Chapter 9: Thanksgiving Fever
Davis's P.O.V
The door opened and in came a couple with two kids. "Hey Tiffany!" Tasha said. "Hey Tash!" Tiffany said, while hugging Tasha.
"This is Bob" Tiffany said, while gesturing towards what im assuming is her husband. "I know. We met at the last reunion 6 months ago" Tasha said annoyed. I remember her telling me that her sister Tiffany was a scatterbrain. Made me feel better about myself.
"Ok..." Tiffany said. Tasha then gestured towards us. "Im sure you remember Adam Bree Chase and Leo" Tasha said. Once again...Pile of dirt.
"Yes I remember them. Who's this?" Tiffany asked while pointing at me. "Oh this is Davis. Donalds youngest son" Tasha said.
"I've never seen him before" Tiffany responded kind of rudely. Tasha did say she was a smart-alect.
"Because, we got him in New York. Donald had to give him up when he was 2, and we just got him back" Tasha said. Tiffany nodded. "Well it's nice to meet you!" Tiffany said.
"Y-You too" I said-er stuttered. I did not want to talk to some lady I've never met. The two kids walked over to us. "Hey. Im Cassidy, and this is Tony" She said. She looked about 12 and Tony looked about 14 or 15.
"Oh I've never met Tony before" Tasha said. Tiffany shot in the conversation right then.
"We adopted him" Tiffany said proudly. They left us kids alone to talk. Tony glared down down at me. Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
"So it's really nice to see you guys again!" Bree said. Apparently she loved it when Cassidy came by.
"You too. So...you and Ethan?" Cassidy started. Im guessing Ethan is her boyfriend.
"I don't know. Can we talk upstairs?" Bree asked. Cassidy nodded and walked upstairs along with Bree. Attention was then turned to us guys.
"So our Dad got a trampoline in the backyard. Wanna see?" Chase asked. Tony nodded with excitement. "Yeah sure!" He said. We all walked off, I could feel Tony glare at me. What's his problem with me?
-Backyard
We all started jumping and having a good time. Chase kept doing flips, which made me dizzy just watching. I attempted, but landed on my neck. "Davis, maybe you should practice. Next time you mess up you could break your neck. Believe me, it hurts" Chase said, while helping me up.
Adam's phone went off. "Dad wants Leo Chase and I to come in and help with the food. Tony, you mind watching Davis?" Adam asked. No! Please! Anything but that!
"Sure!" DANGIT! They all went inside. I was kind of scared to be in my own backyard now. Tony aproached me.
I turned around and blurted out what I was thinking. "What's your problem with me?!" I said. I covered my mouth.
"My problem is that you think your something special don't you?" He asked coldly. What is he talking about?
"I-I don't know" I said. "You know, not everybody gets a freakin happy ending. How did you end up finding your birth parents and I get left behind!?" He asked angrily. "I don't know" I said. He kept advancing towards me.
"And above it all, how do you end up getting to live with a millionaire?! All I got from my birth parents was a note saying that they don't want me and eventually someone will. The note also said that I was a mistake and they didn't want to deal with me!" He said. He grabbed my shirt.
"I-Im sorry, I wish they wouldn't have done that but-" He cut me off by throwing me to the ground.
"But what? You don't care because you got your happy ending and that's all that matters! ISN'T IT?!" He yelled at me. I had tears forming. I hated it when people yelled at me.
I looked behind him and found Adam. "Hey!" He said menacingly. Tony turned around. "Ohh. Hey Adam. What's up...?" He asked nervously. Adam grabbed Tony by his shirt and pulled his face like 5 inches from his own.
"Nothing much, just saw you push my little brother down and yell at him!" Adam yelled at Tony. "I-I. Listen I-" Tony started.
"No. you listen to me. There's two things you don't do when Im around. First, you don't eat the last ice cream sandwich! Second, you don't hurt my little brothers! I don't ever want to see you lay a hand on him again! Got it!?" Adam asked rhetorically. Tony looked completely petrified.
"I-I s-swear. I w-wont!" Tony said. He pretty much ran inside with his tail between his legs. Adam walked up to me.
"You ok?" He asked. I nodded and wiped the tear off my face. It scared me a little hearing Adam yell like that, but Im glad it was in my defense. "Y-Yeah" I said. He grabbed my arms and pulled me up.
"Good. Sorry if my yelling scared you. I just really hate it when people hurt my siblings" He said. I just smiled. He side hugged me. "Yeah, and hey, you made up for scaring me last night. Oh and I ate the last ice cream sandwich." I said. He smiled.
"It's fine. Come on, Tasha's other half of the family pulled up" Adam said. I nodded and we walked inside. Tony was getting scolded by his Mom.
