Previously…“Come on Bear we better get a move on they are starting to remove the President’s daughter from the car.” Zayne tossed her cell phone and its blue tooth into her electronics bag keeping her IPad with her. Everyone quickly went down the driveway and out the gate. Bear loaded up Zayne’s few small bags as she gave her girls one last hug. “You two be good for me okay. I will call you as soon as I can which will probably be tomorrow. Bear here will call and let you know when we have made it safely to the hospital. I have a feeling I will hit the ground running. Love you, all.” She climbed up the aircraft, Bear followed her up helping her get strapped in and securing her IPad so it wouldn’t fly around before helping her get her helmet on. Then he too climbed into the front seat and strapped in. Zayne waved to everyone once the hatch was closed. She saw the security guards moving everyone back as the jet began gearing up for lift off. It wasn’t long before they were in the air and heading for DC as fast as Bear could safely get them there.
“Wow!” Nat turned to Fiona. “Is Zayne’s life always this exciting?”
“It has its moments.” She shrugged and led the way back to the house.

Chapter 6
Blair sat in her bed looking down at a picture she had secretly carried in her wallet since it was developed. It was of her and Jo standing together smiling with their arms around one another both showing off their high school diplomas. Those two girls looked happy and excited about the future ahead. Innocent was what they were. Innocent was not what they were anymore.
The blonde had always been intrigued by Jo. The girl from the Bronx was so different than anyone she had ever met. The tomboy had been dropped into a world unlike anything she had previously known and had not tried to conform to what everyone else thought she should be, but had taken the opportunity offered her and thrived. Blair was not surprised Jo had done so again when her world had been swept away and she had been dropped into a new one. The direction her old friend had taken and exactly how well she had thrived was startling.
At lunch after the Harrier had left they had been treated to a lovely meal on the lanai overlooking the rear of the property. The twins were talking and mentioning videos they enjoyed watching of their mothers before they were born and when they were babies. That got everyone interested in seeing some of them. Apparently Fiona, Teddy, and the children had quite a collection of videos and photos on their IPads and computers.
Teddy had built a record from Jo’s time in the hospital as she recovered and slowly became Zayne. She had been thin and frail looking in the picture of her first day at Cambridge Medical School with her backpack slung over her shoulder and her hair cut very short and spiky blonde on top. The young woman looked nothing like her former self. The woman’s eyes still held sadness, but also hope.
They had all watched as she grew healthier and her spikes went from blonde, to red, to black over the years. The sadness had lingered until one day it was gone and an excitement shown there. Teddy said that was the day Zayne had met Faith. From then on the spiky hair began to relax and grow out and a happy woman had taken the sad ones place. They had all watched Zayne graduate with honors from med school, followed her progress all the way through until she finished her surgical training. They had also watched her relationship grow with Faith from courtship, engagement, marriage, children, and death. Teddy and Fiona had done a wonderful job documenting their lives together, many of the women had tears in their eyes when the sadness came back into Zayne’s eyes, yet they lit when she was with her daughters. It was apparent to everyone that they were her salvation. The twins had brought her through the toughest times. They saw pictures and videos of Zayne as she built herself from the sad skinny battered young woman to skilled surgeon and computer phenom and a wonderful mother. Everyone saw photos of her with her mentor Dr. Leeds with many prominent political and entertainment figures from around Europe. Those pictures slowly changed to ones of her alone with prominent figures once her training was complete and she had built a name for herself as a surgeon. Zayne Masters had tea with the Queen. The PM had come to her home several times and her children played with his grandchildren. Zayne and Fiona had even attended the Prince’s wedding. They were among the lucky few to be inside the church. Zayne had built herself into a wealthy powerful person on a personal level as well as a political one. The stunning woman had truly conquered her world and continued to do so as that world grew and changed.
Blair stared down at the picture thinking about all she had learned over the past few days. She had loved Jo and been intrigued by her and had not truly realized what she had until it had been taken away. However, Zayne was utterly fascinating her and stirred her in ways no one ever had, except maybe Jo herself when they were younger. But back then Blair wasn’t prepared or wouldn’t even acknowledge such feelings. Yet when Zayne came striding into her home in a bathing suit showing off her glorious body and commanding everyone around her with such confidence and authority it made the stirrings she had had for a young Jo pale in comparison to the whirlwind of feelings and emotions Dr. Zaynedria J. Masters caused within her.
