Sing Johnny (Reposted)

Chapter 45:

Johnny hoisted Josie to his chest after parking the car and getting out. He had to cut his day short, due to Josie being the daddy's girl she was. He stepped inside the house before Jack cane running to him "Dad! Mama says she's gonna put me in school!" Jack stated as Johnny ruffled his hair. "Well you are getting so big" Johnny quoted before getting a look from his wife.
" It wouldn't of killed you to let me know you were taking Josie... Would it?" She quickly spoke as Johnny swallowed. She took Josie from his arms before gesturing to him that his dinner was ready. Jack had showed him his papers that he did at day care. He had wrote the whole alphabet and his name.

Kali came down with a damp but clean Josie. She sat in the couch before looking at Jack. "Do you want to tell your father when you start school" Kali stated as Jack nodded. "Mama said I can start tomorrow. " Jack stated as Johnny stared at her "tomorrow? Isn't that... Early?" Johnny questioned as he watched his wife laugh. "I checked out the school with my father. Everything is fine. Anyways he already got to meet his teacher and he is excited to meet his school mates"

Johnny sat there, he rubbed his face before smiling at Jack. He knew he was bright, but he worried about how kids would treat him if they knew who his father was. "Well Jack. I'm sure tour going to make new friends in no time!" He cracked a smile before walking into the kitchen and getting himself a drink. His son was going to school. It seemed like time was going to fast. Jack was getting older... Hell he was getting older. His daughter was causing as much trouble as she could, but wrapping those around her tiny little thumb. Johnny found himself wondering about his wife. How was she doing.

"So... If he is going to school tomorrow and Josie is going to daycare... Then what are you doing?" He questioned. He wanted to know cause in all honesty he wanted to spend time with her.

"Oh I don't know yet. I was thinking about shopping. Jack needs more school stuff. And since there is a sale going in I might as well stock up. That way I won't have to shop next year. I mean... Did you need something or have something in mind?"

Johnny thought before shaking his head. "Actually no. I was hoping maybe I could go shopping with you? No need for you to pick out and carry everything. Anyways. I figured we could stop at that new restaurant if you want"

He watched her for a second. She seemed to tease him with her slow response. "Well... Okay. If you really want" she smiled before putting Josie on the ground. "But you know how it's going to go. Like it always goes" she laughed lightly before looking around the kitchen.

Johnny nodded. He would remember how it used to be when he only worked at the theater. The freedom he had compared to know. He was able to walk around as a average person in the street, now he was famous. His wife had her life planned out but seemed to stop everything for him and his dreams. He ever wondered if she had dreams if her own.

Eventually the night fell. Both kids were set into bed. Johnny knew his wife well, she would be folding laundry at this time, but thanks to the help her father hired, she had more time for herself.

"So... Do you want to do anything specific tomorrow?" Kali questioned to him as he pulled some laundry and tarting folding it. "Maybe... But I'll see how our day goes" he looked at her, giving her a wide smile before helping finish up the laundry. Tomorrow was going to be a busy day and he hoped it would go well.. he didn't want any problems.

After finishing the laundry, Johnny found himself having to coax his wife to bed, much to her distaste. He promised he would have a cleaner come clean the floors and dust, so she could have a little time to herself. Kali was greatful, saying she would appreciate the new help. Johnny also found himself suggesting to hang out with meena and Rosita and take time to herself. She needed the freedom and Johnny founding himself wanting to give it to her. He also wanted to give a job to someone who needed it. Now that he had money to spend, he didn't find it hard wanting to offer a job to someone and paying for their services.

For now, Johnny closed his eyes. He didn't know what the next day wouldn't bring, but he hoped it would be easier then being out in the studio. Within seconds sleep took him over.
