When Fred said she needed to feed Mere, John shifted over to give her more room. He set Chase on the floor and smiled at Fred when she looked over at him once she was settled.
I should be thanking you, he told her. You've given me three beautiful children. I love you, too.
Leaning over, he kissed Fred softly before moving back so she could feed Meredith. Once she was done, he took her into his arms and carried her over to the changing table.
"Thank you, pumpkin," he said when Alex handed him the diaper and wipe.
After he changed her, Alex asked if she could hold her, so John took her over to the chair in the corner and sat down. Once Alex had climbed into his lap, he shifted Meredith to rest in hers and helped her wrap her arms around her.
"There you go," he said before looking over at his wife as she snuggled with their son.
"You're going to like living here," Alex told her sister.
