Phoebe had expected the news to hit like a bomb, and it did. She smiled at the erupting chaos, though she felt a little bad as she took in her mother’s expression. Charlie’s mother was also clearly a bit hurt, but Phoebe reminded herself that it had been their choice. The thought of a huge...

Phoebe grinned at Charlie as they gave permission. She cleared her throat. "Sorry to interrupt your conversations," she started loudly, pausing until everyone was looking her way. She took Charlie’s hand. “But we have an announcement.” She paused again, letting the tension build. “Charlie and I...

It was always nice and a little strange to see both her own and Charlie's families together. They were so different but pretty similar too. Phoebe knew her parents were curious about this dinner and if it had any special purpose. She wasn't sure how they would react to the news they had for...

Phoebe grinned at the young girl's choice, giving her a thumb's up. "Good taste, kiddo." She said, taking out the mint chocolate chip ice cream. She grabbed two bowls and scooped ice cream into both of them, adding a bit of whipped cream for good measure. If Lucy had a sugar high after this, it...

It was still strange sometimes, how quickly Lucy was growing up. Phoebe still distinctly remembered her as a baby, a pink, wiggling, crying thing that had frankly intimidated her a bit. Now she was six, which felt like it had happened in a flash. It was always fun to watch her youngest sister...

Phoebe smiled fondly as Lucy came barrelling outside and gave them hugs. It eased the tension a bit, though Phoebe still wanted to tease her sister. Unfortunately, Diana walked away before she could ask her more questions. Phoebe headed over to the table, taking Charlie's hand as they headed...

Phoebe looked up when her younger sisters also joined them outside. Alice was with Elliot, but Diana was conspicuously on her own. Phoebe couldn't help smiling a bit as Alice asked about it. Alice had a talent for sounding completely innocent and casual even when she was needling someone, though...
