Chapter 12 | Reunion

Stephanie POV

    I hold Stella and Sander's hands as we sprint through the crowd. Our suitcases were all clutched in Stephen's hands, dragging along the smooth floor. We followed Stephen Jr. at a mighty speed. I hear the cops talking on their radio and I start to worry.

What if we get arrested??

What if this will ruin my kid's reputation??

What if people think we are criminals or actual psychos???

WHAT IF WHAT IF WHAT IF WHAT IF WHAT-

AW FUCK IT WHO GIVES A SHIT!? IM STEPHANIE NG THE CRAZIEST BITCH ALIVE!

"Mommy!! I'm getting tired!!!" Stella wails.

"It's ok kid you got this!" I exclaim.

I accelerate at immense speed. People watch as we run by, judging. But I'm driven to win. So, I give them a death glare and stick out my tongue. I look up. We are nearing the gate! I look at Stephen and we both exchange a smile. Almost there! But then...

     CRASH!

     We topple down onto the floor. I slowly open my eyes and... I'm on a pile of bodies?

     "Oh my god you guys..."

"IS THAT YOU DANNY!? DIANE!?"

"MOMMY SOMEONE'S FOOT IS IN MY EAR!"

"Damn, my head hurts..."

I hear tons of voices speaking. I get off and see that it's Hosuh and Dan and Dakota's family! I'm about to say hi but then....

"STOP RIGHT THERE!"

oh shi-

     Me, Stephen, Daniel, and Dakota shamefully walk out of the police station. The kids talk with Danny and Dianne while us four follow Hosuh to the van without saying a word.

     "You're lucky I was able to bail you guys out... You guys can be so extra sometimes..." Hosuh sighs.

     "Thank you so much Hosuh, my bestest bud!" Stephen exclaims as he calls shotgun. Hosuh rolls his eyes and starts the car. I buckle up the kids and then immediately turn to Dakota and give her the biggest hug. She smiles and returns it.

     "So how was your flight?" Dakota asks.

     I smirk. "Stephen kept on snoring and drooling on me..."

     "Ew, sounds a lot like Dan."

     "Last week he forgot his lunch and had to bring it to school for him."

     "How did we marry such idiots?" She jokes.

     "We can hear ya you know!" They scream.

We listen to some K-POP music as we drive to Hosuh's house. Holli had texted the groupchat that Izuku and Kagome were super siked and practically jumping around the house. Stephen Jr, Sander, Diane, and Danny blabbered about modern gibberish 2nd graders talk about these days.

I look over and see Stella reading her Top 10 Famous Magicians book all alone. Izuku and her have their own little book club meeting every time they meet each other and it's kind of cute.

Stephen turns around in his seat and says to the kids, "Oh and guys, I'm going to introduce you guys to my friend Jasper. He lives only a couple minutes away from Hosuh's house. Also Steph, did you know that blonde you tutored like 8 years ago is his sister now?"

     My eyes widen. My mind goes back to my first tutor session with the blonde named Rebecca. She was a big bitch at first I had to admit. Stubborn and rude. But it turned out her mother and dad had just gotten into a divorce and she didn't know how to deal with it. After all our sessions, I turned into her therapist rather than her tutor.

     "That's great! I'd like to meet them again," I grin.

     We pull up to Hosuh's ENORMOUS house and hop out the car. I help unload the luggage and bring it into the house. I knock on the door and hear shuffling and fiddling. The door finally breaks open to reveal Holli and Kagome smiling widely.

"Hey guys! It's great to see you guys again!" Holli exclaimed and pulled us girls into a group hug. A little too tightly.

"I-It's nice to s-see you too! B-But I n-need air," I gasped.

"Oh sorry!" She let go. "Alright! Follow me and I'll show you guys to your rooms!"

We follow her into their glorious home and gasp at how grand it looks. They practically live in a mansion!

"Um Aunt Holli, where's Izuku?" Stella asks.

"Oh! He's in his room drawing. You can knock on his door and say hi," Holli says. Stella nods and scurries upstairs.

     We set our things down and I collapse onto the bed, super tired. It's going to be weird recording a video again. I wonder what our topic will be...

     "DISNEY!!!" Stephen Jr. hollars as he tackles me.

