Braddy’s Day

Shiloh’s hungry scream pierced through the darkness and reverberated off the glass walls of Brad and Angelina’s bedroom. Brad’s eyes popped open and glanced quickly at the clock on the nightstand. 3:14 a.m. She was right on schedule.

Angie sprang quickly out of the bed, the strap of her filmy nightgown already over her shoulder, her breast bare and ready for Shiloh. Brad sat up and watched as Angelina swooped the baby out of her crib, took her place in the oversized rocking chair in the corner and encouraged Shiloh to latch on and nurse. The baby’s cries instantly became greedy suckling. Brad watched spellbound as Angelina rocked, nursed and hummed a lullaby for baby Shiloh.

Brad slipped out of the bed and walked over to the rocker. He bent down and kissed Shiloh’s forehead and then Angie’s breast and finally her full lips. “Does she need a diaper change?” he asked hopefully.

“No, not yet. But you’ll be the first to know when she does,” Angelina replied as she winked at him.

“You fill her up and I’ll clean her up after she unloads,” Brad chuckled.

“That’s the deal!” Angie said with a smile.

“Yeah,” Brad said as he kissed his girls again, “that’s the deal.”

Maddox Jolie Pitt adjusted his GUCCI sunglasses as he looked up at the towering skyscraper in the, New York City sun. It was still under heavy construction, but Maddox thought it was the most beautiful thing, in the world. He had finished a meeting with the contractor, the engineer and the head foreman. Everything was still running on schedule. Everytime he walked into a building, he always remembered what his father told him: Architecture, is the only art form, that you can walk through.

He glanced at his TAG HEURER watch, he was scheduled to meet his girlfriend Apple Martin, for a late lunch in SOHO. Maddox and Apple, had dated almost four years ago. Their relationship had ended badly. There were rampant rumors, that Apple cheated on Maddox. Nobody ever knew, why they really broke up. But two years ago, they ran into one another in London. Maddox was attending a conference for his firm, Apple who is a curator for the MOMA, was collecting pieces, for a new exhibit. They had dinner that evening, where they caught up, on each other’s lives. They were both surprised, that each one of them, lived in New YorkCity. One thing led to another and they have been together, ever since.Maddox speed dialed a number in his cell phone. He was calling his sister Zahara, who was now a senior, at STANFORD.

Zahara Jolie Pitt was leaving her histology class, when she heard her cell phone ring. She dug into her LOUIS VUITTON tote, for her cell phone. She smiled when she looked at the caller id, it was her big brother, Maddox. Zahara was absolutely stunning. She turned heads, where ever she went. And it seemd like everyday, she was mistaken for a model. Zahara was a lethal combination: she was beautiful and smart. She was scheduled to graduate in the spring, MAGNA *** LAUDE. This current semester, she was busy studying for her MCATS and appyling,interviewing at various medical schools, through out the country.

“Hey Mad! What’s up?” Zahara asked, with a smile in her voice.

“I’m standing here, looking at my baby.” Maddox said laughing.

“Oh. Tell Apple, I said hi.” Zahara said.

“No, not Apple. My OTHER baby.” Maddox told her.

“Oh, I see. Your building. How is she?” Zahara asked laughing. Maddox loved being an architect. Zahara, thought to herself.

“She’s doing fine. She’s right on schedule. How are you doing?” Maddox asked his sister.

“Busy. I have a couple of interviews coming up. My classes are hard, other than that, I’m fine.” Zahara told him.

“I’m sure you’re doing well in all of them. Hey? When are you coming to Cambridge, for your HARVARD interview?” Maddox asked.

“In a couple of weeks. Why?” Zahara asked.

“Well, I was thinking about flying up to Boston, to see you.” Maddox explained.

“Really?” Zahara asked. She was now walking in the courtyard in the Student Union.

“Yeah. I need to talk to you about something.” Maddox told her.

“And you can’t do it over the phone or in a e-mail?” Zahara asked. She was becoming very curious.

“No, I can’t.” Maddox said.

“Well, okay. It will be great to see you. I’ll e-mail you my schedule, and we’ll go from there.” Zahara told him.

“Thanks Zee. And, can you do me a favor?” Maddox asked his sister.

