Anne groaned to herself as she stood in front of the mirror in her bedroom the next day. The art class started in an hour and she hadn't even decided on a damn thing to wear. Everything she had was just too bland. Too bland and too momish. Shaking her head she turned and left the room heading down to Zoe's room.

Knocking on the door as she opened it she looked at her sister who turned around on the bed, giving her a look. Blushing Anne looked down unable to meet Zoe's gaze. "C..can I borrow one of your outfits?" she asked stuttering slightly on her first word.

"You want to borrow one of my outfits?" Zoe asked as she stood from her bed and pulled Anne into the room closing the door behind her older sister. "You really want to borrow one of my outfits?" she asked wanting to make sure for certain that she had heard Anne right.

"I do," Anne confirmed as she felt her cheeks heat up more.

Zoe shook her head before walking to her closet and throwing it open. "What kind of outfit? Laid back or flirty?" she asked as she turned to face her sister and raised an eyebrow. "I am going to go with flirty because I think you want to impress a certain someone named Kobe Coleman."

Anne looked away from Zoe at her accusation of her wanting to impress him, "I don't want to impress him," she lied. A part of her did want to impress him and have him looking at her again. It kind of did still flatter her that she could turn guy's heads beside her husband.

"Don't lie to me," Zoe replied before pulling out a pink little sundress that had ruffles at the bottom. "This will get him to look at all the right places," she said before handing her sister the dress. "And here are some cute shoes to match," she said before bending down and grabbing a pair of white flip flips with rhinestones on them. "Maybe put up your hair too and put on some make-up."

Listening to Zoe, Anne felt her heart hammer in her chest. Put her hair up and make-up on. She hadn't put her hair up in any fancy way since marrying Tristan and she swore the last time she had worn make up had been the night she had gotten pregnant with Carl. She half suspected that was the reason Tristan hadn't been able to keep his hands off her.

"Right hair up and make-up on," Anne nodded as she turned to open the door and leave the room. Heading to the room she now occupied she knew she'd have to do all of this quickly. But she was good at quick that was how it felt she had been her whole life. She was quick and she wasn't new to this. She could do this. She could turn Kobe's head the same way she had turned heads before Tristan. It would just take her some time to get back on the bicycle again and remember how to ride it.

Watching Anne leave Zoe just shook her head before laughing softly, "She is looking for trouble," she muttered to herself before also leaving her room and heading downstairs.

"Aunt Zoey," John exclaimed as he ran over to his aunt when she came downstairs. "Is mommy ready to leave? I have something I want her to give to daddy," he said before producing a drawing from behind his back.

Zoe gave her nephew a smile before taking the drawing from him, "Not yet buddy but once she gets dressed she will be," she told him before looking over the drawing. "What is this buddy?"

"Our family," John answered as he pointed to the figures, "That's daddy and mommy and that's me and Carl."

"But whose the other person?" Zoe asked pointing to the figure beside Carl.

John grinned when his Aunt Zoey asked about that, "That's the baby sister I want mommy to have," he said as he locked eyes with his aunt. "Do you think mommy and daddy will give me a baby sister soon?"
