Chapter 55…
Dusty was sitting at al's,talking to his wife as she was working,when craig walked in with johnny;"Hi,guys."
"Hi,craig."said janet before looking with a smile at johnny;"Hi,johnny."
"I had no idea that you were still working here,janet."replied her friend with a smile as he turned towards dusty;"Is your business a bit slow these days,dusty?"
"My business is doing fine and my wife works here because she wants to,craig,not because she has to."answered he,wanting to make a really nasty comment when he saw the warning look on janet's face,and decided to let it go,so he turned to johnny with a smile;"Hey,buddy,when are you coming to us for another sleep-over and to play with lorenzo again?"
"Today."smiled johnny as he looked at his father;"Can i,daddy,can i?"
"Ofcourse,johnny,if you want to."replied craig;"If that's okay with janet and dusty."
"Ofcourse it is."said his friend and smiled her husband;"We'd love to have johnny over at the house anytime."
"We sure do."smiled dusty;"What time do you want me to pick you up,buddy?"
"Can i go now,daddy?"asked he,giving craig a begging look;"Can i?"
"Sure."answered his father with a faint smile;"If dusty isn't too busy."
"I'm never to busy for johnny."replied he with a big grin on his face and got up;"Come on,buddy,let's go."
"I will drop off a overnight-bag later."said craig while he gave johnny a hug;"And i will pick you up for breakfast in the morning,johnny."
"Bye,daddy."smiled his son as he walked away with dusty;"Bye,janet."
"Bye,johnny."answered she and turned towards craig with a surprised look;"That was really nice of you,craig,thank you."
"You're welcome and i hope that you will all realize someday that i'm not such a bad guy or atleast not the whole time."said her friend;"I'm trying my best to be a good father and to handle things better this time around."
"I hope so,craig,i really do."replied janet;"Especially for your son."
Back in milltown rosanna was preparing for dinner when her nephew came home;"Hi,aunt rosanna,where's mom?"
"She's upstairs,taking a nap."answered she;"Where's your sister?"
"Outside,playing i think."said parker;"Is mom okay?"
"Sure she is,parker,why wouldn't she be?"asked his aunt surprised about his question;"Your parents told me that her bloodpressure is finally dropping a bit and that she and the baby are doing well according to the doctor,so why do you think that she isn't okay?"
"No reason."replied he quickly;"Did they tell you that j.j. is coming home soon?"
"Yes,they did."answered rosanna;"Your dad said that he will be home before the baby is born."
"J.j. told me that he doesn't want to stay there anymore and that wants to transfer back to school here."said her nephew;"It would be nice to have him back again."
"Has he told your parents that yet?"asked she curious;"I'm sure that they would be thrilled to have him back forgood again,especially your mom."
"I don't know if he told them yet."started parker hesitating;"It would be nice for mom to have j.j. back again,especially with me going to the academy after the summer."
"Is everything okay,parker?"said his aunt as she noticed a worried look on his face;"You seem worried about something."
"I don't know."answered he;"Maybe i'm just worried about mom and the baby because of her bloodpressure beeing so high the whole time or something."
"Your mother's gonna be fine and so will the baby."smiled rosanna and gave her nephew a hug;"And with j.j. coming home again things will be perfect again."
