Chapter 19: Lil Munchkins

Maxine laughed. She called Jack.
"Hey Max, what's up?"
"Are you with Audrielle?"
"Absolutely! Are you going to come over? I have appearances today at 12."
"Alright. I'll bring her to my hotel room and hang out with her here. Next weekend I'm heading home, so I'll be with her. I'll meet you at your house in a hour." Maxine said hanging up her phone.

Roman walked in with food. He had a nervous look on his face.

"What's wrong Roman?" She said sitting up.
"Uhhh. Today is my day with my daughter. I was going to spend it with you but my sister called and reminded that today is my day with her. I would really like you to meet her. If that's ok with you?" Roman said anxiously.
"That's actually awesome! I have to get Audrielle from Jack in about an hour. We can go out to lunch after. How does that sound?" Maxine said crawling over to Roman.
"That sounds awesome. This makes me so happy!" Roman said kissing Maxine.

/in Phil & Maria's room\

Phil was laying in his bed on his phone. Maria rolled over and looking at him.

"Good morning, Phil!" She said wrapping her arm around his torso.
"Hey Maria." He sad putting his phone down.
"Can I ask you something?" She said quietly.
"Yeah sure." He said closing his eyes.
"Are you cheating on me?"
"What!"
"Are you cheating on me?"
"You're always on your phone. I think you're cheating on me."
"Are you crazy? Why would I cheat on you?"
"You treat me like a friend, or a roommate. You always act suspicious when you're on your phone. You're cheating on me."
"You're freaking crazy! You treat me like I am nothing. You always talk about me to all of your friends. Tell me everything to my face. Don't talk or complain about our relationship to other people and not tell me. You go around making it seem like I'm the bad guy. I'm just done with the drama." He said getting up and grabbing his suitcase. "Bye!" He said as he opened the door and walked out.
Maria started crying. Phil walked down the hallway. He knocked on Dean & Ashley's door. Ashley and Phil are really close friends. She opened the door.
"Hey Phil!" She said hugging him. "Come in!"
"I just broke up with Maria. Can I chill here for a little while?"
"Yeah, absolutely. Dean is just taking a shower then we are going to watch a movie. You're more than welcome to watch with us!"
"Thank you so much, Ash!"

/At Jack's house with Maxine & Roman\
Maxine came walking out to the car, holding her daughter. She opened the back door and slid her ten month old daughter in her car seat. She buckled her in and walked around the car back to the passenger side. She got in the car and smiled at Roman. Roman kissed Maxine's head and started driving to pick up his daughter. When they arrived, Roman ran into his sister's house. He came walking out holding his daughter's hand, walking to the car. After he buckled her in, he climbed back in the driver's seat.
"Joelle, this is my girlfriend Maxine. Maxine, this is my pride & joy Joelle." Roman said proudly.
"Hi Maxine. I watch you on tv. What is this baby's name?" Joelle said, smiling at the baby.
"Her name is Audrielle. She is my daughter. She is 10 months old. How old are you, Joelle?" Maxine said, smiling at Joelle.
"I am 6. Do you love my dad?" Joelle asked. Maxine and Roman looked at each other.
"Yes. I do. I do love your dad." Maxine said smiling into Roman's eyes.
"Not as much as me though!" Joelle said sweetly.
"Of course! We are going out to lunch, what would you like to eat?" Maxine said.
"Mac n cheese and a milkshake!!" Joelle said wiggling around in her seat.
"How about we go to Applebee's?" Roman said, looking around at their faces.
"Yay!" Maxine and Joelle both shouted.

/after lunch they went back to Maxine & Roman's hotel room\

"Is this where you and daddy stay?" Joelle asked, running over to the bed.
"Yes ma'am. Tonight you're staying here with us too! And I have another surprise!" Maxine said smiling.
"What is it?!" Joelle said, jumping up and down.
"You are coming with us to the live event tonight! You will get to see us wrestle!"
"Yay!! Is Audrielle coming too?" Joelle asked.
"Yes she is! You two will be with Dean and Ashley when we are wrestling!"
"Joelle, we are going to have quiet time now. Audrielle just went down for a nap, so you need to lay down for a little while too. Me and Maxine are going to be on the couch. So you crawl in our bed, and lay down for a while." Roman said, kissing Joelle's head as he pulled the covers up.

Maxine and Roman shut the bedroom door, and walked over to couch. They sat on the couch. Roman out his arm around Maxine. He rested his head on her head.
"You should read this text I got this morning. Tell me who you think it's from." Maxine said as she handed him her phone. He read it and laughed.
"Eve?"
