Chapter 12

A/N: Hey! Thanks once again for reading, and if you do read this, please review! I love to hear your ideas and things that you want to see happen. I always have room to fit in what you want to see, so tell me what you want in a review! I have the anonymous turned on, so don't worry about that. Anyways, I'd better get off to writing…

It was a frustrating and slightly hard transition when Seany was allowed to go back home.

Seany felt like she might die the first night she was home. Every three hours she had to feed Austin a bottle, and getting up that often killed her sleep. The next day she was so tired and irritable that everyone else except for Chris locked themselves in a room on the other side of the house. Chris himself staid in his room, until Austin took another one of his what seemed like thousands of naps and he convinced Seany to take one too.

The next night they had decided to take turns, giving each about a period of 6 hours to sleep. Seany seemed so much brighter and happier the next day. She actually let everyone hold Austin, and to be honest, Randy didn't do such a bad job at all. Actually, if she had to choose, she would pick him over John to baby sit. But Seany had already decided that Demi, then Haidie, and Dave as a last resort would be her baby sitter order.

It had taken Seany a week to be able to part with Austin while he slept. He staid in his renovated nursery one room down from Seany and Chris's, with his small one-way baby monitor turned up as high as it would go. He had a small mobile hanging over his crib, with different animals all colored in black and white. Apparently it was supposed to help his brain develop.

Austin was 3 days away from being 2 weeks old. Chris had obviously been away for too long, because he was being sent out to New Jersey for SmackDown Friday night. Of course everyone else was going; Demi had her job and Haidie had to go to school with John. Seany didn't get to put in another word; Chris wouldn't let her stay home alone with Austin.

"Are you taking Napoleon, honey?" Chris asked, picking up Seany's suitcase with his as he kissed her on the cheek. Seany's eyes seemed to pop as they widened a slight bit, turning just as she noticed Napoleon crouching on the kitchen table.

"Yeah, I should." She replied, scooping him up in one hand; the other holding the sleeping Austin in his portable car seat/carrier. Napoleon, although he was about as big as he was going to get, wasn't a large cat at all. He was about medium sized, and as slim and fit as any cat Seany had ever seen; probably from waking Chris up at 3 o'clock in the morning running up and down his back and in the hall. "Hey buddy… you ready to go on another plane ride?" She asked in a voice that someone would use to talk to a puppy. Napoleon merely stared at her through his green-blue eyes, pawing at her shoulder and causing Seany to giggle. Chris glanced over at her from the door way, a smile forming as he watched her.

"Ok, ok- just what is our problem here?" Randy asked, acting stuck up as he entered the kitchen. Seany and Chris both couldn't help but laugh when they saw him wearing a frizzy red wig, resembling Jesse's aunt. "Clearly there is too much love in this world. Now go pick up that paper towel and get out to the car! We have 30 minutes to get on our flight!"

29 ½ minutes later…

"What did I tell you!"

"Randy, take that stupid wig off." John groaned, pushing Randy's shoulder. Randy sighed dramatically, acting as if he was wiping away a tear.

"I never thought it would result to this; but you never know what the power of love might force you to do." Randy complained as if he were the damsel in distress, ripping off the wig. He instantly turned back into the casual Randy that they all knew; and only a few loved. "Thank God that's over."

"Don't worry about it Randy, we all go through weird phases in life." Chris explained, sounding more like he recited it from a book. Seany kissed him on the cheek proudly.

"Way to go baby, you have been studying up." She praised him, and Chris smiled as if he had just received an Olympic gold medal.

"Studying what?" John asked, taking a sip from his coffee. It kicked Chris's mood down a notch or two.

"On how to be a dad." Seany answered matter-of-factly, giving John 'the look'. He didn't reply.

"Why would you need to study that?" Randy piped up as they filed onto the plane.

Chris looked over his shoulder. "Because it doesn't come naturally, idiot." He snapped.

"Well I wouldn't know." Randy made an excuse, looking at his ticket to find his seat. They all ended up going towards the back of the plane, talking as they went. Actually, Seany wondered if there ever was a time that they didn't talk or bicker with each other.

A mischievous smirk crossed Chris's face; one that only Seany could see at the moment. "Then get Haidie knocked up and you will."

"Randy I'll knock the living shit out of you and then I'll kill you." John threatened, giving him a warning glare over his suitcase.