The blonde could still see hints of the girl she knew, but the woman of the now made her heart and body sit-up and take notice as no one ever had. The way the surgeon loved her children and family made her that much more attractive. A warmth spread over Blair’s body as she remembered the smile Zayne had for her, the feel of their bodies pressed close, strong arms holding her tight, and the tingles and goose bumps that spread over her when Zayne had whispered in her ear. No one had ever called her princess like that, not even Jo.
Would the others be shocked if they found out the way she was feeling towards Zayne? Did she really care? She wasn’t the naive girl anymore who pushed away the stirrings for a relationship her family and peers would not approve of. Her parents had a hard enough time with the fact they were friends much less anything else.
Back then Blair dreamt of a marriage that would make her parents proud, having future Warners’, and someday taking over Warner Enterprises for her father. Now that naiveté was gone. The man her parent’s approved of was a womanizing cad, and she was glad to finally be rid of him. She had also found out, due to a serious illness and infection she had during her early teenage years her eggs were damaged and no longer viable, so the future Warners’ were out too. To top it all off her father was never going to let her take over Warner Enterprises. Blair had used funds from her own inheritances and trusts when she saved Eastland. The only reason her father let her help out in the ventures she had worked on with Tad was he thought Tad was in-charge. Now he only let her manage the charitable side of his business. The man thought her place was to marry someone who could take care of her and he would put a male Warner in his place someday. He thought women of her station couldn’t run a corporation as well as a man.
Looking at the examples of the society women, such as her mother and her friends, Blair could understand his views to a point, but didn’t he see her or know her at all. She wasn’t like her mother and the others. Mrs. Garret, Jo, Natalie, and even Tootie had taught her a lot about life outside her parent approved click of friends and colleagues.
In that moment Blair decided she didn’t care what others thought. She was going to see where the attraction and longing that erupted within her the moment she met Zayne would take her. With that pleasant thought the picture was set on the nightstand, and the lamp clicked off, before the smiling blonde snuggled down into soft bedding hopefully to dream of a certain dark haired beauty.

Natalie had a friend who was one of the reporters camped out at the hospital and kept them informed of the latest on what was going on in DC while they all waited. They were all getting to know one another and getting along famously. Mrs. G and Marie were in the kitchen together talking food. Beverly Anne and Fiona were talking photography. Tootie and Martin had found they both had a love for theatre and he called her Dorothy. Teddy was enlightening Nat on all the latest gadgets that could assist her as a journalist. The twins and Blair had been drawn to each other. Blair was learning even more of Zayne and becoming even more interested as time went on.
The trio were currently sitting together painting one another’s nails after they had done each other’s hair.
“This is fun. We haven’t done this with anyone except Mom and Nana. Although Teddy lets us paint his toe nails, because he says nobody usually sees his feet in his socks and shoes.” Abby chatted while painting the blonde woman’s toes bright pink.
“Mom and us did sneak up on Pappa Martin once when he was sleeping in the den, and painted his toe and fingernails, and put make-up on him. Mom even put bright orange mouse in his hair.” Zoe grinned big at the memory as she worked on Blair’s fingernails.
“Boy is he fast for a Grandpa. He got Marie’s spoon and came after us when everyone started laughing and he saw himself in the hall mirror.” Abby was wearing a big smile too as they shared the tale.
“He would have caught us too, but Mom scooped us up and kept on running. Even carrying both of us she was faster than Pappa. Mom said she wouldn’t let him get us and she didn’t.” Zoe nodded showing she had complete faith in her Mom.
Blair loved how the girls spoke like that. Seamlessly talking almost like they could read each other’s minds. “Your Mom plays spa with you?” Definitely not something the girl she once knew would willingly do.
“Yeah, all the time. Mom wants us to be well rounded. She plays spa with us, dolls, house, pirates, tomb raiders, chase, explorers, cowgirls and Indians, and anything else the three of us can think up in our imagination tent.” Zoe blew on Blair’s nails.
“Mom teaches us lots of things. We are learning to work on a motorcycle and a car. We work in the garden, we are learning to cook, and Mom takes us to museums so we learn of art, history, and culture. We volunteer at a shelter and other programs to help people who aren’t as lucky as we are.” Abby was blowing on her toes.
“It is great at Christmas time when we adopt several less fortunate families and get to shop and pick presents for them. We buy them toys and clothes, and we make sure they have all the food they need to help make the holiday special and joyful. Makes us sort of like Santa Clause. It is really cool.” Zoe moved to the older woman’s other hand and switched colors.
