So sorry that it took SO long. I've been really busy with work and spending my last few days of summer with friends before I go back to school. I might start to not update once every week like I was but I will try to update as fast as I can. So now it is time to give out my thanks.
Thanks go to: Sami Hobbes for the name Caylum and the name Sophie, Sonnycooper for the name Sophie, ranimohd91 for the line "getting more interesting then cable", xxLove-Is-Adorablexx for the idea of having Zora involved a lot in this story (you will see in time why that is) and for the idea of Chad having a visitor and lastly for the idea of Zora spying on Chad, rachpop15 for the idea of Zora making another cold-cut catapult.
Searching For Former Clarity
Chapter four
Things A Mama Don't Know
Nico POV
I walked into the living room followed by everyone else after Tawni and Sonny left. Chad was sitting on the couch watching some Saturday morning cartoons with his two youngest sons. He looked quite bored.
"Dylan, Luke, uncle Nico is here!" I yelled with my arms out stretched awaiting their hug. After they hugged me they saw that the other kids were here. "Why don't you kids go play while we talk." I suggested as I made it clear that I wanted to talk to Chad. "Grady you can go too." after I added that my best friend squealed and ran off to play with the kids.
I walked over to Chad and sat beside him. He was flipping through channels on the TV until he found the movie he and Sonny were in when she fist moved back to LA with Mackenzie. I frowned.
"Really, Chip? Don't you think that's a little girly?" I asked looking at him.
"This is the only way I get to see Sonny anymore." He answered flatly.
"you could always just cut the hours down at work." I offered him an idea.
"Whatever. You want some popcorn?" Chad angrily got up and went to the kitchen. While he was in there his phone that he left out on the coffee table began to vibrate. I leaned forward to look at the name on the screen. It said the name was Tiffany. I didn't know he knew a Tiffany.
When Chad came back he set the popcorn down on the couch between us. Grabbing some popcorn I thought about how to bring up the missed phone call.
"Hey, Chad your phone rang while you were in the kitchen." I stated blandly so he wouldn't know I knew something wasn't right. He bent over to look at t he caller I.D. I guess he really doesn't like this Tiffany person because he frowned when he saw the name, or at least I thought.
"Hey. I have to call them back. It's important." Chad got up and left with his phone. I watched him walk back into the kitchen as he dialed the number from memory. I saw Zora get up from where she was hiding behind the couch and sneak over to the archway into the kitchen to eavesdrop on Chad. She looked back over to me and motioned for me to join.
Chad was pacing around the room awaiting for the person to pick up.
"What did you want Tiffany?" Chad rushed when the other person answered. There was a brief silence when Tiffany answered Chad.
"No I can't meet you somewhere." Chad sounded annoyed towards her. Again there was another pause indicating that the Tiffany person was talking.
"Because I told Sonny that I was home for the weekend." Chad huffed in to the phone.
"No I don't think so. I need to spend sometime with my kids." Chad responded after a pause. I had enough of hearing Chad talk to his other women and snuck back over to the couch leaving Zora to continue eavesdropping if she wished.
Chad didn't come back out to the living room for another twenty minutes. He was clearly aggravated by the way he just plopped down on the couch with a frustrated groan. What was up with him? Finally found out that only Hannah Montana can have the best of both worlds? Oh poor Chaddy, not!
"Women. They take everything the wrong way! They never understand what you're really trying to say is something nice. Oh no, they just have to twist our words around." Chad went on ranting about his trouble with his other women. I herd the rumors that he was cheating on Sonny but I never thought that they were true. If I knew it wouldn't hurt Sonny in the long run I would kill his drama king ass.
"Hey is anyone there?" I know someone's home. Let me in." Maybe I don't have to. The person at the door comes with a guarantied battle to the death. I looked at Chad smiling planning my perfect revenge for him two timing my friend who I also consider my sister.
"Don't you even dare." Chad warned me seeing the look I gave him. My smile grew bigger as I jumped off the couch and ran over the door to open it.
"Chase! What's up man? Come on in buddy!" I greeted him getting a weird look in the process. Ok so maybe Chase doesn't really know me, but right now I don't care as long as he puts Chad in his stupid place.
Leaving the two brothers to kill each other I went into the kitchen to see what Zora was doing. You can't trust her to be alone in a room with large sharp objects like a cooking knife. Walking in I found her digging around in some drawers.
"Z, what are you doing in here? Why are you taring Sonny's kitchen apart?" Really I thought we were suppose to be on team Sonny. Wait! Sonny thinking that Chad tore the kitchen apart could make her throw him out. Good plan Zora!
"I'm building another cold cut catapult. Chase the stupid head is going to ruin everything!" Zora yelled at me digging through another drawer. How is Chase going to ruin everything? Oh no she can't have turned team Chad on us! I was about to question Zora when the fight broke out in the living room.
"So what are you even doing here Chase?" Chad screamed causing the kids to come out of the play room they were in to see what was going on.
"I just thought that maybe Sonny might need some company since you're always off with your little home wrecker of a girlfriend!" Chase screamed as I made my way into the living room.
"You take that back!" Chad got right up in his brother's face. Notice he never denied anything that Chase just said to him? Yeah I caught it too. Stupid Chad.
"Why should I? You know it's the truth or you wouldn't have gotten defensive!" Chase had a point there. Chad's face turned red from Chase's statement.
"You. Leave. My. House. NOW!" Chad pointed to the door that was behind Chase.
"Make me." Chase taunted him. Big mistake! At that moment let's just say fist began to fly until two pieces of ham landed on each boy's face. Zora laughed beside me holding her cold cut catapult.
"Nice aiming Zora!" I gave her a high five.
So of course this is the part we're you're all wondering about the kids and how they are after seeing the fight. Yeah I thought so.
"Daddy are you ok?" Lukas sniffled standing by Dylan who looked to be in shock. The twins came down the stairs to see us all standing there.
"Yeah little buddy I'm fine." Chad said wiping the blood from his bottom lip.
"What happened here?" Ali asked as Vicky continued to look around at us.
"Nothing. Me and your dad had a little disagreement." Chase brushed off his shoulders.
"Momma says violence is never the answer." Caylum, Grady's four year old son said. His six year old sister Sophie nodded her head beside him.
"Yeah Chase violence is never the answer and making a se-" Chad stopped and looked at all the young faces plus Grady, "an inappropriate movie is not the answer either!" Chad yelled in his brother's face. This was getting more interesting then cable!
Chad walked over to the door and opened it. He pointed at the open door hoping that Chase would get the clue to leave while he was somewhat ahead this time.
"Come on you made your point, you said what you came here to say now leave." Chad again motioned for his brother to leave. Chase stood there and debated for a moment before deciding to leave.
"Why did he come over here anyway?" I asked puzzled. They were on a 'whenever you see me don't talk to me' basis last time I checked.
"To say that Chandler and his family are coming into town and our parents want to have a family dinner with their four happily married children and their twelve adorable grandchildren." Chad exaggerated throwing his hands up in the air. All the kids seemed to vanish at once. If I had a chance I probably would too. "How am I suppose to tell Sonny? She's all mad at me and my parents want a happy couple at there house." Chad seemed really torn up about this.
"Sorry bro you're going to have to handle this one by yourself." I said remembering that I hated him right now for cheating on Sonny.
I was about to ask Chad about his cheating ways when the front door opened again. Who could it be this time, the freaking Easter bunny?
"We're back!" Nope worse, my wife Tawni and Chad's other worst nightmare, an aggravated angry Sonny. Well, happy knowing you Chad.
"Kids, and Grady we're leaving!" Bye bye Chaddy boy!
SO yeah sorry it took me so long but please review.
