I was sleeping when the morning sun was peaking through the curtains, "Darling wake up." I said kissing Alli's cheek. "No too early." She groaned out. I laughed at her, "Stubbins can handle the animals and you know it." She said. "Alright." I said. As we were going back to sleep someone jumped in our bed, "Mommy, Daddy wake up." Our little girl Ella said. We opened our eyes looking at her.

"We're up, we're up sweetheart." Alli said looking at her. I grabbed her and brought her to the bed tickling her sides, "Daddy." She said giggling. We laughed at her high pitched giggle, "About time you two woke up." A voice said. We looked seeing Stubbins carrying our son River.

We smiled at him and I picked up Ella as Alli got River, "He had his milk already

We smiled at him and I picked up Ella as Alli got River, "He had his milk already." Stubbins said. "You are a big help." She said kissing her brothers said. We got to the kitchen and Alli made breakfast as I helped her while Stubbins and Ella got ready for the day. River was eating some bread Alli cut up for him, "Breakfast in done." Alli said. I got everyone's plates out as Alli set River in his seat. "Morning Dolittle family and Stubbins." Poly said. "Morning Poly." Alli and I said.

Alli gave River his cut up eggs and the toast blowing on it for him, "Morning doc." Yoshi said. "Morning Yoshi." I said taking the apples off the tree branch. Alli cut them up and slid them down to Yoshi, "Thanks Al." Yoshi said. She winked at him, "No problem buddy." She said. Chee Chee came in next with Ella on his back, "Oi you breakfast mommy and I made it." I said sitting her next to me. "Okay daddy." She said. 

I blew on it making sure it was still warm, "Thanks for the help Cheech." Alli said. "No problem Al." Chee Chee said. Alli gave River a little fruit. We got all the animals food. I counted to see who we're missing, "Okay we're missing two." I said. Alli looked around then whistled. Elliott and Elsie came in, "There they are." She said holding bananas to them. They grabbed them the ran off, "Don't leave the peel laying around." I said to them. Stubbins sat down and we ate our meal.

*Skip a few hours*

"You guys promise not to make a big deal?" Stubbins asked as we walked into Buckingham Palace. "When have we ever...." I was saying. The two looked at me, "Okay yeah." I said. Ella held onto Stubbins' hand as Alli carried River, "Stubbins." Lady Rose said hugging him. "Hi Rose." He said hugging her. "Hi Rosie." Ella said. "Hello Ella." She hugged her, "Dolittle family." She said.

We smiled and followed her, "Alli?" Two voices asked. Alli froze and looked back seeing two men who wanted her dead three years ago, "Colin, Robin." She said smiling. They chuckled as did Alli, "Are you alright if I....." She was saying. "They're your brothers." I said. She hugged both of them, "How are you?" Colin asked. "I am doing great." She said.

"I heard you got married." Robin said. "Yeah." She said as I handed River to Stubbins. He held him, "You guys know my husband." Alli said. "We knew he was the one the whole time." Robin said. "You two?" Alli asked. "Oh we brought someone with us." Colin said. "Who?" I asked scared. There was a hand on my shoulder and I stiffened, "Dolittle." Rassouli said. "Yes?" Alli and I asked. He chuckled, "So it is true you two did marry." "Yes sir." We said kind of scared. "Don't be alarmed I am not gonna hurt you and neither are they." He said.

"So who are those two with you brother?" Rassouli asked pointing at Ella who Stubbins was spinning in a circle as River was held my Lady Rose. "Ella." I said. She looked at us, "Come here sweetheart." She ran over smiling. "Yes daddy?" She asked. "Honey these are friends of mommy and daddy." Alli said. "Hi I am Ella May Dolittle." Ella said. "Yeah that's Alli's daughter" Colin said.

We laughed, "Hi I am Colin." "I am Robin." Robin said. "I am Rassouli." "How do you know my mommy and daddy?" Ella asked. "That's a story for when you're older." Rassouli said. She nodded, "And that boy." Lady Rose passed River to Alli. "This is our son River." I said. "River Nolan Dolittle." Alli said looking at the two brothers.

They smiled, "He's gonna be John already." Rassouli said. We laughed, "I think he already understands Chee Chee." I said. We laughed, "I know Chee Chee he's my friend." Ella said. "Yes he is." Alli said. "Ella Lady Rose wants to show you her room." Stubbins said. "Okay mommy, daddy....." She was saying. "God ahead." We said. "No sugar." The two girls ran off.

"And you know this guy." I said. "Tommy." The two brothers said. "This is the boy who stole my daughter's journal?" Rassouli asked. "Sorry about that." Stubbins said. "It's alright you've turned into a fine young man I see." "Yes he has mum and dad would be proud." Alli said smiling at her brother. He smiled, "We'll let you guys go." Robin said. We nodded, "Oh and uh Stubbins." Colin said. He looked at him, "She's a keeper." Colin said. We laughed, "I didn't say anything."

*Skip until goes home*

Alli and I got the kids to bed along with the animals then we fell asleep. I laid down as did Alli once we both were in pajamas. I kissed her forehead smiling against it, "I love you." I said. "I love you too." She said running her fingers through my hair. I kissed her and she kissed me back, "Good night darling." I said. "Good night handsome." She said as she laid her head on my chest as I wrapped my arms around her going to sleep with a smile on our faces.
