“Well…Ellie…she likes to gather sticks at her favorite tree” Chloe said, then she looked up. “Her favorite tree…that’s it!” She stood up. “I know where Ellie is!” She said, as she and Austin began walking. They walked for a while before they came to Ellie’s favorite tree that had a bunch of sticks under it. “Ellie!!” Chloe exclaimed. Ellie turned her head and wagged her tail hard, running towards Chloe and licking her all over. “Oh I was so worried about you girl” Chloe said, kissing her head

Following Chloe to Ellie's favorite tree, they soon find her. He gives out a sigh of relief as Chloe hugs her tightly. Austin slowly gave Ellie a pet before he looks at his watch, seeing that it was getting late. "we have to get going. I need to get my bag ready for tomorrow.

"ok" Chloe said, as she grabbed Ellie's leash, and they walked back to the car. "Hop in Ellie" Chloe said. Ellie barked and jumped into the car, circling around until she fell asleep on the seat, her head on Lia's lap in the car seat. Lia giggled when Ellie put her head on her lap, she yawned as well and snuggled up with Po-Po, kicking her legs a bit until Austin started the truck and they headed back to the house. "do you want to stop and get dinner some where?" Chloe asked. "like maybe at a drive through?" she asked, as she looked at Lia in her car seat.

Placing his right hand on the center console as he drove, he finally looks at Chloe with a smile on his face that was seductive. "Makes it easier for the things I want to do to you tonight after I am done packing" Austin whispered as began to pull into a drive through to order pizza.

Chloe looked over at Austin and then at Ellie through the review mirror. "I still can't believe we almost lost Ellie today" Chloe whispered. "it was all my fault" She mumbled with a sad sigh. "I'm honestly not in the mood to try for baby number 2 tonight" Chloe admitted with another sigh as Austin ordered some pizza. "I've had Ellie since she was 8 weeks old...and if we lost her...."

"It's okay. We don't have too." Austin announced as he cursed in his mind after getting dinner. He then decided to stay quiet for the rest of the ride home. Once they got home and Lia inside, Austin set the pizza down on the table. "I'll be upstairs packing. Save me a few pieces," Austin announced as he headed upstairs.

Chloe watched Austin go and she sighed. "what's up?" Molly asked. "He wants to keep trying for baby number 2...but we lost Ellie at the park....and I told him I didn't feel up to it tonight" Chloe said. Molly nodded as she listened. "Oh my god! Is Ellie ok?" She asked. Chloe nodded. "yea, we found her, but I just don't want to try tonight" Chloe said. Molly nodded again. "yea, I understand that" she said, as she got Lia some pizza and began to cut it up

Once he has his things packed and ready to go for work tomorrow, Austin decides to turn in early. He shuts out the light and is soon asleep. The next morning, Austin wakes up with his stomach growling. But he just lays there looking up at the ceiling. He had forgotten to eat dinner last night. But he didn't care either way.

Chloe went to bed around 9, as Molly was finishing up some work in the basement. Chloe opened the door and sighed when she saw Austin asleep. She sat on the edge of the bed and put her hands over her eyes before getting into her pajamas for the night. She climbed in bed beside Austin, and tried putting her arm around him, but he tensed a bit when she did, so Chloe just went back over to her side and closed her eyes, falling asleep, waking up the next morning, and just laying there in bed as she thought about the day before

Austin was getting ready as Chloe woke up. He was just buttoning up his uniform top. He didn't say anything for a moment until he grabbed his belt off the bed "I figured you didn't want to touch me last night when you wrapped your arm around me last night. He was hoping that she would not take it as rude as he spoke. "You came in to wrap your arm around me and I knew you weren't in the mood."

Chloe looked over at Austin, thinking about what to say...but nothing came to mind. She rolled over in bed and she lay there, staring at the wall, as she swallowed, still unsure of what to say. "I didn't realize I had to be in the mood to lay next to you" Chloe mumbled, as she put her arm around Ellie.

"No, you don't," Austin said as he started to tie his tie after he tightened his belt. He looked at Chloe for a moment and the walked over to her side of the bed. He then placed a hand on her hip as he leaned up and kissed her. "I am sorry. But they way you touched me last night said you wanted me. But I remember you saying you weren't in the mood. He then leans up, pulling her into a deep kiss. "We still have two hours till I have to leave if you are in the mood. I don't mind being a few minutes late b

"I would say yes, but I'm still so tired. Lia was up for not three hours, but four" Chloe groaned. "I tried everything, but I couldn't get her back to sleep. Can you check on her?" Chloe asked, before she kissed him deeply as well and yawned. "I just..." she stopped, and closed her eyes. "need a few more hours of sleep, wake me up before you leave" Chloe mumbled to him as he kissed her head and she fell back to sleep, Lia on the other hand, began crying right as Chloe fell asleep

"But I leave in a few hours..." Austin announced as she went in Lia's room. Picking her up, he bounced her around in his arms as he gave her a teething toy. It's okay, daddy is here," he soothed her before sitting down in the rocking chair.

Lia continued to cry until Austin picked her up. She cried for a while longer before he handed her a teething ring. She started chewing on it happily and then looked at him. "O's?" she asked, as she chewed on the ring some more. "Dada" Lia said. "O's"
