Growing up with Rourtney (sequel to Adopted by Rourtney)

Talking It Through

*Courtney's POV*

"Eat your chocolate moose pudding, your lips are numb cause they took out the teeth so you can't eat anything hard" I tell Juliet, who for the past ten minutes has claimed they've taken her lips and drew some lips on her face. She's still under the anaesthetic so she's a bit loopy. I've been filming the car ride to play to Ross when we get home also to play to Juliet when she watches this back when she's normal again.

"A MOOSE!" She says. "A real moose? They killed a moose for pudding" she starts to cry. I can't help but laugh.

"No, not a real one" I chuckle.

"They are complaining about endangered animals and they're killing moose for chocolate pudding" She keeps crying.

"It's not the animal" I chuckle.

"You're just saying that! What's next, butter is made of buttercups! Oh My God, they are" She keeps crying. "We're destroying nature"

She's gonna have so fun watching this back.

--Ross' POV--

"Pretty good, but take me from the left not the right" I instruct Romeo. He nods and skates back to his goal. I start skating towards him with the puck and he does what I tell him but falls over. I sigh and skate over to him. "You didn't even takle me, you gotta tackle" I tell him as I crouch down. He sits up from being face down on the ice.

"I'm never going to be good at this" he sighs.

"You're just having trouble learning, that's all" I give him somewhat of a confidence boost.

"This is why I'm always on the bench and never used in school games. I try but I can't do it. I always fall over and I can't even tackle" He sighs. "I give up"

"Don't give up, I'm helping you learn, I'll coach you and real soon you'll be the captain of the ice hockey team. I promise" I help him up.

"I can't do it" He sighs in defeat.

"You can, just as you come towards me use the stick to swipe the puck from me" I guide him. He nods not in the mood to try again. "Go" I say. We try again and he does it. He smiles widely.

"I did it" He says not believing it happened.

"You sure did" I skate to him, proudly, wrapping him in a hug. "Think you can do it again then move onto the next challenge?" I propose with a playful smirk.

"Bring it on, Dad" he smiles. He's a cute kid. I love him so much. After teaching him a little more we get changed back into our normal clothes.

"You're really improving" I smile.

"Thanks" he blushes. "Dad, when you play ice hockey you are literally Disney on ice" he giggles.

"Okay" I chuckle at his pun. "Romeo, you're a special kid, don't let anything get in the way of what you want to achieve. You can do a lot of things other's can't. You can do many things with practice. The things you can't do you should try to work at but it's also okay if you can't do things" I kiss his forehead.

"I love you so much" he hugs me tightly.

"I love you too" I reply and hold him close. "Let's go home, your aunt is probably making your siblings cause a big mess so we best pick them up on the way" I chuckle. He smiles and we grab our things then leave.

"Dad?" He asks after quite a while of silence in the car.

"Yeah?" I reply with a smile.

"Can you help me with my homework when we get in?" He asks.