"Uhhh" I started. "I saw through the window and told his Mom before I came outside. She said he's just jealous" Adam said. I hated that that happened to him, but it's not my fault. Adam noticed my sadness.
"Don't worry. It's none of your fault" Adam said. I nodded. We walked over to where Bree, Cassidy, Leo, and Chase were at. I guess I had tear stain and Adam told them about what happened. "Hey Davis, Im sorry about Tony. He's been a grumpy grump lately" Cassidy said.
"It's ok" I said. Tasha opened the door. "HEY AUNT TASHA!" A girl about Bree's age yelled. Great, still the youngest. I got a few more chances.
"Hi, Sierra. Where's your parents?" Tasha asked. "I don't know. I think they're here" Sierra said. She seems about as bright as Adam. Not to be rude, but c'mon, we all know it.
"Hey Tasha, mind helping us?" This woman asked her. "Sure Tanya. Where's Walter and Josh?" Tasha asked.
"They're coming up" Tanya said. Suddenly two guys walked in. "Dad, you couldn't've made Sierra take the other luggage?" The boy complained. He looked about my age. Thank you!
"Because, she bolted out of the car the second we pulled up" The man said. "Here I'll take that" Tasha said. She handed the luggage to Dad and he ran it upstairs.
"Hi, Im Josh, Im assuming you met my sister Sierra?" He asked. We all nodded. "Yeah, she changed since the last time we met" Leo said. "Yeah. So Leo, we're both 13 now! Remember what we agreed on?" Josh said. Dangit, Im the youngest! Wait, there's still Dad's side. He said he has a brother, but his brother is a little...nuts.
"Great, so now we just have to wait for Dad's side?" I asked.
"Ok then" I said. I ran up to my room to both admire it and play legos. Everyone has their own thing to do, so Im doing my own thing. Dad walked into my room.
"Hey, you know alot of people here would like the attention from a certain 9 year old" He said. "But I don't want that attention" I said. He sat down next to me.
"I know it can get a little nerve wracking. People who know who you are but you don't know them" Dad said, while laughing a little.
I just sighed and sniffled. For once Im stiffling because my nose is stuffed up. "Need a tissue?" He asked. I nodded. He gave me one then left. I stood up and immediately felt a little dizzy. After about a second, I was fine.
I walked downstairs to meet Dad's side of the family. First was his brother, who apparently only has one kid. They pulled up and came to the front door.
"Hey Dougie!" Dad said. He earned a glare from his brother. "Hi Donnie!" Douglas said back. Dad glared at him again. Please tell me Douglas's kid is atleast 8, 9, or 10.
"Where's Marcus?" Dad asked. "He's on his way up" Douglas said. "Any chance he'll be going home later?" Leo asked. Leo told me about how much he hated Marcus. Douglas walked over to us.
"Nice to see you guys again" Douglas said. They each exchanged hugs and Douglas walked over to me.
"You must be Davis. My youngest Nephew" Douglas said. "Uhhh Yeah. That's me" I said.
Marcus came in with his luggage. "Hey Uncle Donnie" Marcus said. Dad glared at him. "Sorry. Dad told me to say that" Marcus said. "Yeah, take your stuff up to the guest room" Dad said. Marcus took his stuff upstairs along with Douglas.
About an hour later we all did our own thing, once again. I was in my room alone until Leo walked in.
"Hey Davis" He said. "Hey, what are you doing here? You have like 4-5 different cousins here" I said. He looked annoyed by the question.
"Well 1 of them is a jealous bully, the other 2 are girls, so they're with Bree, and Josh is with Adam and Chase" Leo said.
"Why aren't you with Adam and Chase?" I asked. "Marcus" He asnwered simply. I still don't get how they hate eachother.
"Why don't you like Marcus, he seems nice" I said. "Because, we just don't get along. He was at the wedding and well, we met. That wedding will forever be remembered in infamy in our opinion" Leo said. He sat down and got out the rest of the legos.
"Ok, I'll pretend I wasn't going to use those" I said annoyed. "I'll put them back later" He said. I rolled my eyes and began to build. After a little bit, Adam, Chase, and Marcus came in. Leo glared at Marcus and Marcus returned it.
"Dad said food's ready" Adam said. We got up and went downstairs. We all ate in random places. I was sitting at the bar with my siblings until we all moved over to the living for some conversation about a vacation.
"So where are we going this year?" Leo asked Tiffany. "We can't go anywhere now. There's not enough room. We just made it by with our family and now that Donald and Tasha have Davis, we can't go" Tiffany said. Tony shot a glare to me. I felt like everyone was glaring at me.
