Holiday Cheer
But now there's nowhere to hide, since you pushed my love aside! I'm out of my head… I covered my ears, and decided, last night, was the last time I would ever watch a musical with my wife. "Lilly! Stop singing and help me out with these bags!" She rolled her eyes "Can't you see I'm trying to get Rachel in the car Jackson!" I crossed my arms "And you need to do this while singing" Lilly sighed and buckled Rae up. Her real name was Rachel, but we often called her Rae, as it was how we came up with her name. Yes, we stole Miley's middle name for our child. Rae was two years old, and about as hyper as Lilly, Miley, and I put together, yes, she was THAT hyper. Lilly got herself settled in the front seat, I sighed, guess I was going to have to load these bags myself. I finished up and got into the car, starting to drive.
"You're supposed to turn here Jackson!" I rolled my eyes, two hours and she was getting on my nerves. "It used to be MY house, I know where it is, and you turn at the next one." Lilly shook her head "And it was MY best friend's house, and you turn HERE" I shook my head "No Lilly" She shrugged cockily, she thought she was so smart, but I love that about her.
"Did I tell you? Or did I tell you?" I sighed, she was right, it was the turn she said it was "I'll get us out" She shook her head "Nuh-Uh, NO WAY, you don't even know where your own house is, stop here, we're switching seats. I did as I was told, there was no arguing with her this time, I messed up, and she was going to fix it.
"I swear Jackson, sometimes I wonder, where is your sense of direction" Lilly said as she pulled into my old driveway. She got out and unbuckled Rachel, I got the bags, and we both walked to the door arguing. She rang the doorbell "How will I ever trust you to go out by yourself, when you can't even get to your own house" I sighed "Drop it Lilly" She buried her head in her hands "I will not drop it!" She was VERY moody, but I couldn't blame her, I had to try to keep my patience, after all, she was six months pregnant.
She pushed the doorbell six times. "Oh what is with these people!? I swear! I bet they can't find the door, you must've got it from somewhere" The door opened, revealing Miley's angry expression, but soon changed at the sight of her best friend. "Lilly! Oh my! Look how you've grown!" Lilly laughed, there goes her mood swings. "I know! I'm SO happy! Eeep!" Not two seconds ago she wasn't. The two did a little happy dance, as Rachel clapped delightfully. I walked in, closing the door, and settling down my bags. I saw 7 faces, other than Miley, Lilly, and Rae's. And I suddenly knew, this was going to be ANYTHING but a quiet Christmas.