“One of the best times is when it’s just Mom and us, and we spend a whole weekend at a spa getting pampered, and we pick out really pretty clothes and jewelry, and go out to dinner at a fancy place, and a play, the ballet, the symphony, or sometimes a gallery show afterwards.” Abby liked Zoe’s ideal of switching colors and switched to neon purple on Blair’s other foot.
“Mom works a lot, but she always makes time for us, and when she isn’t around she knows we are loved and cared for by Nana, Poppi, Pappa, and Auntie Marie. When we are in Cambridge Marie’s daughter Anna and Anna’s husband, Charles, watch out for us too.” Zoe took a moment to eye her work.
Blair was even more fascinated by Zayne and found out she had a lot to learn about the woman. “Does your Mom go out much? She is very pretty. I bet she could have lots of dates.”
The girls shook their heads. “No, Mom says that she will be single until she meets that special woman that makes her heart race and her palms sweat.” Abby stated as she too paused to check her work.
“She said that is what happened when she met out Mama and once when she was a teenager she felt that way for a really good friend of hers.” Zoe was satisfied with what she had done so far and began on the next nail.
“Mom said to go out with anyone who didn’t move her that way would be a waste of her time, and the other woman’s as well. She would much rather spend her time with us than waste it with them.” Abby too had went back to painting.
“If Mom ever does ask someone out we will know she is serious because she wouldn’t ask otherwise. Lots of women act all funny around Mom, and are really nice to us in front of her, but not so nice when she isn’t around. We tell Mom about that and she isn’t friends with them anymore. Mom hates fake people.” The girl shook her head at the weirdness of some grown-ups.
“Do you want your Mom to date someone serious?”
The girls nodded again. “Yes we do. We see how happy Mom was with Mama. She deserves that again.” Abby’s little face had turned serious as she spoke.
“But that woman would have to care for us too and fit in with our family, because our family is special to us, and we don’t want anyone to come in and mess that up.” Zoe’s expression was just as serious.
Blair nodded in understanding, and in awe of the two little girls and the woman who was their mother. “Are you sure the two of you are only 5 years old?”
They laughed. “Yes, people ask that all the time.” Abby giggled.
“Mom says we are very smart and she started us in an online school when we were three to help challenge us. We also learn from her, our Grandparents, Marie, and other friends of our family. Mom makes sure we get plenty of time with kids our own age as well. We go to dance, martial arts, and art classes. We even go to a gym for kids and have free playtime with our friends.” Zoe took her turn speaking.
Then Abby hers. “We go to our friends houses sometimes to play and they come to ours just like other kids. The difference is we are in year three in school and many of them haven’t started or are just starting year one.”
“I believe Mom said that was called second grade here, but we should be finishing that in a couple of weeks and we will get to have a spa weekend with Mom again.” Zoe looked up at Blair. “Maybe you could come with us. It is lots of fun.”
“Your Mom may not want me to. That is a special time you have together. You two might not want me to intrude on your time with your Mom either.” Blair’s heart fluttered at the thought at the thought of joining them. Slightly amazed at how much she would love to be a part of the little family. The woman got a little nervous when she saw the looks the two girls were giving her.
“We saw the way you looked at our Mom and the way she looked at you. The hug between you was different than the ones Mom shared with her other old friends.” Abby had a sly look on her precious face.
Blair saw Zoe had the same look. “You were a really good friend of Mom’s when you were teenagers weren’t you?”
The woman was stunned. She had been cornered and out maneuvered by five year olds. They were very much their Mother’s daughters. “Yes, your Mom used to be my best friend until she had to leave the states.”
The girls didn’t say anything else simply smiled knowingly and nodded before going back to their tasks.
What the trio didn’t know was that Edna, Fiona, and Marie had been standing outside the partially opened door observing them for most of their conversation. They had originally planned to join them, but didn’t want to interrupt the discussion that had been taking place. The women now stepped back down the hall with their hands over their mouths like children before closing the door to the library they had stepped into and burst out laughing.
“Those two are amazing. They snagged Blair and reeled her in before she knew what hit her.” Edna was breathless from laughter.
“My grandbabies are smart, just like their parents.”
“I loved the look on Ms. Blair’s face at the end when she realized what happened.” Marie was still giggling.
