Chapter 2: A Land Where Dreams Come True…Not!

Once Cody was gone, Felicia finished putting the stroller and suitcases in the back of the car. But before she could get in the car, Ashley stopped her.

"Where's Cody?" Ashley asked

"He had some business to take care of." Felicia said shutting her car door

Felicia wanted to cry, but she decided against it, "Brenda is Ricky buckled into his car seat?"

"Yes, and I'm buckled up too." Brenda said

"Constance, you forgetting anything?" Felicia asked

Constance looked around to make sure she had everything she needed, "Nope, I got everything."

"Alright, Disney World here we come." Felicia said

A Land Where Dreams Come True…Not!

It was a two-hour drive to get from Tampa to Orlando, and Felicia felt like she was going to go insane. Patrick and Brenda were fighting in the back seat and Constance was listening to her Ipod. Felicia couldn't wait until they reached the hotel. About fifteen minutes later Felicia had pulled into the parking lot of Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa, she turned off the car, snatched the head phones out of Constance's ears, and turned around in her seat…

"Now you three listen up, and listen good. If I hear from uncle John or uncle Dave that you three were acting like little idiots, we're going to be having some major issues. And Constance if I hear that you've been bad mouthing anyone, I'm going to shove my foot down your throat." Felicia threatened

"Yes ma'am." They all said

"Constance and Brenda go help uncle John and uncle Dave unpack the car. Patrick your coming with me." Felicia said getting out of the car

When she saw Sadie and Ashley a smile instantly came to her face, "Well if it isn't my posse."

Felicia hugged Sadie and hugged Ashley and they headed into the resort to get checked in. When they walked into the lobby Patrick and the twins were in awe at all the vibrant colors and pictures everywhere.

"Aren't you glad we came boys?" Sadie asked her two sons

They obviously liked it seeing as how they couldn't stop smiling and staring at how the lobby was decorated. Patrick was just as excited, but he wanted his dad to be there too. Felicia noticed the sad look on Patrick's face when he saw a boy and his father laughing and playing together in the lobby.

"Sweetie, I'm sorry daddy couldn't come. But I promise you that when we get home daddy will play with you and spend everyday with you." Felicia said

Patrick smiled and hugged Felicia, but when he saw Constance walk through the lobby doors with her bags, he hid behind Felicia.

"Patrick, you're not scared of Constance are you?" Felicia asked

Patrick nodded, and looked at Constance with a scared look on his face. Felicia kneeled down beside Patrick and smiled.

"Listen to me, you don't need to be afraid of her. She's just going through a little "dominance phase" that's all. If she tried to hurt you or Brenda tell me, uncle John, or uncle Dave. Okay." Felicia said

"Okay mommy." Patrick said

While John and Dave were at the receptionist's desk getting the room keys, Constance and Brenda argued over who was going to wear the cute pink bathing suit that Felicia had bought. But when Felicia walked over, they quickly shut up.

"What the hell is going on now?" Felicia asked

"Mom, please tell this wench that I'm wearing that cute pink bikini you bought." Constance said

Felicia started laughing, "Excuse me, but what makes you think I bought that for either one of you?"

"You mean, it's for you?" Brenda asked

"Yes, it is. Do you have a problem with that?" Felicia asked

"Mom, no offense, but you're not supposed to wear stuff like that. I mean at least not out in public." Constance said

"Says who? It's a free country, and I hate to brag but I look better than half the women at this resort." Felicia smiled

"I beg to differ." Said Ashley walking up behind Felicia

"Okay, me and your auntie Ashley look better than half the women at this resort." Felicia corrected

"Auntie Sadie, auntie Ashley, and your mom look better than all the women at this resort." Sadie said standing beside Felicia

"Now I know we're going to have to go with uncle John and uncle Dave tomorrow." Constance said

"Why?" Brenda asked

"Did you just not hear what they said? With those three together you might as well fire Charlie's Angels." Constance said

Just as John and Dave were making their way over to the others, they noticed a certain couple enter the lobby.

"Hey Dave, is that who I think it is?" John asked

"I don't know. He does look kind of different." Dave said

Once they were with the others, John and Dave couldn't help but feel like all hell was about to break loose, so they grabbed the kids and headed up to the rooms.

"Hmm, I wonder why Dave and John jetted so fast." Felicia said

"Maybe cause your ex-boyfriend is checking into the hotel." Ashley said

"What ex-boyfriend?" Felicia asked turning around

When Felicia saw Taylor and what seemed like his wife and two daughters at the receptionist desk, she wanted to punch someone. Without hesitating she turned back around so that he wouldn't see her.

"Why in the hell does he have to be here?" Felicia whispered

"Probably because it's where all the families go this time of year." Constance said

"Shut up, was I talking to you?" Felicia asked

"Was that a rhetorical question?" Constance asked

Felicia gave her the look of a thousand deaths, and she quickly shut up.

"Don't worry so much, it's not like he's actually going to recognize you." Ashley said

"Felicia Gilbert? Is that you?" Taylor asked noticing her from the desk

When she turned to face him, she put on a fake smile.

