Oh, this is gonna be a gas!

Advice with Aunt Jo

Jo was sitting on the couch with Lizzie the two just cuddling while Red laid her head on Lizzies belly. Red had just begun registering that her newest playmates were growing safe and sound inside one of her favorite people. Jo got a call from Kingston Morgan and Chris' 12 year old son "Aunt Jo?"

Jo could hear the uncertainty in his voice "What is it bubs?"

"Aunt Jo, can you come to get me?"

Before Lizzie could ask her anything Jo was on her feet running to find her does and keys "Where are you?"

"I'm at school."

"Didn't school get out like two hours ago?"

"I stayed for a project."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, can you come...uhm...just you?"

"I'm on my way bubs?"

Lizzie asked, "What's going on?!"

"I need to go get Kingston from school."

"Is he okay?"

"I don't know."

"Do you need me to come?"

"He asked that it just be me."

Lizzie understood the bond between Kingston and Jo. Jo was there when Morgan first met Kingston. She was his familiar face in the new country, she spoke his language. "Okay, Go do your thing Mama. Call Mo so she doesn't worry."

Jo kissed Lizzies cheek "I love you,"

"I love you too,"

Jo grabbed two surfboards from her garage before she jumped into her Branco racing off towards Kingstons school.

45 minutes later 

Jo pulled into the empty school parking lot to see her nephew sitting on the bench. She hoped of the car going to stand in front of Kingston. "Come on man." She took hold of his backpack as the two walked back to the Branco. Jo took a minute to call Morgan "Hey! Kingston called me and said he wanted to go surfing today. Cool if I have him done by dinner. I'll even feed him for you."

"Sounds good to me! He's been asking a lot lately when he could see you. I'll see you tonight Jo.

"See you tonight Mo."

Jo walked to the Bronco and put his backpack in the back before hopping inside "Le Cafe de Plage?" Kingston nodded as she drove to one of Malibus's hottest ice cream places. When they walked inside Jo leaned down whispering "Whatcha want?"

"Uhmm...vanilla chocolate chips."

"Thats a really good choice. I think I'm gonna go with salted caramel."

"Sounds good."

The worker looked at Jo "Hey! What can I get you two?"

"Hi" Jo smiled "We will take two waffle cones one vanilla chocolate chips and the other salted caramel."

"Okay!"

Once they had their ice cream they pilled into the Branco eating their ice cream while they drove to the beach. When they were done Jo asked, "You ready to go surfing?"

"What?" I don't have my trunks."

"Come here." The two went to the back of the Branco. Jo unlocked a lockbox she kept in the back. she pulled out a pair of swim trunks before putting his backpack inside.  Kingston went to the back changing before putting his clothes back in the box. Jo quickly stripped down to her surf shirt and bottoms. She locked it up before closing it with a Master Lock lockbox she kept the Branco keys in. She pulled the two surfboards off the top before they made their way to the ocean. They sat by the water wax in hand. As they waxed their boards Jo asked "What do you want to talk about kiddo?"
