Chapter 2, Planning the Surprise

Tommy POV

Well, my trip to go see Rosie started way before I gotted on to that airplane. Remember when my leg gotted broked, and I was on the couch for a really really long time? Well, it happened about a week before my cast was finally due to come off. Almost everyday while I was stucked to the couch, Peter would come over to see me, and we'd call Mary and Rosie on his iPad to talk, but on this particular day, something happened I wasn't aspecting. While we were on our call, Rosie's mommy came into the room.

"Oh, you guys are talking with Peter and Tommy, how nice. How's Tommy's leg doing?" Rosie's mommy asked.

"It's better, Tommy's only got one more week in the cast before it should be due to come off." Replied Peter, as he held up the calendar he and I were marking the x's off on to count down to the big day, when I'd finally be able to walk again.

"Oh how wonderful! I bet Tommy is pretty excited to know he doesn't have too much longer to wear that cast. Listen, Peter, do you think I could talk to you alone for a minute. And Mary, could I please borrow your iPad to talk to Peter about something?" Rosie's mommy asked.

"Sure! It's time for Tommy to take his nap anyway, as it didn't happen earlier today, due to the fact his friends were over and they were watching a Reptar movie on the TV. Wave bye bye Tommy, I'll talk to you after your nap." Said Peter, as I waved bye bye to Rosie, disappointed that I had to stop talking with her and go take my nappy.

I was sick of nappies. Seems all I ever did now was watch TV and take nappies, I was getting bored of the same thing, and I couldn't wait until the cast came off my leg.

Peter lefted the room and I closed my eyes, and drifted off to sleep. Sometime later, I waked up, to find Peter staring down at me, a huge smile on his face.

"Guess what Tommy?" Peter asked me.

"What?" I replied.

"While you were napping, I had a talk with Rosie's mommy, and, you and I have been invited to Rosie's birthday party. It's in two weeks, one week after you get the cast off of your leg, and if your parents are ok with me taking you by myself to Boston, we can go!" Said Peter excitedly.

I sat up, a smile spread across my face, wanting to jump up and down with excitement, then remembered, I couldn't move, cuz my leg was still in a cast.

"Oh wow Peter, that sounds like fun! I can't wait to go!" I said excitedly.

"Well, we'll have to make sure your parents are ok with it, but I can't wait either." Said Peter with a smile.

Later that night at dinner, Peter gotted me moved to the table, where I was placed in my booster seat, with a pillow to prop up my leg. I sat in between Dilly and Peter, at which time, I elbowed Peter in the ribs, hoping he'd get the hint.

"No worries, I'm gonna talk to your mommy and daddy right now." Whispered Peter in my ear. I smiled at this, as I went on eating my meat and mash potatoes that were set down in front of me.

"Uh Stu, Didi, I was wondering about something." Said Peter.

"What is it Peter?" My mommy asked.

"Do you remember the little girl Rosie, who came here around Valentine's Day about a couple of months ago, back when Tommy was sick with that virus that was going around?" Peter asked.

"Yes, yes I do." My mommy replied.

"Well, Tommy and I were having our usual daily Facetime conversation with Rosie and her older sister, when Tommy and I got invited to Rosie's birthday party. It's on what they call Patriot's Day weekend out where they live, and it happens in two weeks, one week after Tommy is due to get his cast off. I would be watching Tommy the whole time, and it would be just me and him, I wouldn't be trying to take all of the other toddlers on this trip." Explained Peter to my mommy.

My mommy thought about it for a few minutes before replying.

"Well, we have plans to go visit my little brother Ben and my sister-in-law Elane that weekend, but they've met Tommy before, while they have yet to meet Dil, so, I guess Stu and I can take Dil, while you take Tommy to the birthday party. I just hope it's going to be ok. My little baby will be all the way in Boston, all the way across the country without his mommy and daddy." Said my mommy worriedly.

"You don't have to worry Didi, Tommy and I will be just fine, and I'll be sure to keep you posted on everything that's happening while we're gone." Said Peter to my mommy, with a reassuring look in his eyes.

"All right then, you two can go." Said my mommy. I giggled with excitement when I hearded this news.

Later, while Peter was giving me a sponge bath, before getting me into bed that night…

"Wow! I can't believe we're going to Rosie's birthday party! I can't wait to tell Rosie that I'm coming!" I said excitedly.

Just then, Peter put a finger to his lips, hushing me.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Uh Tommy, I think they want our coming to visit Rosie to be a surprise. So, you may tell your local friends, but you can't tell Rosie, got it?" Peter asked.

"Peter, it's a deal." I said, as he finished washing me off, gotted me into my Reptar jammies, and tucked me into bed.

After I gotted my cast off, Peter and I went shopping, where we founded a Dummi Bears blankie that I thought Rosie would love!

"Wow! A Dummi Bears blankie! And it's gots Rosie's favoritest character, Jelly Bear on it. You think she'd like it?" I asked, picking up the blankie from the shelf and showing it to Peter.

"Yeah! That would be the perfect present to give to Rosie." Said Peter, as we went and paid for it, and lefted the store.

Then, on the day before I was spose to leave, I sawed all of my friends, who had all come over to play that day at my house, just as they did mostest days, and tolded them where I was going.

"Guess what everyone, I'm going away this weekend, and I'm going to Rosie's birthday party, all the way in Boston!" I said excitedly.

"Oh wow Tommy, that sounds like fun!" Said Lil.

"Yeah! Hope you eat lots of cake and ice cream." Said Phil.

"I will Phil." I said.

"Are your mommy and daddy and Dil going too?" Chuckie asked.

"Nope, it's me and Peter, so this will be the firstest time I go far away without my mommy and daddy, but I'm not worried, cuz me and Peter always have fun together." I said.

"That does sound like fun. I wish we could go." Said Kimi.

"Me too." Said Jesse.

"Me three." Said Zack.

"I wish I could go too." Said Dil.

"You're going with mommy and daddy to visit Aunt Elane and Uncle Ben, but I promise to tell you guys all about my trip when I get back." I said excitedly, as Peter arrived to pick me up, as I'd be spending the night at his castle, before we lefted for the airport very early the nextest day.
