Finding Charlie Rose

Sam paid for lunch for them all and then he and his brothers headed for the water with Charlie. Watson's Bay was flat, there were no waves unless a ferry docked at the wharf. Sally had brought all her sons here and they would swim then get fish and chips and eat in the park. She loved the area as you saw the harbour bridge and it was beautiful with the national park behind the bay. Byron rolled his pants up and took off Charlie's dress. She put her feet in the water "Cold" she laughed out. Byron splashed his sister causing her to giggle and try to run away only to fall face-first into the water. Byron picked his sister up who was smiling and put her on her feet. "Peas Bee," she told her brother.

Charlie continued to splash around in the water before a ferry came in to dock. "Look Charlie, a ferry" Byron told his sister. "Where?" Charlie asked looking around for the fairy. "There," Byron said pointing to the ferry. "No silly that boat" Charlie giggled. Byron laughed "That's a ferry boat" he told his sister. "Charlie go ferry boat?" She asked. "Not today babes" Liam said before ushering Byron and Charlie out of the water. It was time to go.

"Charlie Park?" She asked Liam. "Maybe another time babes it's getting late and you will get cold" Liam told his sister. Liam helped dry his sister with a shirt that was in Sam's car before taking off her wet underwear and putting her dress back on. "Silly Lee Lee, Charlie need undies" Charlie told her brother. "We will get some dry ones when we get home baby girl" Sam told his sister who nodded her head. Liam buckled Charlie in her seat and they took off home with their uncle and cousins following behind.

"Ok missy it's time for a bath for you and then you can play with Damien and Shane" Uncle John told Charlie. "Otay" she replied. John took his niece upstairs to bathe her and wash her hair. John dressed Charlie in her pjs even if it wasn't bedtime and they headed downstairs to see all the boys in casual clothes now.

Charlie walked over to Shane climbing on his lap "You right gorgeous?" He asked Charlie to which she nodded snuggling into his chest with her worm. "Oh my gosh she is so bloody cute" he squealed when she smelt his chest and sighed resting her cheek just over his heartbeat. "She likes to sleep on someone's chest otherwise none of us get sleep. She usually likes skin to skin" Oliver told his cousins while smiling at his sister who had pressed the stomach of her worm and was sucking her thumb falling asleep. "Oh my gosh I need to show Taylor he would absolutely adore her" Shane told them all. "Who is Taylor?" Sam asked smirking. He just outed himself and Sam was going to enjoy this. "Ah umm, you see. He umm he is my boyfriend" Shane rushed out. "When do we get to meet him?" John asked his son. "What? You aren't upset?" Shane asked. "No you are my son, I am happy if you are happy" John replied patting Shane on the shoulder.

About half an hour later it was decided that Shane was going to invite his boyfriend to Christmas. Shane decided to FaceTime Taylor now so he could see how cute Charlie was sleeping on his chest. Taylor answered the call quickly "Hey babe" Shane said. "Hey, hunny. How was the funeral today?" Taylor asked. "It was ok, there was a scene with my uncle and his father but it sorted itself out" Shane replied. Taylor couldn't see Charlie on Shane's chest as Shane had the phone so all Taylor could see was his face.

"And how is Charlie?" Taylor asked. "Oh, you know," Shane said before lowering the phone. "Oh my god, she is precious look at how tiny she is. Hunny I'm jealous, I need to cuddle up to her" Taylor rushed out. "Babe, how about you come for Christmas?" Shane asked. "No no no, your dad is there it's fine" Taylor replied.

John popped his head on the screen looking at Taylor. "I'm offended my son's boyfriend doesn't want to meet me but he wants to steal my niece," John said causing Taylor to pale "No that's not what I meant" Taylor rushed out causing John to laugh along with Shane the other boys who were sitting around listening to the conversation.

"Your dad is going to hate me now," Taylor said. "I will only hate you if you don't come for Christmas" John sang out. "Yeh that goes for all of us" Sam called out. "So?" Shane asked Taylor. "I'm coming for Christmas?" Taylor questioned while smiling. Shane nodded his head and Taylor squealed. "I bags holding Charlie while she sleeps" Taylor called out making everyone laugh "Yeah love you too babe" Shane said laughing. They organised for Taylor to catch the train down on the 21st of December and he would drive back with Shane and Damien before the new year.

The boys ordered pizza not bothering to wake Charlie for dinner as they had a late lunch. They talked and joked about making a roster system for who Charlie would sleep with. They all adored her and loved her sleeping on their chest. They had set up her room with a bed but Charlie never slept well when she was in her own bed and they would often find her crying on the stairs with her worm. Everyone slept better when Charlie slept with one of them and none of them worried about it knowing she would soon not want to sleep with her brothers.

Charlie would be sleeping with Shane tonight as there was no way he was going to put her down in case she woke up. He took her up to his bed and gently got into bed with all the boys laughing at him trying not to wake Charlie but hoping he did so she would sleep with one of them.
