I'll Fight Hell to Hold You

Back Home

Tommy carried Mady inside and sat her on the play blanket in the living room. The other three followed while Paul carried in the first two bags. Tommy managed three more, leaving the last two for Paul. Once everything was inside and sitting on the kitchen counters, Tommy and Paul began unloading them.

"Let's make dinner together. " said Tommy. "I'll make pizza while you work on the ,"yuck", relish."

"Sounds good, baby." "I'll even save some of the olives for the pizza."

"Once again, yuck. I'll put them on your half."

They shared a kiss before setting to work on dinner. Tommy knew the girls would eat plain cheese pizza while Paul liked vegetables on his. Tommy preferred pepperoni which Paul thought was disgusting. He wound up making three different pizzas. 

The pizzas soon filled the kitchen with wonderful smells. Paul was setting the table for dinner while the girls played. Soon the six of them were eating and drinking while the dessert cookies baked. Paul had made chocolate chip and peanut butter ones.

"Paul, what on earth are you going to use relish for?" "The only thing I've ever seen it eaten on is hot dogs and none of us like those."

"It's going to be made for Eric's cookout. He and Geneie love hot dogs so I told him I'd make them some."

"Oh, when is it?" 

"Eric said in two weeks. He's trying to surprise Gene for some reason."

Tommy snickered, knowing it wouldn't be a secret much longer.
