“You’re quite the happy little family, Slate”, an older dark haired woman, who had an uncanny resemblance to Slate said.

“Mom?”, Slate said in disbelief while Callie shouted, “Grandma”.

Gisele looked in confusion. This was Slate’s mom? She was very beautiful and it showed where Slate had taken his features.

It was then that she noticed the girl, or rather, the woman behind her. She was dark haired with pretty violet eyes.

“Who is this?”, Slate’s mother, Whitney asked Slate frostily after hugging Callie warmly.

Gisele started answering, but Slate beat her to it.

“Mom, this is my, uh… Callie’s babysitter”, Slate said.

Gisele was a little disappointed when she heard babysitter then she realized that, that was exactly what she was! A few kisses exchanged here and there did not make them a couple. Jeez! What was she thinking.

“Babysitter, hmm? Anyways, Slate come with me, and you too Jenny”, Whitney said without even sparing a glance in Gisele’s direction.

Jenny trailed behind them to Slate’s office leaving Callie and Gisele alone.

“Come on, sweetie, let’s go to your room”, Gisele said softly.

Callie didn’t argue and they went calmly upstairs to Callie’s room.

“Gigi, are you mad at me?”, Callie asked, her lower lip trembling.

“Oh, God, of course not honey. Why would you think that?”

“You didn’t talk to me”, she replied.
