The group soon left after the incident with Wiley; they didn’t want to be considered eyewitnesses by the cops.

Now everyone was dressed and playing outside. Lenny was teaching Greg basketball, Alex and Owen were on the other side of the court playing basketball, Eric and Andre were near them while Roxanne, Sally, Bean, and Becky were playing horseshoes in the sandbox.

“Becky, you can do this,” Roxanne encourages her youngest.

The child throws the horseshoe, getting it around the pole. Talia claps for the small girl as she approaches the group, and Roxanne praises her daughter, giving her a high-five, which the youngest Feder returns with a grin.

“Talia! Did you see me?! Did you see me?!” Becky exclaims causing Talia to chuckle as she stops in front of the girl.

Sally was looking at her son, Bean, as he drank milk from a small carton; she let out a sigh, looking back at him.

“Typical man, they take all you can give and then they trade you in for some cow,” Roxanne says.

“Amen,” Talia grins as Alex dribbles the basketball.

“I wouldn’t trade you for some cow,” the brunette calls, butting into the conversation as he dodges Owen, who lets out a low curse, chasing after him.

“Not yet,” Talia hummed, causing the brunette to look up at her with a grin; Owen took this as his chance to steal the ball and toss it through the hoop.

Alex snaps back into the game and starts chasing Owen. “Danmit Talia, you distracted me,” He grumbled, causing Talia and Owen to laugh.

Roxanne and Sally smirk at the young woman, who blushes. “We’re just keeping it causal,” she answers before someone could question, “Also, Sally, you don’t need a man when you’re that sexy,” she compliments the lady to get off the conversation of her and Alex.

It worked because Sally sighed. “Yeah, but I don’t know what to do with these now,” she explained, putting the horseshoes under her breasts and lifting them slightly.

Eric looks over at his wife with a suggestive smirk. “I do,” he tells her, causing Sally to raise her eyebrows suggestively with a smirk.

Talia grins at the older lady as she, Sally, and Roxanne start watching Eric and Lenny teach Greg.

Lenny shoots the ball into the hoop from the sideline “Now, see that, buddy? I did the old bank shot.” —Eric tosses the ball back to him—”Bank’s open. Pick a spot. Aim for it.” Lenny instructs and shoots again getting the ball through the hoop.

“Oh yeah. Your dad’ll go 50 for 50 with these,” Eric adds tossing the ball back to Lenny.

“Really? Because on the Wii the bank shot never works.” Greg answers, skeptical of his father’s method.

“That’s cause it’s a video game, sport,” Alex pants as he walks towards his father, brother, and Eric. He and Owen were done; Alex had won, and Owen went inside to get a shower. Alex lifts the bottom of his shirt and wipes the sweat from his face, Talia lets her eyes wander to his abs that poked out from under the thin material, only looking away when his shirt dropped back down.

“Exactly. You should Wii-turn it and get a Wii-fund; Tim Duncan’s had about a hundred game-winners with that bad boy,” Eric adds as he tosses the ball back to Lenny.

“Nice one, Eric,” Talia laughs causing the man to smile.

“Honey, you watching me?” Lenny questions his wife as he turns around, tossing the ball over his head and making the shot, causing the people around to cheer, Roxanne being the loudest.

“Oh, baby, that was hot,” The woman exclaims, Alex grimaces as his mother calls his father hot. He had heard them speak to each other like that and flirt for the last twenty-one years, and he still wasn’t used to it.

Lenny turns back around and catches the ball Eric throws to him, shooting it again “Come here for a minute, let me show you,” Lenny tells his second oldest.

“Way to go, baby,” Roxanne calls to her husband as Greg makes his way over to his dad.

“Move it, move it, move it.” Lenny rushes Greg, causing him to break into a sprint before stopping in front of him. “What you gotta do is…” Lenny gives the ball to Greg and steps back, letting Greg stand in the spit he was previously in as he points up at the basketball board. “See the box up there? Top right corner of it?” He questions his son.

Greg wasn’t listening as his eyes were on Jasmine’s ass where she was fixing the tree house with Amber, Keithie, and Bridget.

“Hello?” Lenny calls to his son, snapping his fingers; he follows his son’s eyes and realizes where he is staring. “Focus, boy, focus. Get off of that,” he instructs the young man “Lamonsoff, focuses,” he calls to them who was also distracted by Jasmine’s ass.

