Modern Way of Family

Baby's, love and other problems

„Good morning, Honey.", welcomed Claire her husband and handed him a cup of coffee. „Good morning, Darling.", Phil took the coffee out of Claire's hand. „And of course good morning Alex and Haley.", he said. „Good morning Dad.", Alex and Haley said at the same time. „Oh my god!", shouted Haley frightened. „Never do this again!", she looked at her little sister. „You neither.", agreed Alex and turned her glasses. „Isn't it a beautiful day?", smiled Phil and drank a sip of his coffee. „Yeah, I think so.", agreed Claire. „How much time do you have until you have to go to the showing?", she asked Phil. He looked at his watch and said: „Oh, I have still enough time. The showing is just two streets away from here." „Luke!", screamed Claire. „Come down! You have to eat something, before you go to school!"
„Honey, I'll manage it.", reassured Phil his wife. „Just sit down and enjoy your bread.", he pointed to the free seat between Alex and Haley. „Oh. Thank you.", she replied. Phil goes to the stairs and leaned on it. „Luke!", he said loudly. „Come down, you and I know how much you love pancakes and..", he finished his sentence earlier, because he saw Luke running down the stairs. Phil knocked his son on the right shoulder and said. „I knew you would listen to your father.", he said proudly. „Where are my pancakes?", Luke asked greedy, as he came into the kitchen.
„Ohh. Did I say pancakes?", Phil asked thoughtfully. „I meant mandrakes. You must have misheard me, Luke.", he said compassionate. „Why should I come down, if there's a mandrake?", Luke asked a little bit confused.
„Because you're Luke?", answered Alex sarcastic. „Whatever.", Luke said finally. „Can I get a bread or something else?", he asked hungry. Claire wanted to stand up, but Phil said sensitive: „Stay sitting, Sweetheart. I'll manage this too." Claire just nod and remained sitting. Phil took the bread from the toaster and put it on the plate in front of Luke. „Here you go.", he said happily. Luke thanked his Father and bite into his bread.
„Oh my God.", Haley looked at the kitchen clock. „I have to go, otherwise I'll come to late.", she jumped hastily from her seat up.
„Wow.", groaned Claire.
„That I still can experience this.", laughed Alex.
„Hey, don't be so mean.", Claire said seriously. „But you're right. I think she really likes her new job.", agreed Claire.

Haley had a new job in a clothing business for upscale people, where she advise the customers and sell the clothing. Sometimes after but mostly before she goes to work, she even goes to community college, to brighten up her Graduation. Alex is just a few weeks away from going to Princeston and she's very excited. And Luke, Luke does what Luke does best; nothing really important.

A few minutes after Haley goes to work, Alex and Luke went to school and let their parents alone at home.
„Can you imagine, that this will be the sound we'll here in a few years, after Alex goes to College, Haley had her own apartment and Luke.. I don't know Luke does what Luke does?", Claire asked Phil euphoric.
„But I hear nothing?", Phil said confused.
„Ahhh.", he said finally.
„Yes. Ahhh.", Claire imitated her husband.
„Just a few years and I don't need clothes anymore in my house.", raved Phil.
„Well, we can talk about this later.", Claire said carefully. „I need to hurry up. I have a doctor appointment in..", she looked at the clock. „In twenty minutes.", she said fast.
Claire stands up from her seat and gave Phil a kiss to the cheek.
„See you later, alligator.", adopted Phil his wife.
After Claire was gone, Phil clear up the table and shift up the dish into the dishwasher. „Such a beautiful day.", he said to himself.

„Ocultar temas, en serio? No!", Gloria was calling with her mother in Columbia and speaks very loudly, but with a really sexy accent.
„What did she say?", Jay asked his stepson Manny.
„I don't know. I had French lessons last year. I thought you had a Spanish teacher?", Manny asked Jay back.
„Only for two weeks. Spanish was so confusing to me. They scream every time, even if they ask how you are.", Jay replied and drank a sip of his Cappuccino. Manny was holding his coffee in his hands and said: „I understand you." Gloria hang up and asked: „Should I drive you to school, Manny?"
„No.", Manny answered. „But thank you, Mom."
Manny was wearing a black suit and a marine blue hat with a feather.
„Hey, where's Jay gone?", he asked, as he noticed that Jay was no longer sitting next to him on the counter.
„I don't know.", shouted Gloria with a Spanish accent. „He's old, maybe he needs to change his nappy.", she laughed.
Manny was sitting on a stool at the counter and his mother Gloria was preparing the breakfast for her two year old baby Joe. She was wearing a tight wine red dress and high heels - her favorite shoes. She can't understand women, who were wearing sneaker or other flat shoes. Gloria dress to impress.
The babyphone shone red and an annoying sound came out of it - it was Joe, who cried.
„I'm on the way, baby Joe.", she said like Joe could understand her.
„Ohh.", cursed Manny. He had intentionally spilled his coffee. Than of course he knew where Jay was gone. Jay had a plan to surprise Gloria and Manny's only task was to take care of Gloria, because she was not allowed to leave the kitchen.
„Ohh Manny. Take care!", Gloria said sensitive. „I'll do it.", she took a rag out of this kitchen, when she saw Jay in a beautiful suit. „What a rare sight.", she said impressed and surprised.
„Gloria.", Jay began. „Can you remember how I made you a proposal?", he comes closer to Gloria. „Of course I do.", she said irritated. She imitated the voice of Jay and said: „Manny! Give me this thing! And he gave you the ring. How could I forgot such an emotional and heartbreaking moment?", ironic spoke out of her voice.
„Well, I think you can forget this moment.", Jay went on his knees.
„Manny? Can you please give me ring?", Jay asked friendly. „Here you are.", squeaked Manny excited.
Jay thanked Manny and looked at Gloria.
„A love so deep, nothing else like it.
Scars go deep, but they can't find it.
Flame so bright make the daylight look dark.
Cross my heart, that I'll die for you.
Cross my heart, that I'll always keep you. Cross my heart, that I'll always love you. Will you marry me, again?", Jay asked with a heart full of love.
„Aren't this the lyrics from..", Manny began to ask, but Gloria interrupted him. „Of course I will!", she screamed happily. Jay stand up and hugged his already-wife. „I love you soooo much.", Gloria kissed Jay a hundred times. „This is the most beautiful thing you've ever done for me.", she kissed him again on the mouth.
„Urgh.", Manny said disgusted. „You already had breakfast, Mom. I'll get Joe his food.", he took the bowl and goes to the stairs.
„We pretend, that this not belong to this wonderful gesture.", Gloria said seriously. Jay agreed and nudded.
„I am the most happiest woman today.", Gloria screamed. „Te quiero", Jay said. „Ayyy.", Gloria hugged Jay extremely.
