Chapter Four
Within twenty minutes the guys were all relaxed on the couches and chairs, while their son's played and watched the basketball game with them on the big screen television located in the living room.
"O Come On! That's was totally a double dribble! Keep your eyes open Ref, you get paid for a reason!!!!!!" Nathan yelled at the top of his lungs.
Even though his eyes never left the screen he knew that his brother and his friend were looking at him, even though they probably agreed with them. He also saw his two nephews looking at him. Ethan never looked up though he was used to having his daddy yelling at the television from time to time.
"SCORE!!!" This time Jake yelled, as all three men got up and started cheering and celebrating about the three pointer shot that their team had just made , which caused the game to become tied.
Now all three boys were looking up at their fathers thinking that they were either loosing their minds or something.
"Are we there yet?" Jenny asked for what seemed like the 50th time in the last five minutes.
"Almost see look you can see the mall right in front of us." Peyton answered getting a little annoyed by her daughter's behavior and how impatient she had been today, which was unusual for Jenny most of the time.
"Ok Jenny now we are here." Haley said as she pulled into a vacant parking spot.
"FINALLY!" Jenny cheered.
All the women just rolled their eyes. Haley and Brooke got Madisyn and Kayna out of their car seats, while Peyton helped Jenny out of the car and got the double stroller out of the trunk and set it up.
Brooke quickly laid Kayna in the back of the double stroller and made it to ware she could lay down, while Haley put Madisyn in the front.
By now Madisyn was mostly awake and was acting pretty much like her normal self.
"Mommy Go." Madisyn said to Haley as she finished buckling her into her seat.
Peyton and Brooke both giggled at what Madisyn had said, as Haley began to push the stroller towards the entrance of the mall.
"Okay where do you go first?" Peyton asked as they walked into the building.
"It doesn't matter to me. Brooke?" Haley asked.
"Same."
"I wanna go to the toy store!" Jenny squealed deciding that since none of the grownups knew where they wanted to go, she was going to state where she wanted to go.
"I bet you do missy. How about we go there in a little while?" Peyton replied.
"But you said you don't know where we're going so I said where I want to go."
"She's got a point." Brooke said to her best friend.
"Brooke!" Peyton mouthed giving her a mean look.
"Sorry. Okay how we start from here and see what we come upon?"
"Works for me." Haley said trying to stifle her giggle, as she watched her two best friends give looks to one another.
"Me too." Peyton said as she smiled at Brooke taking back that mean stare she had just gave her moments before.
"Jenny can you hold my hand please?" Peyton said as she held her hand out for the eight year old standing right next to her to grab.
"Okay Mom." Jenny put her hand into her mother's, as they began to walk down the walk way.
The team that the boys were cheering for we definitely on a role. And all three men's eyes were stuck on that television and nothing was going to break their daze.
Ethan and Aiden were playing with their legos and watching the game from time to time, while Dakota was crawling around the living room, trying to play with Ethan and Aiden's toys, and glancing at the television from time to time. It wasn't like he understood what in the world was going on he just liked all the moment, the noise, and they occasional shout from his daddy or his best friends.
Aiden looked up from he tiny basketball that both he and his cousin had been playing with and saw Dakota crawling away in the corner of his eye, so he got up.
"Don't fink (think) so, Dakota," Aiden said as he picked the baby up and tried his hardest to carry the eight month old over to where he and Ethan we're playing. As soon as he got about two steps closer to were he wanted to go though, Dakota began to cry and try to get loose from Aiden's grip. This got Jake's attention off of the television and he went over to where the two boys were.
"Wooohh there, what's going on?" Jake asked Aiden as he picked Dakota up.
"Dakota crawl away, so me go get him." Aiden said surprised that he might get into trouble for this.
"Thanks Aiden you're a big help, you can go back and play now I've got him." Jake said as he stood up all the way.
"Otay Uncie Jake." Aiden said as he smiled then rushed over to where Ethan was still playing.
The two boys continued to play for the next twenty minutes, then Ethan wanted to go outside and play, not stay inside like they had been for the whole morning.
"Come on Aiden, lets go ask my daddy if we can go outside and play." Ethan said even though he probably knew what Nathan was going to say.
"Daddy? Uncle Luke?" Ethan asked his father and his uncle who both had their eyes were glued again on the television set.
"Huh?" Nathan answered not really listening to who ever was talking to him, he was to into the game right now.
"Can me and Aiden go outside and play basketball (basketball)?"
"Yea sure, don't go far " Nathan murmured, eyes still locked on the screen.
"Daddy?" Aiden said looking for his father's approval now.
"Yea sure whatever, just stay near the house." Lucas replied.
"Fanks" Both Aiden and Ethan said in unison, as they rushed towards the front door.
"Bye!" Both boys waves as they opened the door and closed it quickly.
Ethan grabbed the basketball from the grass and the two cousins began to play what they called basketball. Since Ethan was on the Peewee Basketball Team he sort of knew the game and how to play it, but Aiden was only two and had no clue how to play so Ethan stopped trying to play the way that his coach had taught his team. He just played the way that he used to, and the way Aiden wanted to play so the ball was going every which a way.
It was only a matter of seconds before the ball that they had been playing with missed the hoop and bounced off the rim, but this time it was a little different, this time the ball began to bounce down the drive way and then it rolled into the busy street.
Aiden and Ethan just looked at one another trying to decide what to do to get the ball.
Within twenty minutes the guys were all relaxed on the couches and chairs, while their son's played and watched the basketball game with them on the big screen television located in the living room.