“Sure. What is it?” Zahara asked.

“When you talk to the family? Don’t mention my trip to Boston.” Maddox said.

Zahara was really curious now.”Okay. Mums the word.”

“Thanks Zee. I’ll talk to you soon. Love you.” Maddox said.

“I love you, too. Talk to you later. Bye.”

“Bye.” Maddox hanged up his cell.

“I wonder what that was all about.” Zahara said out loud.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Los Angeles that same day, Angelina Jolie Pitt, was in the kitchen of her family’s home, getting Harper’s medication ready. She glanced at the kitchen clock, as she began to count out a assortment of pills. She was still uttterly beautiful. Angelina Jolie Pitt, was one of the few women in her industry, that had aged very well. The OSCAR winning actress, wife, mother, humanitarian, and activist, was one of the most admired and respected women, in the world today.

At that moment, Shiloh Jolie Pitt, Brad and Angelina’s third child, came into the kitchen.

“Hey honey! This is a nice surprise. I didn’t think we were going to see you, until tomorrow.” Angelina smiled.

Shiloh put her messenger bag on the counter. “I decided to start my weekend, a little bit early.” She went into the freezer, and got a pint of Butter Pecan Ice Cream. She walked over to another part of the kitchen, where she got a spoon out of the drawer.

Shiloh Jolie Pitt, was now a sophomre at U.C.L.A. She was tall, blonde and beautiful. She had a dorm room on campus, but she came home on weekends and when her parents needed her. She looked liked a female version of her Father, except for her lips.

“I got my last quiz back today,in organic chemistry.” Shiloh said to her Mother.

“You did? How did you do?” Angelina asked.

Shiloh dug out her bluebook out of her messenger bag. She held it up, so Angelina could see it. It had a red 68 on the front of it.

“Well, at least you didn’t fail.” Angelina said in a encouraging voice.

“Mom, I got the third lowest score in the class. So in a sense, I did fail. How the hell am I going to get into medical school, with ****** grades like this?” Shiloh asked.

After Shiloh donated her bone marrow, to her baby brother Harper, three years ago, it changed her in so many different ways. She realized she wanted her life to have more purpose, even at the tender age of, sixteen. She became more and more interested in science and math. She worked hard in her senior year, of high school. Shiloh applied to various colleges around the country, and was surprised that she was accepted, to each one. She wanted to stay close to her family, so she decided on U.C.L.A, where she was now, a pre- med major.

“You’ll do better next time. All you can ever do Shi, is your best.” Angelina reminded her.

“What if my best, isn’t good enough? I mean last year, was a such a breeze.I mean now, it’s so competitive. People are ******* up each other’s experiments and ****. They don’t **** up mine, because, they know it’s already fucked up. And Zee says, it only gets harder. I mean this is ZEE. She gets ******* straight A’s for christ sakes” Shiloh said. She dug into her ice cream.

“Baby, you’re doing better than you think you are. I have faith in you.” Angelina told her.

“Thanks Mom. At least somebody does.” Shiloh said.

Angelina shook her head and smiled. “Harper! It’s time for your medicine.” Angelina yelled. Harper was in the family room, watching a DVD.

“In a minute.” Harper yelled back in his little voice.

“Not in a minute, NOW!” Angelina yelled back.

Angelina looked at Shiloh. “I swear, he’s just like your Father and AJ.”

“Poor thing.” Shiloh said smiling

“Alright. I’m coming.” Harper yelled back. He finally made his way into the kitchen. His eyes lit up, as soon as he saw Shiloh. He ran right over to her.

“Hi Shiwoe!”

Shiloh sat her ice cream, on the counter. She bent down and picked up, her baby brother. At three years old, Harper Jolie Pitt, was a loving, rambunctious and mischievious little boy. He was an adorable, toddler. He looked just like Brad, except for the, lips. Instead of blonde hair, his hair was very dark. It grew back in dark, after his chemotherapy treatment for his ALL was over. He loved his brothers and sisters. His leukemia, had been in remission for over 2 1/2 years. He was basically a happy, well adjusted, little boy.

“Hey, Marrow man! How’s it going?” Shiloh asked, as she smiled at her brother.

