"RJ come on. We have to pick Jenna up in 15 minutes and we might hit traffic." Roger called out to his son as he and Marty put their coats on.
"I can't believe our little boy is going on a date." Marty said smiling up at Roger.
"I know. I'm just glad we're here to see it." he told her wrapping his arms around her waist.
"I hope he doesn't kiss her." she said looking up into Roger's eyes.
"Remember our first date?" he asked smiling down at her.
"In the police station. I remember how freaked out you were. Worrying about my feelings." she said caressing his face.
"Things worked out, huh?" he said leaning down to kiss her.
"Ew, guys. Do you mind? I hope you don't do that in front of Jenna. You're gonna freak her out." RJ said coming out of his room. He had on a black button up shirt, black jeans and looked just like Roger did when he was 12 years old.
"Sorry baby boy. I love your mom. Get over it." Roger said as he leaned down to kiss her again.
"Whatever, let's just go." he said grabbing his leather jacket and walking out the door. He was taller than Marty, and was gaining on Roger already.
"We're coming." Roger said laughing.
"I am so not liking adolescent boys." Marty said laughing.
"Get used to it Baby. It's gonna get worse before it gets better." he told her closing the loft door and going down stairs.
"I'm glad Uncle Mark and Aunt Julia let us borrow their car." he said hopping in the back seat of the jeep.
"Yeah, it's cooler than Aunt Joanne's car, huh?" Roger said looking back at his son.
"It so is. Where are Uncle Mark and Aunt Julia anyway?" RJ asked buckling his seat belt.
"At the Life Cafe. We're meeting them there after we drop you and Jenna off at the dance." Marty said smiling at him.
"Cool." he said as Roger pulled away and headed to RJ's girlfriend Jenna's house.
"Hi Jenna. Are you looking forward to the dance?" Marty asked as she and RJ got into the car.
"Yes Mrs. Davis." she said. She was so sweet. She had light brown hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing a pretty pink dress with a pink ribbon in her hair.
"Mrs. Davis." Marty mouthed to Roger finding it very amusing.
"Have fun you two and we'll be here to pick you up at 10. And no leaving school grounds Roger Aaron." Roger said smiling at them as they pulled up to the school.
"I won't dad. Thanks. See you at 10. Have fun with Uncle Mark and Aunt Julia. Bye mom." he said smiling at his parents trying to be cool in front of his girlfriend.
"Our little boy." Marty said with tears in her eyes.
"Yeah, he's turning into quite the heartbreaker." he said as he got back in the jeep.
"Just like his daddy." she said leaning over to kiss him.
"I love you Marty." Roger said holding her face in his hands.
"Oh Roger, I so love you too." she said smiling at him before he kissed her again and they left to meet Mark and Julia at the Life Cafe.
"So did the terror get off on his first date OK?" Mark asked sitting in the booth with his arm around his wife.
"Yeah, they looked so cute Mark. You should have seen them. And she called me Mrs. Davis." Marty said laughing.
"People have been calling you Mrs. Davis for almost 18 years Marty. It's not new." Mark said laughing.
"But not my sons girlfriend." she said laughing.
"Oh gotcha. Feeling old are we?" Julia said laughing as Marty and Roger looked at each other.
"Nah, just lucky." Roger said holding Marty's hand.
"Yeah, I'd say lucky too." Marty said running her free hand through Roger's hair.
"Do you believe he actually asked us not to be ourselves around Jenna?" Roger said laughing.
"Oh the lovey dovey, smoochy stuff?" Julia said laughing.
"Pretty much." Marty said laughing.
"That kid is not gonna realize until he's older how lucky he is to have been raised by parents who love each other. I grew up in a house hold where my parents only stayed married for us kids and it was the worst environment for a kid." Julia said smiling at them.
"I think it's hard for him to realize that we had a life together before he was born." Marty told her laughing.
"Yeah and believe it or not, nothing has changed. They are exactly as they always were." Mark said laughing.
"Well when you have been living day to day like we have, everyday counts." Marty said looking up at Roger. "You have to celebrate everyday with what's important and that's love." she said smiling at Julia.
"You guys are so incredible. I was always inspired by your love." Julia said smiling at Mark.
"Thanks." Marty said smiling up at Roger. They ate dinner and Marty and Roger went to get RJ and Jenna from the dance. After they dropped Jenna off at home Roger and Marty looked at each other. The suspense was killing them.
"So, how did it go?" Roger asked playing it cool.
"Good." he said being mysterious.
"Roger Aaron Davis Jr. you know what your father is asking you. Did you kiss her?" Marty asked turning around to face him.
"Mom." he said surprised as Roger's jaw dropped.
"I'm sorry, I'm curious." she said laughing.
"No, I didn't kiss her mom. God, not that I would tell you guys anyway. You're my parents. Why do you have to be so weird?" he asked looking down at his boots.
"We're not weird RJ. We just want to hear about our sons first date." Marty said as Roger still drove speechless.
"You are too weird. I mean, no one elses parents ask them if they kissed their girlfriends." he said getting frustrated.
"Roger Aaron, cut your mom some slack. We love you and just want to hear how your date went." Roger said gently looking at his son through the rear view mirror.
"I'm sorry mom. I'm just not comfortable talking about it. Uncle Collins said I shouldn't kiss and tell." he said looking down at his hands.
"Collins." Roger and Marty said laughing.
"When did he tell you that sweetie?" Marty asked smiling back at him.
"Before he died. He said I should always be a gentleman and gentlemen don't kiss and tell." he told them.
"Figures. Torturing us from the grave." Roger said laughing.
"That's my big brother." she said laughing. She swore she could hear him laughing with her. "OK sweetie. We respect that." Marty said as Roger reached over to hold her hand as they made their way back to the loft.
"Are you going to sleep or are you gonna IM with John?" Roger asked as they entered the loft.
"I'm gonna IM with John for a while and listen to some music, but I'll be quiet." he said smiling at them.
"OK good night sweetie. I love you." Marty said reaching up to hug her son good night.
"Night mom. I love you too. I'm sorry again about what I said to you guys in the car. You really are cool parents. It's just weird having cool parents when all my friends have normal, boring parents." he said hugging his mother.
"That's OK my boy. We love you, you know. With all of our hearts." she said smilng at him.
"I know mom." he said looking up at Roger.
Good night RJ. I love you kid." he said hugging him.
Night dad. I love you too." he said before going into his room.
"He is some kid, huh?" Marty said as Roger come up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Yeah he is." he said kissing her neck before they went into their room to go to bed.
