After they left Shawn said, "Guys we have a lot of work to do, so come on." Shawn had the m follow him to the garage to unload everything they bought yesterday. First things first, and that was painting Anika's room. On one wall they had painted the entrance to Fenway Park, on one wall they painted actual red sox with a blue wall,. On another wall was a huge baseball, and the last wall had written in red Boston Red Sox. All they had to do was let it dry before putting the furniture in it.
The girls got outside and piled into the van. While in the van Steph introduced Anika to the girls. She said, "Anika these are my girls. This is Candice, Trish, Lisa Marie, Mickie, and Amy but you already know her Torrie, & Ashley. Guys this is my future niece Anika." Everyone said hello and welcome. Anika returned the sentiment and thanked them. First things first and that was breakfast. After breakfast they went to get their nails done. Once finished at the nail salon they went to the spa. Steph and the girls took Anika make up shopping after they left the spa. They got Anika a lot of make up. She just wanted a few items but everyone kept throwing stuff in the basket.
After the paint dried the guys brought the furniture back in. they put her 4 post king size bed on the wall that they painted the entrance to Fenway park. Her desk was put on the wall that had the huge baseball on it. Her tv was mounted on the wall that said Boston Red Sox. Her dresser was put on the wall that had the actual red sox on it. Shawn looked around pleased at the progress they made. Now all Anika had to do was wash her clothes before they left to go to the next town and put what she wasn't taking with her up in her closet and dresser. He thanked the guys for their help and they hung out for a little while until Paul decided to cook diner cause he was almost 6:30 and the girls were gonna be home any minute.
After a day full of shopping all Anika wanted to do was go home and personalize her space. She just wanted to paint her room because who knows when she'd have the chance again. Little did she know her father, uncle, and their friends did a job on the room. Around 7:00 Paul called Steph and said, "Bring her on home. The BBQ is almost done and every thing's ready. Anika enjoyed time with the girls but she wanted time with her dad. She hasn't spent any time with him. She wanted to get to know him. She knew what they put on the fan sites, but other than that she didn't know him. They got to the house and Anika walked in and sat next to Paul. She said, "You are right. I'm never doing that again. They threw 10 tons of make up in my basket that i really didn't need. They said oh you will especially on the road with us." Paul just chuckled. After they ate Dave, Matt, Jeff, Mark, Glen, John, Adam, Carlos, Randy, & Paul went upstairs into Anika's room.
Shawn led his daughter to her room with a blindfold on. Once he was there he took the blindfold off and told her to open her eyes. When Anika opened her eyes she saw the greatest thing ever. Her room was the best room on earth. She loved the way they set it up. she loved the paint. She asked, "You guys did this for me?" Everyone replied, "Yup. You deserve it, but most of the credit goes to your dad. The walls were his idea." She gave everyone a hug, and then Shawn directed her to the door that was locked yesterday. She turned the knob on the door and pushed it open. It revealed her very own music room and dark room. She seemed more excited about the music room then her bedroom but that was okay with Shawn. Anika sat at her keyboard and started playing it, but she wasn't going to sing. Everyone slipped out leaving her to take it all in.
