--The Next Morning--

Have you ever had the feeling that you're being watched? Well, that was the feeling I had as I woke up. I opened my right eye and looked to my side. Sure enough there was Katie waiting patiently for Dave and I to wake up.

"How long have you been there, kiddo?" Katie smiled sleepily. "Just a little bit. Will you play house with me?" I looked at her sternly, I usually say no to playing house because she insists on being a boy. "You can be the Mommy and Dave can be the Daddy? Please?" I smiled, that was just the cutest… but it didn't work, "Sorry Katie Bug. You know I don't like playing house. Maybe later."

Katie stuck her bottom lip out and I smiled, "Why don't you go get a movie while I wake Dave up and then we can watch a little bit." Katie nodded and ran off to grab a DVD. I shook my head, she's just the cutest with her little curls bouncing as she runs.

"Dave, Honey… get up." Dave grunted. I smiled, "Come on Babe. Katie wants to watch a movie, and if you don't get up now I'll let her tackle you when she gets back." Dave groaned and turned over facing me, "You wouldn't." I smiled wickedly, "Oh yes I would. She's woken me up many times that way. I'm sure she'd love to conquer the mountain that is Dave." Dave sighed and got up. "Happy now?" I smiled sweetly, "Very."

Katie came running back into the room and handed me the DVD. "Ooo, 'A Cinderella Story' I've never seen this, is it good Kate?" Katie nodded and I put it in the DVD player and started it up. Dave smiled, "I bet you know all the words, don't you Katie?" Katie got a big smile on her face, "Yep! This is my favorite movie!"

I sat down on the couch next to Dave and not two seconds later Katie climbed onto my lap. I smiled and kissed the top of her head. That's the way Katie and I always watch our movies together. Dave looked on with a big smile on his face and I grabbed his hand.

A little bit later Katie went to get a drink and Dave pulled me onto his lap, "That was the cutest thing I've seen in a while." I smiled and nodded, "Yep. Kate always sits on my lap, or Sarah's if she's here. It's the way it's always been." Dave smiled, "She's such a cutie." I nodded, "Sure is."

Katie came back into the room and she giggled as she got back onto the couch. "Are you gonna sit there for the rest of the movie?" I smiled, "Maybe. You wanna sit here? It's really comfortable." Katie looked at me oddly as I climbed of Dave's lap. "You don't mind, Dave?" Dave smiled, "Of course not. Although Dre here might get jealous of me for hogging her Katie Bug."

Katie giggled and climbed onto Dave's lap. I pretended to pout, sticking out my bottom lip and everything, "That's not fair, she's MINE!" Katie laughed and I smiled, "Okay, I guess it's alright just this once. But I want her back later!" Dave nodded reluctantly, "Okay, I guess you can have her back later… Maybe." Katie giggled more and we watched some more of the movie before we had to leave to go uptown to the YMCA for the Kewanee Hog Jog and the Kid's Fun Run.

While we were waiting up at the Y we saw my Aunt Peggy and Uncle Gary. "Hey Andrea! How have you been?" I smiled at my Aunt Peggy, "I've been wonderful." I gave Dave a look and smiled big, "How have you two been holding up?"

Gary smiled, "Pretty good. And who is this?" I smiled as Dave wrapped his arms around me, "This is my boyfriend Dave. He's a professional Wrestler. Dave, this is my mom's sister, my Aunt Peggy and her husband, my Uncle Gary." Dave smiled, "It's nice to meet both of you." And he shook their hands.

When they were out of earshot I added, "That's Emily and Sami's mom. Aunt Peg's really cool when her girls aren't around." Dave nodded, "You think we'll see anyone else here?" I smiled and nodded, "Yep. Ann's parents. And probably some more family members too, I don't really know."

We watched as Nick and Katie ran in their age group for the fun run. It shocked everyone to see Katie running far ahead of Nick and Uncle Rick. We were all screaming for Katie and she had a huge smile on her face as she passed us. She was one of the first kids to cross the finish line.

Aunt Ann got teary eyed, "Katie is usually so shy. I'm so proud of her." I smiled and nodded. Aunt Ann had been saying that for a while now, but usually when she's around us she's not shy at all so I just kind of 'smile and nod' because I know she's right. "I'm so glad that you girls are so nice to her and actually play with her when you see her. I think that's part of the reason she's breaking out of her shell." I smiled, "Yep, Kate's a sweet heart, how could you ever turn down playing with her."

After Ann left Dave looked at me oddly, "Babe, you just turned down playing house with her this morning." I rolled my eyes, "I know… I meant hanging out with her and doing other stuff, okay?" Dave laughed, "Okay. Whatever you say Babe." And he wrapped his arms around me from behind and we watched the rest of the races.

As we were leaving my mom came up to us and she smiled and hugged me. "I'm so happy that you're happy honey. I knew you'd find someone who you love like I do Mike someday. I'm glad it finally happened." And she got teary eyed. I smiled and tried not to cry too. As far back as I can remember my mom had been telling me that she hoped I'd find someone who would make me happy and that I would want to be with forever.

