The car ride home was considerably less boisterous than the one to the restaurant.  Andrew chalked it up to general post-dinner lethargy while their stomachs were processing.  He called ahead to the house and made sure that their maid, Alexi, was preparing the coffee and cake before she went home for the night.  The family arrived at the house to see the kitchen set with individual slices of ice cream cake for everyone and a pot full of coffee and a tea kettle with hot water for tea.  "Everyone, dessert is served!"  Andrew announced as he wandered in.<br/><br/>Andrew took a seat near Kayla.  "Kayla, your new mother and I would like to spend a little time with you tonight and talk about a few things.  Is that alright, or would you just like to relax tonight and worry about that stuff tomorrow?"
