Claire: "hey Charles..."

Charles: "yes?"

Claire: "we're getting a dog..."

Charles: "no. We're not getting a dog. We've already got 2 kids that's enough animals."

Claire: "it's a work dog Charles. He needs to be around me 24/7."

Charles: "okay that's different. What kind?"

Claire: "German Shepherd... that's why we need to fly out to the Netherlands tomorrow with the boys and us."

Charles: "why?"

Claire: "I've trained with him one time before I need a little hour more with him and let you guys train or play with him and then he's settled in to come home."

Charles: "is it safe for the boys?"

Claire: "I think he is. The first months were gonna need to watch him more closely but when he's really settled into the family he probably is."

Charles: "okay... sounds okay to me then. So tell me about him."

Claire: "he is a 2,5 year old German shepherd called Kennedy. Kenny for short. He's been in training for a year or so and I've had 6 training sessions with him."

Charles: "Kennedy?"

Claire: "yes."

Charles: "do you have a picture or video?"

Claire: "a picture yes. It was from training."

Charles: "he looks good."

Claire: "true. Did you get the piano fixed by the way?"

Charles: "Arthur said he helped the guy a little so I guess so?"

Claire: "you didn't try it?"

Charles: "no...?"

Claire: "jeez Charles."

I got up from my chair and sat down behind the piano. I held my hands on my lap thinking of a song.

Charles: "Make you feel my love... Adele."

Claire: "okay."

Claire: "When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love."

My fingers had moved to the right keys as I hit every note with my voice and fingers exactly right. It had taken some time to learn the song but I completely knew it by now. I stopped and got up.

Claire: "yep it works."

Charles: "why do you get all the talent in this house. I want some of that too!"

Claire: "your a racing driver."

Charles: "who got beaten by his own girlfriend own a hot lap?!"

Claire: "okay true. But there are plenty of things that you can do that I can't!"

Charles: "like?"

Claire: "get me pregnant."

Charles: "well you can't get yourself pregnant can you? Because I would love to see that happen!"

Claire: "I can't."

Charles placed a kiss on my cheek before walking to the fridge. Maverick walked into the living room and laid down on the floor.

Claire: "hey baby."

Maverick: "hai mommy."

Claire: "what are you doing?"

Maverick: "nothing because I'm bored."

Claire: "do you wanna visit the beach?"

Maverick: "yes!"

Claire: "you go ask dad and then we will ask Meeko okay?"

Maverick: "okay!"

After we had lunches Charles and I prepared both boys for the beach and then ourselves. I had pulled on a blue bikini and had done my hair half up. I pulled on a shirt of Charles and then pulled on my flip flops. We took our bags and both held the hand of one of the boys. We walked to the beach together before laying down towels ect for the boys. I rubbed my eyes a little before I laid down on my stomach next to my little fellows. Charles on my other side. I turned my head to Charles as he laid down on his stomach just like me. He laid his face close to mine letting our noses touch softly.

Charles: "still proud of how you did it ma cherie."

Claire: "still thankful for all three of you..."

He kissed my lips softly before we smiled to each other.
