Extra 26: Us and Them Part 1

After saying goodbye to their grandfather, Howard, and their uncle, the young Coopers went to the mall to buy everything they needed for the beach.

James was in charge of the money since he was the oldest sibling. Jayden had established the rule that they could have a credit card when they turned sixteen and would use it responsibly. After returning home, they would report any expenses. "Wow... I'm so jealous. I want to shop like that," Michael said, watching his older brother enter some numbers on a little device and then take the purchases with them.

"I'm just months away from having that privilege," Elizabeth said happily.

"But this is a responsibility, because, at the end of the day, money has to be managed wisely," James said.

"Didn't you already pay with that magic money?" Nicole asked.

"No, kids, those charges or payments are made by your parents at the end of the month," Danielle explained.

"Oh.

"That's why Dad says we have to be responsible when using it," Michael added.

"That's right. In fact, your parents have also given me a credit card to use to buy everything you need when you're with me.

"Oh..." the twins said.

As they walked, they passed by

the ice cream shop... but someone didn't pass up the ice cream. It was evident that James was acting a little nervous and blushing occasionally while talking to a girl who was also buying something at the shop. "Hmm. interesting," Elizabeth observed, seeing material for future blackmail.

"What's wrong with our brother?" Nicole asked.

"Looks like someone has fallen in love," Danielle said.

"No, nobody can steal my brother," Michael complained.

"I don't think that's for you to decide," Danielle said, noticing how the kids were jealous

"But I can stop it." Danielle turned around and saw Deborah behind her, glaring daggers at the young girl who was stealing her baby boy.

"Aww... James already has a crush or a girlfriend, how sweet," Jayden started to say, but then he saw the

for look of hatred his wife was giving him, making him nervous. "Uh... I mean, he's he's still too young that, and I think we need to remind him."

"Exactly," Deborah said, crossing her arms.

Everyone stifled their laughter at the obvious display of maternal jealousy.

After chatting for a bit, James returned to his siblings and noticed his parents had already arrived and were looking at him intently.

"Congratulations, champ, for... Ah!... I mean, James, what do you think you were doing?" Jayden was about to congratulate his son on the romance, but a gentle stomp on his foot made him change his words. "Are you okay, Dad?" James asked, seeing his father's eyes welling up with tears.

Jayden simply groaned from the throbbing pain in his right foot.

"James," Deborah tried to capture her son's attention, hugging him to divert his attention from what had just happened.

"Whoa... Mom, we're in public," he said, embarrassed, noticing several girls looking their way.

"But you're my baby."

"Um... yeah, but I'm not a little kid anymore."

"We are, Mommy," the twins said, hugging her to save their older brother.

"That's right. I've got my two babies."

"And I'm still your baby, Mommy," Elizabeth said, using a sweet voice to join the hug.

Deborah smiled and let herself be led by her children, who began asking her to buy them some sweets.

James and Jayden watched as they moved a little farther away.

"Uh... what was that?" James asked, looking at his father.

*Your mom saw you flirting with that cute girl and got jealous."

"Oh... huh...?" Now James blushed hard. "Wait... you... you saw that?"

"Yes, we did. Don't worry, son, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Falling in love is just a part of life. But you should understand that your mom gets jealous because you're her first baby. In the end, it's every mother's worst fear coming true." "And what fear is that?"

"That some girl shows up in your life and steals you away from her arms," Jayden explained.

"Oh... so that's why she acted like that."

"Yeah.. so why don't you go give her a hug?"

"Alright, but hey, tell me something. Will you act the same way with Ellie's boyfriends?"

"What boyfriends?" Jayden's smile disappeared as he glared at his son with a twitching eye and a frown.

"Uh..." James realized, to his relief, that he wasn't the only one who would face parental jealousy- Elizabeth would have to go through it too.

"She's my little princess, just like Nicole, and no one is going to take them away from me.

James laughed nervously, realizing why his parents were so compatible. "Right, better forget I said

anything."

"Yeah... let's get back to shopping, son," Jayden sald, relaxing a bit. "So, tell me, how did it go?"

James started to tell his dad about what he did, leaving out the situation with Roger because he didn't want to upset him further.

Danielle couldn't help but laugh as she listened to the conversation, knowing her bosses were only showing the great love they had for their children.

The rest of the afternoon was spent between games and shopping as they completed the twins' list to prepare everything needed for the beach.

At one point, Jayden fulfilled his promise, and with Deborah's help, they bought a piece of land near the beach where they built a house that suited their tastes and needs.

The house had five bedrooms with bathrooms for each family member, two larger rooms for the staff, a living room, a dining room, a large garden with rest areas, an outdoor bar, a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a hammock area, and a volleyball court.
