Chapter 11: Let the fun begin!
When they got to the Aquarium, they met Seth, Jimmy, Trinity, Jey, Alex and all their boys, Hunter and Stephanie and their three girls. Along with Sika, Lily and Patty, who had brought the two boys that lived next door to them.
Dwayne brought his daughter Simone. She was older than them all but, she loved the boys. Her and Taylor babysat sometimes when Machelle needed to go out. Lauren was going to come later, to the BBQ.
JJ and Jake were really excited seeing all their friends. Everyone, followed the boys to the front door.
The Party coordinator Samantha, met them at the door. She told everyone to follow her and took them into the party room.
The room was decorated with blue and green streamers and had lots of balloons. There were sea creatures hanging from the ceiling.
The adults put their gifts, on a table that was decorated with a tablecloth that had sea creatures on it. Then Samantha started the tour of the Aquarium.
In the first room they saw and touched, crabs, sea urchins, sea stars, sea cucumbers and sea anemones.
Then they walked outside and got a show, from the dolphins. They went through hula hoops. Then all the kids got a chance to feed them fish.
They also got to see a killer whale named Luna. Who splashed and tried to get them all wet. The boys all loved that, the girls not so much.
They all got to touch and feed the Belugas.
Then they all went inside to wash their hands and sat and ate their lunch, with the sharks in the back ground.
After they finished lunch, Samantha called them all over to the shark tank. A diver jumped into the tank and fed them.
Carla had just arrived when it was time for cake. She hugged the boys and they chatted with her, for a bit.
After cake they were going to open gifts but, all the kids were to excited.
So, Dean, Roman and Seth got the gifts in the car and walked Carla and Lily to their waiting car. They had to catch a flight, in three hours to go home.
Then walked back into The Aquarium and finished the tour.
When it was time to leave the boys, went running across the Parking lot, to the grass area by the car. Roman and Dean were chasing them, just to get some energy out.
Roman had just finally caught JJ, when his cell went off. He handed JJ to Seth, to put in the car and Machelle buckled him in. She left the door open, and Sherri and JJ were egging Jake on. Telling him to run, different ways to not get caught.
Dean was still trying to get Jake. Although he was taking his sweet ass time. Him and the boys all loved this game.
Jake ran and hid in the bushes and was giggling. He was yelling 'Come get me, Uncle Dean'. Dean pretended he couldn't find him.
When Roman was finished his call, all three guys went to get Jake in different ways and caught him.
Poor Jake was so, tired when Roman put him in his car seat. It was no wonder the toddler fell asleep, almost as soon as they left the parking lot.
Roman stopped off at the grocery store so, Machelle could get hamburger buns for the BBQ.
All Roman's family were coming back to the house.
When they got home, Roman and Dean put the now sleeping toddlers in one of the spare rooms.
"Well, I need a nap now." Dean said sitting down on the couch. "Those boys, have worn me out."
"Go have a nap Uncle Dean." Roman said laughing. "You will need all your energy, for when they get up."
"It serves you right Dean." Machelle said Laughing. "You started it all."
"I know I did but, it was fun though." Dean said smiling, then Seth handed him a beer. "Thanks Seth. It's your turn next to play with them."
Seth laughed as he followed Roman outside, to show him the wrestling ring he got the boys.
"Hey Dean, you busy tomorrow?" Machelle said. "I need, to pick your brain for a bit."
Dean was going to say something but, then Roman and Seth came back in to the kitchen.
Then the door bell rang and Roman went to answer it.
Dwayne, Alma, Simone and Dwayne's now girlfriend Lauren had arrived.
They had brought, their nine month old daughter Jasmine, who was sleeping in her Mom's arms.
Roman helped get the play pen they brought, from the car and then set it up in one of the spare rooms.
Machelle went and got them her baby monitor. So, they would hear her, even though El Torrito had made his spot by the door.
Lauren, put Jasmine in and left the door open a bit and went to the kitchen.
Then everyone else showed up.
Jake was the first one to wake up but, was really cranky. Most of the time, they were always in good moods.
Dean tried to pick him up but, Jake wanted nothing to do with him.
"No, I want Mommy." Jake said. Then he started to cry, Dean put his hand out and after a bit Jake grabbed his finger.
He opened the back door and Jake ran to Machelle. She helped him onto her knee and he hugged her and put his head on her shoulder, and had his thumb in his mouth.
JJ was in a better mood, when he got up. So, the guys took all the kids down to the beach, to play with the teens.
Jake stayed with Machelle, who was still clinging to her.
That was until Jasmine woke up, then he made it his job to make her smile and laugh. Which was a good thing because the girls started getting dinner ready.
Lauren put her in her bouncy chair down on the floor, and Jake sat beside her. He tickled her feet and made faces at her. Jasmine was giggling so much, you could hear her outside.
