One Night in Boston

Chapter 19

The last four months have flown by. I miss him every moment he is gone. Filming is all done today. He'll be home tomorrow. In time for littles to get here. Sebby's been here the last week. His filming is done. Not wanting to leave me alone right now he came here instead of going home to New York. Amber wishes she could be here. With the boys it makes it difficult for her to get away. The leafs have changed color. Looking out the window I never stop being amazed by the beauty. All my life I've lived here in New England. Fall has always been my favorite. I take a sip of my herbal tea. God I can't wait to have coffee again. Or wine. Sushi. I miss all of it. I also miss seeing my feet. Being able to get out of bed without effort. Or a chair for that matter. I sigh rubbing Littles. "I love you little man. But I'm about to serve an eviction notice." I laugh. He's been still today and my back has been spasming here and there. The front door closes. Sebby's footsteps followed by Dodgie and Allura. They all went to take Liv to school. I have a hard time getting behind the wheel now. He's been the best adopted brother ever. Helping me with all the chores that I have a hard time to do. My brothers have their own lives. Mom's getting older. He's been taking Liv anywhere she needs to go. Even when it with her friends. She's clearly now the coolest kid in school. Seeing is she has Sebastian Stan as her chauffeur. Now she's in her freshman year in high school. It went too quick. I think he does it because he wants to keep an eye on the boys. The ones starting to pay her a great deal of attention. He loves watching her in drama club. Watching her on stage. He especially loves going to her acting lessons. He adores sharing it with her. His and her Daddy Chris's craft. Helping. How to work through characters. Making it easier for her to understand. "Imagine little doll. If that was you. How would you react? Get to know everything you can about them. Become them in that moment. Don't worry about the noise around you. Then read the lines." He smiles at her when he gives her direction. Easing her anxiety. I swear he's better than her coach. "Hey sis. How you feeling?" He asks as he gets a cup of coffee. "Pretty good just ready for this one now. I miss having a glass of wine with you." I sigh. He grins looking over my shoulder. "Know what you mean. Miss being able to have someone who appreciates fine bourbon with me. These fools don't get it. JJ thinks its gross. You need to work on your girl." It's Mackie. I turn to face him. It's been a couple months since I've been able to see him. He's been filming. Jamie goes and sees him often though. Things seem to be going well for them. She told me yesterday that she's never been so content in her life. Which made my heart swell. Finally. We've both been through so much. So much hard break. She deserves this. A good man. I know he is. He's head over heels for her. "Holy sh*t someone grew a bunch when Uncle Tone was away." He hugs me gently. Little man kicks for the first time today. "Hey there Lil Cap. Miss uncle?" He rubs my now huge belly. "Hey Mama. How you doing?" He asks. "Feeling like a house." I grin. "Hey now. You're beautiful and you know it." He kisses my cheek. "I didn't say I was ugly Anthony I said I was fat." I tease him. "At least you still have your sense of humor." He cracks up.

We stand in the kitchen for a while. Catching up on everything. I feel the pain in my back again. "Ouch!" I exclaim. They both freeze. "Relax. It's just a backache. I need to sit. Being on my feet too long this happens." I waddle to one of the kitchen table chairs. I can no longer get up on the bar stools by the island. Lowering myself slowly Sebby runs to my side. "Let me help stubborn *ss." He laughs. I don't argue. They join me at the table. Mackie bringing me another cup of tea. "How things going Tone?" I ask. Trying to distract myself from the dull ache in my back. Which is starting to disappear. "Incredible. I mean how could they not? Filming's good. My kids are great and then there is always JJ." He grins like a fool in love. His nickname for her I find adorable. I grab his hand. "Never been so thrilled to hear anything in my life. She says the same. Thank you Tone. Both of you actually. For giving my girls their happily ever after. I love you both." I smile at them. "I think we should be saying the same to you sis." Sebby grins. I grimace. The pain came back. Sh*t this spasm hurt more. "Krissy you sure everything is good?" Mackie eyes me. "I-I'm sure." I spit out. "It sure as hell doesn't look it. Seabass grab your phone man. Now. Tell me when you don't feel this anymore." He looks me in the eyes. "Hey, stooges I'm fine. It's already gone ok"? I laugh. "Seabass hit that timer. I'm sure you are Krissy. But let's not play around in case alright?" He strokes my hand. We continue our conversation. Talk about how I'm so excited Chris is finally coming home tomorrow. They ask about when my filming starts. If I know my role yet. Was the script good. I nod. "It seems it. Hard for me not to like anything Marvel though. I don't have to start anything for a few months after this one comes. I have to do the Marvel bod now too." Laughing I leave it at that. I asked Kevin not to say anything about exactly what we're doing until we get to set. He agreed that would be an awesome experience for all on board. "Still can't tell us huh?" Mackie laughs. I shake my head no. "Figures." He grins. "F*ck!" I yell as a sharp pain hits my back to the front of my stomach. "Seabass whats that timer say?" Tone asks. "Seven minutes man. Why?" He asks confused. "Are you serious man? What do you think?" He says annoyed. "Sh*t! No! She has another week man! Chris is coming home tomorrow. What the h*ll are we supposed to do? We're the idiots remember?" He yells.
