Chapter 3: Starting To Get Annoying
It's one in the morning and Vinny is pasted out in his bed. He hears his phone ring.
"Hello?" Vinny grumbled into the phone.
"Vinny, can you come over here for a few minutes, please?" Sarah pleaded on the other line.
"You're really starting to get annoying." Vinny yarned.
"Please?" Sarah pleaded again.
"I'll be right over." Vinny said as he hung up his phone.
He gets out of bed and stubbs his toe on the door as he's leaving the room.
"Motherfucker." Vinny groaned trying not to wake up Lorraine.
He goes downstairs and sees Brian sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Go to bed, you have school tomorrow." Vinny told him.
"Come on Dad. I'll go to bed as soon as this show is over." Brian said to him.
Vinny turns off the TV.
"Go to bed." Vinny said to him again.
"Fine." Brian sighed as he got off the couch and went upstairs to bed.
Vinny opens his door and goes to Sarah's house. Sarah opens the door for him.
"What happened to you?" Sarah laughed.
"Someone called at one in the morning and woke me up." Vinny grumbled.
"Who would do such a thing?" Sarah asked him sarcastically.
"What do you want from my life now?" Vinny then asked her.
"Nothing. I was seeing if you're still helping me with everything." Sarah said to him.
"You woke me up at one in the morning for nothing?" Vinny then asked her.
"Yeah." Sarah laughed.
"I just have one question for you." Vinny said to her.
"Which is?" Sarah then asked him.
"How come you call me to help you with everything but, not Jake?" Vinny then asked her.
"Jake really isn't that helpful plus I like annoying you." Sarah replied.
"That's all I needed to know. Good Night." Vinny said as he left Sarah's house.
When Vinny gets back home he lies down on the couch and falls asleep on the couch. The next morning Matt wakes him up.
"Dad? Hey, Dad?" Matt asked him.
"What is it Matt?" Vinny yarned.
"I wanted to remind that I have baseball practice at three-thirty today." Matt said to him.
"Thanks for the reminder Matt." Vinny replied as he rolled over and went back to sleep.
Matt pokes him in the shoulder.
"What?" Vinny asked him in an annoyed voice.
"Nothing." Matt said in a low tone.
"You poked me in the shoulder for a reason. Now, what was that reason?" Vinny then asked him.
"I wanted to tell I'm leaving for school now." Matt said to him.
"Have a good day." Vinny said to him.
"I'll try." Matt replied as he went out the door and walked to school.
Lorraine sees Vinny sleeping on the couch.
"What's wrong?" Lorraine asked him.
"Shamu woke me up at one in the morning." Vinny replied.
"Stop calling Sarah Shamu." Lorraine told him as she slapped him in the arm.
"I really didn't fell that because I lost all feeling in my body because of how tired I am." Vinny told her.
Lorraine sighs and leaves him alone. Sarah then walks into the house.
"How the hell did you fit through that door?" Vinny asked her.
"Shut up Vinny. I'm not in the mood right now." Sarah scowled.
Sarah walks into the kitchen.
"What's wrong?" Lorraine asked her.
"You know who is coming up this week." Sarah told her.
"You mean Don?" Lorraine whispered to her.
Sarah nods her head.
"He's the father of your baby. Of course he's coming up for that." Lorraine then told her.
"Who's the father of Sarah's baby?" Vinny asked as he walked into the kitchen, went into the fridge and took out the carton of Minute Maid Lemonade.
"His name is none of your business." Sarah hissed at him.
Vinny shruggs his shoulder and drinks the lemonade from the carton.
"That's disgusting. Use a glass." Lorraine told him.
"Don't need one." Vinny replied as he put the carton back in the fridge.
"You're such a Caveman." Sarah said to him.
"What's your point?" Vinny then asked her.
Sarah scoffs at him and Vinny scoffs back at her. Jake walks in through the back door. They all look at him.
"What'd I do?" Jake asked as he closed the back door.
"You can be more helpful that's what you can do." Vinny told him.
"Be helpful, how?" Jake then asked him taking the lemonade from the fridge.
"Like helping Sarah around the house while she's in this state." Vinny said to him.
"Everytime I try she tells me I'm doing it wrong and sends me home." Jake replied pouring the lemonade into a glass.
"I wouldn't drink that if I was you." Sarah warned him.
"Why not?" Jake asked as he took a drink from the glass.
"Never mind." Sarah then told him.
Jake shruggs his shoulders and continues to drink the lemonade.
"You're disgusting." Lorraine then told Jake as he finished the lemonade.
"What'd I do?" Jake asked her.
Lorraine and Sarah walk out of the kitchen.
Jake looks at Vinny.
"Don't look at me." Vinny told him.
Jake leaves the house through the back door.
"Don't you have to go get Matt from school?" Lorraine asked Vinny.
"I was just going there now." Vinny said as he grabbed his car keys and walked out the door.
"How come you're upset that Don's coming up here?" Lorraine asked Sarah.
"He didn't come up when I first became pregnant. He's only coming up so he can look good." Sarah replied.
"Look good how?" Lorraine then asked her.
"So, people can't say that he didn't even show up for the birth of his son. He doesn't want to ruin his reputation." Sarah sighed as she folded her arms.
"What reputation?" Lorraine then asked her.
"In Miami. Everybody loves him down there just because he plays Quarterback for the Dolphins." Sarah told her.
"And because he's a hometown guy." Lorraine then told her.
"He was born in Miami and did go to the University of Miami and play football there. He also won two National Championships and a SuperBowl for Miami." Sarah then explained.
"How do you know he did all that?" Lorraine then asked her.
"I followed his college and pro career." Sarah replied.
"You love him." Lorraine said to her.
"I did at first, then Elliot moved in down the block." Sarah told her.
"Is Elliot ever going to ask you to marry him?" Lorraine then asked Sarah.
"I don't know what he's going to do." Sarah told her.
"I knew Vinny was going to ask me." Lorraine smiled.
"How?" Sarah then asked her.
"When I met his Aunt Marie and Uncle Frank." Lorraine replied.
"You met them when you two first starting dating." Sarah responded.
"We only dated for a week when I met them." Lorraine told her.
"How did you know Vinny was going to ask you after only dating him for a week?" Sarah then asked her.
"He wouldn't of introduced me to those two if he didn't all ready know I was the one for him." Lorraine smirked.
"I see your point." Sarah said to her.