On the ride back to Ann and Rick's house I told Dave that. He smiled and kissed me softly, "I'm glad I'm the one that makes you so happy." I smiled and leaned my head against his shoulder and sat there content for the rest of the ride to their house.

A little later we were getting snack food ready for the parade. Surprisingly I was actually helping this year, usually I'm told to watch the kids outside. I was helping make the puppy chow for everyone, because everybody here loves puppy chow. Ash was busy cutting the rice crispy treats into bars, which is always a very difficult job to do. My mom was making gobs of popcorn for everyone, translated… she was microwaving a box of bagged popcorn.

Dave was outside watching the kids play in the pool. And somehow the conversation had gotten to Dave and I. "So Dre, how long have you and Dave been going out?" I got the sweet smile on my face, you know the one I'm talking about, "Hmm… roughly 6 or 7 months. And they've flown by so fast."

Aunt Ann smiled, "That's how it went with your Uncle Rick and I when we first started dating. The only thing I have to look back on is the pictures though, so make sure you take lots of pictures." I smiled, "Yep. Sure will, but we also have the tapes of RAW every week to look back on. Granted it's not real everyday life, but it's better then nothing." Aunt Ann nodded, "Good point."

I got a big smile on my face, "I haven't told anyone this but Evolution makes the cover of RAW next month, and I'll be included in that issue. The photos will be taken in a few weeks and I'm really looking forward to it." They all smiled, and Ash spoke up, "Get me a copy of that issue then. I'll show people that you actually made something of yourself at St. Albert." I rolled my eyes, "Sure. Just don't say anything bad about me while you show your friends." Then I smiled evilly, "Otherwise I'll have Dave beat the shit outta Erika, and you know how much pleasure I'd get out of that." Ash rolled her eyes, "Yeah, whatever."

We had finally gotten to the Dison's to watch the parade. Don and Betty Dison are my Aunt Ann's parents and Don owns his own company, 'The Dison Agency', as far back as I can remember everyone's sat there to watch the parade. Don's company is on the main corner that the parade comes down and turns at, so it's a prime spot to watch the parade.

The parents went to get us some food for lunch at one of the little spots up town at the carnival. They get everybody some pork chop sandwiches and hamburgers, I'm a big pork chop sandwich fan so that's what my mom always gets me.

About ten minutes after everyone had left Emily's teal Chevy Blazer pulls into the parking lot. I got a huge smile on my face and Dave got up to get us some beers… and trust me to deal with Em I was gonna need a few. Emily and her Jake made their way over to the lawn chairs that Don had set up and I waved, "Hey Em. How have you been?"

Emily got a snotty smirk on her face, "I've been great! Everything with Jake is going GREAT, he gave me a promise ring." My eyes got big, "Wow. Last time we talked I thought you two were calling it quits." Emily gave me a mean look, "Well, things changed. Anyway… how's your life been, still boring as hell?"

I laughed, "BORING?! Wow, I guess no one told you about my job then?" Emily looked at me oddly, "You have a job?" I smiled, "Oh yea, nothing much. I just work for the WWE, translated that's World Wrestling Entertainment. Ya know, that show you made fun of me for loving? I work for it." Emily nodded, "You work backstage, huh?"

I nodded, "That's what I did in the beginning. Now I'm on tv every week." I could see the look of recognition on Jake's face, he probably watches it, who knows no one gave him time to speak. Emily narrowed her eyes, "Okay, so you're on tv. Who cares, no one watches that stupid wrestling." Jake just shook his head in disagreement. "Besides, I bet you STILL don't have a boyfriend." And with that said Emily got that snotty smirk of hers on her face again.

Jake was about to correct Emily when Dave emerged with our drinks. The cooler everything's in was on the other side of the tree where the shade is. Dave handed me my beer, "Actually, she does. I'm her boyfriend." Emily's jaw dropped, "We've been together for quite some time now, it's sad you don't know much about your cousin, isn't it?"

I smiled and took a drink of my beer. "Emily, this is my boyfriend Dave. Dave, Babe, this is my cousin Emily. And that's her boyfriend Jake, I think he knows who we are." Dave smiled and shook Jake's hand, "It's nice to meet you. So are you a wrestling fan?" Jake nods, "Sure am. I've been watching since I was a kid."

I smiled at Emily, "And you said no one watches wrestling." And I started laughing. Emily huffed and walked briskly to a different area of the property, Jake followed her mouthing 'sorry' as he left.

I turned to Dave thrilled, "That was so damn fun!" Dave smiled, "I'll have to agree with you on that one. Question, how are YOU related to THAT?" I smiled and shrugged, "Well, to get technical my mom has this sister named Peggy, and unfortunately Peggy has these two daughters, Emily and Samantha, both of which are huge bitches." Dave shook his head, "You know what I meant." I smiled sweetly, "Yes I do. But now you know how Andrea gets her bitchiness, dealing with her cousins and her sister." Dave shakes his head and bends over to give me a quick kiss, "I'm beginning to understand that."
