Twenty-Four
"Ok, people" DJ demands as she goes over what to expect for Thanksgiving or the schedule since soon Felix and Demetri will be heading up to Forks to deal with the Cullens once and for all "who can tell me what Thanksgiving is all about?" Most people raise their hands but me, Demetri and Felix since we aren't playing this game. Plus this will be Demetri's and Felix's first time leaving us, apparently something happened. The Cullens created an immortal child and now they are going to deal with them. They'll be back after Christmas so that means the wedding is being pushed back.
Fernando is called upon "Giving thanks for all our blessings" that and to also celebrate the a time of peace between the pilgrims and the Native Americans.
"Wrong" DJ says "Thanksgiving it about me"
"I'm sorry?" Demetri asks
Shaking her head "I mean me hosting the perfect Thanksgiving! Which takes macrothinking, micromanaging and a little microwaving"
"Deej" I cut off her me speech "you do realize that not everything will go as planned, right?" Rubbing my belly "I mean look at me, I'm a whale because someone didn't pull out and refuses to wear condoms"
Demetri smiles rubbing my belly "I know your angry with me, I don't care. I love you and I love our little bundles growing in your oven"
"Aww" DJ gushes "but enough with that" waving her hand before handing us the itinerary "it's going to be a very full house, so here are your schedule of activities for tomorrow, suggested dress code and a voucher good for one six minute shower"
"Do I really" Jimmy complains "need to specify light or dark meat right now?"
"No" shaking her head "you have till four"
"Even dad" Stephanie shakes her head "wasn't this neurotic and he use to vacuum the fridge"
"Doesn't he still do that?" I ask
"Make fun of me" DJ ignores us walking to the board "all you want, but now that dad lives in LA and Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky are there too and Joey's stuck in Vegas...this is our one chance all year to get together with the whole family and that's why this year has to be the next thanksgiving in our history of thanksgiving!"
"Ah, your really fucking hot" Felix shakes his head "with your holiday spirit and competitive spirit towards many things"
"And your hot" DJ leans down to kiss him "when you tell me I'm hot" Max comes in then playing the trombone.
"Grandpa Danny" he announce "is here!"
"Oh! Okay!" She waves us to move and Demetri helps me up "let's go! Grab the sleeping chart!" Going to the living room, I lean against Demetri as he rubs my belly holding me.
"This is exciting" Felix says "meeting your dad and his wife"
"Oh, Teri's with her family" DJ tells him "but your going to love my dad"
"I haven't" everyone comes downstairs as Jimmy exclaims "seen Old Man Tanner in twenty years! Now he's older man Tanner!"
"I'm sure you remember" Kimmy said "but he isn't a big fan of the Gibblers"
"Yeah" Stephanie agrees "nobody tell him that I'm dating Jimmy Gibbler"
"In that case" Jimmy says "call me Jimmy Gobbler"
"This Danny" Demetri whispers "he's not stupid is he?" Shaking my head no, Danny will know.
"Okay" opening the door, we see Danny come in and my mouth is open as I stare at him in shock. He's wearing this young non Danny wear. I mean he's dressed with a y shirt? Jeans, a silver jacket with a gold chain and sunglasses.
"Hey! My peeps!" Danny throws his duffel bag on the floor.
"Oh" Melody says
"My" Adrian next says
"Gosh" Vaughn finished
"I'm guessing" Demetri asks "this is a shock"
"What's catch a lackin?" Danny asks "yo! Family fist bumps, come on! All around!" He gives us fist bumps but Stephanie and the others saying "and et cetera"
"Is that your Ferrari on the side walk?" Jackson exclaims
"Woah!" Melody exclaims
"Uh" blinking is all I can do
"True dat" Danny confirms "you should have seen me blazing through" I just stare at Danny, I mean what else can I do?
"Uh excuse me sir" Stephanie says "but have you seen our dad?"
"If you have" I say "tell him we're very concerned about this" waving to him.
