Part 409
Becca watched the exchange and asked, "What’s wrong? You’re in pain."
"I’m okay. It’s just Braxton-Hicks. They’ll go away after I take a nap this afternoon."
"What time is Howie’s sister due in?"
"Her flight is due at four-thirty. She’s coming with Ali and Sonja. I’m gonna do my sound check and then head to the airport to meet them. Wanna go with me?"
"I don’t wanna infringe on you saying good-bye to Jesse and I really don’t want Garrett in all that confusion."
"You won’t be infringing because Jesse’s not leaving then and leave Garrett with Nick. He needs to get use to taking care of his son, you know."
Becca giggled at the image she had of Nick babysitting alone. "I can see it now, the Backstreet Boys Babysit."
Sarah laughed too. "It would make a nice photo layout. Maybe we could get Andre to take pictures and we could use them as blackmail."
"You’re evil."
"Very! Oh look, here comes one now. Wonder why Kevin isn’t shopping with them?"
"No telling with him," smirked Becca. "Probably wants to play big brother and fix our problems for us."
Kevin ambled over to the table with the girls and took a seat between them. Reaching over, he placed a hand on Sarah’s stomach to feel the babies moving as he asked, "Sarah, could you do a favor for me?"
"Sure, Boo."
"Since you’re gonna be at the airport anyway, would you mind meeting Lynne’s plane too? She’s coming in at 4:45 from Toronto."
"I’d be glad to, Kevin," answered Sarah. She looked at him closely and could see a gleam in his eyes. "You’re really looking forward to this, aren’t you?"
"Yeah, I am. She’s different, like you and Becca. Normal."
"Normal? Oh god…that’s a joke," laughed Becca. "What is NORMAL about our lives?"
"No, not now. Before, when you two first met us. You weren’t the usual girl falling all over yourselves…"
"Becca was," laughed Sarah remembering how she had tripped and Nick had caught her.
"Sarah….BITE ME!" shot Becca playfully.
That one exchange changed Kevin’s line of conversation and he asked, "Are you two okay?"
"We’re fine, ‘Boo’. Why do ask?"
"Well, Nick and Howie wouldn’t let us near you two so you could talk. Need to unload on Brother Kev?"
Both girls laughed as Sarah said, "You need to get over yourself! Not everyone needs YOU to fix their problems!"
"So you admit you were having problems?"
"No! You know, Kevin, we ARE adults," said Becca. "We can work things out ourselves."
"Uh huh, that’s why you two get upset over such little things," teased Kevin and laughed as both girls stuck their tongues out at him. "There…proof I’m RIGHT, as usual."
Seeing the others coming out, Sarah said, "Help me up, ‘Boo’."
Helping both girls up, Kevin also gave Becca hand gathering Garrett’s things and then the three headed to join the others.
Kevin put his arm around the girls as they walked out. "You two should just admit it."
"Admit what?" questioned Becca.
"I saw the pictures the other day on the computer. Nice try to cut it off but those were pictures of my ass. You two are HOT for me so admit it."
Sarah laughed hysterically more from Becca’s embarrassment of being caught. "Oh god, Kevin! Get real! We’re both married."
"Yeah, so? I KNOW Howie wouldn’t mind and hell, Nick would probably get off watching too."
Stunned that Kevin was joking like this, Becca stammered, "I…uh…I don’t think so, Kevin. Nick isn’t THAT kinky."
"And besides, Kevin, I HAD a chance to be with you and guess what…I’m NOT," teased Sarah.
Putting his hand over his heart, "Oh, that HURTS! I thought you loved me!"
Sarah smiled, "I do, ‘Boo’…like a big brother!"
"Still, it doesn’t change the fact that you’ve BOTH got the hots for me. I’m simply irresistible."
Sarah and Becca looked at each other, nodded agreement, and kissed Kevin on his cheeks. Together, "Simply irresistible."
