I'm sorry for not updating sooner. There was a problem and life has been… well, like life! My mom also took my copnputer because her's broke. I actually had this chapter done last weekend but couldn't updtae. I'll try to update maybe once a week? Maybe even twice a week if I have time to write at school? I hope you enjoy this chapter! Sorry it's so short.
Disclaimer: I find these very stupid because why would Rick Riordan be in this site? Unless he wants some ideas so he can put some Tratie in the Heroes of Olympus series! Well, I'm not Rick Riordan and I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I only own Callie and Nick, so far.
Travis POV
I was so happy that we were finally back. Katie and I had gone to a one week trip to Colorado for my Boss' wedding. The guy is so awesome that he rented all of his guests a room in this super cool hotel. Unfortunately, the kids weren't invited so Connor had to baby-sit.
I went to check the mail. There were a bunch of bills, coupons for Macy's, some magazines, and a huge envelope addressed to the 'Stoll family'.
"Everybody, down stairs, family meeting," I called over the intercom-thingy.
Katie came down with Nick in her arms and a few seconds later I saw Callie skipping into the living room. The letter, I had found out, was from this show called "Wife Swap" and since I'm me, and I'm very impatient, I opened it.
Travis and Katie Stoll, you have been accepted for "Wife Swap"!
One of the papers said in bright, bold letters. I looked at Callie suspiciously.
"It wasn't my idea, Daddy!" She exclaimed with fear in her eyes, "It was all Uncle Connor's fault!"
Connor, of course it was him.
I grabbed my cell phone from my pants front pocket and called Connor.
"Helloooooooo," Connor said.
"Connor, dear brother, you're an idiot!" I yelled and then hung up on him. I pinched the bridge of my nose and tried to calm down.
"Travis, baby," Katie started while rubbing soothing circles on my back, "calm down, now, what's wrong?"
I just handed her the envelope and let her find out for herself. If there was one person that would be madder then me about this situation, it would be Katie.
"That little…" She started but then she realized the kids were still in the room and stopped. She went outside to cool down. I sat down of the couch and again, tried to calm down.
Callie shuffled over and climbed into my lap and started playing with her hands. She looked down with a small frown.
"Are you mad at me, daddy?" She asked, blue eyes looking up through her long lashes. I closed my eyes and sighed.
"Of course not, princess, I'm mad at Uncle Connor, though," I whispered. Callie gave me a puzzled look.
"Why? I think it would be really fun!" I thought about what my daughter said. She was right! Maybe it would be fun! I smiled at Callie, picked her up and spun her around.
She started giggling and squealing like the little girl she was.
Katie POV
I went out to the back porch and stared out at the setting sun. How could Connor do that! It was hard enough being away from my kids for one week but two weeks without my kids or Travis will be pure torture!
I turned around, feeling like something was wrong. A few seconds later Nick started crying. Call it a mother's sixth sense.
"What's wrong, Sweetheart?" I cooed. He pointed to the bathroom door. The door was closed and the handle was too high for him to reach.
"Do you need to go potty?" I asked. Nick nodded. I opened the door for him and he made a mad dash to the toilet, almost falling face first on the hard tile in the process. I helped him undo his pants button and then waited for him to finish.
After washing Nick's hands I went to the kitchen to start dinner. Travis sneaked up behind me and grabbed my waist.
"You know, Callie said it might be fun to be on the show," He whispered in my ear. I turned around to glare at him with a scowl on my face.
"Fun?" I screeched. How could he ever believe that it would be fun?
"Yeah, it could be a good experience," Now it was his turn to rub my back. I leaned into him and sighed.
"Travis, you've seen that show, they'll pair us up with a family that is completely opposite of us and make us look like fools!"
"Katie, Katie, Katie, why must you be so negative?" He asked looking like the old, teenage Travis that I fell in love with all those years ago. I huffed and walked away.
"Hey, what about dinner?" He yelled after me.
"You're making it," I yelled back and then plopped on the couch to watch TV.
Did you like it? Tell me in a review! Reviews are what make me want to update. I'm not 'gonna say that I'm not 'gonna update unless I get a certain amount of reviews because it's not fair. But I still want you to review!
For people who are on the Twilight archive a lot:
Help: there was this story about Leah and how she and Sam had a daughter. The daughter's name was Summer Aurora Clearwater. There was a sequel were she got married to this dude and had another daughter. If you know the name or the author please tell me! Thank you!
If you read my first story "True Love Never Fades", Do you think I should rewrite it? I've had some people ask me to continue but I don't know.
