Nightmare in the grocery store

I don't own Newsies in any way.


"Caleb, sweetheart. Could you go to the store and pick up a few things?" Alexia asked.

"Sure", Caleb said.

"Oh and be sure to take the other children will you?" Alexia suggested.

Caleb groaned.


Caleb loaded his daughter Kylee, his son Breslyn, Tyler's son Gabriel, and Reid's son Rafe into the mini-van. "Uncle Caleb, where we goin'?" Gabriel asked. "To the store", Caleb said.


Caleb arrived at the store. He put Kylee in the front part of the cart. "Hold on to the cart", Caleb told the boys.

The boys did as they were told.

It didn't last long.

As soon as they entered the store, Breslyn spotted the bakery and screamed, "Cookies!"

Caleb got them each a cookie. He looked down and saw Rafe down. "Rafe!" Caleb yelled.

Rafe, who was over by the apples, pulled on out, sending the others tumbling down.

Caleb ran towards the toddler, but tripped and fell on the apples.

The boys laughed at Caleb.

"Wait until your mother hears about this", Caleb growled. Caleb stumbled to his feet and walked back over to the cart. Caleb smiled as Rafe innocently held out the apple he had grabbed. Caleb placed it in the cart.

They headed back to the electronic section.

All 3 boys flew in different directions.

Rafe headed for the video games, Breslyn headed for the movies, and Gabriel headed for the books.

Suddenly, Caleb heard an alarm go off.

Rafe hugged Caleb's legs. "Make it stop Unca Caleb", Rafe cried.

Caleb bent down to Rafe's level. "Now we know never to do that again, don't we?" Caleb said.

Rafe nodded.

They set off to find the other two boys.

Gabriel was so engrossed in his book that Caleb simply picked him up and placed him in the cart.

Breslyn came back with a handful of movies and dumped them in the cart.

The rest of the shopping trip went smoothly.


When they arrived home, the boys crashed in the living room and Kylee was asleep in her play pen.

"What happened?" Alexia asked.

"You don't even want to know", Caleb said.
