Night falls: At Waltz's Mansion:
The whole family is having their dinner late, since they were waiting for Miles to come back, Pete has retired to bed after being fed, so is just the elders at the dinning and everyone is silently eating their meals, Miles have his head bend so low that it will even touch his food, Cheyenne looks between the father and son before facing her meal.
"Okay, please, can you guys end this silent, I am feeling uncomfortable while eating this delicious meal that Aunt DD has made with love, Uncle Balzary, shouts at him and reprimands him, so we can put this behind us, after all, the problem is solved already"
Abby who couldn't take their looks anymore speaks out, Major Agnes chuckles but didn't say a word
"Father….I am sorry, granny, sorry I didn't tell any of you what was going on, it won't happen again"
Miles apologize again
"There is no need to say sorry to me, I can't believe that my own son has grown so much that he don't even have faith in his own father, was it so hard to tell us about your problem?"
Mr. Balzary laments
"That's is why he is apologizing now, forgive him let's end this, he is a grown man now, not our baby anymore"
Cheyenne comments
"She is right, I have forgiven him, but don't hide anything from the family again"
Major Agnes say
"I swear on you granny, I won't. father say something"
Miles pleads
"Uncle Balzary, stop acting like a girl now and forgive him"
Erika join
"Fine, just because I want to enjoy this meal. I forgive you"
Mr. Balzary finally says what everyone want to hear so they all laughs
"Since all that are done, tell me Cheyenne, did Pete's teacher say something to you when you went to pick him up?''
Major Agnes worried ask
"Oh yes, I almost forgot. she made mentioned she has informed you and Dad about it last week, she only said to remind me, is concerning the tomorrow family day game participation in the school, and we went to the mall and bought some cloths and everything need for it
And come on, the list of things to participate tomorrow is so much that I even asked myself if they are all for kids"
Cheyenne says with headache
"Tomorrow is family day!?''
Miles exclaim with shinning eyes
"Don't act like you are one of the kids, you heard her right now"
Major Agnes taunts her grandson
"I am going tomorrow, Sis I hope you got my cloth too, I can't miss it"
"Everyone is going, Pete has already said it when we are coming back, he even gave list of things that each person will do with him and we are really going to cause problem in the school if all of us arrives for one person"
Erika says
"We all are family or are you ready to enter his book of bad people?"
Mr. Balzary points
"And my tittle to be given to another person, never, we are going tomorrow everyone, just that my parent aren't around"
Erika points
"Pete knows that, and you are going to represent them, Oh my! It will be really fun, it has being long we all went out together, I hope you have texted the boys?''
Major Agnes asked with excitement
"Off course granny, even Aunt Rosita and Uncle Noah has replied and Abby, your parent even cancelled their plans for tomorrow for him, same with Niamh and Carlos's parent, thank God I bought their cloths"
Cheyenne cries out
"Thank God you did, if not, you won't hear a word till this year ends because every time they will remind you of that"
Abby comments and they laughs
"I will tell DD to make a great meal tomorrow, tomorrow is for my great grandson"
Major Agnes seems more excited than Pete the actual pupil of the school
"Granny, we will bring the trophy home tomorrow, I hope the school is ready for us?''
Miles boost and they cheers for him, they make plans for tomorrow while enjoying their meals.
EARLY THE NEXT DAY BEING TUESDAY:
Pete is the first to wakes everyone in the house, with a loud scream, shouting
"Is Family day!" in his room
Cheyenne opens the adjusted door and meet him jumping on the bed while singing 'is family day', she massage her temple and walks in while educating him
"Mister, is still early to dance like this, your grandfather and Major is still sleeping"
"Oh my dear Mommy, they must have already woken up hearing my voice, come we have to prepare, we need to be in school before 9am''
Pete drags Cheyenne who lie on the bed after saying her pieces earlier
"But is just 7am dear, let me sleep more"
She pleads
"Sorry but today is for me, now stand up, Captain Cheyenne attention!''
