Sunday morning

Darcie was surprised when she met her family in church this morning. Everyone was happy, not worn out from having Gabe and Tate with them for four days. She thought Tate would miss her and Amelia so much someone would have to bring him back to the ranch. Instead, her son was holding Gabe’s hand, hopping up and down as they approached the pew where Darcie sat waiting for them.

“Momma!” Tate yelled as he let go of Gabe’s hand and crawled into her lap while she re-settled Amelia to be able to hold both of them in her arms. Oh, how she had missed her son, but it looked like he did fine staying with her family.

“Did you have a good time with Grandpa and Grandma?”

“Yep.”

“What did you do this week in town?”

“Me ‘n brother played with doggy. Cat ran away,” Tate looked up at her, seriously stating his last thought, but she was still on his first. Me and brother?

Darcie expected Gabe to sit in their pew, but he walked up the aisle and crowded in with the Reagan boys. Looks like Gabe felt comfortable sitting with friends now instead of family.

Darcie narrowed her eyes when Millie slid in next to her and automatically reached for Amelia. Darcie held both her children a little tighter, wanting some answers first. “What did you do to Tate and Gabe this week? Why are they now brothers?” she hissed at her sister.

“I don’t know. I’m guessing Gabe misses his sister, and Tate realizes it is fun to have a big brother. Tate knows other children in church who have older brothers, so it was natural he wants one, too.” Millie shrugged her shoulders, but Darcie was sure there was more to it than that.

Flora and her father moved into the pew from the other side and sat down beside Darcie.

“Hello, Amelia. Grandma missed you this week,” Flora sweet talked to the baby, while holding out her hands, waiting for Amelia to change laps.

“Hello, Flora. Thank for your taking care of Tate…and Gabe these last few days. Any problems?” Darcie hinted. Surely it wasn’t peaceful the whole time the children stayed at the boarding house.

“Your father set the rules the first hour and there were no major problems, other than what a normal two-year-old can cause,” Flora smiled down at Amelia while she talked. “Ennis has handled so many situations in his career as a policeman—and as a father—that nothing fazes him.”

Darcie leaned forward to talk to her father. “I need to know what you did to control fights so I can use the same tactic on Tate and Amelia,” she whispered so the people around then didn’t hear her.

“Firm voice, firm hand. But only go that route after you let them try to solve the problem between themselves first.” Her father said it like it was the most logical thing in the world and why didn’t she know that?

Tate gave Amelia a kiss when he first crawled in Darcie’s lap, but then shoved her toward Flora when the older lady put her hands out to Amelia.
