Chapter Four – Mischief in the Household

Maggie-Maye was now five years old, about to turn six, and in the 1st grade of school. She was one of the youngest in her class but very smart. A lot had happened since she was in kindergarten. Her Uncle Shane had gotten engaged to his long term girlfriend Mitchie; the wedding was set to happen in the middle of April, just a couple of weeks away. Nate was also in a very serious relationship with Caitlyn, Mitchie's best friend but both were not ready for marriage yet. Jason and Maggie had also moved out the Gray household. Sure, his parents said that he didn't have to move but he felt it was for the best. Maggie was growing fast now and he didn't want to be a burden. Jason also felt the time was right. They moved a few blocks away in a quaint bungalow. But Denise still kept their bedrooms the same just in case, that was just the way Denise Gray was.

***

Maggie and Selena were sat in their 1st Grade class waiting for the last lesson of the day, Art. Since kindergarten they had been inseparable having slumber parties and always round the others houses. They were true best friends. Selena didn't even care that Maggie's daddy and uncles were in Connect 3, a band many children loved at her school. Selena and Maggie were in a very deep conversation about the recent Disney Channel Movie when there new friend; Hunter came up and joined in the conversation. He and Maggie had the same Power Rangers lunchbox and they ended up with the wrong lunch; they swapped their boxes and had been friends ever since. The three of them were best friends.

"Alright class settle down." Mr Roberts entered the class and started to write on the chalk board the assignment. After he finished engraving the letters he turned around to face his students.

"As you all know Mothers Day is fast approaching so that means today we can make mothers day cards. Folded card is going to be passed out by Miss Johnson." All the children began to talk in excited voices and reached for the colouring pencils, glue and other crafts; all except from Maggie. She looked around the class at all the pupils not knowing what to do. Mr Roberts asked his teaching assistant to look after the class while he took Maggie-Maye out into the hall way.

"Maggie, do you want to make a Nanny's day card for your Nanny Denise she deserves a card too. It's a special day for her as well." Mr Roberts knew the condition at the Grey household and knew that Jason was going to talk to Maggie about her mother when she asked about it. Maggie nodded her head and made her way back into the classroom and began to work on her card for her Nanny. She looked towards Selena,

"Hey Selena, what's it like to have a mom?" Selena dropped her crayon in shock at the unexpected question. Sure she knew that Maggie didn't have a mom but she didn't know how to answer the question.

"Maggie, you're my bestest friend since forever. We tell each other everything. I don't know what to say, it's hard. But your nanny is so cool she's just like a mommy!" Maggie nodded.

"I can't wait for tonight. You get to come for a barbeque. Uncle Nate's looking after us for a while because Daddy and Uncle Shane are going somewhere." Selena giggled along with Maggie continuing with their work. She had a little crush on Nate.

***

Nate made his way out of his parents house a smile content on his face. He got to spend some alone time with his niece and her best friend this afternoon. Ever since Jason and Maggie moved out, Shane getting engaged and him having a serious girlfriend he never had much time to spend with his only niece, he missed the times where he would sing to her, read her a book and take her to the park. Even watching kid's shows with her. His smile grew larger as the yellow school bus pulled outside the house and Maggie-Maye and Selena ran off giggling.

"Uncle Nate!" Maggie exclaimed quickly running towards her uncle. Nate opened his arms as Maggie ran into them; he lifted her up and spun her around a little. He kissed her cheek lovingly as she let out a little giggle. Nate quickly put her back on the ground.

"Oh I've missed you Mags! I'm still getting used to you not being around every day!" it was pretty much un-describable how much Shane and Nate missed having Maggie around. They had been their for her since she was a baby.

"Uncle Nate, we talked a couple off days ago on the phone when I told you I started to take guitar lessons at school!" Maggie had definitely picked up the music gene of the family. Jason had told Nate and Shane that Maggie had came home excitedly with a permission slip and how much the lessons would cost. He, Shane and Jason had even taken Maggie to the music shop to pick out her very first guitar. As far as he knew she really enjoyed taking them.

