Chapter 21 - The Van Pattens



The kids returned to school on Monday and things returned to normal.  That was until Thursday afternoon, when I got an unexpected call from Eric's mother. 

"Hi, it's Amanda Van Patten and I'm calling to clear something up.  Eric told me Evan wants him to spend the night sometime, possibly this weekend?"

"Evan has mentioned that he'd like Eric to stay over sometime, but as far as I know there hasn't been any date discussed for when that might happen," I replied.  "I told him you'd probably like to get to know us better before letting Eric spend the night, but he's impatient, like most kids." 

"Yes, that's what I figured, and you're right, I would like to get to know all of you first, before I let Eric do something like that." 

"Just as we suspected.  If you'd like, you could come over sometime this weekend and meet Evan's parents.  The boys could play while we talked, and then one of us could show you around the house." 

"That would definitely be helpful, because I know Eric is going to keep bugging me about this." 

"Yes, just like Evan is doing with us.  Would Saturday afternoon work for you?" 

"That would be fine.  Would 2:00 be convenient?" 

"Yes, so I'll let Brad and Pam know too.  We'll be expecting you then." 

I knew Evan was excited about possibly having Eric stay over, but to my knowledge Pam had never given him the ok for it to happen.  Now, he was chomping at the bit and had mentioned it to Eric, who in turn mentioned it to his mother.  Now, I'd have to sit down with Brad and Pam so I could explain this to them. 

When the kids got home from school, I pulled Evan aside and confronted him about this.  "Evan, did you ask Eric to stay over tomorrow night?" 

He looked up at me, his eyes open as far as they would go, which made him look scared.  "I just told him maybe he could stay over with me sometime." 

"So you didn't ask him to stay over this weekend?" 

"I don't think so.  I just said maybe he could come home with me some Friday and stay most of Saturday too." 

After hearing his answer, I concluded it might have just been a harmless discussion that Eric had misunderstood.  In a way, it might have been a good thing that it happened, though, because now Brad and Pam would get to meet Amanda too. 

After dinner, I asked to speak with Brad and Pam alone.  First of all, I explained about the phone call from Amanda, and then I told them about inviting her to visit. 

"That's fine, because I want to meet her too," Pam quickly agreed.  "If our sons are going to be playing with each other, I want to know what she and her husband are like first." 

"I'll be here as well, but I'll let you two handle things," Brad chimed in.  "I'm sure her husband probably feels the same way." 

"She didn't mention that he'd be coming with them, so you might be right," I confirmed.  "However, I think both Evan and Eric are hoping this goes well so they'll be able to start playing together." 

"I have no doubt about that," Brad agreed. 

Once that had been agreed to, we went to spend time with the kids.  While we were doing that, we mentioned to them about the visit. 

"Evan's friend, Eric, will be coming over on Saturday with his mother, so they can meet all of us," Pam began.  "That means tomorrow night and Saturday morning I want you to help me make sure the house is clean and everything looks nice so we can show them around." 

I knew Evan and Reid wouldn't have a problem helping out, because Evan wanted to make sure Eric could come over, and Reid wanted it to happen too.  I was just hoping that Ashley would chip in as well, even though she didn't have anything to gain from doing this.  Hopefully, she'd do it just to help her mother out. 

That night during our shower, Reid had a lot to say.  "I'm really glad that Evan's friend might start spending some time with him.  Then, he'll stopping wanting to do stuff with us." 

"Maybe to a certain extent, but I think you heard him tell me that he wants me to give them a bath together." 

"Yeah, but that doesn't take very long, so it's not as bad as having Evan hanging around all the time or wanting to sleep with us." 

"Yes, it won't be that bad, so I'm glad you understand that I might have to do some things with him."

"But you're not going to shower with them, right?" 

"No, I don't think that would be a good idea." 

"K, I was just wondering if we'd all end up showering together." 

"No, there's too great a chance that accusations might be made if it was discovered that I was naked in the shower with them." 

"Yeah, I guess so." 

After we finished, we dried off and then Reid and I cuddled together in bed.  No matter how much I enjoyed doing this with him, I was still amazed that he'd been able to convince his parents to let him sleep with me every night.  I wasn't about to complain or question this, though, because I realized I probably wouldn't be able to sleep without him beside me now.

