Chele could not believe her eyes. Standing before was the mother of Hanson, Jessie, Avie, Mackie and in her arms Zoe. "Mrs. Hanson, it's a pleasure to meet you. Hey Jessie, Avie, Mackie and you to Zoe. What can I do for you?" Chele asked still in shock. "I think you should start by taking a breath sweetie." Diana said. "Oh, I can't believe this, you have to excuse me. My name is Chele, and thanks for the reminder to breathe." Chele laughed and added. "Hey anybody want a piece of chocolate cake and a glass of milk? My big sister made me this cake this morning, because I got the yucky job of making all the telephone calls and that was the last one, so I feel like celebrating. Join me please?" Chele asked. "We'd love to. Who can turn down chocolate cake." Diana said. Chele quickly got down plates, glasses, grabbed forks and a cake knife and took them to the table. "Come on guys, last one to sit down gets the smallest piece." Chele said and there was a mad dash to the table. She grabbed the milk and filled glasses and returned with the cake. Eyes got big as Chele sat it on the table. "Doesn't it look delicious! Big Sis loves doing this kind of stuff." Chele said as she cut the cake and served everyone. "Hey Zoe, would you mind sitting with me instead of your Mommy. You know just in case a piece of that cake decides not to be eaten and jumps out of your mouth and runs away. Mommy looks so pretty in that white top and I'm just wearing my old grubbing top. I don't care if your cake runs away over me." Chele said. Zoe looked at Chele than her Mommy and put her arms out to Chele who picked her up and placed her on her lap as her Mommy handed her plate and glass. The room filled with "Mmm's, yummy and more please." as Mrs. Hanson explained that they owned the house across the street. It was where the children grew up. She continued explaining that they had been out of town, the boys are recording and just now she had come home with the younger ones, Walker and the boys would be home Friday night or Saturday. "Hey sis, wait til you hear what the Methodist Church is doing. Chele?" Jessy called from the door. "In the kitchen, eating cake with Mrs. Hanson and the kids." Chele called out. "Yeah, and I just got done blading back from the Catholic Church with the Pope, oh my I guess it wasn't the Pope after all. Hey Hansons, what you doing in our neck of the Tulsa woods?" Jessy smiled as she rolled in. "Everybody this is my little sister Jessy. Want a piece of cake Jessy?" Chele offered. "No thanks, I just got done with the Girl Scout Leader, Mrs. Michaels and she filled me with cookies all the time pinching my cheek." Jessy said rubbing her cheek. "Any word from Sis yet?" Jessy asked. "Not since 1p, she checked in then, really excited everything going well." Chele explained. "Jessy, Chele. Where is everyone. You wouldn't believe that old coot, hands all over me. Pervert simply disgusting, he was older than my father, I wanted to deck him so. Just a total jerk. Eww! I cringe thinking about him. I'd love to.. We have company, lots of company, lots of company of the Hanson persuassion. Mrs. Hanson, Kat Masterson, so nice to finally meet you." Kat said. "Kat. Kat Master.. Oh my god your Isaac's girlfriend, he's told me so much about you. I mean, no not that way. Oh, Kat he loves you so. Does he know you're here?" she asked. "Yes and no. He knows I've moved out here but not here per say. I talked to him before he left for the recording studio and I'm waiting for him to get back, is he?" Kat anxiously asked. "No honey not yet, just the kids and I flew back, they're driving and won't be back until tomorrow or the next day." Diana explained. "Probably a good thing, I have so much to do yet before Saturday. What brings you, the white van across the street. Oh that's why it looked familiar, that's the first house when you returned to Tulsa. That explains it, it was Isaac." Kat said racing upstairs and picking up the three neighbor notes and returning to the kitchen. "These are Isaac's aren't they?" Kat asked handing her the three notes. "Yes, these are his." Diana answered. "I should have know, but he doesn't know, he'll just die when he finds out." Kat laughed. "I came to see if it was too late to R.S.V.P. for the nine of us. Kat, this is such a wonderful thing you're doing, patching up hard feelings in the neighborhood. The flyer is so cute, who came up with it?" Diana asked and Chele waved her hand. "My creative sis, and this one is the sweetest, kindest soul, you'll ever meet." Kat said kissing Chele's head and then hugging Jessy. "Unlike this one who has been carrying on with the love of her life and never said a word. Hey Mrs. H there will be plenty, we have 198 confirmed and ordered for 250." Chele shared. "Kat wait til I tell you what the church and girl scouts are doing. There will be so many young kid type games. This is going to be a blast." Jessy said. "You girls sound like you have gone all out." Diana commented. "Sure have and now I know why. It all started for the neighbor, the one having the problem with the neighborhood up in arms with them and you're the neighbor. I still can't believe it." Kat said as the phone rang. "It's okay the machine can get it. Jessy take off your blades and come sit down with us." Kat said pulling up a chair. "Yes this is Mr. Smith, Dave, you remember me sweetie. You just left here an hour ago and I was wondering if maybe you change your mind and would like to grab something to eat while I grab you again. Firm ass. I'd love to get my hands on it again. I can be good to you, get you anything you want, if you'll just be nice to me, you know what I mean." is all Kat could stomach. "Mr. Smith, I'm surprised you would stoop to such a low depth of decency. You should be ashamed, here I thought you to be a respected memeber of the community, a business man and you're nothing more than a sorry excuse of a human being, climbed out of the slime pit. I tell you what, I'll just go to the Coke distributor and buy his product. You are disgusting and I'd rather not associate with the likes of you. So if you'd please cancel the order we discussed and I'll take my business elsewhere." Kat said and hung up. "Dave Smith, I'll tell Walker, he'll chew him up and spit him out of the state. Pervert. Hand me that phone." Diana asked and Jessy grabbed the cordless and took it to her. Diana dialed, "Margaret, Diana Hanson here and if I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it but your Dave, just now put the moves on my Isaac's eighteen year old girlfriend, she went to him to sponsor the Block Party for the old neighborhood. Came home complaining of his behavior and he called here, I heard him proposition her with my own ears. I'm so sorry to tell you, but I felt you deserved to know. That would be nice thank you." Diana said hanging up. "Kat, the pop you had arranged for will be delivered as promised and it's on the Smiths. You will be receiving an apology or he will be receiving divorce papers." Diana shared and the girls laughed. They talked for about an hour and it was decided that Jessy would go with her to help out tonight and tomorrow, so she packed an overnight bag and her blades and left with the Hansons.
