Forever Yours

Chapter 21

John's POV
As Alex and I walked down to Angie's room, we whispered things back and forth, careful not to wake them.

We got to her door and I pushed it open slightly. I peeked in to see Nathaniel and her cuddling while asleep. I smiled at them.

"Baby, come here. Look at this." Alex peeked into the room and his face went red with anger.

"They better not be together. Angelica knows better." He whisper-shouted. I ran a hand through his hair which calmed him down.

"Angelica would tell us if they were together. Now, I'm sure Laf and Herc want their son awake and Angelica needs to get up." He nodded and I walked into her room. I walked to her side and moved a piece of her hair out of her face. "Angelica, honey you need to get up." She stirred but woke up.

"I'm up. Good morning father." Nathaniel fluttered his eyes open and saw that Angelica was awake. He cuddled her side tighter but became aware of my presence.

"Oh, good morning Uncle John." I smiled at him and kissed Angelica's head.

"Angelica, we have to be at the airport at 7 and it's already 6, so you need to get up. I know you want to sleep but you can sleep on the plane." She whined while pulling Nathaniel's arms off of her. He immediately grabbed her comforter and wrapped himself in it. I chuckled and tapped his shoulder.

"Must I get up Uncle John?"

"Yes. Your dad's are downstairs in the guest room." Angelica got up to go to her bathroom and I turned to Nathaniel once she closed the door. "So, would you like to explain why you were in a bed with my daughter?"

"She asked me stay. I promise I'm not lying Uncle John." I nodded and Angelica walked out with her hair up and some comfortable clothes on. "I should go change." He left and I tossed Angelica a bag.

"Here's your carry on. Put your phone, charger, camera, a change of clothes, earbuds, and anything else you may need on the plane." She nodded and started putting the items in the bag. "Are you excited?"

"Of course I am! We're going to Disney Father! I can't wait." I smiled.

"Dad!" Phillip yelled down the hall. I sighed and walked into his room.

"Yes Pip?" I noticed he had his blanket around hid neck. He pulled the blanket down to reveal dozens of hickeys. "Phillip!" I ran over to him and touched his neck to make sure they were real. "Was George here last night!"

He nodded and hid under his covers. "I'm sorry dad. But can I have some Advil? My legs are sore!" I chuckled.

"You remind me of your dad." He fake gagged. "Alright, let's go downstairs. Your bag is ready right?" He nodded and rolled out of his bed. I laughed as he walked with a limp. "George really did a number on you."

"Y-yeah." I pushed him slightly before walking to the guest room. I burst open the door and entered very loudly.

"Alright Lafayette's! Get your stuff to the car so we can leave on time!" Herc appeared from the bathroom with a toothbrush in his mouth, Laf stopped triming his beard, and Nathaniel shot up from his book.

"Mon ami. Why must you be so loud?" Laf commented setting down his razor. "We 'ave everything and we are ready."

"I know, it's just you know how Alex is. He has to be on time for everything." I said leaning against the doorway. "Also he wants to eat lunch before we leave. We're eating in the airport. So we're leaving at 6:30 and it's 6:13."

I left the room, closing the door behind me, and walked into the living room where all our bags were kept. Phillip was eating an apple on the couch and Alex was reading.
