When Anya came back to Mac's because she forgot her purse. She heard screaming, dogs barking, and Michael yelling.....
"STOP THE NOISE NOW!!!"
Still having no control over the kids, Anya decided to knock on the door hard.
*KNOCK,KNOCK*
"Who the hell is that?"
Opening the door he seen Anya standing there.
"I forgot my purse," she smiled.
"Oh....come in, excuse the mess. "Shannon, stop pulling MJ's hair right now."
"Having trouble with the rugrats?"
"You have no idea, between them, and those damn stupid dogs."
"Want some help?" She smiled.
"Sure, if you think you can do any better."
"Hmmm...is that a little sarcasm I hear?"
Walking into the disaster area, Anya screamed at the top of her lungs.
"WHO WANTS LUNCH?"
"I do, I do, I do," yelled the kids in unison."
"First one to the kitchen, get's an extra cookie."
As the kids ran into the kitchen, they all sat down.
"Okay, who wants PB&J? And who wants bologne?"
"I want PB&J," yelled Shannon.
"Me too, me too, with milk please."
Once Anya and Michael had all the kids settled and eating, she helped him tackle the house.
"Are you going to be okay Michael?"
"I think so, I never realized how hard it is to watch five kids at once."
"It's not easy, that's for sure, but thanks for all your help."
"Why don't you sit Michael, and I'll make you a coffee."
"Thanks. That would be nice."
After lunch Anya found some coloring books and crayons, sitting the kids down, she had them color.
"Tell me about yourself Michael?"
"Not much to tell. I was born and raised in NY. I worked for the largest law firm, till I quit. I was married to a beautiful woman named Sonya, but she died giving birth to Caroline."
As she looked at Michael with her eyes, he could see she was sorry, without saying it. That was something Michael appriciated. He could never understand why people say sorry when someone dies, gets injured, or ends up getting some deadly disease. I mean what were they sorry for, it wasn't them going through it, it wasn't them responsible for what was happening.
"Anyways Anya, tell me about you?"
"I'm Natalia's younger sister, I just moved here shortly after I was kidnapped. IT took Natalia and the team to find me. So I figured life was to short to live so far away from the ones you love. I've never been married, and I don't have children. Though I'd like to one day."
Just as Michael was about to say something else, Mac, Stella and the team walked in.
"Hi Michael, we're home." said Stella.
"Hi mom, how's Mac doing?"
"She's going to be fine. She has an infection, but they are clearing it up with antibiotics. Where are the kids? Did you sell them all?" She giggled.
"No....though if not for Anya, I would have. By the way mom, your wedding vase got shattered."
"How?"
"King and Kong decided to wrestle with the pups, and then the kids couldn't control them, leading to a huge mess. Then Anya came along and saved the day."
"Wow...quite a day for you. I take it you are Nat's sister?"
"I am, and I should get going, she was expecting me hours ago. Take care Michael. Maybe if you're not busy one night, I can show you around Miami."
"Sure...he said shyly. We'll see. Thanks again Anya."
"You're welcome. It was wonderful to meet you all."
"You too, take care Anya."
After she left, Mac whispered....
"Now she's one hot......"
*Slap*
"Owww Stel, what was that for?"
"You know exactly what it was for Mr. Taylor."
Walking from the room Michael said.....
"Better go fix it dad, before she has you sleeping with the dogs," he laughed.
