I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Caylee's Point of View-
My alarm went off at 8, I grumpily rolled over turning my phone off so it won't wake anyone else up. I climbed out of my bed and I slipped on my slippers, I opened my door heading out to the kitchen, my mom was sitting at the table drinking coffee.
"Good morning, I'm just about to leave." My mom said, I looked over and saw Jeff still zonked out.
"Good morning, have fun, give everyone my love." I said as I sat down across from her.
"I will, I've been trying so hard not to cry knowing that you'll be leaving in hours."
"I'll be back in a few months." I said.
"I know, but I'm still trying to get over you finally getting married and now your moving out." My mom said as I saw tears coming to her eyes, I stood up and walked over to her hugging her tightly to me.
"Mom, I'm always a phone call and an airplane flight away." I said kissing the side of her head.
"I know, but you can't just drop your life to come and see me." My mom said.
"You just go, have fun, and I'll be back in two months to show you all the photos and tell you all the stories."
"I know, I got to get going, I have to go pick up the tickets from work and head over to Six Flags to meet everyone else." My mom said wiping tears from her eyes, she stood up and took her cup to the sink.
"You have fun, don't think and worry about me, you have MJ as well to worry about." I said rubbing her upper arms.
"I'll go have fun, but you better be safe and be protected." My mom said as she hugged me tightly.
"I will, I love you." I said as she went and grabbed her stuff.
"I love you too, don't miss your flight." My mom said as she headed towards the door.
"We won't." I said as I leant against the counter as she walked out, I went to the window, I opened the curtain, I watched her get in her car, I waved to her good-bye as she drove away. I went back to the kitchen, I started to cook French toast and scrambled eggs, I was almost done when I heard a giant yawn.
"Something smells good." Jeff said, I came around the corner.
"Good morning, I thought you might want something to eat before we started packing and heading to the airport." I said.
"Your mom leave yet?"
"Yeah, like an half hour ago." I said as I went back to what I was cooking, he walked up behind me resting his hands on my hips.
"French toast and scrambled eggs, how'd you know that I like it?" Jeff whispered in my ear.
"It's better than cold cereal, go sit down and I'll make your plate." I said as he went and sat down at the dining room table. I put one slice of French toast and some scrambled eggs on a plate, and I carried the plate and syrup out to the table.
"Did I tell you that I love you?" Jeff said as he pulled my face to his for a kiss.
"Now you did, I love you too." I said as I went back to the kitchen getting myself a plate of food.
"I think it would be good for them to get away from us two for a day, and it will get her out of the house." Jeff said as I joined him at the table.
"She wanted to stay and wait until we left, but I told her not to."
"Good, did you think about what you were taking with you to North Carolina now?"
"Not really, I know I'm taking a lot of my clothes."
"You should pack more than just clothes."
"We should wait until we finish our breakfast, did you have a good night sleep?" I asked as I pour syrup onto my French toast.
"Very much so, this food is great, you learned from your mom, huh?"
"Yeah, that or I was going to eat chef Boyardee my whole life." I said which got him laughing. We finished eating breakfast, and we went back to my room.
"How many bags are you going to take, I know your at least taking one for the cruise." Jeff said.
"I won't take that much, I don't want to bombard your house especially if we will have like five days at your house."
"Fine, just take two or three bags." Jeff said as I pulled out my regular suitcase for the cruise, then I grabbed two other bags to leave at his house. Jeff was helping fold the clothes and putting them in the proper suitcases.
"Could you go get some newspaper from the other room?" I asked.
"Yeah, where are they?" Jeff asked as he headed towards the door frame.
"It's on the last shelf of the bookshelf out in the living room." I said as I went and grabbed the picture frame that held a picture of my mom and I, then one of Jeff and I, then one of MJ and I, then one of MJ, my mom and I.
"Here's your newspapers, aw, you have a picture of me and you in a picture frame." Jeff said picking up the picture frame with us in it.
"Yep, I just got to swap it with a wedding photo now." I said as I started wrapping up the other picture frames with the newspaper and setting them into the bags. I put a few of my books, and other things into my bags.
"Where's the wreath?" Jeff asked.
"I think it's in the garage." I said as I carried the bags out to the living room setting them down next to the door.
"I'll get it." Jeff said as he went into the garage grabbing the wreath, and he came back, we went out to my car putting the stuff in the trunk.
"We should really clean this junk off." I said as I started pulling off streamers and the sign off my car, Jeff helped me pull the cans off the bumper, and I pulled out the hose washing the window chalk off the back window, I turned the hose on Jeff.
