Honeymoon!!!!! :) Check out April Rhodes: Paying the RENT.
It was the second day of Olive and Ned's Honeymoon and Olive was already homesick.
"Ned I want to go home." Olive moaned holding her stomach.
"Olive this is only our second day here!" Ned said picking out some clothes for the days actives.
"I don't feel good Ned. I just want to go home." Olive groined flopped down on the bed face down in the pillow.
"Olive." Ned lied down next to her. "You really need to stop stressing about everything."
"Your right." Olive smiled as she rolled over on top of the Pie Maker kissing him. There was a no use in arguing with him. There was a knock on the door.
"Busy come back later!" Ned yelled pulling Olive closer to him.
"Sir it is important." The voice called from outside the door.
"Alright I'll get it." Olive jumps out of bed and runs to the door.
"Hello madam." The man said holding his hand out to greet her.
"Hi. Um what is so important?" Olive asks shaking the man's hand.
"Well madam you and your husband I presume have to leave."
"Why?!" Ned jumps up.
"Hurricane." The man said quickly. "It is headed this way and we have the orders to evacuate the island."
"Ok thanks." Ned said as he started to pack the suitcases. Just as Olive closed the door the phone rang.
"Hey, it's me" Olive heard April's voice on the other end of the line.
"Hey! What's up?" Olive smiled, happy to her April was ok.
"When do I move in? The Bohemians helped me pack and then told me not to lift heavy stuff. What was that all about??"
"Yah you can get hurt moving heavy stuff and move in as soon as you can… which means now."
"Huh. I've never heard about that. What else should I NOT do?"
"Get stressed out... oh by the way don't freak when I tell you that Ned and I are coming home." Olive suggested.
"Well I guess I did THAT wrong. Why? Was the Caribbean THAT bad?"
"Um... well we have to evacuate hurricane I guess"
"There's a hurricane there? Well, gotta get moving. You're the one who wanted me to move next to you right now. See you at home… when?"
"Let me ask Ned. One second." Olive turns around to Ned who is packing. "Ned when are we going to get home."
"Tomorrow." Ned said dryly and continued to pack.
"He says tomorrow. We have to call Emerson so he can pick us up at the airport." Olive says happily to April.
"No, I can tell him, I just can't pick you up."
"Thanks April well Ned says I have to go I will talk to when I get home." Olive says looking at Ned who is standing in the door with suitcases in hand.
"Sure. I need to take my stuff to our new apartment anyway."
"OLIVE LET'S GOO!" Ned says impatiently.
"Alright Ned! Gosh can't you see that I'm talking to April! Bye April." Olive hangs up the phone.
"Olive it is starting to rain." Ned points out the window. "That means that the hurricane is getting closer! We need to go now!"
"Sorry." Olive and Ned both hurry out the door.
Olive and Ned walk out of Paypen County Airport exhausted.
"Do you see Emerson's car?" Ned asked looking around the front of the parking lot.
"MOMMY!"
Olive and Ned turn around to see Emerson, Nathan and Carrie walking towards them.
"Carrie!" Olive smiled and picked her up.
"Mommy! Emerson was funny!" Carrie smiles brightly.
"That is great honey." Olive smiles and looks up at Emerson. "Thank you Emerson."
"Those two are a lot of work. And it is four in the morning can we please go home?" Emerson sighed.
"Yah sure." Ned said throwing some bags in the car.
"Mommy…" A small voice said. Olive turns her attention to Nathan who was smiling widely. "Mommy." He repeated.
"HIS FIRST WORD!" Olive screeched looking at Ned who was smiling.
"Welcome back! Then again, you've only been gone for like four days." April laughs and hugs Olive.
"Yah I have missed you. How's Mark?" Olive asks smiling.
"Um… in shock."
"Still?"
"Surprisingly, yes. He keeps watching staring at my stomach. It gets kinda awkward. I think he's beginning to get used to it. Now he's just worried."
"Well I think he will get use to it at some point."
"He now just seems... scared. Worried. Ya get it."
"Yah makes sense."
"Look, there he is now. Look at his face and you'll see what I mean."
"He looks terrible," Olive laughs. "He looks so freaked out right now."
"He hasn't been sleeping. And then he feels bad when I start puking my guts out."
"Aww poor guy."
"I keep telling him it's fine and everything but he still won't sleep and actually, he didn't eat yesterday."
"That's not good."
"You think you or Ned could talk to him? He's not listening to me."
"Yah I will."
"Thanks, Olive. I think he needs it."
"What? Me? Huh?" Mark looks confused.
"Mark we need to talk." Olive says quickly.
"Uh, okay. About what?" Mark asked with a blank expression.
"About April."
"Okay…"
"You need to stop getting all worried about her."
"I know, but she's only 19 with year old twins, we're all broke, here's a hole in the roof at our apartment and the twins are sleeping in the film room." Mark explains.
"I will get someone to fix the hole. I know she is 19 but she loves the twins with all of her heart and she is going to love the baby the same way so there is nothing to worry about." Olive assures.
"Are you sure? She told me about what happened to you with Nathan."
"Which part? Me fainting or me running away?" Olive asks unsure about what April told him.
"Both, actually. I meant you fainting though."
"Well Mark you worrying is making April stress out and we don't want her dying do we?"
"No, we don't. I did notice April has been taking a lot of her pills lately."
"See she is stressed so start eating and sleeping!" Olive sighs pointing out the obvious.
