Please R&R. Thanx!

Chapter Five: Hollywood Heat

Simon Camden sat in the Hummer with his daughters Scout, Sailer and Chaylei and three of their friends, Castle-Lynn Simpson-Cook (Jessica Simpson/Dane Cook), and Rhyaleigh and Brailynn Simpson-Olita (Ashlee Simpson/Braxton Olita). (Author's note: Hey, a girl can dream, right? Yes, J/D and A/B are each a married couple in my story.) They were waiting for Cecilia to come back out to the car with their food. Just then, Braxton and Ashlee came out of McDonald's with the rest of their children, Jessa, Jersey and Breckin and Jessica and Dane and the rest of their kids, De' Andrieah, Haeylei, Austin and Shayden. They waved goodbye to the girls and Simon and got into their vehicles to go home. Ryan Cabrera and his wife, Lisa, from the Veronicas, who was 6 months pregnant, came out with their twins Jailen and Rhodes. They had all gotten together for lunch and a playdate.

(Me again, one last time: Castle-Lynn is 13, Rhyaleigh is 12 and Brailynn is 10; Jessa and Jersey are 7, Breckin is 3, De' Andrieah is 8, Haeylei is 6, Austin is 5, Shayden is 1 and Jailen and Rhodes are 4; Lisa is having a second girl who is going to be named Jazzlynn.)

Cecilia finally came out with their refills and their extra food, with Schuyler and Channing following behind her, each holding one of Jayalynn's hands. Simon smiled as he looked at his two sons and his baby girl. Jayalynn's soft blond curls bounced around as she walked. The two-year-old's face lit up when she saw her father.

When everyone was in the stretch-Hummer safely and comfortably, Simon carefully backed out of the parking space and got onto Sunset Blvd. They drove to their house in Beverly Hills. Inside, the girls ran upstairs and into the twins' room. Schuyler and Channing went to Channing's room and Cecilia put Jayalynn down for a nap.

Simon was sitting on the couch, waiting for his wife. When she finally came downstairs, she sat next to him and laid her head on his shoulder. She sighed deeply.

"Sorry it took us so long to get out to the car, Si. I got stopped by everyone. They all wanted to ask me questions or tell me how cute the kids are. I was like, Yeah, people; I know how cute my kids are I mean, they are my own children. I should know. You know what I mean?"

"Yes, but maybe they were just trying to be nice. You know, like when people used to do that to Sam and David when we took them to the playground. Remember how many people thought they were ours? We were 16, for goodness sake. Sixteen! Of course they weren't ours!"

"But remember when we thought about... you know..."

"I do know. But we're married now..." His voice trailed off as he stared into her eyes. Her beautiful blue eyes. His green ones fixed on hers and they never looked away, even for a second. He leaned in to kiss her...

Ring! Ring!

Cecilia stared at her husband a moment longer and then she hesitantly said, "I should... get that."

"Yeah," Simon said, a little disappointed that the phone had interrupted their alone time. He kissed her cheek and she got up.

"Hello?" she asked into the phone. "Oh, hey, Ashlee." She listened for a few moments and then she said, "Uh-huh... ok... yep, first thing in the morning... Okay, see you then...oh, Jess, too? Okay, bye."

She came back into the living room. "I'm spending the day with Jessica and Ashlee and Lisa and Jess tomorrow, so all of you are going to Ashlee and Braxton's house for the day," she explained as she sat back down next to him. "Now where were we?" They leaned in again...

The next day, they all woke up early and went to Ashlee and Braxton's house. The kids all ran down to the playroom in the basement. Braxton, Simon, Dane, Ryan and Steve (Jess' husband; Jess is Lisa's twin sister, the other Veronica) all sat on the couch, eating popcorn and watching the noon USC football game. Ashlee, Jessica, Cecilia, Lisa and Jess all stood at the door and watched them for a minute.

"You think they'll be alright?" Ashlee asked. The others nodded.

"You know guys and their silly football games," Lisa said quietly. They stood there for a moment longer and then, finally satisfied, went out the door. They went shopping and ate lunch at The Ivy. When they finally grew tired, they headed back to the house. They found the whole gang eating take- out pizza. They laughed at the sight of all of the kids sitting around the table with pizza sauce all over their mouths and their husbands sitting on the couch with pizza boxes on their laps. Then they made an important decision: If ya can't beat em, join em! They all sat down and dug into the food.

There's another chapter... hope to see those reviews soon! Thanks, Sharayah