"Hey Selena, how are you today?" Nate asked the little girl sweetly, he knew that she had a crush on him; it was really cute actually. He chuckled to himself a little as the little girl giggled and shyly waved at her best friend's Uncle.

"Come on girls, I'll make you grilled cheese sandwiches." Nate quickly escorted them into the house, placing there bags in the hall way cupboard leading them into the kitchen.

***

It had been two hours since Maggie and Selena came home from school and Nate had somehow fallen asleep, a very deep sleep, about half an hour ago. His parents and brothers would be back in a while as they were still shopping for food and supplies for the barbeque. Maggie and Selena giggled in unison as they quickly made their way down the stairs, quickly quieting when they reached the living room. They walked over to Nate muffling their giggles by keeping their mouths shut and started to work very fast so they would not get caught.

Half an hour later

Maggie and Selena giggled as Nate flinched in his sleep again as they finished colouring his face. They're eyes met as the door closed with a small thud and the voices of her grandparents, dad and uncle filled the room.

"Quick grab it and run!" Maggie whispered to Selena as they grabbed the items to hide the evidence and quietly ran out to the back garden, hiding the evidence in the tree house before running over to the swings laughing; making it seem they had been playing there for a while.

***

Jason, Shane and their parents walked into the suburban home chatting about anything and everything. The house seemed too quiet so Jason guessed that Maggie-Maye and Selena were outside playing on the swing set and jungle gym which was a present to Maggie on her fifth birthday from Nanny and Grandpa Grey. Shane suddenly stopped causing Jason to walk into him.

"Dude! What are you…?" Jason was interrupted by Shane waving his hand, pointing towards Nate on the couch. Denise tried to muffle her giggles despite the fact that her possessions were used as their father just stood there afraid that if he moved a step closer, his laughter would no longer be contained. Jason looked cautiously towards his younger brother and parents, the thought crossed his mind if he should be worried but quickly pushed it away as soon as it occurred. He averted his gaze towards where they were looking; putting his hand over his mouth to stop the laughter from floating out. There on the couch lay Nate asleep totally caked in make up which was all over the place, he looked … stunning. He looked like a drag queen gone wrong. Maggie must have gotten the prank gene from Shane. Nate let out a quick grunt, turned making him fall of the couch startling him awake.

The Grey boys were prone to fall off of the couch if they fell asleep on it.

"SPONGEBOB, DON'T GO IN THE BLENDER!" Nate sat up straight away rubbing sleep from his eyes; standing up when he realised he had an audience.

"What are you guys staring at?" He questioned as his family continued to stare at him, not knowing what to say.

"Is there something on my face?" He questioned becoming slightly paranoid. (A/N: no pun intended lol.) His mom was the first to recover, she pointed towards the mirror attached to the wall.

"Son, I think Maggie and Selena gave you a free make over." Denise managed to snap a picture with her camera before Nate did a 180 spin to face the mirror; his mouth fell open straight away at the sight of his reflection. He ran quickly towards the restroom, washing his face before making his way outside for his "enemy". Shane and Jason followed behind to see what was about to happen whilst the grandparents went to put the groceries away.

***

Maggie saw her Uncle Nate charging towards her, his face now make up free. She looked towards Selena and she quickly legged it to the tree house that was made by her and Shane, Nate and Jason. She was playfully squealing as her Uncle Nate began to run quickly towards her. Before Maggie-Maye even got half way up the ladder, he caught her began to tickle her, finally turning her upside down carrying her by her feet back towards where her daddy and Uncle Shane were stood, smiles placed on their face.

"Daddy help!" She giggled as Nate swung her back and forth. Jason put his finger under his chin, pretending to think, before playfully shaking his head no.

"Daddy!" She giggled again clearly enjoying what was happening at that very moment. After a few minutes Jason realised Maggie had started going red in the face.

"Ok Nate I think she's learnt her lesson, she's starting to get head rush. If we leave her any longer she'll end up like Shane and we don't need that." Jason said towards his youngest brother. Nate obliged as he let Maggie back on the floor kissing her on the forehead. She ran straight back over to Selena.

