Big Things Come In Small Packages.

Part Four

The afternoon sun woke up AJ. He rolled over almost crushing Alexanderia; and he checked to make sure that she was okay. He looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 2. "Shit, time to get up!" AJ reached over Alexanderia to wake Howie up. "D, wake up! It's time to get up." Howie mumble something and then turned over and went back to sleep. AJ let out a sigh of frustration "D, Wake up! We have so much stuff to do before we go to Kev's." "I'm up, I'm up" said Howie sitting up. "What time is it anyway?" "Almost two" Howie jumped up out of bed. "Why did you say so in the first place." AJ got up out of bed and began to wake up Alexanderia. "Sweetheart, it's time to get up, okay?" AJ was surprised when she opens her eyes. "Hey good morning sleepy head." And AJ picked her up and walked over to Howie. "Why don't you take your shower now while I make something for breakfast, lunch whatever. Then when your finish with your shower you can help her get dressed so then I'll take my shower?" said AJ. "Sure" AJ was about to kiss Howie but he turn away. AJ looked hurt but then Howie whisper "Wait until we tell her something about us I don't want her to get freaked out." "I understand." AJ and Alexanderia went downstairs to the kitchen while Howie went to go take his shower.

AJ sat Alexanderia down on the kitchen counter. "Okay sweetheart, what do you want for breakfast or lunch?" ALexanderia just stared at AJ. Thinking to himself 'right she doesn't talk.' "How about some bacon and eggs?" Alexanderia nodded yes. AJ got the frying pan, the eggs and bacon and began cooking them. AJ turn his back from the stove and went to the counter that Alexanderia was sitting on. "Do you want some orange juice?" Alexanderia nodded yes. AJ went to get the juice when Alexanderia notice the eggs were starting to burn. When AJ gave her the juice she pointed to the stove. "Ah, shit" AJ ran to the stove and pick up the frying pan with his bare hands which cause him to drop it because it was too hot. "Shit, Fuckin' Hell, stupid, stupid me." AJ went to the sinking and got the dishcloth to pick up the frying pan and got something to clean up the eggs. While all this was going on Alexanderia jumped down from the counter and went in one of the corners.

When AJ was done cleaning up the mess, he looked at the counter where Alexanderia was and saw that she was gone. "Where could she be?" He looked around the kitchen and saw her in the corner and he walked over to her. "Hey sweetheart, why are you in the corner? Did I scare you? I didn't mean to scare you. Why don't you come on out" AJ reach out his hand but she didn't take it. Howie walked into the kitchen "Babe, what was all the swearing I heard for? Where is Alexanderia?" "She's in the corner I think I scared her and she won't come out." Howie walked over to them. "Hey Alexanderia, you don't have to be scared of your Dad. Why don't you come out and I'll help you get dressed. Then we all can go out for lunch, okay?" Howie reach out his hand and she took it and he picked her up. "See look everything is okay now. Why don't you go see Daddy?" Howie passed Alexanderia to AJ and she let AJ take her, which was a good sign. AJ passed Alexanderia back to Howie so that he could get her washed and dressed.

Finding something for Alexanderia to wear was a hard task. Howie finally decided to take a pair of his shorts and one of AJ's shirts and somehow pin them on her so that they would stay. When Howie was done with his creation he had to hold back a laugh. "Well its the best I could do but don't worry you won't be in it for that long." AJ came to see how Howie was doing and when he saw Alexanderia he let out a big laugh. Howie glared at him. "I'm sorry D, but you have to admit it is funny." Howie picked Alexanderia up and they headed to the car with AJ saying sorry while following them. "So are we going to eat first or go straight to the mall?" asked AJ. "I don't know first let's see if Alexanderia is hungry." Howie turned around "Alexanderia are you hungry?" She shook her head no. "Are you sure?" She nodded her head yes. "Why don't we just go to the mall pick up the stuff we need then go straight to Kev's because we don't have that much time. We're getting food there anyways," said Howie. "Knowing Kevin he expects us to be late because you're with me" which cause them both to laugh.

AJ pulls into the mall parking lot. Howie picked her up and they walked inside the mall. "J, why don't you go get Alexanderia some clothes while I got get a car seat and a book that we need from the bookstore." "Yeah sure, I'll meet you back here in fifteen minutes." Howie put Alexanderia down and AJ took her hand. They watch Howie until they couldn't see him anymore. "Don't worry he'll be back. Now me and you have to find you some clothes. I can't have you walk around looking like this." They walked into Gap for kids.

Howie walked into the bookstore. He was looking for a book on families for kids He thought that this would be an easier way to explain to Alexanderia about him and AJ. He found a whole row of books like that. It took him five minutes to pick the book that he thought was the best one. After that he went to Sears to pick up a car seat for Alexanderia.

In Gap Kids AJ was having a ball. AJ love to shop and now he had a reason to which made it even better. He had dresses, pants, hats and sunglasses. You name it, AJ brought for Alexanderia. By the time that they were finishes AJ had brought six bags full of stuff. The outfit that he left on Alexanderia was a yellow sundress with a matching hat and sunglasses.

When they went back to meet Howie, Howie was impress. "Is this the same Alexanderia that I left only a couple of minutes a go. Ohh lala." Howie took Alexanderia's hand and they walked to the car. AJ helped Howie fix the car seat in the car. Once they were done they were off to Kevin's house both nervous because they didn't know what to expect.