I finished my food and threw it away. They began to talk about past vacations, and family inside jokes. I had no idea what they were talking about, and I figured I wouldn't be the only one, but Tony looked like he knew what everyone was talking about. I looked around. I'm never going to be fully apart of this family. I've missed so much, now I just feel like Im only here to fill a void. I pretended to go to the bathroom, but instead I ran up to my room.
All the pictures I passed just made me feel worse. I got to my room and sat against the bedside. I heard footsteps come up and saw my door open.
"Hey Davis. What's wrong?" It was Bree. "Nothing" I said. I realised I had tears running down my face.
"It looks like somethings up" She said while taking a seat next to me. "Now tell me. What's wrong?" She said. "I-Im never gonna be apart of this family" I said softly.
"What? Of course you will. You already are" Bree said. I layed my head down on her shoulder. "How? I got a huge vacation cancelled just by existing, and every talks about all this stuff I wans't there for. I know I couldn't have known about it, but it still hurt" I said. She put her around me.
"Davis, noone said you'll feel right immediately. You need to give it time before you can count yourself out. You haven't even been here a week" Bree said. It made me feel a little better. "Trust me, we love you. Your apart of this family" Bree said. She kissed my forehead and we hugged. "Okay, let's go downstairs" I said. I caughed a little. "You okay?" She asked. I nodded.
We got downstairs and everyone was watching Dad and uncle Douglas play Kinect Sports Volleyball. "Uhhhhh" I said. Frankly, it was a little scary. "Yeah, last summer they played it on the beach. Now that was scary" Bree said. I laughed a little.
We watched them play rematch after rematch for 3 hours! Tasha and her sisters were in the kitchen making dinner. I couldn't deal with all the people in this close of a space, so I mainly stuck with Adam Chase or Bree. Mainly Adam or Chase since Bree would shoo me off because of girl talk.
Adam Chase and I went upstairs into the game room and I watched Adam and Chase play Guitar Hero whatever is out by now. I've never liked the name so I don't keep up with it. Adam and Chase were tied until Marcus, Leo and Josh came in and messed Chase up.
"HA! I win!" Adam said. Chase just glared at him. "I knew it" I said. Adam just laughed. "See, even a 9 year old knew you'd lose" Adam said. "He can also count higher than you can" Chase said. Apparently I can.
"Nu uh!" Adam said while crossing is arm. I stood up. "Sure I can. 9-" Adam cut me off. "Wait what comes after 5?" Adam asked. I rolled my eyes. Chase just laughed and patted my back, which made me let out a throat caugh.
"You okay? You sound like your getting sick" Chase said. "No Im fine. I just need some water" I said. "You sure? My Dad had that kind of caugh and ended up going to the hospital" Marcus said. I rolled my eyes. "I get like this all the time, Im fine, don't worry about me" I said. We all began to play the games.
"KIDS DINNER'S READY!" A voice said, which Im assuming it was Tasha. We all went down and enjoyed some pretty good meatloaf. Except I couldn't eat as much. I don't know why, but I just couldn't make myself eat it. And I love meatloaf. What if I am getting sick?
After we ate dinner, we all got situated in our sleeping arrangements. Dad and Tasha get their room, Adam and Leo get Leo's room, Bree, Sierra, and Cassidy got Bree's room, which was a guest room. I room with Chase, who seriously won't stop nagging me about brushing my teeth and flossing. Douglas and Marcus got a guest room which has 2 beds, and the same goes for the other family members. Sometime's it feels like this place is a hotel.
-3:00 am-
I can't sleep at all, I've been caughing all night and at one point it felt like I was about to throw up. I sat up and started caughing like crazy up to a point where I couldn't breathe. This house has thick walls, so nobody else could hear me except for Chase, which he got up and started patting my back and gave me some water.
Chase's P.O.V
I kept trying to go to sleep. This used to be the guest I would sleep in, but since Davis got it, now I have to room with him. I heard him caugh and choke, so I got up and gave him some water. "Davis are you sure your ok?" I asked. He just nodded. "Im sure it's just the meatloaf or something" He said. I wanted to take a bionic scan, but Davenport took away our bionics while the guests are here. Except Tasha doesn't know about this.
"Ok, but if you need anything, just ask, doesn't matter if Im asleep or awake, just get me, ok" I said. He nodded and I went back to bed. He started caughing a little more but eventually fell asleep.
Davis's P.O.V
I woke up the next morning feeling like total crud. Chase was already up and downstairs with everyone else. I decided to go downstairs and see everybody. I found Dad talking to Douglas.
"Hey Dad" I said. "Hey, Chase said you've been caughing all night. Are you sure your not sick. I could give you some ibuprofen" Dad said. I guess a simple pill wont hurt. "Yeah I guess that'll help" I said. He nodded and walked over to the cabinet leaving me and Douglas alone. Why is this so awkward?
