Thanks for all the reviews. I really appreciate them all. Here is Chapter 18 it's kind of a cliff hanger sorry if it dissapoints anyone. Read, enjoy, and review!
Chapter 18
Seth is pushing Parker on the swings and Parker is just giggling.
Parker: HIGHER! HIGHER!
Seth: No, you're already too high already.
Seth's phone rings. Seth stopped the swing and took his phone out of his pocket. Parker got out of the swing and went to play on something else.
Seth: Hello.
Summer: Hey, where you at?
Seth: We are at the park. Did you get the plane tickets?
Summer: Yeah, I was calling to ask you a question.
Seth: What?
Summer: Well, Ryan and Marissa are going to move and she asked if we could take Parker back with us and watch him until they move. They just can't get a lot done with a two year old always around.
Seth: Hold on. (to Parker) Hey come here.
Parker ran over to him and Seth looked down at him.
Parker: What?
Seth: You want to come stay with us for a little while?
Parker: Yeah! Can I go see my grandma?
Seth: Yeah, you can even stay at her house one night.
Parker: YAY!
Seth: So you want to come?
Parker: Yeah, are mommy and daddy are going to come.
Seth: Not right away. They are going to pack up your house and move to your daddy's house.
Parker: Okay. Can I go play now?
Seth: Yeah go ahead buddy. (to Summer) Sounds like he wants to go. I don't mind as long as it's okay with you.
Summer: Great.
Seth: I thought he couldn't travel.
Summer: Marissa called the doctor, and he said it was okay.
Seth: Okay.
Summer: Okay I'm going to take a nap. Love you.
Seth: Love you too. We'll be home soon.
Summer: Oh yeah, the flight's at seven.
Seth: Okay bye.
Summer: Bye.
Seth hung up the phone and walked over to the sandbox.
Parker: Will you play with me?
Seth: Yeah, sure.
Seth sat down in the sand and started building stuff with Parker.
Parker: Do I get to meet my new grandma and grandpa when I go with you?
Seth: You mean my parents?
Parker: No, my daddy's parents.
Seth: Your dad's parents are my parents. Your dad's my brother.
Parker: Oh, yeah do I get to meet them?
Seth: Of course.
Seth's phone rings and he looks at the caller id which said mom and dad.
Seth: Hello.
Kirsten: Hey hun. How's it going?
Seth: It's going good. How are my kids?
Kirsten: They're good they miss you though.
Seth: I miss them too. Summer, Parker, and I are getting a flight at 7 so I will call you when we get there so you can come pick us up.
Kirsten: Ryan and Marissa are staying.
Seth: Oh, they didn't tell you?
Kirsten: Tell me what?
Seth: Well, Ryan proposed to Marissa and Parker and her are moving in with Ryan.
Kirsten: What happened to Christie?
Seth: I guess he didn't tell you that either. He broke it off with her because she treated him like crap and she was an alcoholic.
Kirsten: Oh. Why is Parker coming with you?
Seth: They need to pack and it would be hard for them to do that when they have a two year old running around.
Kirsten: I thought he was sick.
Seth: He is but the doctor said it was okay. We are going to have to get him a doctors appointment down here when we get back to get his stitches out.
Kirsten: Oh, that's great. I can't wait to meet him.
Seth: He's an awesome kid. He can't wait to meet you guys either. He was just talking about you guys.
Kirsten: You want to talk to the girls?
Seth: Yeah, if they aren't busy.
Kirsten: (to the girls) Lexy, Ana your dad's on the phone.
Alexis: Hey dad.
Seth: Hey honey. How are you?
Alexis: Good. We went shopping today.
Seth: Cool. Did you get anything?
Alexis: Yeah, Grandma bought us some new clothes.
Seth: That's good. Guess who's coming to stay with us.
Alexis: Who?
Seth: Your cousin Parker.
Alexis: I didn't know that we had any cousins.
Seth: You do now. He's coming to stay with us for a few days while Marissa and Ryan move.
Alexis: Uncle Ryan's moving?
Seth: No, Marissa is moving in with him.
Alexis: Oh, okay. When are you coming home daddy?
Seth: Tonight. Ya'll are probably going to be asleep when we get back.
Alexis: Will you wake us up when you get home?
Seth: Yeah. I'll come in and kiss you guys goodnight.
Alexis: Okay. You want to talk to Ana?
Seth: Yeah.
Adriana: Hey dad. When are you coming home?
Seth: Tonight.
Adriana: Okay. I am watching a movie so I'll see you later. Love you.
Seth: Love you too honey, put Grandma back on the phone.
Kirsten: Hey.
Seth: Hey. I'll call you as soon as we land. Both of you can't come because one of you has to stay there with the girls.
Kirsten: I'll come. Love you.
Seth: Love you too.
Seth hung up the phone and went back to playing with Parker.
Parker: Who's that.
Parker was pointing at something behind him. Seth turned his head and he felt like his eyes were going to bulge out of his head.
Seth: Christie?
Christie: Hey Seth. Aren't you a little bit old to be playing in the sand?
Seth: What do you want Christie? I thought Ryan told you to leave him alone.
Christie: He did, but I don't give up that easily.
Seth: Why don't you just leave us alone. He has a family now, he's happy.
Christie: So what. I still have a chance.
Seth: Parker go play over there for a minute. Be careful okay.
Parker: Okay.
Parker ran over to the playground equipment and started climbing on the monkey bars.
Seth: Parker get off the monkey bars you're going to rip your stitches out.
Parker: Okay.
Parker climbed back and crawling through all the tunnels.
Seth: What do you want with me?
Christie: I was waiting for Ryan.
Seth: Why are you waiting for Ryan in a park.
Christie: I heard him say that he would take that kid to the park. I just want to talk to him and I need you to make that happen.
Seth: You're crazy if you think I'm going to help you.
Seth walked over to where Parker was.
Seth: Parker, let's go eat.
Parker climbed down and Seth grabbed his hand. They started walking away and Christie was still following.
Christie: Seth, you better stop.
Seth: No way.
Christie: If you were smart you'd stop.
Seth looked back at her and noticed she had a gun pointed right at Parker's head.
Seth: Christie what the hell are you doing? He's just a kid he has nothing to do with this. Parker close your eyes and keep them closed okay.
Seth picked Parker up and he dug his head into Seth's shoulder.
Seth: Don't peek okay.
Parker: I won't.
Seth: Christie. What do you want.
Christie: I want you to call Ryan and I will put the gun away.
Seth: What would you like me to say to him?
Christie: I would like you to tell him that if he ever wants to see you two again then he will come to the park right away.
