Day 30 (Thursday)

"Daaaaaaaddddddd!" Emily shook me awake.

"Yes, Silly Bear." I asked.

"Wake up!"

I laughed, "Okay... Okay... you win. I'm up." I opened my eyes to see the little girl staring at me. Her blonde hair was in a mess of bed head. I laughed again.

She smiled. "Hi!"

"Hi, baby."

She kissed my cheek and sat back on her legs. "Uncle Joe, uncle Andy, Aunt Marie, and some other girl are downstairs. Taylor let them in before she left."

I nodded, "Of course she did..." I rolled over and yawned. "Go tell them I'll be down in a minute. Just let me get dressed."

She giggled. "Okay!" I felt the bed shift as she hopped down and ran out of the room.

After I got dressed, I walked down the stairs to see Taylor, Gerard, Bandit, Emily, Joe, Andy, Marie, and Sadie. "Thanks for the warning..." I said sarcastically.

"No problem!" Joe smiled at me. He was sitting next to Marie. Her hand was holding his and the clasped hands were lying in Joe's lap.

Taylor and Gerard were sitting in the chair, Taylor sitting on Gerards lap.

Andy was sitting with Sadie who was playing with Bandit and Emily.

"So what's up?"

"Just thought we'd stop by. Where's Pete?" Andy asked. He had his hand on the small of Sadie's back.

"Work." I said, walking into the kitchen and grabbing some coffee which was already conveniently made.

"Work!?" Gerard cried.

"Yeah... he got a job a couple days ago..." I said, walking back out and sitting in an empty seat.

"Way to keep us updated..." Joe rolled his eyes.

"Sorry that we have a life of our own..." I said. "Emily, sweetie... Did you eat breakfast?"

She nodded.

"What'd you have?" I asked.

"Watermelon!" She cried, smiling.

I laughed. "Okay, silly bear... that's not breakfast... come on... let's go make you something." I stood up.

"Okay!" She hopped up and ran in front of me to the kitchen.

"Hey, Trick..." Gerard walked into the kitchen.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Bandit and Emily are going trick-or-treating together, right?" He asked.

I shrugged. "I don't see why not." I said.

"Yay!" Emily cried.

I looked over my shoulder at her and smiled.

She and Bandit were playing with Barbies at the table.

I got the breakfast made and walked over to the table, setting the plate of eggs next to her.

Emily eventually started eating after ending the game of Barbies.

I walked out into the living room and sat down on the couch, continuing whatever conversation we had going on.

After a little while of talking, Emily ran out of the kitchen and jumped onto Joe's lap. "Hi, uncle Joe!" She cried, hugging him.

"Hey, Little girl!" He said, hugging her back.

"I haven't seen you in a long time!"

"A couple days, to be exact." Joe laughed.

Emily shrugged and cuddled into his chest.

Joe smiled.

-Bedtime-

Pete had gotten home an hour after everyone left. Such a shame, too. They were his friends after all...

I tucked Emily into bed and walked into our room.

Pete was lying on the bed playing on his phone.

I laid next to him and snuggled up next to him, resting my head on his chest. "What are you doing?" I asked.

He leaned down and kissed my head. "Reading..." he mumbled.

"What are you reading?"

"The Perks of Being a Wallflower." (Just got this book... ITS AMAZING!)

I nodded and closed my eyes, letting the sleep take over.

A/N:

Hey, guys! Wow! I'm so sorry this took forever to update! I've been trying to keep up! I swear! But... boy drama... the typical grades in school drama... the other drama! Wow...

AND I'M STILL LISTENING TO AMERICAN BEAUTY/AMERICAN PSYCHO! Plus... I've been a little obsessed with Five Nights At Freddy's... that game is so cool!
