"Salad, I got it," Cole grinned, going to the refrigorator and getting out the food. "Done. Now what?" he asked, sitting the salad on the table and walking toward Ali.

"Here you go," Maddie smiled, handing her the baby carefully. Maddie sat down on the table. "You're great at holding babies! Are you practicing for the new baby?"

Hannah nodded. "Yeah mommy said that being a big sister twice is doubly important so I have to practice I was to young to hold julia til she was alost one whole years"

Alli smiled. "thats everythign once its done cooking we can eat" she said with a smile. "Oh yeah DUH! we have to set the table."

Maddie laughed. "You'll do great," she smiled. "Now, it's almost time for dinner and you need to get ready. Go get your brother, sister, and cousin and tell them to wash up, OK? Angel needs to sleep, but when she's done, you can hold her some more."

Cole rolled his eyes. "Yeah," he said, getting the plates and silverware. "You can get the cups," he said, looking at the cabinet. He smiled at her and began to work.

Alli smiled slightly and stood up. She walked over to the oak cabniets and pulled out enough cups for everyone. "Shawn and Hannah can have milk, Julia will want her apple juice, that girl cannot get enough apple juice. Everyone else I dont know but I know i want a cup of ice water that sounds amazing right now. Cole what would you like to drink?" she asked as she began pouring cups smiling. She set a few of the cuts on the table in front of the plates and silverware.

Hannah nodded and waited for Aunt MAddie to take Angel from her hands. Then she jumped up and ran upstairs. "Shawn! Zac! Julia! Time to eat come on we need to wash out hands!" she said as she walked into her cousins bedroom. "come on guiys I hungry"

"Milk will be fine, thanks," Cole grinned, running a hand through his hair. He finished up and washed his hands in the sink.

"Okay," Shawn said, jumping up and laying his book on the bed. He didn't bother with the glasses. He went into the bathroom, washing his hands. "Come on!" he shouted, running down stairs.

"Wait up, wait up, wait up!" Zac shouted, hurring with his wet hands. He ran after Shawn. "Come on!" he said.

Hannah smiled and woke Julia up. She walked her to the bathroom and washed her hands. She walked her downstairs smiling.

Alli grabbed some more things and finished the table, she hoped that Maddie would get Luke to come outand eat.

Cole sat down, leaning against the back of the chair. "Um, we might not have any room for everyone. I mean, Julia can eat with me." he said.

Maddie rolled her eyes at the kids, checking on Angel once more, and went to Luke's little office. "Luke, dinner's ready. Come down if you feel like it." She then went down stairs behind Julia and Hannah. "Wow, guys, you made dinner!" she grinned, sitting down.

Zac sat beside his mother, smiling at everyone. His blue eyes scanned everyone, observing them.

Shawn sighed and sat beside his dad. "Can we eat?"

Alli smiled. "think we may have...just enough chairs" she muttered. "Ill put Julia on my lap and Luke might not be down til later on" she said. "and Maddie I told you we would make dinner so that is what we did!" she shook her head and smiled slightly "yes we can eat"

Julia crawled onto her mommy's lap tiredly. Her thumb stuck in her mouth definatly. Talking around her thumb she asked her daddy "daddy can I have some juice I tirsty"

Hannah sat down and scooted up into the chair and started grabbing food hungrily. She smiled and piled a large scoop of mashed potatoes onto her plate. She smiled and grabbed her spoon and started eating ignoring the rest of the food, mashed potatoes were her favorite.

Cole smiled and handed Julia the plastic cup of juice. "There you go, baby," he said, looking at his other children. "Hannah, you've got to eat more than potatoes," he said. He began to eat himself, nibbling on chicken before eating full-throttle.

Shawn smiled and also began to eat, looking at his plate before digging in on his mashed potatoes. He, too, liked his mashed potatoes, but not as much as Hannah. He thought that Hannah could live on mashed potatoes alone.

Maddie ate, listening for Luke and/or Angel. She sighed, sipping on juice and looked at her watch.

