Picket Fences! Part 74



Over at Max's place . . .



"I enjoyed our little walk today", said Jeniffer.

"I thought you would. I'm going to order a pizza. I'm starving", said Max.



He called Service and ordered a pizza.

"That will be $40", said the voice on the phone.
"Okay", he said.



A few minutes later the pizza delivery van stopped in front of Max's place and his mother Lauren Reeves got out.



She took the pizza from the back of the van and walked toward Max's place.






She handed the box to Max. He accepted the delivery and took it into the kitchen.



Max asked Lauren to join them for lunch.



"What did Rhys say when you told him you were his son?". asked Lauren.



"When I went to his place and told him I was his son, the first thing he asked was "Who is your mama? When I said NPC Lauren Reeves the pizza delivery girl, he said that by the looks of me, he believed I was", said Max.



"Yeah, you do favor him", she said.



"He also said that if he had known about me he would have raised me with my brother Ryan", said Max.



"Your dad sounds like a wonderful person to me", said Jessica.



"Yeah, he has his faults just like all of us, but he does take care of his own", said Max.

"If I had it to do over, I would have told him", she said.



Lauren said she had to go back to work and gave Max a friendly hug goodbye . . .





And left.



"Your mom's a nice person. I think she regrets not telling your dad about you", said Jessica.



"Yeah, my life probably would have been much better", he said.


"Okay, enough about the past. Let's concentrate on today", said Max.

"Okay, that sounds good", she said.



"Let's go upstairs . . .





'Come 'mon . . . follow me", he said.





When they entered Max's bedroom, he started punching the punching bag.





He offered to give Jessica lessons.






While Jessica was punching the punching bag . . . Max worked out on the exercise machine.



"You done real good", he said.



"Thanks", she said, giving him a romantic hug.



Max went over and relaxed on his bed and asked her to join. . . .



When he asked her to cuddle . . .



She said yes.



He gave her a romantic kiss which she returned with one of her own.

But when he asked her to makeout . . .



She said No!



Then she got up off the bed . . .





And Max went over to her and said "I ain't gonna make you do nothing you ain't ready to do."



Then he gave her a romantic hug goodbye.



With an undecided look on her face, Jessica left to go home.


After Ryan took Matthew home . . .



He stopped by Sarah's place before he went home.



When he walked into the livingroom . . .



Sarah greeted him with a romantic hug.



He swooped her up in his arms . . .



And carried her upstairs to her bedroom.



He sit her on the bed.


He gave her a romantic kiss.



They madeout.



"You want to do woo hoo?", he asked.



And Sarah said "Yes!"



"I love you Ryan", she said.



"Yeah, I know", he said.



Ryan got up from the bed . . .



Then he left to go home.





Ryan walked into his house.



He sit on the sofa between his sons Jeffery and Joseph.



"We're going to have a new family member", said Carrie.



"Is Grandpa going to have another baby?", asked Jeffery.



"No, your mama's going to have a baby. You guys are going to be big brothers", said Ryan.



Jeffery asked his father to snuggle.



"Will you and Mama still love me after the baby's born?", he asked.

"Of course, we will", answered Ryan.



Then Joseph asked him to snuggle.



"How about me?", asked Joseph.


"We'll still love both you guys. The baby won't change how we feel about you guys", said Ryan.



"Oh, before I forget, Matthew's going to come home on the schoolbus Friday afternoon with the twins and spend the night. Then I'll take him home Saturday and these guys can go to his birthday party. Okay?", said Ryan.



"Mama, please. Can we?", begged the twins.

"Alright, I think it's good if the boys can be friends", she said.





"Okay guys, time for bed", said Ryan.









Joseph and Jeffery got into bed and slept in their underwear.



"I'm exhausted. I'm going on to bed", said Ryan.

"I'll be there in a few minutes", said Carrie.




Ryan got into bed and slept in his underwear.



A few minutes later Carrie gor into bed beside him.



She snuggled up close behide Ryan, unaware that he was having an affair.

After the family finished eating . . .



The twins played Red Hands . . .



And Steve played the piano in the livingroom.



Jessica and her mother chatted over coffee in the kitchen.
'Mom, I've fallen in love with a wonderful man", said Jessica.



"Who is this wonderful man?", asked Jane.

"His name's Max Reeves. His daddy is Rhys Sawyer who lives over on Shadetree Lane", said jessica.



"I've heard some gossip about Mr. Sawyer. I hope for your sake, Max isn't like his daddy", she said.



"Mom, Max told me about all the different women his siblings have. His daddy is married now to the mother of two of his childern. Rhys has finally settled down now that he's older", she said.
