| Chapter 2 |
| Joshua just stared at his father, "Kimmie is moving in here?" "Yes. Why is there a problem?" Shady asked praying there wasn't. Joshua swallowed before speaking, "No, no I don't think we'd have a problem. It's just, don't you think it's a bit too soon?" Shady smiled at his son, so protective, "No honey it's fine I love her and she's having my baby so you'll have another baby brother or sister in 7 months." Joshua collected his thoughts [[Be happy for daddy don't push him away]] Joshua smiled a reassuring smile, "I'm really happy for you daddy." Shady smiled and hugged Joshua, "I'm glad sweetie." "Am I interrupting something?" Justin asked as he walked in sweaty from playing basketball. Shady smiled at his youngest son, "No. I just need to tell you and Joey something. Did you see him when you were coming back?" Justin walked in from the kitchen where he got a bottle of water and shook his head, "No. I think he's at the mall, why don't you call him he should have his cell with him." Shady smiled at Justin and pulled him into his lap and began tickling him. Justin squirmed and giggled as his fathers fingers tickled his side, "No...Daddy stop...Daddy stop...Daddy...hate...being...tickled... daddy." Joshua was laughing really hard as Shady finally let Justin breathe. "You stink JuJu. You need to take a shower." Shady giggled as he pretended to hate the smell and wrinkled his nose. Justin laughed, "Daddy! I have just been playing basketball of course I smell." Shady shook his head and asked Joshua, "Have you got Joey's number?" Joshua smiled at his father, "Yes daddy, I'll go get it." Joshua ran to his backpack and pulled out his phonebook and wrote the number down for Shady and put his book back in his bag. Shady dialed the phone and waited for Joey to pick up. "Hello?" Joey answered. "Joseph this is your father." Shady said before giggling. "Daddy!" Joey sounded happy, "Why are you calling me?" "I need to tell you something and I can't do it over the phone, do you mind coming home so I can tell you?" "I don't mind daddy, I'll be home in 10 minutes." "Bye Joey, I love you." "I love you too daddy. Bye." Joey said before hanging up the phone and telling Kelly he has to go home. "Is he coming?" Joshua asked. "Yeah he'll be here in 10 minutes." Shady replied snuggling Justin in his arms. 10 minutes later Joey came bounding in the door and grinned at his father, "Hi daddy." He ran over and hugged Joshua, "Hi JC." Joshua hugged back, "Hi Joey." Joey ran over and tickled Justin who batted his fingers away, "Hi JuJu." Justin smiled as he giggled, "Hi Joe. What is with everyone tickling me?" Justin pouted. Everyone laughed as Justin pouted he had perfected it years ago. "Ok enough playing around for now. I have to tell you something." Shady said as he gently layed Justin on the couch. "What's wrong daddy?" Joey asked. "Nothing sweetie. It's about me and Kimmie." Joey and Justin exchanged a look ::Had they finally broken up?:: "What about you two?" Joey asked. Shady squirmed a little, "Well me and Kimmie were talking and we think it's time she moved in here and she is pregnant. Y'all gonna have a new brother or sister." "That's great daddy!" Justin exclaimed hugging his father, he sent Joshua a look. Joshua shook his head and mouthed, "Be happy for him. We don't want to push him away and lose our daddy." Justin nodded his head, "When is the baby due?" Shady hugged Justin back glad he approves, "In 7 months." "Do you know what it is?" "It's too early to tell." Justin pulled back and smiled at his father, "I'm happy for you, I love you daddy." Shady smiled at Justin, "I'm glad JuJu," Shady turned to his other son, "Joe-Joe bear?" Joey looked up, "Yes daddy?" Shady looked at Joey and spoke carefully, "Are you ok with this?" Joey looked at Joshua and Justin then back to Shady, "Yes daddy I'm fine with it." Joey got up and hugged Shady, "When is she moving in daddy?" Shady hugged back, "I don't know a couple of weeks or so." Joshua stood up and announced, "Why don't we go out and celebrate?" Justin jumped up excitedly, "Cool, that sounds like fun," He turned his pout on Shady, "Can we daddy? Pleeease?" Shady laughed at his pouting son, "Ok. All of you better shower and get dressed and we'll leave in an hour." Justin jumped up and down and hugged Shady, "Thank you daddy." Then he ran upstairs. "I'm really happy for you daddy." Joey said before he ran upstairs to his own room. "I'm happy for you daddy. It will be interesting, I love you." "I love you too Joshie." Shady yelled after his son as he ran upstairs to shower. [[I'm glad the're okay with it. I hope Chris and Lance fit in with them, I'm sure they will]] Shady thought before he went upstairs and got ready for wherever their going on this celebration night. |
