Memorial Fundraiser Event

Bob Hughes was in Reid's office telling him he really was expected to be at this Event this evening. He was going on, and on, and Reid really didn't think he had to go, and he really didn't want to go because Luke, and his family were going to be there. He could see Luke and Noah together in his head, and it almost made him sick. He was trying to get over Luke but it was hard because Luke was the only man he could say he had fallen in love with. Katie, and Chris were going, and they said he could go with them. Reid finally had enough of Bob's lecture he stood up, and said.

'Fine I will go if you leave me alone, I have lots of work to do"

"You are not just saying that are you"?

"Me no I said I will be there only for the food by the way"

"Well there will be plenty of food, I will see you there Reid"

"Joy" Bob left Reid sat down, and was flipping through the papers he was not happy but he was going to be a man of his word. It was 4, and Reid grabbed his bag, and jacket, and left to go home. He thought he would have a hour sleep before getting a shower, and go to this dinner tonight. He drove home, and saw Chris's car in the driveway. He parked behind him, and got out of the car, and went inside. Katie, Chris, and Jacob were on the couch laughing, and Reid shut the door hanging his coat up on the coat rack.

Chris turned, "Hey you are home early"?

"I could say the same for you do you work Chris"?

"Yes I took the afternoon off to spend some time here with my girl. My Dad called to say you are coming to the Dinner tonight he is real happy. There is going to be a lot of important people there, and we need to be on our best behaviour"

"Your Dad said that who the Hell does he think he is"?

Katie got up, and walked over trying to calm Reid down.

"Chris is leaving out he told him to be on his best behaviour too. He didn't mention you Chris is just bugging you. I am so happy you are coming the babysitter is going to be here about 6:30 so you can drive with us"

"Fine I was going to take a nap maybe you can wake me in one hour"

"Nap are you a baby we were thinking you could sit with Jacob for a little bit while we take a little drive" Chris said

"You can't take Jacob with you"?

"Well we could but since you are home he would love to spend time with his favourite Uncle" Chris got up bringing Jacob over, and he put his hands out to Reid, and Reid could not resist he took Jacob in his arms, and smiled.

"See he love you"

"I know he does go but don't be to long"

Katie and Chris grab their things, and leave as Reid locked the door, and he walked over sitting down with Jacob on his lap.

'Buddy how about we both have a nap would you like that"?

Jacob giggled, and Reid could see he was wide awake he was not going to nap. He got up going to the kitchen, and put Jacob in the highchair as he went over, and got them both a bowl of ice cream. Jacob's eyes lite up Reid smiled he was just like him when it came to food. Reid put the bowl in front of Jacob, and laughed as Jacob got more ice cream on himself than in his mouth. Reid was eating, and he looked over at Jacob, and said.

"I know Mommy would say giving you ice cream before dinner is wrong but I love spoiling my Buddy"

"Yum" Jacob said giggling

"Yes Yum" Reid cleaned up Jacob face, and hands, and put the bowls in the dishwasher. He lifted him up, and they walked out to the living room, and sat down.

"What would you like to do now"?

"Arthur"

"Oh man that show Buddy you are killing me"

"Arthur"

Reid got up grabbing Jacob's favourite Arthur DVD, and put it in, and he sat down while Jacob cuddled into him. Reid was watching the show but his eyes became sleepy, and he fell asleep holding Jacob in his arms.

[Sanda]

Great start to your new story Jessie.I feel bad for Reid becuase he going to have to see Luke and Noah together at the Memorial Fundraiser Event. I would love to be Reid's date at the Memorial Fundraiser Event to help him not want to kill Noah and Luke when he sees them together at the Fundraiser. I love that Reid is babysitting Jacob in this story and that he fell asleep while holding Jacob who is watching Arthur on the TV. I hope you update this awesome story again.

Chapter 2

Reid was asleep Jacob was snuggled in his arms while Jacob pointed to the TV.

"Arthur" Jacob looked at Reid, and giggled as he watched Reid sleeping. It wasn't until Reid heard knocking at the door did he wake up. He was a little freaked out he never fell asleep while looking after Jacob. He lifted Jacob up who was a little disturbed he was being taken away from his favourite show. Reid heard knocking again, and he yelled.

"Hold your horses I am coming" He opened the door, and smiled as Sanda from next door was standing there as Jacob put his hands out to her. Sanda has babysat him a lot, and Jacob loved her but tonight she was not here for babysitting she came over to borrow a flashlight because her hydro went out, and she needed to check the fuse box but she could not find her flashlight.

"Hold Jacob for a minute, I will find a flashlight for you why did your hydro go out ours is fine"?

"Don't know I think maybe one of my fuses are gone out or something worse which I hope not because I hate being in a dark house at night"

Sanda was holding Jacob when Reid walked over with the flashlight but he asked her if could help her"

"Would you mind I hate going in the basement when the lights are out my mind plays tricks on me. I have a feeling Tegan is freaking out he hates the dark too"

Reid grabbed his jacket than he helped Sanda put on Jacob's jacket as they walked over to her house, and went inside. Sanda told Reid the fuse box was in the basement right at the bottom of the stairs. Reid knew where because her layout of her house was pretty much the same as Katie's. He walked downstairs, and was checking the box, and there was a fuse blown so he replaced it, and flipped the light switch, and it went on. He heard Sanda yell from upstairs saying the lights just went on. Reid walked upstairs, and Sanda asked him if he would like a coffee before going back home.

