Two chapters today! Because nothing much happens in this one.
Babysitting and Babies.
Diana and Andy were baby sitting Gemma. As they drove Andy was still complaining "Why did you agree to do this?" Andy grudged "Come on! They haven't had a real date sense they adopted her." Diana said checking her makeup in the review mirror."She's such a brat!" Andy grumbled. "Andy come on that letter she wrote us was really thoughtful she just a little kid she doesn't know right from wrong yet she's still learning." Diana said smiling. "But I wanna spend the night with you … alone." He said. "It's not like we are staying the night!" She rolled her eyes. "But come on there's nothing to do at their place." Andy said annoyed. "We could take her out to eat!"
They knocked on the door. "Thanks again for doing this guys." Joy said. "We have Mac and cheese in the fridge for Gemma." "Oh we were thinking of taking her out to eat." Andy said disappointed. "Well she has been wanting to go to McDonald's all week. "Ugg are you kidding me!?" Diana said annoyed. "Come on Diana she loves that place." Joy said. "Well it doesn't go with my new diet." Andy rolled his eyes. "Diana we work out together every morning your body is hot as hell!" Andy said. Diana was embarrassed. "You know being under weight in unhealthy too." Fred said. Both Andy and Diana looked furious. "SHE AIN'T UNHEALTHY!" Andy yelled. "Yea I am fit, you two don't even work out!" Diana said arms crossed. "Come on guys you know he didn't mean like that." Joy said. "Well you still have to apologize." "Okay Diana I am sorry." Fred said rolling his eyes.
Fred and Joy left. "Thanks for that Andy." "That was so rude of him. He's so wimpy he should work out." Andy said. "It was really sweet of you -she wrapped her arms around his neck- l love you!" She kissed him. This was the first time either had ever said that to each other, he didn't want to make it seem like a big deal. "Love you to baby." He grabbed her cheeks and pulled his lips on hers with more pressure.
"Ewwie." Andy and Diana stopped. "Oh hi … Gemma." Diana said with her arms still wrapped around Andy's neck. "Hey kid you wanna go to McDonald's?" Andy grunted. "Yeaaaaaaa!" Gemma said dancing around. Diana looked at her like she was a freak. "Let's get going." Andy said before Diana could say anything.
They were at the counter "I want a happy meal!" Gemma said. "I will have a mc rib." Andy said. "Ummm chicken salad." Diana said. They all sat down. Diana took some of Andy's fries. "Hey! If you wanted fries you should have ordered them!" He snarled. "Okay, okay." She walked up to the counter and ordered fries. She kept picking things out or her salad. Andy shook his head she was always a picky eater.
"Hey Diana we have a game in Boston coming up wanna come?" Andy asked. "Are you kidding me? Of course!" She said laughing. "Is my dad going with guys?" Gemma asked excited. "He's gunna keep helping your mom look for jobs." Andy said. "But mommy has a job!" "She can't be my assistant forever she had a degree." Diana said. "No! Mommy is a teacher!" Gemma yelled. "Kid sit down! everyone is starting at us." Diana said. "STOP CALLING ME KID!" Gemma yelled. "Fine Gemma stop yelling your making a scene!" Diana said embarrassed. "You only dress like you do so people will stare at you!" Gemma was shocked. "Who told you that!" Andy grunted (he knew kids this age didn't say that stuff on their own) "My mom's friend Sandy said it she also called you a snob and said the only reason Andy's with you is because he likes your body." Gemma said absentmindedly. "Well none of that is true!" Andy said. "Sandy said it is!" Gemma moped. "But you should say mean stuff like that." Diana said. "But you guys have, I have herd you call Sandy fat and my mom annoying and my dad weird and you called Billy Bob a freak and …" Gemma said all the mean things she remembered them saying about people in her presence (she only knew them about two months but she had a lot to say.) "oh yea and in the car you shouted out the window 'basta…'." Diana covered Gemma's mouth before she could finish the word. "Great going Andy you thought her a swear word." Diana's said annoyed. They argued on and on. Lucky someone interrupted them.
"GEMMA!" A young man said. "Tommy!" Gemma said. "Wanna go to the play place?" Tommy asked. "Can I go?" She asked Andy and Diana. "Sure kid." She was to exited to correct them. When she was out of sight Diana started talking to Andy. "Did they not tell her that Joy lost her job! It's been like two months." "Fred is a nervous guy he probably thought it would ruin her childhood." Andy said laughing. "Imagine when he finds out you thought her a swear word." Diana laughed. He smiled and kissed her cheek. "You know I don't dress for attention right?" She asked sadly. "Well your hot people can't help but stare!' Andy said smiling. "You know what she meant." Diana said angrily. "Forget about that fatty." "Don't say that! we can't keep insulting people!" "Come on babe she did something wrong I am just trying to help you." "So why do you like me?" She asked awkwardly. He rolled his eyes "Come on Diana!" "Answer!" "Well you have similar interests and your so funny you are my best friend! Even when we fight I love it." He said. "Plus your really sexy!" He whispered playfully. She groaned annoyed. "I meant it as a compliment listen I didn't make a move for TEN YEARS! If I was only after you body I would be gone by now." He was gunna say something but her phone buzzed, she checked it. "Diana you know I don't like it when you check your phone in a conversation!" Andy grumbled. "It's Fred he says its Gemma's bed time.
They arrived back at Joy and Fred's apartment. "Okay brush your teeth and go to bed." Diana said. "I don't wanna!" Gemma wined. "I don't care kid it's your bedtime." Andy's yelled. Gemma was gunna complain more but she was a bit scared of Andy. She did her bed time routine and got in bed. "I am ready for my story!" Gemma said happily. "Ugg I hate kids books will you do it please." Diana pledged. "Okay." Andy went to Gemma's room.
"Okay their once was an ugly duckling …" Diana waited for Andy but after a while she got kinda bored. She decided she would listen to the story. She walked to Gemma's room and slid the door open. "My grandma what big teeth you have …" Andy was even doing a voice Diana let out a little smile. (This was the third story he had read her he was really having fun.) Diana didn't go in anymore she just stood at the door. Andy was so sweet maybe he would be a good farther.
Gemma fell asleep. He put the book on the small shelf and turned to see Diana standing in the door. "Oh go ahead make your sassy comments." Andy whispered so not to wake Gemma. "No no I thought it was really sweet." She whispered. "You ain't kidding?" He asked unsure. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips. "Let's go watch a movie!" She smiled.
Andy laid down on the small couch. "Come on sit up!" Diana said. "No way missy I was working hard with the team today I am resting." He said leaning back. "Fine then!" She said. Then she climbed up next to him (practically on top of him the couch was so small.) They both fell asleep.
Joy and Fred came in a few hours later. Fred went right to Gemma's room to check on her. Joy stared at Andy and Diana smiling. She was so happy for them she was waiting forever for them to get together and they were so happy. She walked over to them quietly. "Hey guys wake up!" She said calmly.
They woke up. "She wasn't to much trouble was she?" Fred asked. "No it was real easy." Andy said. "Oh you loved it baby." Diana laughed. "So did you." Andy retorted. "Yea, it might be nice to have kids someday." Diana said. "Woah! Serious!" Andy said excited. "Well yea but not for a while." Diana said winking at Andy. "Thanks for watching Gemma again." Joy said. "You sure she's okay?" Fred asked. "She's fine!" Andy yelled "Now let us leave!"
When they got to the car Andy could hardly concentrate on the road. With his tiredness and Diana saying she wanted kids, he had a lot to think about. But he wasent thinking about the tree he was about to hit. "ANDY!" He noticed it. He put his arm over Diana.
CRASH.
