"Caitlin's Way"
Title: "Dancing around Emotions"
Summary: Sparks fly between Caitlin and Brett when they are paired up for a parenting project.
"Caitlin! Griffin! Wake up, time for school!"
Dori's voice was heard throughout the house; she had her long blonde hair in a tight ponytail. Lori poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Jim when he walked into the kitchen.
"Morning, are the kids up yet?"
"Shut up Griffin!"
"No you shut up!"
Jim and Dori looked away from each other and let their eyes move over to the top of the stairs where Caitlin and Griffin were standing having yet another fight. Dori smothered an annoyed sigh; that was all they did lately.
"Will you two stop fighting? For once in your lives?"
Dori caught Jim laughing and swatted him on his arm.
"Don't encourage them"
"Fine Dori but just to let you know, geek boy started it"
Caitlin hopped down the stairs with Griffin shortly behind her; Griffin rolled his eyes and grabbed a bagel as did Caitlin and they both started to walk out the door.
"Don't you guys want any breakfast?"
"Yeah, you guys shouldn't leave on a empty stomach"
Caitlin threw her backpack on purposely hitting Griffin in the face with it; Griffin pushed Caitlin out the door throwing his backpack on too; Caitlin and Griffin peeked their heads into the door and waved their bagels at Jim and Dori and ran off without saying a word.
"Did we just sound like old worry warts or was that just me?"
Jim sighed.
"We sounded like old worry warts"
Jim got up drinking the last of his coffee and put on his hat.
"Got to go honey"
Jim kissed Dori and walked out the door and watched Caitlin and Griffin run after the bus fighting the whole time.
"Man, do they ever stop?"
Jim snorted a laugh at the thought of Caitlin Seegar and Griffin Lowe getting along, he smiled and got into his car driving off.
"Shut up Griffin! You are so annoying!"
Caitlin rolled her eyes and put her hair up in a bun; she walked into their school and walked over to her locker.
"Hey isn't that parenting project thing today?"
Griffin leaned against one of the steel lockers and sighed.
"Yeah, they're pairing up partners for it today except this time it's not an egg but a doll that seems like a real baby"
Caitlin groaned and threw her locker door open and grabbed her history book.
"Man, who needs thi---"
Caitlin dropped her books and stopped in the middle of her sentence when she felt someone pick her up; Caitlin looked down and hit Brett on the head.
"Idiot!"
Brett smiled and let Caitlin down but laughed harder when she started hitting him more.
"Guys stop it"
Griffin put his arm around Caitlin and Brett and guided them to their first class, trying not to laugh.
"I would only be lucky to get Griffin as my partner again, he's so pathetic, he'll do anything for me"
Taylor smiled and walked into the classroom and rolled her eyes and muttered something under her breath as she passed Caitlin who was in an argument with Eric.
"Okay class excuse me, after much thinking and observing you students I have come up with the partners for the parenting project. Taylor and Griffin"
Taylor smiled and winked at Griffin who just moaned.
"Eric and Annie"
Eric let his head fall letting out a moan.
"And let me see, Caitlin and Brett"
Griffin and Eric started laughing while Caitlin downcasted her eyes.
"I can't believe I get stuck with Brett, kill me now"
Caitlin walked out of the classroom and walked into the cafeteria muttering the whole way there. Griffin smiled and followed Caitlin without saying a word but laughing inside the whole time as Eric was but with Eric he was laughing inside and out.
"Hey it won't be that bad Caitlin, I bet we will make a great team"
Caitlin laughed.
"Sure we will, we can't even agree on what we want on a pizza when you stay over plus we have nothing in common"
"It's not my fault that you don't like anchovies"
"Again I say ick, they're gross Brett"
"So you say"
"I do say"
Griffin and Eric stared at Caitlin and Brett in utmost shock, how could they fight so passionately about anchovies?
"Shall we say possible love connection?"
