So Sammy and I went to see Toby, because he's my legal Dad therefore he's Sammy's legal Grandad and all that jazz, ya know, (not that he'd appreciate me saying it that way, but there's not much else that he can do about it to be honest with you here), as it was something to do, plus I love Toby here, (I mean he's my Dad here).

Anyway we had arrived at Toby's, (as you do), the weather was getting better, (not that it was hard as it was like the end of winter here), Toby was waiting for us to arrive, (I think that's just him being my Dad though, ya know), and so we got out of the car, (well eventually we did as I had to get all the baby shit that was needed from the car), (yes, babies need a lot of shit, also you will need spare clothes as that's just the nature of being a parent).

"S'up Grandpa"
"I'm not that old Clara"
"Yeah I know that you're not old but you're Sammy's Grandpa Toby"
"Yeah well when you're only 3 years older than your adopted daughter, then you'll turn out to be a very young and hip Grandpa"
"(Snorts), Whatever helps you sleep at night Daddyo"

Toby just rolled his eyes and I gave him Sammy to hold, (as he's her Grandpa and he absolutely adores her), we continued to talk, (as you do when you chat with family though), and it just felt really cosy to me, (though that could've just been me here Darling).

"So what's new with you then Little Miss?"
"Nothing much to be honest with you here Daddyo, Sammy is mostly sleeping through the night but she's not a fan of her naps at all"
"(Snorts), She's just like her Mother then?"
"Oh fuck off Toby"
"I fucking live here Clara"
"I do know that Grandpa, I just like messing with you though"
"Well you're successful at that, but you did learn from the best here"
"That is true I guess Grandpa"

Toby did not look too impressed about that comment to be honest with you here, (though he was an actual Grandpa though, as he was my illegally legal Dad and I'm a Mum now), but he still offered me a cuppa, as he's my Dad, (he basically raised me even though he was a kid himself).

"I'll go make you a cuppa, even if you're a little shit sometimes Clara"
"Thank you Toby, I love you"
"(Snorts), I love you too Kiddo"

Anyway Toby and I had our tea, as you do, (Toby does drink coffee sometimes but he does prefer a cup of tea), Sammy was quite content to just lay in Toby's arms, I get it though, as Toby's a secret, (well actually not so secret), softie here, (though he doesn't show that side of him to many people so he could still be a secret softie here).

"You look cute"
"I do not look cute at all you little shit, your daughter however is adorable as fuck"
"I know she is, she has my genetics here Grandpa"
"That seems a bit big headed of you here Kiddo"
"Oh fuck off Daddyo"
"But I live here though Clara"
"You know what I meant here though Toby"
"You're right, I do, but still"
"No no, there is no 'but still' Mister"

It was nice to be able to just sit down and relax a bit and it was also nice to see Toby hold Sammy, (though that could've been the Mum in me to be honest with you here), (that or it was somehow soothing for the child in me that wanted a proper family, who knows though), (it's probably the latter of those options).

"So how's work?"
"(Snorts), It's work, so nothing spectacular to be honest"
"(Snorts), At least it's not too stressful then"
"Yeah well I'm the boss, so that's probably why that's the case"
"True"
"Do you want Sammy back?, I don't wanna hog her-"
"She seems to be comfortable where she is, unless you've had enough cuddles-"
"There's no such thing"
"Good, glad to hear it then"
"Piss off"
"Nah thanks"

I just started giggling, (yeah, full on giggling), I dunno why that was but I just did, Toby did look confused about it for like half a second, but then he joined in with the giggling, (again, I can't remember what was so fucking hilarious, but I digress).

After that giggle fest, well it was back to drinking our cuppas and talking about anything and everything, (though I don't know what else we had to talk about as we had talked about everything we could have done), (that didn't mean that I was bored though, as I wasn't).