     Of course! That's a perfect idea! I grin and hug Stephen Jr. who gives me a confused look. Who then sprints out of the room and disappears.

I open up my laptop and book tickets for a flight from Montreal to California for 13 people. Hoohohoh, this is gonna be fun! After I pay for the tickets, I hook up to Hosuh's printer to print the tickets. Then, I stuff them inside my pocket and head downstairs.

Dan, Hosuh, and Stephen were all sitting outside on the porch catching up. Don't want to be involved with that. I join the other ladies who were making some food and sat down at a table grabbing an apple to snack on.

     "So watcha guys making?" I ask.

     "Mac and cheese," Holli answers while stirring the pot.

     "I'm making some cupcakes," Dakota points to the batter bowl.

      My mouth begins to water at all the yummy food. I round up all the kids and sit them down at the dining table. The guys come out of the porch... crying?

     "Woahhh, what happened to you guys?" I ask.

     "We're just happy to see each other again, uwu," Dan says wiping his eye with his shirt.

     I roll my eyes at the cheesiness and take my seat. I look over at the kids. Stephen Jr. kept flirting with Kagome and blowing her kisses. Next to them is Izuku and Stella who were buzzing about Stella's magician book. Did I see a tiny hint of blush on her cheek?

     And Danny, Diane, and Sander were watching some videos on the iPad. I hear the kids burst into laughter. I lean over to take a glimpse of what they are watching.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

     I grin and chuckle. They're watching our old videos... Dakota comes over and joins in. Her eyes widen and she smiles.

     "Whoa! You guys are watching DanPlan nice!" She exclaims.

     "Yeah! Dad, Uncle Stephen, Uncle Hosuh, and Uncle Jay are so cool!" Diane cheers with a sparkle in her eye.

     "Y'know, you guys can make your own videos," Dakota says. "The whole crew's going to start recording again!"

     They all turned with an excited expression on their faces. "Really!?" They scream.

     "Hell yah!" I pump my first in the air.

The rest of the guys sit down, which ended up with Dan and Stephen sharing a seat due to space. Holli sets down a big pot of ooey, gooey, mac and cheese (gah im drooling while writing this).

"Here's the-" Holli starts to say but we soon cut her off with barbarian screaming. I grab my spoon and scoop as much as I can. Stephen starts to push me and I smack him. I fight my way through for a scoops until my bowl is full. I hum in delight as I taste it. It's sooo good!!

     Then we started to debate about why mayonnaise is an instrument. Which ended up with Stephen and I splattering mayo all over the table. Oops.

     "Hey you guys wanna go to Disney?" I ask. Everyone turns towards me. Stephen and our kid's eyes lighten up and grinned excitedly.

     "Why?" Hosuh asks as he cleans off Izuku and Kagome.

     "For YouTube!" I say. "It could be our coming back video. Since we all are grown-ups with semi-successful careers and kids, I think we can do this!"

     Holli and Hosuh exchange a look of worry. The last time we took a vacation all together we couldn't get into our hotel so we had to sleep in the van which was NOT fun. Also Stephen Jr. created a buttload of chaos.

     "Well I think it's an awesome idea... don't you think so guys?" Diane asks the other kids. They give her a thumbs up. "I can show off my vlogging skills."

    Holli sighs. "Ok, ok, ok, fine. It's just that we have to have a plan for this. We can't just leave tomor-"

I grin mischievously and pull out the tickets from my pocket. "Oh I've got a plan don't worry. And yes, we ARE leaving tomorrow. Well, tomorrow night."

Hosuh groans and slaps his forehead. Daniel and Dakota high five me and cheet. My kids and Stephen go absolutely berserk. They run around the living room chanting, "BUBBLE WANDS BUBBLE WANDS BUBBLE WANDS BUBBLE WANDS!"

The night ended crazy but I was happy to be with the gang once again. I wonder how the trip will turn out like...

I turn to my left to see my kids sleeping softly (well except for Stephen Jr.) I run my fingers through their hair and kiss them softly on the cheek.

I then turn to my side and see Stephen curled up beside me. I kiss the tip of his nose and snuggle into his chest. He shifts and wraps his arms around me, making me smile. Maybe he can be cute sometimes...