Bridget looks over at the group from her spot below Jasmine, and her face scrunches up. “Oh my God, what a perv. He’s totally checking me out,” she voices as she looks back up.

“He wasn’t…I don’t know,” Lenny gives up trying to tell her that Greg and Eric weren’t looking at her, his focus going back to his son. “Alright, come on. Go ahead,” he encourages the boy.

Greg dribbles the ball before jumping up and shooting the ball, flicking his wrist. “Follow through, keep the hand up,” Lenny instructs.

Greg makes the shot, and Alex smiles. “Are you kidding me? Respect. You see how good you can be when you wear normal people clothes?” Lenny questions his son. He couldn’t help the pride that filled his chest, he already had Alex following in his footsteps, and now he learned Greg could too.

Deanne comes out of the house in a beautiful dress “Looking sexy, D!” Talia calls to the woman.

“Thanks, Talia!” The woman calls back, her eyes falling on her husband Kurt, who was down by the lakeshore with Charlotte and Rita, catching frogs. Both Kurt and Rita were talking and laughing. Deanne felt a twang of jealousy and sadness settle in her chest and Talia felt sympathy for her as she’d felt the same way when Jasmine first got here.

The blonde felt a pair of arms wrap around her, and she was pulled into a hard, sweaty chest, causing her to cringe. “Ew, you’re sweaty,” she says, pulling away from Alex, who laughs.

“Come on, it’s just a little sweat; it won’t kill you,” he tells her, walking towards her.

Talia steps back with every step he takes towards her, a grin on her face. “I don’t care, go shower,” she instructs.

He lunges for her, and she screams, getting out of the way just in time; she dashes towards the lakehouse with Alex hot on her trail as laughs leave her.

She yelps when he picks her up and throws her over his shoulder “You know, I can walk,” she pants as he carries her.

“Yeah, but, why walk when I can carry you?” The brunette hums, causing Talia to grin; she wouldn’t argue with that logic.

——

It was around 11:00 pm, the kids were all asleep, and all the adults, including Talia, Owen, and Alex, were at the Amoskeag Lake Lodge, beers in hand, water for Deanne, while they talked and listened to music.

Marcus lets out a drunken laugh as he finishes the last shot and holds his arm up. “Alright, I did everybody’s first shot for them. Now you do the second. Come on, now,” he tells everyone with a drunk smile, his words slurred.

Everyone voices their disagreements “No, nobody’s doing shots. We got kids here, dummy. Gotta wake up in the morning.” Lenny laughs taking a swig of his beer.

“We’re gonna biz beers instead. Who’s got beers? Check them off,” Marcus instructs.

“I’m gonna go with one,” Lenny hums, raising his beer in the air.

“I’m clean,” Alex hums from beside Talia causing the blonde to laugh.

“Yeah, I’ll stick with coffee,” Eric laughs from beside Lenny raising his coffee cup.

“I’m having this many,” Deanne adds holding her water up.

“Cheers,” Roxanne and Talia grin holding their beers up and clanking them together. Talia was already buzzed from the two she had and knew this would be her last one.

“I’m breastfeeding,” Sally argues.

“I’m just having Metamucil tonight,” Gloria adds to the mix causing everyone to laugh.

“Two and I’m gonna head out,” Owen rises to his feet, taking the last sip of his beer before tossing it into the trash can and leaving, everyone telling him bye.

“What’s wrong with you guys? We used to come up here and party, man, and get wasted. You losers,” Marcus exclaims as he moves from the counter to the chair Owen previously sat in.

“Don’t worry you’ll grow up one day, Higgy. You just have to meet the right girl.” Sally tells him as she, Roxanne, Deanne, and Gloria roast marshmallows.

“Oh, my older sister would be perfect for you,” Gloria tells Marcus, causing Lenny to snicker.

“What?” Marcus questions her with a nervous laugh.

“She’s legally blind, but she can see shapes,” Gloria tells Deanne, who nods and hums.

“I’ve been in love,” Marcus sighs, leaning back fully on the chair as he holds his bottle of vodka close. “It was a little brunette girl with curly hair and the deepest blue eyes I’d ever seen. Monica Gage.”

Talia tenses at the mention of her mother “She was perfect– outgoing, wild, and god she was so good at suck—”

He’s cut off by Talia, who loudly asks Roxanne, “How did you and Lenny meet?” The blonde practically yelled she hated her mom, and she didn’t want her father talking about her, especially not like that.

