It was New Years Eve evening, and we were enjoying it as a family.
As the cake was ordered this afternoon, Princess and Baby Jay were watching nick Jr. While Cubby Jake and I got the glasses all set up.
"Okay, its almost 2018, so I went to five below and got us glow-in-the-dark 2018 glasses." Jake said to us.
"Cool!" Cubby said Ashe tries one on.
"Hey, mine doesn't glow in the dark." Cubby said to us.
" oh they only had four glow in the dark glasses, so you're stuck with a non one. Sorry, Cubby." Jake said to him.
"I am going to go take a five minute break, I'll be back." Cubby said to us as he left.
"Daddy, wen can we eat cake?" Princess asked him.
" Well, once the ball drops course." Jake said to her.
"Okay!" Princess said to him ad she went back to watch TV with her little brother.
"It's great to have kids like Princess and baby Jay. Right Jakey?" I asked him.
"Yeah, it is, but they are a handful." Jake said to me.
"I can't argue with the statement." I said to him.
"No, no you can't." Jake said to me as Cubby came back.
"Hey, guys!'" Cubby said to us.
"Oh, hey how was your five minutes break?" I asked him.
"Relaxing." Cubby said to me.
"Cool!" Jake said to him.
Jake's POV
As we started the New years party, we played games, baked, and sang some songs. Well, Princess and Izzy did. baby Jay Cubby and I just watched.
"Hey this is a fun party!" Cubby said to us with excitement.
"Yay!" Princess said with excitement as well.
"Party!" Baby Jay said as we all laughed.
Once we all saw the ball drop downtown in time square, we all started to eat our Happy New Years Cake with 2018 on it.
"Happy New Year!" We all said to each other minus baby Jay
After we had our cake, it was time to put the kids to bed.
" Daddy can I set up a little longer please?" Princess asked me.
" No sweetie you have to take your rest." I said to her.
" Mm, Okay." Princess said to me as I cuffed her cheeks together.
"Now go get ready for bed." Izzy said to her.
"And make sure you brush your teeth." I said to her.
"Yes daddy!" Princess said to me.
"Cubby did you remember to brush your teeth?" Izzy asked me.
"Of course I remembered to brush my teeth." Cubby said to her as he walked away from us.
"Then where are you going?" I asked him.
"To brush my teeth." Cubby said to us as we rolled our eyes.
After Cubby came back with teeth brushed, he asked me the weirdest question.
" Jake, you read me a bedtime story?" Cubby asked me.
"Cubby you're too old for that." I said to him.
"Please?" Cubby asked me.
"No." I said to him.
"Pretty please?" Cubby asked me again.
"No. Now, go to bed." I said to him.
"I want a bedtime story." Cubby said to me.
"Ugh, Once upon a time, there was a 10 year old boy named Cubby who went to bed good night." I said to him.
"That wasn't a good story." Cubby said to me.
"Is this your New Year's resolution bothering me?" I asked him.
" I want a good bedtime story please." Cubby said to me.
"No. I'm tired I'm partied out I want to go to sleep." I said to him as Izzy came into the room.
"Izzy can you please tell a little brother to go to bed and to sleep? He keeps asking me you to read him a bedtime story, and I told him he's too old for that." I asked her.
"Cubby, you are too old for a bedtime story. So do me a favor, leave my boyfriend alone and go to sleep." Izzy said to him as Cubby went to sleep.
" okay I don't know what you said to him, but you made him fall sleep thank you." I said to her as I kissed her on the lips.
"You're welcome Jake, now let's get some sleep." Izzy said to me as we went to bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, we were having breakfast, and talking about our new years resolutions.
"So my new years resolutions is for our team to win the Nationals!" Izzy said to us.
"Aww, that's ours too." Both Cubby and I said to her as we all laughed.
"It's not and cute romantic it's just weird." Cubby said to her.
"Says, the guy who started to have a crush on stormy when he was 5 years old." I said to him.
"Hey it was raining on that day, and I had nothing to wear." Cubby said to me.
