Chapter 8: Out Of Nowhere
It's close to Sarah's due date. Vinny is helping her with everything and Jake is doing his best to help but, everytime Jake does something Sarah asks Vinny to make sure he did it right.
"Vinny, Jake just turned off the heat go check if he did correctly?" Sarah asked him.
"I think Jake could turn off the heat." Vinny said to her.
"Would you just go check it?" Sarah snapped at him.
"You and your mood swings are starting to get under my skin." Vinny said to her as he checked the heat.
"Vinny, I all ready turned off the heat." Jake said to him.
"I know but, Shamu wants me to double check everything you do." Vinny told him.
"She's pregnant stop calling her Shamu." Jake said to him.
"It's perfect it has five letters just like her name and it annoys her." Vinny smirked.
"She's going to kill you one of these days." Jake told him.
"Then who would she bother?" Vinny then asked him.
Jake shakes his head at Vinny. Elliot walks in the house.
"Hi guys." Elliot said to Jake and Vinny.
"Hey." Jake and Vinny said at the same time.
"How's my Pumpkin doing?" Elliot asked Sarah giving her a kiss.
"Is that a prenancy joke?" Sarah asked him pushing him away.
"No. I always call you that." Elliot replied.
"You never call me that." Sarah snapped at him.
"Uh, yeah I do." Elliot told her.
"Don't lie." Sarah then snapped at him.
"Why are you mad at me?" Elliot then asked her.
"You were making fun of how I look." Sarah told him.
"I would never do that. Maybe Vinny would but, I would never do that." Elliot said going to hug Sarah.
"Get off of me." Sarah said pushing Elliot away from her.
"I can't be around you when you get this way." Elliot said as he walked out the door.
"Maybe, I don't want you around me!" Sarah yellled at him.
Elliot closes the door.
Sarah gets off the couch and goes outside.
"You going after him?" Vinny asked her.
"No, I'm going to your house to talk to Lorraine." Sarah said as she walked out the door.
As soon as Sarah leaves Vinny stops working.
"Dude, what are you doing?" Jake asked him.
"Break time." Vinny said as he turned on ESPN and sat on Sarah's couch.
Elliot is at Vinny's house talking with Lorraine.
"I was going to give her this." Elliot said showing Lorraine an engagment ring.
"Why didn't you?" Lorraine then asked him.
"I can't ask her to marry me when she's pregnant. That's how I got married the first time and we all see how that turned out." Elliot said to her.
Lorraine slaps Elliot in the face.
"We're talking about you and Sarah not you and your ex-wife focus." Lorraine told him.
"Why the hell did you slap me?" Elliot asked her.
"Because you're being an idiot. Go ask Sarah to marry you. She'll say Yes." Lorraine then told him.
"If all Baker women act like you, I don't want to marry her." Elliot replied.
"Are you calling me a bitch?" Lorraine asked him.
"I didn't say that. You and Sarah keep on words in my mouth." Elliot said to her.
Sarah knocks on the door and Matt answers it.
"How are you feeling Aunt Sarah?" Matt asked her.
"I'm feeling fine Matt thanks for asking. I wish more guys were as sweet as you." Sarah said as she gave him a hug.
"Aunt Sarah, I can't breathe." Matt said to her.
Sarah lets go of Matt. Matt goes into the kitchen.
"Mom, Aunt Sarah's here." Matt said to her as he walked out the back door.
"Sarah's here. I need to get out before she sees me." Elliot said to her.
Lorraine hides Elliot in the closet.
"Hey Sis." Sarah said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Hi." Lorraine said to her.
Elliot opens the closet door alittle so he can hear them.
"Do you want to know what Elliot said to me?" Sarah asked Lorraine.
"What?" Lorraine then asked her.
"He said that I look like a pumpkin." Sarah said to her.
"That's why you're mad at him? Vinny calls you Shamu." Lorraine told her.
"That's different. I would expect something like that from Vinny but, not from Elliot." Sarah explained.
"I'm sure Elliot didn't mean to say that you were a pumpkin." Lorraine reassured her.
"I know he didn't. It's just that with these mood swings anything that sounds like an insult I tend to go off on." Sarah replied.
"Imagine being pregnant with Vinny for a husband." Lorraine said to her.
"That probably sucked." Sarah said to her.
"Now, that I think about it he was actually really sweet when I was pregnant." Lorraine then said to her.
"That's all that food he made for you talking." Sarah then laughed.
"Every night he would massage my feet and make sure I had everything that I needed." Lorraine said to her.
"I need a guy like a that." Sarah said to her.
Elliot hits his head on the the shelf in the closet.
"Did you hear that?" Sarah asked Lorraine.
"Hear what?" Lorraine asked her.
Vinny then walks in the house and goes into the closet.
"Hey Elliot." Vinny said as he opened the closet.
Elliot waves to him.
"What the fuck are you doing in my closet?" Vinny then asked him.
"Hiding from Sarah." Elliot replied.
"She'll find you there. If you really want to hide from her especially now, just go behind her. She can't see you back there." Vinny told him.
"Thanks, I'll remember that." Elliot said to him.
Vinny closes the closet door and walks into the kitchen.
"Who were you talking to?" Sarah asked him.
"Elliot. He's in the closet hiding from you. I don't blame him after the way you treated him." Vinny told her.
Sarah gets up and goes to the closet. She opens the door and sees Elliot.
"Elliot, what are you doing in the closet?" Sarah asked him placing her hands on her hips.
"Hiding from you." Elliot replied.
"I get it. You don't love me anymore because I'm fat." Sarah snapped at him.
"I'm hiding from you because you always yell at me for no reason." Elliot then told her.
"I don't always yell at you." Sarah told him.
"You are right now." Elliot said to her.
"It's because I'm upset." Sarah said to him.
"You're always upset." Elliot said to her.
"That's because of the mood swings from being pregnant." Sarah explained as she slammed the closet door closed and walked out of the house.
Elliot comes out of the closet.
"I'll see you guys later." Elliot said as he left.
Vinny and Lorraine just look at each other.
"You know what I loved about being pregnant?" Lorraine then asked him.
"Please tell me you're not pregnant again?" Vinny asked her.
"No." Lorraine replied.
"Dodged a bullet." Vinny sighed wiping the sweat off his forehead.
"You don't want to have any more kids?" Lorraine then asked him.
"Baby, we can't have any more kids. After Matt was born I had that operation." Vinny said to her.
"I want another girl." Lorraine told him.
"If you want me to massage your feet more often I will." Vinny said to her.
"Can you make pepperoni bread and zeppelles like when I was pregnant?" Lorraine asked him.
"If that will you take your mind off having another kid then Yes." Vinny said to her.
"Could you also make chicken parmesan with spaghetti?" Lorraine then asked him.
"Anything to keep you happy and not wanting another kid." Vinny told her.
Lorraine kisses Vinny and walks out of the kitchen.
"I think she just played me to make all that stuff tonight." Vinny said to himself.
Vinny shruggs his shoulders and starts to make what Lorraine wanted for dinner.