"Sure I have some time, I have to go out tonight, and I am not looking forward to it." Jacob saw Tegan, and was giggling saying, "Cat, look Cat"

"Yes it is Tegan sweetie".

Jacob tried to say Tegan he tried but it sounded funny making Sanda and Reid smile. They went to the kitchen they took Jacob's coat off, and Sanda handed Reid Jacob as he sat while she made a coffee for them. She got a juice cup, and poured it for Jacob.

"You have to go out tonight you have to work or is it a date"?

"No I would rather work than go to some boring  fundraiser where you have to pretend you are enjoying yourself"

"Sounds like fun why wouldn't you want to go"?

"Well maybe seeing Luke there with his boyfriend will make me feel like crap. I just hate going to parties, and events it is just not fun seeing couples having fun, and I'm there all alone"

"I know how you feel but I enjoy parties but I hate being alone too"

"You are not dating Sanda, I thought you had a boyfriend Katie said you did"

"We didn't work out it is for the best , I don't believe in staying with someone you know is not the right person for you"

"Yeah I wish everyone felt that way"

Sanda brought the coffees over, and some cookies as she sat down. "You cared for this Luke fellow didn't you"?

"I guess I did I was a fool"

"No he is the fool,  sorry you got hurt"

Reid smiled as Jacob grabbed a cookie, and started eating it as Reid was drinking his coffee. Sanda how would you like to join me tonight it might be fun having someone I can hang out with"

"You want to take me"?

"Yes if you are free you would have to be ready about 6:30 Katie and Chris are going to drive us there"

Sanda smiled, "I would love to join you it sounds like fun"

Reid smiled as Jacob whispered, "Good Cookie"

Sanda laughed as Reid told him he could have one more only. Jacob took it as Reid finished his coffee, and than he got up saying he better get going but he will be over to pick her up around 6:30.

'I will be ready"

"Great" She gave Jacob a kiss as they left, and Sanda shut the door, and picked up Tegan , and said.

"Mommy is going on a date, I know he is gay, but he is so sweet". She gave Tegan a hug as she ran upstairs to see what she could wear to the fundraiser.

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. Reid, Jacob, Sanda, and Tegan are so cute and adorable together in this chapter. I love the friendship between the four of them. I especially love that Tegan and I babysit Jacob for Katie, Reid, and Chris. I really love that Sanda and Reid are going out on a date to the fundraiser even though Reid is gay. I love how excited that I am that I am going out on a date with Reid even though he is gay. I hope you update this story again really soon. This update made me smile big time tonight girl.

Chapter 3

Sanda was going through her closet she had so many nice dresses but nothing felt perfect to her. She knew she was being silly she grabbed the pink dress, and put it up against her, and looked in the mirror. She knew it looked good she was just being fussy she hung it on the door. She went and took a shower as Tegan laid beside her on the rug by the tub. She had to laugh he always peeked in at her. She washed herself and than washed her hair she turned off the shower, and got out drying herself off. She blow dried her hair, and she went into the bedroom sitting on the bed as Tegan jumped up beside her. She still had another 2 hours to go so she didn't want to get her dress wrinkled so she snuggled with Tegan for awhile. He was always there for her when she was lonely or just needed someone to listen to her. She knew people would call her crazy for talking to her cat but she knew he understood. She laid there for 20 minutes than ran to the bathroom to try, and figure out how she could do her hair. Tegan looked at her, and went back to sleep as she was getting ready.

Reid was sitting on the couch when Katie and Chris came into the house. Katie walked over lifting Jacob up asking him if he was good?

"He was great but I had to watch Arthur twice. I swear I know that show word for word and that is scary. I never watched cartoons as a child"

Chris laughed, "Really I did I loved the Flintstones, Jetson's , Scooby Doo, and so many others"

Reid laughed, "That doesn't surprise me Katie said you love cartoons as much as Jacob does"

"Reid Oliver I told you that in confidence"

"Oh sorry but guess what I have a date for tonight's Fundraiser"

"You do is it with Luke"?

"No Sanda next door she came over her hydro was out. I helped her put a new fuse in, and I asked her to be my date"

Katie smiled, "Great we better get ready I knew you were going to come. We are going to drop Jacob over at Margo and Tom's they are going to babysit"

"Ok I am going to take a shower because Chris always takes all the hot water". Katie smiled as Reid went to take a shower as Chris and Katie sat on the couch playing with Jacob for a few minutes.

"Wild Reid asked Sanda out on a date"

"Wild why"?

"Reid is gay, and Sanda isn't"

"Stop they could be friends and I am glad Sanda is going out. She is so sweet and she deserves to have a little fun. I am going to get Jacob's bag ready you stay with him, and watch some TV. You can have a shower after me". Katie left and Chris smiled at Jacob asking him what he wanted to watch?

Jacob smiled, "Arthur"

"How about Flintstones"?

"No Arthur"

"Arthur it is but will you ever get sick of this show Jacob"?

"No"

Chris laughed as he put it on for him, and they watched it together.

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie, Sanda and Tegan are so cute and adorable together getting ready for Sanda's date with Reid. I loved the conversation between Reid, Chris, and Katie in this chapter as well. I love that Reid told Chris in front of Katie that she told that Chris loves cartoon even though Katie told Reid that in confidence. I especially love that Jacob roped Chris into watching Arthur again even though Chris loves to watch other cartoons besides Arthur. This chapter made me big time after the sad last few days I have had. I hope you update this story again soon. Thank you so much adding me and Tegan to this story.
