Chapter 107: Home in the Bayou

“Daddy!”  Bobby opened his eyes just in time to see a tiny blonde missile launch herself onto the bed.

“Hey there, June bug,” he cooed, wrapping his daughter in his arms.  “How are you feeling?”

Jerilyn smiled in at them from the door.  “She seems a little better than yesterday.”

“Better, huh?”  He sat the little girl across his stomach.  “What do suppose we’d have to do to talk Nana into making us some of her famous pancakes?”

She held out her hand to Savannah.  “Come on, cher.  Let your Daddy get up.  We’ll go fix him some pancakes.”

Freshly showered and dressed in jeans and a navy polo, Bobby followed his nose to the giant kitchen of his parents’ home.  With eight bedrooms and ten acres backing up to the marshes, Justin and Jerilyn Beaulieu had more than enough room for their six children, their spouses, and currently seven grandchildren. 

“Here, Daddy,” Savannah said, indicating a stool beside hers at the breakfast bar.
