Rachel: "Time to get up!"

rachel-learyHe grunted, turning over. “No way…it’s the weekend,”

He nodded his head, making mental notes. So maybe a cafe? he thought himself. Chaya gurgled a response, wiggling.

[rachel-leary]

Rachel chuckled as she scooped up the rest of the food, finishing her feeding with Chaya. Once done, she quickly cleaned up and wiped down the little girl. “There we go, all set to go now.” She turned to Clifford with Chaya in her arms. “Ready?”

[clifford-oskin-blog]

He finished his coffee and stood,smiling. “Yup, are you?”

[rachel-leary]

"Yes I am." She went over to the door to grab a bag she had previously set up for Chaya, smiling at Clifford. "Leeet’s go."

[clifford-oskin-blog]

He chuckled and placed their mugs in the sink. “Alright, I’m coming..” meeting them by the door he picked up Chaya’s baby bag as he grabbed his keys. “We’re going to have fun today,” Clifford mused, kissing both of their cheeks, earning giggles from Chaya.

[rachel-leary]

"I sure hope so..." She smiled at Clifford, heading out the door. She had arranged for a carriage to come pick them up since they had Chaya with them, only a short ride away from her moms house.

"You think so?" He chuckled nervously before kissing her cheek back. "I don’t want to be under or overdressed ."

[rachel-leary]

"Oh, no you’re perfect. Not too casual, but not so uptight my mom will think I’m dating a prince." She chuckled, sitting down so she could feed Chaya quickly.

[clifford-oskin-blog]

He smiled and filled two mugs with coffee, adding sugar and cream to both. Chaya clapped her hands together when she saw her food and Rachel, giggling gleefully.

[rachel-leary]

Rachel made a little ‘whoosh’ noise as she brought a spoon of food up to Chaya, trying to make it fun for the little girl. She looked over when Clifford got her some coffee, gladly taking it. “Ah, thanks. I need this.”

[clifford-oskin-blog]

Chaya squealed in joy, enjoying her food. Sitting across from her, Clifford chuckled. “It’s no problem…I’m making toast as we speak,” he smiled and took her free hand in his, squeezing her hand gently.

[rachel-leary]

"Oh goodie." She smiled, pushing another spoonful into Chaya’s mouth. "I’m starved."

[clifford-oskin-blog]

Chaya clapped her hands, smiling in joy. “Me too,” Clifford mused, sipping his coffee. “So what does your mom like to eat?”

[rachel-leary]

"Oh she likes baked goods...nothing too sweet anymore. She can't stomach it too much any more." She smiled as she continued to feed Chaya. She already had eaten half of the good. "Such a hungry little girl..."

Chaya stirred awake, whining in protest until she saw that is was Rachel who was there. Reaching up to her, she cooed in delight.

[rachel-leary]

The red head smiled as she lifted the little girl up, cradling in her arms. “Are you ready to put on your pretty little dress I got you? Huh?” Rachel gave Chaya a few kisses before taking her to her changing table to get her all fresh.

[clifford-oskin-blog]

She gurgled and wiggled, giggling at Rachel’s kisses. After she was changed, Chaya babbled on, sucking on her knuckles.

[rachel-leary]

Rachel turned to pull out the dress she had specifically picked for this day, bringing it to her changing table with a smile. “Here we go. Now you’re going to look like a beautiful little princess.” She began to change the little girl.

[clifford-oskin-blog]

She cooed, watching Rachel peacefully before wanting food. Whining, she began to fuss. “Mumma..” Chaya huffed, her cheeks flushing red.

[rachel-leary]

"Oh now don’t give me that…" Rachel slid on her dress, buttoning up the little girl before picking her up. "Alright, now we can get you something to eat~"

[clifford-oskin-blog]

In the kitchen, Clifford was practicing what he would say to Rachel’s mom. Which was the problem, because he didn’t know what to say. Sighing, he rubbed the back of his neck.

[rachel-leary]

Rachel came into the kitchen, smiling as she passed Clifford. "You're looking really nice, honey." She gave him a kiss before going to pull out some mashed peas from the fridge to feed Chaya.

[rachel-leary]

Rachel sighed, rubbing her cheek a little. “Come on Clifford. We told my mother we’d see her today…Remember?” She sat down next to him, putting her arms around him. “I’d rather be sleeping too….”

[clifford-oskin-blog]

Sighing he turned to face Rachel and smiled a sleepy smile. “Well..maybe we can take a nap when we get home?” He asked.

[rachel-leary]

She smiled at the thought, giving a little nod. “That would be a very nice treat after going through this luncheon with mom….” Rachel really didn’t want to do this, but she promised that she and Clifford would come by…

[clifford-oskin-blog]

"I’m sure we’re going to have a good time.." He said, reaching up to her face. "I hope she likes Chaya and me," Clifford chuckled.

[rachel-leary]

"I’m sure she’ll love Chaya. You….you might have to win her over." Rachel giggled, leaning forward to kiss him.

[clifford-oskin-blog]

"Sounds fair," he laughed before kissing her back. "Well then…I suppose I should get dressed," he hummed.

[rachel-leary]

"I guess so, huh?" Rachel pulled back, though she wished she didn’t have to. At least the visit wasn’t going to be too long. "I’ll go get Chaya ready while you do."

[clifford-oskin-blog]

"Alright," he mused, sitting up. Clifford didn’t mind meeting Rachel’s mom. In fact, he was excited to see her. He wanted to be on good terms with her mother.

[rachel-leary]

Rachel walked out of his room and down the hall to see Chaya. "Come on, darling. We have to get you up and ready to meet my mom...that's your grandma, I guess." She chuckled to herself as she leaned over the crib to wake the sleeping girl.

[clifford-oskin-blog]

Rachel was finishing putting a few decorations around his place, making sure everything looked pretty for when he came home. She just wanted to make this Christmas special, since it was their first together. She even dragged in a small tree to put in the corner. "Ah. There we go. Everything is beautiful now."

rachel-leary

Sneaking up behind Rachel, Clifford couldn’t help but wrap his arms around her. "Not as beautiful as you, of course."

[clifford-oskin-blog]

-

Chaya giggled as she was bounced, babbling along to Rachel’s song.

[rachel-leary]

"Oh you like that song, don’t you?" Rachel smiled and chuckled. "Then how about this song? Jack loved this song when he was your age…" She started off on a new rhyme, lightly singing it to the little girl.

[clifford-oskin-blog]

Chaya listened intently, sucking on her knuckles as Rachel sang to her.

[rachel-leary]

It was a bit of a short song, so Rachel finished quite soon after. She smiled, pulling Chaya up to give her a kiss. “Did you like that? I can sing it to you again.”

[clifford-oskin-blog]

Chaya nodded her head the best she could,wiggling in delight.

[rachel-leary]

"Okay then." She smiled, singing the rhyme once more. Rachel felt a little bittersweet though, remembering when she had Jack and singing to him. He always loved it when she did so. She was so scared to hold him back then, definitely not ready to be a mother at the time. Holding Chaya a little closer, she wished that she could have her son back.