Julia took her thumb out of her mouth just so she could stick the juice into her mouth. "MHMMMM APPLE MY FAVWRITE" she said happily. "thank you daddy!"

Hannah rolled her eyes and grabbed the smallest piece of chicken possible and ate it quickly. Then she started to eat the mashed potatoes again smiling.

Cole smiled. "You're welcome," he grinned. Cole looked at Hannah and smiled at her. "Hey, if you eat your food, maybe we'll go to see a movie, I don't know, called Alvin and the Chimpmunks."

Shawn looked at his father. "Really?" he asked.

"Yeah, since we've got to hi--nevermind. If that's OK with your mom and Maddie."

Zac smiled. "Pwease?!"

Hannah looked up at her dad in awe. "really?" she asked her cheeks stuffed with mashed potatoes. She grabbed a full piece of chicken and flopped it on her plate. "IU really wanna see Alvin I like alvin he is Soo cute and cuddly" she said betwen huge bitefulsd of food. "mommy can we go see Alvin PWEASE pretty please with sugar on top and ICE CREAM" she asked

Julia looked up at her mom. "Yeah mommy can we go see Avin and the Chupmooks?" she asked smiling around the sippie cup.

Alli shook her head dissaprovingly and looked over at Cole, he had almost stated the reason why they had moved out of their home and into Maddie's basement. She smiled at her three loving children. "Um...I guess we can go see Alvin as long as all of you clean your plates and Zac you have to ask your mom!" she said before she began to eat slowly.

(PM me Ash we need to talk about baby names )

Maddie grinned. "Yeah, Zac, you can go. If you need me to go help, I can come."

"Yeah!" Zac grinned, hopping in his seat. He began to eat more.

Cole smiled, finishing up and leaning back in his chair. He'd heard Shawn singing a song that sounded like something from the movie a few days ago, and that gave him the idea. He looked at Ali, winking at her.

Shawn smiled. "Yes," he whispered and ate fast. "I'm done, can we go now?"

Hannah finished eating quickly. SHe was full. She slirped down her juice quickly. "Okay lets go I ready, but wait i gotta go do my hair" she said jumping up from her chair and running to a nearest bathroom. Shed brushed her hair quickly before comoing back out. "mom can I wear make up?" she asked

Alli shook her head as Hannah ran off. "she is going to be one very hard to handle teenager" she muttered before eating slowly. Hannah ran back out and she shook her head. "no hannah not until your a teenager!" she said.


Hannah stomped back out of the room and rolled her eyes.

Alli continued to eat and smirked at Cole.

Cole grinned and nodded. "Yeah, all three--I mean, four--of them," he smiled. He got up and put Hannah's plate in the sink. "Shawn, go clean up. Take your cousin and sister with you, too." he added, sitting back down.

"OK," Shawn said, grabbing his cousin's and sister's hands. He smiled at them and went into the living room. "Are they serious? Are we really going to a movie?" he asked.

Cole sighed and ate the rest of his food. "I figured they'd see something I know they want too before we hide or what ever. Technically, they don't hide, but it's more safe if they do." Cole sighed. "Hey, maybe we could get out after the movie, if you feel like it. Maybe shop around for things, oh, we could get something for the baby!" he said to Ali. "If Maddie will go with us."

ooc: Sorry about the slow delay. We moved a little ways up the street and they haven't turned on our cable (which goes along with the internet) yet. I'm at school right now.

"I know," Cole said. "But what will we tell them?" he paused. "We'll think about that later. For now, let's enjoy ourselves." he smiled. "Oh, and I'm sure she could find Angel a babysitter. Luke's always here." he said.

Alli nodded. "Oksy that makes sense" she said with a grin. She looked at Cole. "How am I supposed to know I dont know how to tell then let alone when"

(thats alright!)

ooc: I'm getting cable tomorrow! Yeah!

Cole smiled lightly and began to fidget with his shirt. "Well, let's clean up. I'll go ask Maddie and stuff, and see about Angel and change Julia's clothes. Um...we can leave in about ten minutes, if that's OK."
