"Rules," Kat said wrinkling her nose. She came over and climbed into Rachel's lap, glad she was staying, now she didn't have to worry about her being all alone. "Like going to bed rules?" She hated those. In fact she wasn't the least bit tired, well not at the moment anyway. Rachel looked at Julia and Nick and had a feeling her little girl would have help in the evading of going to bed at a certain time but smiled anyway "More like no crawling up on tables or chairs rules and we can figure out the bed time rule when we get changed out of our dresses and into pajamas." "Now make your rounds and tell everyone goodnight." she winked as she stood, gently taking out one of the flowers that were already being worked out of Kat's hair from twirling. "We can see about putting these in a scrap book for you." She made her own rounds and ended with Julia and Nick, barely able to keep from grinning knowingly "You two be good. And thank you for letting Kat be a part of it." Kat had reached them and Julia smiled, lowering herself in order to hug her "No, thank you Kat for eloping with us. You're the best flowergirl anyone could have." "And ask for eleven o'clock first." she whispered into Kat's ear so only she heard "You'll be able to stay up until 10 by the time the making a deal time is done easy." Then she straightened again and hugged Rachel "Thank you for letting us sneak out with Kat." Rachel hugged her back and patted Nick on the cheek before teasing "Remember the ribs, Boyle." With that Rachel led Kat out and up the stairs.
