Chapter Seven

Surprise Dinner Guests

Upon walking their dog Rocket along the road, Billy Loomis, father and husband has was thinking about the way his life has turned out thus far. He married the woman of his dreams, he has two wonderful little boys, two best friends, extended family (meaning Dewey and Gale) and two loving parents who have been there through it all. Despite what has happened, he had to admit that his life wasn't all bad. With the exception of a homicidal maniac chasing him and his family, things were ok. He makes his way up the walk up towards the house with Rocket tow. They approach the house.

"Come on boy." Billy said as Rocket rushes into the house.

Outside of the house, a car pulls up to the security gate. The gate is opens up allowing the car to enter.

Ring! Ring!

The alarm in the house goes off causing Sidney and Billy to be alert. Both pull out their guns.

"Stay with the boys, I'm gonna go check it out." Billy said to her. She nods as Rocket stood by her. Sidney went over to William and Scott's playpen and picks them both up incase she needs to run. It was part of their plan.

Billy had reset the security code on the security panel next to the house. The security panel at the house can control the one panel at the gate and in the house. A car pulled up towards the house. Billy didn't recognize the vehicle or the couple inside of it. Clutching his gun, Billy walked up to the car as it stopped.

"Who are you? What are you doing on my property?" Billy asked. Sidney came out of the house holding the twins. Two figures stepped out of the car. Sidney's eyes lit up. She recognized the female anywhere.

"Don't tell me you forgot about us?" Came the male voice. Billy frowned confused. Who was this guy who came to his home unannounced. The male turned to Billy smiling. It was Mickey. Billy smiled relieved.

"Oh my god." Billy said. "What the hell man?" Billy asked smiling as he and Mickey hugged tightly.

"What's up brother?" Mickey said shaking his hand.

"Hey you." Tatum said pulling Billy into a hug.

"How are you sis?" Billy asked her.

"Fine. You?" Tatum asked.

"Alive." Billy said smiling. He turned to Sidney. "Someone's been missing you." He said as Tatum smiled and ran up to the house.

"Sid." Tatum said hugging Sidney who hugged her back as much as she could. Sid still had the twins in her arms.

"Tatum. It so good to see you." Sidney said.

"Same here sis." Tatum said to her. "Hey guys." She said playfully to the twins who smiled at Tatum. She takes William out of Sidney's arms holding him. William seems comfortable in her arms.

"Hey you." Mickey said going over to hug Sidney.

"Hey yourself. How did you guys find us?" Sidney asked.

"We remembered you said that you loved the country. We figured it was the perfect setting." Mickey answered. Tatum looked at him annoyed. Billy and Sid looked on amused.

"Dewey told us." Tatum said as they laughed.

"Come inside the house." Sidney said as the group walked into the house.

Billy and Mickey spent time talking while playing with William and Scott. Mickey was tickling Scott's belly while William was playing with the baseball Billy. Sidney and Tatum cooked. The two friends spent much of their cooking laughing and telling jokes. Sid and Tatum fixed four plates of food and two bowls of smaller portions for the babies.

"So what has life been like in Hawaii?" Sidney asked.

"Great. The waves are awesome, the beach is ripping and the sites are amazing." Mickey said. Billy and Sidney smiled.

"What he means is its pretty cool." Tatum said as the group laughed while eating.

"Tatum is a nurse at the hospital. I teach at the local high school." Mickey said.

"That's awesome dude." Billy said.

"Yeah. A nurse Tatum, you don't like to hear people complain why did you get into nursing?" Sidney asked.

"The money. Do you know that in nurses in Hawaii make more money than a nurse in the states?" Tatum asked.

"I did not know that." Sidney said smiling.

"I tell you the money is awesome. We have a nice house because of my dough." Tatum jokes.

"Yeah and she owns my butt." Mickey said as Billy and Sidney chuckled.

"And what a cute butt it is." Tatum cooed over at Mickey.

"What about you two?" Mickey asked.

"What about us?" Sidney asked.

"How's married life, how are things around the Loomis residence?" Tatum asked.

"Well things here are fine. I work at a crisis hotline while Billy is in charge of a company."

"Billy in charge of a company, didn't see that coming." Mickey joked.

"Hey, I can run a company and I do a damn good job." Billy said pretending to be offended.

"Besides, my hubby knows how to take charge." Sidney said rubbing Billy's face as he blew her an air kiss.

"Oh brother." Tatum joked.

"What's teaching like for you Mick?" Sid asked.

"It's fun. The kids know a lot about movies in the states. They're easy to teach." Mickey said.

"You teach a bunch of perverts." Tatum adds. Billy and Sid laughed.

"Perverts!" Sid asks.

"Yeah." Tatum answers. "There's a student in his class name Tony who comes on to me every chance he gets. He's like hey Tatum, nice legs what time do they open?" Tatum said mimicking the student. Sidney laughs.

"He doesn't like that. Tony is a harmless 14 year old who wears glasses." Mickey said.

"Whatever. All the boys in the class want to fuck me and have said so." Tatum said.

"Tay, can you chill with the language? My boys might pick up on it and start cussing?" Sidney told her.

"Sorry." Tatum said.

"So Sid, it's gotta be weird doing the job you do?" Mickey asked her.

"Why's that?" Sid asked.

"You're a crisis counselor. It must be weird to talk to victims when you were one." Mickey said as Sidney frowned, Billy frowned as well. Tatum wore an annoyed expression on her face. Sidney looked away. "Shit Sid, I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it."

"Its ok Mick." Sidney said the good mood now gone.

"Well since you brought it up hone, we mine as well talk about it." Tatum said. "Has Dewey contacted you about the case?"

"No." Billy said.

"Us neither." Mickey said.

"So, you two aren't here just to visit?" Sidney asked.

"We wanted to make sure you guys were ok." Mickey adds.

"Even if it met your safety?" Billy asks.

"Hey, the way I look at is that we're family and family sticks together. Besides, Dewey owes me an explanation." Tatum said. "Don't worry, we're here to stay."

"In that case, I better make up the guess room." Sidney said.

"My parents used it last night and left this morning so, you're good to go." Billy said.

"Cool, I'll grab our luggage from the car." Mickey said heading out of the house to get his and Tatum's suitcases. Billy and Sidney watched them scared that they'd lose the closes people they had to family, especially for Sidney. Besides, Billy, his parents and her sons, Tatum was like a sister to her and she needed her sister around for a long time.