"I think you, are going to be a great big brother, Jake." Lauren said, when Jasmine started laughing again.
Jake had ran and got some of his toys for her to play with.
"Those are to small for her to play with, Jake." Machelle said when Jake brought her some trucks. "You need to get your bigger toys. Stuffed animals are the best."
Lauren handed him some of the toys, she brought with her.
"Here Jake, she can have these to play with." Lauren said smiling.
Jake thanked her and then grabbed her pink bear and pretended to kiss her. Jasmine giggled at it every time Jake did it.
Then she started to get hungry and started to cry. Jake didn't know what to do then.
"Mommy what's wrong with her?" Jake asked. "I didn't do anything to make her cry."
"Sweetheart, It's okay." Machelle said and picked him up. "She's hungry, that's all. Lauren, is getting her some lunch. Do you want a snack?"
Jake nodded and watched Lauren feed her some jarred food. Then asked Jake, if he wanted to feed her the bottle. He nodded.
Machelle got some pillows and Lauren propped her up with them. Lauren put her on his legs and Jake held the bottle.
The girls all thought it was cute and took pictures. After she finished her bottle, Lauren burped her and put her back in her chair. Jake sat beside her and played with her, again.
When the guys got back, dinner was ready and they sat down and ate.
After dinner and the last of the cake, the kids all challenged Dean and Hunter to a game of soccer. Just like the last time they all got together.
Dean went home and got Ares. Then they all made there way down to the beach. The girls sat in the sand on a blanket. Sika, Patty and Alma sat in some lawn chairs. They were the cheering section for both teams.
The kids all split into teams Jimmy's two boys, Jey, Seth, Hunter, Aurora, Taylor, Simone and JJ.
Against Jey's two boys, Jimmy, Murphy, Vaughn, Jake, Dwayne, Roman and Dean. Afa was the referee.
El Torrito Grabbed the ball and ran up the beach. When everyone ran after him, he looked to see who was left behind. Then circled around and dropped the ball in front of Murphy, who made the first goal for Dean's team.
When the Cheering section, started to cheer El Torrito and Ares came over and wanted their praise.
Lauren hadn't seen him in action before. She was surprised, that he could play so good and the fact he had taught Ares to play, was even better.
Then Simone scored for Seth's team.
Dean's team was in the lead, Jake came over and cuddled with Machelle, and Ares took his place.
Taylor in the end scored for Seth's team and so, they played for sudden death. Then El Torrito helped Vaughn score.
Dean grabbed her and swung her around, El Torrito and Ares kissed her face.
Jake grabbed Uncle Dean's hand, while Roman helped Machelle up and then they walked back to the house.
The kids went into the living room, to watch TV.
The adults stayed outside to talk. About 10 minutes later they heard laughter coming from inside.
Simone came outside with tears in her eyes.
"Dad, you have to come in and see this." Simone said still laughing. "Your going to love this."
Dwayne got up and went inside and started to laugh. Then all the other adults went in, to see what he was laughing at.
The TV showed, they were watching was 'Lip Sync Battle' . When Dwayne was challenging Jimmy Fallon.
Jake and JJ, were dancing and singing to 'Shake it off' by Taylor Swift. They were doing the same moves, that Dwayne was doing on the TV.
Then Jey and Jimmy's boys started, dancing with them. Dwayne thought it was funny, then he started to dance with them.
Everyone was laughing even Jasmine, who was clapping her hands.
"These boys are really good." Hunter said to Machelle. Who was video taping the whole thing. "I do believe, your going to have some dancing, wrestlers in your family."
"They should be." Machelle said. "They have watched this show, over aaaand over. Almost every day, since they saw it."
When all the fun ended, the kids all sat down to watch a movie. The adults returned to the kitchen still chatting about the kids.
It was going on 11 and everyone started to leave. They walked outside and Roman, helped bring the things to Dwayne's car.
Everyone said they would see them all in two weeks, for Machelle's birthday. They waved as Roman's family drove down the road.
Machelle excused herself and went inside and started tearing the kitchen apart.
"What are you doing?" Roman said coming into the kitchen.
"I have really, really bad heartburn and I know we have Rolaids somewhere." Machelle said looking through cupboards and drawers.
"Can you take them?" Roman said. "I mean while your pregnant."
"I don't know but, I am desperate to try anything." Machelle said. "I want to try everything except soda and water. That is my last resort."
"Do you have any pop?" Seth said. "Coke or root beer that might, help. I have Rolaids at Sherri's, I'll go get them."
"We can walk up to the corner store and get some Ginger ale." Sherri said. "I need some things anyway."
Roman and Seth stayed home with the boys. They gave them a bath and put them to bed.
Then sat outside with a beer and talked. They hadn't talked since the feud started.
Dean, Sherri and Machelle walked up to the corner store.
