Daddy's Home - Sophie Mayron

It's the day we are leaving for the trip. I'm pretty excited about it to be honest. I'm just in my room making sure I have everything I and Rocko need for the week cause we do not want to leave anything.

"Soph. Come on, we gotta go." Brad yells up at me.

"Alright! Give me a minute!" I yell back at him.

"You know, if you had woke up earlier with the rest of us then you would be ready by now!" He yells up again.

"Yeah! I get it Brad! I'm coming!" I yell back at him. I grab my suitcase, Rocko's bag and his lead before leaving my room. I did not think it through though cause walking down the stairs with a dog, a bag and a suitcase is really freaking difficult. I stop halfway down to try and rethink the situation.

"Need some help there kiddo?" Grandpa Kurt asks from the bottom of the stairs.

"Yeah thanks." I say to him. He comes up and grabs my suitcase and carry on down the stairs.

"So, who got you the dog?" He asks.

"Oh, Brad. He was trying to out-do dad by doing a big Christmas thing and he got me a dog, Dylan Lakers tickets and Meg a pony." I tell him as we head out the door. He seems slightly shocked and doesn't say anything as we reach the cars. They are both nearly packed and Grandpa seems to have gotten over the shock as he looks at how they are packed.

"You sure you want to pack it like that? Is that how you're gonna do it?" Grandpa Kurt questions Dad and Brad. There is a space in Brads trunk that is big enough for Rocko to fit comfortably and for our stuff to squeeze in.

"Look, me and Brad got everything under control as a team, okay? Right, Brad?" Dad says tapping Brad on the shoulder.

"That's right." Brad says with his usual smile.

"Yeah, what would I know about travel? I've only been to frickin' space." Grandpa Kurt says. I have to hold in my laugh.

"What, did you pack the space shuttle yourself? You pop the trunk, arrange all the bags for you and your little space friends?" Dad says in a sarcastic tone.

"I did, as a matter of fact. Yes, I packed the shuttle." He replies smugly.

Dad and Brad managed to get my stuff in but were now trying to squeeze Brad's one in.

"It is never gonna fit." I tell him from where I'm standing with Rocko.

"Yes it will." Dad says. Megan and Dylan come running out of the house. "Hey guys. Why don't you hop in my car with Adrianna. Grandpa Kurt and Soph can ride with Don and Brad." Dad says smirking. Me and Grandpa Kurt give him a bitch face at being forced to sit with Don and Brad for the long ass car ride. Dad just smiles at us evilly. I give Rocko's lead to Dad before walking to the car door.

"Oh honey, if you're riding with us you're gonna have to have Griffy on your lap." She says passing my little brother to me. Great, so not only do I have to listen to Brad and Don for the entire car ride, I have to have Griffy as well. We all get in and the longest care journey of my entire life starts.