Pete orders, Cheyenne has no choice but to stand up
"Fine, go have your bath first, I will pick out your cloths"
Cheyenne says this while heading to the children wardrobe at the side of the room, meanwhile Pete freeze when he heard this, and don't move,
Cheyenne on turning around after brining out few jeans and sneakers, she meet her son staring at her with teary eyes, she panics and the sleeps in her eyes left her as she went and hug him and starts asking him
"Why are you crying baby, did I do something wrong? Talk to mummy, what is wrong"
Pete looks at the worried Cheyenne and ask
"You didn't buy the family wears like you promised? My friends said their family have uniform, and I also boosted that you bought one as well, since the teacher said she sent out message on yesterday evening to remind every parents, didn't you know about it mommy?''
Pete's face is filled with disappointment even though he is trying to hid them
Cheyenne opens her mouth to answer but the door of the room is push open from outside and Miles, Erika and Abby walks in all dressed in purple T-shirt that has 'Pete's family' written on it, with a black jeans trouser and white sneakers, each of them,
Pete's eyes widen when he sees them
"Oh my, why is the bumpkin crying?''
Miles squat down and hugs Pete as he ask
"Uncle Miles, you…you all have my name on your T-shirts"
he ask excitedly
"Off course, is family day! Why? do you think we will go to your school in a different cloths, come on baby, you should trust your Mom, she wants the best for you"
Erika joins
"Yes Pete, your mom made all this by herself last night, she has the name printed on them, everyone has your name on their T. Shirts''
Abby joins
Pete who became emotional after hearing this, turn and run to Cheyenne's arm and hugs her
"Sweetie, Mom didn't forgot, it will rather be late than never, I will never forget anything that concerns you, I might be busy but you are my first in everything"
Cheyenne assure, Pete nods on her shoulders
"Hey, are you going to cry all day or win some game?''
Miles ask the emotional Pete
"Off course win some games Uncle!"
Pete shouts
"In that case, hurry, let's have you clean up and put you in your new cloth as well"
Miles picks Pete up and they starts heading towards the bathroom with hearty laughter
"Have I been so busy that my own child thinks I forgot everything about him?''
Cheyenne laments when the boys enters into the bathroom
"Hey, he is like that because he hardly sees you after he became old like that, and he knows you love him a lot, he is bound to feel that way since he in that stage that he will like to flaunt his mother and shows off how beautiful and awesome she is, but since you are hardly at home, he did that with his grandfather, Uncle and Great grandmother, you didn't see how he keeps telling the teacher yesterday that you are his mother when we took and brought him from school, he is proud of you, don't take it the wrong way"
Erika advise
Cheyenne wipe off the tear drops and nods to her friend
"You are the best Captain, and he says that himself, don't doubt yourself"
Abby adds and they smile, then push Cheyenne to go change too.
Pete come down stairs with others wearing his T-shirt, jeans, sneakers and a white baseball cap with 'Son' written on it
Cheyenne come out all dressed in the same uniform with baseball cap as well, and 'Mom' written on it, same goes to others, as their identity is written on top of their caps
Hence coming down in the sitting room they meet the entire family. Logan, Niamh, Carlos, Logan's parent and grandfather, he is a man on his early seventies, Elder Ernest.
Niamh's parent the Eisner's and his grandfather too, Mr. Cooker Eisner, a retired Major just like Major Agnes.
Abby's family, the Cullen's, and her grandfather, who are all from military background. Then the Baker's, Carlos's family, his mother is a quite a beautiful lady on her early-forties, and Carlos took after her, both in charm and looks a princess from a reputed family, his father worships the place his mother steps on, that the whole family has started calling him wife slave but that doesn't mean he is not strict with his kids.
At the moment just Erika's family is missing since they are out of town.
Seeing the whole group all dressed in the same uniform with him, Pete shouts out with joy, and starts greeting everyone one after the other
"I have a huge family Mommy!"
Pete says while looking at the group before him
"Off course baby, that is why we must win those games"
Mrs. Ally Eisner, Niamh's mother, a woman with gentle temperament and quite young even when she is in mid forties.
She says to Pete with a doting smile
"Don't worry granny Ally, we will be victorious"
Pete assures
"Hey I don't mind second place, for so long as this little champ is happy, we are happy''
Elder Baker says, and they chorus in unison
"YES!!!"
