GAVIN

It's been 4 days since I found out that I'm going to be the proud father of a baby boy.

I know my son is gonna look just like me.

I can't wait to meet him.

He's gonna be my EVERYTHING.

I'm gonna teach him so many things.

I can't wait till that time comes.

I haven't even shared the news with my folks yet.

I wonder how they'll react 🤔

I'm​ so glad the weekend is here.

We're having Dad and Uncle Pete a cookout on Sunday since their birthdays are on the same day.

It's not to be missed.

It's Friday and I just wanna relax.

I guess that'll come later though.

For now, I'm waiting on Mom to get through cooking.

I'm hungry as hell.

I ain't ate since lunch time.

Tonight we're having chicken  fajitas, my favorite.

Me & Xander are sitting at the kitchen table watching Mom cook.

OLIVIA: GAVIN, XANDER, WHY DO YOU TWO KEEP STARING AT ME?

XANDER: I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

GAVIN: ME EITHER.

OLIVIA: YOU TWO HAVE BEEN IN HERE SINCE I STARTED COOKING.

XANDER: WE JUST ENJOY WATCHING YOU COOK, WHICH BY THE WAY IT SMELLS GOOD IN HERE. I CAN'T WAIT TO EAT.

OLIVIA: YEAH RIGHT...WHICH ONE OF YOU GOT IN TROUBLE TODAY?

GAVIN: I DON'T GET IN TROUBLE, SO IT'S NOT ME.

OLIVIA: XANDER?

Xander stares at Mom while she stirs the chicken in the skillet.

XANDER: HUH?

OLIVIA: BY THE WAY YOU'RE ACTING IT MUST BE YOU. WHICH TEACHER DID YOU CURSE OUT NOW?

XANDER: HUH? MA, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I AIN'T DID NOTHING WRONG.

OLIVIA: THEN WHY ARE YOU AND GAVIN STARING AT ME WHILE I COOK?

XANDER: BECAUSE WE'RE HUNGRY!!!!! WE HAVEN'T EATEN SINCE LUNCH, WHICH BY THE WAY WAS HORRIBLE. I DID NOT INDULGE IN THE CASSEROLE SURPRISE.

GAVIN: NEITHER DID I. I TOOK ONE LOOK AT IT AND MY STOMACH DID FLIPS.

OLIVIA: DINNER WILL BE DONE SHORTLY BOYS. WHERE'S KIARA?
