Mark straps Riley in. Joe: "I see Riley's still here. Mark, if you're going to keep Riley permanently, I think you should hire a babysitter. Or one of those baby teachers. So he can learn stuff. At least think about it"
I put my hand on your shoulder. "Dan, Tia knows you don't live in Phoenix. You told her about the drop off. Text her and see where she lives. Maybe you can meet up with her. And her friend. Think about it, D. One for each of us"
"Nope. Nobody's staying at Carol's. We'll see her later" The plane takes off. Riley gets a little fussy so Mark takes him to walk up and down the aisles.
"Carol went back in the hospital today. She can't keep Riley. He's staying with us until she gets out" We drop the car off and get on the plane. "The flight's sold out. We're gonna have to hold Riley"
"That's fine, Dan. He's probably still new to babysitting. I hope you helped him" She drives to the store. "I need to pick up a few things. Can you put Joey and Cody in the stroller? Maddie can walk"
"I will" I drop Dan off. I go to the hospital and find Carol's room. She greets us. Riley runs up to her and gives her a big hug. "Mommy" ---- Dan meets Tia for their date. They talk before their food comes
She powders you and changes you into a fresh diaper. "There you go sweetie. Tell your mom to order another case. Your supply is running low. And our back up diapers are less than impressive"
