The Cowboy and the Mermaid

Dwight gets Eric ready for the day and then starts on breakfast while Lorelei gets Erin and Austin ready. It is a special time of day when the babies are especially alert and happy. The parents enjoy the apple pancakes and talk about plans for the day.

He checks for any jobs available on the website and then sits with Lorelei while she looks at the local paper.

He tells her about a job and that it should be a fast one and hugs her bye. She plays with Austin in his swing while the other two babies nap.

The job doesn't take long and he hurries back home. He finds he misses his little ones as much as he misses their Mom when he is gone. He rocks Erin and feeds a hungry Eric while Mom rocks Austin.

They find time to rock themselves once the babies are in bed.

Lorelei is up with the sun and takes an early swim. It is a beautiful morning in Sunlit Tides. She showers in the outdoor shower enclosure before going back into the house.

Austin is up and he gets a ride in the new stroller.

Dad gets a ride in his new 'stang'. A cool PI needs a cool ride! He needed to be able to get to places faster with his job than his bike could do. Plus, with babies they needed a bigger ride so there is also an SUV in the garage. Lorelei may not be thrilled but she cannot handle getting three babies around the island on her bike.

Erin and Eric get rides in the strollers when Dad gets home. Dwight somehow manages to get the stroller through the sand filled side yard!

Later that evening once it was nice and dark Dwight went out and riffled the mail and searched the trash at a potential blackmailer's home. Dwight found several magazines and newspapers where the letters and words had been cut out in the trash can. He reported back to his client Suzuki that his suspicions as to who the blackmailer is correct. He helped Suzuki file a police report with Logan who will handle the case from this point.

Lorelei was waiting in the foyer when Dwight got home. They didn't quite make it to the bedroom.