"Dad" DJ says bringing over Felix "this is my boyfriend, Felix Volturi. He's Demetri's brother"
"It's great to meet you Mr. Tanner" they shake hands
"Ah" he nods his head "do you and Donna Jo been getting buggy with it?"
We stare at him "I think" whispering to Demetri "I need to sit then sleep" he helps me sit down as we watch the next few minutes of this new version of Danny.
Max plays his trombone announcing "It's Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky!"
"Ah" Fernando says "their like Kimmy and I, so crazy in love!" They've been on the rocks, Kimmy is actually thinking about going out on some dates with other men.
"You promised to stop talking about it!" We hear Jesse yell
"You're the one talking about it!" Becky yells back
"Hi" they smile coming in
"Are you two fighting?" I ask
"No" shaking their heads "just yelling very loudly, right honey bear?"
"That's right" Becky agrees "butter nuts!"
"See—butter nuts?" He asks
Max blows his horn again saying "Our cousins Nicky and Alex!" They come inside smiling, Alex had a tray of tacos with him "or Alex and Nicky, I can never tell"
"Look" Becky says "the boys brought fish tacos" I get up to run out of the room to vomit smelling the fish, any type of fish makes me extremely nauseous.
We go back in to see Joey and his family here "Oh no"
"What?" Demetri asks worried
"It's the blonde monsters" I whisper to him, Demetri looks at them then to me.
~Next Day~
"Where is everybody?" DJ demands as I'm sitting at the table with Demetri helping cook while Felix helps DJ "their ninety minutes late for the family photo"
"Hate to say it Deej" she looks my way "but I said that not everything goes according to plan"
Shaking her head "Maybe babe" Felix suggests "after the family photo you take a nap, we've got this handled. Demetri and I can set up the tables and food, RJ can order us around and everyone else can have their fun"
DJ looks at him "Really? You'd do that?" We nod our heads, we know she barely slept last night thanks to the Gladstone kids. Those kids need some serious bad cop parenting.
"Of course" Felix nods his head, the two share a kiss just as CJ and Steve come in. Yeah their invited to thanksgiving too.
"Hi guys" smiling to them
"Hi" CJ hugs me "wow, has anyone told you how gorgeous you look while pregnant?"
"Many times" looking at Demetri
"Cause your like a goddess" Demetri tells me "your bringing life into the world, glowing—your like the goddess Aphrodite"
"Aw" CJ gushes "Steve, why can't you be so romantic like him?"
"I am" he protests "DJ, you don't look too good"
"She's just tired" I tell them
"The Gladstone children" Felix tells them "their a lot—that's why RJ is taking over while DJ sleeps"
"Oh" CJ looks at me "can I help?"
"It's okay" waving my hand "your the guest"
The door opens and DJ exclaims "Everyone this way" people go one by one until it's just Danny and we stare at him shocked with the mud.
"Come on" Demetri helps me up, going to the dining room everyone is all scattered.
So I yell "Everyone quiet!" They look my way "let's get into formation, tallest in the back and shortest in the front! The faster we do this the faster you all can go and talk or whatever!" After a few minutes, Demetri comes to my side holding me as the camera goes off.
"Great!" DJ exclaims, she then goes to take a nap while Stephanie, Kimmy and I go to the kitchen.
"DJ is going to sleep" I tell them "now, what's this about?"
"Let's try to save thanksgiving" Stephanie says "Kimmy, she talks to Joey about his family"
"With Demetri there" I say "I'll talk to Danny" after some time I go outside when Danny thinks about smoking "don't" he looks at me "what midlife crisis are you going through?"
"What makes you think that?" He asks, I sit down crossing my arms "okay...I was cleaning my shelf of my awards when it fell, I was about to be impaled by my BASBA award just as my life flashed before me eyes"
"How fast was the book case falling?" I ask
He gives me a look "So I decided to change my life"
"Why?" I ask "your amazing the way you are, everyone loves you just the way you are. Not this new version"
"You think so?" He asks
Nodding my head "I know so"
