Evan stood next to John while Randy went over everything with his parents about keeping Alanna in sight. Also any odds and ends that they might not know but they probably did know. Alanna was standing beside him dressed in pink with a matching pink Hello Kitty suit case in her hand.
Evan thought she looked adorable. He noticed Randy whisper something to his mother and a smile break out a across her face. She glanced over at Evan and waved. Evan waved back and figured Randy told her about their relationship. It was good to see that smile, it meant his parents well at least his mother approved and that once the custody case was over there wouldn't be much hiding of their relationship.
Randy bent down to Alanna, and Evan could hear him going over to the rules. He warned her there would be bad things that happen if she didn't listen and a promise of going to a theme park if she obeyed. Evan didn't know of any parks like Randy was describing in Missouri. Must be some out of state one, he made a mental note to ask later.
Once Randy's parents left they all made a once over in Randy's house making sure things were tidy and that none of them left anything important. The three of them with luggage in hand made their way out to the taxi once and Randy locked the house and set the alarm.
John sat in the front seat of the cab and Randy and Evan in the back. "You sure about coming Randy?" John looked over his shoulder at the tattooed man.
Randy coming to the house shows or staying home with Alanna so he could be there for her visitation with Samantha had been the topic of breakfast. After sleeping on it Randy was still worried about leaving Alanna but he knew he had too. If he got full custody and she had visitations he couldn't be there for all of them and something could still happen even after the final verdict.
"I'm sure John," Randy sighed. "I'm going to be worried until after I get a call from my folks once the visitation is over. But it has to be done."
"That's understandable," Evan placed a hand on Randy's knee and squeezed it. "But keep positive it will be ok."
"Thanks Evan, and you to John," Randy smiled.
"So," Evan decided to change the subject. "What theme park are you taking her too?"
"Well WE," Randy began putting the emphasis on we so Evan realized he was going too. "Are going to visit Uncle John here and go to Disney for a four day vacation!"
"Seriously, that's awesome," Evan smiled as Randy wrapped a big arm around him.
"Yep, you guys are all coming to my place once the custody is finalized," John grinned. "Randy's been plotting this for a while.
"Been using this for Alanna to make her behave for about a month now," Randy laughed. "But I promised her so we're going. I've even took her shopping for clothes and shoes to wear. I got one of those vacation planning kits too."
"Wow everything is all planned then," Evan was really excited of the idea of going on a vacation with Randy and John.
"Pretty much, maybe you could help me finalize a few things when we get back home," Randy added as the taxi pulled into the airport.
"Yeah, I could on Wednesday. I have plans with my brother Mike on Tuesday," Evan offered secretly wishing if hadn't made plans with his brother as he would like more time with Randy.
"That works," Randy open his door as the car went into park. They gathered their bags and went through all the airport hassle. Evan was wondering where things for him and Randy headed because to him it seemed like all paths were good ones. Well expect one path and that was the one without Alanna.
Evan was amazed how quickly he fell in love with Randy's daughter. He never saw himself as a father but back when he started dating Randy he knew that being a father figure might come into play because he knew of Alanna. But he just wasn't sure if Randy would let Evan near Alanna. Due to it taking so long before Randy introduced him to Alanna or rather Evan finding her.
But that mystery had been solved and Evan was pleasantly surprised that he had been in Randy's plans to meet Alanna, it just happen sooner than expected. But it all went well, and Alanna seemed to like him. It made Evan wonder if he should tell Mike about Randy or wait.
Waiting seem like the more appropriate option for now. It wasn't like Randy had asked him to move in or anything. He just would be spending more time at Randy's house and with his family. Evan wasn't even sure he was ready to move in with Randy yet, only time would tell.
Once they were all seated on the plane they all relaxed because there was no going back to Randy's house now. Now a weekend of house shows and weekly tapings awaited them.