Griffin shook his head fast at Eric's suggestion, Griffin couldn't even imagine his best friend and his first cousin being together as in a couple together, just the thought made him shudder.
"Let's go inside, I can't stand their fighting"
Griffin and Eric walked past Caitlin and Brett.
"Okay what about how you must have olives on a pizza? That drives me insane Caitlin"
"Olives? You don't like olives? They're great"
"No they're gross"
"Great"
"Gross"
Caitlin and Brett stopped yelling at each other when they realized that they were nose to nose with each other and in the middle of the school fighting about pizza; Brett smiled sheepishly.
"Maybe we should get something to eat"
"Fine by me, just no anchovies"
"No olives"
Caitlin walked into the cafeteria with Brett right behind her.
"Hey Jim, hey Dori"
Caitlin waved and walked up the stairs and into her room; next to come in was Brett.
"Hi Mr. Lowe, Ms. Lowe"
Brett smiled and ran up the stairs behind Caitlin.
"Doesn't mommy want to hold her child?"
Caitlin looked up from the magazine she was reaching and arched an eyebrow.
"What? Can't daddy hold the baby for a few minutes? After all I did give birth to her"
"What makes you think that it's a she? It could be a he"
"I doubt it"
Brett arched his eyebrows also.
"And why is that?"
"Because I say so"
Caitlin grabbed the life like doll out of Brett's arms and put the doll between her legs.
"Okay honey, what shall we call our daughter?"
Caitlin laughed.
"Um, her name is going to be Cat"
Brett sat down next to Caitlin and looked at her.
"Why Cat?"
"Because it's a mix between your name and my name"
Brett nodded and smiled at Caitlin but he suddenly felt his palms start to get sweaty and he was freaked out because Caitlin was giving him the sweaty palms… she looked so beautiful.
"Brett are you okay?"
Brett shook his head.
"Yeah why?"
"You were all dazed, totally out of it, hey give me a blanket"
Brett grabbed a little blanket and handed it to Caitlin who put it on the bed and put the doll on it.
"What were you thinking about?"
You.
"Nothing really, I'm just tired"
Caitlin nodded and let her hair down, letting it fall upon her shoulders. Brett stared back at Caitlin and froze when she looked back at him.
"You're freaking me out"
"Sorry"
Both Caitlin and Brett became silent, not knowing what else to do, the tension in the room was so thick that you could cut it with a knife.
''Dude, I am telling you Brett is totally crushing over Caitlin, which is really odd to me but hey she is kind of cute in that psycho kind of way"
Eric hefted himself up on the kitchen counter and took a bite of his tuna sandwich he had made.
"No way Eric! Caitlin and Brett are just friends, plus remember he likes Annie"
Eric shook his head.
"Either if you want to believe it or not but our little Caitlin is growing up"
Griffin shook his head grabbing a soda.
"Shut up"
"Okay no anchovies and no olives how about a compromise? Um pineapple?"
Brett smiled.
"Pineapple it is"
"Good because I already ordered it"
Brett smiled.
"Without asking me?"
"You bet"
Brett laughed; he went to go touch the doll the same time Caitlin did and their hands touched.
"Sorry"
"No I am"
They both apologized but they were still touching each other's hands.
"I-I-"
Brett leaned over and kissed Caitlin but the minute he did it he jumped up.
"Oh I got to go"
Brett grabbed his backpack and ran out of Caitlin's bedroom and down the stairs and out of the house.
"Um what just happened?"
Caitlin looked down at the doll.
"I think me and your daddy are going to get a divorce"
Griffin and Eric watched Brett run out the house and the minute he was out of sight they turned to each other.
"What was that about?"
Griffin shrugged and took another sip of his soda.
""Who knows? He's Brett"
Eric nodded in agreement.
Brett stopped running and leaned over trying to catch his breath, he looked behind him making sure no one followed him. Oh geez what have I done? Brett shook his head and sat down on the ground.
What have I done?
