I pulled up to Sherrie's apartment and Brody was sitting on the curb. He got in and I drove to The New York Pizza House. "I love this place." Brody said. "I know. That's why I picked it." I said. "Thanks." He said. We got out and walked in. We sat down and ordered motzarella sticks and stuffed mushooms right away. "So, what is going on?" I asked him. "This is so stupid. My mom found my stash and flipped out and said I couldn't stay there anymore." He said. "Your stash?" I asked. "Yeah. Pot." He told me. "I quit for a while, but started again a little while ago." "Where are you going to stay?" I asked him. "I don't know. I asked Kevin for a paycheck advance, and he told me to fuck off. I couldn't believe he said that! That's why I stormed out of there. I'm also suposed to get a raise, but he told me that wasn't going to work out." He said. "I'll help you look for a roomate or something." I told him. "Thanks. Do you know somewhere I could sleep tonight?" He asked. "Chris' sister is staying with us, and she has a baby, so our place is full." I told him. "Oh." He said disapointed. "Try Lukas and Rob. Or Jake." I told him. "Yeah. I'll give them a call." He said. "Why didn't you tell me what was going on? You know I would have talked to you." I told him. He just shrugged. "Brody, can ask you something?" I asked him. "Yeah, of course." He said. "Do you like me?" I asked. "Yeah, you know that." He said. "No, I mean are you interested in seeing me? Dating me?" I asked. "Yeah. I told you that before." He said. "I can never tell. You don't act like it." I told him. "Sorry. I guess I don't always know what to do." He said. "I can just never tell if you are interested or not." I told him. "Well, I always am." He said, and smiled. I smiled and took a bite of a stuffed mushroom. the filling spilled out and landed on the table. Brody started laughing. "SHUT UP! These things are messy!" I said, and wiped it up. "You're messy." He said. "Screw you!" I told him. "I'm ready when you are." He said, and winked. I laughed at him. "Glad to see some of the Old Brody come out." I told him. When we were done eating he called Rob, and rob said he could crash on their couch for a few nights. I dropped him off then drove home. When I walked in Chris had fallen asleep on the couch holding GiGi. It was adorable. I walked over and brushed his hair from his forehead and he woke up. "Hey." He said. "Hey. You look so cute." I told him. He smiled. "Sarah is singing at some bar." He yawned. "So I said I'd watch GiGi." "You are so sweet." I told him. He got up and took GiGi back to the room and layed her in the crib. "How did it go?" He asked. "Good. I think something else is bugging Brody. Something he wouldn't tell me about, but he seems better." I told him. "Good." He said, and walked over and hugged me. "Would I make a good dad?" He asked me. "What?" I asked. "Of course you would!" "I don't know." He said, and I hugged him tighter. "You will make a wonderful father." I told him. I felt him relax a little. "Thanks." He said. "So, I think I could go for some Carlos Mencia right now." I said, and he laughed. "Me too. You put the dvd in. I'm going to change my shirt." He said. "You got it." I told him.
