A/N: Just so you guys don't get confused while reading this, the stuff written it Tommy's POV is Tommy telling the story, and the rest are the interruptions. I can't speak for everyone, but qoutes that are like 1 paragraph long annoy me. Lol.

Disclaimer: I don't own the show.

Chapter 2: Smile Like You Mean It

It all started about 6 years ago, right before I married Portia. She told me she wanted me to meet her family, and that they were throwing a party that weekend that we were invited to. She also told me that she wanted me to make a good impression. The only problem is, her idea and my idea of a good imoression were completely different.

Jude laughed. "Did you like, get into a fight or something?" Tommy laughed along with her.

"Worse. Much, much worse." He continued.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course, Darius, being her older brother, was there. He didn't like the idea of me marrying Portia, and he was devoted to making this party go as bad for me as possible.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jude interrupted again before Tommy had a chance to say anything else. "So what happened?"

"Girl, I was gonna get around to that if you'd let me talk for 5 minutes," He joked.

"Sorry. You were saying?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, Darius decided to play a trick on me. He took aside Shay, who I think was 13 at the time and hated me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He stopped and scowled. "Some things never change."

"Wait. So you're saying Shay did that?" He rolled his eyes.

"Patience, girl. A good story takes time." Jude scoffed.

"Yeah, and at this rate, we may be able to finish by January," She said in mock enthusiasm. Tommy looked offened.

"And whose fault is that?"

"Hey. This was your interruption."

"Well you were making it longer."

"You're arguing with me." He opened his mouth to say something more, but decided not to hold up the story any further.

"You know what? Let's just continue." She shrugged.

"It's your story."

A/N: That's pretty much how the rest of the story goes. Please R&R to hear more.