" So, you came out of The Hideout with only your underwear and socks soaking wet?" Izzy asked him.
"Yeah, and didn't your underwear have a little hearts on them?" I asked him.
"Can we please change the subject?' Cubby asked us.
"No, keep going, I want to hear more." Princess said to us.
"No more." Cubby said to us.
"Hi I'm Cubby! And I love Stormy." I said as I pulled out a Cubby doll while the real Cubby blushed.
"I mean it, Jake." Cubby said to me.
"By the way Jake, I never said that when I was five." Cubby said to me.
" oh you definitely said it, Peter Pan probably still has the tape." I said to myself.
" Peter Pan record it?" Cubby asked me.
" Yeah when you weren't looking. Because your eyes your tiny little fives year old eyes, were on Stormy." I said to him.
"Oh man." Cubby said to himself disappointed.
" why didn't you guys ever tell me about this?" Cubby asked us.
" Cubby you were five. We barely remember it." I said to him.
"Was this before you two got together?" Cubby asked us.
"Yes!" Izzy and I said to him.
Cubby's POV
While Jake was talking a walk, I turned back to Izzy.
'So remind me again why you didn't bother to hang that up?" I asked her.
" I've always had a crush on Jake since forever, and ever since you gave me this Rose that's now in a frame, I didn't know if he was going to return my feelings. I mean besides we were seven back then. I guess this Rose doesn't mean anything anymore to me." Izzy said to me as a card fell out.
"What's this?" Izzy asked herself as she picked up the card.
"It's from seven-year old Jake." Izzy said to me.
"Do you want some privacy?" I asked her.
"No, you stay with me, just in case I Cry." Izzy said to me as she started to read the card.
Dear my best friend Izzy,If you're reading this card, then that means I know about your crush on me. And if my future self did walk out to take a walk, then he's an idiot. Anyway the reason I'm writing this is because promise me you'll frame my red rose and hang it on the wall. Cuz I love you and I always had.
Your future boyfriendJake"It took me a while to write that." Jake said to her.
"You did had feelings for me. Even back then when we were seven." Izzy said to to him.
"You see I've always known about your little crush on me. But Izzy, this family can give me has been the best thing that ever happened to me. Thank you." Jake said to her.
"Cubby, are you crying?" Jake asked me.
"No. I was chopping onions." I said to him.
"You're not even in the kitchen." Izzy said to me.
"Well you caught me okay, I'm crying." I said to her.
"Well, stop crying your getting water all over my bed." Izzy said to me.
"It's just water, it's going to dry." I said to her.
As we started to play Family Trivia quiz after Ozzy hung up her red rose frame on the wall, it was my turn to ask the questions.
"So, what is the food Network show Rachael Ray's hosts?" I asked them.
" 30 minute meals!" Izzy said to me.
"Good job Izzy, you get a princess crown. Oh by the way, your daughter made that as I helped her with the cutting." I said to her.
" where they safety scissors?" Jake asked me.
" Yes I would never give Princess regular scissors." I said to him.
"Oh no, I was actually referring to you haha." Jake said to me.
" Wait, I have another question. Did you make the crown in kindergarten Cubby?" Jake asked me.
" Jake just like I told her Izzy, your daughter made of the crown." I said to him.
" okay I'll be quiet now." Jake said to me as I highly doubt that.
" Okay, next question. Who was our 44th president?" I asked them.
"Barack Obama!" Izzy said to me.
" okay Miss Green, your on a roll." I said to her ad I gave her a 2018 cookie.
" cubby where did you get these cookies?" Izzy asked me.
"At the Bakery. I asked the baker if they can make them, and they did." I said to her.
"Well these are delicious." Izzy said to me.
" Okay, next question. What was the popular Disney Channel show that aired back in the 2000s?" I asked them.
" OK Jake and I weren't born okay, we were born in the 2000s but, I would have to say Even Stevens!" Izzy said to me.
"Yay! OK Jake this questions for you... what color is a fire truck?" I asked him.
"Cubby what are you doing?" Izzy asked me.
