A Different Way To Finding Each Other

Match Making Backfire

"Who is this guy?" Trista Rubens asked her two nieces, Aubrey and Audrey Miller. 

"Robert Quinn Jr.," they replied. "He's single."

"I'm not sure and you all know I can't move."

"He can," Aubrey replied. They did not know that Robert Quinn was the triplets father and that he would never move away and that he can't have kids anymore and that he was still in love with his former wife, Lena and that he could never go with another woman. Or the fact that the triplets are his main priority in life.

"Please?" the two girls begged.

"Sure," she replied. "But no promises."

It is January 15th and Robert sighed as he eyed Grace and Susan Stiles Miller.

"Our girls, Aubrey and Audrey set you up on a date with their Aunt Trista Rubens, their mother's sister."

"Oh," Robert replied. "I don't do dates and I'm not looking for a relationship and I have kids."

"We want the girls to see that," the two added. 

"I guess," he replied. "When?"

"Two weeks and she lives in Eureka," Grace replied. "She's 40."

Robert bit his lip and nodded. "Fine."

Callie heard the two girls. "My daddy's going on a date?" she asked herself. She was confused as she walked toward her mama's office after school. Extended daycare wasn't open that week as she sighed since they had five days till school started up again.

"Hi mama," Callie replied. 

"Hi baby girl. How was the playground?"

"Okay. The girls went to use the restroom, but I came to use yours," she said.

"Wise choice," Lena replied. "My smart baby girl. You came out like who?"

"Grams," Callie replied. Lena eyed her daughter and chased after her.

"Who?" Lena asked as she tickled her.

"You mama!" Callie giggled. "I need to pee."

Lena let her down as she remembered when she tickled her the last time and she peed all over her. Lena and Callie had to get cleaned up again after that.

By the time Callie came out, her friends were back and they were at a table that Lena set up and she brought over second grade review books.

"MAMA!" Callie whined. "Can we play first?"

"Fine one hour," Lena replied. "The toy chest is near the couch."

The girls played a game instead and it was Farm Monopoly from Fisher Price. Lena smiled at them playing a game as she got the CD player out and put on farm songs.

"Mama?" Callie asked. "Can we swim later?"

"Not today, but tomorrow," Lena replied. "I will see if daddy can take you all tomorrow."

"Okay," Callie whispered. "I meant Raging Waters."

Lena bit her lip. "I'm not sure baby girl."

"Why not?" her baby girl asked. "The boys are there now."

"We need to see," Lena replied. Truth is they are afraid to let Callie go anywhere and the girl new it. "Well it's not fair!"

"Callie Elizabeth!" her mama warned and arched her eyebrows.

"NO!" the girl replied. "You and mommy just don't love me or want me to have fun."

"YOUNG LADY!" Lena replied. "That's enough."
