Joey walked up to the icehouse as Bessie walked out carrying Alex in his little carry seat (kind of like a mini car seat). "Ah Bessie it's time to open." Joey said noticing her locking the doors. Just then Jack walked up "I didn't think I was running that late." he said looking at them. "What’s going on?" "Bodie called." Bessie said quickly, "The restaurant he was head chief at in New York just went under. It was hard enough with him only being able to get down here on weekends. But we need the other income. Dad and I are driving out to get him," She looked at Joey, "Joey you have to watch Alex, there is barely enough room in the truck for Dad me and Bodie." Bessie said sounding almost frantic, as the truck pulled up driven by their father. He shut off the engine and stepped from the pickup truck, "Hi honey." he said softly to Joey. "Ok I'll watch Alex." Joey said to Bessie, "you and dad be careful." she added. And picked up Alex and his carry seat. "We will." Bessie said shortly and grabbed her bag from the sidewalk. "I'm sorry about this honey, I'd stay but Bessie doesn't want to drive into the city alone and I don't want her too either. Will you be alright?" Joey's Father asked and placed his hand on the side of her head in a loving father sort of way. "I'll be fine." she insisted, "And you two should get going you're not gonna make it back till morning as it is." Joey said and looked a Bessie and her father. "She's right we should get going. Are you ready?" He asked and looked at his other daughter. "All ready." Bessie said as they started towards the truck, she turned and looked back at Joey. "Oh there's a few bottles made up in the Fridge and you know where everything else is, and don't forget his diaper bag." she said looking at the sidewalk near Joey's feet and the diaper bag that sat there. "Would you get going already or you'll never get back." Joey said with a half laugh. As Bessie climbed in to the truck after their father and shut the door, the truck slowly pulled away leaving Joey standing there with Alex and Jack. Jack saw Joey fumbling as she bent down to get the diaper bag spilling it. "Here let me get It." he offered and bent down picking everything up and putting it back where it belonged. He stood up in front of her. "Here why don't I walk you home. Make it a little easier on ya." He said as they began to walk towards her house.
