A Father’s Day Chronicle

“What are you doing?” came the question that had Mikey wondering why he was being so difficult about this as she finished yanking the covers away, grabbed Sebastian’s hand and-

Really didn’t appreciate the long-suffering sigh that followed since she was doing this for his own good. When he didn’t move fast enough, she grabbed his other hand, gave his hand a pull and-

“What are we doing?” Jonathan asked, jumping out of bed with a smile that drew Mikey’s attention as she adjusted her backpack over her… Read More

“I’m starting to think that you’re paranoid,” came the announcement from behind him as Trevor pulled the curtain aside just enough so that he could take another look at the hotel parking lot and make sure that nothing had changed in the last five minutes.

“They’re out there,” Trevor said, debating asking the hotel to switch their room to help throw them off to buy himself a little more time to figure this out.

“This makes me so sad,” Mikey mumbled with a forlorn sigh as a black pickup truck parked in the back far corner caught his attention… Read More

“My mother wants to know when I’m allowed to go home,” Mikey said as Trevor dropped down on the other hotel bed.

“That depends if your father is still waiting for me,” Trevor said, dropping his head in his hands as Mikey relayed the message.

“They’re all… Read More

“Okay, we need to move faster,” Trevor said, trying not to panic as he looked over his shoulder and-

Quickly shifted his attention back to the teenage girl that wasn’t moving fast enough and said, “We really need to go.”

“Do we, though?” Mikey asked, blinking innocently up at him as he risked another glance over his shoulder and found himself nodding frantically as he decided that they really needed to go now.

Decision made, he grabbed Mikey and threw her over his shoulder and-

“You got us banned!” came the shouted announcement from one of his cousins or uncles, he wasn’t really… Read More

She really was too adorable for words, Sebastian thought while he stood there, watching as Mikey tried to glare him down. They both knew that she was going back in there, the question was, what was it going to cost him?

“I’ll do your homework for the rest of the year,” Sebastian said, deciding to test the waters.

“There’s only a month left in school. Besides, I don’t need you to do my homework,” Mikey said as she turned around and-

“I’ll play catch with you so that you can test out your new… Read More

She wasn’t going back in there, Mikey told herself with a firm nod as she stood there, arms crossed over her chest as she continued to glare at the front door, determined to wait him out.

That was quickly followed by jumping out of the way when Cole shoved the door open a few seconds later so that he could drag Chloe out of the restaurant as he struggled to keep Katie from diving off his shoulder and making a run for it. For a moment, Mikey considered asking him what was going on, but…

It didn’t matter because she was… Read More

“I see that you managed to run Jason off,” Trevor murmured as he watched Jason pause by the door, looking torn between staying and making a run for it.

“Mikey has a new fast ball,” Sebastian said, making Trevor wince in sympathy as he glanced from Jason, who was now glaring at Sebastian, to Mikey, who was adding another scoopful of mashed potatoes on a plate with the saddest expression that he’d ever… Read More

“That’s not going to end well,” Sebastian said with a heartfelt sigh and a sad shake of his head as Jason sat there, watching as Reese noticeably struggled to figure out a way to appease his seriously pissed off wife.

“It’s really not,” Jason had to agree as he reached for Mikey’s untouched plate only to find it suddenly gone and-

“I want in,” Jonathan said as he dropped down on the end of the bench seat next to Mikey as he grabbed a fork and dug in as Mikey sat there, her shoulders slumped in defeat as she mumbled, “I’d… Read More

“I’d really like to go home now,” came the softly whispered words that had Reese looking up from his food to find the bench across from him empty.

Frowning, he stood up only to find Mikey curled up in the fetal position on the other bench. When he opened his mouth to ask her what was wrong, she slowly raised a damning finger and pointed to his right. Curious, Reese followed the gesture to find Sebastian sitting on the other side of the restaurant, slowly rolling what looked like one of Mikey’s baseballs between his hands as he kept his… Read More

“One hundred dollars,” came the quietly mumbled words that had Mikey frowning as she dropped another piece of fried chicken on her plate.

“Two hundred,” came the follow-up before she got a chance to look over her shoulder to find Uncle Jared standing behind her.

“For…” Mikey prompted since she’d learned her lesson in agreeing to anything before finding out the details to avoid situations like this… Read More
