AN: Jam is pronounced like James without the "s."
"Landddooonnnn!" boomed Jamie's voice from downstairs. They had just moved into this new house, probably to big from them. Landon had asked what she had planned to do with the rooms, and she said to fill them with kids. But he had a sad feeling that the lukemia wasn't going to get better, and that she might not be able to have kids even if she did get better. When Landon suggusted that might happen, she simply said they would adopt then.
"Yes?"
"Breakfast's ready. And hurry up! Church starts in an hour!" No matter how much he might have changed, he was still his hyper-anxious self and didn't look to forward to sitting still for two and a half hours. But he did it for Jamie, just as he had done it for his mother.
"Coming!" Landon swung out of bed, his feet hitting the sturdy hardwood floors with a soft pat. He dragged himself out of bed and lazily threw on some jeans and a shirt, thrusting the brush through his hair carelessly. He went downstairs and blinked rapidly as he walked through the brightly lit kitchen, on a count of all of the windows.
"Good morning," Jamie said, giving him a kiss, laying a plate of toast, bacon, and eggs in front of him. "Don't expect /this/ every morning. Well, you can always count on a bowl of cereal." They laughed and Jamie reached for the newspaper. She started skimming the pages, and when she apparently did not find what she was looking for flipped the page quickly over.
"What are you looking for?"
"The new releases on books."
"Section D, page 7." Jamie flipped over to the page and gave him a thanking smile. He knew where everything was in the newspaper. Whenever his father had come to his mother's and his's house, it was the only thing he could do in the morning to avoid talking to him. "So what are you looking for particularly?"
"Nicholas Sparks was supposed to come out with a book soon, and I couldn't remember if it was today." Her eyes went from side to side, reading the article. "Ah, here it is! The new Nicholas Sparks book, 'A Bend In The Road.' Would you mind if I stopped quickly into the bookstore?"
"Not at all. In fact I should get a book also."
"You should get 'The Notebook.' I think it's your style." "The Notebook" was again another story written by the great Nicholas Sparks. Jamie practically lived on the books. Landon shrugged and continued to eat his breakfast as Jamie kept talking. "You know, we should see a movie."
Landon swallowed. "I thought you didn't like going to the theaters."
"But there's this movie, called the Passion Of The Christ, well I really don't know what it's about, but all I know is it's about God. Enough to get me wanting to see it."
"Believe me, Jam. Not your type of movie at all. I saw the prieviews, and it's supposed to be really graphic."
"Oh. Well, hurry up. I'm used to piggy Landon not picky Landon. We're going to be late if you keep this up." She already had her purse in hand, grabbing the keys out of the little jar they kept on the kitchen counter.
AN: I have never read any of Nicholas Spark's books except for AWTR (of course LOL) so I would not know if anything whatsoever about them, which means I do not know if Landon's personality would really like "The Notebook" because I have no idea what it's about. =) Please R & R.
