Real Life Chapter 3

"Cae! Cae! Caeee!!" Aylin bounced energetically on the bed beside Caelyn.

"What time is it?" whined Caelyn as she pulled the covers down to check the alarm clock across the room. "4:30 in the morning?! Aylin have you lost your mind?"

A now pouting six year old flopped down onto the bed, "I want to play!" she exclaimed.

"How about we play a game called 'lay here next to me and sleep'!" Caelyn asked her niece as she patted the bed beside her.

Shrugging, Aylin climbed under the covers with her aunt and sighed. "I guess..."

"We'll play in a few hours when the sun is up to play too!" exclaimed Caelyn as she closed her eyes again.

She shook her head, what had her sister set her up for?

Turning to her new husband, Jolie smiled at his sleeping face. "You're the most handsome man in the entire world." she whispered to his sleeping form.

"Really not.." he mumbled back and smiled sleepily.

"Well, I think you are! That's all that matters." she giggled, pressing a kiss to his lips.

"Well, thank you baby. You're right, that's all that matters. What's on the agenda for today?" he opened one eye as if worried by what her agenda would hold.

"I don't know...I was thinking sleeping in, maybe some sight seeing and pictures?" Jolie smiled cupping his cheek, "Too much?"

He snuggled close, "Naw, never. Let's do it."

Real life Chap 2

Jolie stretched her hand out to her daughter and pulled Aylin close. "Now, Mommy and Daddy are going away for a little while, Auntie Cae and Auntie Cheyenne are going to stay with you, remember?"

Aylin nodded somberly, "I'm 'zausted mama." She rubbed her eyes slowly and sighed. "I'll miss you." she hugged Jolie's waist tight and then ran to McHale.

Jolie slipped the house keys into Caelyn's hand, "Brand new house, Cae, try not to trash it...Have Eli over whenever you want." she winked at her sister.

"I'm going to kill you for all of this matchmaking! We'll be nice to the house. You enjoy your honeymoon love." Caelyn hugged Jolie too.

Arms wrapped around her waist tightly, and instinctively she knew her husband stood behind her. Hot breath tickled her neck and ear, "What do you say we get outta here, Mrs. McHale Maddox?"

She giggled feeling the suprise she always did when he showed his sweet affection. "I'm more than ready, Husband of mine."

His hand snaked around to clasp hers, "Then by all means lets get out before someone else stops us!" McHale tugged her toward the limo.

Caelyn buckled a now sleeping Aylin into her safety seat as Cheyenne climbed into the drivers seat with a yawn. "Well party animals, Lets get back to the house." she chuckled as she climbed into the passenger seat.

"Strange being here in Kansas, right? You have the directions to the house?" asked Cheyenne with another yawn.

Nodding, Caelyn produced the directions from her handbag. "Lets get to the house and see what awaits us."

Within a half hour they had reached McHale and Jolie's new home. Most people in a new home, purchased within a month of their wedding, would still have a mess. Not her sister! The house was perfectly clean and organized with a notebook full of information for the house/baby sitters.

"Thanks Jolie." whispered Cae as she flipped through the pages. At the end of the notebook, Eli Sabin's phone number was scribbled with a smiley face sticker beside it.

Shaking her head, Cae shut the notebook.
