Oh Jesus H Christ I wanted Ari to forget all about that "Keep your voice down, Gun I don’t want to re Dewey to take Scarlet on a little ride once we get home with Grace"

"A ride?" Gunner asked

I looked back over toward Ari She was now holding Maegan and talking to Aed for Scarlet to go to a doggy boot ca to train her to do all kinds of shit she should already kno to do Sit, heel, walk, roll over--whatever the fuck they do at those places I bought myself at least a week"

Gunner shook his head "Motherfucker Why didn’t I think of that?"

I shrugged my shoulders and smiled "I’m smarter?"

Gunner just looked at me "Hardly"

"Jeff?" Ari called out

I turned and set to tell you, I told Dewey to cancel that whole doggy boot ca Scarlet needs to be horin on her face

How in the hell does she know these things?

Gunner busted out laughing as he gently slapped me on the back

"Damn…I love your wife" He walked over to Ellie and kissed her

I stared over at Ari She gave me a wink before she raised her eyebrow at me

I shook irl Nothing gets by your hed and talked to our friends

Yep, I love her more than life itself

My father picked up Luke, and they were co toward Jeff and Grace I stood there as everyone tried to get a peek of the baby

Luke kept saying, "I want Macy…I want Macy!"

"Jeff, may I?" my mother asked as she held out her hands

I looked down at Scarlet, as just sitting there, like the good girl she was I knew ’s face, and Jeff would freak the hell out

"Of course, Sue"

After Jeff handed Grace over to my mother, she walked up to the front porch and sat doith Grace Sure enough, Scarlet ca the hell out of the baby It took everything out of ot the baby bag out of the car, he turned around "Oh no Oh shit…no, no, no!" he said "Uer…but not her face!"

My mother looked at Jeff and smiled as she stood up She started to walk into the house but not before she turned around "Like the great Katharine Hepburn said, ‘If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun’" She winked, and then she went inside