"Taylor, wow. It's been a long time." Felicia said

"Too long. So how you been?" He asked

"Happily married." She smiled

"Oh wow, congrats. Oh by the way, I'd like to introduce you to my fiancée, Trish." He introduced

Felicia stared at her and wanted to roll her eyes, but refrained from doing so.

"It's nice to meet you." Felicia said

"So you're the little bitch that left Taylor for your high school sweetheart. I wouldn't be surprised. If look half as fake now as you did back then, I'd have to say that you made the biggest mistake." Trish spat

Ashley and Sadie grabbed the kids, Constance took Felicia's earrings, and Brenda took her rings. And without a single breath Felicia punched Trish dead in the face. Hitting her head on the seat cushion of a nearby chair, Trish hit the floor.

"First of all, don't you ever come at me like that ever again! Second, I gave the best years of my life Taylor, but he wanted to control me, so I broke up with him. So before you come at with the that he said/she said shit, get your facts straight." Felicia said

"You're still the same old Felicia. You haven't changed a bit." Taylor said

"The only thing that's changed about me is that I'm married and I have three kids." Felicia said

"You're just going to stand there and let her win?" Trish asked

"You shouldn't have provoked me. If you hadn't come out of your mouth with all that bull shit, then your ass wouldn't be on the floor right now." Felicia said

"Mom, can we go before you do something else to her?" Brenda asked

"Sure baby, lets go." Felicia said heading towards the elevators

As soon as they got into the elevators, "You Wouldn't Know" by Hell Yeah started blaring on Felicia's cell phone…it was Cody.

"Hey sweetie." Felicia answered

"Oh god, who did you hit? It wasn't John was it?" Cody asked

"What makes you think I hit someone?" Felicia asked

"The only time you call me sweetie is when something bad just happened or you hit someone. So what happened?" He asked

"I ran into my ex-boyfriend, Taylor Kitsch, and his fiancée in the resort a couple minutes ago." Felicia said

"Let me take a wild guess. She said something that pissed you off, and you punched the shit out of her?" He asked

"Actually that's exactly what happened. How did you know?" She asked

Just as the elevator doors opened, there stood Cody on the other side, "Cause I saw the whole thing."

Felicia was completely shocked and jumped out of the elevator into his arms. Cody swung her around and they laughed. Patrick couldn't believe it. A big smile showed on his face but he couldn't move. Cody noticed him standing in the open elevator and smiled.

"Come here big guy." Cody said holding out his arms

And without hesitation, Cody ran into his father's arms, "Daddy how did you get here?"

"Well Ricky, daddy was driving around and realized that it doesn't matter how many times mommy and I fight, we belong together." Cody explained taking a quick glance at Felicia

"Even when mommy punches you in the face?" Patrick asked

"Well daddy kind of deserved that punch in the face, Ricky." Cody smiled

"Okay, can we cut all this mushy crap out…it's making me sick." Constance said getting an attitude and storming out of the elevator

Felicia looked at everyone and chased after Constance. When she finally stopped, Constance started crying.

"Baby what's wrong?" Felicia asked

"Why couldn't you and dad be like that? Why couldn't you two stay together?" Constance cried

"Let me explain something to you. I tried really hard to make things work out with your father, I really did. But he wasn't ready to commit. He didn't want to let go of the past, so I had to let him go. But believe me, I loved your father very much, but he's put me through so much shit in the past. I couldn't deal with it anymore." Felicia explained

"And what makes you think Cody isn't going to do the same thing?" Constance asked

"Because Cody isn't your father. Cody is genuine, sweet, and he loves you. He loves you so much Constance, but you won't let him in. You're so wrapped up in yourself to let anyone in. That's why you need to let go of this fantasy that me and your father are going to get back together. Cause it's not going to happen." Felicia said

Constance saw the look on Felicia's face and knew that she wasn't lying. But she still wanted her father to be apart of her life.

"What about Brenda?" Constance asked

"What about her?" Felicia asked

"Don't you think she deserves to know that you'll never get back with dad?" Constance asked

"She already knows." Felicia said

"Oh so you explained this to her and not me?" Constance asked getting angry

"Because I knew you would act like this. See you may look like your father, but you act just like me. Rude, obnoxious, self-centered, and just down right evil. But you know, that acting like that isn't going to get you anywhere in life. I wasn't always like this. Before I met your father, I didn't curse as much as I do now. I trusted people, but now…I don't even know if I can trust Cody. But I can tell you this, if I don't give him a chance, then I will live the rest of my life wondering "what if"." She said, "Do you want that for me? Do you want me to be lonely for the rest of my life?"

"You'll have us." Constance said

"You know what I mean, Constance." Felicia said

"I guess not. I mean I guess I could give Cody a chance." She said

"Thank you." Felicia said giving Constance a hug

As they walked back to the elevators, Constance stopped.

