Rebecca in the Middle: A Malcolm in the Middle Love Story

Chapter 7: Sleepover

I saw the photographer, take pictures of a different family. I say that because mom got a discount coupon for our family picture to get taken. Also, because it's my first family photo with my adoptive family who took me under their wings. Don't I have the greatest family or what?

"Move!!" Yelled Malcolm to Reese. "Shut up." Argued back, Reese.

Ok maybe, I don't have the best family ever, but they sure are worth it to me no matter what.

"Stop touching me." Said Malcolm to Reese. "I wasn't touching you, I was clipping on my tie." Said Reese. "While you were touching me." Argued, Malcolm.

"Stop it!!" Yelled mom. "Why do we have to do this?" Whined, Reese. "Because, we don't have a single picture of all of us together, that's ridiculous. We're a family, we should have a family portrait, and it's Becky's first picture of being part of our family." Replied, mom.

"Well, Francis isn't here." Said, Malcolm. "Well, I'm not going to cough up 200 bucks to fly him in for one silly picture." Sarcastically, mom. "Where's Becky and Dewey?" Malcolm and Reese just shrugged. Mom saw Dewey take a picture with a wrong family.

"Dewey, get out of there. That's not your family." Concernly, mom. "You sure you want autumn leaves as your background?" Asked dad to mom. "Yes." Nodded, mom. Then she walked away. "Couldn't we have tropical winds, it's more colorful." Said dad, to himself.

"Mom's right, where is Becky?" Asked Reese. "Don't know." Said Malcolm. Reese's jaw dropped. "Reese?" Asked Malcolm. Reese's jaw is still dropped. "Reese?!?" Panicked, Malcolm. He was waving his hand in Reese's face. "Becky????" Happily, Reese. "What?" Questioned, Malcolm.

"Just look." Said Reese. Malcolm saw and his jaw dropped also. I came in with my black and pastel scallop dress, with hoop earrings, sophisticated shoes, and good accesories. Along, with my hair in wavy curls. "Hi guys, ready to get our picture taken?" I said, happily. "Now, we are." Happily, Reese. "You look more gorgeous than ever."

"Thanks Reese, that's really sweet." I smiled. He smiled back. "He's right, you look really great, Becky." Said Malcolm. "Thanks, Malc." I said. "Now, where's Dewey?" I asked. "He's sitting down." Said Reese. He pointed to where Dewey was at. "Hi, Dewey!!" I said, happily. I walked over to Dewey.

"Man, our step-sister's hot." Said Malcolm. "No, she's more than that. She's smart, gorgeous, witty, talented, perfect, honest, and beautiful." Argued, Reese. "Ok, we get it. Gosh, Reese." Annoyed, Malcolm.

I saw that mom was arguing with the photographer, for the discount coupon. "Hmm, I hope it's alright with mom's problem." I said to Dewey. "It's really no big deal, I say that because mom is trying to let us have a perfect family picture not a silly ridiculous one we usually have." Said Dewey.

"Really? You guys never ever had a perfect family portrait." I said. "Yep. Not even once." Said Dewey. "Wow. Can you imagine trying to get our family a perfect picture for the first time with me around for being part of this family?" I asked. "I don't know, we may never know." Said Dewey. I nodded in agreement.

I walked over to visit Malcolm and Reese. "Hey guys, what's going on?" I asked. "Nothing much, really. I brought a picture of Francis, he's gonna be in the portrait." Said, Malcolm. "Cool, I'll hold it." Said Reese.

"No, I'm gonna hold it." Argued, Malcolm. "Let go." Said Reese. "Guys, not now. We are getting a picture for Pete's sake." I said, face palming myself. "Stay out of this, Becky!" Shouted, the both of them. I just sighed.

"Dewey, pants on mister!!" Demanded, mom. "I'm sorry, but your coupon has been expired." Said, the photographer. "What??" Confused, mom. "It's been expired, what you want now is $39.50." Said, the photographer. "Ooh, lonely beach theme. Aren't we a lonely beach family?" Happily dad, while moving the scenery curtain to a beach theme.