"And Dave will be very disappointed in you." Chris joked, making them all laugh. Dave just rolled his eyes behind his dark sunglasses, as they all went to different parts of the aisle to their seats.

Randy looked at Chris as if he were crazy, and they all took their seats. John and Demi were once again paired with each other; Dave was alone with two seats to take up, and Randy and Haidie had tickets that were on the same row. Chris and Seany didn't know what to do with themselves.

"We have to sit together…" Seany informed them aloud, trying to think of a way they could do it safely. She couldn't exactly find one. "You guys…"

"I can take care of him." Dave offered, raising his hand from his seat. There was an opened place beside of him… Seany didn't really know though. She could do this, right?

"I don't know Dave, I'm sure we can squeeze him somewhere…"

"Seany, there's an open seat." Chris tried to convince her, nodding in Dave's direction. "Besides, we haven't gotten much time to be with each other lately."

"But…" Seany sighed, gently handing Dave the sleeping Austin in his baby carrier; plus his supply bag filled with everything he would need. "Ok, Dave you have to feed him every three hours or so; don't forget to burp him and change his diaper. Plus his pacifier is in the pocket on the far right, so if he starts crying-"

"Seany, Seany." Dave held up a hand as he settled Austin into the other seat. "I know how to do this. And if I have any problems, your seven and-a-half feet away." He assured her, and Seany once again sighed.

"Ok, ok… I know I can trust you." Seany said aloud, and she knew it was true. She could trust Dave, and she was only a few feet away. She could do this.

Seany nestled into her window seat beside Chris, sighing once more and laying her head on his shoulder. He resisted a smile and kissed her on the head, brushing her bangs out of her eyes. "It's alright; he can do this on his own." Chris tried to be supportive, but only received a 'did-you-just-say-that' look from Seany, and a burst of laughter emerged.

"Ok, ok, I'll take your word for it." Seany replied sarcastically, punching his arm. It wasn't long before the voice of John's sister was heard.

"Sorry I'm late you guys." Haidie apologized. "I had to finish getting ready in the bathroom."

"Oh, Haidie," Randy stood up, and the feeling of a fight on the near horizon lingered in the air. "Chris told me to do this." He grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her into a deep kiss; obviously as fake as when he acted like Jesse's aunt Amy. John jumped to his feet, blocked by his girlfriend who was standing up and looking for her purse underneath his suitcase.

"Randy I wasn't f'in' kidding when I said I would kill you."

Seany nodded to John as he glanced to her for approval. They had been forced to censor their language as much as possible, just to get used to talking around Austin. She'd actually become more of a Hitler-Mother-Bear ever since he was born, but he couldn't help but love her either way.

"But John, she obviously likes it." Randy protested, going back down to the shocked and frozen Haidie for another theatrical kiss. This time he made it as horrible as he could, sticking his tongue out where everyone could see and lick her bottom lip in a surprisingly disgusting way. Seany would have always thought that whatever he did would be sexy; but of course the way he was acting like Jesse's aunt made everything sickening.

Haidie let out a shriek of disgust, only thankfully low enough to be heard by only the group, but also caused her brother to almost jump over the seat on top of Dave and go after Randy. "Randy, get the hell away from my sister!" He commanded him even more firmly, a look of fury in his blue eyes. Randy merely looked up with a goofy grin on his face, like one of an 8 year-old, and then shrugged.

"Ok." Randy complied, sitting down and letting Haidie have the outside seat. Chris was trying to control his fits of laughter, only making John slightly madder and receiving a glare from Dave; whom caused them all to remember that baby Austin was still sleeping soundly. "Sorry about that; I'm getting a room tonight you know…"

"NO!" John yelled at Haidie, seeming like Randy had already wound him tight enough that day. Seany slapped Chris on the forearm before he could laugh, and everything was quiet as no one could think of anything to say. Or at least anything that would pass Seany's mother hand-book.

"I don't care what he says; you're still sexy."

"Randy!" Seany snapped in a whisper, but it was already too late. One of Austin's animal toys soared at Randy's head like a missile, only barely missing its target by millimeters. He looked up to see John pointing at him threateningly, sending him a clear message. This time Seany didn't stop Chris from letting out a snicker. So, it was back to the forever-exciting road life… Again.
