He Who Conquers Others Is Strong, He Who Conquers Himself Is Mighty

The Shower Part I

READER'S POV

Penny was out with Allie. She took her heavily pregnant sister in law out to their favourite salon to get their nails done. Not that Penny really cared right now, all she wanted was someone to rub her swollen feet and ankles. Julian was dedicated to doing whatever she wanted, but deep down she knew he was only doing that to keep her from hormonally turning on him. Either way, she was out of the house, out of the way and out of Julian and Danny's hair as they prepared for her Baby shower that was happening imminently. 

"Nick should be getting to the airport right about now" Danny said as he glanced as his watch, taking a brief few seconds out from the chaos that was filling his mind as he bumbled about the Edelman household. "Is he picking up Jules' mom and Nicki?" Rob looked over at his team mate wide eyed. Danny looked back at him and opened his mouth to speak when the front door opened. 

"Can someone give me a hand?!" Jamie barked from behind the boxes she was carrying. Rob darted over, taking Clay's lead out of her hand. "Gee, thanks Gronk" She scoffed as she continued to struggle with the boxes piled high in her arms. "could you put those in the kitchen please Jame?" Danny asked her, distracted by ticking off items on his 'to do' list. "cheers babe" he added, making Jamie roll her eyes as she struggled into the kitchen to put down the food containers. 

"fuck Dola, how long were you up last night doin all this?!" Rob exclaimed as he joined Jamie in the kitchen. "1am..." Jamie muttered, giving him a sideward glance. Rob's eyes shot skyward as he shook his head. "ROB!" Danny's voice echoed through the house, making him sigh for about the millionth time this morning, and it was only 11am. "man, I know he's in recovery, but Jesus I could beat his ass down right now" he grumbled to Jamie, leaving her sniggering at him as she watched him walk away to find out whatever the hell Danny wanted him to do this time.

"Over to the left...no, that's too far. Yep, um, no, maybe a little bit over a little more..."
"God Damn it Dola!" Gronk yelled in frustration. Jamie bit her lip, attempting to hold back the giggles that were threatening to spill from her mouth, as she leaned against the wall watching the guys bicker. "I can't do it myself!" Danny whined as he stood looking up at the banner he was directing Rob with. "should you be standing on that?" Jamie asked nodding to the coffee table her boyfriend was standing on. Danny turned around to look at her with a frown, "someone needs to give him direction" He snapped a little, referring her to Rob. Who, was still holding the banner up against the wall, but glared at him and flipped up his middle finger behind Danny's back. Jamie snorted at his childish gesture, before settling her eyes back onto her boyfriend. "Jules will go crazy if he catches you-

"Damn right I'll go crazy! Get off my coffee table Dola!!" Jules interrupted with a growl. Jamie and Danny both startled and looked around to the door, to find Julian stood frowning at them. "Ah! you brought the candy!" Danny's face lit up, completely ignoring his friends death glare. He took a minute to climb down off the coffee table and ambled over to Julian and the large brown box he was carrying. 

"I'll put it on the counter" he said, swiping the box away from Danny's grasp, knowing he shouldn't be taking the weight. Danny huffed but was hot on his heels as he practically chased him into the kitchen. "Is that all you brought Jules?" Danny asked, rifling through the box. Julian rolled his eyes, "relax dude, Tommy's bringing the rest in from the car" he shook his head, grabbing  a pack of twizzlers from the box. "it's a good job this is a one off, we're eating my profits here!" he grumbled as he turned away, ripping open the pack. 

"Daddy!!" loud giggles filled the house as the door opened. Tom came bounding in with Vivi clinging onto his back, laughing loudly. "Uncle Jules! Uncle Danny! Gronky!" she squealed with delight as they moved further into the house. "Hey Vivi!" Rob yelled just as happily, as he still struggled with the banner. The little girl dropped from her daddy's back, and skipped over to Rob.
