Darla and Amber's Parent Trap

chapter 20

The next day came faster than anyone knew and where Meredith woke up and saw something that wasn't her husband to be. It was a bird and she screamed out once she realized she was stranded before she fell into the water. "NICKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Sounds like someone is scared." Mo said.

Domino and Patch whined, Meredith's voice was so high and screechy, it could rival dog whistles. Everyone looked out to see her in the middle of the lake.

"Oh, man..." Nick frowned once he saw Meredith before she fell into the water and sent a look to Annie and Hallie, knowing they had something to do with this.

Meredith soon stormed out of the lake and towards Nick.

"She's mad..." Darla shivered.

"Surely now Mr. Parker will see Miss Blake's not the woman for her." Amber hoped and prayed.

Meredith was so mad that she kicked the kettle out of the way as she came to the man she 'loved'.

"What's goin' on?" Nick asked.

"Here's what's going on, buddy!" Meredith scowled. "The day we get married is the day I ship those redheaded brats off to Switzerland! Get the picture? I don't care if I have to send their friends with them and lock those mutts off to a Dog Pound! It's me or them! Take your pick."

Nick looked to his daughters and then smiled. "Them."

"Excuse me?!" Meredith glared.

"T-H-E-M, them," Nick replied. "And I'd love to have the puppy with Annie be apart of our family, they seem like best friends like Hallie is with Sammy.

"I don't care about those brats or their animals, all I care about is the money!" Meredith gasped once she realized she just spilled the beans of why she was going out with him and was wanting to marry him.

"Oh, is that right?" Nick replied.

"I didn't mean that, I..." Meredith trembled.

"I may not be human, but I am disgusted..." Domino huffed as he stood by Annie's foot.

"Stay out of this, mutt." Meredith glared.

Domino glared back.

"Meredith, I'm sorry, but I chose them," Nick replied. "Get the picture?"

Meredith shook slightly and screamed at the top of her lungs. Atticus soon took a picture of Meredith screaming before texting the photo to Cherry. Mo snickered at Meredith's misery.

"I guess you need to leave now." Darla smirked to Meredith.

"Why you little brat!" Meredith glared.

"Hey, I might've been a brat, but at least I changed." Darla glared back.

Meredith growled.

"Leave my best friend alone!" Amber glared as she showed a rare sign of anger.

Nick, Atticus, Mo, Darla, Amber, Hallie, Annie, Patch, and Domino soon made their way back.

"You'd really take me in as your own?" Domino asked Nick.

"You seem to get along nicely with Annie like when I adopted Sammy for Hallie," Nick smiled down to the puppy. "Welcome to the family, Domino."

"I'm happy to be apart of the family." Domino smiled.

Patch smiled as well as his nephew was very happy right now and it made him happy. He just hoped Dottie and Dipstick wouldn't miss him too much.

"Did we really have to be punished, Dad?" Hallie asked.
