Last chapter! So sad! ;( Im really going to miss this story. I actually enjoyed writing it.
"Guys, theres something Dougie and I..." I trailed off as I watched the scene in the backyard, which led to a smile growing on my face.
"Get back here, you little runt!" Dougie yelled as he chased a squealing five year old brunette around Tom and Tylers back yard.
"DADDY! UNCLE DOUGIES GONNA GET ME!" She squealed and hid behind Harrys chair. Harry laughed and stood up as Dougie came towards him.
"Oh shit." Dougie laughed and stopped running, then backed away from Harry slowly.
"HAHA!" Kelsey popped her head out from behind Harry and she stuck her tongue out at Dougie.
"Keep your mouth shut or daddy will let Uncle Dougie get you." Harry said, smiling. Dougie made a face and stuck his tongue out at her. I had to restrain myself from laughing at the two of them; their always like this. Danny walked over from across the yard and slapped the back of Dougies head.
"Leave her alone." Danny scolded. Dougie pouted and sat down in the grass, arms crossed over his chest. Then a tinier, three year old blonde came running from inside and jumped on his back.
"Oh good God!" Dougie laughed, grabbing the girl by her arm. He pulled her around to infront of him and she smiled at him. He smiled back and reached out and tickled her sides.
"Hey, Kels." I said, leaning towards Kelsey. She was still standing behind the chair Harry had been sitting in, even though he wasnt sitting there anymore.
"Yes, Aunt Jay?" She replied, moving around the chair quickly to stand beside me.
"Wanna do me a favor?" I asked, smiling. She grinned and nodded, so I leaned down and whispered. "Help Elle. Go tickle Uncle Dougie." I said and her face lit up and she grinned out at him, but then looked back at me.
"Wheres he tickly?" She asked.
"His neck right here." I said and poked her neck in demonstration, causing her to giggle. "His sides." I said and poked both of her sides, making her squirm and squeal. "And his feet. But they smell. Dont go near those." I said. She made a face and nodded, then ran out towards Dougie. He caught sight of her before she reached him and his eyes got wide.
"Aw shit!" He laughed as he tried to knock Kelsey off balance and tickle Elle at the same time, and failed miserably when Kelsey started tickling his neck. He ended up scrunched up in a ball in the middle of the yard with both of the little girls sitting on him. Kelsey was still tickling him, but Elle was just hitting him as hard as she could. "Harry! Tom! Control your children!"
"Gabrelle, get off of Dougie before you hurt him. We need him for tomorrow night!" Tom scolded softly. The blonde smiled and jumped off of Dougie and ran towards her dad. When she reached him, he picked her up and spun her around. Harry just smiled and watched Kelsey continue to torchure Dougie.
"Ha-RRY!" Dougie laughed histerically.
"Daddy, help me!" Kelsey yelled and Harry smiled and made his way over to Dougie.
"NO! DONT TOUCH ME, DUDE!" Dougie screached as Harry started tickling him as well. "NOT COOL!" He yelled, then started laughing again. Keighty walked over and sat down next to me, looking out at the two boys and little girl.
"What in the world are they doing?" She asked, smiling at them slightly.
"Bothering Dougie, as usual. Nothing new from Harry, and Kelseys just as bad as him." I mused and Keighty sighed.
"In more ways than that. He took her to the studio last week and let her play with his kit and now its all she wants to do. And she complains over the stupidest things, just like him. Like when Harry hasnt shaved in a while, she throws tantrums until he does. Its pretty funny to watch him get a dose of his own medicine though." She mused.
"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Dougie cried. Keighty looked at me.
"I have no control over your daughter and husband. They make their own choices as far as anything from my mouth goes." I said and she sighed.
"Harry, get off of Dougie you git. Kelsey, come here babe." Keighty yelled and Kelsey ran over to her and jumped onto her lap.
"Come on, babe! Im just having some fun! I dont get to mess with Doug like this anymore." Harry yelled. Dougie took that as the perfect time for payback, so he kicked Harry off balance and pinned him to the ground. "Oh shit!" Harry laughed.
"Alright you two, knock it off." Tom yelled. Dougie sighed and got up, then put his hand out to help Harry up. Once Harry was up, he didnt let go of Dougies arm. When Dougie looked at him, Harry kicked Dougs feet out from under him. Dougie faceplanted into the grass and Harry ran onto the deck with everyone else, laughing.
"Thats what happens when you mess with someone older than you, Doug!" Harry yelled. Dougie rolled over, but didnt get up. I sighed and got up and went out to help him. I put my hand out and pulled him off the ground. Once I got him up, he pulled me into him.
"I remember something going a bit like this but the other way around.." He trailed off as I wrapped my arms around his neck. I smiled and leaned my forehead onto his.
"Only beucase you dropped me off your back." I said, remembering the same thing he was talking about. The first day of our tour in the summer of 2006.
"Do you remember what happened right after I pulled you up?" He asked quietly, closing his eyes.
"Of course I do." I smiled, remembering our first kiss.
"Refresh my memory." He said, a smile playing on the edge of his lips. I smiled and kissed him innocently, the way he had kissed me that day. Dougie broke off and smiled. "Now I remember." He said, then kissed me again, deeper this time. His hand grabbed at my arm, so I dropped them from behind his neck and he laced his fingers with his. He played with the ring on my finger for a split second, then...