"Hey!" Jeff said.
"Sorry, just helping you a little." I said giggling, he chased me around the yard trying to grab the hose.
"Give me the hose!" Jeff yelled as he grabbed my hand that had the hose in it and I sprayed him again. ⌠Aw!■ Jeff said as he let go of my hand and I ran away, he got smart and turned off the water.
"Dang you!" I said as I dropped the hose and started wrapping it back up.
"Give me a hug!" Jeff said, he was drenched and he chased me around trying to hug me and get me wet as well.
"No, get away from me!" I screamed as I slipped on the wet grass, he caught me before I hit the ground.
"Now your caught." Jeff said as he lifted me back and pulled me into a hug.
"Now I'm all wet." I said looking down at my clothes.
"You, look at me, I'm drenched." Jeff said, we were both laughing.
"Let's go change." I said as we went back into the house changing our clothes and headed towards the airport. We flew back to North Carolina, and we dropped our bags off at his house.
"You can get the bottom two drawers since your shorter than me." Jeff said.
"Then move your stuff." I said as he pulled out all his clothes from the bottom two drawers, and he gave me some hangers for some of my clothes. I was hanging up some of my clothes and putting some of them in drawers.
"I'll go put these up out in the living room." Jeff said as he grabbed the picture frames I wrapped up in newspaper.
"Thanks." I said as he left the room with the picture frames, I pulled out my books putting them on the bookshelf he had in his room, and then I put my bags down, I put the suitcase for the cruise in his closet. I walked out to the living room to where Jeff was staring at the photos, he put them next to the photos of him and his brother, then ones of him and his dad, and ones of him, his dad and his brother.
"That's a mighty shrine you have of photos." I said wrapping my arms around his waist.
"Yep, you want to go out to get some stuff to make it more like a family house and get more girly things?"
"Sure." I said as we went into town, we bought a picture frame to put our wedding photo in to put on his entertainment system, and a few little things, like candles, more towels, etc. since his house only had stuff for one person, and nothing really girly. We walked past a pet shop, and there was a little beagle in the window. "Aw, look at that little guy." I said as I stopped Jeff.
"He's adorable." Jeff said.
"We should get him." I said as I looked up to see his reaction.
"We could, but how are we going to be able to take care of him if we are going to be gone for two months?" Jeff asked.
"Doesn't Matt have Lucas, and he can take care of one more dog." I said.
"It would make it more homily and family oriented in our house." Jeff said as I did my best puppy dog look.
"Don't give me that puppy dog look." Jeff said.
"Please Jeff." I said as I made eye contact with him, making him look in my blue eyes.
"Okay, I get to name him though." Jeff said as we went into the store, and I picked the dog up.
"May I help you?" The store clerk asked.
"We want to adopt this little guy." Jeff said as he petted the dog that was in my hands.
"Okay, anything else?" The store clerk asked.
"We need to buy some supplies." I said as I carried the dog, we went and found a collar, a leash, a dog bed, toys, food, and treats.
"Is that it for you sir?" The store clerk asked.
"Yes, it should be." Jeff said as I was playing with the dog and speaking babyish to it.
"Here are the adoption papers, what you want to name him?"
"Jack." Jeff said as he filled out the adoption paperwork, and he paid for the supplies. I put the collar on Jack and hooked the leash on it.
"We should go get a dog tag for this little fellow." I said.
"I know where a Pet Smart is, we can get one there while he is getting groomed." Jeff said as we got into his car driving over to Pet Smart, we walked Jack into Pet Smart, and we dropped Jack off to get groomed, and we went over to the machine printing out a dog tag.
"We should also get him into the vet for he can get shots and maybe fixed." I said as we were walking around the stores holding hands.
"I don't think we should get him fixed yet, we should get him to reproduce with another beagle."
"We could." I said as we went back to the grooming place picking up Jack, and went home. We spent the night playing with Jack and training him tricks and potty training him. Jeff also called a few vet places setting up an appointment for the following day to get shots and checked out.
"Can you believe it's 11:58?" I asked as Jeff and I were sitting on his couch, Jack was laying in his bed sleeping soundly.
"Nope, it's almost year 2007."
"I know, I'm also glad that you talked me into getting Jack, he'll be a great part to this little family we just started." Jeff said as we watched the ball drop at New York Center at midnight, we kissed lightly on the lips at midnight and we decided to go off to bed. We plugged in a little night light in for Jack, and we left the bedroom door open so if Jack needs to use the bathroom he can at least try to wake us up in the middle of the night.
