Chapter 89 The Christmas Party

Izzy's POV

It was December 23, and we were getting ready for the Christmas Party. I was getting the cookies out of the oven, while Jake and Cubby were getting the kids ready.

"Hey, Izzy!" Jake said to me as he came into the kitchen.

"Oh hello Ho ho ho!" I said to him.

"Okay don't go all Santa Claus on me." Jake said to me.

"Fine. So anyway, are the kids and Cubby ready?" I asked him

" Cubby, are you guys ready?" Jake asked him.

"Hold on Jake I'm fixing my zipper, from my pants." Cubby said to him.

" Since when did you wear pants?" Jake asked him.

" Just now buddy, a plus it's snowing outside. So I want to be really warm. That way, I don't catch a cold." Cubby said to him.

" Okay well hurry up, because I think Izzy's cookies are now getting more delicious than ever, cuz I also want to go to the dance studio, and the party like there's no tomorrow." Jake said to him.

"CUBBY!" Jake yelled as cubby was Cubby with the kids then he lost his balance and broke a lamp.

"Nice going you broke a lamp." Jake said to him.

"Well how was I supposed to know that I would be the one breaking the lamp?" Cubby asked him.

" Boys stop fighting, it's the holiday season. It's a time to celebrate Christmas and New year's that's going to happen soon. Actually, it's this week." I said to them.

"Yeah! Come on let's go to the dance studio, and party." Jake said to us as we all went to the dance studio while I grabbed the holiday cookies.

As we arrived into Studio A, everyone we know was there, even Laquan and his girlfriend who was still pregnant.

"Okay when is that baby going to be due?" Laquan asked his girlfriend.

"Soon. I guess it's taking longer than I thought. If you keep yelling at me, it's going to take longer." Diandra said to him.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, no yelling." I said to them.

"Sorry Izzy." Laquan said to me.

"Yeah when is that baby due?" Jake asked them.

"Uh Laquan, I think you're drooling." Austin said to him.

" Oh that's not my drool. Wait a second..." Laquan said to him as he turned to his girlfriend.

"Wait that's just punch thank Goodness." Laquan said to himself.

"okay I'm a mother of two kids, and I know that the baby's been in your belly for 2 months only Diandra. And plus the baby would die if it came out too early." I said to her.

"Thanks for the tip Dr. Green." Laquan said to me.

"Don't mention it. Oh and one more thing Mr Suarez, if you ever hurt my little girl again, I will haunt you in your nightmares and you won't ever ever live again." I said to him.

"Messenger received." Laquan said to me.

"So, I'm guessing Jake told you about what happened?" Laquan asked me.

" You bet he did. Because YOU WOULD HAVE KILLED HER!" I said to him.

"Izzy, I think he got the message." Jake said to me.

"Are we late for the party?" Teddy Duncan asked us.

"No you're right on time, and I see you brought Charlie and Toby." I said to her.

" Well yeah I couldn't trust my dad anymore this time actually, I couldn't trust him ever again." Teddy said to me.

"Oh Yeah." I said to her as Princess was loved strucked by Toby.

"Oh Toby about a new friend." Teddy said to me.

"Yeah I guess Princess did too." I said to her.

"Hey what's going on here guys? Oh hey Teddy!" Jake asked us.

"Toby and Princess." We both said to him.

"Okay they're not going to accidentally fall in love right? Cuz I'm okay with them just being friends." Jake asked us.

"Oh Jake you're being another protective. Yeah I mean I remember my Mom and Dad told me Charlie had her first crush." Teddy said to him.

"And how did that go?" Jake

asked her.

"Well, not so good." Teddy said to him.

"So you girls are okay with our kids having their first crush on each other right?" Jake asked us.

"Oh yeah totally." Both Teddy and i said to him.

"Why?" Teddy asked him.

" Oh I don't know. Possible reasons." Jake said to her.

"Jake to be honest with you, I had a crush on you when we were there age." I said to him.

" How old were we?" Jake asked me.

" Let's see we're 12 now, so that made us... Oh look at that little toddlers." I said to him.

" But you do realize that I was older than you? And this was way before Cubby arrived." Jake said to me.

" No actually Jake, Izzy fell in love with you when she was six." Peter said to him.

" Peter Pan what are you doing at this party?" I asked him.

"It's almost Christmas, I can't enjoy a party but my Maties?" Peter asked us.

" Okay finally you can join, there's cookies on the table and punch go knock yourself out." Jake said to him.

"Sweet thank you Jake!" Peter said as he left.

"Hey Jake Izzy, who's doing the DJ?" Cubby asked us.

"We don't need a DJ we're good." Jake said to him.

"Okay!" Cubby said to him

Cubby's POV

Whole Jake and Izzy were talking to Teddy, I was dancing with Princess while holding her hands.

"Are you enjoying your first Christmas Party?" I asked her.