“Fine. I drew a picture of an airplane for Daddy, at pre-school, today” Harper told his sister. He went to pre-school, three times a week. And just like his parents and his brothers he loved airplanes and he loved to fly.

“You did. Well, I can’t wait to see it.” Shiloh said smiling.

Angelina watched Shiloh and Harper. She couldn’t help but smile. They had an incredible bond, between the two of them.

“Okay, Harp. It’s time to take your medicine.” Angelina reminded him.

Although Harper’s leukemia was in remission, he still had to take various kinds of medications, to help him, fight off infections.

“My kemia medicine?” He asked.

“LUEKEMIA.” Angelina corrected him.

“Leukemia?” Harper repeated.

“Yes. That’s better.” Angelina told him smiling.

Shiloh put Harper down. He walked over to where, his step-stool was, the one that Brad made for him. One for the kitchen, and one for the bathroom. He dragged the stool across, the italian tile. He made his way, next to his Mother, where he used the stool, to climb on top of the counter. Angelina held out her hand, where she held a, variety of pills. He began to take them, obediently. Taking his medication, had become second nature, to Harper. Angelina handed him, a small bottle of water.

“All done?” She asked a few minutes later.

“All done, Mommy.” Harper said smiling.

“Good.” Angelina kissed her son. She then went over to the laptop, where she entered the time, date, the type of medicine, and the dosage. She and Brad had a lap top for Harper’s medication, in the kitchen and in his bedroom.

“Oh, I got an e-mail from Mad, this morning.” Angelina said, as she turned off, the computer.

“Oh yeah? How is he and the Ice Princess?” Shiloh asked. Shiloh did not like Apple Martin, at all.

“He and Apple, are fine.” Angelina told her.

“Why is her name Apple? You eat apples.” Harper said.

“Harp, the whole world has been asking that same question, for over twenty years now.” Shiloh said. She then looked at her Mother. “In Mad’s case, he actually, eats OUT Apple”. Shiloh said in a lowered voice.

“Shiloh! He can here you!” Angelina said, pointing at Harper.

“He’s not even listening.” Shiloh said to her Mother.

“Mad eats out Apple?” Harper asked his Mom, with a puzzled look, on his adorable little face.

“See what I mean.” Angelina said to her daughter.

“Well, it’s not my fault, he has big ears!” Shiloh said laughing.

Angelina looked at Shiloh and just shook, her head. “Let’s just change the subject please.”

“Fine with me……..”

“Oh, AJ and Bella have a game tonight. and, I really don’t want Harper in the night air. I know it’s a Friday night, but do you mind babysitting, for your Dad and me?” Angelina asked.

“There’s a couple of frat parties, I may check out. I can do that after the game. So no, not at all.” Shiloh told her.

“Oh, good. Thanks, Shi” Angelina said.

“No problem. Besides, I’m really not in the mood for the, All-American twins and FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS.” Shiloh said.

Both AJ and Bella were now in high school. AJ was the starting quarterback, for the Varsity, Bella was a cheerleader.

“Shi……..”Angelina warned her.

“Well, when they get into their “football world”? They can be so SWEET VALLEY HIGH. It’s so, sweet……….. I get a cavity, just listening to Bella talk” Shiloh said to her Mom.

“I want to see, AJ kick some ass.” Harper said to his Mother. He absolutely adored, his older brother.

Angelina wasn’t sure, she heard him correctly. “What did you say?”

“I want to see, AJ kick some ass.” Harper repeated.

“Where did you hear that word, from?” Angelina asked, her youngest child.

“Kick?” Harper said.

“No. The naughty word.” Angelina said to him.

“Ass?” Harper tried, once again.

“Yes, that one?” Angelina asked.

Harper pointed, shyly at Shiloh. “Shiwoe.”

“Oh Harp, look what time it is! I’ll put you down for your nap now.” Shiloh told him. She scooped him up off of, the kitchen counter and held him, in her arms.

Angelina shook her head and smiled, as they left the kitchen.

“I think Mommy, is mad at us.” Harper said to his sister.

“No, she’s not.” Shiloh said to her brother. She was carrying him, upstairs to his, bedroom.

“Promise?” Harper asked.