I spent most of the day Friday cleaning my apartment, the kitchen, and other parts of the house.  Then, after dinner, Pam and I supervised the kids to make sure their rooms were clean and organized.  Reid's wasn't too bad, since he hardly spent any time there, so I helped Evan vacuum, dust, and straighten his room, while Pam did the same with Ashley. 

When I showered with Evan and Reid that night, Evan was nearly beside himself with excitement.  "I can't wait for Eric to get here tomorrow.  He said we can play while our mommies talk." 

"Yes, I think that's what has been agreed to."

"When do you think he can stay over?" 

"I'm not sure.  Maybe we can discuss that with Eric's mother while she's here." 

"K, but I hope it's soon." 

When we finished our shower, I dried us all off quickly, helped Evan get into his pajamas and then took him up to his room and tucked him in.  He was still very excited thinking about Eric coming here the following day, so I hoped he calmed down quickly and was able to get some sleep. 

The next morning, we finished getting the house ready before Evan and Ashley went to watch their Saturday shows.  They only stopped when they were called out for lunch, and then Pam asked the kids to get cleaned up and dressed before our guests arrived, since they were still in their pajamas.  We were all looking our best when the doorbell rang shortly after 2:00. 

"Hello, I'm Pam.  Welcome to our home and please come in." she greeted our visitors at the door. 

"Hi, I'm Amanda, and I want to thank you for inviting us.  This is Eric, and I hope you don't mind that I brought my daughter, Rylee, too, since my husband is out helping a friend."

"No, that's fine and Rylee appears to be close to my daughter's age.  I'll introduce her and the others to you in a minute." 

"I've already met your other children, but Rylee hasn't.  That's one reason why I didn't think it would be a problem if she came with us." 

"It's nice to meet you too, Rylee.  How old are you?"

"I'm nine, but I'll be ten in March." 

"Then let's go meet the others.  My daughter, Ashley, is ten, but she'll turn eleven in April, so she's only a year older than you." 

"Mommy, can I take Eric up to my room to play?" Evan asked. 

"Let's introduce him to everyone else first, and then you can do that." 

Evan didn't want to wait, but he knew better than to argue.  Therefore, they all followed Pam as she led them to the family room.  "I think you've all have met Quinn, but this is my husband, Brad, my daughter, Ashley, and my other son, Reid." 

Pam then introduced Amanda and the children to her family.  Ashley's eyes immediately lit up when she was introduced to Rylee and learned her age.  As soon as the introductions had been made, Evan took off with Eric, and then Ashley asked if she could show Rylee her room.  Once that had been agreed to, they also took off, leaving the rest of us to chat. 

Pam then told Amanda a little about the family, including me, and then Amanda reciprocated by telling us about her family.  After we got to know each other better, Pam took Amanda on a tour of the house, while Brad, Reid, and I decided to watch a college football game on TV.  We did that until the women returned, and then we turned down the volume and stopped to chat with them a little more. 

"You have a lovely home, and both of my children seem to be getting along very well with your children, so I think this will work out splendidly," Amanda stated. 

"I think so too," Pam concurred. 

"And Evan tells me that he spends quite a bit of time with you, Quinn.  I take it you're close with all of the children?" Amanda followed. 

"Yes, I watch them while their parents are at work, since I work from home.  That means I'm with them quite a bit." 

"I had a feeling, since Evan mentioned you a lot.  He seems very fond of you." 

"As I am of him." 

"Then you wouldn't mind if he included Eric in on the time he spends with you?" 

"No, that would be fine.  Evan, Reid, and I often do things together, so adding one more won't be a problem at all." 

"I'm glad to hear that.  My husband is involved in a great many things, so unfortunately he doesn't spend much time at home.  I think Eric will enjoy being around another man who actually pays attention to him." 

"Brad and I will definitely do our best then," I agreed for both of us, with Brad nodding in agreement. 

"That would be wonderful."

We then spent the next half hour chatting with Amanda, when Evan and Eric burst into the room.  "When can Eric stay over with me?" Evan practically demanded. 

"Soon, but not today," Amanda answered.  "In fact, I have an idea and a favor to ask of you.  My husband and I have been invited to a Christmas party two weeks from tonight with the people he works with.  If you wouldn't mind, do you think Eric and Rylee might be able to stay over then?  If you're willing, then Evan and Ashley can stay with us next weekend." 

