| �Actually, I really couldn�t sleep, so I was just driving around. In fact, she didn�t call me, I called her when I saw you outside.� �Well, once again, thanks.� She was about to walk in but Howie grabbed her hand and just held it. She turned around and stared into Howie�s eyes. �Um, I was wondering if I could take you out sometime?� �Yeah.� She grabbed a pen and a piece of paper out of her purse. �Here�s my phone number. Call.� �Will do.� He was about to kiss her when he heard a noise from upstairs and a kid walk down the stairs. �Um, Howie, I have to go.� �Okay, I�ll call later.� She gave him a hug and he walked back to his car. He waved to her and left. She walked into the house and sighed. She should have told him about the kids right away, but she liked him and didn�t want to say anything then. We�ll wait to see if anything comes out of this and then I�ll tell him. She walked over to Justin. �Aren�t you supposed to be in bed? I know you don�t get up this early?� �I know mommie. But I heard you and I wanted to say good morning.� �Ahh, sweetheart, good morning. Now, let�s go back to sleep.� �Okay,� Justin mumbled in her shoulder. She took him upstairs and laid him down in his bed. She drew the covers up and gave him a kiss on the forehead. She closed the door and went across the hall. She walked over to Savanna and bent down. She gave her a kiss on the forehead and Savanna mumbled a �good morning�. Theresa just smiled to herself and walked down the hall. She quickly checked up on Megan and smiled. Megan was sleeping peacefully. She closed the door and noticed that the guestroom�s door was closed. �Funny, that door is never closed,� she thought. She walked over and opened there. She saw AJ, sleeping peacefully, too. She closed the door but AJ caught her. �Theresa?� he called out. She opened the door and smiled at him. He couldn�t help but smile back. �Yes?� �Good morning. Or good night.� �Depends on how you look at it. Go back to sleep and I�ll see ya in a few hours.� �Why do you say that?� he asked. �Oh, kids are up at 9:00 or so. So, therefore I�m up to.� �Megan doesn�t watch them?� �No, I don�t put that on her. She works too, so I try to let her sleep.� �But then you only get like what, four hours of sleep?� �Yeah, but I�m used to it. Just like you guys. Go back to sleep and I promise we can talk about this later, okay?� �Yeah,� he said. He rolled over and closed his eyes. He felt Theresa walk over and tucked him in. And she then kissed him on the forehead. �Ah, another child to take care off,� she said. She smiled and AJ knew it. Once again, even though he was falling asleep, he smiled. Theresa walked out of the room and down to hers. She found a surprise though. Both Justin and Savanna had walked down to her room and fell asleep in her bed. She changed and walked over to the bed. She looked at her kids and sighed. Most people, like her family, didn�t believe she got pregnant at the age of 18. Though, with the help of Megan, Theresa got herself through college. In fact, her kids even supported her. And slowly her family started supporting her also. Then she thought about Howie and how she was going to tell him. She couldn�t and she knew that AJ knew. �He better not tell another soul, or he won�t be living,� she thought. She laid down and drifted off to sleep. Megan woke up a few hours later. She forced herself out of bed, and walked down the hall to check and see if Theresa had made it home alright. She tried to remember the phone call that she had gotten after Theresa had called her. Then, it hit her...it was Howie, he had found Theresa asleep on the corner. Man, Megan felt really bad about all of that. When, Megan got to Theresa�s room she saw her and the kids laying on top of the cover�s totally zonked out. She walked up to the bed and covered everyone up. Then, she left Theresa�s room, and remembered AJ. She went to his room, and peeked in the door. �He looks so sweet, like that.� she thought. She went over to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek, and started to leave the room when he woke up. "Hey baby." He said. "Hi, how did you sleep?" "Good, thanks for letting me crash here." "No problem, but how or when are you going to go home?" "What time do you go to work?" "I work from eleven to seven. If you want I can give you a ride home before work." "That or if you want I can call one of the guys. It�s totally up to you." "Alright, I�ll take you home. If you get dressed I�ll make us some breakfast." "No, let me take you out for that." "Okay, but first I have to jump into the shower." "I�ll talk to you in a little bit then." He replied. "Bye, baby." He sat up and gave Megan a soft kiss on the lips, and she got lost in his brown eyes once again. She didn�t want to get up and leave, but she had too. As she got up to leave he grabbed her hand a pulled her back on the bed. "Can, I have one more kiss?" he asked as he pulled her closer. "Of course." This kiss was more passionate. Megan was the first to pull away. "Trust me, I�ll be back." Megan said as she walked out of the room, and headed for the shower. Theresa slowly started waking up, due to the noise around her. She looked over and found Savanna and Justin talking. She just smiled to herself and went into her bathroom. She could hear water coming from some other place. �Either Meg or AJ,� she thought to herself. A few moments later she came out, refreshed. As she was putting a shirt on, she glanced at the time. It was 9:30. Not a first time for her to be up so early. She finished getting dressed and jumped on the bed. �How long have you two been awake?� Theresa asked the kids. �Only for like 10 minutes,� Savanna said. �Okay, who�s hungry?� �I am mommie,� Justin said. Savanna just nodded her head. �Okay, follow me,� Theresa told them. She jumped off the bed and walked around her room, she walked over her bed, through her bathroom and was about to walk over the bed again when she heard someone laughing. �What�s so funny, AJ?� �That was to cute. Follow the leader.� |