"What's wrong?" Felicia asked

"Did you get a separate room for me and Brenda?" Constance asked

"Yeah, why?" Felicia asked

"Just checking. I don't want a repeat of what happened last night." Constance said shaking the images out of her head

Felicia started laughing, and once they reunited with the group they headed towards their rooms. The adults got separate suites while the kids had to share a suite. Constance and Brenda got their own room, while Patrick, David, Xavier, and Ryder had to share the other.

"Yes! I get my own bed…finally." Brenda said jumping on her twin bed

"I know, it can't get any better than this." Constance said jumping up on the bed

Just then there was a knock on their door, and Constance and Brenda looked at one another. Brenda walked to the front door and opened it. Brenda felt like her heart was going to jump out of her mouth and she nearly started screaming.

"Daddy!" Brenda screamed

Randy held out his arms and Brenda jumped into him. Constance walked out of her room and ran towards the door.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Constance asked with a bright smile on her face

"Well, I talked to your uncle John and he told me that you would be here, so I decided to come too." Randy said

"Is that ho Samantha with you?" Constance asked

"Yes, Samantha is with me, and she's not a ho." Randy said

"Well, she is in my book." Felicia said from behind

"Oh shit." Constance mumbled

"Hey Felicia, I thought you would be out shopping." Randy said

"Well as much as I would love to, I couldn't go anywhere without saying bye to my kids." She said

"Okay, well while you're out shopping I'll take the girls to the park with me and Samantha." He said

"I don't fuckin' think so. I would rather catch a chronic disease and die than to go within a hundred feet of that skanky bitch." Constance spat

"Well, I see someone has picked up on your mother's bad language." Randy said

"It's not mom's fault that you're stupid fuck. You're the reason why she started using bad language in the first place, so basically it's all your fault. Everything that went wrong in our lives is because of you, Randy." Constance said

"I would rather you call me dad." Randy said

"See, I already have a dad. And you're not him." Constance said

Just then Samantha walked down the hall and stood beside Randy, "Am I interrupting something?"

"No, Randy was just leaving. And if either of you bother me, Brenda, or any other part of my family, I will kick your ass myself." Constance threatened

Felicia smiled and raised her eyebrow, "Come on sweetie, lets get you and the kids ready for bed. It's late and you kids have a big day tomorrow."

"See, you lucky I'm getting ready to go to sleep. Otherwise you'd suffer my undeniable wrath." Constance said walking into the hotel room

Before Felicia walked into the room she turned around to face Randy, "Oh, and if you so much as say "hello" to the kids in the park tomorrow, I will make sure that you never wrestle again." Felicia said

With that said, Felicia slammed the door in Randy's face.

Meanwhile,

Sadie was crying hysterically as she held the pregnancy test in her hand. Dave kept knocking on the door, but she ignored it. It wasn't the right time to have another baby, and there was no way in hell she was ready for another baby.

"Sweetheart it's going to be okay. Just open the door." Dave pleaded

"Leave me alone David! Just get out…Get out!" Sadie yelled, "It's your fault I'm in this mess again, dammit David!"

Dave gave up and left the hotel room, on his way to the lobby he ran into John.

"Hey man, what's up?" John asked

"Man, Sadie's pregnant again." Dave said

"Wow, I mean isn't that a good thing?" John asked

"I don't even know. I mean Sadie and I wanted a whole lot of kids, but she's just so picky." Dave said

"Picky about what?" John asked

"She wants the kids to be at least a couple years apart. And after she had the boys she swore that she wouldn't have kids for a couple of years." Dave said

"And let me guess, when she found out she was pregnant she kicked you out of the room?" John asked

"Yep." Dave said nodding his head

"Well, I know exactly what you need my friend. Come on, I'll show you exactly what I did when I found out that Ashley was having Ryder." John said walking with Dave

Later that night…

When Dave and John arrived back at the hotel, John basically had to carry Dave through the lobby. Seeing as how he was drunk off his ass, John wasn't about to take him back to the hotel room he shared with Sadie. So, John got an idea…. Instead of taking him back to his own room, he's put him in the room with the kids…Oh great idea, jackass…

"Dave you literally need to lay off the protein shakes, I could barely carry you through the damn lobby." John said laying him down on the couch

"Johnny man, I don't feel so good." Dave said as he tried to sit up

"Oh hell no, you better not blow chunks on me, Dave. Hold it in…I'll go get a trashcan." John said running to find a trashcan

Once he found a trashcan he handed it to Dave, and well lets just say all the alcohol that Dave had that night, ended up in the trashcan. Just then Brenda walked out of the bathroom rubbing her eyes.

"Uncle John, what are you doing in here? And why does it smell like rotten food?" Brenda asked

"Um, don't worry about. Just go back to bed." John said

"Do you want me to call Auntie Ashley?" Brenda asked

"God no, I mean, no…Just go back to bed. Everything is just fine." John said

Brenda shrugged her shoulders and walked back into the room she shared with Constance.

"Dave you owe me big time." John said

But when John looked down at Dave, he was passed out cold.

"Alright, he's out. So that means I can go back to my room and go to sleep." John said walking out of the room


Well, Dave didn't take Sadie's pregnancy well…so what's going to happen when Felicia finds Dave asleep on the couch in the kid's room? Read and Review