Brad and Pam looked at each other and communicated non-verbally first, before Pam answered.  "If you want, then Quinn could bring Evan and Ashley to your house next Friday and they can stay until Saturday.  As for the following weekend, Quinn can either pick up your children after school on Friday or you can drop them off early Saturday afternoon, and then they can stay until Sunday, if that's alright with you." 

"Actually, it would work out wonderfully if you wouldn't mind them coming here on Friday.  It would give me time to do some Christmas shopping without them first, and then Bob and I can go to the party the following night." 

Seeing that had been agreed to, Amanda was ready to leave, so Pam asked Reid to run upstairs and have Ashley and Rylee come down.  When they did, the two mothers attempted to find out how they'd hit it off. 

"Did you have fun?" Amanda asked Rylee. 

"Yes, we played with Ashley's dolls," Rylee answered with a grin. 

"We were just talking about maybe having Ashley and Evan go to your house to stay over next weekend, and then you two would stay with us the weekend after that.  Would you like to do that?" 

"Yes," both girls squealed excitedly.  It was apparent they got along well with each other and were enthusiastic about having another girl to hang out with. 

After the Van Pattens left, Pam and I sat down with Evan and Ashley to talk with them about a few things, while Brad and Reid went back to watching the football game. 

"I'm glad both of you have found someone you like to hang out with," Pam began, "but I also want you to know that I expect you to be on your best behavior when you're with them.  If I get any bad reports while you're staying at their house, or if we have any problems when they stay here, then we might just have to stop allowing you to hang out with each other." 

"Don't worry.  We won't let that happen," Ashley assured her mother. 

"Yeah, we'll be really good, cuz I want to spend lots of time with Eric," Evan agreed. 

Since everything seemed to be going well, I went to watch the football games with Brad and Reid.  The game they were currently watching was just about over, so Reid filled me in quickly, and then I watched the exciting finish with them. 

As soon as that game ended, Brad found another, so we began watching that one as well.  Seeing Pam was doing the cooking today, I was able to stay and watch the games with them, and Reid leaned against me nearly the entire time.  If we were alone, I suspect he would have wanted to be more affectionate with me as well.  I didn't mind him doing this, but I noticed Brad was well aware of what Reid was doing too, so sometimes it became a little uncomfortable for me, knowing what Brad was probably thinking. 

We spent the rest of the day watching football, except for when we stopped to eat, and then during halftime of the last game, I took Evan and Reid to shower. 

"Do you think me and Eric will take a bath together when I stay over with him?" Evan asked as I was washing him. 

"Since you're only staying one night, his mother may just let you boys skip taking a bath," I offered. 

"But I want to see his wiener," Evan countered as he began to pout. 

"Even if you don't see it then, you'll probably see it when he stays with us, since he'll be here for two nights." 

"K, but I don't want to wait," Evan whined. 

"Don't make a big deal about it," I warned.  "If you do, then Eric's mother might not let him stay here, either that or she'll see your wiener when she gives you a bath with Eric." 

"No, I don't want her to do that," he spat back, "so I'll wait until he stays here." 

After I'd finished cleaning the boys and they'd washed me, I dried us off, helped Evan put on his pajamas, and then walked both boys up to their rooms, before tucking Evan in bed.  He had obviously forgotten about sleeping with me, now that Eric was in the picture, which pleased Reid more than me. 

Once Evan was in bed, I noticed Reid sneaking past Evan's room on his way down to my apartment.  When I got there, he was already naked and waiting for me in bed.  I figured I knew what he wanted, so I began as I normally would.  After we finished kissing and I'd moved down to his chest, he asked a question. 

"When are we going to do something new and different?" 

"I'm not sure, but it won't be too much longer.  I'm just trying to decide what we should do next?" 

"I hope you don't take too much longer to make up your mind, cuz I'm ready to try other stuff." 

"I know, and we'll try something different before the end of the year." 

"K.  I guess I can wait until then."

After that had been cleared up, I went back to concentrating on Reid's chest, before moving lower.  By the time I'd finished, I had fingered, rimmed, and sucked him off, and then he did the same to me.  Once he finished, we cuddled together and fell asleep.

