7x4. Family Time (Part 2)

Carlos sighs, turning off his game. "Reggie?" Julie asks. "Can you get the corn husks?" She continues. "Yes." Reggie says. Then Luke and Alex hear Carlos coming down the stairs, as Julie preheats the oven. "Oh hey bub, glad to see you in the kitchen!" Julie smiles, and Carlos chuckles. "Want help?" He asks. "Yes please!" Reggie groans, trying to reach the top cabinet. "Here Reg." Carlos smiles, opening the bottom cabinet, and handing him the bag. "Thank you!" Reggie smiles. "I could have sworn they were in the top cabinet." Reggie says, waiting at the counter. "They were, remember we moved them last time?" Carlos asks, handing him the bag. "Thanks, you wanna cut the apples?" Julie asks. "Sure!" Carlos smiles, as Luke takes pictures. Alex smiles, picking a song, while they're finishing tying the tamales."I've got this feeling in my bones
That you find a solace in shadows
I don't wanna find out you're going 'round my back
Why you wanna bring me these sorrows
Cause there's no excuses for what you're doing
There's no excuses for what you're doing
Girl, I've been your lover since high school
Everything I did, I did for you
If you're gonna tighten this rope around my neck
Girl, you better know I'm gonna fight it
Cause there's no excuses for what you're doing
There's no excuses for what you're doing
Cause there's no excuses for what you're doing
There's no excuses for what you're doing." Luke smiles. "Alex you like NEEDTOBREATHE?" Carlos asks. "Yes." Alex smiles. "Me too." Carlos smiles, as Julie puts the tamales in the oven. "Hey Julie? Can we watch a movie?" Carlos asks.  "Yes, got any in mind?" Julie asks. "Well I don't really know what to watch." Carlos admits and shrugs. Julie just chuckles, shaking her head. "How about Monte Carlo?" Julie asks. "Okay! You ghosts coming?" Carlos jokes with the boys. "Yeah!" Luke smiles. "Sounds like a cool movie!" Alex smiles. "What's it about?" Reggie asks. "Well its these three girls from Texas take a summer trip to Paris, after this one girl named Grace, graduates from high school." Julie explains. "Oooh fun!" Reggie smiles. "Alright C, can you please go put the movie on while I bring these tamales into the den? Please?" Julie asks, taking the tamales out of the oven. The scent of candied apples filling the room. "On it!" Carlos says, while Alex gets the milk and apple juice. An hour into the movie. "Owen, c'mon bud." Alex sighs, watching Cory Monteith's character run through the streets of Paris. "Owen, Owen, Owen!" The boys chant, as Julie just chuckles into Carlos' shoulder. "Wait what about Cordelia?!" Reggie asks, as everyone shushes him. "Sorry." He mumbles to himself, Luke patting his back sympathetically. Eventually the movie ends, and all the boys are asleep. Julie chuckles singing softly to the end credits song. "I wouldn't wanna be anybody else, hey
You made me insecure
Told me I wasn't good enough
But who are you to judge?
When you're a diamond in the rough
I'm sure you got some things
You'd like to change about yourself
But when it comes to me
I wouldn't want to be anybody else

Who says?
It's such a funny thing
How nothing's funny when it's you
You tell 'em what you mean
But they keep whiting out the truth
It's like a work of art
That never gets to see the light
Keep you beneath the stars
Won't let you touch the sky

Who says?" She smiles to herself, as Carlos falls into her lap. She sighs, nodding off. Luke smiles, quietly getting up, and cleaning up the kitchen. "Luke?" Carlos whispers. "Shh, go back to sleep." He smiles, putting a blanket over them, and Reggie and Alex, turning off the movie. "Thank you." Carlos smiles. Luke kisses their heads. "You're welcome little brother."
