Derek smiled. "Thank you." He said and bounced Jessica as she babbled. He looked at Anna Ella smiling softly. "They are perfect Bella. Just perfect. " he gave Jessica a kiss in the forehead smiling

Annabella opened her mouth to correct the woman, but Derek spoke before she could and then the woman left. She turned and glared at him. "You aren't their father Derek. You shouldn't be making people think we are together." Sighing she hugged little Andrew and nodded, "They are perfect though."

Derek shrugged. "I know, I'm sorry." He said brushing Jessica's cheek. "Maybe we could get together tonight? A celebration maybe?" He suggested smiling a little at her

Annabella looked at him and bounced her con gently. She sighed. "And do what? I have 2 babies to take care of and I'm supposed to be taking it easy for a while."

He shrugged. "Well I could deliver a pizza and we can just sit and talk. The kids can come of course." He suggested "It would just be a time to sit and talk. Plus I think Jessica likes me." He smiled

Annabella looked at her very happy daughter and smiled softly. "Alright. Come to my place? I don't want to get them out again. They've had some eventful few days. I bet they could use some normal."

He smiled "Alright, I can just follow you home. But first you need to finish shopping." He smiled bouncing Jessica, Jessica looked up at him her eyes wide but she smiled taking hold on his shirt like he was her dad

Annabella smiled and nodded, "Sure." She placed Andrew back in his carrier, he let out a little huff, and started to squirm, but only until the cart began moving. He calmed down and giggled happily, enjoying the ride. She smiled and picked up items as she needed them. Occasionally she would glance over at Derek and her daughter, a happiness in her eyes.

Jessica curled up into his falling back asleep. He smiled and walked with her. "They are just adorable. I love them." He chuckled quietly. He looked at Annabella smiling at her

Annabella smiled and continued to fill her cart. "They're the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm glad you like them. They are my life."

Derek smiled and nodded "That's great. Your such a great mother too. I always knew you would be." He said smiling at her. "Perfect children for a perfect girl."

Annabella blushed and glanced away. "You should put her in her carrier so she can sleep. She's the fussy one out of the two. If you wake her up she's like a very tiny grizzly bear, much like her mother when she is tired."

Derek smirked. "Then I defiantly want to not wake her," he teased and carefully set her down, Jessica stayed asleep curling into her carrier.

Annabella smiled and rolled her eyes. "You only made that mistake one time. When we went camping you just had to wake me up." She chuckled and shook her head. "I loved that trip."

He nodded "That ended up being such a great trip, even when I woke you up," he laughed smiling at her. "I miss those days sometimes." Derek said

Annabella nodded and shrugged "Yeah we had some great times. Everything was always so easy. Then again it was grade school and middle school we didn't have that much responsibility."

He nodded. "I think we could still make it work." He said looking over at her. He missed her and seeing her with these two, he felt bad. Caleb had taken advantage of her and now she was stuck with two children going into her sophomore year.

Annabella shrugged and kept walking. She only got about 3 steps before she paused and looked at him. "Make what work Derek?" She looked confused as if she wasn't sure what he was talking about.

Annabella gave him a look, then shrugged. "If you say so." After about 15 more minutes she had everything they needed and headed for the check out. "You really didn't have to walk me through the whole store you know."

He nodded "Yes, I know. But I wanted to." Derek shrugged "Is that a problem?" He asked

Annabella shook her head, "No I don't mind. You're always good company." She started putting groceries on the belt so the cashier could check her out.

Annabella smiled and paid for the groceries, then headed out to her car and started loading them, while her children slept quietly. Andrew had passed out barely five minutes after his sister had.

Derek smiled a little. "I'll load the children." He offered. He took the carriers and loaded Andrew in first and then Jessica. He smiled softly at the spelling kids. Then he went back to Annabella. "I'll take the cart you hop on." He offered

Annabella smiled at him as she finished unloading the groceries, then was about to take the cart when he offered. "Oh thanks Derek." She grabbed her purse and climbed into the car and started it up. She looked in the mirror and watched her sleeping babies. A smile spread across her lips.

Annabella smiled and nodded, "Sure sounds good." She waited for him to get into his car, then headed back to the cottage. Once there she climbed out and checked on the sleeping babies, then let them stay in the car and started to take in groceries. Every trip inside she paused to look at them. She figured they could sleep while she unloaded the car, because if she woke them while carrying them in at least all the groceries would be inside while she tried to calm their crying. Once the groceries were in she smiled as Derek pulled in and waved at him, then started to take Andrew's carrier out. She took him inside and set it on the empty counter, he was still sound asleep. She went back and got Jessica and carried her in, then left the door open for Derek as she set a still sleeping Jessica beside her brother and started putting the groceries away

Derek followed her the whole way. He was looking forward to some time together. He parked and headed inside after she was done. He smiled. "Want some help?" He asked

Annabella was bent over, putting some apples into the drawer when he came in. She glanced up and smiled, "Sure can you hand me to bag of fruit so I can put the rest in here?"