“That’s a good question,” Marcus laughed, already forgetting about Monica Gage. “How did this blob of crap, no offense, meet the lovely señorita,” Marcus questioned gesturing to the two and making curves with his hands when he looked at Roxanne.

“Oh, he came into the department store where I was working. I helped him. He wanted me to try this skirt on.” Roxamne chuckles.

“Oh, the old “try on the skirt” trick. I got you. Very sneaky, sis,” Deanne grins, eyeing Lenny, who shrugs with a chuckle.

“Yeah, he did trick me. Cause afterward he made me try on a bra and– hey, I was just trying to help,” Roxanne shrugs as Alex grimaces and everyone laughs.

“Okay, okay, I did like him a little,” Roxanne admits with a grin.

“It was a good day,” Lenny confirms.

“I could’ve lived without knowing,” Alex mumbles causing Lenny to laugh.

“Hey, nine months after that day, you popped out,” he tells him, causing Alex’s jaw to drop and his eyes to widen as Talia lets out a cackle.

“Dad!” Alex exclaims, causing everyone to laugh while Talia holds onto one of his shoulders for support.

“I’m sorry– Your face is priceless,” she cackles, causing Alex to nudge her jokingly.

Suddenly Deanne jumps up. “Oh, God! Oh, my water. My water’s breaking. The baby’s coming!” she panics. Immediately, the laugh stops, and Kurt goes pale as Roxanne and Talia jump up from their seat to help her. Everyone panics as Deanne lets out grunts of pain.

That is until she stops and turns holding her bottle of water as she looks at everyone with a joking grin. “Oh, you!” Sally laughs as everyone immediately relaxes; Talia sighs and goes to sit next to Alex again, a soft laugh leaving her.

“I got you, I got you, I got you,” Deanne points at everyone repeating the words.

“Alright,” Lenny laughs.

Deanne lets out a laugh “I’m just playing.” She says, taking a swig of her water as 𝑺𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚 by Bob Welch starts playing.

“Oh my God, it’s… Do you know this song? Oh, this song’s the best.” Marcus speaks up as tears sting his eyes “This song’s the best,” he repeats as memories of him and Monica Gage flow into his mind, when they were together and happy.

Roxanne rocks softly to the song with her eyes closed and a soft smile on her lips.

“Oh this song get’s me so horny,” Gloria admits causing everyone to give her a look.

“You know, I was thinking that, but now not so much,” Deanne adds.

“I’d like to claim credit for that. Because that’s all part of my “get some nookie” playlist.” Robbie speaks up, getting to his feet in front of Gloria as everyone laughs. “Get the ladies on the dance floor, and I got my lady right here. Come on, honey,” He takes a swig of his beer as he holds his hand out for Gloria, who smiles and takes it.

“That was a really good move. Let’s do this,” Lenny says standing up to go over to his wife. Everyone gets up, going to their lovers as they start slowly dancing; Marcus holds his bottle of alcohol and starts dancing with that, causing Talia to laugh.

Talia watches the couple dance with a soft smile when Alex stands and pulls her to her feet, wrapping an arm around her middle with a grin.

“That was smooth, I’ve gotta give you that,” Talia hums causing Alex to chuckle

“May I have this dance, Miss. Higgins?” He questions.

“Yes, you may, Mr.Feder,” Talia played along with a smile. “Though I must warn you, I have not a graceful bone in my body,” she grins.

“Then I’ll help you,” Alex hums. He takes her hands and puts them around his neck while he goes to her waist.

The two dance, their eyes glued to each other, Talia couldn’t believe she’d gotten this lucky to meet Alex Feder. While Alex couldn’t believe that he had found the woman he would be okay spending the rest of his life with. It had only been a few days, yet the two had fallen hard.

Talia stands on her toes and leans closer to Alex while he leans down; nothing could ruin this moment, is what they thought.

That was until Marcus popped between the two, holding a deer head. “Six feet apart! Keep you spaghetti suckers of my daughter!” He yells drunkenly.

“Dad!” Talia yells, causing the others and Marcus to laugh as he pops up. Talia hits the back of his head, and he tumbles to the floor with an “Ow” before passing out.

The blonde sighs as she grabs his torso. “Someone grab his legs?” She questions.
