It Started With A Photo

Another Grey

Kate
I can't believe I have two babies nine months apart. Elliott better keep his hands busy because I am not going to get pregnant again so soon. Ava Grace Grey is loud and demanding, I can't figure out where she got that from. I have been working hard and trying to keep things running smoothly at the company and Ethan has not helped at all. Then again he has his own business left to him by our aunt. That was what I thought until Mia told me that he sold it to Christian a long time ago. Elliott loves our children but good Lord he needs to get used to using protection against what causes pregnancy. I definitely use it and the side effects are worse than what he needs to use. Let's put more research money into birth control pills for men.

Elliott
Kate and my mom have been talking about researching birth control pills for men and it scares me. These are two well respected women and they might just get it done. Anastasia has joined in on the chat and soon there will be a snowball rolling downhill building momentum. Can you imagine how many men would forget their pills or their shots. We can't remember the condoms at times, well I was told the horror stories of not using condoms. I know some from the guys working around me. Those conversations ended when ladies joined the crews. Talk about meetings about inappropriate behavior and sexual content of conversations. My HR had courses they had to take and give to all my staff male and female and others. We now have three different restrooms in all our buildings. We now offer that to our new projects. It puts us ahead of the trends and adds to the value of the properties.

Mia
I get into the conversation about men and birth control pills. I think it sounds great. I am still having issues with my shots. We have invested in a condom assortment and boy does Ethan whine. He finally got over his male chauvinist ideas. Especially since he can bring clients in without a reservation. We chat about this and Elliott goes to chat with Ethan and Christian walks in with Teddy and Anastasia. Dad is smart and went into his man cave. He hides in there when we women talk about things like this.

Ethan
I stayed in the man cave with Carrick and Elliott and Christian joins us. Teddy is lucky that he is still a baby. Amelia is going to be leading the charge along with Ava on this birth control pill or shots for men.

Grace
I just agree with the young ladies and hope that they get funding for it, good luck with that ladies. I agree with them but we all know what sex controls the funding for such things and they aren't women. I just don't see it happening in my lifetime. I give it my support in anyway I can though. It is a good thing the men ran off to the man cave with Carrick. They leave us in the kitchen to fix lunch and not one offered to assist us in making lunch that they will be waiting for us to deliver to the table. I thought I taught my children better than that. He'll let them make their own food, I tell the young ladies that and they chuckle. We sit out on the patio and have our food and drinks. The men can fend for themselves.

Carrick
I head to find out when lunch is being served and see it isn't being served to us men. I guess we have to fend for ourselves because we didn't offer to help with anything. Grace might not say it in words but her actions or lack of actions tells me everything I need to know. I tell the men they need to fend for themselves because we screwed up and failed to assist in fixing lunch or even trying to help. Lunchmeat sandwiches it is. I tell the men this is marriage get used to it guys. Don't neglect your woman and don't take her for granted or you pay the price even if you make your own lunch you have screwed up by not helping out with everything around the house. We both have difficult jobs so we share all household responsibilities. I forgot that today.

Christian
I jump in and make me a sandwich and see potato salad and a few other treats. Teddy is sleeping soundly so I eat my sandwich with the ladies. I even brought the pitcher of drinks with me. Teddy is under a netting and in the shade close by. Anastasia smiles at me and says I thought you were going to hide in your dad's man cave all afternoon. I kiss her and tell her nope and I was sorry for not helping with lunch. I think they all are laughing at me inside their heads.

Carrick
I gather things on a tray and take it out to the patio and everyone follows suit. They know they are in trouble now. Elliott has both children with him and he takes them to the nursery to sleep along with Ethan taking Amelia there as well. They soon bring more food out on trays with them and more drinks. They might be staying the night tonight. They have drank a bit before lunch. Anastasia can drive, well I had hoped. The women have been drinking as well. The nannies are here just in case the children need them. Jason gets the weekends off and security is in the security office and by the gates.

Kate
I tell Anastasia that someone is coming by to get measurements to expand the house and they will assure they are checked out. She tells me to have Jason and Barney to run the background checks. I know she can run a more thorough one so I am going to give her the persons name later on.
