| �Ok, beautiful, you go out there and dazzle them all with those sparkly wings of yours, ok?� Kaela nodded, excitedly. �Ok, mommy! Love you!� Corinne smiled and hugged her. �I love you too. Me and Aunt Charlotte will be waiting for you when you�re all done, ok?� The little girl nodded, happily, before running off to join up with her friends. Corinne shook her head. �She�s so grown up.� Charlotte nodded, slinging her arm around her friend�s shoulders. �C�mon. We want good seats don�t we?� �Ok, precious. You go make Daddy proud ok?� Isabella nodded. �Ok, daddy.� He grinned. �Gimme a kiss.� She grinned and placed both hands on the side of his face and planted a smacking kiss on his cheek. He grinned and headed to his seat. Charlotte grinned. �That was the most precious thing I�ve ever seen!� Corinne beamed. �I know. Let�s go find Kaela.� Charlotte nodded, before seeing a familiar face. �Monica!� The girl turned around and squealed. �Charlotte!� Corinne shook her head as the two ran to each other, talking excitedly. Pushing her way backstage, she found her daughter standing beside a dark haired girl, talking excitedly. �Kaela!� Kaela grinned and ran to her mom. �Mommy!� She yanked on her mom�s hand, pulling her over to the little girl she was standing beside earlier. �Mommy! This is Isabella! She�s my best fwend!� Corinne knelt down. �It�s very nice to meet you Isabella.� The little girl smiled shyly. �You too. Have you seen my Daddy or my Uncle Justy?� Corinne frowned. �No, sweetie, I haven�t�� She trailed off, as the little girl squealed. �Daddy!� Corinne turned to see her jump into a dark-haired man�s arms. She kissed her dad, before jumping down. �Kaela! C�mere!!� Kaela took off running towards them. �Kaela Anne!� Corinne sighed and stood up. Isabella beamed. �Daddy, this is Kaela. This is my Daddy.� JC knelt down and shook her hand, solemnly. �It�s nice to meet you Kaela.� Kaela tried to imitate his face, nodding solemnly as well. He burst out laughing and pulled the little girl into a hug. �You�re a cute one, Kaela.� Isabella smiled and put on a stern face. �You be nice, Daddy, she�s my vewy best fwend!� He nodded. �Ok, princess.� Kaela smiled. �My mommy calls me pwincess too!� He grinned. �She does, huh? Where is your mommy?� Kaela pointed back. �Back thewe.� �Kaela Anne Rollins!� Isabella sighed. �Uh-oh. Yoo in twouble.� Kaela nodded. �Um-hmm.� Corinne sighed, kneeling down. �How many times have I told you not to run off like that?� Kaela hung her head. �I sowwy.� Corinne nodded. �You should be.� Kaela nodded, before brightening up. �That�s Bella�s daddy!� Isabella grinned. �And that�s Kaela�s mommy!� Corinne stood up, as well as JC. He nodded, and held out his hand. �JC.� She took his hand and nodded. �Corinne.� He smiled. �It�s nice to meet you.� She smiled back. �Ah, you too.� �JC!� �Corinne!� The 2 looked up to see Monica, Charlotte, Justin, and 3 other men walking towards them. Kaela grinned and ran to Charlotte, while Isabella took off towards the 3 other men. �Uncle Chwis! Uncle Lance! Uncle Joe-Joe!� They grinned and held their arms out to the running little girl. Charlotte grinned. �How bout we go get some ice cream, kiddo?� Kaela nodded, excitedly. Isabella looked over at JC. �Can we go too, Daddy?� JC smiled. �I suppose so.� Isabella grinned. �Yay! Hear that Kaela? We gonna get ice creaam!� Kaela grinned. �Yup! C�mon, let�s goo! Fore it closes!� Corinne sighed. �Is yours as much a handful as mine is?� JC sighed and laughed. �You have no idea.� She laughed, before following the others outside. Corinne looked down at her daughter. �What kinda of scream do you want?� Kaela frowned. �Umm� can I get choc�late with spinkles?� Corinne smiled. �Yes, you can get chocolate with spinkles.� Isabella smiled. �I want the same thing, Daddy!� He shook his head, smiling. �Ok, punkin.� The girl behind the counter, nodded, numbly. �Oh� ok. Sure.� Monica rolled her eyes. �Fans. Everywhere you go. It�s tiring. Corinne? JC? What are you guys getting?� �Mint chocolate chip.� They looked at each other and burst out laughing. Kaela giggled and whispered to Isabella. �My mommy likes the same scream as your daddy.� Isabella nodded and covered her mouth, giggling. �Mommy, you have more scream than me.� Corinne smiled. �Don�t talk with your mouth full, Kaela.� Isabella looked at her dad. �Daddy can me and Kaela go to the park tomorrow?� He smiled. �You�d hafta ask Kaela�s mommy about that.� Isabella nodded. �Cori? Can Kaela come to the park tomorrow?� Corinne smiled. �Since it�s Saturday, I guess so�� Kaela grinned. �Yay!� Corinne laughed, wiping her daughter�s face. �If you promise to go to sleep tonight, when I tell you.� Kaela nodded. �Okie dokie, mommy!� Monica yawned. �I�m all tired out. I think it�s time to get going.� JC smiled down at his sleeping daughter. �I agree.� Corinne grinned. �The only problem is, how to get those two apart, without either of them waking up.� Charlotte laughed. �Tbey do look awfully cute.� The 8 looked down at the sleeping girls, and smiled. JC pulled out a piece of paper and scribbled something down and handed it to Corinne. �That�s my number� I just wanted to give it to you� in case, ya know. If you ever need someone to watch Kaela� when Charlotte�s too busy� I�d be more than happy to.� Corinne nodded, and ripped the paper in half pulling out a pen, writing hers on it. �Here�s mine. Why don�t you give me a call tomorrow and let me know what time you�re heading to the park?� He nodded. �Ok.� She smiled, picking up Kaela. �Oh, and the same goes for you� whenever you need someone to watch Isabella�� He nodded, cradling Isabella in his arms. �I�ll see you tomorrow then.� She nodded. �Alright. Night JC.� He smiled. �Goodnight, Corinne.� Monica looked at Charlotte and grinned knowingly. �I believe they forgot to say goodbye to us.� Monica nodded. �I think they forgot we were even here.� Justin�s ears perked up. �What are you two talking about?� Charlotte grinned. �I think JC and Corinne like each other.� Justin smirked. �They barely know each other.� Monica grinned. �50 bucks, says they hook up.� Joey, Lance, and Chris grinned. �The bet is on.� �Daddy?� JC looked over at his daughter, as he tucked her into bed. �What is it sweetie?� Isabella smiled. �Do you think Cori�s pretty?� He sighed. �Yes, princess, I think Cori�s very very pretty.� Isabella nodded, before snuggling down beneath the covers, closing her eyes. �Hey, Bella?� She looked up at him. �Hmm, Daddy?� He took a deep breath. �Does Kaela have a daddy?� Isabella shook her head. �No. It�s just Kaela and Cori.� He nodded. �You get some sleep, ok?� She nodded, and he ran a hand over his face, heading for his room. Stripping down to boxers and a wifebeater he crawled into bed, trying not to think of the woman he had met hours earlier. Her long dirty blonde hair, her emerald eyes� He shook his head, and fell into a restless sleep. Two |
