"Which side hurts, or is it both?"

"Mostly the right side, but the left hurts a little."

"The x-ray shows that there's two teeth on the right and one on the left that need to be removed."

"God, that seems like a lot."

"The average amount varies based on age, but for 18, a number around three is normal."

"What about 15?" Justin asks.

"1 or 2. That's not really a normal age, but it does happen."

"I should know." He mumbles.

"Did you get yours out at 15?"

"Yes, in fact, you're the one who did it."

"I did? Please, remind me of your name."

"Justin." He smirks.

"Justin Bieber?" He nods.

"Oh my, you've grown so much. You look so different."

"Well, I am 19 now. That was 4 years ago."

"I know, I know. And this is your girlfriend?"

"Fiancé."

"You know, I've seen you before." The dentist looks at me.

"On TV, I believe."

"Ellen?" I ask.

"Yes, yes. I've seen you both on Ellen. And I've seen pictures of you online. Are you famous?"

"Yeah, kind of." Justin says.

"That's amazing. Congratulations. Oh, and I saw a child in the pictures. A baby."

"That's our daughter, Jaclyn."

"She's beautiful."

"Thank you."

"Oh, hey. I almost forgot. I'm a dentist. It was nice meeting you, and it was nice seeing you again.

"You too."

"You can make an appointment at the front desk."

"Thank you." I get off the chair and Justin opens the door.

"Bye Dr. Heim." He says before we walk to the front desk.

"So I have your appointment scheduled for 10 am on Monday. Is that correct?"

"Yes."

"Take this medicine 2 hours before you come. That will give it enough time to kick in. But, it will make you a little drowsy." She gives me a bottle of pills and I look at it.

"Okay."

"That's just pain medication for before and after. Take it every 2 hours after the procedure until it's gone."

"I will do that."

"Last thing, I know it's a lot. The anesthesiologist will give you either laughing gas or numb your mouth. It's your choice."

"Oh that's nice. Can I just go to sleep?"

"You will be asleep. In addition to laughing gas or numbing. You can make your decision now or on Monday."

"I think I'll take the numbing stuff. Sounds easier."

"It is. Most people choose that." She writes some stuff down then types something into her computer.

"Alright, that's it. We will see you on Monday."

"Thank you." We walk to the car and drive back home.

"So, how many teeth did you get taken out?" I ask Justin when we walk inside.

"2."

"That sucks. You were only 15."

"I agree. But, since you're a grown adult, you'll take it better won't you?"

"Not at all."

"I understand that."

"We're playing hide and seek! I can't find Jaxon." Jazmyn says.

"That's unfortunate." Justin says.

"Play with us!" She says.

"I'm not sure I want to." Justin says.

"Please? It's only the two of us and it gets boring." She begs.

"Fine." Justin sighs.

"Jax, Justin and Ari are playing! You can come out now."

"He's not gonna believe you. I know where he is, anyways." Justin walks upstairs and comes back a few seconds later with Jax.

"Where were you?" Jazmyn says.

"On the top shelf in my closet." Jax smirks.

"I didn't even look up there."

"You came in there and skipped right past me. You barely even came in the closet."

"I know."

"I wanna seek!" Jax says.

"Have fun with that." Jaxon turns around and starts counting.

"Wait, what are you counting to?"

"30." He says, then continues counting.

Justin grabs my hand and pulls me to the downstairs bathroom.

"You can fit under the sink."

"And where are you gonna be?"

"Under the sink."

"Are you sure there's enough room for that?"

"Have you been under the sink?"

"No." He opens the cabinet door and I look inside.

There is definitely a lot of space. I climb in first and Justin gets in behind me then closes the door.

"Ready or not, here I come!" Jaxon screams.

We hear his footsteps on the stairs and a few minutes later, Jazmyn groans very loudly.

"We're never gonna find them! Justin's lived here way longer than us." She says as they come down the stairs.

We hear their muffled voices in the other rooms and I lean against Justin's chest. They get closer to the bathroom and Justin covers my mouth with his hand as a smile forms on my face.

"They have to be in here. There's nowhere else." Jax says.

"We didn't check the basement. Or their room. Or Jaclyn's room." Jazmyn tells him.

"Fine. You go upstairs and I'll go to the basement." They leave the bathroom and Justin shakes his head.

"I always tell them this cabinet is locked so they never look in here." He whispers.

"I feel like that's cheating in some way."

"Who cares? They don't find us and we can go do whatever we want. As long as we stay quiet and don't get caught."

"So basically not whatever we want."

"Shut up and get out of here. My legs are starting to hurt." I push the cabinets open and we both get out.

"They'll give up eventually." We sit behind the stairs until we hear the TV come on in the living room.

"Alright. Let's go claim our victory." We walk into the living room and stand in the doorway.

"I see you gave up." Justin chuckles.

They both turn around and their eyes widen.

"Where were you? We checked everywhere."

"Somewhere you would never guess. So don't even try."
