CHRISTINE BROOKS

-----------------------------------

I was awakened by the sound of someone rapidly knocking on my door. I sat up and got off my bed. Geez. Who's waking me up on early Sunday morning?! I opened the door only to see a woman in her forties dressed up in a bikini.

"What on this flat earth are you doing?",I asked in an annoyed tone.

"Did you forget? We're going swimming today!", my mom replied.

"And you're wearning that?", I asked as I pointed on the bikini she was wearing.

"Of course!", my mom exclaimed. My dad hugged my mom fron behind.

"Well, she is sexy after all.", my dad said. Unfortunately for me, my mom used to be a Victoria's secret model. So her body is so... so... close to perfection. As for me, how unfortunate could I get?

"By the way, your friend is coming.", my mom said.

"Who?", my dad and I asked simultaneuosly.

"Michael! The one who brought you home last week.", my mom said.

"What?!", my dad and I yellled simultaneuosly in shock.

"What's with that simultaneuosity in asking me questions? Oh well. Like father, like daughter.

"I'm gonna go put all the stuff away in to the car. Christine, go get ready.", my dad said.

"Okay.", I replied. I ran up to my room and opened my closet. Wait. Will I wear a bikini? No way. Not in front of him.It's way too embarrassing. Maybe I'll wear one but I'll cover it with a shirt and short. I placed the things I needed. Extras, necessities, sun block, and I'm ready to go. I grabbed my Black Jansport backpack and exited my room. I went outside my house and I saw Michael talking with my dad.

"Hey!", I called out to my dad. Both of them looked at me as I approached my dad.

"Are you normally talking with my friend?", I asked.

"Why are you stressing the word normally?", my dad asked.

"Ugh. Forget it.", I said. I give up! My dad can be an airhead sometimes. But even so, he can kill a person by just talking. Seriously, he interrogates my friends who are boys. That's why I don't introduce them to one anymore because I know how my mom would love to tease me and how my dad interrogates to death. Oh parents, how can you be so stupid? I opened the car door but my dad prevented me from going in.

"What?", I asked my dad in an irritated tone.

"Nuh uh. You're riding with Michael.", my mom replied.

"I was asking dad.", I told my mom with a bored expression on my face. Yeah my parents can be vigorously crazy sometimes, well most of the times but I still love them especially my dad's idiocy.

"Let's go!", my mom said as my adorkable parents drive away. I was left standing alone with Michael. He opened the car door and I looked at him.

"Whenever you're ready.", he said. I was now on the state of embarrassment, nervousness, and I was flustering.

"O-okay. I'm g-going in now.", I replied. Shoots. What with the crappy voice Christine?! Get a hold of yourself. Since when have you been so flustered around Michael?! Calm down. Michael turned the engine on and drove.

"Are you okay?", Michael asked.

"Yeah.", I replied.

"You look so flustered.", Michael said.

"No I'm not.", I replied. I turned on the radio and the music was on. It was terrible! I nearly thought I was with William Shakespeare. I turned it off and Michael laughed.

"What?!", I asked. I sat back properly and crossed my arms above my chest.

"You're really funny.", Michael replied. I blushed and I immediately looked out the window because I didn't want him to see it. Just why did I fall for this guy?! Seriously, why?

MICHAEL COLLINS

---------------------------------

Christine was really funny. I bet she was expecting some other music to pop out but it wasn't what she expected.

"We're here.", I told Christine as I parked my car and turned it off. Christine and I got off and faced the beach with less people.

"Well, we have the much of the beach to ourselves.", I told her.

"Yeah.", she replied. I looked at her and I took her backpack.

"Hey!", she said.

"I'll carry it for you.", I replied.

"But it's not that heavy.", she said as she was trying to get her bag back and I was dodging her.

"Give me my bag back!", she said.

"Don't be so stubborn. I'll carry it because I said so.", I said. She gave up and walked away.

"Jocks..", I heard her say. I can't help but chuckle. Christine's acting like a child and I find it cute since it fits her. We walked forward until Mrs. Brooks spotted us.

"Over here!", she called out to Christine and I. We both went to them.

"Both of you cook lunch.", Mr. Brooks demaded.

"What about you guys?", Christine asked.

"We have something to do dear.", Mrs. Brooks said as she took off her clothes and dragged Mr. Brooks to the sea.

"Sorry about my parents. They're just nuts. Also, sorry you got dragged along by my parents' madness.", Christine said as she unpacked the grocery bag.

"It's not a problem. It's kind of amazing, actually. You don't get to have parents like that every day.", I told her.

"I know. That's why even if they are insanely crazy, I still love them so much and I sometimes see them like a pair of idiotic kids.", Christine said. Both of us laughed.

"It's refreshing to look at.", I said.

"It's annoying but I have to agree with you.", she said as she smiled at me. We smiled at each other not even remembering what we were doing. Then Christine blinked her eyes and cleared her throat.

"Let's s-start cooking M-michael.", she said. Was she nervous? Why is she also flustered?

DYLAN WILSON

-----------------------------------

"Catherine is improving Dylan. It is really good. This is a good sign. The baby is doing perfectly fine. It is healthy and happy.", the doctor said. This made me smile and I looked at Catherine who was smiling back at me.

"Catherine, keep up the good work. Alright?", the nurse said.

"Of course.", Catherine said with that blooming smile on her face.

"By the way, are you sure you won't do the ultra sound? Don't you want to know the gender of your baby?", the doctor asked.

"It's for her to decide.", I replied.

"No. I want to know our baby's gender when it come's out and I'm going to be there.", Catherine said. I smiled and kissed her on her head.

"Okay. But let us know anything. That's all. Now, excuse us.", the doctor said as they exited the room.

"Are you sure about this Catherine?", I asked.

"Yes, I am. Dylan, I will be there, okay? Besides, I will be the first to hold our baby.", she replied.

"If you say so.", I replied as I hugged her.

"I love you Catherine and baby..", I paused.

"Oh we haven't thought of a name yet.", Catherine said.

"Come to think of it, we've been only calling our baby, baby.", I replied.

"Let's think.", she said. There we sat thinking of possible names for our baby. I wonder what name would be good?