Pete laughs
"Then let's aim for the two then, but first, you can tell, I have won in the first round since I have a massive family members"
Pete says and hugs his mother's thigh and they all agree with him.
After breakfast, everyone hopped into the van brought personally for the occasion.
'GREAT GLOW LIGHT ACADEMY' Pete's school
At the school parking grounds: as soon Miles parked the van and everyone alights from it, they meet families in groups, walking into the school with their kids in their hands while wearing their own family uniform
"Oh wow! There seems to have lots of game to play"
Pete exclaims from Logan's arm, as they walk into the school compound and him seeing his school field filled with games of different kinds
"There is so much indeed dear, I think we have to share it amongst us, since you and your mom is very small to play the games"
Mr. Balzary says
"I agree with your grandfather, Cheyenne dear why not go register with Pete, while we wait at the canopy for you"
Mr. Noah instructs
"Sure Uncle, Grandfather Baker, you all should go sit down first, we will be right back"
Cheyenne says to the elders who nods and prepare to go, but a young beautiful lady walks up to them with a smiling face, Pete jumps down from Logan's arms seeing her, then he walks to her and bow respectful to her like a gentleman, the young lady smile and takes his hand and they walks back to the group
"Greetings Teacher Sarah!"
Cheyenne greets the lady who happens to be Pete's classroom teacher when she returns with Pete
"Greetings Miss Waltz, and everyone…..that is a huge family you have Pete"
Teacher Sarah tease Pete, who smile proudly and answer
"Miss Sarah is right, here I will introduce everyone to you, My Mom, grandfather, First Uncle….." Pete went on to Introduced everyone to his teacher while Miss Sarah in the other hand keeps greeting everyone.
"Is really nice to meeting you all, please go have a seat over there at the canopy, and Miss Waltz, you can go have your family register for the games, it will begin as soon as everyone arrives"
Miss Sarah informs
Cheyenne nods, Miss Sarah welcomed them, before excusing herself from their group
"Here, let's go together champ, which game should we choose first"
Logan says while walking hand in hand with Pete, and Cheyenne following behind them, and Erika leads the elders to place to sit down.
At the table where the registration is being done, Pete couldn't stop dancing with joy, even with Logan holding his hands
"I can see that this little man is so happy today, do you mind sharing the secret?''
Logan squat down before Pete and tease him with a doting smile and eyes filled with love
"First Uncle, Mom is going to play game with me, not just that, you, Uncle Miles, Aunt Erika, everyone is going to participate, I will surely win today"
Pete beams with happiness as he says this,
Logan chuckles and ask
"Then what happens if we comes second position, will you be sad?''
"Never Uncle, first and second are the same thing, the only difference is that the first position is just few points away from second and Mom taught me that, winning and losing is all phase of life, so even if we win or lose, I don't mind, for so long as everyone is happy"
hearing Pete says those words like an adult, Logan unknowingly feel proud, he turn and look at Cheyenne who is busy filling the form, he smile and says to Pete
"Your mom is the best do you know that?''
Pete smile and respond
"Yes Uncle and you are also the best"
"I know, but she is amazing more than me, you know she went through a lot before she had you, but still she didn't change, instead she become more amazing than before, try and appreciate her once, because she is the best mother, best daughter, sister and friend, do you get that"
Logan educates
Pete nods heavily with determination in his eyes but then Cheyenne's voice interrupted them when she ask
"What are you two taking about so seriously?"
Cheyenne's Logan smile and stand up straight, while Pete went to his Mom and hug her thigh
"Why the sudden hug Champ, come, I am not leaving you. let's go meet others now"
Cheyenne scoops him up to her arm as she says this, while Logan takes the papers and few game materials in her hands and follow them, they look like a real family of three since Logan looks at the mother and son with so much love, even parent has started saying and pointing hands at them with just few words in their lips
'they are so beautiful and handsome, with a cute son'.
"Everyone, the game will starts in the in an hour, here is the forms I filled"
Cheyenne informs the group when they return where others were sitting. Logan distributes the forms base on the names of people that will play each rounds with Pete, since there so much game, which some of them includes...