"I changed Jake's questions to the preschool ones, also I just want to give him some Payback." I said to her.
"I'm sorry what was the question?" Jake asked me.
"What color is a fire truck?" I asked him.
" it's Red!" Jake said to me.
"Way to go Jake got it right. Okay I'm done." I said as I just threw the cards on the floor.
"Wait who won?" Jake asked me.
"Oh, Izzy won." I said to him.
" Cubby, why did you give me preschool questions?" Jake asked me.
"Just for Payback." I said to him.
"Okay next time, don't do that it's kind of embarrassing." Jake said to me.
" Why? Do you think I'm going to do it every time we play family trivia questions?" I asked him.
"Absolutely." Jake said to me.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to do it all the time." I said to him.
"Thank you!" Jake said to me.
"Maybe, once a week." I said to him as I then ran.
" ROBERT!" Jake called me as he was chasing after me around The Hideout.
"What's going on?" Izzy asked us.
" Cubby said he's going to give me preschool questions once a week." Jake said to her.
"And I'm literally going to do it. Nana, Nana, Nana you can't get me." I said to him as I stuck my tongue out as Jake.
Jake's POV
As I was still chasing cubby around I finally got him. Then we started to play another round of family trivia as it was now my turn to get Cubby back.
"Okay first question. Who does Cubby have a crush on?" I asked them as Cubby was tied up.
"Aunt Stormy mermaid!" Princess said to me.
"Nice job Princess." I said to her.
"Okay next question... What does Cubby sleep with at night?" I asked them.
"Bunny!" Baby J said as he got the answer right for the first time.
"Good job my little man." I said to him.
"Why am I tied up to a chair?" Cubby asked me.
" that's your punishment. You're going to stay tied up, until the game's over." I said to him.
"What if I have to use the restroom?" Cubby asked me as I placed a bucket next to him.
"WHAT YOU EXPECT ME TO DO MY BUSINESS IN A BUCKET?" Cubby asked me.
"Would you rather go in your shorts? Cuz I can give you a diaper." I asked him.
"I'm good." Cubby said to me.
"Daddy, I want to see how Uncle Cubby looks in the diaper." Princess said to me.
"Maybe later, come on let's just continue with the trivia questions." I said to her.
"Okay!" Princess said to me as we continued with the game.
"What year was Cubby born?" I asked them.
"2007!" Princess said to me.
"Yay Princess, you got it right." I said to her.
"Wait how would princess know my birth year, if she wasn't with us?" Cubby asked us.
"Who knows, maybe Izzy told her." I said to him.
"And I definitely did!" Izzy said to me.
Cubby's POV
As we started to play Truth or Dare I went first.
"okay Jake Izzy I dare the two of you to go in the closet and do seven minutes of heaven." I said to them as they both blessed deeply red.
" Yeah I don't know about that you see I have allergic reaction to closets." Jake said to me.
"What's the matter Jakey wakey you're too nervous to make out with your girlfriend?" Izzy asked him.
" lNo, it's just that I never made out with a girl for a 7 minutes before. Considering it's going to be in a closet." Jake said to her as Izzy took him into the closet and they started to make out.
"1 2 3 4 5 6 7." Okay you guys can come out now." I said to them as Jake was all messed up
"How do you feel Jake?" I asked him.
"The wheels on the bus go round and round." Jake sang as he fainted.
"Yep, he's okay." I said to myself.
As Princess got a water bottle, she's splashed it on Jake's face.
"Oh what happened?" Jake asked us.
"Oh you don't remember Jakey, we made out for 7 minutes in the closet." Izzy reminded him.
"And welcome back to another Truth or Dare game. I'm your host Cubby, and we are now continuing the game.
"All right Izzy truth or dare?" I asked her.
"Truth!" Izzy said to me.
"Did you ever kiss a boy before you met Jake?" I asked her.
"No. The only boy I kissed was Jake, and only him." Izzy said to me.
"Okay Jake truth or dare?" I asked him.
"Truth!" Jake said to me.
