Disclaimer: I own the kids, that's it. You want more detail, go see chapter 1.
A/N: Okay, hey. So I started this, June 10, and then decided it was going to be the sequel to The sister, Rory, and the infamous kamikaze chipmunks. (That was the full name of it though infamous kind of hit the cutting room floor.)
Sorry, it took so long after I said I'd start updating again. My Uncle had a stroke. He's okay now. But I'll still be updating pretty far apart. Just please, have faith in me.
So, the long awaited, which most of you gave up on a month ago, second chapter. Here we go!
Chapter 2: All Grown Up
"Mom, Dad! Sookie called an emergency meeting at her house! Come on, we got to go!" Emma called running down the stairs. "Chris, let's go!"
"Did they come out with a new colored chocolate again? Because if that's what this is about I'm going to be pissed. I'm supposed to call Ashley tonight." Chris grumbled walking downstairs.
"Nah, it's probably a new ketchup color, or new Oreo flavor." Jess commented.
"Uh." Rory and Emma both said, disgustedly.
"Oreos are not Oreos unless the have yummy, yummy chocolate on the outside, and white vanilla cream on the inside. Any other combination is just wrong, Dad. Isn't that right, Mom?"
"Yes. There should be a law. Anything that does not fit those requirements cannot carry the name Oreo."
Jess and Chris just rolled their eyes as the girls walked out and got in the car.
"Dad, you should know better than that. You spoke of the forbidden topic. Now, why is it forbidden?"
"It causes insanity."
"Exactly. Now, let's go before we have to listen to them complain about being late the whole way."
"Good idea." He grabbed the keys and they left.
At Sookie's
Everyone else had arrived. The adults were sitting around talking while the girls were singing along to a jazz track that was playing on the stereo. The boys were playing cards. Conner sat over on a loveseat smiling, and whispering to a girl. The door opened, without anyone knocking.
"We're here! Sorry we're late. Dad and Chris were being stupid." Emma stated.
"I love you, too Emma." Jess said sarcastically. Then he turned his attention to the room. "So, emergency meeting, huh? What's up?"
Chris looked around the room where everyone was happy but Sookie had a strange look to her. "Oh, God," he muttered. "It is the chocolate."
Jackson walked in from the kitchen. "No, but don't tell her about the neon orange ketchup yet, okay?"
Chris nodded. Sookie perked up.
"Your here, your here! Come on sit down. Sit down."
"Sookie in repetitive mode. It must really be something." Jess whispered to his wife.
"Yeah, I know. I'm worried."
"Mom, calm down." Conner was up and helping his mother to sit down.
"Okay, everybody, I have an announcement," he said after calming Sookie. "You all know my girlfriend, Shea." They all exchanged little waves and smiles. "Well, Shea and I are getting married." He closed his eyes and awaited the inevitable.
"Wow, I can't believe Conner's getting married," Jess murmured walking through the door to their house.
"I know, I still remember when he was born. I feel old." Rory said.
"You are old."
"You're older than me."
"But I'm not old." Jess said as if that were the simplest thing in the world to understand.
"Are too."
"Am not."
"Too."
"Not."
"Yes, you are. And I say so." Rory stated.
"And why is it true just because you say so?"
"Because I'm pregnant, and I'm moody." Rory nodded smiling.
"You can say that again." Jess said, half-heartedly, under his breath.
"I heard that! Oh, you are so going to regret that, mister." Rory said, playfully pushing him into the wall.
"I love your parents." Ashley, Chris' girlfriend, who had been picked up so she and Chris could have movie night, said, following them
"They're something alright." Chris said back.
"Hey, you get the living room, I'll take your DVD player, okay?" Emma said to her brother.
"Uh uh. I get my room." He said indignantly.
"You have a girl." Emma stated.
"So do you."
She just looked at him.
"Right. Okay. But don't mess with anything." He grumbled.
"I intend to mess with everything in sight." Emma teased. She turned to Leigh, who was staying the night. "Could you get the movies set up? I'll make popcorn and grab some soda and junk food and be right up."
"Alright. Goodnight, Chris. Ashley." She said Ashley's name a little bit colder than she had Chris' but no one noticed. She then walked over to where Jess and Rory were still playfully squabbling. "Night Jess, night Rory." She said hugging them both.
"Oh. Goodnight, Leigh." Rory said.
"Night."
Minutes later Emma came out, kissed both her parents goodnight and went upstairs with food and drink to begin her movie-athon. Rory went over to Chris and kissed him goodnight and told Ashley goodnight as well.
"Night guys, don't do anything I wouldn't do." Jess said.
Chris just looked at his mother's retreating form, waddling slightly with her pregnancy.
"Okay, don't do anything I would do."
At that Chris just lifted his eyebrow, a gesture he had gotten from his father.
"Hands! Sit on them! Don't move." Jess said, only half joking.
"Night, Dad." Chris said fighting back laughter.
"Night, Mr. Mariano." Ashley said sweetly.
"Goodnight, kids." God, I do sound old, Jess thought.
In the master bedroom
"Do you ever feel like the Walton's?" Rory asked.
"Only when we have all thirteen kids, why?"
"Fourteen." She said rubbing her belly. "I do. Sometimes I just want to say 'Goodnight, John Boy.'"
"So that's the 'Goodnight, John Boy' thing. I never understood that."
"Well, now you do." Rory smiled.
"Now I do. And thanks for that."
"You're welcome." She just stared off in space for a moment. "Jess?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you scared?"
"Petrified."
"I remember your face when I told you I was pregnant with Emma." Rory said, half laughing.
"Couldn't have been worse than when you told me about Chris."
"'We're late, we're late, for a very important date.'" She sang.
"And you know what that means...." Jess chimed in.
"We're pregnant!" They both said in unison.
"And Chris wonders why I call him Alice." Jess said.
Rory laughed.
A/N: I know, shortness. The rest of the chapters will be longer, I promise. I just stumbled onto a horrible case of writers block and this was as far as I got. It's not a bad place to end it is it? Okay, so blue button, and those who are colorblind the button that says go beside submit review (cause just saying blue and having all those poor colorblind people think blue? what blue? Is just wrong) You guys know what to do.
I'm back !!!!