“I suspected the truth about Jo, but she never came to me and talked about it so I never pressed her about it. I saw the way she was with Blair. I occasionally caught glimpses when Blair thought no one was looking, of how she felt about Jo before she put it away again. I knew at that time Blair wasn’t ready or strong enough to go against her family. I believe Jo knew that too and when Blair got caught up in her feelings for the young man she was dating at the time, it finally pushed Jo out of her fantasy of maybe someday. Jo joined the Police Academy, broke-up with the young man she was dating, and decided to share with those around her who she really was. She was already prepared to move on from her childish dreams of Blair and begin her life on her own terms.” Edna sat down in a nearby chair.
“Do you think Blair still may have feelings for our Zayne?” Marie sat next to her.
“I think so. Everything so far indicates it.” Edna was thoughtful.
“But is she brave enough now to follow her own heart and wishes and not those of her family.” Fiona wondered.
“I believe so. Blair has seen the heartache that following where they lead got her. She isn’t a woman to be satisfied by an unloving society marriage. Blair craves unconditional love and passion with her soul mate and a loving family of her own. She found her parent’s advice on her husband was not conducive to that outcome. Blair is a stronger woman now than she was then. She seems very interested in getting to know Zayne and from the looks she gave her and the hug they shared, I would say Blair is attracted as well. We will have to wait and see.” Edna advised her new friends.
Fiona and Marie nodded in agreement and stood. “Let’s go see what Blair and the girls have planned next.” Fiona held the door as the others past on their way to join Blair and the twins.

That night everyone gathered in the family room to watch the press conference being held at the Washington Hospital Center. The hospital administration spoke first announcing the conditions of the Secret Service Agents. The driver had sustained many broken bones and suffered non-life threatening internal injuries, however because of a severe blow to the head was still in ICU, but a full recovery was hopeful. The other Agent also had severe head trauma, but of a lesser degree than the driver, however one of his ribs had punctured a lung and they were watching him closely. He too was still in ICU, but expected to make a full recovery. The President’s Daughter had several broken ribs, but had suffered severe life threating internal injuries. He spoke of the efforts the firefighters gave in getting the three people out of the car and of the medics on the scene as well as the skill of the surgeons who performed the lifesaving operations.
The group in South Hampton saw Zayne in her designer suit wearing the skirt, not the pants. She looked tired, yet still capable and strong. Next the President, First Lady, and their other two daughters stepped up to the podium. “On behalf of myself and my family I would like to say my many thanks to the firefighters and medics and those members of the trauma unit who helped save my daughter. I spoke to most of you personally and one thing that stood out from my conversations with the medics and those who assisted in the surgery is the fact that my daughter would not have made it if not for the skill and perseverance of one woman. A woman that I practically forced to help after hearing that the best trauma surgeon there is was currently nearby. The EMTs from the accident said that even over the Skype video conference she had with them at the scene she worked diligently to help them see things they missed. And instructed them in how to do things they weren’t sure about to help stabilize my baby enough so she could make it to the hospital. The woman did all this while going at Mach speed in a Harrier jet. This praise was further given by those who worked with her in the operating room. She used skill, persistence, will, determination, and brought leadership to the forefront and worked tirelessly for over twenty hours non-stop to save my baby. This surgeon promised me on the phone before I ever met her that she would do everything in her power to save my little girl and the woman has kept that promise. This skilled doctor is also the surgeon praised for saving the life of Federal Judge Raymond Sledge who was shot in his courtroom only days ago in New York City. Many may have heard of her before for various reasons.” The man turned and waved Zayne to join him and his family at the podium.
“Dr. Zaynedria Masters my family and I thank you for our daughter’s life from the bottom of our hearts.” He shook her hand and the First Lady hugged her while thanking her, as did the girls big sisters. The crowd clapped and flashes were going off everywhere.
In South Hampton Zoe and Abby jumped up and down clapping and dancing around while chanting. “Our Mom is awesome! Our Mom is awesome!” As the adults laughed and agreed. The girls quieted down immediately when their Mom began to speak.
“I am glad that I was able to assist in saving your daughter, but assist is all I did.” The doctor went on to praise the firemen naming their house and the individuals who worked to free those trapped. She named the EMT’s as well. How she knew all their names was a mystery since she had been in surgery since the girl arrived at the hospital and had only been out long enough to clean up for the press conference.
