When they got home Helen was waiting for them, "Tell me everything."
They all sat down and told Helen everything that happened. They even laughed again about the Sean and Shelby thing.
Teddy finally asked about going out with Eddie.
"Eddie O'Malley? Do I know who this boy is?"
"I don't know, ma."
Tommy nodded, "Ma, you know his mother and father. They own the restaurant two blocks over."
Helen nodded, "Ok, I know who he is. He seems like a nice boy."
"I think he may have some brain damage. Any guy who is going to ask Teddy out in front of all her brothers has to have brain damage." Jimmy chuckled.
Teddy slapped Jimmy's arm and gave him a dirty look. Jimmy put his arm around her shoulder, "Don't take everything so serious."
Helen looked at Teddy, "Do you like this boy?"
"I don't know, I never really thought about it. We've known each other forever and he has always been my friend."
"When is this date supposed to happen?"
"He asked me to go tomorrow night?"
"I don't see a reason why you can't go."
Teddy jumped up off the chair and hugged Helen, "Thank you ma." She looked at her brothers, "Thank you for tonight it was wonderful. I'm going to bed." Teddy walked to her room and to her family she looked like she was floating on air.
Helen got up and walked to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, "Your father would be proud of you all. You are doing your best to make her happy."
Jimmy stood up, "We do our best. I don't know about these guys, but I need to get out of this monkey suit and go to bed."
They all agreed with him, said good night and they went to bed.
The next afternoon Eddie came by the Lounge and told Teddy he would see her at 7.
Teddy sat down frustrated, "Now what do I wear? Jeans, a dress, help me."
Jimmy smiled, "You've never been on a date have you?"
"No, never been, with you guys as brothers I'm lucky if guys even look at me."
Jimmy's smile became more wicked after her comment, "You'll do fine. Go home, put on something that you feel comfortable in, preferably your own clothes, and wait for Eddie to pick you up."
"Ok." She got up, "Do you want me to stop here after the date is done and tell you how it goes?"
"Yes, I would like to see how it goes." Jimmy smiled to himself as she left.
Little did Teddy know when she left the Firecracker her whole world was going to change and not for the better.
