The Unfinished Business (BOOK 2)

Epilouge

Austin's P.O.V

The six of us noisily stumble on their porch, trying to disguise ourselves from our giddiness. I feel my stomach rumble and stop abruptly in front of their door. Oh no, it's coming. Damn it, I knew having Rocky's burrito was a mistake!

"Mama" whines Charlie, "Rocky stepped on my toe!"

"Shh" coos Carter, with Gabs not being helpful at all. "It's okay" he says, picking her up. "Rocky is naughty"

"I'm not!" screams Rocky

"Please will both of you be quiet?" scowls Gabs

I feel the gas climbing up my body until suddenly I let out a huge burp.

"Urgh you're so disgusting" they all groan

I slyly let out a fart as Charlie talks. "Look someones coming"

"Now you've ruined it" I shout , "They weren't supposed to know we were coming"

"Please" scoffs Bree, "I bet they could hear us from the car that we parked on the NEXT STREET"

"Dad can we please go inside now?" says Rocky, looking up at me with his green eyes, that remind me so much of Gabs.

"Someones coming-g-g-g" screeches Charlie in glee, in her high pitched voice

Oh God, I raised two nuisances.

The door suddenly gets yanked open. Our heads snap to her, with a dashing smile.

"AUNTIE MEMMY!" both scream Rocky and Charlie. Rocky squeezes Amelia in a hug as Charlie leaps down from Carter. Rocky couldn't say Amelia and started to call her Memmy instead and soon after it stuck and Charlie copied Rocky.

"Hello gorgeous" says Amelia, looking down at both of them. She waddles backwards to give us some space to come in.

"As much I love to see my niece and nephew..." Amelia's tired eyes, glare at me. "What the hell are you doing here?" she says, in a hushed tone, hoping Rocky and Charlie wouldn't hear.

I give her a big grin whilst Gabs gives her a sheepish one. "CAME HERE TO SURPRISE YOU OF COURSE!"

"Austin SHUT UP, they're sleeping!" cries Amelia.

"Well wake 'em up!" I declare to her.

"No I'm not!" says a familiar voice, from the top of the stairs. Lila, 8 years old, gleefully leaps down the stairs. "Uncle Austin!" she says, as she jumps into my arms. "What are you doing here?" she giggles, as she feels me tickling her, showing me her baby teeth.

I feign hurt, "Are you not glad to see me?"

"To be honest, no" answers a deep and tired voice.

"HAZZLEBERRY!" shout Rocky and Charlie, AGAIN. You don't even want to know WHY they gave Harry that nickname.

"You two, be quiet" says Gabs, sternly as she removes her coat.

"How come I don't get a big hug from the both of you?" says Carter walking towards Harry, after he quickly kisses Lila and Amelia on the cheek.

"You're still the best Uncle" whispers Charlie in a small voice as she turns around from Harry's leg.

Carter gives her a wink and we all walk into their living room. I put Lila down and Rocky soon runs towards her.

"Guess what I'm getting for Christmas?" he boasts, as the rest continue light conversation

"I don't know" says Lila, crossing her arms and looking uninterested.
