May These Noises Startle You In Your Sleep

Marie's POV
It was nice telling Jaime about my past. I normally don't tell a lot of people about my past, let alone the whole situation with Minnie. I'm not ashamed it's just I don't talk to anyone else in my family except my Mom and I have to admit that I really do miss my Dad and Brothers and yes I know I'm a bad person for not wanting to be around Mini but it's only because I don't know how she's doing with her problems and right now I have my own that I need to take care of. It's nice being able to just hang out with Jaime today, and I can already tell that Ashes and Jaime are in love with each other. But not in a weird way though. I can tell that when Ash is around Jaime she can be as crazy and wild as he is. But I'm also glad that Jaime listened instead of being judgmental like he could've been. Anyways I'm also glad that I can spend some time with Ashes and Jaime, but I want to know why Vic had ignored me today. I understand that he had a headache but I knew that he heard me because he then got up and waked away and passed right beside me. I don't think it could've been the whole 'have a kid that I kept hidden for the most part' but again it's not their worry so why should he be mad at me for that? But before I could answer my own question Ashes had snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Mommy are you okay?" Ashley asked with a bit of concern written on her little face.
"Yes honey I'm fine. You happy that you get to hang out with Jaime?" I asked her with a big smile on my face.
"Yes I am I think he's my favorite one." She said with a happy sigh. After she said that it's as if Jaime knew that she said his name, he had came skipping down the stairs with a smile on his face like usual.
"'We all ready to go swim?" I had asked aloud to everyone. Jaime had nodded and had picked up Ashes and had headed towards the sliding glass door that lead outside to the pool. I'm glad that Ashes has him to hangout with.
"Ashley Louise get you're butt out of the deep end! And you know I always see what you do even with my back turned." I had yelled to Ashes. I know that Jaime's out there with her and I trust him it's just I always worry about Ashley. Also the whole story about Moms having eyes in the back of their head is something I like to tell to Ash because it seems to get her to stop doing bad things so I just go with it.
"Marie come on out were waiting for you." Jaime called to me. I wonder why I'm still in the house but I guess it's because I've been caught up in my own thoughts about some stuff that's been happening. But for now I'm just going to put it aside and have fun with my daughter and Jaime. I see him and her now floating around in the shallow end and I walk out and head straight for the diving board and do a flip off of it making sure I make a big splash into the deep end just to show off for Ashes. Once I resurface I see Ashes and Jaime's faces in awe whilst Ashes claps as hard as she can like her little life depended on it. I swam towards them then I just swim around with her and Jaime.

Vic's POV
I can't believe that Marie would hide such a big thing from me I mean from us. I shouldn't be mad at her but when was she going to tell me? When she really had to? I love children don't get me wrong it's just I can't believe she just sprung that on us the way she did. But I guess she didn't have a choice she did say that her Mom had called her and all but I cant help but feel a bit of betrayal? Or maybe I feel deceived about all of this. I don't know but I don't like the feeling and I don't like ignoring her like I'm 5 just because I am angry. But besides all of my selfishness Ashley was adorable and was just as beautiful as Marie and I can't believe that Marie is a student and a single mother all at once. I mean I'm 31 and still act like a child I couldn't think of taking care of another one, and by another I mean I would take care of Mike when we were younger but now it's like with age I've gotten more immature sometimes. But I need to grow up and respect Marie and Ashley.
But something that does make me jealous is that Jaime had asked Marie to hang out with her and Ashes. I had heard what he said to her when I left the room so I guess Mike was right about me eavesdropping on peoples conversations. It's like Jaime just wants to swoop in and try to get Marie back. But I know a way to get her back I just need to talk to Mike and Tony about it. When I get into the living room Mike and Tony are somewhat cuddled into each other with a blanket covering them whilst watching television. I walk into the room and clear my throat to get there attention.
"Vic why the hell is the house so damn cold?" Mike asked when he heard me clear my throat.
"I don't know I'll fix that in a moment. But why the hell are you two like that?" I asked confused.
"It's cold and I'm lazy and I didn't want to get more blankets so me and Tone kinda ended up like this." Mike said with a shrug. Tony just looked at me and nodded with Mike's explanation.
"Okay whatever but I need to talk to you two about something important." I say as I plopped down on the other couch.
"Sure Vic what's up?" Tony says as he sits up from between Mike's legs. It's normal for us to do stuff like this, were all comfortable with it so we don't care.
"Well it's about Marie and Ashley and my reaction to the whole thing." I said to Tony. Out the corner of my eye I seen Mike roll his eyes at my statement. Tony slightly elbowed Mike in his stomach and Mike let out a little noise in response then he moved so he was facing towards me too.
"Well Vic I think Marie might be a bit upset because the guy who acts like he likes her just acted like a big douche when she had said something that she was nervous about." Mike stated matter-of-factly.
"I don't like to say that Mike's right but I have to. Mike's right Vic and you know he is. I mean yeah she surprised us with something that's big and very important in her life and then it's like you just shut down and act like she wasn't even there. I know you Vic and I know how you're feeling but you don't need to act like this you're a semi grown man and you need to act like you have some common senesce and emotions. How do you think Marie felt when you ignored her because you 're mad that she hid something that we might not approve of? Hmm did you even think of how she might feel Victor?" Tony had said to me but when he said my name it was dripping with venom. But I know why he said that to me. It's because I didn't really think about how she felt I was only thinking about me.
"No I didn't Tony." I mumble quietly
"Well why don't you make it up to her. And apologize to her about you're reaction and just talk to her about everything." Mike said to me.
"Well smart one what do you have in mind/" I snapped at Mike.
"Hey dipshit don't get bitchy with me! I'm only helping since you might loose her or even worse make her pissed at all of us!" Mike's loud voice boomed throughout the quiet house.
"Mikey calm down. And Vic why don't you plan a dinner date and get to know her more or at least tell her you're sorry and talk to her about Ashes." Tony's calm soft voice said.
"Well why if I was to do something with her and Ashes?" I asked Tony.
"Why yes Victor that would be good. So why don't you take them out to lunch since Jaime texted me and said that they're on their way back , and after that go to either the aquarium or the really nice park down the street?" Tony suggested. And now I think I know what I'm going to do. And with that I get up and go to get dressed but not before I tell Mike that I'm sorry.
"Humph sure you are." Mike pouted like a child. Tony again elbowed Mike.
"Ugh fine I forgive you Vic and I'm sorry too." Mike said after he smacked Tony in the back of the head lightly. All I did was nod and chuckle then walk away to get ready for my good plan that Tony had given me.
