Soldier's Son

(12) Flight 101 England bound

Riley was right about having an early flight to England, so once she got back to the house we all finished packing.

Mingus kept Gunner occupied with his Xbox where he was playing (The Walking dead Survival Instincts) with Chandler who was a state below us.

Once everything was packed up and ready, we headed to the City Cafe' and had lunch/dinner with the gang till it was time to go back home so everyone could get rested.

***9:00***

30 minutes past Gunner's bedtime and he was still wired as if Mingus or Riley had slipped him some of their special coffee.

"Alright Bubbie, time for B&B." I said as Richard and Norman both looked at me like I was crazy.

"Bath & Bed." Riley whispered to Norman, making sure Gunner didn't hear her...but Gunner wasn't stupid, he knew what she meant.

"But mommmm I still want to play with Mingus." Gunner pouted.

" We will play more tomorrow, we're going to spend a few days together." Mingus said in which made Gunner smile..

"Ok..." Gunner said sighing since he didn't want to go to bed.

"I'll let you have the special bath treatment." Riley said as Gunner stopped sighing and jumped around.

"Ri-Ri, can Mingus have the special bath treatment?" Gunner asked looking from Riley to Mingus.

"Ummm, I'm sure I can make it for him if he wants it." Riley said.

"Hey hold the phone..." Norman said looking at Riley. "What's the special bath treatment?" He asked as Gunner ran over to him and whispered in his ear. "Hey I want one of those." He added as Richard and I laughed as Riley raised her brow at him.

"You have to ask Gunner if I can do it...it's his thing." Riley said as Norman turned to Gunner.

"He can have one too if he wants...but if he gets one then he has to go to bed too." Gunner said making Norman laugh.

"I'm pretty sure I will be doing that pretty soon...so I don't look like a Walker in the morning." Norman said as Gunner nodded.

"Now come on so we can get started." Riley said as Gunner took her hand into his and they walked upstairs to his new room.

I watched as both Norman and Mingus watched her back the whole time s they disappeared..Then Mingus turned to look at us and I already knew what he was going to ask.

"It's a bubble bath...but Gunner likes when Riley makes him special when she puts the word 'Special' in front of things." I said getting up and heading to the kitchen and sat down at the counter.

"I haven't had a bubble bath in ages." Mingus said as he took a sip of his hot coco coffee as if he needed anymore coffee, but at least he wasn't putting Red Bull in the damn thing.

"Well, your than welcome to have one...hell I have Riley make mine when I want one, she does them perfect..Mostly she does them at bedtime though...and it does the trick when you have to go to bed." I said as we looked up at the ceiling and smiled when we heard the Sponge-bob theme song.

"So what is the trick about her art of bubble bath making?" Richard asked as he took a sip of his coffee.

I'll tell you, but then I'll have to kill you..But she lights about six candles, lights lavender vanilla in scents...it knocks your dick in the dirt." I said we all laughed..

"Sounds good to me...well everything except for the 'knocking your dick in the dirt' part." Norman said as we heard water splashing upstairs.

"ELISE!!!" Riley screamed.."GUNNER!!COME ON BABY!!!ELISE!!!" She cried.