The doctor also praised and named the members of the trauma team who worked with her as well as the teams that worked on the injured Agents. She indicated those she had mentioned since they were all standing in the background behind her. “The rescue was a team effort and they deserve their own round of applause.” Zayne led it and everyone else followed suit. The doctor stepped off the podium to shake their hands and blend back into the background.
Blair leaned forward. “Your Mom really is awesome and smart too.” She was impressed. Zayne had taken her praise, shared it, and disappeared from the spotlight before anyone realized she was gone.
The girls smiled at one another over the look Blair had on her face when she spoke. They had a feeling that Blair could be the one for their Mom and their Mom could be the one for Blair. A few others caught that look as well and wondered the same thing.
Fiona stood clapping her hands. “Let’s pack-up for a few days in DC and head over early and surprise our girl. I have already changed our reservations for our suites so the rooms are available now. I will call the pilot and have the Lear readied for us and the car service can pick us up.” She glanced around the room. “What do you say?”
“Zayne has a Lear jet?” Was what Nat had to say. “That is so awesome.” She stood. “I am so with this plan. Come on guys what do you say?”
Zoe and Abby jumped in with a simultaneous. “We’re in!” and went to stand with Natalie.
One by one everyone agreed.
“It really is cool that Zayne has her own Jet!” Tootie smiled.
Teddy laughed. “Yeah and a very nice yacht in the harbor, too.”
“Oh Teddy! What a great idea! I will call the Captain and have them head down to DC and we can cruise along the coast on our way back. It will be grand fun!” Fiona bubbled as she pulled out her cell and began making calls.
“Yay!” The girls cheered. “Come on Marie you can help us pack and then we will help you.” Zoe took one of her hands.
“Don’t even think about staying behind.” Abby grabbed her other and began towing the woman towards the stairs.
Martin put his arms around Nat and Dorothy. “Come ladies, we better pack before Fiona and the girls leave us behind.”
Teddy offered his arms to Blair and Beverly Anne who took them and they followed the others up the stairs.

The plane had been fun. The two groups were meshing into one large unit. All they needed to add was Zayne. A small luxury bus took them from the private airport to the Ritz-Carlton Tysons Corners. Zayne was already in one of the suites. Fiona had found out from the man at the desk that Zayne had ordered a large meal soon after she checked-in and that was the last they had heard from the doctor. Her empty tray had been left in the hall.
“Nana, we want to go see Mom. We want to sleep with her.” Zoe looked at her Grandmother with puppy dog eyes.
“I know sweethearts. We will eat first and get you two ready for bed and then I will take you to your Mom, but only if you promise to go right to sleep. Your Mom is very tired and has worked hard. She needs rest and so do you two.”
“Yes, Nana.” The girls spoke in unison.
Everyone was shown to their rooms. Blair, Nat, and Tootie were staying in one suite together with two bedrooms. Fiona and Marie in another. Edna and Beverly Anne were also sharing a suite as were Martin and Teddy, yet the men’s suite only had one bedroom while the others had two. Zayne was in a suite with two bedrooms as well, but on that night the girls would be in the king size bed with her instead of in the other room.
The large group settled in and met in Fiona’s suite to eat dinner together. After the meal the girls pulled Blair in to help them clean up and get ready for bed.
“Those girls are as awesome as their Mom.” Natalie observed once the bedroom door closed behind Blair and the twins. “They are drawing her in like a fly to honey.”
Everyone cracked up.
“I can’t wait to see how they work once they get their Mom involved. I thought we were going to have to throw water on Blair when Zayne came into view in that swim suite looking like someone from a fitness magazine. I have the feeling the timing may finally be right for those two.” Tootie said thoughtfully.
“We shall see.” Edna said no more, yet she prayed it was so.
The girls came out towing Blair. Zoe was in a pink and purple tie died gown and Abby had on a shirt and sleep shorts with the girl from Brave on them. They were adorable. “Blair is going to take us to her room to show us some of her soft sleep clothes. We may want to get some.”
The door closed behind them as Blair took them to the suite she shared with Nat and Tootie.
“Those girls are up to something. Did anyone else notice they grabbed one of the extra card keys to their Mom’s suite as they went by? I would bet Blair didn’t.” Martin wondered as he stood to add his empty plate to the tray now stacked with empty dishes.
“Should I intervene?” Fiona questioned.
