Faith watched as the little girl slept soundly in Rachael's lap. "Awww, she's so cuuuute."

Looking over, she glanced at her cousin Aaron who had drifted to sleep on the couch, then back to his daughter Livi. "Wow, that was some pretty heavy stuff. Remind me to stay single for life, 'kay, guys?" She leaned back in her seat in thought, before continuing. "So... that makes me a first-cousin-once-removed, right? I could never figure out that crazy family tree stuff."

Stretching, Faith got up and began rummaging through her bag. "So, Ry, when is it going to be yours and Rach's turn, eh?", she asked casually. Focussed on the contents of her bag, she didn't notice her bandmates' expressions towards her question. Before they could reply, she cut them off with a victorious "Sweet! Here it is!" and pulled her camera out with a triumphant grin.

Returning to where Rachael held Livi, she made sure the flash was off so it wouldn't wake her, then took a few shots with her camera.

"She's just too cute to pass up a few quick photos," she explained with a smile.

    Ryan just laughed, his hands sliding around Rachael's waist.
    "I'm in no rush yet Faith.." he winks at his wife, "But thanks for taking over Mom's job while she is busy." he laughs softly, leaning over and settling behind Rachael as he looked at Faith getting her camera set.
    "Say cheese." he said quickly, sticking out his tongue with a grin.

  2. Rachael smiled and shook her head. Her dad had been asking about grandchildren since before she and Ryan got engaged, and the frequency of the questions had only increased now that they were married.

    "Faith, you and that camera," Rachael teased gently. Honestly, she was glad Faith was always ready with her camera to capture impromptu special moments like this one.

    "And you..." she turned towards Ryan, grinning. "You're not the only one who can pull silly faces for the camera," she said, crossing her eyes and sticking her tongue out at him.
