"What's puberty?"



I mentally cursed. "Something... you do not have to deal with for a long time. So don't worry about it okay?"
