OlderBrad Shoots Softbank — Take Three!
Brad’s back!!
After dropping the kids off at school in the morning, Brad Pitt was back on the set of Softbank, a Japanese telecommunications company, in Prague, Czech Republic.
The father-of-four filmed the third segment of a commercial for Softbank’s latest cell phone model dressed in a snappy white suit. (The first segment was a gray suit and the second segment was a black suit.)
The scene of the commercial involved everyone dressed in white playing soccer — nuns, body builders, and a large group of children. It doesn’t look like a typical soccer match since Brad is touching the soccer ball with his hands but he does get more and more involved as the commercial goes on. In the pictures, you can also see lots of white buttondown shirts hanging from clotheslines.
Shoud be an interesting cell phone commercial… 10+ pictures inside…

Maddox was sitting at a table, in the No 9 Park Restaurant, located in the Beacon Hill neighborhood, of Boston. He had just ordered a Samuel Adams, and now was waiting for Zahara, to meet him for dinner. She had called him after her interview was over, telling him, that she would stop by the hotel, for a quick shower and change. Maddox glanced at his TAG HEUER watch, he was thinking about Apple. She would be leaving the museum right now. A smile crept onto his handsome face. Thinking about Apple, always made Maddox smile.
To Maddox, Apple was sweet, funny, smart, generous, and sensitive. To others, she came across as selfish, cold, insensitive, and very spolied. The problem was, that she rarely let other people see, what Maddox saw. She had inherited both of her parents looks. She had the peaches and cream complexion and the slim physique of her mother, and the vibrant blue eyes of her father. She was a beautiful young woman. She and Maddox made a striking pair. And as Maddox sat and dranked his beer, this was the woman, that he wanted to marry. .
Zahara had finally made it to the restaurant. Rush hour traffic was terrible. The Red Sox hosting a playoff game at Fenway Park, didn’t help matters. Heads turned, when Zahara Jolie Pitt entered the restaurant. Maddox stood up and smiled, as the owner of the restaurant, brought her to their table. Brad and Angelina Jolie Pitt’s oldest children, were attracting a lot of atttention, as they always did, when they were together.
“I’m so sorry, I’m late.” Zahara aplogized. She gave her brother a kiss and a hug.
“You look wonderful.” Maddox said smiling.
“Thank You.” Zahara said smiling, as she sat down.
A waiter came right over to their table, he took Zahara’s drink order.
“I can say the same thing about you.” Zahara told him.
“Well, work is good. And so is my personal life. We’ll get back to me, in a bit. How was your interview?” Maddox asked.
Zahara buttered a piece of bread. “It went well Mad. Better than I expected.” She took a bite of the french bread.
“So when HARVARD accepts you, are you coming east?” Maddox asked. He took a sip of his beer.
“They haven’t accepted me yet, Mad.” Zahara reminded her brother.
“Oh, but they will. So do you think you will like living in Cambridge for the next three years?” Maddox asked with curiosity in his voice. He looked at Zahara. He was so proud of his little sister. She had worked hard at STANFORD and, it was really paying off, for her.
“I don’t know. But if they do accept me, It will be very hard to turn them down. I mean Mad, from Ethiopia to Cambridge? Talk about a journey.” Zahara said, shaking her head.
“Your journey, is just begining. Where ever you decide to go, that institution, will be very lucky to have you. I’m proud of you, Zee.” Maddox said smiling.
The waiter sat a Samuel Adam’s beer and a glass in front of Zahara, smiled at the both of them, told them to let him know, when they were ready to order.
“Thanks, Mad. Speaking of journey’s. I take it you didn’t fly up to Boston, to talk me about my medical school plans.” Zahara said. She took a sip of her beer.
Maddox looked at his sister and then he took a deep breath.” I’m going to ask Apple to marry me.”
Zahara looked at Maddox, with shock and surprise, written all over her face. She knew that they were serious about one another, but not this serious. There was a few moments of silence, between the two of them.
“Say something.” Maddox broke the ice.
“I think, I need something a little stronger, than this beer.” Zahara told him.
“Come on Zee. Cut it out.” Maddox said laughing.
“Are you serious Mad?” Zahara asked.
“Very serious. The jeweler delivered the ring to me, yesterday.” Maddox informed his sister.