When we got up on Sunday morning, Evan and Ashley were still excited about what they'd done with Eric and Rylee when they were here with their mother the previous day.  They also told us what they hoped to do when they stayed over at the Van Pattens' house the following weekend.  Their upcoming visit seemed to be as thrilling for them as waiting for Christmas morning or a trip to an amusement park, so I hoped they weren't disappointed afterward. 

Reid was also excited, because it meant he would be alone with me and wouldn't have to go up to his room after we showered.  I think he was also hoping that would be when I'd try something new with him, but if that was what he expected, I knew he was going to be disappointed.  I was planning to do that for him as a Christmas surprise. 

It seemed all the kids wanted to talk about that afternoon was their upcoming sleepover, as they tried to plan the things they might do.  They were also looking forward to the following weekend when Eric and Rylee would be staying with us.  It was fun seeing them so excited about this, on top of looking forward to Christmas too, but it meant we had our hands full trying to keep them from bouncing off the walls. 

Fortunately, Evan and Ashley had calmed down enough so they were able to fall asleep at bedtime, either that or they'd merely passed out from total exhaustion due to the mental workout.  Pam and I had discussed the situation earlier in the day, since we were concerned that they'd be so hyper that they might not be able to sleep well.  However, we were both pleased that it wasn't the case and the kids were sound asleep shortly after we'd left their rooms. 

Even after a good night's rest each evening, Evan and Ashley still seemed to be very worked up about their upcoming visit throughout the week, so we did what we could to help them stay as calm as possible.  Even though we'd experienced a modicum of success, they were still mildly hyper, so I wondered what Amanda and Bob would be facing when the kids stayed over on Friday night. 

By the time they got home from school on Friday afternoon, Evan and Ashley were rearing to go.  I told them that I would help them pack an overnight bag first, since they would need pajamas and clothes for the following day, along with anything else they might want to take with them. 

Evan thought about this for a while, but he couldn't think of anything he wanted to take, other than his clothes.  That was fine with me, so I helped him select some underwear, pajamas, and play clothes for the following day.  Once I'd finished doing that, I went over to see how Ashley was doing. 

When I got to her room, Ashley seemed to be just about finished putting her things into an overnight bag, so I merely asked her a few questions, to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. 

"Did you take underwear?  Pajamas or a nightgown?  Clothes for tomorrow?  Anything else you might want to have?" 

"Yes, I've put all those things in here with two of my dolls.  They're the ones Rylee and I played with when she was here, so I thought she might like to play with them again." 

"That's a good idea, so just make sure you bring everything back with you on Saturday." 

"K, I will." 

Before we left the house, I asked Reid if he wanted to go with us, but he said he'd wait there until I returned.  I felt he was old enough to do that on his own, so I agreed it would be fine.  Then, I went to take Evan and Ashley.

Seeing Eric and Rylee didn't live very far away, I decided to walk the kids there, instead of taking the car.  I ended up carrying each of their bags, since they found them difficult to manage after a block, and we still had a little over a block to go.  I'd concluded we'd get there sooner if I took the bags for them, and a short time later we were approaching the house.  Eric and Rylee were waiting for us out front and came running to greet us as we approached. 

"You're here," Rylee squealed. 

"Come on, Evan.  I'll show you my room," Eric quickly added. 

"Let's not rush things," I urged.  "We'll stop to see your mother first, in case she has something else in mind." 

"K," they all relented. 

Amanda already had the door open by the time we got there, so we all went inside.  "I'm glad you arrived, because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep these two from running down the street to your house so they could drag you here." 

"I know what you mean.  These two were just as eager, so I hope they all calm down and aren't a problem for you."  

"I'm sure they'll be fine, now that they're together." 

"Can I take Evan to my room?" Eric asked next. 

"Yes, take him and his things to your bedroom and you can play there for now.  And Rylee, you and Ashley can do the same." 

After the kids took off, Amanda and I talked a little longer before I said goodbye and returned home. 

Reid seemed thrilled to have me all to himself, although I reminded him his mother and father would be home soon.  "I know, but Evan won't be showering with us tonight and I can spend all my time with you."

Somehow, I felt he already had an idea about what he wanted us to do later, so I planned on a fairly long and aggressive session with him once we finished our shower.  I just hoped that I'd have enough stamina to keep up with him, since he was so much younger and recovered much more quickly than I did.  However, only time would tell.  I just hoped Amanda and Bob weren't facing a similar problem by having to keep up with four rambunctious kids.
