Little Beth, now four years old, was curled up inside one arm and little John, now three years old, was curled up inside the other. All three of them ...were asleep. Ling and Kelly stood at the door watching them. Ling whispered, “It’s hard to be a mother when the fathers spend all their time with the kids.”Kelly giggled, “Yes, it is. Still, I can’t believe how much Ed and John enjoy them.”“So how do we wake him without waking the kids?”“We’ll take the kids to their room and put them to bed. "Ugh, humans..." the Blob says in mild disgust. "Such stupid beings. Can't even keep a single thought in your head for more than a moment. Okay, I will go through this one more time. But if you don't get it through your squishy brain this time, I swear I will just put you back in the path of that truck!"The Blob is obviously very annoyed, although impossible to tell by looking at it. It's literally just a blob of...well...something blobbly and glowing. Not sure what. Has no face, one arm and. I walked back into the living room with four beers in my hand. Josh, Carly and Emily were sitting on the couch. I joined them passing out the beers. The four of us continued some small talk for awhile. I couldn't tell if Emily was getting tired or if she was acting like it. Hopefully they didn't have plans of returning home this evening. "I'm getting tired." Josh yawned."So am I." Carly agreed.With that, Josh and Carly got up and headed for his bedroom. Looks like they won't be leaving. When. He was going to miss her, maybe he had read her all wrong, maybe all she felt for him was just friendship. Oh well he thought if a friend is all I can have her as it’s better than nothing. ‘So when do you plan on going home?’ he asked. ‘Next week probably, don’t look so sad, we’ll still see each other at the pub and we can catch up now they we actually talk to each other.’ It’s working thought Lisa he’ll have no idea. When they got home Lisa ran upstairs saying she had to call Jess and tell her.
