Chapter 13: Family Meeting
Christine was sitting on her back porch, sipping her coffee as peace surrounded her because she hasn't felt peace for the last two days because her daughters started a fight between each other of who she loves the most, something that was bewildering to her because she loved her children with every fiber of her being.
Thinking back to the last two days, she was trying to calm her head from an ongoing headache that formed, the only thing that seemed to help is when John ran her a bath with her favorite bubbles and essential oils with candles and a glass of red wine to calm her frazzled nerves.
Still feeling the ongoing headache, the peacefulness of her backyard was her sanctuary from the sheer craziness of what has happened for the past two days, both her girls were fighting nonstop, getting jealous of their mum spending time with one another and causing John to leave and go hang out with Mick at the studio or go to sleep at an early hour to drown out the sound of their girls fighting over everything.
At that moment, she was at peace but that was interrupted.
"Mum, Olivia and Emily are fighting again!" Henry shouted from the living room as Christine tried her best stay peaceful and calm as she got up and dreaded going upstairs to see what the fight was about this time as she headed into the kitchen to see John holding a bag of frozen peas to his forehead from a headache that was set in.
"What is this fight about this time?" Christine asked him.
"Something about being on the phone with a boy this time, fuck if I know anymore." John said as Christine was over it all as she sat down on his lap.
"I'm over this, it's been nothing but peaceful around here for two days and I feel like just packing a suitcase and going somewhere." Christine said as John looked at his wife and had an idea.
"Go get your bags packed sweetheart." John said as Christine looked at him.
"I'm just saying that because what the bloody hell are we going to do with our girls? They'll kill each other if we left." Christine said.
"Let's have a family meeting." John said.
"Now?" Christine asked looking at the clock, it was almost lunch time and she needed to make lunch.
"Now, then after our meeting, we're packing and going on a trip because this chaos is worse than when Lindsey and Stevie would fight in the studio and we had to get between them, I do not want another Buckingham Nicks 2.0 living in our house, not a chance in hell." John said as Christine laid her head back down on his shoulder and the smell of his cologne brought her peace and warmth.
"I know darling, now let's go before they kill each other." Christine said and John groaned at this and took his wife's hand and bound for the stairs as they went to go see what their girls were fighting about this time.
"You're always on the phone with some guy, like do you know how immature that is?" Emily questioned.
"How do know it's a guy I'm on the phone with and you wouldn't know anyway, you're just jealous because I can talk to guys and you can't because mum and dad will freak out!" Olivia said back.
"Please, I would not be jealous of half the guys you sneak out of the house to see!" Emily said.
"You snuck out to see an R-rated movie last weekend you somehow had a fake ID for and if mum and dad ever found out, you're arse would be grounded until you're thirty." Olivia said.
"At least I have friends, unlike you little miss perfect, I heard you on phone last night, having phone sex and you were moaning like a barnyard animal." Emily said as she mimicked Olivia as Henry walked up the stairs and choked on his water and started laughing.
"Damn, I thought I was the only one who heard those noises." Henry said, laughing as John and Christine stood shocked and stunned by what their girls were screaming at each about and not amused about their son laughing.
"Oh really, I'm miss perfect? What about that vibrator in your nightstand? Huh?" Olivia questioned as John had enough.
"Vibrators are better than a real life boyfriend, at least I can have a proper orgasm without a man and phone sex." Emily said as Christine was seething now.
"Really, what about the pregnancy test in the trash can in the bathroom the other day!" Olivia said.
"What? I did not take a pregnancy test the other day, you're the whore who can't keep her legs shut, it was probably yours, you bitch!" Emily said back.
"Well, it sure as hell wasn't mum's, she knew that after she had you!" Olivia said.
"At least mum and dad wanted me, you were just a mistake from a broken condom, at least I was planned!" Emily said.
"I was made by a passionate night after a rough tour, you were the one who tore mum and dad's marriage apart!" Olivia said.
Christine had enough, at this point, she was now trying not to cry by the mean, hateful words coming out of girls mouths.
"Girls, get downstairs now, this instant!" Christine was pissed by this point and the girls stood there, frozen and wide-eyed.
"You girls are so fucked!" Henry hollered as he laughed.
"Henry Graham McVie, you better walk away before you don't see the light of day anymore, now get gone!" Christine seethed and Henry ran down the stairs and out the house to his car because it rare his mother used his full name.
"Olivia Anne McVie and Emily Lynn McVie, you better get your arses downstairs and in the kitchen this instant before I break that fucking door down!" Christine said as she jogged down the stairs, John followed her and into the kitchen and opened a bottle of wine and poured it almost to the top, she rarely drinks anymore during the day, but she was seeing red.
The girls were scared and they thought if they walked innocently through the kitchen, that it would work but seeing the look on their mother's face, it was far from what they thought, they never seen this look before.
"Sit down!" Christine snapped, John was behind her, rubbing her shoulders but she was livid at this point.
"You two are grounded, I want all your cellular devices and everything that means anything valuable to you." John said as Christine stared at them.
"For the last two fucking days, I have listened to you both bitch about every single thing from who gets a turn in the bathroom, to clothes, to you two stealing each other's makeup and I'm tired of it and today, today just takes the fucking cake." Christine said as she just wanted to pop both of her girls across the face.
"Mum?" Olivia questioned.
