1Chapter 7: Chris and Jeff spend time with their dad and Joey
Up in the attic room, Jesse was giving Chris some guitar lessons and he was soon able to play a simple Elvis Presley song. He shook his father's hand and graciously said, "Thanks, dad, for teaching me. I love this guitar. Can I be in your band someday?"
Jesse smiled, "Who says you can't start now? Welcome to the band, Jesse & the Rippers!"
Chris was so excited and he continued to practice exercises from a guitar book that his dad gave him.
Meanwhile, Jeff had gone downstairs in search of Joey. When he finally found him in the basement, he wondered, "Hi Joey. Can you share some of those funny jokes and cool voices with me? I want to be a jokester like you."
Joey smiled, "Of course, my boy. Let me see... a gu gu gu gu gu blow me down!"
Jeff laughed, "That's a good one."
All afternoon, Joey taught Jeff many jokes and funny voices. They were both laughing in their shoes by the end of the day.
When Becky got home from work with Danny at 6pm, she proceeded to the attic and was very impressed with Chris's progress on the guitar. While Danny was cooking pasta for dinner, she went into the backyard to see Ana having a glorious time with Michelle. And she was pleased to see Jeff getting along with Joey and Steph Jr. having fun with Stephanie. It was indeed a dream come true because everyone was getting along so nicely. Hopefully, this lasts.
When dinner was served, Danny yelled, "Everyone, come down and eat! Dinner is served!"
Everyone ran downstairs and took their places at the table because they were all quite famished. After five minutes, Becky noticed that Ana was the only one who didn't touch her food. She asked, "What's wrong, dear?"
Ana looked down and whispered, "I'm allergic to tomato sauce. I don't like it. I like plain spaghetti with butter."
Danny got up and made a small plate of plain pasta just for Ana. She started eating and enjoyed it very much. Once dinner was over, Danny and Stephanie remained downstairs to clean up while everyone went upstairs to get ready for bed. That was the latest event that concluded the day.
I hope you like it so far! I will update soon, as soon as I get some comments and suggestions for the next chapter! Thanks. I'm thinking of focusing on DJ and Steve at the hospital in the next chapter. Is that a good idea:-) R&R, but no flames!
