Spoiler (but not really)... I just couldn’t resist.
I’m making some photos to put in frames and whatnot for Schmidt Happens AND LOOK AT MY LITTLE BABY XAVIER ALL GROWN AND READY TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL! He finally grew into that giant head
(Schmidt Happens will pick up ~15 years later so Xavier will be about 25 when it begins)
Flashback to how Xavier looked the last time we saw him:
“Dad? I can’t find my hat.”
Lucius crouched down in front of Xavier. “What hat? What’s it look like?”
“Um, it’s black with a bunch of different colors on it. Mara got it for me for the party. I know I brought it with me. I left it on the table so that I wouldn’t lose it while I was playing with Joey and now it’s gone.”
“Gyselle?” Alaric suddenly asked his sister sharply, drawing everyone’s attention to her.
“Something’s wrong,” she whispered. “I can’t--I no longer see Amber in your future, brother.”
Lucius stood up with clenched fists. “What do you mean?”
As Gyselle broke down into sobs against Alaric’s shoulder, Brigitte came forward and wrapped a protective arm around Xavier. “Go, Lucius. Between the three of us and Caleb, Xavier is safe. Find your wife.”
“Did anybody here order a badass little Lady Knight?” Caleb Garner asked as he entered James’ home with Joey draped across his shoulders, giggling madly.
Xavier ran to join his best friend. “Joey! You look so cool!”
“Your outfit looks familiar,” Amber told Joey. “Who are you?”
“Alanna! She disguises herself as a boy and becomes a knight and she’s my favorite character! I’m going to be just like her!”
“I’ve been hit in the head with wooden swords a lot lately,” Caleb added. “My wife helped her make the costume and it’s been hard to convince her to wear real clothes ever since.”
“Well, you guys both look amazing,” Amber told them. “Go on before you’re late to school!”
If only I knew what I know today I would hold you in my arms I would take the pain away Thank you for all you've done Forgive all your mistakes There's nothing I wouldn't do To hear your voice again Sometimes I wanna call you but I know you won't be there
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit Sometimes I just wanna hide cause it's you I miss And it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this
“They’re going to leave in a few minutes,” Brigitte told everyone as she adjusted the last balloon. “Everybody ready?”
Gyselle approached Joey’s parents. “Thank you again for making the cake, Mr. Garner. I understand you’re quite the chef.”
“I love to cook,” Caleb told Gyselle. “You should come down to my restaurant some time. Er, you do eat, don’t you?”
His wife elbowed him. “Caleb!”
Joey and Xavier examined the cake with wide eyes until Joey finally said, “Dad, can we---”
“For the last time, Joey, I think James will notice if the strawberries are missing. Don’t even think about it.”
“How do I look?” Xavier asked the following morning.
“I haven’t had my coffee yet,” James yawned, “But I’m pretty sure it’s not Halloween. Why are you dressed like Captain America?”
“Today is Book Parade Day at school,” Amber supplied as she joined James at the counter. “The kids dress as their favorite book character and, well, parade around the school. Joey and her dad are on the way to take him to school.”
“Ah, I see. You look amazing, Cap.”
“Thanks! Mom said I can wear it again for Halloween if I want!”
“I think I’m going to call it a night, guys,” Amber said tiredly. “As much as I’d love to put off shopping, I’ll need to at least go get new glasses. I can’t survive long on one pair on contacts.”
“It’ll be fun!” Mara answered. “We’ll have a girl’s day out... while James carries the shopping bags.”
“Oh, goody.”
“I think I’m gonna stay up with these guys,” Xavier told his mother. “This is a pretty good movie.”
"You’ve seen this movie a million times, Xavier. We have it--” She stopped and cleared her throat. “You have school in the morning. Upstairs, mister.””Awww, man.”
“Seriously, James, I don’t want to put you out. I can sleep here. You stay in your bed.”
“You’re pregnant and you’re my guest. The pull-out is pretty comfortable anyways. Trust me, I’ve slept on worse.”
