 I've decided that Angelina has a basement XD Elder Quad
"C'mon Ash! Ya got this! Ya got this!" Finn urged his son as they played, of course, Gaelic football in Grandma Angelina's basement. It was cold outside and snowy, so they had to rely on the cool basement to play their sports. Finn played one end of the basement and Axel played the other. the two were both goalies and they were betting on their sons. Would the women of the house like that? Probably not. But did they care? Absolutely not.
Ashton giggled as he and Colton fought over the ball in the middle of their makeshift field. "I'm tryin' da!" he laughed as he kicked the ball through Col's feet. "Yes!" He went running after the ball and kicked it towards Axel who caught the ball easily with one hand. "Aw! Cheata'!" he accused, grinning from ear to ear. "Rematch!" Oh yes, there was no doubt about that. There would be a rematch. "C'mon Col, le's see wha' ya got!" The little boy pointed at his cousin and smiled mischievously.
"Sorry Ash," Axel laughed, rolling the ball towards Colton and rubbing his chest lightly out of habit. Neither Finn nor Axel had shirts on. Earlier, the two had wrestled in the basement and their shirts had been long forgotten. Now, both of their sons had discarded of their own shirts as well. Axel was sure Emmy wouldn't mind. But then again, she might. Oh well. "Col, c'mere. Let's strategize so we can make fun of uncle Finn later," he chuckled, winking at his cousin.
Colton ran as fast as he could over to his father and jumped into his arms. "Ash is too big for me daddy," he said with a nod. Ash was actually not that much older than Col, but he was a bit taller and more fit. Axel assured him that it wasn't that big of a deal and that they were merely having fun anyway. Col gave Axel a kiss on the cheek then he ran back out into the middle of the 'field' and tackled Ashton. "You're goin' down cousin!" he laughed.
Looking down, Axel called time-out for a moment as Natalie tugged on his shorts. "Let's have a look shall we?" he smiled, picking up the small Natalie in his arms and walking upstairs. "I'll be right back! Don't compromise my kid Finn!" he accused from the top of the stairs. He heard a wicked laugh and shook his head. "Nelia! Where are you!" he called in a sing-song voice as he walked through the house.
Finding all the women, Axel suddenly became aware of the fact that he had no shirt on. He shrugged inwardly and walked towards them. "I have a package to deliver to you Nelia," he chuckled, handing over the little girl. he then turned to Emmylyne and smiled. "Hello wife," he greeted with a kiss. "We're playing football downstairs, courtesy of Finn, and yes, Colton lost his shirt as well." He thought he might as well tell her now before she walked downstairs to see Ash and Col going at it with their feet without shirts.
"Oi! Ben! Downstairs, five minutes, bring Kadyn. Three corner football? I gotta get back down there before Finn takes out Col and says it was Ash's fault," he laughed, running back downstairs and tackling Finn to the ground.
"I swear! Look at 'im! He's perfectly fine!" Finnegan protested as Axel took him down. Too late. The two were already wrestling each other as their sons cheered on their own father and shoved each other playfully back and forth. "Didja..tell Ben..ta come..too?" he asked through gritted teeth as the two rolled around on the floor. He received a positive grunt from Axel and continued to try and take his cousin out.
Finn laughed as the two rolled around on the ground, reminiscing about old times. The only thing that was different was that Ben wasn't on top of the pile. He and Axel had fought all the time and Ben had just decided it would be a good idea to sit on them as they struggled. Good times. Finn almost shoved Axel off him, but instead ended up locking him in a head-lock.
"Oi! Daddy! Ya got this!" Ash cheered the very same thing Finn had told him earlier. He then began running around and telling Colton he couldn't catch him. Of course, now the little boys were playing tag while their fathers set a lovely example of how to treat your cousin. "Col, le's play Gaa now, yeah?" he asked, kicking the ball towards the other little boy. He then heard his name being called from the upstairs. "Down 'ere Ethan!" he called, cupping his hands around his mouth just like his daddy taught him.
Colton giggled and leaned down over Finn and Axel. "Silly daddy. Take uncle Finny down, okay?" He then skipped over to Ash and began kicking the ball back and forth with him. "Ethan! Down here!" He decided to help Ash call their friends downstairs. That way, they could all play football together! That sounded like a great idea to him. He kicked the ball once more and it flew over Ashton's head. "Didja see that Ash?!" he yelled, punching the air as he jumped. Ash smiled and nodded, giving him a reassuring nudge as he raced after the ball.
