Chapter 5: The Soup Kitchen
Vinny comes home with Matt after his baseball practice.
"Hi Sweetheart." Lorraine said to him.
"Hey, Baby." Vinny replied.
"I was talking to Matt." Lorraine told him.
Vinny laughs and gives her a kiss.
"Dad, could you wait until I get upstairs before you and Mom start making out?" Matt asked him as he went upstairs.
"We'll try again later." Lorraine smiled.
"I'll be waiting." Vinny smiled back.
Vinny walks into the kitchen.
"Do you ever go home any more?" Vinny asked Sarah.
"Not, when you're about to make dinner." Sarah told him.
"Lorraine's cooking tonight." Vinny replied.
"You wouldn't let Lorraine cook." Sarah then told him.
"Whatever I make you better eat." Vinny told her.
"If you're cooking it I'll eat it." Sarah told him.
The doorbell rings. Lorraine answers it.
"Hi Lorraine." Mike said as he walked in.
"Hi Mike." Lorraine said giving him a hug.
Mike walks into the kitchen and sits down at the table.
"You smelt the food didn't you?" Vinny asked Mike sarcastically.
"I can't smell shit. I'm as sick as a dog." Mike told him.
"Then why didn't you stay home?" Sarah then asked him.
"I wanted to be here when you gave birth to your first kid." Mike said giving her a hug.
" You're so sweet.You can't be the Godfather." Sarah told him.
"Why not?" Mike then asked her.
"Because Jake is going to be the Godfather." Vinny said sarcastically.
"He all ready has a Godson." Mike complained.
"You can be Mich's Godfather." Vinny laughed.
"You want me to be your Godfather Mich?" Mike asked him.
Mich gets up and walks away from Mike.
"You can't even be a Godfather to a dog. I'm not letting you be the Godfather to my son." Sarah said to him.
"You had to have two older brothers." Mike said to Vinny.
Vinny shakes his head. Jake and David walk in through the back door.
"Some attack dog you are." Vinny said to Mich.
Mich whines and tilts his head. Vinny gives him a piece of chicken.
"This isn't a soup kitchen." Vinny said to them.
"It is now." Sarah said to him.
"I'm only cooking for you because you're pregnant." Vinny told her.
"What about Mike?" Jake then asked him.
"He's staying here. I don't let anyone touch my stove. I don't care if a famous chef walked in. They wouldn't even be aloud to touch my stove." Vinny replied.
"You let your Aunt Marie cook on our stove." Lorraine told him.
"That's different. She was one of the people that taught me how to cook." Vinny told her.
"How come you won't let Aunt Lorraine us the stove?" David asked him.
"Because the last time I let her cook the house was filled with smoke. We gave the food to Mich who licked his ass trying to get the taste out of his mouth after he ate whatever Lorraine made." Vinny laughed.
"I don't have to be a good cook with you around." Lorraine replied.
"What about when I go away on business?" Vinny then asked her.
"I have the pizzeria and the chinese restaurant on speed dial." Lorraine told him.
"What about you three?" Vinny asked looking at Sarah, Jake and David.
"I can cook but, why cook when you're next door." Jake said to him.
"You're a better cook then me and I'm pregnant right now." Sarah said to him.
"What are you making anyway?" Mike asked him.
"Buffalo wings, BBQ chicken, mashed potatoes,corn and I made homemade potatoe and macaroni salad." Vinny asnwered.
"I can't eat hot wings." Sarah said to him.
"Then don't eat them." Vinny then told her.
"That's alot of food." David said as he saw how much stuff Vinny made.
"Sarah's pregnant, I knew Mike was coming today, Danny and Matt eat alot even though it looks like they don't. Kate's boyfriend Derek usually stops by around this time and I knew that you and your Dad were coming to see Mike." Vinny explained.
The doorbell rings.
"And that would be Derek." Vinny said to them.
"That's what your doorbell sounds like?" Jake asked him.
"Yeah. You guys should use it every now and then." Vinny told him.
Vinny opens the door.
"Hi Vinny." Elliot said.
"Hey guys." Vinny told him.
"Hi." Andrew said to him.
"Is Sarah here?" Elliot asked him.
"Just go to where the food is. Did you know I'm running a soup kitchen now?" Vinny asked them sarcastically.
"I can see that." Elliot replied as he saw everyone in the kitchen.
"Hey, Mr. D. The front door was opened so, I just walked in." Derek said to him.
He walks into the kitchen where everyone is. Vinny puts the food on the table and everyone starts to eat.
"You need a bigger table." Sarah said to him.
"This is the biggest table I could fit in this room." Vinny told her.
"It seems small." Sarah then said to him.
"That's because you're huge right now." Vinny replied.
"Vinny, can we please get through one dinner without you and Sarah going at it?" Lorraine asked him.
"Wouldn't it be great if someone from my family were here right now?" Vinny asked Lorraine.
"Maybe your cousin Robert and his family as long as he doesn't touch food to his chin." Lorraine said to him.
The doorbell rings. Lorraine goes to answer it.
"Hi Aunt Lorraine." Don said with his face still red from Sarah slapping him.
"Don, what the hell are you doing in Chicago?" Vinny asked him as he got up the table.
"Hey Uncle Vinny." Don said giving him a hug.
"Come in. You hungry?" Vinny asked him.
"Not really." Don replied.
"I made plenty." Vinny told him as they walked into the dinning room.
Don looks at Sarah as he sits down.
"This is weird." Jake said to Sarah.
"What's weird?" Vinny then asked him.
"Don and Sarah being in the same room together." Jake told him.
"How's that weird?" Vinny then asked him.
Sarah gives Jake a look like 'Don't tell him.'
"Him and Sarah.." Sarah kicks Jake in the shin before he could finish.
"Are you all right Jake?" Sarah asked him.
"Why did you kick me?" Jake asked her.
"Don and Sarah what?" Vinny then asked him.
"They.." Sarah kicks Jake in the knee now.
"Would you stop kicking me?" Jake asked her.
"I'm sorry. Let's get some ice on that knee and shin of yours." Sarah said as she grabbed Jake and pulled him by his ear into the kitchen.
"Ow, let go." Jake told her.
"Don't tell Vinny about me and Don." Sarah told him.
"He doesn't know?" Jake then asked him.
"You think?" Sarah then asked him sarcastically.
"Sarah, could you please let go of my ear?" Jake asked her.
"No." Sarah told him.
"If you don't let go I'll tell Vinny about you and Don." Jake then told her.
"You wouldn't tell him. I'll kill you if you tell him." Sarah told him.
"You would make my son an orphan?" Jake then asked her.
"He can go live with his mother." Sarah then told him.
"I don't think he would like that." Jake then told her.
"I'll take him in." Sarah then said to him.
"Okay, I won't tell Vinny about you and Don." Jake said to her.
Sarah lets go of his ear. Jake holds his ear.
"Bitch." Jake said to himself.
Sarah slaps him in the arm.
"I heard that." Sarah told him.
"I'm sorry. Now, can you stop hitting me?" Jake asked her.
Sarah smiles as she goes back into the dinning room and Jake follows her in there.