"Oi! If you two are done sucking face, we'd like to eat over here!" Lexee yelled from the deck. I broke off, giggling, and Dougie looked at her, smiling.
"Your just jealous cuz you realized what a failure your husband is!" He said. Danny threw a plastic fork at him. It hit his arm and his jaw dropped playfully. "You did not just throw your gross, spitty, fork at me!" Dougie tried to say like a girl but ended up laughing and sounding like himself.
"Again, knock it off. You lot are a horriable example for the kids." Tom sighed as he handed Elle a potato chip that she took happily then ran and jumped on Tylers lap.
The boys all went inside to watch a football match and Elle and Kelsey had fallen asleep in the living room, which left Tyler, Keighty, Lexee, and myself on the deck.
"So, what are the plans for tomorrow before the boys gig?" Keighty asked, leaning back in her chair as she sipped at a beer Harry had left behind.
"Logan and Brigid are brigning the twins to the show, so their coming over before hand and were just gonna hang around until its time to leave." I answered first.
"Tom, Elle, and myself are probably just going to lay about all day, not do much so shes not tired for the show." Tyler answered next.
"I honestly never know what plans are when it comes down to Danny. I never have and I dobut I ever will." Lexee said, laughing slightly.
"Well, Harry and myself are taking Kelsey to the zoo. You should all come with us so that it can be like old times. I could get Shannon and Joey and Erin and Russell to come, and we can raise hell like we did in high school." Keighty smiled.
"That doesnt sound like a bad idea." I laughed, then pushed my bangs from my face. There were three gasps and my hand was grabbed mid air. Ive never seen Keighty move so fast, espically after drinking even the slightest bit.
"What exactly is this?" She asked, smiling as she pushed my hand in my face. I smiled at the silver band on my left ring finger. She let go of my hand and they all looked at me, waiting for me to explain. I put my hand down on the table and smiled at the single diamond that wasnt too showy but was still captivating, then looked up at the three of them.
"He finally did it." I said, still smiling. Lexee squealed and Tyler rolled her eyes.
"When, and when did you plan on telling us? When we got the invitations?" She asked. Lexee slapped her.
"Dont mind her, Jayden. Shes grumpy. Tom didnt let her have a beer earlier." Lexee said and Tyler punched her forearm.
"Like hell he didnt. I got one anyway." She said, then proceeded to pick up said beer can and take a swig. I laughed and shook my head. Some things will never change.
"I was actually going to tell you about it earlier, but Dougie distracted me." I said, smiling. Tyler rolled her eyes again and I threw a balled up napkin at her, which made her laugh lightly when it missed- by alot.
"When?" Keighty asked, eyes twinkling. I laughed at her reaction, she was always like this.
"Last night. He said he was trying to wait till our 8th anniversary, but their going to be on tour by then." I answered, smiling as I thought about how nervous Dougie was last night.
"Did the boys know?" Lexee asked. I shrugged.
"I dunno. I doubt Dougie could've gotten through last night without some mentoring though, so he had to have talked to one of the boys about it." I said. With that, the glass sliding door was thrown open and Dougie came out, screaching, as he ran to a tree and climbed inside it.
"Get back here you git!" Danny laughed as he followed, not too far behind Dougie, but he stopped when he reached the tree. The other two followed, a little more behind, smug smiles on their faces with their beers in their hands.
"Harry, whats going on?" I asked. Harry grinned.
"They were arm wrestling and Dougie won, so Danny punched him, then it turned into a small fight and Dougie ended up licking Danny. Got him to back off, quick too. Then Dougie took off running, so Danny chased him." He explained to me, but never took his eyes off the three Dougie was in. I turned back around and Danny had started to climb in after him.
"Danny, get out of the tree you ass!" Lexee yelled, laughing. Danny looked at her, then continued to climb the tree. "Daniel!" She yelled.
"I heard you the first time, Lex!" He laughed, but didnt stop climbing the tree. She sighed and leaned back in her chair.
"Hes hopeless. I give up on him."
"Love, I did that about 11 years ago." Tom laughed. Then there was a loud thud and hysterical laughter, and all of our heads snapped in the direction of the tree. Dougie and Danny were both laying on the ground beneath the tree, laughing so hard their faces were red. Lexee and I looked at eachother, then got up and walked over to them. I knelt down next to Dougie, as Lexee did to Danny, and we both just looked at them for a minute.
"Are you okay?" I asked. Dougie nodded, but didnt stop laughing.
"How about you?" Lexee asked. Danny mimed Dougie.
"Your both insane." I sighed and sat down. They eventually stopped laughing and Dougie sat up and looked at me.
"Doug, my back and stomach hurt." Danny said, then started laughing slowly. Dougie started as well, then they were in another fit of hysteria.
"What did I get myself into?" I asked. Lexee smiled at me, and Dougie sat up right again and stopped laughing.
"I love you babe." He said. I smiled.
"I love you too." I responded, then he helped me off the grass. Once I was up, he turned to Lexee and helped her up, then Danny. As soon as everyone was upright, I looked around. Kelsey was attached to Harrys leg and was rubbing her eyes. I guess Dougie and Danny woke her. I smiled as I looked at everyone. I knew from the first day I met them that they were losers. I also knew that they would be my best friends, and that I would love them. Guess what. I was completly right.
