Summary: Grease 2 Au. One Shot. What if the T-Birds and Pink Ladies hadn't turned up just as Michael was about to reveal the true identity of the 'Cool Rider' to Stephanie? How would that have changed the course of the movie?
AN: Alright here's Chapter 38. Thank you to those that reviewed the last chapter. This is the last chapter for this story. I will up loading the Epilogue in a few days.
Chapter 38
22nd February 1972. Rydell California.
It was just after two in the morning. It had been a long ass trip from Atlanta to San Francisco. I shut off the engine. I was way to tired to go inside. I just crawled into bunk of the sleeper and was out to it.
Nine Hours Later.
When I woke the sun had been up for a far while. I grabbed my watch that rested on the driver's seat. It was just after eleven thirty in the morning. I yawned and stretched as I sat up and swung my legs onto the other side of the bunk.
I grabbed a semi clean shirt and pulled it on. After grabbing my gear from the Peterbilt and locking it up. I headed towards the house.
The newest additions to the family Clayton William-Royston Carrington and Gregory Michael-Stephen Carrington where now nearly three months old. I had hardly seen since they where a month old.
"Dad" I looked up as BJ, Rebecca and Aaron came running to me with Ace and Sarge in tow. The only one missing was Connor who was at school.
I managed to catch the three of them without falling over. After disentangle myself from BJ, Rebecca and Aaron I headed inside the house.
The kitchen was empty of life. As where a few other room downstairs. I headed up stairs. I checked Clayton and Gregory's room. Both of them where sound asleep.
I headed further down the hall to mine and Steph's room. Sure enough she was passed out asleep. How she managed to look after the kids while I was away I could not fathom.
I grabbed some clean cloths and kissed the top of her head before I left the bedroom to go have a shower.
After having showered and changed into a clean cloths. I glanced at the photo that had been taken at Christmas. The same day Billy had introduced the family to his new girlfriend Christine McDonald.
Billy and Christine where both divorced. And had kids they where raising on there own. I had gotten a little of Christine's story from Billy and herself. Her ex-husband had been an abusive drunk deadbeat.
She had gotten married when she was seventeen like Billy had. Her two boys where about the same age as my godson Alexander. I was happy that Billy had found love again or so I hoped he had.
By time I walked down stairs. BJ, Rebecca and Aaron where sitting in the kitchen. I grabbed a few beers from a half finished six packs. The three of them grabbed something to eat before going back outside to play.
I sat out on the back porch watching them. The boys where throwing a football with Rebecca.
I was half dozing off when I heard a car pull up outside the house. I set down my half finished beer and went to see who it was. The car was a brand new Lincoln Continental Sedan. That thing would cost a cool part of $7250 and that was just the base price.
My brother in law Wayne got out of the driver's seat. His wife Frances got out of the passenger side of the car. Wayne worked for finical company in New York last I had heard.
I hadn't seen him since maybe Stephanie and I had gotten married nearly six years ago.
Wayne Zinone glanced at his brother in law Michael. The last time Wayne had seen him had been when his sister Stephanie had married Carrington in March of 66.
He had missed his youngest brother getting married nearly two years ago or so his mother had told him. He had five nephews and another niece that he hadn't seen nor met as of yet.
"Wayne it's been a long time" I said trying to breath the ice. The kids where still outside playing in the backyard.
"It has. Where's Stephanie" Wayne asked as I offered him a beer.
"Asleep last time I checked which was about an hour ago" I said taking a seat at the kitchen table.
"Marie said you've gotten out of the Marine Corp a few years ago"
"Yea four years in May it will be since I've been discharged from the Corp." I said answering Frances's question.
Before anyone could say a word. A loud crashing sound that sounded like a balling being thrown through a window. I went to see who it was that had thrown a ball through a window.
BJ had a guilty look on his face when I walked out to the backyard. It was only the window in the garage that had been broken.
"Come inside you lot and talk to your Uncle Wayne and Aunt Frances alright" I said before heading back inside. BJ, Rebecca and Aaron followed after me.
"Somebody break a window did they" Wayne asked as we walked into the kitchen.
"Yea. It's no big deal the window can be replaced" I said sitting back down at the table.
Wayne was about to reply when I heard crying coming from upstairs. It was most likely that Clayton and Gregory where awake now. Maybe due to the broken window.
I got up from the kitchen table and went to tend to him. I opened the door to their room. Steph was already awake and tending to Clayton. I closed the door behind me when I entered the room.
"Somebody break a window before" Steph asked.
"Yea BJ did by accident. He was throwing a ball with Rebecca and Aaron when it happened. Bu the way we've got company" I said taking Clayton from her a few minutes later when he had finished having a feed.
"Who"
"Your brother Wayne and your sister in law Frances are down stairs in the kitchen" I explained as I burped Clayton.
"Thanks buddy" I said as he had burped a heap of milk onto my shirt
"The perks of parenthood. Why exactly are they are here"
"Do ask me. They turned up half an hour ago while you were still asleep." I said trying to get Clayton to sleep.
15th March 1972: Rydell California.
It was early morning. Maybe just after three in the morning. I had finished packing my gear about twenty minutes ago.
"Happy Anniversary baby" I said kissing the top of Stephanie's head before I walked out of our bed room. I said my goodbyes to the kids before I headed out the front door.
I threw my gear up into the cab of the Peterbilt. After starting her up. I shifted slowly through the gears. Pulling out onto the road. And headed for wherever it was that road would take me.
