Chapter 14
"Who is it?" asked Matt and Jeff simultaneously.
"Who do you think it'd be?" said the voice behind the door.
Matt and Jeff looked at each other, then in silent agreement Jeff walked to the door. "Hey Ames," He said opening the door and walking back inside.
"Wow, you really sound happy to see me...what a welcome. No hug, no wave no...,"she said following him inside the door.
"Oh, stop yapping Amy," Jeff said turning round and gave her a hug, while Matt stood by. It had been more than a little awkward between Matt and Amy since they split up.
"Hey," Matt said, following suit with Jeff and gave her a hug.
Amy stood back in surprise, while Jeff who had raised an eyebrow at first merely shrugged and walked back to the bathroom.
"Umm, hey." Amy responded, surprised but happy since this was the first time since she had gotten together with Seth that he had actually touched her.
Jeff came back outside with his hair in a bandana. "Ya'll wanna go get some food or something?" Jeff asked, "Cause I want to get some food and if ya'll don't wanna get some food...well....did I say I wanted to get some food? Cause I really wanna get some...."
"Alright, Jeff we get it," Matt and Amy said simultaneously, and then laughed since they used to always say that to Jeff together. Jeff smiled in return, happy that things were starting to feel normal again.
"Hang on, let me just use the bathroom." Amy said walking towards the bathroom while Matt and Jeff got their things ready.
She walked in the bathroom to check her makeup and glanced at the sink area of the bathroom. She saw a makeup bag and face wash. She walked to the bathtub and pulled open the shower curtain and noted the bottles of shampoo and conditioner that she knew neither Jeff nor Matt used.
"What the hell..." she thought to herself, then walked out of the bathroom to find both Matt and Jeff sitting on one bed watching TV and noted that the other was perfectly fixed and neat.
"Hey, let's go, damn it took you long enough and I didn't even hear you flush...ewwwww..." Jeff said.
"Shut up, I didn't use the toilet, I was just using the mirror."
"Oh...it's not like it would help," Jeff said then at the threatening look Amy gave him responded with a hurried, "let's go," as he lead the way out of the hotel.
Meanwhile, Corinne, Taylor and Julia were walking through the crowd at Quincy Market with Julia leading the way to as many toy stores as she could drag her mother to. "So what happened last night, and...sweetie this is adult conversation." Taylor said as she felt Julia pulling at the bottom of her sweater.
"I know but I want this mommy! It talks what I talk."
"What?" Taylor asked.
"I think she means says what she says, I've seen one of those parrots before."
"Oh, well just wait a minute and I'll get it for you sweetie, do you have anything like that yet?"
"Nope," Julia said then happily skipped towards a pile of stuffed animals near the back of the store.
Taylor kept an eye to her daughter, making sure she was going to be occupied and wouldn't walk out alone.
"So yeah, I saw that bruise on you arm back at the hotel before you put on the sweater. What happened? Did Matt or Jeff..." Taylor began.
"Oh god no. Umm, there was a little incident in the parking lot of the arena last night. This guy grabbed me and kissed me, Matt and Jeff rescued me from him."
"Oh my god, are you okay?" Taylor asked concernedly.
"I really am fine now, and I mean I cannot thank Matt and Jeff enough. They wouldn't even let me sleep at home alone last night and even though Amy was here they still made sure I would be close to them. It was really sweet. Actually I think they carried me to the room last night, I don't remember anything past falling asleep in the car."
"Yeah, they would do that. When I was pregnant with Julia," Taylor said turning around to search for her daughter, found her, then continued, "Matt and Jeff followed me EVERYWHERE and I mean everywhere. If Chris wasn't with me they were there. They made sure that if Chris was going to be away, one of them would be with me and it just so happened that when I went into labor in a car on the way to the arena to meet Chris, I was with both of them. Matt delivered Julia, and I think Jeff fainted somewhere in between. So when Julia was being christened, they were the godparents. And you know, Julia Marie, J and M for Jeff and Matt."
"Really? That's so sweet."
"Yeah, those two guys are amazing and..." Taylor was interrupted when an excited Julia wrapped her little arms on her legs, "I owe my little Julie bean to them," she finished as she picked up her daughter.
"Who is it?" asked Matt and Jeff simultaneously.
"Who do you think it'd be?" said the voice behind the door.
Matt and Jeff looked at each other, then in silent agreement Jeff walked to the door. "Hey Ames," He said opening the door and walking back inside.