"Did you ever kiss a girl before you met Izzy?" I asked him.
" Yes!" Jake said to me.
"You heard it here folks Jake said yes. Let's see who's the girl that he kissed before he met Izzy." I said to Princess and baby Jay.
"Who was the girl that you kissed before you met Izzy?" I asked her.
"Deborah. But it didn't mean anything to me." Jake said to me.
"You heard it here folks Jake said that Deborah was the girl that he kissed.
"But she didn't mean anything she had braces and everything and she was ugly. She looked like a horse. You know now that I think about it, she is a horse." Jake said to me.
"Wait you mean to tell me that you kissed a horse named Deborah?" I asked him.
"Did I forget to mention that? whoopsie." Jake said to me.
"Well, at least it wasn't a human being. Because Izzy would have killed you." I said to him.
"So, Peter Pan lied to me?" Jake asked himself.
"You're going to have to ask him yourself when we get back to the dance studio." I said to him.
"Wait where did you exactly kisses the horse?" Izzy asked him.
"Oh man I kissed the horse by the mouth. And Peter Pan dared me to do that when I was five." Jake said to her.
"Well, that's all the time we have for today! Thank you for joining us in this truth or dare game, we'll see you guys next time adios amigos!" I said to Princess and baby Jay.
"Jake where you going?" I asked him.
"I'm going to make an very important phone call. Peter Pan have some explained to do." Jake said to me.
"Good luck buddy!" I said to him.
Jake's POV
As I was calling Peter, he didn't answer, so I just left him a voicemail.
"PETER PAN YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE CALL ME, AND YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAIN TO DO ABOUT WHAT YOU DARED ME TO DO WHEN I WAS FIVE AT THE PETTING ZOO." I yelled at him as I hung up.
As I was about to go back to princess baby Jay Cubby Izzy, Peter Pan was calling me right on time.
"Peter pan, when I was five years old, you took me to the petting zoo by any chance, did you dare me to kiss a horse on the mouth?" I asked him.
" It wasn't a horse Jake, it was a pony. And yes yes I did I'm sorry I told you to do that but it was funny." Peter said to me.
"I thought it was a horse." I said to him.
"Jake you were 5 years old, you couldn't tell between a pony or a horse." Peter said to me.
"So every time we went to the petting zoo, you kept pointing at the pony and kept saying the word horse." Peter said to me.
"Where was Izzy in this?" I asked him.
"Yeah I lost her on that day." Peter said to me.
"how could you lose Izzy on that day?" I asked him.
" I was so focused on you, I didn't realize Izzy was missing. Please don't tell her." Peter said to me.
" Peter I hate you disappoint you, but you're on speaker and Izzy just heard you." I said to him.
"Izzy, please forgive me I did not mean to lose you on that day." Peter said to her.
" Actually Peter I remember that exact day, when you were busy with Jake, I stormed off to get ice cream but I didn't have any money so I went to the wishing well, and found some gold doubloons. And I accidentally, fell in the water fountain." Izzy said to him.
"Yeah, a nice lady Debbie the caretaker rescued me. I actually got sick really fast on that day." Izzy said to me.
"oh yeah I remember that it was the day after you got rescued. Peter took you to the hospital to get checked up and you were really sick." I said to her.
"And guess what you did Jake?" Izzy asked me.
"Stayed in the waiting room and watched cartoons?" I guessed.
"No. You brought me flowers, and a get well card." Izzy said to me.
"Oh yeah I remember now. They were accidentally red bouquet flowers." I said to her.
"Aww." Peter said as he was stil on the phone.
"Goodbye Peter!" I said as I hung up.
"Did they give you any medicine while we were at the hospital?" I asked her.
"No. Wait, yes they did. They just gave me some cough medicine, and a nasal spray. They also told me to take a lot of rest." Izzy said to me.
" I would also tell you to take some rest if you were getting sick." I said to her.
"Aww, so sweet." Izzy said to me as she kissed me on the cheek.
"was that your first time going to the hospital, and did you have to stay for a couple of days?" Cubby asked her.
