Chapter 2: New Neighbors.
It's that night and Vinny and Lorraine are unpacking. Vinny is looking at pictures of him and his cousins Ray and Robert when he was younger he starts to laugh. "What's so funny?" Lorraine asked. "I'm just looking at these old pictures of me and my cousins Ray and Robert. There's me at Ray and Debra's wedding. That was a great day." Vinny answered. "I'm glad that your having fun unpacking." She said sarcastically. Vinny stopped looking at the pictures and looked at her and said "We made this move because of you." . "What?" Lorraine said in shock. "I moved from the city that I called home for 26 years of my life. So that we can live across the street from them." Vinny stated. "I'm glad that you made this move for me." Lorraine said while kissing his neck. Vinny now stops everything he was doing and turns off the light.
It's now the next day. Tina and Bill go next door to welcome Vinny and Lorraine to the neighborhood. Vinny is finishing unpacking when the door bell rings. "That better not be, who I think it is." Vinny said as he goes to answer the door. "It didn't take you guys that long did it?" Vinny said as he answered the door. "Excuse me?" Bill said looking shocked. Vinny is embarrassed and asks "Who the hell are you people?". "We're the Shenks your next door neighbors. I'm Bill, this is my wife Tina and our son Dylan." Bill said as he introduced his family to Vinny. "I'm Vinny DiMiranda and my wife Lorraine is across the street at the Baker's house." Vinny replied. "The Baker house? Do you know about their tweleve children?" Tina questioned. "Yes, I did." Vinny replied. "Did you meet them?" Dylan asked. "Unfortunately." Vinny said with a laugh. "I see that you didn't find that funny. I feel like a jerk now." Vinny said. "What's so funny about that?" Dylan asked. "I just thought that since you guys know the Bakers you know what I'm talking about." Vinny said nervously. " I know what your talking about." Tina said agreeing with Vinny."Those kids are monsters." She told Vinny. Bill looked at her and said "Don't start this again.". "Bill not now." She told him. "Would you guys like to come in?" Vinny asked. "Yes. Thank you." Tina said as her, Bill and Dylan walked into his house.
At the Baker house the kids are all home and asking Lorraine when Vinny is going to stop by. Mike especially wanted to know this. "When is Vinny coming over?" Mike asked in excitement. "Why do want that guy over here?" Sarah asked with a scowl. "Vinny's cool. Why do you have a problem with him?" Jake asked. "He's putting on an act and you all are fooled by it." Sarah said as she went upstairs to her room. "Vinny is alittle home sick." Lorraine said trying to make everyone forget about Sarah's poor attitude. "How do you know?" Kim asked. "His Aunt Marie called this morning again." Lorraine replied shaking her head. "What did she want?" Kate asked. "She wanted to know if Vinny wants to reconsider and move back to New York." Lorraine answered. "I feel bad for Vinny." Mike said. "He now knows how we felt when we first moved here." Jake said. "I think he's over being home sick." Tom said as he looked out the window seeing the Shenks leaving Vinny and Lorraine's house. "It looks like he made friends with the Shenks." Kate said as she too looked out the window."Are you kidding me?" Mike asked. "He looks like he's having a good time." Lorraine said furious.
