Me and Joey both dress up for Thanksgiving dinner with My Mom and Katrina.
Joey grabs Eliana from her crib and shows me what he dressed her into.
Tabitha:Awe Joey your so great at picking baby clothes.
I give my husband a kiss and he smiles and then there is a knock at the door.I go over to the door opening it to see my Mom and Katrina.
Tabitha:Hey come on in.
The two enter the apartment and look around and Mom see's Eliana.
Robin:Oh hi Eliana..
Katrina:Hi Eliana.
I smile but then Katrina turns to mom.
Katrina:I'm gonna leave.
Robin:Katrina Marie Sanderson.You are staying here and are gonna get to know your sister and her husband and visit your niece.
Katrina:I'm 21 years old i can make my own decisions.
Robin:Well your not acting 21 young lady.
Katrina:I wish i had Dad!."Leaves".
I look at where Katrina left from with sad eyes.
Tabitha:L-let me talk to her.
I go over to the stairs and Katrina is sitting down with her head in her knee's.
Tabitha:Katrina.
Katrina:What do you want?.
Tabitha:When Dad died I was 9 years old...I missed out on having him in my life since then.I know how it feels to not have your dad.
Katrina:I never even met him Tabitha.

Tabitha:"Smiles".She hasn't even met them yet Joey.
Joey:Oh...Right.Cookie is excited to meet Eliana by the way.
Tabitha:"Chuckles".Of course.
Later on Me and Joey just got Eliana ready for bed.I rock Eliana in a rocking chair in our bedroom and I decide to sing.
Tabitha:"Sings".I see trees of green,Red roses too,I see them bloom,For me and you,And I think to myself,What a wonderful world.I see skies of blue,And clouds of white,The bright blessed day,The dark sacred night,And I think to myself,What a wonderful world.The colors of the rainbow,So pretty in the sky,Are also on the faces,Of people going by,I see friends shaking hands Saying How do you do?.They're really saying I love you,I hear babies cry,I watch them grow,They'll learn much more,Than I'll never know,And I think to myself,What a wonderful world.Yes I think to myself
What a wonderful world.
Eliana falls asleep and i put her into her play pen I keep next to Me and Joey's bed.I look at my husband who is smiling at me and I hop into bed next to him and cuddle up to him...I feel so blessed to have Joey and our child.I look over at Eliana who is making faces in her sleep.