“Would I lie to you?” Shiloh asked.

Harper frowned and pouted the famous Angelina Jolie Lips, at his big sister.

“On purpose?” Shiloh asked laughing.

Harper shook his head, no.

Shiloh looked at her baby brother. She gave him a kiss.

“Who loves you”? Shiloh asked.

“Shiwoe does.” Harper answered.

TO BE CONT.

Not bad Harp, but you need more volume. Now, watch the master.” AJ said to his, baby brother.

Both Jolie Pitt brothers were sitting at the kitchen table. Harper in his pajamas and slippers, AJ in a t-shirt and boxer shorts. It was Saturday morning. AJ was reading the sports page. There was a picture of him, scoring a touchdown, in last night’s football game, against the BULLDOGS. AJ was also teaching Harper, how to burp, loudly.

Harper adored his big brother. He watched carefully as AJ took a sip of his milk and then minutes later, burped again. This time, it was very loud.

“That was cool, AJ.” Harper with awe, in his little voice.

“Okay. Now it’s your turn.”AJ said. He poured some milk, into Harper’s little plastic cup. It had a picture of an airplane, on the front of it.

Harper took a sip of his milk. He swallowed it. After a few minutes had passed, Harper let out a burp. This one was a little louder, than his last one.

“How was that?” Harper asked with a big grin on his face.

“Much better.” AJ said grinning back. He museed up Harper’s hair. He love having a little brother.

“What are you looking at?” Harper asked, as he took another sip of his milk. He moved closer to AJ.

“I’m reading the sports page. There’s a story in here, about last night’s game and a picture of me, scoring a touchdown. See?” AJ said. He held up the paper, so Harper could see the picture. It was AJ, doing a quarteback sneak, across the goal line, into the enzone.

Harper looked at the photo of AJ, then at his brother. ” Wow! Do you kick ass?”

AJ laughed. “Your not suppose to say that word.”

“Shiwoe does, all the time.” Harper pointed out.

“Yeah, and she has big mouth too. But, to answer your question, yeah, I kicked ass.” AJ aid smiling. Harper smiled back.

Just at the moment, Bella joined them. She was wearing riding clothes and boots.

“Morning, Harpie!” Bella said to her youngest brother. She walked over where Harper and AJ were sitting at the table. She began to smother Harper with kisses, all over his adorable little face.

“Stop Bellie! Stop!” Harper said, in bewteen fits of giggles.

“Ease up Bella. Your going to hurt the poor, little guy.” AJ told his twin.

“AJ, too much loving never hurts anyone.” Bella told him. She helped herself, to a glass of milk.”Are you guys, the only ones up?”

“Yeah. Just me and Harp.” AJ told her.

“I tried to wake up Shiwoe, but she told me to beat up, and come back at noon.” Harper said to Bella. He looked at the clock, that was on the wall, and then back at the twins. “Is it noon yet?”

“Not yet, buddy. We’ll wake her up in a few minutes.” AJ said smiling.

“Bellie, watch this?” Harper said. He took a sip of his milk, then a few minutes later, he let out a loud burp. “AJ taught me that.” Harper told her, with a huge grin on his face.

“Nice AJ. Between you and Shiloh, he is going to be ruined, before he turns 5 years old. What are you going to teach him next? How to ****?” Bella asked.

“I already know how to do that, Bellie.” Harper said with pride, in his voice.

AJ laughed.”Hey Harp? Give me some ‘knuckles’!”

Harper formed a fist, with one of his small hands, and he gave AJ some knuckles. Just like his big brother showed him.

“Harp, I love you. But sometimes, I wish you were a girl.” Bella told him, shaking her head.

Harper frowned at his sister.

Bella laughed. “Hey, I’m going to go for a ride with SKY, he’s going to be hungry, when we get back to the stables. Do you want to help me, feed him?”

Harper nodded his head, excitedly.”Yes. Can I hold the carrots, while SKY eats them?”

“Yes. Do you remember how I showed you?” Bella asked.

“Yes. Harper said smiling. “Can I feed him, the sugar cubes, too?”

Bella smiled. ” Yes, the sugar cubes, too. See ya guys later.” Bella left the kitchen.

