Erica nodded, "You know... I was crying a lot in the beginning, but now I seem to be laughing a lot more lately... & I know I'm guaranteed at least a laugh when you're around," she smiled, nudging him slightly, letting him know she might have to take him up on his offer.
She then smiled. "Bianca is well... back from her trip to Paris now, & Greenlee seems to be well... I have been so busy, though, that I haven't been able to talk to Kendall, although I'm sure if she needed anything, she would hunt me down," Erica said with a grin. "And Lily, my darling Lily, has been busy finishing school up for the semester & working... & she emailed Reggie & he's still doing very well at school. I think she mentioned he was taking a summer class or two, so we might not see him this summer," she said almost sadly. She missed that kid.
"How about Dixie? The twins? Kathy? Jackson told me Krystal just got back... have you seen Jenny yet?" she asked, hoping that Krystal would let Tad see the little girl.

Hearing about the Montgomery Clan brought a smile to his face. Up until Erica said they might not get a chance to see Reggie this coming summer. “Wasn’t there a time when summer was the most important season of the year for kids in school?” He asked teasingly. He know when he was coming up he couldn’t wait to get a summer break. Shuddered at the thought of school and summer in the same sentences. “Tell Reggie he needs to come back home for at least a little while. Especially to meet this little man here.” Tad stood and moved over to pick up his Godson when he heard him whimper.
“Whoa!” Tad teased widening his eyes like his. He reclaimed his spot on the couch and propped him on his lap a bit. Tad held his hand out and Colton just stared at it before laughing. “Am I that funny looking?” he teased.
Thaddeus looked up and shrugged his shoulders. “Other than the fact she comes home pretty much dragging, she’s doing pretty good. I think though I need to talk to Angela about all this work she’s giving her.” He was partly joking. He wasn’t sure if the extra load Dixie had suddenly picked up was something Angie had a hand in, or if Dixie had done it herself. Dixie was known for picking up extra work when she didn’t need to.
“The twins and Kathy, they’re great! Kathy is definitely hyped up about the summer time. She keeps mentioning about this cheer camp thing… eh, I don’t know about that.” He still wasn’t comfortable with it, but what could he do.
Krystal and Jenny… “Uh… well I haven’t really gotten a chance to. But I will soon. I would like to take Jenny for a weekend and spend some quality time with her, it’s been awhile and I think we’re due for some father/daughter bonding. Don’t you think?”

Erica nodded, "I'd love him to come home & meet both of them! I can't believe he hasn't been home yet!" she said, shaking her head. "But, his education is so important... he is so dedicated & I so admire that," she nodded, knowing he was doing what he had to do, even if it was hard for his step-mother to be without him for so long.
Erica laughed at the baby talk Tad was giving Colton. She knew they were going to be life-long friends; Colton adored his Godfather almost as much as Tad adored the baby. She then nodded, "Dixie's such a wonderful person; I'm sure she'll get through this! She's wonderful company at the hospital, you know?"
When she heard the words "cheer" & "camp" come out of Tad's mouth, she held back a chuckle. "You know, Tad, I'll be it might be good for her... maybe she'll love it & go on to get you free tickets to the Superbowl one day, or maybe she'll decide now that she doesn't like it, & you'll never have to worry about her being a cheerleader again," she shrugged, giving him a small smile.
"Really? I can't believe Krystal hasn't gotten her to you sooner! I... she's working for Jack, now, so I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you took her for a while," she said, wondering why in the world Krystal had to make everyone's life so difficult. She hadn't seen the redhead yet, but she was sure that she would in time. However, if she kept working late nights with Jack & didn't bring Jenny to see her father soon, she would have a few choice words for the woman.

“Well I’m not saying she isn’t. I just wish she would take a little break. Even if it’s just for a day.” Once the words had been said Tad started thinking he sounded a lot like Dixie. There was a time when she said those exact words about him and then later to him. It was like their roles had just suddenly reversed. Shaking his head at the thought he looked back up at Erica and rolled his eyes. “I would prefer to get the Superbowl tickets another way,” he scoffed. He would be lying if he said it hadn’t crossed his mind but then he thought about his daughter out there on the field dancing in those little skimpy No! He thought.
When Erica said that she might not want to do it again, he shook his head and chuckled. She hung around with Angie a lot because she spoke those same words to him right after his daughter became a cheerleader. “I’m still waiting for that day. Waiting for the day she comes to me and say she wants to play soccer… That I certainly am looking for,” he said with a smirk.
“Hey, relax,” Tad said with a chuckle placing his hand on Erica’s shoulder. Maybe it was his eyes playing a trick but he could have sworn Erica looked like she was about jump up and go after Krystal herself. “It’s alright, really. I’ve been quite busy myself and I would really hate for Jenny to come with me and we have to cut our day short. Don’t worry, I got it under control.”

Erica nodded, "She will, Tad... I promise. Maybe you should take her somewhere... out to dinner or something. You could leave the twins & Kathy with Jackson & I." She offered with a smile.
She then shook her head. "You know, cheer leading isn't all that bad, Tad. If you let her do it now & she outgrows it, maybe she'll want to do soccer or softball when she's older," Erica shrugged, knowing that Jackson would never have wanted to see Greenlee or Lily or Bianca do any sport that involved a short skirt & cheering on football players.
Feeling her blood pressure return to normal, Erica replied, "Okay... I just want to make sure you get to see your little girl. I know she's been away for a while & I hope that you get to make up for that lost time."

“Don’t tempt me,” Tad chuckled, though he knew taking Dixie out for an evening would more than likely do the trick. But where, he wondered. He wanted Dixie to have a good time well of course she would have a good time with him. Who wouldn’t?!
Thaddeus started laughing at Erica. “Has anybody ever told you you’re like a tiger when it comes to your friends?” He asked jokingly. “But seriously, I don’t want my Jenny growing up thinking her father doesn’t care or love her, so I will not be letting this go on too much longer. I want Jenny to get a little more settled, Krystal as well."
"So I recall sometime ago you mentioning a book?" He hinted. Changing the subject was probably for the best because he knew once you got Erica started there was no stopping. Shaking his head he looked down at Colton and played like he was dancing. "Momma keeping the details to herself. Tell her no fair."

Erica shook her head. "Seriously... you both would love it! Bring the little ones over... I'm sure I could talk Kathy into playing a sport with shorts while I'm at it... I am known to be very convincing, you know," she said with a wink. Erica Kane was always up for a challenge, whether it be babysitting or convincing an eight year old that cheer leading was not nearly as much fun as a dance class. She would know, after all. She had done plenty of dancing in her day!
She then smiled, "A tigress, maybe," she continued to play off his humor, but then added, "I just don't want either of you to have to wait too long to see each other. I know she's been away for a long time, &... well, I know what it can do to a little girl to be without her father," she said with a soft nod. She didn't want to ruin the mood, but she really did hope Krystal would cooperate if Tad wanted to see his daughter.
She then smiled, lightening the mood again, when Tad mentioned her book. "I... I did mention that. But ever since this little guy has come into our lives, I haven't done much work on it. Now, with another one on the way, I will have to try twice as hard to put in the hours. I think I need one single day to sit down & really think about it. It's started, & really, the last chapter is written, but I need to fill in the middle," she explained, shaking her head, before looking at the boys.
"No fair? Tell your uncle Tad that him not telling me what's going on with his job is no fair!" she exclaimed in baby talk, causing Colton to squeal at his mother. "Right?! Tell him!" she continued with a big smile toward her baby.
