Best Friends

I finally arrived at my brother's house for dinner with my wife.

Hey sis.  Hi Maura.  Thanks for today.  I heard baby girl wasn't too thrilled and warned Harold. Yeah but after dinner I need to meet with you lawyer. I need to practice with you on how Ann may ask you questions. Okay! Tommy, Drew, Baby girl, Dorothy, Eric,  Olivia  are coming for dinner too and should be here soon.

Man it coming down hard. I am glad we only had to walk. Hi Tommy and Drew. Hi sis how did Laura do? Let's wait until everyone arrives so I don't have to repeat myself Tommy. Okay I guess.

Tommy bring the dishes we made to to the dining room.

Everyone showed up and hugged Laura only. 

Alright well everyone come to the kitchen so we can say a blessing.  As you know we will have to eat it in two rooms. Thank you all for texting me,  calling me and even coming by my work after finding out to make sure I was okay.  It felt good knowing so many cared and were glad I was safe.   Everyone bow your heads says Frankie. God thank you for having family and friends who care about my and others. God if it wasn't for you,  my wife would not be standing with me beside me. Please bless this good and all over loved ones. Amen.

Everyone Laura die well being interviewed by Harold today. As she said earlier to Avery and I she knows the questions being around cops so long.  After dinner,  we are going to have a mock trial and I will be Ann. Eric you will be Caleb. Tommy you be Joe Cruz and act arrogant. I can be arrogant.  We know uncle. Hush Olivia. Yes uncle.

We all went two different areas to eat after we served ourselves and got our beverages.
We all cleaned up and went to the game room.

with the dining room chairs for more sitting.

Frankie please turn off the TV.  Everyone who doesn't have a part looked annoyed and pissed.  Olivia, Julianne and Dorothy whisper while it's going om. Avery look like you want to kill him. If it  was him I would but since it's uncle I won't. You guys even though we are pretending,  you still have to act good in court or Caleb will have you leave and maybe thrown in jail if anyone says something threatening or even go after Joe.  Frankie you are going to be looking at your wife concerned and worried and try to get him. I can do that. Frankie whatever you do, don't hit nor spit on Tommy. I won't.  Caleb would throw me in jail and fine me. Plus Chin would be pissed because he would be forced to have me be disciplined.

Everyone nodded as they understood.

We all are did our acting well. Eric had Frankie leave when he threatened him and called him a few choice words.

Laura I am going to ask baby girl, Avery Harris, and Carmen come by here unannounced for dinner with their spouses to prep you with the exception of Daniela . Daniela wont bring Ann. So please be prepared to cook extra every night except the night before the trial.  You won't know who is coming.   I have court tomorrow so I  need to go home and finish preparing.  Everyone thank you for coming.  Please be careful driving home.
