Growing up 🧸

3 🧸

The kids are like 10/11 by this point btw!!

Everyone was at Anne maria and lightnings house for a small celebration, Lindsay had made the front cover of a modelling magazine so they decided a barbecue with everyone would be a nice way to celebrate!

Zoey and Dakota were trying to get sticks out of chase's hair as Julia thought it would be funny to see how many she could put in. Julia was giggling but soon stopped at her mothers scolding looks. "Julia, I hope your planning on apologising to chase." Dakota scolded her daughter.

"It's okay, chase is a little runt he probably started it." Heather commented, walking over with her hands on her hips. "Mom!" Chase groaned, not appreciating the insult.

Zoey took a quick skim around, noting some people were missing. "Hey, where's Mk and zee?" She asked. "They went into bowies room to play video games!" Chase tattled as julia punched his arm, "ow!" He groaned, rubbing his arms. "Snitches get stitches!" Julia yelled in her defence.

"On a nice summer day like this? Noah! Tyler! Your kids are lounging inside go get them!" Heather yelled at the two men who rolled their eyes and went to get the two kids. Tyler had it easy, zee just followed him out, Mk was a bit more difficult.

"NO! I HATE IT OUTSIDE!" They all heard her scream from inside and began listening in. "MARY KATE OLIVIA CARTER GET OUT HERE THIS MINUTE!" Noah screamed back.

It ended in Mk throwing a tantrum while Noah dragged her out by her beanie. "Mk your 10 years old, stop this!" Noah yelled as he pushed her forward and she glared at him, before aggressively stepping on his foot.

"OW! GO PLAY OUTSIDE YOU LITTLE MENACE!" Noah yelled as he pushed her forward. "IM CALLING CPS!" She yelled back, and as she tried to begin searching her pockets for her phone, she realised it was gone. "What?! WHERE THE FUCK IS MY PHONE?!" She screeched, making some people cover their ears. "MK LANGUAGE!" Emma scolded.

Noah smugly smiled and dangled her phone in the air "looking for this? I checked your screen time, and I have to ask, how is your screentime 68 hours in a 24 hour day!?" He asked, sounding slightly amazed. "I have tactics, anyway give it back!" She yelled, but Noah just walked away with it in his pocket.

Mk pouted and sat on the porch swing moodily. Emma sighed and turned to Courtney and izzy. "Im worried about her, why does she never come outside? You don't think she's being bullied do you?!" Emma panicked as izzy laughed. "Oh from what I've seen, Mk is the bully!" She noted, making Emma groan. "It's a phase, axel hated everyone for a bit, now look at her! She's best friends with ripper!..izzy where is ripper?" Courtney pondered as izzy laughed. "He's depressed because we told him what he was named after." For all those who forgot, rippers named after a fart.

"Axel! Go drag rippers ass here! And bring Bowie I don't trust you alone!" Courtney ordered as axel groaned and left with Bowie. They all lived quite close, it was only a 3 minute walk to Izzy and Owens house.

As Mk pouted Julia came and joined her on the porch swing. "So.." she awkwardly begun, as Mk still had a grumpy look on her face. "..wanna go stick ice in calebs pants?" Julia proposed as mks face lit up, snd they both excitedly ran to get ice. Sam noticed and tried to stop her, but to no avail. "Julia no!- Julia! JULIA MILTON!-....to late! Sorry Caleb!" The man apologised as Caleb jumped and squirmed around due to having a cold butt.

"JULIA YOU BITCH!" The boy screamed as his mother, Sadie, came over and wacked him across the head. "LANGUAGE! YOU DONT CALL WOMEN BITCHES! I SHOULD WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT WITH SOAP YOUNG MAN!" She loudly scolded as Gwen chuckled and leaned down to mk. "Between us two, me and Courtney used to do that to Tyler and Harold when we were kids.." she admitted as the two chuckled.

Over on the table where everyone sat, Bridgette was just trying to have a nice day when Wayne came over holding a dead looking Emma. "Mom! Somethings wrong with Emmy.." he told her panicked as Emma groaned. Bridgette sighed and had a look at her, instantly noticing the bulging eye bags on her face. "Oh dear lord..Emma! When's the last time you slept?"  She asked as Emma weakly answered "like..3 days ago.." as she groaned in pain Harold sighed and looked at Nichelle, who was laying on the porch swing trying her best to stay awake. "I think we found the root of the problem.." he pointed out as leshawna furrowed her brows.

"Nichelle! Get over here little missy!" Nichelle didn't move, only groaning. So as Duncan walked past her, leshawna yelled "Duncan bring me my daughter!" She ordered as he gave her an annoyed face "but I'm holding the hot dogs!" He rebutted as leshawna screeched "I DONT CARE ABOUT MICROWAVE HOT DOGS YOU PUNK! GET NICHELLES ASS OVER HERE!" She ordered as Duncan groaned and juggled one hand with hot dogs and the other with nichelle.

As nichelle was placed on a chair, her and Emma both received death glares from their parents. "Now girls, PLEASE tell me your not doing another stupid 'who can stay awake?' challenge!" The girls both looked at each other guiltily before Bridgette sighed "hey Annie! Am I good to let these two sleep somewhere?" Bridgette called out, using their nickname for Anne Maria. "Yeah go on doll!" She obliged as Bridgette led the two tired girls inside and they finally fell asleep on lightning and Anne Maria's couch.

"We were never that weird when we were kids.." Katie commented as Heather gave her a deadpan expression. "Didn't you and Duncan try and feed mike to a giraffe when we went in that safari thing?" Heather remembered as Katie chuckled. "Yeah..we did..but now we have Raj so that stuff has to remain private, don't want him taking influence." She said as heather laughed.

"To late, last week they all put themselves in a weird formation and made a human catapult. Poor Priya got launched! But you know what? They're lucky that they've all got each other. So let them mess up, let them be kids. They'll have great memories.." heather smiled as she gazed at her son. Even for as cruel and mean as heather was, seeing her son have fun just made her smile.
