eating feelings is a must - Madison

Plans were laid but it looked like they wouldn't have to dine on the tour ship after all. They didn't have to book a table anyway but they could drink mocktails and watch the sea go by for the next few hours after or during the pretzels and fried snickers.

Cami was clearly pregnant again and showing and Madison was happy to just be an auntie. She was a dog momma too as Check was in the apartment along with fostering Eric. He was no trouble in fact.

She entered the dock area wearing a nice enough burgundy top and skirt combo that looked like a mid length dress and a straw sunhat with wedge sandals. "Hey Cami. I see you started without me" she chuckled but they did have a little time until they were able to board the tour boat. A fried snickers looked interesting at least. Then she asked the vendor nicely for one as well.

Cami did want a boat meal after all. Snacks were part of life but Madison did keep them at a minimum; had she been pregnant it would have been a different story but she doubted that would ever be the case. Between ten nephews and nieces and the dogs Mallory planned to adopt she wouldn't stand a chance.

And add in work. At least today; this evening looked like it would be fairly drama free.

"You don't need to book a table but I doubt we'll have a problem getting one. Yeah the beach trip did go rather pear shaped and MaKayla did seem to get mad at you once you mentioned my brother turning blue. I accept your apology and she owes me one too. I just don't know how things didn't got worse afterwards" she replied softly.

Then they were on about the harem. It was a freaking mess but it had to work for the sake of the babies and toddlers. "Yes there will be ten children eventually. It is a harem; there's no point trying to call it anything else but if the other baby mommas play nice there is a chance this can work. And my brother; how can he talk about a big wedding while all that is going on? I don't get that" she added shaking her head now. At least her life was simple even with loving Mallory and being a dog momma.

"I think you might have to cut his cannon off even with seeing evidence that he's gotten the snip. That just might save his life". Madison laughed a little now. This was all beyond ridiculous by now. "Ten does sound correct by my reckoning. I met Carters twins and Mia Reid the other day. Those twins can do magic you know and Mia is just so cute".

So how could he be stopped? Or distracted. She had an idea. "We could do with a distraction. A wedding like that will be too mad to deal with. We both talk to him in that case and I'll bring the baseball bat. Then if things settle down in a year or two when Star and Skylar can be your flower girls then get married properly. Its too much even for mom and dad to properly process as well. Given time his plan could work but not now".

Time was the key but right now they could have some fun.

So judging by what Cami was saying Taylor was away with the harem. Perhaps it was some kind of meeting but who really knew with her brother?

"He really needs to slow down. I'll need the bat to show him I'm serious though when he gets tied up but it sounds like its going to have to wait a bit" Madison mused looking thoughtful. She was still thinking clearly even with all the chaos round her.

Cami did sound happier talking about tying Taylor up but sad when it came to Mia. At least her parents were getting time to sightsee and get their first proper holiday in ages.

"You've got that right. Life is messy right now. Mom & Dad being here is the only normal part of what's going on. They want to understand and help but need time to process what is happening.

At least they can relax a bit and sight see. They are in business too and they certainly needed a holiday. They want to come over for Christmas too and it would be good to call over every six months after that. I took mom to the mall once they got here and they do seem to be having fun."

Cami was explaining that Taylor wasn’t exactly helping and a pregnant woman didn’t need to carry that mess around with them. He should be helping her rather than being a man child. She shook her head but at least Cami had her and this might well be her last big field trip before two more boys arrived in the world.

“Mallory is doing well. Wedding planning is keeping her busy during the day and I keep her busy at night; in a good way” Madison replied with a laugh and smile. Men didn’t do it for her and she loved her Mallory so much. “They do ugly Christmas sweaters anyway. So how could my love top that?” she posed as the vendor came back with the order of the fried snicker bars. You really could batter anything if you put your mind to it.

“Well on that count Mallory makes it look easy. I’d probably put two people who hated each other together at the same table and get to see the fight” Madison softly said. Then she gave Cami a hug before she passed her a battered snicker to munch on. She the keeper of the hot chocolate snack for now.

“You’re right about love and sex not being the same thing. Love happens all day long and sex is when you get horny and I want to make Mallory really feel good. And she felts that way with me.

Also we are married in all but name. It will happen naturally in time when we go to the courthouse and make it official” she replied.

“Was he just trying to kick a field goal?” she posed shaking her head. Cami went blue and back to normal again and she added “I do get angry and frustrated but there is time even I vent. A 6am gym trip does seem to deal with most of it. I just need longer sessions to deal with what my brother has been up to. Otherwise he’d be seeing first hand what I did to the mobots with my lovers help. I just wouldn’t be kicking him in the face”.

She knew she couldn’t get pregnant with Mallory unless they found an external way but there was a big mess to clear up first before they could even talk about that. Probably years down the line.

Madison considered the situation and having marriage papers would make their lives easier. If one of them did die the other wouldn't have to go through all those hurdles later on and she felt that was better. She wasn't sure what she could do without Mallory in her life either.

"Cami if you need help pushing the other buggy let me know" she said. Taking care of her nieces and nephews was important to her and mattered more than her own possible children did. "They might look different but they are part of my family and always will be" she happily replied being the proud auntie and a good friend of Cami.

Then she heard that boarding was about to begin and she had the tickets for the both of them. "At least you can munch on these before we order dinner" she added handing the box to Cami. So onto the boat they went and she found them a seat near the a window.

Madison knew what Mallory did for her. She stopped her getting too burdened and she was her rock. Without that woman she probably wouldn’t have made a life here and she knew it. So also heard what Cami vented and then added about hurting a bit. Was that because of the babies kicking?

MaKayla was mentioned and then Emilia. Cami clearly needed a hug and love and she started with the hug. “Yeah Mallory does really take care of me. And you can vent it all out on me. You’ve a lot going on girl” she softly said. She could take it on. She’d always been this athletic figure but had known children like Cami growing up. They had hurt in high school like she had. She had old scars from her childhood too.

“Hurting? Are the babies still trying to play football” she tenderly addded. She could feel the boat moving out and heading east which meant they could order their mocktails.
