My Hero (Lab Rats: Season 1/Chase Davenport Love Story)

Chapter 5: Exoskeleton vs. Grandma

Paige POV

I wake up shivering and achy. I pull the blankets over me trying to get warm. I lay there for a moment checking my phone and notice that it is 9 am. I sigh and make my way to my bathroom. I take a hot shower. I put on my Nike leggings, an Ivory Ella maroon shirt, and some comfy socks. I blow dry my hair and put it in two loose French braids. I slip my Birkenstocks on and head to the kitchen. I grab a water bottle from the fridge and look at the living room. Davenport is wearing some weird helmet on his head standing in the middle of the room attempting to balance on one foot. Adam is using Leo as a weight and bench pressing him. Chase and Bree are playing catch with her super speed. He stops throwing and comes over to me wrapping his arm around my waist

"Goodmorning," He says smiling kissing my forehead. I smile at him and he returns to his game. I sit on one of the stools next to Tasha, who is on the phone.

"Yes mom, Leo, Paige and I love our new home," Tasha says looking at me smiling, "Oh, you should come and visit,"

"467, 468-- Put some muscle in it. 469..." Leo counts for Adam.

"Shhh. I'm picking up radio free Singapore," Davenport says then starts singing in a foreign language. "That's gonna be a hit. You mark my words," I laugh at him

"But not today.... Why? Because Donald's not feeling well. Look, I gotta go. He just threw up in my purse. Love you, bye!" Tasha says hanging up the phone.

"You know, we're gonna have to have your mother over eventually," Davenport says turning to Tasha.

"No, we don't," I say.

"Look, my mom doesn't just visit. She has inspections. If she spots anything weird, she will use it as an excuse for her to move in," Tasha explains as I nod. Bree come speeding over catching a ball Chase threw at her.

"Nothing weird here," She says sheepishly and super speeds away.

"Honey, when your mother visits, I will shower her with love, I will make her feel welcome and I will do anything humanly possible to--" Davenport comforts but is cut off by the doorbell. Tasha gasps and we look at the monitor to see who it is.

"It's my mother!" Tasha says frightened.

"I'll be in the lab!" Davenport yells running down to the lab.

"Quick! Turn invisible!" She says looking at Adam, Bree, and Chase. They look at her strangely "Oh, come on, you have every other freaky ability! Just run and hide!" They run behind the kitchen counter.

"Oh good. It's unlocked!" Grandma Rose says walking right in.

"Mom! You're here," Tasha greets with a fake smile. She hugs her mom.

"Would've been here sooner if it hadn't been for your stupid gate," Grandma Rose says.

"Oh, that's just Donald's titanium security fence," Tasha says trying to impress her.

"Well, if you ram it with your car hard enough, it pops right open," Grandma Rose says. Leo and I look at each other with wide eyes. "Leo! Paige! There's my babies. Come give me some sugar. Oooooh! Grandma's so glad to see you. Let me see your faces. Let me see your faces. Let me see your faces. Let me see your faces. You're so cute!" She says pinching our cheeks. She reaches into her purse and pulls out a giant loaf wrapped in tin foil. "Grandma brought your favorite bran fruitcake," As she says 'bran fruitcake', Leo and I mouth it with her.

"Oh! Wow. Grandma, you shouldn't have!" I say sweetly as she hands me the bran fruitcake. I pass it to Leo but it weighs him down and he drops it.

"Oh baby," She replies.

"And when we say you shouldn't have--" Leo begins.

"Leo...." Tasha says sternly.