"Yes, Uncle Cubby." Princess said to me as I smiled.

"Cool!" I said to her.

"Uncle Cubby, can you take me to the bathroom?" Princess asked me as I took her to use the restroom.

Izzy's POV

While I was holding baby Jay in my arms Jake him and I were dancing to the Christmas music.

"Aww, baby Jay loves the songs, Jake." I said to him.

" Looks like our little boy is about to grow up to be a rock star one day. Isn't that right Baby Jay?" Jake asked him as he clapped his hands and giggled.

" Aww, just like Austin." I said to him.

"Actually 8/Izzy and Jake, before I wanted to be a performer, I wanted to be a ballerina. Did I just said that out loud?" Austin asked us.

"YES!" We all said to him.

" Austin, here are your slippers, and your tutu." Laquan said to him folding out a pair of tutus and slippers.

"Yeah, I'm not wearing those." Austin said to him.

"Shoot yourself, I'm going to go out on the porch and burn them." Laquan said to him.

"Wait now hold up a second, I'll take those off your hands." Jenny said to him.

" All right then, here you go." Laquan said to her as he handed the slippers and tutu.

"What are you going to do with these?" Laquan asked her.

" I have a friend that has a little cousin, so I'll just give it to her." Jenny said to him.

" Okay. But don't tell her it's from me, tell her it's from Santa." Laquan said to her.

"Okay then." Jenny said as she left.

Cubby's POV

As I came back with Princess from the bathroom, she went to the table grabbed a cookie and started to dance with Charlie and Toby.

"Aww, look at your kids dancing with Toby and Charlie Teddy said to us.

"Yeah!" We all said to her.

"So, how long do you think Toby and Princess would be a couple?" I asked them.

" I'll give it 20 years." Izzy said to me.

"Same." Teddy and Jake said to me.

"Cubby!" Stormy called for me.

"Stormy! What are you doing here?" I asked her.

"What I can't see my favorite cute adorable boyfriend." Stormy said to me.

"Aww, thanks!" I said to her.

"I got you a little something. Look up." Stormy said to me as I looked up.

"Oh it's a mistletoe." I said to her.

"Cubby, just kiss me under it." Stormy said to me as I kissed her under the mistletoe.

"Aww!" Jenny said to us.

"I know she's a nice girl." I said to her.

"Oh I wasn't talking to you Cubby. Matthew got me a necklace." Jen said to me.

"Wait how did Matthew got you a necklace when he's not even here?" I asked her.

" Oh he got it for me yesterday." Jenny said to me.

"So he brought it for you the day before Christmas?" Stormy asked her.

" Yes he did! Isn't he a nice guy?" Jen asked us.

" Yeah, but I thought Laquan was a nice guy." I said to her.

" Hey I'm standing right here." Laquan said to me.

" Well, he is and I love him as a Big brother." Jen said to us.

"Aww, I love you as a little sister." Laquan said to her.

"I'm going to go get some punch." Laquan said to us as he went to get some punch.

"Anyway, why couldn't Matthew come to the Christmas party Jenny?" I asked her.

"He had a family emergency." Jenny said to me.

"Oh man. I hope his family is okay." Stormy said to her.

"Don't worry." Jenny said to me.

Laquan's POV

As I was drinking my punch, I got a text from my big brother Manny. And it was a sad one. So, I dropped my drink on the floor and left the studio.

Jake's POV

As I saw Laquan spilled his drink on the floor, I want to go find him.

Once I was about to pass the bathroom, I heard crying coming from inside. So, I went inside the boys bathroom open one of the stoles, and saw laquan crying on the toilet.

"Hey you okay?" I asked him.

"Jake, my little brother just died." Laquan said to me.

"Oh man." I said to him.

"Do you want to talk about it in front of everyone? I think Luke would understand." I asked him.

"Yes!" Laquan said as I helped him up and went back to studio A

"Everyone, can I have your attention please." I said to them.

" First of all thank you to everyone for coming to our first ever Christmas party here in Studio A. Now before you guys start crying your eyes out, Mr Suarez as something to say." I said to them.

" Hey everyone, so I guess you're all wondering why I left. I just got a text from my big brother saying that my little brother Aldo, just died due to a really really really really really really really really bad seizure." Laquan said to us.

" We can understand." Izzy said to him.

"Yeah I mean Luke had one, but we saved him." Austin said to him.

"So, is it just you and your mom now?" Cubby asked him.

"Yeah!" Laquan said to him.

"Is there going to be a funeral held?" Jenny asked him.

"Yes! And if it's not any trouble, I want only the guys to be there to support me including my girlfriend." Laquan said to us.

"We would be honored to come." I said to him as Diandra came over and hugged Laquan as he was now crying.

"Uh, Laquan are you going to be okay?" I asked him.

"I don't know." Laquan said to me as Izzy came up to him.