"So, Donnie tells me your from New York" He said. I smiled. "Yeah"
"Ah New York. The Big Apple. Bet you found some big apples eh eh" He said. I had an empty laugh then Dad came back. Thank you!
"Here" He said. I took the pill and began to feel a little better. "Alright, now go play or something" Dad said. Yep, father of the year everybody! He gives me pills and makes me play with teenagers.
Since todays Thanksgiving, we all gathered around the table and began to chow down on turkey. After a little bit I began to feel whoozy and weak. Great. Chase said there's some chemical in turkey that makes you sleepy, but Im not doing nap time!
After about an hour of talking, everyone got situated in the living room and just talked. My stomach started growling and everywhere I looked i either saw corn, cream corn, turkey, or dressing. I felt sick to my stomach. I said I had to go to the bathroom but I ran into the bathroom and shut the door.
"Okay just breath. I'm not gonna puke, I'm not gonna puke" I said. I kept repeating my mantra until I could convinvce myself of that, but to no avail. I qiuckly head to the toilet and throw up. All that turkey and dressing left me with enormous force. I sat back and began to close my eyes. I was too weak to stand up or sit up. I just sat back and passed out.
Chase's P.O.V
We were finishing u our Thanksgiving lunch when Davis had to go to the bathroom. He'd been up there for atleast 10 minutes. Davenport aproched with the same concern.
"Chase have you seen Davis?" He asked. "He said he had to go to the bathroom, he's been up there atleast 10 minutes" I said. He nodded. "Would you go check on him?" He asked. "Yeah sure" I said. I walked upstairs and walked up to the bathroom and knocked.
"Davis, you okay in there?" I asked. Nothing. I checked the doorknob to see if it was locked. "Davis, Im coming in" I said through the door. I opened the door enough to see whether he was alright or not. I saw him sitting there past out against the wall.
"Davis!" I said. I ran over to him and picked him up. "Chase..." He said. "What?" I asked. "I threw up" He said. I looked at the toilet and turns out he was right."Ok, I'll take you to your room" I said while I picked him up bridal style and carried him into his room. I layed him down and got the lysol. I sprayed all around him and went to go tell Davenport about this.
"Hey, Davis just threw up" I said. Davenport looked at me. "No he didn't" He said not wanting to believe me. "He did, he's in his room now" I said. Davenport zoomed past me and into Davis's room.
We had to tell everyone to leave, because no telling how contagiuos this was. But if contamination relied on stench and appearance, we'd all be dead.
Davis's P.O.V
I fell asleep after Chase layed me down in my bed. Dad came upstairs to check on me.
"Good news is this will only last today" Dad said. I just nodded. And turned to my side. "Get some sleep" He said I nodded and closed my eyes.
So far in my new life, I got lost in the Statue of Liberty, had horrible nightmares, got bullied at school, almost got beat up by my cousin and now Im sick. Things better look up.
-Later that Day
I woke up and felt a lot better. I decided to get up and go downstairs to see what was left over from Thanksgiving. I got downstairs and found a bunch of left over containors.
"What's all this?" I asked. Tasha was moving the containers from the counter to the refridgerator. "Leftovers. Are feeling up to eating something?" She asked me.
I nodded and sat down on the bar stool and Tasha heated up some turkey.
"So are you feeling better? I heard you threw up" Tasha said. "Yeah im feeling a little better. My head hurts though" I said. Tasha came over and put her hand on my head. "Your a little warm. Let me get the thermometer" Tasha said. She grabbed the thermometer in the kitchen drawer.
She put it in my mouth. I sat there for a minute trying to play with the thermometer without messing it up. Seconds after, BEEP BEEP BEEP.
Tasha took the thermometer out of my mouth and checked it. "101.4" She said. I nodded. "Can I have some milk?" I asked. She shook her head. "Why not?" I asked.
"Because when you have a fever and you eat dairy products, the milk will curdle and you'll throw it up" Tasha said. Ew.
She handed me the turkey and I started slowly eating it. She pulled out a bottle of pills, and gave me one. I took it and swallowed it.
"Do you feel better?" She asked me. I nodded slowly. "Good. Im gonna go check on the laundry, so let me know if you need anything" Tasha said. I nodded. After a minute or so Dad walked in.
"Hey Davis, how ya feeling?" He asked. "Good" He said. I started gradually regaining energy. So by bedtime I'd be feeling a whole lot better. Ok so I can now mark off 'Get sick on Thanksgiving' off my bucket list.
Ok I know this was a little shorter than what they have been, but this is only the beginning, I have this huge idea planned out, trust me you'll love it. And I know I didn't make Douglas or Marcus bad people, but I did that to have a great family story. Anyways ENJOY!
