Chapter Forty: Celebrate Good Times.

"Trust me kiddo, everything's fine since you left yesterday.  Little tyke was tuckered out after the late night, hasn't emerged from the bedroom yet... " 

"Yes, I'm sure he's asleep.  I had two kids of my own remember?"  Bob chuckled.

"You go have fun.  You tell Nathaniel I said Hi and tell him if he's not taking your mind off home he's not doing his job properly..."

"Right.  Love you kiddo.  See you tomorrow."

As well as the son of his new son-in-law, Bob found another friend to play video games with.  Her name was Ayaka and she lived in the neighbourhood.  Sometimes she and Bob would play together and sometimes they would play online.

 Addison went on a date with Anton.  She ended up doodling on the placemat because the food took so long to arrive.  Though Anton did look rather dashing in his blue suit and bowtie.

Eliza had problems with turning sixty.  She insisted she didn't want a big fuss.  So naturally, the Pancakes went all out with decorations, cards and presents.  But the number 60 was no where to be seen.

Eliza blew out the candles on the double tiered confection that Bob had baked. And almost put her back out bending over to do it.

Then Addison informed her "If you want to stay young Mum, you've got to keep up with the latest trends.  For example, this is a selfie."

"A what?" Eliza asked in mock confusion.

"A.. just smile." Addison replied.  Then she saw the grin on Eliza's face "I'm in the business, remember dear?"

Because she had to work on Eliza's birthday, Ainsley took her and Addison out for ladies night at the local pub.  There they spotted some purple haired twins and promptly lost Addison to the bar.

Except, Addison went to the bathroom and came back to find the previously empty barstools completely occupied.  Happy Hour has that effect sometimes.
