CONTINUATION OF...The Dinner. Part 3 - The End of the Flashback


Jasmine lifted her head and could smell the sweet perfume of her room, jasmine scents of course, and she rolled over to her back. Just then, there was a knock at the door. She quickly sat up and fixed her silky nightware.

"Who is it?" The door slowly began to open. At first Jasmine was mad because no one entered without saying who they were. But as she could see Aladdin's head poking through, her frown turned upside down. "Aladdin! Good morning!" she brightly said and was immediately filled with butterflies in her stomach.

"Good morning, my Princess. Care for breakfast?" he asked, casually letting himself in, shutting the door behind him and placing himself on the bed next to her.

"Ohhh would I!" she answered, positioning herself to face him as he sat down the tray of food. Jasmine looked at all there was to eat and was starving, yet nervous that Aladdin was acting this way. It reminded her of when they were first married.

"Let's see... I have bagels, and all the toppings of course, fruit, toast and orange juices. What would you like first?" he politely asked. Jasmine was thrilled.

"Hmmmmm it all sounds ssssoooo good! How about...some toast!" she said, not once thinking of putting on her overthrow to cover up her very revealing silky lingerie.

"Butter, jam, jelly...?" Aladdin asked, picking up the toast and knife.

"Butter and...grape jelly please!" she asked, licking her lips. She watched Aladdin carefully spread the condiments and then hand it to her. "Thank you!" she said and took a bite as Aladdin prepared another piece for himself. "May I have a drink, please?" she asked and he handed her a glass of orange juice. As she sipped, she watched Aladdin eat. "So..." she started, finishing her toast. "What is all this for?" Aladdin finished his own piece and took a gulp of juice.

"Because..." he began, smiling at her. "I love you." He leaned forward and kissed her. "And it's time to eat breakfast!" She laughed and pointed to a strawberry. Aladdin picked it up and placed half of it in his mouth.

"Come get it..." he tried to say. She started laughing again and bit the other half, their lips touching slightly. They were soon both laughing. Aladdin bit off his half, leaving her the other part to eat.

Aladdin Jr. walked past the royal bedroom. He could hear laughs from both of them and drew to conclusions quickly. He was enraged and quickly ran to get the rest of his siblings.

As he entered his room, he hit the pager.

"CODE 6! CODE 6! Hurry up! To the RB!" he shouted and ran back to the royal bedroom where his siblings were now gathering.

"What is it?" Little Jasmine said, brushing her hair back. Tiny Jasmine pushed her sister over to fit in the circle.

"Yea, what's wrong, bro?" she chimed. Aladdin 3rd appeared and the two little ones also.

"Guys....SHHHHHHHH and listen..." he whispered. They all grew silent. In the bedroom they could hear laughing.

"It's mom and EX-dad!" Teeny Jasmine loudly stated.

"SSSHHHHHHH!!!" the rest sounded to her. She covered her mouth.

"What are they doing?" Tiny Jasmine asked. The two eldest gave her glares.

"What does it sound like they're doing, silly?!" Little Jasmine said. They were all quiet again. Then Tiny Jasmine's eyes lit up.

"OH REALLY?!?" She shouted.

"SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" the other siblings noised.

"EEEEWWWW, nuh-uh! No they're not!" Aladdin 4th whispered.

"They better not be, cuz I'm bustin in!" Aladdin Jr. said.

"NO! You can't do that! It's taboo!" Little Jasmine stated.

"I don't care! I don't want him hurting our mom again! I won't allow it!!!" He said and opened the door.

Jasmine and Aladdin quickly turned their heads to the door to see their 6 children looking in. Everyone was silent. Jasmine looked on the floor around the bed for her overthrow and quickly put it on. Aladdin got off the bed as fast as he could. Aladdin Jr. stepped in.

"What's going on here?!" he demanded. Little Jasmine followed him.

"Geez! Give them some privacy! You're so rude!" she said. Aladdin 3rd was pushed in by Tiny Jasmine.

"Were you two-"

"TINY JASMINE!" Little Jasmine said, cupping her younger sisters mouth. Aladdin 4th walked in and Teeny Jasmine followed.

"What are you doing mom?" Teeny Jasmine asked. Aladdin 4th stood next to her.

"Yea dad, what are you doing?" he asked. Teeny Jasmine looked at her twin.

"It's EX-Dad, remember?" she scolded.

"I forgot!" he said shrugging his shoulders. She hit him on the head. The room was noisy with argument. Jasmine smiled and began to laugh. Everyone was now quiet again.

"Jasmine?" Aladdin asked. She patted the bed and Aladdin sat back down next to her.

"I love you...all of you." she said and smiled. "It's like family again." she happily stated. Everyone smiled. They couldn't help it. Even Aladdin Jr. began to smile. But as he saw his father put his arm around his mom, he became enraged again.

"Mom what are you doing with him?!" he yelled. The moment was ruined. His siblings all rolled their eyes, but sat down on the bed and ate some fruit. "He's been so wrong to you! How can you just accept him like this?!" he shouted. The siblings began to talk again but Aladdin was still listening to his son. Aladdin stood up and walked over to his boy. "What? What do you have to say?" Aladdin Jr. asked. Aladdin put his arm around his eldest son and led him out of the room. Jasmine smiled knowing that somehow everything would be alright.

**************************************************************************

Aladdin led his son through the hallways and started to talk to him.

"Son, where is all this anger coming from?" Aladdin Jr. was silent. When Aladdin turned to him, he could see tears in his eyes.

"I missed you!" Aladdin Jr. broke. They hugged and Aladdin felt so happy inside. "Why -- why did you have to do that to us?!" he questioned, hoping for an answer.

"Son, I don't know! I wish I did!" He pulled their hug apart and looked into his big boy's eyes. "I made a mistake, and I'm the first to admit it, okay? But I've put it behind me! There's nothing I can do to change it so why keep it living? It's happened and it's done with. That 'whore' is going to DP and she'll be out of our lives for a while." Aladdin Jr. laughed a bit. "Your mom forgave me. Will you do the same?" Aladdin Jr. looked pensive, but smiled and hugged his dad again.

"Of course, DAD." he answered.

**************************************************************************

The two guys walked back into the bedroom where the girls and their two brothers were chatting and eating fruit. Jasmine was listening intently to each conversation and joining in, not being able to recollect the last time they had done anything like this. Aladdin sat on the bed next to Jasmine, but Aladdin Jr. just stood at the door staring at everyone.

"So this is it? We all just forget about it and move on?" The siblings stared at their brother and Aladdin and Jasmine looked to each other. Then Aladdin Jr. smiled. "Because that's what I'm doing." he proudly stated. Everyone smiled and Aladdin Jr. hopped on the bed with the others, talking and eating fruit. Aladdin and Jasmine touched heads and smiled at each other.

"It seems as if nothing can go wrong now," Aladdin said, pushing Jasmine's hair behind her ears. She smiled brightly and kissed him.
