Nightmare of Nick// The Fosters

Chapter 28

Catalina's POV

"Hey! Well! If it isn't the best man, himself." Mom says as Brandon walks in

"Dad told me that he asked you."

"You know, being best man comes with a lot of responsibility."

"You're gonna have to throw him a bachelor party."

"Just don't get strippers."

"It's, like, so Neanderthal."

"And you're probably gonna have to throw an engagement party as well."

"What? I have to throw him an engagement party? "

"Really? How am I gonna do that?"

"Throwing a party's easy."

"Just pick a theme and a place, and it basically plans itself."

"Why don't we have it here?! The theme could be, like, "Second Chances." Mariana gasps

"Uh, I-I don't think that's a theme that Mike and Ana would appreciate."

"And no offense, I'm not particularly interested in throwing an engagement party for my ex-husband." Mom states

*at dinner*

"So, Jesus is exhausted."

"He's been doing testing all day."

"With his TBI, it's just a lot for him."

"So, I told him he could go ahead and keep sleeping.
I hope it's okay."

"Of course, sweetheart."

"Absolutely."

"Pass the asparagus, will ya?"

"Yeah."

"So, Callie, I understand you're taking college classes now."

"It's just, um, art class."

"Don't say 'just'."

"Don't diminish the importance of art."

"Um Mom, where's that waterfall you told me about?" Callie asks

"Um, Aaron and I are gonna take a hike tomorrow."

"Oh, Cedar Creek."

"Yeah, it should be beautiful this time of year."

"I'll give you directions after dinner."

"Thank you."

"Um, which reminds me."

"I need the car."

"No, I need the car."

"I have to work."

"Brandon you don't get first dibs because you're the oldest."

"No, I get first dibs because I'm going to work."

"Hey, Moms, we need another car."

"We can't afford another car." Mom says laughing

"The only reason we have three cars is because Grandpa Frank gave us the Prius."

"Y'all should count yourselves lucky that you have one car to share."

"Pass the asparagus, would ya?" Grandpa says again

"I, uh, I already did, Grandpa."

"It's right here."

"Oh! So you did." Grandpa chuckles

"There it is."

"And how about you, young lady? You takin' over the world now?" Grandpa asks Mariana

"I'm trying, Grandpa."

"Any boys?"

"No."

"Um, what about Logan? He's the boy who moved in next door."

"Oh?"

"Oh! Yeah, no."

"Uh, we're just friends."

"He has a girlfriend." Ouch poor Mariana

"Yeah."

"Well, when, uh I met your grandmother, she had a boyfriend."

"So, I became her friend, and then, when, uh, they broke up, she needed a shoulder to cry on. And guess who was there?" Grandpa reminisced

"And guess who Logan's mother is." Jude says

"Mom's first girlfriend." Mama teases

"She was my first crush." Mom corrects

"That was all."

"Trust me."

"My father saw to that."

"What does that mean? Oh, nothing."

"Nothing."

"Just one night, my father caught Tess and me cuddling on the couch, and, uh, so he sent me to church for 'counseling'."

"He did? That sucks."

"Well, that's a shame."

"Water under the bridge."

"This um - This is"

"Asparagus, Grandpa."

"Yeah, asparagus. This it's delicious."

Based on everything Grandpa had said so far he seems kinda off to me but I'm honestly not sure anymore.

"So, we're uh we're putting the house into a trust."

"Hmm."
"Oh?"

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Just, uh, to protect the kids. Just in case anything happens." Mom explains

"Well, that's smart."

"Thank you."

"Which, you know, got us to thinking that, uh"

"What?"

"Um, maybe later."

"So what else is going on with this big, beautiful bustling family?"

"Well Jesus is engaged." Mariana blurts out

"He's only going back to school because of this girl?"

"That's absurd!"

"Mom, we need something! Something that matters to him."

"You have something that matters to him."

"The treehouse! Maybe Jesus needs to actually do something to earn the privilege of building it."

That's actually a really good idea but I'm not sure if it'll work because you know how Jesus is.

"Like getting an education."

"Mom, if we take away that treehouse, he's only going to think we're punishing him, and then we will have a full-blown rebellion on our hands."

"I agree."

"If we use it as leverage, he's gonna hate us forever."

A/N really short chapter I'm kinda stumped on what to write so yay writers block. I also want to write a Liam Dunbar (more like Dunbaby) book but I'm not sure if I'll stick to it but maybe I will since I have so many book ideas and I don't want them to go to waste because I actually think they're really good ideas for a book. Other than that I hope you enjoy this extremely short and boring chapter~ Much love ❤️
