It had been far too long since they all sat down for a good dinner. He was knackered, and he knew Adele was knackered but as he put the finishing touches on supper, he felt very good. Adele had done well in Calgary, Asher was starting to settle into school, but the call from Liv last night for something as simple as not being able to sweep up a broken cup mobilized him. After setting her to rights, he made a few calls the next morning. Now as they sat after what he thought was one of his better roasts. "All right, who's ready for dessert?" he said before Asher could start clamouring. He had a few baby catalogues on his iPad that he sent Asher to go fetch like from Argos, Mothercare, next...even Amazon. "It will go well as we start Operation Outfit Grapefruit." He grinned. "No Livvie...I shan't call her Parker until I can see her bright and shiny little baby face and all that Carlisle red hair." The plate of oatmeal, chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies were placed in the middle of the table as Ned went to go get the laptop so they would have another screen to look at, and Addie's planner book as well, because he knew that she could do nothing without her purple pen and calendars. "Right then. We need a crib, some bottles...Henry, you've been through this--oh hullo Iona." Ned was used to organising but not with a two year old in his lap trying to give him kisses. "Yes darling, we're going to trick out Aunt Livly in baby swag." |
