Chapter 5: Sing Songs of Sleep
"A movie deal?" Tommy managed to say.
"That's right," Stephanie replied.
"We're talking about T.V. movie, right?" I asked.
"No, full-length feature film that will be in theaters and on DVD. So what do you say?"
"Is this just our story or are we actually going to be starring in a movie?" Tommy added.
"Well, 'the guys upstairs' want the real experience of what you have gone through, and so what better way for that than to have the real Tommy and Jude?"
"Are you sure you want us? Not professional actors?" I insisted. Acting was not my thing…
"No, we definitely want you guys, even your son."
It was like Tommy was reading my mind. "Do you mind if we think about it for a while?"
"No problem, here's my card." She handed me her card before walking out of the lobby.
I grinned, overjoyed, and hugged Tommy. "A movie? This is so unbelievable."
"What's so unbelievable?" Jamie asked as he entered with Kat.
"We got offered a movie deal," Tommy explained.
"Oh my god! Are you going to take it?" Kat said.
"I don't know, we're going to think on it," I told them.
"What's to think about?" Kat inquired.
"Well, everything. We're going to be so busy anyways but starring in a movie? That's going to be hectic."
"No one said stardom would be easy," Jamie joked.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious. We could not steer the ship without you," Tommy sneered.
"Alright, visiting time over," Georgia interrupted. "Time to get to work on that song."
"Okay," I agreed.
"Do you want us to take him?" Kat offered.
"Nah, need him for inspiration," I replied.
I set my head down.
"Jude, c'mon, we need to work on this."
I looked up at him. "We've been working on this for six hours including one hour lunch break, one hour dinner and I'd say about 20 ten minute breaks for Tommy. I'm just not getting into this."
He sighed. "Me too. I don't know about you but I think it might be a little too personal for us."
"I know what you mean. I think that since we both have had crappy luck with our own families that we just can't do this. I just don't feel like making this song."
"Me either. I can talk to Georgia and hopefully we'll be able to get out of the song. I'm guessing we will as long as we go along with every other ridiculous request."
"Fine with me. I just want to go home and sleep, like our son. He's so lucky that Sadie came by to get him."
"Why don't we call it quits?"
"Definitely." We left the studio and found Sadie at home, in the kitchen with Tommy Jr.
"Where have you two been?" She asked.
"At the studio, working," Tommy said.
"Are you serious? It's like 9 o'clock!"
"We were working on a song, but we're just not getting into it," I yawned.
"I wouldn't be either at 9 at night."
"Well, it's been a long day," Tommy explained.
"Hey, I'll take care of Little Tommy and you guys can get some sleep."
"Thanks, Sades," I called back to her as we dragged ourselves upstairs.
AN: I know that this was a really, really short chapter but I'm saving some of it for next chappie! Please R&R!
