"Okay," she said. "When we get up here we can turn into the corner and make sure that she is fine," she said. "As far as sides, rice perhaps fries or vegetable spring rolls." None of that sounded hard which she was glad for. "I think being on an island pasta also goes with anything that we eat, which is kind of like cheating but who does not love pasta here and there?"

"We could do rice and peas to go with it as well as spring rolls" David pondered. It would be a regional dish at least and he'd need to consult his cookbook to figure out the fine details. They could both work on it too if Ella didn't need a lot of attention once they got back. Knowing he did have an ancestor who had been here made him wonder just how many more could have gotten out this far. They most likely burnt in the Caribbean sun too. turning the corner there was a bench they could sit on and check on Ella. Peyton Coldstone

As they rounded the corner so she could check on Ella she took a seat. It was still alot going on to the point where she felt better because she did believe that getting out did help. Even at the end of the day she knew that people had to and that was always good. She took a seat on the bench and waited for David to sit down too as she grabbed Ella. "You know when i was pregnant this was the last thing I thought we would be doing but this person is the greatest. I guess I will be okay going back to work though if I come into your office crying you simply know why." David Lightfeather

Ella still cried a little bit; perhaps she was fighting her sleep or needed fed but there she was with her mother holding her. The other possibility was a nappy change but David got the bottle out first to try and eliminate one possibility. Showing her the bottle the crying continued but that didn't answer the question. This baby might need a drink of milk as he gave the bottle to Peyton. "Darling if you need to visit me do so. I'm sure Artemis and Lucas will want to help as well. Don't forget about Graysen and Decipher too. His little girl Diana got on well with Ella; so perhaps a playdate might be an idea. It'll also be adult time we all need as parents". He suggested the last thing as parents could also learn from each other and not have to worry about their baby girls all the time. It also didn't need to be complicated. Peyton Coldstone

She nodded and then she spoke. "I will I do not know I just get to thinking and I know that we are doing so well and we both love our work and I just want to make sure that you are okay too. If I have ever slighted you in that regard since having the baby then I have not meant to but we are both adjusting and trying to make sure we know and do what is best for Ella and I just thought I needed to bring that out too or point that out rather."

It turned out Ella was hungry as she went for the bottle and momma time. By now they were nearly done in getting all they needed here but it had been good go get out for a while. Peyton also had plenty to say. She was worried about him too. “We did great my love and you didn’t do what you thought you did. We can help each other out and I will be there if you need me” he promised seeing his firstborn with her mother. He’d keep being the doting father and babies really did change someone. It also changed your guy time and the shape your evenings took. Peyton Coldstone

She nodded assurance that they were on the same page was always good though she felt more confident than before it was few and far between that she would not change whom she was because she loved who that was especially now with being a mother. "So where do you stand or sit on more kids?" David Lightfeather

David did have thoughts on the issue that Peyton suggested. He didn't want Ella to be an only child but they both had to want a brother or sister to her. He looked back at Peyton and replied "firstly we both have to want another child but I think Ella would make a good big sister. We also don't have to hurry this my love and we can see how Ella grows up first". A sensible suggestion as they didn't have to rush anything but they would be better prepared if there was a next time. Having already had plenty of drama and sleepless nights before today David knew Ella liked listening to things. She didn't pay much attention to moving pictures on his tablet computer but she did notice bright colours. She actually liked audio books or was it just the sound of a voice? Peyton Coldstone

"I agree I just did not remember if we had discussed it or not, definitely will not be trying before next year but as long as we are on the same page about it then that is all that matters." She had a feeling they were going to have their hands full anyway with Ella especially since she seemed so attentive to others around her but it was good to know what your child liked at least she thought so.

Ella made more noises which signaled the end of the milk for now. Then making happy and contented noises she had a curious look round her. There was mommy and daddy for starters and she heard other things. Here clearly was a little explorer just like she'd been with Graysen. When she crawled she'd be into everything. "That sounds like enough of a gap for me. By then Ella will be crawling and she's so curious already. She'll also have grown a bit so what doesn't fit her eventually can be kept for her possible brother or sister" he replied giving her his finger to grab and play with. The tiny hand enclosed the finger tip to show the parental bond with their daughter. Peyton Coldstone

"I think we might be in for a little trouble when she does start to crawl. She is so curious already and the world is so big so that when it does happen we are going to have to run more around than we do now but honestly that is okay with me. I feel like it might just be what we need and that is always good." David Lightfeather

"She will certainly need watched closely" David replied with a smile. "Also a baby gate at the nursery door might slow her down a little" he mused. The birth of Ella did enlarge their world big time and he did have a suggestion. "How about a boat trip in a few weeks when she's more settled? We can keep her under control and there's a large boat that does sea tours and also has a restaurant and top deck. Some dinner and a trip from the harbour down the coastline would be relaxing as well" he suggested. Mostly for Peyton as even with baby there it would still be a date day. Even if they were both back at work when it happened it would still be good for them to get out. Peyton Coldstone

She was more adjusted to the island now than she was when she first got here and that also lead her to believe that she was also a little more well adjusted in her relationship with David. She certainly seen the small changes in him here and there that she liked so her hope was that he could see the same. "Yes I think that would be fun and plus it would allow Ella to see more of the land which I hope she likes." David Lightfeather

Ella did seem relaxed in her buggy as she was pushed around so being on a boat should in theory relax her further. As they got to know each other better he could see the changes in Peyton and the little person they were raising took elements from both of them. David loved Peyton more than ever and that transferred to Ella in turn. So he smiled and said "I'll book that in for four weeks from now. By then we'll both be ready for this and so will our daughter. She's probally already thinking of adventure". She had that curious look that as she moved back to mommy. She didn't look hungry anymore. Peyton Coldstone(new thread time?)