"I know I probably should. I can't think straight anymore."
"Good boy. And if you need anything just ask me or Ned."
"Maybe a sleeping pill? I swear I've been trying to."
"Yah I have some in my apartment we can go get some now if you want."
"Yeah, thanks. That might really help."
"Follow me... " Olive walks into the apartment.
"Nathan say dog!" Carrie demands shows her brother a picture of a dog.
"Can Nathan speak yet?" Mark asked looking over at the smiling baby.
"Oh no, the only thing he can say is mom. But Carrie demands that he say Carrie or dog." Olive laughs pulling out the pills.
Mark smiles. "Either I'm away too much or we're doing something wrong because I've never heard the twins say anything."
"Maybe you should try it sometime. It is fun." Olive smiles back and hands him the pills.
"Well, thanks anyway. Maybe I will try it."
April walks in the room quickly. "So did it work?"
"Yah he should be ok now." Olive replies.
"Thanks, I wasn't sure what to do about him. By the way, I heard the whole conversation." April admits.
"Well that was the typically Snook thing." Olive smiles looking over at Carrie's small attempts to make her brother speak again.
"Huh?" April gives Olive a confused look.
"To spy, listen in on conversations those kinds of things. I mean look" Olive points over to Carrie. "Look at her she is trying to hid from Nathan she thinks he will talk if she isn't looking."
"Oh, hehe. Yeah, I do that."
"So do I. It runs in the family I guess."
"Strange habits we Snook's have." April ponders. "Guess it fits with the last name Snook. Should I start calling myself April Snook???"
"Not strange mostly bad habits. But not as strange as Emerson's hobby." Olive laughs. "Whatever you want April I can't tell you if you should change your last name or not." Olive adds thinking about the possibility of April having the same last name as her.
"True. I snuck into his office once and watched him knit for five minutes while stifling laughter. Yeah, Codfish caught me." April explained. "It was pretty fun to see Emerson knit. He looked so funny doing it!"
"You know what I'm surprised that Nathan didn't come home saying 'money' or 'yarn'." Olive laughed thinking about it.
"That would scare me a little. Money, I mean. Not yarn."
"Thank god that he didn't come home like that then." Olive threw her hands up.
"There's a reason I'm not letting him near Chardonnay and Sherry."
"He is really good around kids surprisingly I have no idea why thought."
"I know, I don't get it. He is so annoying and I don't think my kids should know he calls me Itty Bitty Hooker. That might be a problem."
"Yah a huge problem. Hmm I think he is hiding something and I want you to help me find out what it is."
"Of course! May I add that he still hates me?"
"I know he isn't fond of me either."
"At least he doesn't call you a hooker all the time. That's why I call him Codfish."
"Good one." Olive laughs.
"Auntie April!" Carrie squeals in excitement finally noticing her Aunt who was standing in the room.
"Well how else can I bug him?" April asks picking up Carrie.
"He doesn't like parties or surprises." Olive suggested.
"Fish doesn't like mommy and April?" Carrie asked.
"Hmmm... " April gives Olive a mischief grin. "Maybe I'll use one. No, Cookie. Fish doesn't like us."
"How would you use one of them?" Olive asks.
"Fish like pop-ups!" Carrie smiles.
"Yes, Fish likes pop-ups. I'm still working on it. Maybe I should go to that one restaurant and tell them it's his birthday. They do all that crazy stuff. I'm good at this kind of stuff, messing with people."
The thought of a restaurant reminded Olive of Lauren. She forgot to go back and say hi. "I know the perfect place! Oh look at the time better get going April." Olive says quickly picking up Nathan and puts him in his stroller. She wanted to go to Lauren's Café as soon as she could.
"Oh, sure. Bye, Olive."
"Oops!" April puts Carrie down.
"Come on Carrie let's get your shoes on."
"No." Carrie pouted.
"Cookie, don't start that again. You need to go with mommy." April stated.
"No. no. NO!" Carrie yells as she stomps her tiny feet.
"Carrie stop acting up! Go get your shoes on." Olive demanded.
"Cookie, what are you doing? You're as stubborn as mommy. Or me. Or a Snook." April asked.
"I want to stay here! I want to see Daddy!" Carrie yelled.
"Daddy is working right now Carrie." Olive tried to explain to her daughter.
"Cookie, you can't see daddy now. Actually, I probably should get back to him. I need to SERVE the pies!" April tries to explain. Carrie sat down and started to cry.
"Come on Carrie, don't cry. Mommy has to go now please can you get your shoes on so we can go." Olive begged the small girl.
"I don't think I can wait on tables and watch her. Is Emerson eating pie today?"
"I'm not sure I will take her down there anyways and if he is then she will stay with him. If he isn't she is coming with me shoes or no shoes." Olive said grabbing her coat and putting it on quickly.
"I think that works. Come on, Cookie. You might get to stay. If Fish is there." April walk to the door.
"Fish!" Carrie yelled as she jumped up and ran to the door.
Olive, April, Carrie and Nathan make their way down the Pie Hole. April gets apron and looks around. "EMERSON! CODFISH! WHERE ARE YA??"
"What do you want Itty Bitty Hooker?!" Emerson calls from his booth.
"Shut up Codfish. We need ya need to watch Cookie." April picks up Carrie and plops her in Emerson's lap.
"Carrie?" Emerson questioned.
"Thanks Emerson. Thanks April. Bye Carrie." Olive said as she walked out the door with Nathan in his stroller.
