Chapter 2: Brian Anthony DiMiranda

June 27, 2010

"Congratulations Mike." Vinny said.

"Thanks Vinny." Mike replied.

"Mike, we are so proud of you for graduating from junior high." Lorraine smiled.

"Thanks Lorraine." Mike smiled.

Lorraine walks into the kitchen of her house.

"What's wrong?" Vinny asked Mike.

"I'm glad I graduated from junior high but, everyone keeps on annoying me by congratulating me like I wasn't supposed to graduate." Mike sighed.

"Be happy Mike because come September, you're entering high school and that's a nightmare." Vinny explained.

"It can't be as bad as junior high my Gym teacher hated me and I was stuck with him for three years." Mike told him.

"Why did he hate you?" Vinny then asked.

"Jake and Sarah pulled a prank on him so, when he found out I was their younger brother he punished me for what they did." Mike then replied.

"My Italian teacher tried to do the same thing with me." Vinny told him.

"What happened?" Mike then asked.

"My older brother John was a wiseass in her class and she couldn't take it out on my other older brother Rick because, he was one of her star students and he liked to argue." Vinny stated.

"What did she do to you?" Mike then questioned interested in Vinny's story.

"She would ask me question that she thought I would get wrong but, as you know I can speak Italian like it was the first language I spoke. So, I would answer the questions correctly and she would be shocked and annoyed at the same time. Before I knew it I was her favorite student." Vinny then said.

"I tried everything I could with my Gym teacher but, he still hated me." Mike then said.

"Sarah is a jerk at times with her pranks." Vinny then said.

"Can I be the Godfather of this baby, please?" Mike asked changing the subject.

"Charlie and Ann are the Godparents to this baby." Vinny told him.

"That's unfair." Mike sighed.

"Mike, me and Lorraine are going in the order you guys were born and Charlie is the first born son of your Mom and Dad." Vinny then explained.

"So, that means I have to wait until you and Lorraine have four more kids." Mike then said.

"Mike, this is our last kid." Vinny then told him.

"Lorraine says she wants at least five more kids." Mike then stated.

"I'll talk to her about it." Vinny told him.

Vinny walks into the kitchen.

"Did you pack everything?" Lorraine asked.

"Yes but, do I really have to go to this thing?" Vinny replied.

"Bud and Nora invited all of us to be there for Bud's special night." Lorraine then told him.

"But, it's in Columbus Ohio and I hate that city." Vinny told her.

"Vinny, you hate the entire state of Ohio." Lorraine then said.

"Why did they decide to build the Rock n Roll and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in that state?" Vinny sighed.

"Because, that's where they decided to put it." Lorraine answered.

Mike now walks into the kitchen.

"Where are Danny and Kate?" Mike asked them.

"They're both taking a nap." Vinny told him.

"Can I wake up Danny?" Mike then asked.

"Not a chance." Vinny then replied.

"I'm his favorite uncle." Mike then said.

"I still haven't figured that one out." Vinny sarcastically told him.

Mike picks up the baby monitor.

"Danny, its Uncle Mike your favorite uncle." Mike said talking into the monitor.

"Mike, he can't hear you." Vinny told him.

"How do you know?" Mike then asked him.

"Because, it's a one way monitor, we can hear them but, they can't hear us." Vinny explained.

Danny comes walking into the kitchen.

"Did you climb out of your crib again?" Vinny asked him.

"Yes." Danny smiled as he walked towards him.

"I told you Lorraine we need to buy them regular beds." Vinny said as he picked up Danny.

"Is Kate up too, Sweetie?" Lorraine asked Danny.

Danny nods his head yes.

"I'll go get her out of her crib." Lorraine said as she headed out of the kitchen.

"I'll get her." Vinny said.

"How are you going to pick up Kate if you're carrying Danny?" Lorraine then asked.

"I'll hold Danny." Mike volunteered.

"I'll place Danny on the ground." Vinny said.

"No." Danny whined.

"I have to put you down to get your sister." Vinny explained.

"No." Danny then whined again.

"Do you want Uncle Mike to hold you?" Vinny then asked.

"No I want you." Danny then cried.

"I'll go get Kate." Mike then sighed.

"Thanks a bunch Mike." Vinny replied.

"Thank your Uncle Mike, Danny." Lorraine said sweetly.

"Thank you." Danny said with his thumb in his mouth.

Mike goes upstairs to get Kate D.

"Is your whole family going to this thing?" Vinny asked Lorraine.

"Just about." Lorraine told him.

"And Bud wants them to be there?" Vinny then asked confused.

"His family is going to be there too." Lorraine then said.

"That's just great. An evening with your family and the McNulty's." Vinny said sarcastically.

"Don't start." Lorraine then warned him.

"I'm just saying that since you're going to give birth any day now, that we shouldn't go." Vinny told her.

"I'm not due for another two weeks." Lorraine laughed.

"I know but, what if you go into labor while we're at this thing." Vinny commented.

"As long as the baby is healthy, I don't care where he's born." Lorraine then replied.

"I don't want one of our kids born in the state of Ohio especially in Columbus and at the University hospital on top of that." Vinny sighed.

"Who cares where the baby is born?" Lorraine then asked.

"I do." Vinny then said.

"You shouldn't." Lorraine then told him.

"I don't care what state our baby is born in as long as it's not Ohio or Wisconsin." Vinny then stated.

Lorraine smiles a little at that comment.

June 28, 2010

At the ceremony.

"I'm glad that you guys made it." Bud said as he walked over to Vinny and Lorraine.

