Chương 7: The new family member.
Hearing that his father and now his nephew, keep insulting him and his boyfriend Mitch finally blows up, "No, no, no. Stop. Stop. No. You come into my house and you insult me and my boyfriend, who, by the way, is not that dramatic-"
Before he could finish, the lights in the kitchen went off and music started to sound.
♪♪ ♪♪*Music stars* ♪♪ ♪♪
*Voice of Theodore singing in Zulu*
Cam, the no dramatic, appears with a red bathrobe, and a baby in his arms.
"Oh, God." Said Mitch with an embarrassed face.
Cam ignored everyone, having his moment, and started to walk while presenting his daughter like a monkey would for a bunch of animals in an animated movie that didn't exist here in this parallel world.
Seeing this Theodore was in wonder.
He knew that his uncle was doing to do something 'extra' like he always did. Especially, since he was the one who recorded the song of the Lion King.
But he hadn't told him how to act. And this presentation, similar to Rafiki holding Simba, was all his uncle's idea.
♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪
The whole family looked at Cam.
The voice of Theodore appears in the song again, this time singing in English.
It was good that no one knew that it was him. Well except for Alex who was hiding her face with her hands. Probably too embarrassed to accept that she was the lesser twin.
♪ It's the circle of life ♪
When the song reached the climax. Cam used the moment to hold the baby in the air while a light illuminated her. As if a divine light was showing the word that the new member of the family was here.
Theodore couldn't hold it anymore and started clapping with excitement, "All of this for free!?"
"We adopted a baby." Said Mitch with a defeated voice.
♪ And it moves us all ♪
The music kept going. And Cam was showing the baby like a trophy.
Mitch rolled his eyes, and said to the family, "Her name is Lily."
"Oh." Said Jay finally getting how much he had screwed up.
"Exiting!" Said Cam whit a big smile.
♪♪♪♪♪♪
Finally, the awkward situation was too much for Mitch and asked Cam, "Just turn it off."
Cam go offended and said, "I can't turn it off. It's who I am."
Theodore snorted while Mitch sighed, "The music."
"Oh, yes, the music." Cam went a turn of the music while chuckling awkwardly.
Seeing that everyone was looking at them Cam said while grabbing Lily's hand and making her as if she was waving at them, "Come say hi to Lily."
"Ay, miren a la princesita." Said Gloria while kissing her little feet.
"She's so cute!" Said Hayley to Cam while Luke also nodded his head and repeated, "So cute."
As all of them were greeting the new member of the family, Jay was left alone looking dejected and with a weird face.
Claire finally couldn't wait and after tapping her father's arm she went too, "Let me see her. Let me see her. Let me see her."
Phil also went close to them and said to the baby, "Hi there, Lily." Seeing that she was Asian he asked both Cam and Mitch, "Lily." Isn't that gonna be hard for her to say?"
Claire sighed and shut her husband with a hard, "Phil."
While the rest ignored him.
Theodore also went close to Lily. He knew that if she got any sissier than she was going to be in the show she would become his favourite kid. That brat was going to be savage and he would be there to laugh at it.
Seeing her all cute. He decided to give a gift to the new family member and said to both Cam and Mitch. "Hey. Give me a date so I can paint a portrait of you three okay?"
Hearing this, Cam got all excited, "Oh my god! A painting of yours? The great Theodore? I love your paintings!" Cam then remembered the song and while getting a little tearful said, "And thank you for that song, I'm sure is going to be a success In the future"
After receiving a big hug from his uncle Theodore send a look to his parents and said, "Is nice to feel appreciated for my talents"
Phil and Claire looked at each other not wanting to say anymore.
Claire especially was about to blow up, but before she could, her father said loudly.
"Excuse me." The whole family looked at Jay. After putting on an embarrassed face said, "Okay, I-I-I know that I said I thought this was a bad idea. But, uh, what do I know?"
Jay shrugged, and then said, "I mean, it's not like I wrote the book on fatherhood. Been trying all my life to get it right. I'm still screwing up." He then looked at Many, his stepson, who he had screwed up early in the day and said, "Right, Manny?"
Manny nodded while showing a paper to the family, "I wrote a song about it in the car."
"Of course you did." Before Jay could start again. Gloria sends him a look that makes him chill on his back.
Theodore smiled at that and said to Manny, "Hey, you want me to grab the piano and play it for the family?"
Manny shook his head with disappointment, "I can't do it…my writing is still lacking for your majestic music."
Theodore patted his back with encouragement and said, "Don't worry. I can teach you how to write good lyrics if you want?" Making Manny nod his head and smile.
Claire looked at Phil with a look that said 'Piano too?'.
Theodore shook his head. Maybe it was time to stop using the 'look' langue. Maybe he should start speaking tap-dance?
But Phill ignored her as by this moment he was already pale in fright. Half of it was for fairly accepting that he didn't know his son as much as he thought.
And the other half because he was scared that his son wasn't his son and instead was being possessed by the soul of a great Artis like Bobby Bobble Pants-large. The greatest magician background composer in the world.
He just hoped that it wasn't Bobby Badlegs the composer of ballroom dancing. He was a mean person.
"Uh- Anyway, I'm happy for you. And, uh, you should know that, uh, I'm not here to spit in your face, I'm here to... blow at your back." Said Jay with a small smile, while ignoring his frightened face of Phil.
"I don't understand what that means. I don't-" Said Mitch getting a little offended thinking that his father had insulted him again.
Jay quickly interrupted him, "Well, it's- it's supposed to sound better in Spanish."
"Voy a ser la brisa en tu espalda, no quien te escupa en la frente." Said Theodore in a perfect spanish while everyone awe at him.
"Spanish too!?" Exclaimed Claire while Phil thought 'Badlegs was Spanish!' And send a look of worry and fear to Theodore.
Gloria smiled brightly at Theodore and asked, "Ay, mi amor. Desde cuando hablas tan bien español?"
Theodore shugred, "Desde que te escuche por primera vez". It was true. His ability for instant langue learning had started the same day he meet Gloria.
Gloria smiled, "You are so sweet. The ladies would need to worry about you"
At this moment Lily started to cry, and Mitch quickly said, "I got her. I got her"
The moment Mitch grabbed lily, she stopped crying making Cam exclaim, "She wants her Daddy!"
Mitch smiled and while giving her to his father said, "You wanna meet grandpa?"
Jay smiled gently and with a caring voice said to Lily, "Hey, you're a cutie, aren't you?
Theodore was sitting on the couch looking at all the family fussing about Lily. He had a small frown of his while thinking how different his past life would have been if he hadn't been an orphan.
Seeing that Jay and Mitch were about to start to fight again he smiled.
It didn't really matter that much. His past life was over already, and honestly, he didn't even know if it was him or the memories of another person.
What he knew is that all of them were dear to his heart.
His brooding was cut short after a tap on his back. Looking behind him he saw his mom with a murderous look on her face.
He sighed, it was going to be a long journey back home.