“No Fi, let them give it a try. Those two can pull off and get away with things we can’t. Besides this is the first time I have seen them like anyone who might want to be with their Mom, much less actively try to get them together. They have a right to help choose who will become an intimate part of their little circle. They’re giving Blair a chance they haven’t given anyone else.” Teddy gathered his plate as well. “If everyone is done Martin and I will set these trays in the hall. I think we should stay out of the way a few minutes and let the girls work on Blair and see what happens.”
FoL FoL FoL FoL FoL
What happened was Blair found herself all ready for bed and holding the twins hands after letting them into their Mom’s suite.
“Come on Blair, we know how to wake Mom without her going Kung Fu Panda on us.” Abby assured the blonde woman.
Blair wasn’t so sure about the girls plan. Fiona was the one who was supposed to take the girls to their Mom.
Zoe opened the door and stopped at the end of the large bed. Abby shut the door behind them, a night light shown from the bathroom just enough for the trio to make out the woman asleep in the bed.
The sight took Blair’s breath away. Zayne’s breasts pressed against her tank top that had ridden up to show her belly button and one long toned leg was sticking out from the covers showing gray sleep shorts. The outfit was simple yet sexy at the same time.
Abby reached out and grabbed her Mom’s big toe. “Mom can we sleep with you?”
Zoe spoke as Abby shook her toe again. “Surprise Mom, we came all the way to Washington DC to see you.” Her voice like her sisters was barely above a whisper.
Zayne stirred feeling her toe being pulled, something only her girls did. She woke enough to hear what they said. Cracking one eye open she found not only her girls dressed in their PJ’s at the end of her bed, but Blair as well. “Either I’m still dreaming or this is one of the best surprises I’ve ever had.” She mumbled just loud enough for them to hear.
“It’s a really good surprise Mom, because we are really here. Can we sleep with you tonight? We really missed you and this is a really big bed.” Abby begged sweetly, the twins both giving their Mom pleading looks.
“Come on you little devils. I missed you both, too.”
“Come on Blair there is enough room for you too, Mom won’t mind.” Zoe grabbed the woman’s hand startling her.
“Yeah Blair, it will be okay. You and Mom used to share a room all the time.” Abby said as she climbed into the middle of the bed as her Mom scooted over.
Zoe climbed in and moved into the middle next to her sister before patting the bed beside her. “You can sleep on this side and make sure I don’t fall off.”
Zayne smiled to herself, her girls were awesome. “Come on Blair it will be sorta like old times, but watch out the girls are snugglers and you may wake to find one of them half thrown over you using you as a teddy bear.”
The blonde woman looked at the three smiling faces in the bed and didn’t think that sounded too bad at all. Blair easily gave in climbing into the bed after the girls. Far be it from her to deny something she wanted to do so much.
Four happy ladies snuggled into bed together quickly falling into a deep slumber taking that first step on a road that could form a family.

Nat had went to the room she was sharing to check on Blair and the girls. She returned shortly, knocking on Fiona’s door, and was quickly let inside. “She and the girls aren’t in our room and she has changed out of the outfit she had on.”
Fiona smiled grabbing the last spare keycard to Zayne’s room. “Excellent, I will be right back.” The older woman also grabbed her phone as she went out the door. Fiona quietly let herself into the suite slipping the key card into her pocket. She moved with stealth to the closed door opening it enough to peek inside. The woman always wondered how she would feel if someday a woman joined her three girls, taking the place her Faith should have held. She would probably feel differently about anyone else, but somehow Blair fit with them. Blair was the woman Zayne loved before she ever met her Faith. However, seeing Blair and Zayne on the outside with her precious grandbabies held safe and secure between them felt right. Faith would be happy for them. She felt that in her heart. Quickly pulling out her phone she snapped a picture to add to the new digital album she was building. The grandmother prayed many more happy photos followed. With quick feet she left the suite making sure it was securely locked before heading back into her own room.
“Well what did those two girls manage to do?” Martin was the first to ask.
Fiona held up the picture for him to see. “Well those little rascals. They are dangerous.” He laughed.
Everyone else crowded around to see the photo of the four cuddled together fast asleep.
“Aww. That is so precious, but I agree with Martin, those girls are dangerous.” Natalie said gaining Tootie’s agreement.
“Yes, but Blair would not have stayed if Zayne hadn’t made it clear she wanted her there as well. If those three band together our Blair doesn’t stand a chance.” Mrs. Garret giggled which caused them all to laugh. They shortly happily parted for their own rooms and a good night’s rest.
