A Wonderful Life ~ 24
"This is so weird." Jack smiled while feeding Samuel.
"What?"
"I'm feeding a baby. I've never even been around a baby." Jack said excited when Toby's cell phone rang.
"Yeah." He answered while smiling at Jack.
"Hey." CJ said from the other end. "Where are you?"
"At a restaurant with the kids."
"So you picked up the babies?"
"Yep. Jack's helping me feed them." Toby winked at Jack. "How's Derek?"
"He's mad that he didn't get to fly."
"He's still on that?"
"He thinks if he concentrated more on the flying part, he could have."
"Are you going to talk to him?" Toby asked.
"Hold on." CJ said quickly.
"Dad, I'm telling you, it almost worked." Derek grabbed the phone and said quickly.
"You could have kill yourself." Toby said.
"No way. The leaves broke my fall."
"I'm glad they were useful." Toby smirked.
"Is Jack there?"
"Yeah."
"Can I talk to him?"
"Yeah." Toby handed Jack the phone.
"Hello?" Jack answered.
"Hey, I got a cast, dude."
"Cool, we can draw pictures on it and stuff."
"Yeah, but not until tomorrow."
"Why?"
"Mom's making me go home and study while you're out with dad."
"That's sucks."
"Yeah, she thinks I jumped out of the window to get out of studying."
"Did you?"
"No. I'm not that stupid. I wanted to fly."
"Yeah, not that stupid." Jack rolled his eyes.
"Listen, have fun with my dad. He's a pretty cool guy. Even though everyone calls him a pain in the ass."
"Derek!" CJ snapped and grabbed the phone.
"Hi CJ." Jack started laughing and handed the phone to Toby. "I think she's mad."
"Hello?" Toby asked quietly.
"He said ass!" CJ snapped. "Josh get him to the car!" She ordered.
"Hello?" Toby said again.
"That's another hour you get to study tonight young man!" She was yelling.
"CJ?" Toby said louder.
"What?"
"What's going on?"
"Derek said ass."
"Why?"
"I don't know! Look, I'm taking Derek home to study. You can drop off the twins and then take Jack out some place."
"Like where?"
"I don't know. He doesn't have a father, so this should be fun for him."
"Fine. I can take him to Harry's."
"That's a bar."
"They have dancers." Toby smirked.
"I'm hanging up now." CJ laughed and hung up.
Toby hung up as well. "Okay. So, how would you like to go to the White House with me while I get some paper work?"
"That sounds really cool! My mom kept saying she was going to take me there to go on a tour, but she never did."
"Well, now you'll get to see more than you do on a tour." Toby smiled.
"Sounds like fun!"
"Okay, well help me get the twins ready, and we'll go, okay?"
"Okay." Jack helped put the twins' jackets on and the two left the restaurant.
CJ and Toby's.........
"Mom, that is so unfair!" Derek whined.
"After what you said in the hospital, I don't think it's unfair at all."
"But I don't want to study all day tomorrow!"
CJ glared at him. "I'm sorry, but that's the way the cookie crumbles."
He grumbled a little as Josh helped him to his room.
"Okay, which subject are you going to study first?
Math or Science?" Josh asked.
"Neither."
"Derek, come on. Cooperate this once. For me."
He rolled his eyes. "Math."
"Good, Math." CJ smiled and sat next to Derek.
"Well, I'm going." Josh started walking out.
"Where are you doing?" CJ snapped. "Sit!"
"Ok." Josh quickly obeyed and watched CJ open the book.
"CJ..." Josh started to whine.
"Listen, Toby will be here soon with the twins, go downstairs and wait for him."
"Ok." Josh smiled and ran out.
"Dad's coming back so soon?" Derek asked.
"He's dropping of the twins."
"What about Jack?"
"Jack's with him."
"No, I mean, is he going to take Jack out."
"I told him to."
"Good." Derek smiled. "I think Jack needs a father figure in his life. I'm glad it's dad."
"You're not mad you can't go?" CJ smirked.
"Well, not this time. I think Jack and dad will have fun. Besides, my leg hurts." Derek moaned.
"You're a good friend."
"I learned from you and dad." Derek smiled.
"Thank you." CJ smiled.
"Does this mean I can have some ice cream."
"After you learn division."
"Crap!"
DOWNSTAIRS...
"Hey." Josh opened the door for Toby and grabbed one of the twins.
"How is he?" Toby glared.
"He's good. He's learning Math right now. CJ wants me to watch the twins."
"Just don't let them jump out of the window." Toby smacked him.
"Ouch! Look, it wasn't my fault."
"Whatever." Toby glared. "Jack, come on pal."
"Coming." Jack laughed as he followed Toby out to the car.
"Jack!" Derek screamed from upstaris.
"Hey man!" Jack screamed back.
"Have fun!"
"I will!"
"Derek, division!" CJ snapped.
"Crap!"
"Get in the car." Toby smirked at Jack and took off.
"Derek!" CJ yelled.
"What?" He turned around.
"Stop saying that word. You know I hate it."
"Fine." He sat down on his bed. "I hate Math."
CJ sat down next to him and picked his book up. "Well, I'm sorry pal, but you have to do it, love it or hate it."
"Fine." Derek looked at the book. "I don't get it. It's too hard."
"You haven't even done anything yet!" CJ said. "Come on, I'll help you."
"Okay," he said, knowing he wasn't going to win that battle.