"Anytime Bud." Vinny told him.

They sit down at their table for the ceremony.

"I just to thank The Ohio State University for honoring me on this night." Bud said as he started his speech.

"Can we go now?" Vinny asked Lorraine.

"Shut up and listen." Lorraine whispered.

"I just have one more thing to say, Go Buckeyes." Bud said as he finished his speech.

The crowd stands up and applauds him all but, Lorraine.

"What's wrong Baby?" Vinny asked her.

"My water broke." Lorraine replied.

"I thought you weren't due for another few weeks." Vinny said.

"It seems like this baby had other plans." Lorraine sneered.

"We have a little emergency." Vinny told Tom B.

"Which is?" Tom B then asked.

"Lorraine's water just broke." Vinny then said.

"Okay, everyone to the nearest exit right now." Tom B told his family.

"Mike get Danny for me." Vinny told him.

Mike picks up Danny who fought him a little.

"Danny, we have to go." Mike told him.

"Why?" Danny whined.

"It's an emergency." Mike then answered.

"What's that?" Danny then asked.

"It means that we have to leave right now." Mike then said as he got Danny to Lorraine and Vinny's SUV.

Mike sits in the back row with Danny and Kate D. They drive to the University hospital as the Bakers and McNulty's follow them. They arrive at the hospital.

"I need a doctor please." Vinny told them.

"Just remain calm." An orderly told him.

"I am calm." Vinny then replied.

They put Lorraine in a wheelchair and roll her to a room. Vinny follows behind.

"You know how much I hate this." Vinny said through a fake smile.

"This isn't fun for me either Jackass!!" Lorraine yelled.

"Baby, calm down." Vinny then said.

Fourteen hours later

June 29, 2010

"Mrs. DiMiranda, the baby is crowning." The doctor told her.

"It's almost over Sweetheart." Vinny told her.

"Don't call me Sweetheart." Lorraine scowled.

Lorraine pushes until the baby comes out.

"It's a baby boy." The doctor told them.

They clean off the baby boy and wrap him in a blue blanket. They hand him to Lorraine.

"What are we going to name him?" Vinny asked her.

"I like the name Brian." Lorraine told him.

"I was thinking of maybe Frank or Ryan." Vinny told her.

"Brian sounds like Ryan." Lorraine then said.

"Then his middle name is Frank." Vinny then stated.

"I thought we agreed on Anthony for the middle name?" Lorraine asked.

"When did we agree on that?" Vinny then asked.

"Two months ago." Lorraine then told him.

"I don't recall that." Vinny replied.

"You never listen to me. I can't believe this." Lorraine said starting to cry.

"I remember now and we'll name our boy Brian." Vinny told her.

"Really?" Lorraine then asked.

"Yeah." Vinny then answered kissing her hand.

"You heard him. Brian Anthony DiMiranda." Lorraine told the nurse.

The nurse writes down the name, time of birth and birth place.

"Hold on there." Vinny then said.

"Sir, I already wrote it down." The nurse told him.

"She just played me." Vinny then stated.

"It's out of my hands now." The nurse told him.

"Then put down that he was born in Ann Arbor Michigan." Vinny told her.

"I can't do that." The nurse then said.

"Michigan hater, Buckeye Bimbo." Vinny commented.

The nurse walks out of the room and ignores Vinny.

"Could you believe her?" Vinny asked Lorraine.

"You were rude to her." Lorraine told him.

"And you tricked me." Vinny smirked.

"It was my hormones." Lorraine smiled back.

"Should we let them in?" Vinny then asked.

"I wish Charlie and Ann could be here." Lorraine said.

"Me too. I'll let them in now." Vinny told her.

The Bakers and the McNulty's are waiting as Vinny walks in the waiting room.

"You guys want to see him?" Vinny asked them.

They follow Vinny to the delivery room.

A few months later Vinny, Lorraine, Danny, Kate D and Brian are visiting Charlie and Ann.

Ann is in the living room with Lorraine, Kate D and Brian.

"He's so adorable." Ann said to Lorraine.

"Thanks." Lorraine smiled as she was feeding Brian.

"How do you handle your situation?" Charlie asked Vinny as they were in the front with Danny.

"What situation?" Vinny then asked.

"Three kids under the age of three." Charlie then replied.

"I'll tell you one thing it isn't easy." Vinny told him.

"I can tell." Charlie smiled.

"All you have to do is show each kid love and give them attention." Vinny responded.

"Can I tell you something?" Charlie questioned.

"Anything." Vinny told him.

"I want a kid but, I don't think Ann does yet." Charlie told him.

"Did you two talk about it?" Vinny then asked.

"When we first got married." Charlie replied.

"Talk to her about it." Vinny told him.

"I'll tell her sometime next week after you guys leave." Charlie told him.

A week later.

"I want to have kids." Charlie said as he walked into the bedroom.

"Now?" Ann asked as she looked up from her book.

"Yes, now." Charlie said as he got into bed with her.

"Charlie, we talked about this. When we're ready we'll have kids." Ann replied.

"I think that we're ready now." Charlie told her.

"Your garage is doing well." Ann replied as she thought about it.

"And you're an amazing artist. We're ready." Charlie stated.

"I agree we are ready to have kids." Ann smiled.

Charlie smiled back and started to make out with her.

"Not tonight, I'm tired." Ann told him.

Charlie stops what he's doing.

"Good night, Honey." Ann smiled as she put her book on the night stand and turned off the lamp.

"Good night." Charlie smiled back as he went to bed himself.