"Yeah Nate she could end up like me!" Shane agreed with Jason. It took him a minute to realise that he just insulted himself.

"Hey!" He exclaimed as Jason and Nate started to laugh patting him on the back.

8 O'clock that evening

Jason sighed as he stood outside Maggie-Mayes bedroom at their bungalow. He had no idea what was wrong with his daughter; all he knew was that when Selena's mother had picked her up a half an hour ago from his parents, Maggie got a longing look in her eyes. Probably envy and jealously. Maggie had gone straight to her room when she got home; she normally made him watch one Barney episode since it was Friday; before going to bed. He sighed again and walked into his daughter's bedroom. He noticed that she wasn't on her bed but at the window seat. Maggie's window had no trees outside so you had a clear view of the stars. She was probably praying knowing her.

"Knock, knock!" He exclaimed as he tapped on the open door frame. Maggie turned to her dad, turned back to the window to finish her prayer before running and jumping on to her bed.

"Hey daddy" Maggie-Maye smiled. Jason didn't fail to notice that she didn't smile her full smile that she inherited from him. Jason walked over to her bed, sitting down once he reached it pulling her on to his lap. She was still a very small child.

"Pal, what's up? You haven't been yourself for the past half hour. You can tell me anything." Jason reassured her. Maggie simply hugged him before jumping off his lap and standing in front him and taking a deep breath.

"Daddy why don't I have a mommy? Didn't she love me?" Tears began to fill her eyes as Jason sat in shock. He knew that Maggie-Maye would ask that question but not for many years to come. He suddenly realised why Maggie had that look in her eye when Selena was being picked up.

"Margaret-Maye dry those tears! You'll make daddy cry. You don't want that do you?" Maggie-Maye shook her head no.

"I'll be right back Mags" Jason walked to his bedroom, pulling out a framed picture he kept for Maggie of her mother. He walked back to his daughters room to see her wrapped up in bed hugging Winston, the teddy she got from Uncle Shane when he went to London with Mitchie when she was three. He sat next to Maggie, leaning against the headboard, preparing the speech mentally he was about to tell his five year old. He handed Maggie the picture.

"This, Maggie, is your mother. We met at Camp Rock, where your uncles and I went every summer until I got married and had you. I was nineteen when you were born and your mother had just turned eighteen, in her last year of high school. We were as you call it, High School Sweethearts. Before I met your mother though, she had a very bad family life. She felt ignored so took up smoking bad things, drugs, to get attention. It was very wrong and is against the law. However, her parents; your other grandparents, found out and sent her to rehab and she got better. We met the summer straight after that. We only dated three months, but we were in love. Turns out though, she was lying. She didn't love me like I loved her. She was really happy when she was pregnant with you. I was hardly there because I was on tour with Uncle Shane and Uncle Nate. Three weeks after you were born, she left us and divorced me to go back to her old life before she met me. Even though I have taught you to not judge people, she was a very bad person. But Margaret-Maye you need to know that even though she left, it wasn't your fault; never blame yourself. I did, trust me it's not very nice. I know she loves you and she is probably thinking about you all the time, but honey it's more than likely she will never come back. Just know I love you so much you're my whole life darling. I wouldn't exchange you for anything." Maggie nodded her head through a few tears.

Jason took the frame out her hands and walked towards the wall opposite her bed, taking down a picture of a flower and placing the frame in its place.

"I want you to have this, so it seems like she is protecting you and always here even though it's an old picture. Even though your mother and I haven't spoken in nearly six years, I will not be awful and not give you a picture of her." He walked back over to her bed wiping the last of her tears away.

"Night pal, I love you." Jason began to walk away but Maggie's voice stopped him.

"Daddy I love you to but can you stay here please?" Jason could not resist her small voice but nodded, turned off her light got on the bed and pulled her embrace.

"Night daddy" Jason heard her whisper before kissing his cheek. Before he drifted off to dream land with his daughter, one thought crossed his mind. He had to talk to his brothers about this.

Thanks for reading and please review, it makes her happy! See ya next time!

Peace, love and Joe Jonas!