“Bye, Bellie.” Harper said, waving.

AJ’S TAG HEUER watch alarm, went off. He glanced down at it, and noticed the time.

“Harp, it’s time for your medicine.”

“Okay.” Harper answered.

AJ got up from the kitchen table, and walked over to the counter, and began to get Harper’s medication ready. Harper’s medicine was upstairs and downstairs. With an assortment of pills in his hands, AJ got a small bottle of water, out of the refrigerator, he then walked back to where Harper was sitting. AJ unscrewed the cap, from the bottle. He handed the water to Harper. He in turn, beagn to take his medicine.

AJ logged all the info regarding Harper’s medication, into the laptop computer. A few minutes later AJ asked. “All done buddy?”

“All done.” Harper replied. Then he burped, for good measure.

” That’s a good boy. Give me some more knuckles.” AJ said smiling. Harper gave is brother, some more, knuckles.

Brad breezed into the kitchen. “Morning, guys.”

“Morning, Daddy!” Harper shouted.

“Morning, Dad.” AJ said.

Brad walked over where Harper was sitting. He picked him up and gave him a eskimo kiss. That was the way, they always greeted one another.

“How are you this morning? Did you sleep well?” Brad asked.

“Uh huh. AJ was teaching me how to burp loud and there’s a picture of him, in the paper.” Harper told his Father.

Brad glanced at AJ “Really?”

“Yeah. It’s the picture of me, scoring our first touch down.” AJ explained.

“That’s great son.” Brad said with pride in his voice.

“Daddy? Do you want to hear me burp?” Harper asked Brad.

“Sure, my man.” Brad said laughing.

AJ handed Harper him his, bottle of water. The precocious little boy, took a sip and a few minutes later, he burped.

Brad laughed. “Not bad. But watch the master.”

“AJ said he was the master.” Harper protested.

“Who do you think, taught AJ?” Brad said laughing. He took a sip out of Harper’s water bottle. Harper watched Brad, wide eyed. A few minutes later, Brad let out a very loud burp.

“Wow Daddy, that was better than AJ!” Harper said laughing.

“Told you, I was the master.” Brad said smiling. He gave Harper a kiss. “Hey, instead of burping, why don’t you guys, help me with breakfast.” Brad told them.

“Sure Dad.” AJ said. He got up from the kitchen table, and walked over toward the the refrigerator.

“Hey Harp? Do you want to help me, break some eggs?” Brad asked.

“Yeah!” Harper said smiling. He loved to crack eggs into a bowl. Brad let him do it, everytime they were together, when he was fixing breakfast. He sat Harper on the counter. Brad looked at the kitchen clock.

“AJ? Did Harper take his medication?” Brad asked.

“Yeah. I gave it to him, just before you came into the kitchen.” AJ told him.

“Did you enter the info,into the laptop?” Brad asked. Harper’s medicatiom, was extremely important.

“Yeah.” AJ said. he was starting to fry some bacon.

“Thanks, son.” Brad told him.

Soon, the Jolie Pitt men, had breakfast, almost made.

Angelina came into the kitchen. “Morning, everyone.”

“Morning, Mommy!” Harper said smiling.

“Morning, baby. Gives me a kiss.” Angelina said smiling.

Harper gave his Mother and a kiss and a hug.

“Did you sleep alright, last night?” Angelina asked.

“Yeah, Mommy.” Harper told her.

“You’re such a good, hugger.” Angelina said smiling. She gave him another hug.

“What about me?” Brad asked. He had a pretend frown, on his face.

“What about you?” Angelina teased him. She sat Harper down on the counter. She walked over where Brad was standing. He was finishing up, scambling the eggs. Angelina gave him a kiss, on his lips.

“I thought I took care of you, upstairs.” Angelina said in a low voice.

” Yeah. But that was over an hour ago.” Brad said smiling.

AJ looked at his parents and smiled. “Okay you guys, there are two minors in the room.”

“Yeah.” Harper said, just to be saying it. He didn’t have any idea, what his brother was talking about. He always saw, his Mommy and Daddy kissing and hugging one another.

“I think I better get back to these eggs, before I burn them.” Brad said smiling, at Angelina.
