Chapter 10: Surprise Party

The lights went on and Nick screamed. I started laughing hysterically. There were about 50 people in the Jonas' living room. More than half of them I didn't recognize. "Megan, did you know about this?"

"Possibly," I said. Nick gave me a hug and Joe and Kevin came up to us.

"Happy birthday, little bro," Joe and Kevin said, giving their little brother a hug.

"Megan, would you like to meet some of our family?" Nick asked.

"Sure," I replied. I met their Uncle Ross, his wife Aunt Karen and their sons Duane, Peter and Alex first from their dad's side.

"Nick, your girlfriend's pretty," 5-year-old cousin, Alex said. We all laughed. I met more of the Jonas and Parker family.

Nick's grandma on Mr. Jonas' side came up to me and said, "Nick, is this your girlfriend Miley?" Kevin and Joe, who were standing nearby, started laughing hysterically. Nick turned red and told his grandma that he broke up with Miley. "O, that's good. I never really liked her too much." I stifled laughter, along with everyone else around us.

Nick was talking to one of his other uncles when Kevin pulled me aside. "Megan," he said. "Katherine's coming. I called her to come up here and surprise Joe."

"What? Kevin that's so nice!"

"Shhh, he doesn't know about it. She's on her way here now in an airplane. Can you go get her when she gets here?"

"Sure. What time does her plane land."

"Tonight, like around 8. So we have 2 hours. I'm going to pick her up from the airport. Can you distract Joe?"

"Of course. Kevin, you're the nicest big brother ever," I said. Kevin blushed and left to talk to Garbo and the rest of the band. I went to find Nick. He was in the kitchen talking to some older girls.

"Hey babe," he said when he saw me. "These are my older cousins Sarah and Christine."

"Hey," I said.

"O my gosh, I have the funniest pictures of Nick when he was little. When our parents went out, Kevin and I would babysit Joe, Nick and Christine. Frankie wasn't born yet," Sarah said. "Would you like to see them? I think I actually have some videos I took on my video camera too."

"O it's OK, I'm sure Megan doesn't want to see those," Nick said.

"Haha, of course I want to see them." Sarah, Christine, Nick and I walked up to the guest bedroom and Sarah pulled her laptop out of her bag. She opened a folder titled Babysitting and opened one of the video files.

Nick was standing there in a diaper, he looked like he was about a year old. "Sawa (which is how he pronounced Sarah), Joe took Herbert and I don't know where it is."

A younger Sarah laughed and said. "Nick, your stuffed dinosaur is under the kitchen table."

"It was! But Joe took it from me!" little Nick yelled. He still had his crazy brown curls.

"Nick. Go look under the kitchen table for Herbert."

"Sawa! It's not under there! Joe took it!"

"No I didn't!" I heard a younger Joe yell.

"Yes you did, Joe!" Nick yelled. Nick ran up the steps of his New Jersey home and ran (more like waddled) down the hallway to Joe's room and banged on the door. "Joe! Open the door! I want Herbert!"

"NEVER!" Joe yelled.

"Joe, open the door," Sarah said.

"Sawa! I WANT HERBET!" Nick cried.

Sarah forced the door open and found Joe sitting on his bed. He was 4 years old and wearing blue footy pajamas. "Joseph, where's Herbert?" Sarah asked.

"I'm not telling," Joe said, crossing his arms. Nick started kicking and screaming on the floor.

"SAWA! SAWA! I WANT HERBERT!"

"Joseph, where's Herbert?" Sarah demanded.

"I'm not telling," Joe said, leaving the room. Nick was still rolling around on the floor. Sarah picked him up and walked downstairs.

"Kevin, where's Joe?" Sarah asked a younger Kevin who was sitting on the couch.

"I don't know," Kevin said. Nick maneuvered out of Sarah's arms and sat next to Kevin.

"KEVIN! You have Herbert!" Nick yelled, running to the other side of the couch. He picked up is little stuffed dinosaur and hugged it. "Kevin, I'm never talking to you again!" he squeaked and stomped off.

Kevin didn't even notice what Nick had said, he just continued watching Catdog on the TV. "So Nick, are you going to say sorry to me?" Joe asked from the other room.

"NO!" Nick yelled.

"Sarah, Nick isn't going to say sorry for yelling at me," Joe complained.

"Joe, it's 8 o'clock. You and Nick should be going to bed.

"I don't want to go to bed!" Joe and Nick yelled. Nick stormed off to his room and slammed the door. A few seconds later we heard him scream. "JOE!" Sarah ran into the room and saw Nick crying on the floor with apple juice running down his cheeks. "Sawa! Joe poured apple juice on my head!"

"Joseph Adam Jonas! Where are you?" Sarah yelled. Joseph came out of the closet, smiling. Nick got up off the ground and tried to attack Joe. "Joe, go to bed. I'm going to go give Nick a bath."

Joe got under the covers and Sarah turned off the camera. "I can't believe you watched that," Nick said from the doorway.

I laughed. "Nick, you were so cute when you were a baby," I said.

"Yeah, what happened?" Sarah asked. Sarah and I laughed. I looked at my watch. It was 7:30. Kevin had just left for the airport to pick up Katherine. We all walked downstairs and continued making fun on Nick.

"Hey guys, where's Kevin?" Joe asked.

"Umm, I don't know," Nick said.

"What do you want to do?" Sarah asked.

"O MY GOSH, GUYS! GUESS WHAT?" Joe yelled.

"O god, here it comes…" I said to Nick.

"Guess what I bought at the store!" silence. "I BOUGHT A PIÑATA!" No one shared his enthusiasm. "Come on, let's go outside!" Joe got all of his little cousins together and they ran outside. Joe was first in line. Everyone was hitting the piñata with no luck of getting it down. When it was Nick's turn, he smacked it with all of his might and it exploded and candy flew everywhere. Joe was the first one down there to get the candy. He filled all of his pockets and pushed his little cousins out of the way.

"Joe, you're so mean to your family," someone said from behind us.

Joe turned around and saw Katherine standing there by Kevin. He ran towards her and gave her a hug. "What are you doing here?"

"Kevin called me and I came in to see you!"

Joe seemed overwhelmed to see her. He picked her up and swung her around. "You're really light," Joe told her.

"Either that or you're really strong," Katherine replied. Joe turned around and remembered that his entire family was still watching him.

"Joseph, is this your girlfriend AJ?" his grandma asked. We all laughed and walked back inside.