"If you want you can give me your mom's number and I can ask her if you can stay with us for a while." Izzy suggested to him.

" Izzy, I'm 21 and I can make my own decisions." Laquan said while sobbing.

" Well do you want to stay with us for a while?" Izzy asked him.

"Can I Jake?" Laquan asked me.

" I don't know, I mean you did hurt princess. And we all decided that you wouldn't be near our kids, but since you apologized about hurting our daughter, and I know you're going through I'm not right now so, sure." I said to him.

"Jake we didn't even talk about that." Cubby said to me.

"CUBBY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I'M GOING THROUGH AN EMOTIONAL PAIN RIGHT NOW? MY LITTLE BROTHER JUST DIED. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT?" Laquan asked him as he ran out of the studio.

" Jenny and I will go talk to him." Diandra said as her and Jenny followed him.

"Cubby, what is the matter with you? I'm in charge, and I said it's okay for him to stay with us. If you had a seizure and died, Laquan would problem let me Izzy Princess and baby Jay stay with him and his girlfriend." I said to him.

" Who made you in charge?" Cubby asked me.

"Well Peter Pan did, and I'm older than you guys. So when someone is having a really bad tough time after a relative dies, we help them. Not let them stay in the streets in a box crying all night." I said to him.

"When we got home, you are grounded. You probably hurt his feelings." Izzy said to him.

As the party was still continuing, I was hanging out with Charlie, Toby and Princess as we were dancing while Izzy was in the changing room changing baby Jay's diaper.

"Are you kids having fun?" I asked them.

"Yes Jake! Both Toby and Charlie said to me.

"Jake, may I have your autograph?" Charlie asked me.

"Sure!" I said to her as I grabbed a piece of paper and signed my name on it.

"Here go sweetie!" I said to her.

"Thank you Jake." Charlie said to me.

"You're welcome cutie." I said to her as I picked her cheek as she giggled.

" I thought Izzy was a cutie." Toby said to me.

"Okay all of us are cute." I said to him.

"Yeah, Prince Toby." Princess said to him.

"Princess, did you just call Toby Prince Toby?" I asked her.

" Yes daddy. Because Toby's cute." Princess said to me.

"Aww, that's so adorable." Teddy said to her.

"So how did you like Izzy's Christmas cookies Teddy?" I asked her.

" Oh my God they're so delicious. I hit the brag but I think Izzy is the best cook better than my mother." Teddy said to me.

"What about Cubby?" Charlie asked her.

"Oh yeah him too." Teddy said to her.

"No offense Teddy, but Mommy couldn't cook at all." Charlie said to me.

"Mommy, Couldn't even cook Pancakes or bacon, so our brother PJ had to cook Teddy." Charlie said to her.

As Izzy came back with baby Jay, we were all sti dancing.

"Jake, Laquan is having a sobbing melt down in the cafeteria right now." Izzy said to me.

" Wow, I better go see if the girls need help." I said to her as I left to help the ladies.

As I arrived in the cafeteria, Laquan was on the floor ticking himself back and forth as I kneeled down to his level and rubbed his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Laquan." I said to him.

"Thanks, Jake." Laquan said to me.

As we were all dancing to Christmas songs, I suggested that Laquan that he should stay with Peter.

"Hey Laquan, do you want to stay with Peter?" I asked him.

"Hey I don't mind if you do stay with me Laquan." Peter said to him.

"Yes please." Laquan said to him.

"Great!" Peter and I said to him as everyone started to ho home.

As Izzy Cubby and I got the kids, I found a car to drive us home with as I got in the driver's seat, Ozzy got on the passengers seat, and Cubby and the kids got in the back seat while Cubby buckled the kids in their baby seats. As I drove them home, the kids fell asleep.

Once we arrived home, I parked the car in the garage that mysteriously appeared, as Izzy and I grabbed the sleeping kids and putted them to bed. After the kids were put to bed, Izzy Cubby and were I were watching Mickey's Christmas Carol. But once we got halfway through the movie, Izzy fell half asleep on my shoulder as I cover her up with a blanket Bocce continue to sleep using my shoulder a pillow.

After the movie was over, I carried Izzy to bed as I covered her up with her duvet and blankets Cynthia is winter and praised her teddy bear in her arms as I took a picture of her sleeping. Then I went back downstairs to see Cubby watching binge hospital videos, as I find that really strange.

"Cubby, why are you watching Children's Hospital videos?" I asked him.

" there's nothing on TV show we're watching it." Cubby sent to me as we started to talk about Izzy's experiences in the hospital.

" So, should I change the channel when she wakes up?" Cubby asked me.

"Yes, yes you should. You know she has fears of hospitals. And if you see these videos that you're watching, she's going to kill you." I said to him.

"DADDY, I HAD A NIGHTMARE!" Princess yelled from her room.