"So, What did you need to pick my brain for?" Dean asked, when they were walking back. "Am I in trouble again?"
"No, your not in trouble." Machelle laughed. "I am going to make part of the gym, a Man Cave for Roman's Birthday. I needed to pick your brain on what to put in it. You guys, all hang out together all the time when your off. Has he said he wants anything in particular?"
"Okay, he was saying you wanted to make a place where he could go but, he didn't want one that the boys couldn't come in." Dean started. "Second, why are you getting rid of the gym? We use it, all the time with the boys. As for stuff to put in it, a big couch so, we can sit to watch the game. What about a pool table or air hockey?"
"I'm not getting rid of the gym, just moving it. The gym is really big. So, I was thinking of moving it to one end. Maybe even put a wall up." Machelle started. "I thought of that but, do you guys even play pool? I got a beer fridge and bar, that we could put juice and beer in. There is a custom couch coming that will fit like 12 people. So, you guys can watch the game. I also have the SF 49ers sending me a picture and a carpet coming."
"Wow, why do you you need me then?" Dean laughed and put his arm around Machelle. "Sounds to me, you have it all together. We play pool, on the road sometimes with Jimmy and Jey."
"I just wanted to see, if you could think of anything else, since you are a guy." Machelle said smiling. "I have a picture of the vision that the designer gave me. Maybe you can think of other things, to put in it."
"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow but, how are you going to show me when Roman is home?" Dean said. "When are you doing this? How are you going to put it all together, while he's home?"
"He has to go see Vince, tomorrow at the Performance Centre." Machelle started "It's going to be done, the first part of May. You guys are gone for a week and when you get back it will be done. So, it won't interfere with the wedding. An early Birthday Present."
"Cool, I am in." Dean said. "After that, I can take the boys with Taylor and I. We are going to the ASPCA to look. She has been asking for a kitten."
"You do know, you will come home with more than one, right?" Sherri laughed.
"Yup, I do. She told me about Ariel." Dean said putting his arm around her.. "I love animals, I used to have a cat. I know you guys like animals."
Sherri nodded her head and smiled. She knew Taylor, had wanted a cat for a long time.
Before they moved to Florida they had to put her cat down. As she was older and had bladder problems. Sherri, was just glad it was Dean going and not her. She knew if it was her, she would have gotten everyone she saw.
The next morning, Dean and Taylor came over and looked at the plans for Roman's Man Cave. He thought, it looked great and suggested a lot of things.
Dean took Machelle's car just so, he didn't have to take the car seats out. He buckled the boys in and left.
When they got to the shelter, Dean went in thinking he would get one kitten but, when they came out he ended up adopting four. Because when the boys saw the kitten's, they wanted one to.
"Your Dad is going to kill me." Dean said looking at JJ and Jake. "I will call him, just to see if it's okay."
Dean called Roman to ask, he said it was okay.
Dean, knew it was okay with Machelle. Sherri said, they always had cats and dogs when they were growing up.
Cats were easier to take care of anyway. You didn't have to do anything except feed them.
After the shelter they went to Pet Smart for supplies. Roman met them, so he could pay for the things that the boys needed.
"Daddy, look what Uncle Dean got us." Jake said with his grey fluffy kitten in his arms. "Isn't she cute? Her name is Sophie. She doesn't have a tail though, I think it got hurt."
"She is very cute. I think she was born that way Jake. She is what they call a Manx cat." Roman said petting the little ball of fur. "What is yours, named JJ?"
"Mine is named Mitzi." JJ said holding his black short haired kitten. "The lady that helped us, said she was like a fart in a mit and she said I could call her Mitzi, I liked the name."
"That is a great name for her." Roman smiled. "Okay, lets put them back in their cages so, they won't get away when we take them inside."
Roman looked at Taylor's two kittens one grey with a long tail, her name was Finn. She kind of had the fur of a chinchilla, it was very soft. The other one was a calico named Raven. (AKA: Monster, which they all called her later.)
Roman petted all of them and then they went into the store.
When they got home the boys, ran in the house and showed Machelle their kittens.
"I knew, you would come home with a kittens." Machelle said towards Dean. "They are very cute kittens."
Machelle thought she would need to go get supplies but, then Roman came in with kitten food. Then a Huge three tier cat post and a kitty litter pan.
"Mommy can they sleep with us tonight? Jake said looking at her.
"Not tonight sweetheart, they have to get used to where the litter box is first." Machelle said smiling. Then added. "But, give it a week and then they can. They have to get used to the house and El Torrito first."
Machelle took both kittens in her hand. They were both hissing, when they saw El Torrito.
"These are our new babies." Machelle said to El Torrito. He smelled them all over and licked them.
Both boys watched, as the kittens stopped hissing and started to purr.
Machelle let them on the floor and they started to explore their new surroundings. Both boys and El Torrito following them.
