Chapter 14
As the doorbell rang Eva ran excitedly to the door, "She's here, she's here!" She yelled and after looking though the blinds she opened the door and ran straight into her best friend "Come on Violet!" She practically dragged her into the house, "We're going to have so much fun!"
"Wow, wow Eva," Laura put a hand on her daughter's shoulder, "Calm down I know you're excited but Ms. Nelson is going to think all you eat is sugar," She laughed.
"Oh that's alright," Christie stepped into the house, "Eva's good for Violet, Violet's so shy but when she's with Eva she talks a little more."
"Come on Violet!" Eva waited impatiently for her friend to take off her shoes, "Come and see what Mommy helped me set up in the basement! We're going to sleep in a tent! And Mommy's going to order pizza and Diego's not allowed downstairs!"
"Eva let Violet say goodbye to her mother first," Laura told her.
"Opps, sorry," Eva lowered her head and backed away.
"Bye Mommy," Violet tightly hugged her mother. She'd never been to a sleepover before and she was really worried she'd get scared and need to come home.
"Bye sweetie," She hugged her and then whispered, "If you need to come home just call me; Eva won't be upset."
Violet just kept hugging her mother and gave her a kiss before following Eva into the basement. "I made that sign," Eva announced proudly pointing to the sign on the door, "Mommy helped me with the spelling though, It says no Boys allowed but Daddy. Mommy says I can't tell Daddy what to do. Daddy took Diego out for dinner but they'll be home later."
"Oh," Violet commented and looked around the basement. It was set up with a pink tent and lots of board games and toys and of course the TV and a wide selection of VHS tapes.
"What do you want to do?" Eva asked excitedly.
"I don't care," Violet answered; she didn't like making decisions and she really didn't care what they did.
"No you need to pick!" Eva frowned, "You're the guest!"
"But I don't know!" She yelled in return as she began to cry.
"Hey, hey," Laura walked down the stairs and gave her daughter a frown, "You know you don't make your friends cry Eva."
"Mommy she won't pick something to do!" Eva complained miserably.
"Well that's not something to get upset about; you jut need to talk things out. But I have a surprise for both of you, I called Aunt Gabby and it turns out her study session was cancelled so she can come and play with you too after all. She'll be here soon and she's bringing pizza and lots of candy. She said you girls go and get some hair things and nail polish and she'll do you hair and nails well you watch movies.
"YAY!" Eva and Violet cheered happily and then Violet followed Eva upstairs to her room to get everything they needed.
After the girls had left Christie had told her that Violet has never been to a sleepover before and that she was nervous and really scared; Christie knew she'd be fine but she said Violet had been crying on the way over. Laura had promised to keep a close eye on them and then decided to call Gabby. Her sister in-law had a study session after her classes finished but she called to ask her if she could come over after; As it tuned out Gabby's study session had been cancelled so she was just going o call Laura and tell her she'd be coming over.
Eva and Violet were busy playing house when Gabby walked down the stairs, the girls were to caught up in their game to notice her so she took the opportunity to take some pictures for Matt. It was one thing to have pictures of the posing but another to see them actually playing.
"Auntie Gabby!" Eva was the first to see her and she ran up to her, "Come play with us!" She tugged on her hand.
"Alright, alright," Gabby nodded, "Who should I be?" She wondered.
"The babysitter," Violet told her, "I'm the Daddy and Eva's the Mommy. You can look after our babies."
"Yeah, were going out on a fancy date," Eva proclaimed.
"Oh," Gabby couldn't help but hold in her laughter.
"Yeah and here's the baby," Violet ran off to her bag and came back with the doll that Matt sent her.
Eva stared at it; it was unlike any doll she'd ever seen before; she thought it was ugly but she knew it would hurt Violet's feelings if she told her that. Gabby seeing the confusion on her nieces face said, "Uncle Matt sent it for her. A little girl there made it."
Eva's face suddenly turned to anger and she frowned deeply, "I didn't; get one!"
"Eva," Gabby looked at her sternly, "Violet's Uncle Matt's niece. You know that."
"Auntie Gabby!" Diego rushed to his aunt at top speed.
Eva stared at her brother and took her anger out on him, "Diego you're stupid! Can't you read the sign! It says no boys! Now go away!"
"No!" Diego shouted, "Mommy! Daddy!" He yelled.
"Hey, hey," Gabby attempted to calm him down, "Lets go upstairs alright."
"No!" He shook his head, "Stay here. Stay here."
"No!" Eva shouted.
"Hey!" Antonio and Laura walked into the room both frowning, "What's going on here?"
"Diego can't read! The sign says no boys! He's a boy! I hate boys!"
"Eva," Laura scolded, "You be nice to your brother, now you know better then to misbehave like that especially when you have friends over. You're making Violet very uncomfortable."
"No." Violet shook her head shyly, "I'm used to listening to yelling; my parents fought all the time."
"Why?" Diego asked.
"Because Daddy said Mommy didn't trust him," Violet explained, "I always listened to them fight after I was supposed to be sleeping."
"Do they still fight?" Eva wondered.
"Daddy left," Violet responded, "I haven't seen him in a long time."
"Will your Daddy come back?" Eva wondered, "Is it like when Daddy goes to play pretend?" She looked at her parents hopefully.
"No, no I don't think its like when I go undercover," Antonio told her.
"Hey," Laura attempted to change the topic of conversation, "How would you girls like to help me bake some cupcakes."
"Yes!" They both cheered happily.
"Alright, Eva go and show Violet where we keep all of your baking and cooking supplies in the kitchen," Laura instructed her daughter and in a flash Eva was off with Violet running behind her.
Later that night after making the cupcakes and then having dinner Eva and Violet were rucking into the sleeping bags watching Cinderella and eating some fruit and their cupcake they made form themselves.
"She's so pretty," Violet smiled happily as she looked at Cinderella.
"She is," Eva nodded.
"Eva!" Diego ran in front of the TV and piled on top of his older sister, "Goodnight!"
"Diego!" She squealed, "Diego you wreck everything," She mumbled.
"Sorry," He lowered his lip and began to cry.
"Oh," Eva sighed, "It's okay. Are you going to bed?"
"Uh-huh," He nodded, "Goodnight," He hugged her tightly and kissed her cheek.
Eva hugged him but then thought of a good idea, "Cinderella is almost finished. Go ask Mommy and Daddy if you can stay here? We can watch Toy Story."
"I think that's a great idea," Laura walked into view, "But Diego might get pretty tired; how about we all watch the movie, Daddy and Auntie Gabby too."
"Okay," Eva smiled.
"Good idea," Violet also smiled.
They let the girls finish watching Cinderella and then Antonio put in the movie Toy Story and Diego snuggled into Eva's sleeping bag with her well the adults sat on the couch.
Half way through the movie Diego had fallen asleep with his head on Eva's pillow and clutching his favourite blanket as he sucked his thumb. By the time the movie was finished Eva and Violet had fallen asleep as well and Gabby decided she couldn't help it but take some pictures of the kids together, she knew Matt would love it.
