Melissa

Today Caity and Grant get to take Melinda home, and as godmother, I was going to help them for a short while. Caity's parent had to leave early, while Grant's parents are still in the city, but are allowing them to learn on their own.

"Where're the blankets?" Caity asked.

"Umm..." I pointed to her hands.

"How...?" She sighs and places the blankets into her duffel bags.

"Okay, you grab Melinda, I'll pack the rest of your bags" I said. She walked over to the bassinet and picked up Melinda.

"Okay, I have the car warming up and finally got her car seat from my dad" Grant said. "Ready?"

"Ready" She smiles. She put Melinda in her car seat, both of them working to tie her in, struggling. "They should make these things easier"

"Hey, everything okay?" Stephen came in, grabbing the bags.

"Yea, just buckling her in" Grant said.

"Okay, I'll bring the bags out" Stephen said.

"Here, there's a trick to it" I said, I pointed at the buckle, "Try pressing that and push them together"

"Thanks" Caity said, "Okay, let's go"

We made our way out of the hospital. Grant holding Caity's hand and carrying the car seat, Melinda fast asleep under a pretty blanket.

"Hey, what are you guys doing for Stephen's birthday?" Grant asked.

"Just a dinner in Whiterock" I said, "He doesn't want anything major"

"We should have a dinner after I heal up" Caity said.

"That's sounds great"

Stephen, Tala, Katie C, Scott, John, and I stood as Grant prepared to change Melinda's diaper for the first time. "10 bucks says he messes up 1 step in" John said.

"Thank you for the support, guys" Grant looks at us.

"Good luck" Tala smiled.

"You guys are weird..." Caity walked into the living room, "Your Mom is going to bring the pups back tonight"

"Okay" Grant said, he looked down at Melinda who was just staring at her dad. "Let's change that diaper..."