"Yes, it was my first time going to the hospital. And no, I did not have to stay there for a
couple of days it was only for a checkup." Izzy said to him.
"What was it like on your first day in Children's Hospital?" Cubby asked me.
" Well I was five, so it wasn't actually that scary than it is now. All I did was go for it check up. Peter was with me little Jake with me." Izzy said to him.
" Little? Did you just call me little?" I asked her.
"Oh I am so sorry Jake I did not mean to call you that, even though you were also five years old. But your birthday is right before mine." Izzy said to me.
"Exactly. So don't call me little." I said to her.
"Aye aye Jake!" Izzy said to me.
"Don't do that." I said to her.
"Jake we're Pirates we always do that." Cubby said to me.
"Yeah, but do you think it's getting a little bit old?" I asked them.
"It is getting a little old. Okay, we won't say it anymore." Izzy said to me.
"Great!" I said to them.
"So, back to what I was saying, on my first day being at Children's hospital, it was a little scary at first but as I held Peter Pan's hand it was not that scary." Izzy said to us.
" You held my hand too." I said to her.
"Your hands were sticky." Izzy said to me.
"Oh yeah I was eating ice cream on that day." I said to her.
"Jake, did you even wash your hands after that?" Cubby asked me.
" I probably didn't, because children Hospital did not have a sink or a bathroom." I said to him.
"Jake, yes they did." Izzy said to me.
"Izzy, I was five I didn't know where the bathroom was. So, I just thought they didn't have one." I said to her.
"Wait, so there was a bathroom, but you didn't know where it was? HAHA!" Cubby asked me.
"Yes, I was five." I said to him.
"Did Jake stay with you Izzy?" Cubby asked her.
" Yes he did, and he was such a gentleman to stay with me." Izzy said to him.
" Did you have to wait in the doctor's office?" Cubby asked her.
"Yes, Jake was also with me. Since I was a little nervous." Izzy said to him.
"Wow, Izzy your childhood life must have been complicated." Cubby said to her.
"It was complicated. After Peter Pan took me in, I felt like I was home." Izzy said to him while she was crying.
"Thanks, Cubby!" I said to him as I wipes Izzy's eyes.
" Do you feel better Izzy?" I asked her.
"A little bit." Izzy said to me.
"How did you arrive on Neverland Izzy?" Cubby asked her.
"Cubby, I don't think Izzy wants to answer that right now." I said to him.
"But I'm curious." Cubby said to me.
"I know you're curious Cubby, but I don't think Izzy wants to answer your question right now. I mean look she already fell asleep." I said to him.
"Oh, wow that's fantastic." Cubby said to me as I carried Izzy to bed.
Once I placed Izzy on her bed, I covered her up with her blanket and placed her teddy bear in her arms.
"Have a good nap Izzy, I love you." I said to her as I kissed her forehead.
As Izzy was asleep, I told Cubby about how is he was clumsy and found in the fountain.
"So, you already know what happened to Izzy, but what really happened is when she found into the fountain, she got sick and also broke her ankle. That's when Peter and I along with you, went to the hospital and they immediately took Izzy to surgery.
"By the way Cubby, you were three years old back then." I said to him.
" Also, you better not tell her. Because if you do, she's going to freak out about it all year long." I said to him.
"Okay, okay, I won't tell her." Cubby said to me.
"You better not." I said to him.
"Jake, don't worry I won't tell her." Cubby said to me.
"So, during her first surgery, on her ankle, they had to replace on of her bones." I said to him.
"Her Surgery, took five hours. Anyway, after her surgery, she was in the recovery room, as I placed you on her bed as you were playing with her pigtails as I told you don't do that.
"Once she woke up, she was still under anesthesia, and it was her first time with that." I said to him.
"Did she know that the anesthesia was in her system?" Cubby asked me.
" Luckily no. she was also singing baby songs, like wheels on the bus, the Caillou theme song the Barney theme song, every childhood song I could think of, she sang it. oh and you were clapping your hands." I said to him.
