Sorry for the long wait on an update. For some reason I just got even lazier if that was possible. But I wanted to hurry and give you guys an update before I leave. For those that don't know I will be going to Mania this year. I'm so excited. Also for all those that have asked, I do have a Nena plot in my head, but I won't start on that story until this one is complete.
I don't own anyone. This is all fiction.
Later that night, Anthony and John went to his brother's house to eat dinner. John knocked on the door to a condo in downtown Miami. He stood there knocking with Anthony for about 3 minutes wondering where the hell his brother was.
"Alright, alright I'm coming." Once the door flew opened, standing there was John's baby brother, Randy, who was just a couple inches taller than John and leaner.
"Uncle Randy, what took you so long? I started to bust the door down."
Randy looked at his nephew like he was crazy. He bent down so he could be at Anthony's level. "Look here little man, get your ass in this house before I get it."
"That's not funny."
"1…..2….."
"Ok, ok. I'm going." With that, Anthony ran in straight to Randy's gameroom.
"Do you always have to scare him like that?"
Randy gave John the "You've got to be kidding me" face. "John, have you met your son? He's a little monster."
"It's not my fault. Blame Steph, She corrupted his mind with all that babysitting."
"Yea. Blame her for everything. Come one, dinner's almost ready."
With that, John followed Randy into the kitchen. "I need a favor tomorrow."
Randy looked up and shook his head. "No."
"You don't even know what I want yet."
"You want me to babysit that little rugrat so you can go on a date with some hot model chick."
"How did you know that?"
"Steph told me."
"How does Steph know?"
"Demon seed told her."
"Will you ever call my son by his real name?"
"When he acts like a real 5 year old should, maybe. But my answer is still no."
"Please man? You guys are always saying I should date more?"
"We said that, but why do I have to watch that thing in there?"
"Because he's your nephew."
"That doesn't mean anything. Why didn't you ask Steph since she usually keeps him anyway?"
"She has plans with Hunter already."
"Uncle Randy, come on. It'll be fun. We can stay up all night and play video games and pig out. Please Uncle Randy, with cherries on top of some big ice cream?"
"Yea Randy. Except for what he said with all that extra crap."
Randy rolled his eyes at his brother and nephew. "You owe me John. Let's eat." After everyone finished, Randy told them he would see them tomorrow.
Meanwhile at Trish's house, she was talking to her brother on the phone. Trish was getting ready for work that night.
"So tell me more about this guy you met today."
"Oh lord." Trish had to laughed. "There's not much to say. He's very handsome, tall, and has muscles everywhere." Trish blushed just thinking about John.
"Trish, stop blushing and daydreaming."
"Oh shut up."
Adam had to laugh at his older sister. "Don't tell me that's all you know about the guy. You call saying you have a date tomorrow and you expect me not to ask questions?"
"Ugh fine. His name is John and he has a little boy named Anthony."
"He has a kid?"
"Yes. Is anything wrong with that?"
"No. Just shocked you're going out with a father."
"I know. Let's not tell mom though. She'll try to have me married by the end of the week."
Adam chuckled knowing how their mother Debra was.
"Listen bro, I'll talk to you later. Gotta check on my patients."
"Alright, bye Trish."
"Anthony please go to bed. You have school in the morning." Unfortunately for John, Anthony is a very energetic child all the time.
"I'm not tired Daddy. How about we play a little game?"
"No. You have school in the morning."
"Please! If I win, I get to stay up and no school."
Sometimes John wondered if this was his kid or Steph's. John mumbled, "I'm gonna kill Steph."
"Come on, Dad. One game."
"Fine Anthony."
"Yeah!" Anthony went to go turn on the racing game.
With John not being able to play that well at any video games because of his freakish huge hands, he was determined to beat his son who has a huge winning record against him. "Ok Ant. One game."
The game started and you could've sworn Anthony was gonna have a seizure. Anthony was in 3rd place, while John was in 5th. Both kept looking at each other trying to psych the other out. All of a sudden Anthony's controller stopped working and John passed him up and won.
"Yes. Who's the champ now?"
"No fair. Mine stopped working. I want a do over."
"Don't be a sore loser. I won fair and square. Now go to bed."
"Ugh. I'll get you next time Daddy." Anthony ran up to his room and went to sleep.
John fell back on the couch tired and exhausted. He never thought being a single father would be so hard. After he and Anthony's mother, Candice, broke up 4 years ago, John got full custody. John and Candice were actually together for all of high school. But the older they got, the more Candice would go out and party like there was no tomorrow. When they found out she was pregnant with Anthony, Candice vowed she would stop. But on Anthony's 1st birthday, while all of John's family was there, Candice showed up late and drunk out of her mind. After that, John broke up with Candice and got full custody.
John also found it weird that Anthony never wanted to talk or hear about his mother. But John learned that a while back, Anthony asked Steph about his mom when she was babysitting. Steph was a little caught off guard. She was never a big fan of Candice just like the rest of the family. But she said in the nicest way that Candice will always love him, but she just couldn't take care of him until she dealt with her own problems first.
John knew sooner or later that Anthony would ask him about it more. But he hoped it would come later. John ended up falling asleep on the couch thinking about a certain blonde who he had a date with the next night.
Once again, sorry for the long wait.
Please Review.
Thank You.
