We were having a bbq in the backyard tonight with our close friends and everyone had just finished arriving.
"So how's she doing?" I asked Grace on her newborn.
"She hates sleep, hates me sleeping, and has a very high scream that allows no one in the street to sleep. She's a doll." She laughed and I smiled.
"Kenny baby, can you get a plate for me please?"
"I'm hungwy." She said, rubbing her eye and putting her head on my lap.
"Go see daddy he'll get you a plate." I told her, pointing to Pete.
"I want you to get it."
"Of course you do." I mumbled, handing Messer to Tess.
I grabbed her hand and walked her to the table of food.
I started with her plate when I heard Messer start to cry.
"Kali?" Tess laughed, holding the baby out.
I stopped cutting her dinner up and walked over to grab him off Tess when Kenny began to cry.
"Hey what's wrong princess?" Pete asked her, picking her up.
"Mummy won't get me food."
"Well here Daddy will get it for you."
"I want mummy to get it."
"Well daddy's gonna get it." He said, and she looked at him through watery eyes and he kissed her cheek.
"Okay daddy." She said, putting her head on his shoulder and letting her tears fall silently.
"Good girl honey." He smiled, finishing her plate and sitting at the table with her.
"Thank you Daddy." She whispered as he fed her.
We raised some bloody good kids.
Messer had finally calmed down and I sat beside Pete & Kendall, watching them interact.
"Good dinner baby girl?" I asked & she nodded.
"Daddy cooked it all."
"Yes he did baby. Is it yummy?"
She nodded with her mouth full & Pete laughed.
"When does the chef get fed?" He whispered, putting his hand on my thigh.
I grinned and looked down at Messer, asleep.
"As soon as she finds something to do." I laughed and he sighed.
"She's been attached to my bloody hip all night."
I laughed and shrugged my shoulders,
"Well then I guess the chef doesn't get fed?" He smiled and shook his head.
"Come on Kenny, you're killing me babe." He laughed at her, helping her eat.
"Daddy, can I get a drink of water please?"
"Here babe." He passed her the water bottle and she finished eating.
"Thank you daddy." She said, kissing his cheek & running off to play with the other kids.
