The Johnson Family

Chapter 2: The Settling

Jen can be seen running into her house. As she step inside, she try to close the door and lock it as fast as she could, but she's unsuccessful. A darker male who looks exactly her age soon barge inside. "Go away from me right now," Jen said to the male. "I just can't stay away from you," the male said as he ran to Jen. Everytime he got closer to Jen, she would try and as far from him as possible, but he would just get closer and closer. "You're just too beautiful," he added.

"True," jen said laughing. "But you got to go before my father comes and bust us. You know he's a cop."

"Well I guess I'm gonna be doing some time. At least I have you."

"Stop. Stop. You know I have a boyfriend."

"I know but…" the male grab Jen's hand and give a good yank pulling her in so close to him that their noses were touching. "…does he mind if I come close to you like this?" the male asked. Jen was so turn on about this. The two teens' head got closer until their lips have touch. But it was interrupted by a noise from the other room. "Jen? Is that you in there." It was Jen's father.

"Yeah dad," Jen replied back. "I'm in here. Along with Rashad." It has been a whole month since the Johnson family have moved into their new house. Rashad is Jen's boyfriend. They have been dating for two weeks and already boyfriend and girlfriend. "Can you come in the kitchen? And bring Rashad," Chris said. As a father, crhis always wanna make sure his son and daughters, or in Chris's eyes his prince and princesses, are being treated with respect and can go overbearing and too protective. Jen and Rashad headed into the kitchen and see Chris wiring the lighting. "Hey daddy," Jen said to her father. Chris got down the latter and Jen kisses her father's cheek. "Hey princess," chris said. HE soon turn his attention to her boyfriend.

"How you're doing Mr. Johnson?" Rashad said as he take his hand out for him to shake it. Rashad is a nice guy and like Jen, he also 16-years-old and he can drive as well. "How are you doing Rashad?" Chris said as he gave him a pat on the back. He patted on his back so hard that it was enough for Rashad to yell in pain. "Dad, don't break his spine now," Jen said pulling Rashad away from her faher. "You want something to eat? I got some chips?"

"Sure. Chips will do," her boyfriend said. When Jen went to open up a cabinet, she was havin g problems opeing it up. "Uhhh dad. I can't open up the snack cabinet."

"Ohh that's because I baby proof them," her father said.

"You what?"

"Baby proof them. Your mother is eight months pregnant now and I want to make sure this house is 100% baby proof for your newborn little brother."

"Well how am I supposed to get to the snakc cabinet now?"

"There's a number lock combination on the cabinets."

"All of them?"

"All of them."

"well what is the 4-digit number then?"

"Uhh…I…have…no idea. Sorry princess. Now if you're excuse me, I have to rewire the place."

"Rewire the whole house?" Rashad said still rubbiing his back. "Oh no," Jen said.

"What?"

"Everytime my dad tries to fix something, it always end badly."

"How badly?" Jen then take three fingers and countdown backwards. Three…two…one. All of a sudden, the two hear Chris screaming in pain also they see the entire lighting in the kitchen flickering on and off. Then everything went dark. "Oh I see," Rashad said.

30 MINUTES LATER

Molly soon came home with a basketball in her hand. She see the entire house is pitch dark. "Hello," she said wanting to know if anyone was home. "We're in here princess," her father chris who was in another room. Molly walked into the other room and see her entire family. "What happen to the lights in here? Molly asked.

"Your father tried to "baby proof" the lighting," Nicole said. She was on the phone with the electric company.

"Baby proof the lighting," Molly said as she was laughing. "Why Olivia doesn't have any clothes on?" Olivia is the second child and the middle daughter of Chris and Nicole. She's 10 years old. Olivia has a towel wrap around her. "Dad try to baby proof the water," she said.

"Well I just got off the phone with the electric and the water company," Nicole said. "Luckily the lights and the water will come back on in an hour."

"Great," C.J. said. "We have to wait a whole hour." C.J. is the so far the youngest of the kids and is the first son of Chris and Nicole. C.J. is short for Chris Junior.

"By the time the lights come back on, the food will be too soggy for me to cook," Nicole said. "You guys want some take out?" All the kids said yes. "Well okay then," Chris said. "I'll call Fong's and order some Chinese." Chris was soon stop by his wife. "No. I'll order the food. You have done enough today." The family soon heard a knock on their door. Chris opens it and see a big box sitting right on the doorstep.

"What's up with the box?" Chris said. "What's wrong, honey?" Nicole asked. The entire family was at the front as well.

"Someone left a big box in our doorstep."

"Hey. There's a note," Molly pointed out. Chris grabs it and reads it. "What's it say?" C.J. asked.

"It said," chrris read…

Dear New Neighbors…

Welcome to the neighborhood. To give you a good welcome, here is a box filled with school supplies for the children. Hopefully we'll meet up later on.

"School supplies?" Nicole question. "How many supplies did they put in here?" C.J. asked. When Chris grab a pair of scissors and cut the tape and open the side of a box, they soon realized there was no school supplies. "SUPPLIES." The family jump, but soon relieved after seeing and hearing a familiar face and voice.

"Deema?" Molly said.

"Hey girl." The two best friends both hugged one another and jumped up and down.

"Deema, what are you doing here," Nicole asked. "You don't live here do you?"

"No, but me and my family are staying with Gil and his family while ours is getting fumigated. So what you guys up to?"

"Well we're gonna get some Chinese food."

"Ohhh. Chinese food. Okay. Well see you around." The family say goodbye to Deema as she headed back to Gil's place along with the box.

ONE HOUR LATER

The lights are back on and the Johnsons are at the dinner table eating some Chinese food. "So glad the lights came back on," Nicole said. "Well its been a month since we moved here," Chris said. "How you kids love the new life here?" All the kids said it's great. Everyone was now settled in their house.

"This Chinese food is good," Jen said. "Yeah," C.J. said. "I'm just glad that dad didn't baby proof the food." Everyone laugh at the joke.

"Now kids. Your father just wanted best for your little brother," Nicole said. Wait a minute. Did she say "little brother"?

"Did you say little brother," Olivia asked. Nicole nod. "Yep," she said. "We are having a boy."

"Finally," C.J. said. "I feel weird knowing you have to wake up with girls in your family."

"That's how I feel before your mother had you," Chris said agreeing with his son. Night falls and the family are seen in their rooms getting ready to go to bed. Molly is in her room. Princess (her pet kitten) is seen sleeping right beside her bed. Molly was under the covers in her pajamas. She too is getting ready for bed.

Dear Diary…

This marks the end of the first month in our new house. Already everyone has gotten settled. Jen has already have a boyfriend, my dad has been "baby proofing" the house, C.J. has been going all in with his childish pranks and my mother is just one month due of delivering my new little brother. Yep. She just found out today that's she's having a baby boy. Anyway, I have also got myself settled myself. I have made friends with some of our neighbors' kids. Well…sort of. I have no problem with them, but its like that every time they see me, they end up drooling on themselves. Aww. And speaking of neighbors, my good friend Deema is staying with Gil while her house is getting fumigated. But the point is this…moving to a new neighborhood can be scary but in a while, you will eventually make yourself at home. Well that's all for now. Time for me to go to bed. See you later.

Sincerely,

Molly Johnson aka the Princess of Bubbletucky