"You two should not even open your mouths right now! I haven't seen your mum this pissed off since... The Tusk tour and now, I feel like it's dealing with your Uncle Lindsey and Aunt Stevie all over again." John said.
"I'm so bloody mad right now at both of you and what the fuck is going on with you two when your father and I go to bed at night or go to the studio during the day?!" Christine asked.
Silence
The girls were scared to answer, afraid of what might happen.
"Answer your mother, now!" John said, he was a man of few words but after what he heard today, especially after the last part of their argument, it deeply affected Christine and that wound never fully healed.
"I have so many questions and you two better answer me and your father truthfully and do not lie to us or you both won't like what will happen next." Christine said as she sat down, far enough away from her girls, enjoying the neck and shoulder massage her husband was giving her.
"Now, who took the pregnancy test?" John asked his girls.
"It's not mine daddy, I swear." Olivia said as John and Christine looked at Emily.
"It's not mine either." Emily said as Christine rubbed her temple.
"Then who's pregnancy test randomly appears in our bathroom trash can?" Christine questioned.
"I'm on birth control mum." Olivia said.
"I'm not even sexually active." Emily said.
"Girls, I know it's not mine and I haven't taken a pregnancy test since you I found I was expecting you Emily, so it's not mine and it could only belong to you two, so which one of you is it?" Christine asked as Olivia and Emily could not believe their parents would not believe them.
At that moment, Henry walked through the door and ran into the kitchen with his phone stuck between his neck, looking for something.
"Where did you leave at babe? It's not here and I know you're scared but it's okay, we're in this together." Henry said as he dashed up the stairs as John and Christine looked at each other.
"Well, I can only guess what that was about?" Olivia questioned.
"Girls, this talk is not over and it could be a number of things." John said.
"When did Henry get a girlfriend?" Emily questioned.
"It doesn't matter, now the next thing I want to talk to you about Emily is what about this R-rated movie you went to see last weekend and you had a fake ID made?" Christine asked as she looked at her youngest daughter.
"It wasn't anything bad." Emily said.
"Emily, if it's R-rated it means no underage people allowed and who made your fake ID, I want his name, number and address." John said as he was getting upset too as he moved to sit with his wife in his lap.
"Daddy, all the cool kids were going and they asked me if I would like to go see it too, I finally got to be cool for one night where I didn't feel like the nerdy girl who gets called a nerd, they know my name and we had so much fun breaking a couple of rules together." Emily said.
"Emily, I know that being cool seems so much fun but sweetheart, it's becoming a problem. These past few months, we've all noticed your attitude change, your hair and makeup changes and your clothes that we bought you for school aren't good enough for you anymore." John said as he misses the baby years where it was easy to know baby babbles.
"It's hard being a teenage girl in high school, I like having friends for once, it's hard being a loner with no one to talk to." Emily said as John and Christine needed to stay on task and keep going with this meeting, it felt like a band meeting.
"Emily, we'll talk about this later on tonight before I go to bed, I still have a few more questions to talk about." Christine said.
Henry came running into the kitchen, once again.
"Did anyone by chance see some kind of stick somewhere in the bathroom? Sophie forgot it the other night when she was here." Henry asked.
"Henry Graham, sit down please." Christine said.
"Mum, I have to find some kind of stick for Sophie, it's important."
"I've taken enough of those "sticks" to last a life time, sit down and she can wait awhile because I have few things to say to you." Christine said as she was about to get up, Sophie just walked through the front door without knocking as she sat on Henry's lap and they started making out, French kissing at Olivia and Emily were about to throw up.
"Oh gross!" Olivia and Emily said at the same time.
"Excuse me? Who are you?" Christine asked as the young girl smiled.
"I'm Sophie McAllister, I'm Henry's girlfriend, I'm a model and I met this handsome, sexy gentleman at a hotel bar in London, where I was modeling for a lingerie fashion show and we started talking and then, we got really drunk and we went back up to his hotel room because I forgot what hotel room I was in and we had hot, steamy, passionate sex for hours and hours." The young girl said as she looked at the look on John and Christine's faces as well as the girls.
"Ewwww! You could've of just kept it simple and not anything else." Emily said, disgusted.
"I agree with my daughter, for once." Christine said.
"Who is Henry to you guys? He said he lived here by himself with a tall, giant British man named Brick, I think?" Sophie questioned as John and Christine looked at her, then Henry.
"I'm Henry's mother, Christine McVie, this is my husband John and those are our daughters and I'm the the keyboardist and one of the lead vocalists in a band called Fleetwood Mac." Christine said as she smiled, feeling John's hand on her behind.
"I'm Henry's father, John and I'm the lead bass player in Fleetwood Mac, the last part of the band was named after me and this lady right here is my talented, sexy as hell and beautiful wife Christine along with our daughters." John said as Christine felt his hand in between her legs.
"I'm Olivia, I'm the second oldest and those are my parents, John and Christine McVie and that guy right there is my lame of excuse as a man is my oldest brother and this is our baby sister." Olivia said.
"I'm Emily, as you already know my parents, my brother and sister." Emily said.
"The tall, British man you mentioned, his name is Mick and he's our drummer for our band and his last name is Fleetwood." John said as he would call Mick tonight.
"Mum, is the meeting over?" Emily asked.
"Not yet." Christine said as they all groaned.
Author's Note: I had so many ideas for so long that I lost count, so I hope y'all enjoy both stories and every chapter.
