Maddie's Day

Ellie grinned and Punk pouted. "This is unfair. You're replacing me."

"Okayyyy, then I go play." she nodded.

"A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, bud." Scott laughed a little.

"Good girl." Lacy leaned over to kiss Madison's forehead. "Have fun."

"Ridiculous." he said as he shook his head.

"I will." Maddie said as she went to get Ally and Ajay. "Come on guys, let's go play. Mommy, come push me!" Maddie called out.

"Cheer up Punkers, I'll leave you with your boyfriend." she snorted as she went by Maddie.

"Jealous?" Scott smirked. "Aw Punk, I knew you wanted me."

Ally ran off with Ajay and Madison, leaving Brandon alone. He rolled his eyes and went to go hang out with Lacy... jerks..

"Just don't like being replaced." he snorted. "So...things going well for you two?" he asked.

Ellie looked over at Brandon then at Maddie. "Maddie, go ask Brandon to come play. Don't be mean."

Maddie sighed and nodded. If Brandon did the same, she wouldn't like that. She walked back over to him. "Brandon...do you uh...wanna play with us?"

"I'd like to think so." He laughed a little. "she thought I'd be weirded out if AJ and Jeff showed up today."

Brandon glanced at Madison, raising an eyebrow at the fact that she would even be talking to him. "Um.. n--"

"Brandon." Lacy said warningly. "Go play."

He let out a small sigh and nodded, hopping off of the bed and going to play with them.

He nodded. "Well, it still is tough for AJ I think, to see her around with another guy. Well at least she felt that way after she talked to him." he shrugged. "But she shouldn't worry about that, it's not like anything will happen..if they even show up this time." he snorted.

Maddie went back to Ellie with Brandon. "Hey Brandon." Ellie smiled. "Wanna go on the swings? I'll push you and Maddie."

Scott laughed a little at Punk's comment. "I take it he's not anyone's favorite guy."

Sit by Maddie? Hmm, no. "I push Ally."

Allison scoffed. "I didn't do anything to you!"

"I meant push you on the SWING." Brandon said, exasperated.

Punk shrugged. "He's a nice guy and I get along with him...but when it came to his wife and kids...it was more like a once a month visit type of thing." he said. "I mean, I know Lacy and I had our problems with the travel, but I always made time for them."

Ellie chuckled. "Fine, then push Ally on the swing."

Which is why they almost got divorced, right? Because Punk always made time lol. Scott kept that comment to himself. "Well, she asked if I was gonna stick around when we started dating. I guess she thought I was going to do the same thing to her that he did."

"Get up on the swing, Ally." Brandon told her.

"You gonna push me off." Allison glanced at him warily.

Punk thought Scott was a jerk, but kept that comment to himself too Punk nodded. "Must be it. Meh, I don't talk to her much about stuff like that...but I heard stuff from when she talked to Lacy. She's better with you." he chuckled.

"I'll make sure he doesn't." Ellie told her as she pushed Madison and Ajay.

"Well now that I have your blessings and approval." Scott gave him a sarcastic smirk.

"Okayyy..." Allison held on for dear life as Brandon pushed her. lol

He snorted. "Just saying...it's nice to see uh...them happy, I guess...whatever." Punk hated being like that, lol. "Don't fuck it up." Ah, there he goes. Much better. Of course he meant it in a nice way though.

Ellie chuckled. "Just don't push her too hard Brandon."

"Don't get too mushy on me now." Scott snorted. "You must smother Lacy with affection," he said sarcastically.

"I do." he smirked. "Others...meh."

Ajay had uh...ran away from Maddie and everybody else...so he popped up by Colt and Punk, really from out of nowhere. "Hi Scottyyyy and Punk." he giggled. "I come stay with the men." he nodded. "I man."

Scott laughed and leaned down to pick Ajay up. "Hm, I don't know Punk. Do you think he's a man? He's kinda small?"

"Hm...well let me see those muscles." Punk told Ajay.

Ajay flexed his "muscles" and pointed at them. "I got a lottttt of muscles."

Punk smirked a bit and nodded. "My god, you're a man for sure."

"How did you get those muscles, man?" Scott asked, 'astonished'.

"I go to the gym with Mommy." he grinned. He stayed in the kid room while Ellie worked out, but same thing. "And I do push ups and all that hard stuff."

"Man, can we work out with you? We want guns like yours."

"Well I gotta ask Mommy if you guys can come, but I say yes." he nodded.

"Oh man, we're gonna have big muscles just like you." Punk said.

"Mhm, a lot of work."

"I wanna be like Ajay when I grow up." Scott joked.

"Me too. It is going to be awesome.' Punk said.

"You already grow up." Ajay giggled.

"Nah, we're just really tall." Scott joked, tickling him lightly.

Ajay laughed as Colt tickled him. "Scotty." he giggled.
