I'm so sorry this is out so late! Im gunna hav to stop promosing cahpters….anywho her it is!
It took us about 30 minutes to get from the Badami's to our house. I followed Jasper into the Parking Garage and parked next to him. He walked over and pulled Cole out of the car. Cole had fallen asleep while I was driving. I opened the backseat to get Anna out.
"There you go. Come help me with your bags." I said to her. She unbuckled herself and hopped out. We walked to the trunk, I unlocked it and gave Anna her bag and I took Cole's. We could hear the rain pounding on the top of the garage.
"It was a dark and stormy night…" Jasper trailed off.
Anna grabbed my hand and squeezed it.
"Jazz! Stop it!" I yelled at him. By then we were in front of his door. His purple door. Purple. Why purple? It really clashed with the blue carpet. Jazz unlocked the door and held it open for us.
"Ladies first." He told us.
'Why thank you kind sir." Jasper chuckled, and Cole started to stir. Jasper placed him on the couch, covered him with a blue blanket, and took the car out of his hands.
"Come on Anna, we will go put your clothes in your room." I told her. She grabbed my hand once again, as we walked down the hallway. I put both suitcases on the bed and unzipped Cole's, while Anna did her own one. I took the clothes out of the bag and put them in a light blue dresser.
"All done!" I exclaimed to her. I looked down to see the bottom drawer filled to the brim with clothes, even with some sticking out. "Here Anna let me help you. You can go out there with Jasper ok? He will put on a movie for you guys."
"Thanks Ali." She said as she walked out the door.
After I put Cole's clothes away, I went out into the living room and saw Cole ad Anna wrapped in a huge blue blanket on the couch. They were watching Peter Pan.
"Hey, you guys need anything?" I asked them. They shook their heads. "Ok where is Jasper?"
Cole pointed his head backwards. "Kitchen" he said with a slight lisp.
I nodded. "Thanks." I whispered as I walked back into the kitchen. "Jazzy?"
"I'm here." He called. "I'm going through this binder that Mrs. Badami's gave you. Did you know it has a credit card in it? She left a note saying it was for all the things that you do for Cole and Anna." I stared at him in astonishment.
"Wow. You can leave it in there." I told him.
"Why? Don't you want it?" he asked.
"Nope."
"Again I ask, why?" I shook my head.
"Because it will probably just be taken out of my paycheck anyway. I might as well not use it." He nodded.
"By the way on Monday I have to be done my seven if I want to make it to the school by eight. So I'll probably just take Anna since she's on the way. Her school is downtown. And then I will pick her up at two. Is that ok?" he asked.
"Yep! Cole and I will go shopping or the park. There are plenty of things to do!" I chirped.
"Good. Now I don't really have any food…and I don't feel like going to the store so how about we just get take out?"
"Ok. I'll go ask them what they want." I started to walk over there. "Guys what do you want for dinner? We are getting take-out!"
"Pizza!" Anna called. Cole nodded.
"Jazz! They want pizza!" I called to him.
30 minutes later we were all sitting on the couch watching Finding Nemo, and eating pizza. Anna, Cole, and Jasper had finished theirs about 10 minutes ago, but I was just finishing it up. The whole pizza I mean.
"Bed time for the kiddies!" I called. I picked up Cole and carried him to their room, which had a queen-sized bed, a dresser, and an old rocking chair in the corner. I placed him in the bed on the right side. Jasper came in with a half-asleep Anna is his arms. He placed her on the other side of Cole. I walked over to her and woke her up.
"Sweetie you need to change into your pajamas." I told her gently. She mumbled something that I couldn't understand. I picked out some pink cotton shorts and a blue tank top and handed it to her. "Go get changed." She nodded and walked into the bathroom.
5 minutes later she walked out, handed her clothes to me, and fell asleep in the bed.
"Alice, sweetie, let's go to bed." He led me to our bedroom and I picked up some blue sweat pants and a purple shirt that didn't quite reach the top of my sweats. Jasper came out of the Bathroom in plaid sweats and hopped in next to me in the bed.
"Good night Jasper. I love you." I told him.
"I love you Alice. Good night."
"Ali! Ali!" I heard someone whisper. "Awi? Wake up."
I opened my eyes to find Cole and Anna standing by the side of our bed looking quite frightened.
"What are you guys doing up?' I looked over at the clock. "Its 2 o'clock in the morning!"
"We couldn't sleep. The rain is reawy loud." Cole explained.
"Well then" I got out. "Come inside! You can sleep here tonight." They hopped up and got in.
"Why do I feel another little body in here Alice?" Jasper asked, clearly confused.
"They couldn't sleep so they came in here. Is that ok?"
"Mmm. Sure. Now, all of you, go back to sleep. We are all tired." I saw Cole cuddle up to Jasper, while Jasper put his arm around Cole's body length as to try and keep him there. I felt Anna do the same to me. I kissed her forehead and hugged her.
"Goodnight Anna. Don't let the bed bugs bite!" I told her.
"Night Ali." I felt her hug me closer as if I would disappear at any given time.
