Might as Well Face it, You're Addicted to Love (Joe Perry/Nikki Sixx)

Chapter 129: Josephine's Day Out Part 2 (Josephine Nicole Perry)

This has been the best day ever! And I can't wait to tell Amara, Frankie, Tony & James about it. I just wanna share & make them feel like they were with me, momma & daddy. As daddy would say, 'Making memories that last forever, sharing a part of you with the ones you love.' But oh, the museum! So much to see, lots of ideas, it was like a wonderland as momma would say. And this is such a special day, and it makes me feel special. And I feel lots of love.... And I for the first time got to try Cioppino which daddy said is basically a soup with lots of seafood & there was crusty bread & I loved it.... I love trying new foods, I wonder if daddy will make it at home.

But now, now we've just gotten to art store daddy wanted to take me & momma too & WOW....

My eyes get big & my jaw drops & I look up to momma & daddy and say, "This like Disneyland! No, it's better than Disneyland!"

Momma smiles sharing a look with daddy, "Better not let your little sister hear that, she's crazy about Disneyland." Momma chuckles with daddy & I giggle too, we all are so very happy.

"She is..." Daddy agrees with momma, "What do you think of this place Nikki?"

"Joe, I think it's awesome......thank you babe, so much. I love you."

"I love you too, more than you could ever know."

"Joe..." Momma & daddy kiss.

I love seeing them in love, they are so good together that's what everyone always says, and momma & daddy are soulmates. I wonder if I will find one when I grow up?

"Josephine? I can see how much you love it, and if I am right.... you love seeing your ma & I be so in love." Daddy is right...

I hug him now; I hug momma too. Daddy says you don't always need words....

There's lots to see, I don't know where to start! So, we 'go with the flow' as momma says a lot and looks at lots of pretty & neat things. I even found a basket to put my stuff in! Mommy he helps me find the best pencils, markers, papers, sparkly stuff.... I will tell him things I want. Mommy gets him stuff too, even fabric which momma says he wants to make stuff for me & daddy & brother's & sisters too of course.

Daddy makes sure momma & are a safe as we get things...he smiles, he laughs......i do too & then we find.... What momma he says are mini-canvases for paint.

"Hmm.... I have enough of these at home...." Momma winks at daddy, who grins...we have the same grin. "Would you like some of these Josephine & some paint too? I remember you saying you wanted to paint on some, just like me." The last part momma looks happy, but I see the tears cause I know it means a lot to him.

"But momma, you & daddy already got me lots....and I know this special time....and..." It's enough, I think that right word.... but it's enough just to do something I love & I know momma loves...and daddy too, because he'd also do anything to make me happy....to make everyone happy. I just don't.... lots of trouble to go to for me...

"Before you say, we shouldn't go to so much trouble.... its NO trouble because its what you LOVE, its for you....and for your ma."

"Did you take 'alien' lessons from Uncle Mick daddy?"

Momma laughs, Daddy does too....

"I have, but your ma has taken more lessons than I have."

"Thank you, daddy. I feel better." I whisper.

"You are more than welcome sweet bee." He whispers back.

I wish we could stay forever in the store, but we will come back Daddy promises & I know he will keep that promise. Daddy pays for everything & then we leave....and I ask, if we can go get stuffed toys for the babies & Figs for Amara....and so we get them.

Time goes by fast, soon we home.... I get stuff 'organized' as mommy & Daddy say, Amara, Frankie, James & Tony are back, and Daddy works with Mommy to fix dinner while I tell my brothers & sisters all about my day.... cause I want them to feel like they were there....

To feel the happy, to feel the love......cause we family.

"Oh, there was lots to see! I got so many things I wanna make.... Lots of ideas! And daddy said when you get old enough you can go too! It was like Disney land!"

The babies make happy noises & Amara say......

"Oooh diney (Disney).... tank ew sissy, momma Tay (say) ew get figs an' toys for babies."

"Thank momma & Daddy too, I thought it be nice to do something for the best sisters & brothers in the world!" I feel what momma would say is 'emotional', I feel tears.... but I don't feel sad. Mommas say & Daddy too.... They always say, it's the love you feel, the bond & I know they are right.

I feel arms around me, covered with tattoos which I think are pretty.... these arms belong to: Momma. I look up into his eyes, the same eyes as mine....as he wipes away my tears gently.

"Its so sweet of you to tell your siblings to thank us, you are such an amazing person & big sister. It just goes to show how thoughtful & kind you are; your daddy & I are raising you, your sisters & brothers, right. There was a time when neither of us thought we'd be parents, that we'd wanna be or that when it happened, we would be good parents.... But here we are with five of the most precious, extraordinary children. Guess what I am trying to tell you is.... I know JUST how you feel. You feel so much love for them Josephine, for us all & that is amazing. All five of you are a dream come true for daddy & I, remember that always.

"Always momma." I whisper. "I love you."

"I love you too honey."

"And I love you too sweetheart, it means so much that you love your siblings so much & that you had an amazing day. And mommy is very much right, so right..." Daddy says, he & mommy share a look.... a look that says lots, that says love most of all.

We spend more time together, we talk.... momma & daddy fix dinner, I tell my brothers & sisters about my day. Amara asks lots of questions too......Dinner is so tasty! I make sure to thank my parents a lot and I help with dishes.

After dinner, I tell daddy I wanna play guitar and I do.... i get lost in good ways....and then its bath time, and then I want quiet time before bed & I wanna make stuff with my new art things....

Everyone needs quiet time, time to self.... but I am not alone, I am NEVER alone. There is nothing wrong with taking time as daddy always tells me and that is part of why we are in Boston. I wish we didn't have to ever leave, but we come back I feel. I do miss our LA house.... but today, today was one of the best days ever! It meant lots of mommy & Daddy doing something that I like...no love. They always spend time with me, with Amara & the babies.... stuff each of us like.

My heart knows, as I draw....as I make new things.... i put my heart in it, like daddy said he does with everything like playing guitar, Aerosmith....and most of all: FAMILY.

I don't know what time it is, until I hear knocks at the door & Momma & Daddy come in....and suddenly I feel sleepy as I stop.

"Sweetheart it is getting late; it's time for bed." Daddy.

"But daddy...." I yawn.

"You're just like momma & I, when we get into something we don't wanna stop. We know honey, but you need sleep, ok?"

"Ok daddy...."

I feel Daddy hold me and put me in bed.... He & mommy sat on my bed, both kissing my forehead. I feel so warm, safe and loved.... I love this feeling.

"We love you Josephine, and don't worry Amara, Tony, James & Frankie are asleep....and honey, it means so much to us that you had the best day. Remember to think of all the good things, the things you love & know that if you need us we will come running." Mommy.

I will remember mommy.... i promise.... I will remember, goodnight & I love everyone lots.
