chapter 26
There was a knock on the door. Phil went to go answer it, being careful incase bam was planning a sneak attack. He peered out the peep hole and saw it was bam with Aiden. Phil unlocked the door and let bam in. Bam set aiden down on the bed where the toddler promptly crawled over to his grandma. Ape happily picked Aiden up and played with him. Bam saw the look in his mom's eyes, he hadnt seen that look in ages when he brought her up on stage with Billy idol for her birthday.
"Can I assume that you like the room?"
"Hun its beautiful."
Ape said as she cradeled Aiden on her hip with one arm while wrapping the other around Bam's neck, giving him a hug. Bam smiled but then it dropped like ice cream from a cone on a hot day in july.
"Ape, Phil, I need your advice on something..."
Ape and phil froze.
"Dont tell me you got Krys pregnant."
"No thats not wha....Hey! Why is it when i ask for advice you automatically assume I got some girl pregnant?"
"We're your parents, we're suposed to assume the worst."
Phil said as he sat down on the bed with Ape and Aiden. Phil smiled as Aiden tugged on his shirt sleeve. Bam rolled his eyes and pulled the small box out of his pocket. He showed it to Ape. His mother gasped as she took the small box from him and opened it up.
"Bam this is.... this is a big commitment. Are you sure you're ready?"
"Your mom's right son, This is one of the biggest things that could happen to anyone."
Bam swallowed and snapped the box shut. He slipped it back into his pocket. Bam nervously licked his lips and pulled Aiden back up into his arms. Aiden pulled the visor beanie off of bam's head and set it on his own. The hat was big for him, so it slid down over his eyes, making Aiden squeal in happiness.
"Daddy!"
Aiden squealed as he bounced in Bam's arms. Ape and phil shared a look at their grandsons first word.
"I'm as ready for this as I'll ever be. I've never been so sure about anything. Besides If I dont do something soon..."
"You're afraid you're gonna loose her. right?"
Phil injected wisely. Bam nodded feverously as Aiden was set down on the floor to play with one of his favorite toys that Glomb had made for him, a wooden skateboard on a pull string.
"Yeah that sounds about right. I just dont know. I'm confused about alot of things right about now. Aiden's one of 'em. I cant understand how Krys must feel having to raise him with me of all people. He's my brothers child. He should be calling Jesse dad and not me."
"The one thing you'll find out about kids is that they see deeper then what blood is running through the veins. With Aiden, as long as you love him and be a father to him, he'll see you as a father. If *** didnt think you could handle Aiden then he wouldnt have given you this opportunity."
Ape said as she gave her son a kiss on the cheek. Bam smiled and then ruffeled Aidens hair as he was playing with both the visor beanie and the wooden skateboard.
"Thanks ape."
Bam turned to the door with his head.
"Can I ask you to keep Aiden for the night? Krys and I need some alone time."
Ape smiled and gave her son a hug.
"Of course, have fun."
"Here's an extra key incase you need to get some of his stuff."
bam said handing a key to Ape. Phil hugged Bam as well, not with out a little struggle from his son to avoid his fathers bear hug. Bam gave Aiden a kiss on the cheek before turning to head over to his and Krys's room.
"Dont worry son, I know she'll say yes."
Phil said as bam headed across the hall.
phoenix's ultra-specail blah blah blah #1- i ended up having this idea when talking with a friend. She was telling me about how one of her favorite Manga writers injects her thoughts into the comic about some random things in the book. so im gonna give it a try and hopefully give my readers a behind the sceens type of thing. chapter 26 was a hard one to write for me. 'specailly with how the characters have developed thus far, if any of you have watched viva la bam, you know how random and obnoxious bam is, so, trying to find a way for him to figure things out made me think that he would go more on impulse, just like most guys do. but other then that... it was kindda fun to write since alot of it was inspired by rav's writing. *ending phoenix's ultra specail blah blah blah #1*