“Wow. You and Apple getting married.” Zahara said. She was still a bit surprised.
“Well, she hasn’t said yes, yet.” Maddox reminded his sister.
“Oh, she will. I suppose Mom and Daddy, don’t know anything about this.” Zahara said. She took a healthy sip of her beer.
“No, they don’t. In fact you’re the only one that knows. And for now, I want to keep it that way.” Maddox explained. He still needed to talk to Chris and Gwyneth. Maddox wanted to ask Chris’s permission, if he could marry his daughter. He was old fashioned in that way. Just like his father.
“Well, you better fess up soon. Because news like this, is going to be hard to keep a secret. Are you and Apple ready for all of this?” Zahara asked.
“Ready for what? Marriage? Of course we are.” Maddox told his sister.
“I’m talking about the media frenzy, that will surround you and Apple, our family, her family, until the day you guys get married.” Zahara pointed out.
“Zee, I’ve had my picture taken, by the paparazzi, since I was a baby.” Maddox told her.
“I’m not talking about pictures Mad. That will be the least of your worries. Have you forgotten, that both of our families, have this weird quirky history?” Zahara asked.
“That’s ancient history Zee. No one cares about that.” Maddox said, dismissing his sister.
“History, that can rear, it’s ugly head. Mad, our father was once engaged to marry Apple’s mother. People are going to care about that.” Zahara pointed out. “Everything, I mean everything, about Daddy and Gwyneth’s relationship is going to be dug up. Interviews, pictures, quotes. And you know, they are going to go after Mom, too. Mom and Gwyneth, planning a wedding together, for their kids? The media, is going to eat that up. Remember when Daddy, will tell us stories about JFK and his brother Bobby? The stories he told us, about how the media was, when JFKJR got married? Now, Brad Pitt’s son, marrying his ex-fiancee’s daughter? It’s going to be a circus. I just hope you and Apple, are ready for all of this.”
“Zee, I think your exagerating a bit. I mean JFKJR? He was America’s prince.” Maddox said laughing.
“Am I Mad? Your Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Pitt’s son. Their oldest child. Think about it. I love you. I just don’t want to see you get hurt.” Zahara said softly.
“What is that suppsoe to mean? You don’t want to see me, get hurt. Are you talking about, what happened between me and Apple?” Maddox asked. His tone was a bit defensive.
Zahara looked at her brother. She loved him so much. She remembered, when they were little kids, when it was just them and their Mom and Dad. “I wasn’t going to bring that up, but since you did, yes. Mad, she cheated on you.” Zahara said, in a soft voice.
Maddox took a healthy swig of his beer. “That was a long time ago. Me and Apple have worked through all that. She was young. I’m to blame too. It wasn’t all her fault. I love her, Zee. I want to spend the rest of my life, with her.”
Zahara smiled at Maddox. She only wanted, what was best for him.” She’s a lucky girl. I hope she knows that. So, when are you going to pop the question?”
“Soon as I talk to Chris and Gwyneth.” Maddox told her.
“Your my big brother and I love you. I’ll support you, any way I can.” Zahara said softly.
Maddox smiled. “Thanks Zee. I love you too.”
“So when are you going to tell Mom and Daddy?” Zahara asked.
“As soon as Apple, accepts my proposal.” Maddox said.
“Well, I’m sure their reaction, is going to be very interesting. I don’t think I’ll be coming home, THAT weekend.” Zahara said smiling.
Maddox laughed.
Shaking her head. “Wait until Shi hears about this. You know how she feels about Apple. She is going to freak out.”
“She can freak out, all she wants. She’ll just have to deal with it and accept it, just like everyone else will.” Maddox said.
Zahara laughed. “Easier said then done.”
“Zee, Apple will hopefully, be marrying me, not my famliy.” Maddox ponited out.
Zahara looked at her brother. He was truly in love. There was such joy in his eyes. They actually lit up, when ever he talked about Apple.
“Are you sure about that, Mad?”

“Okay son. I appreciate you calling me. My daughter is a very lucky, young woman. Yes.” Chris Martin, paused a moment, then he continued on. “I sure will. I’ll give Gwyneth your love. Okay Maddox. I’ll be talking to you, real soon. No, thank you. Alright. Goodbye.”
Chris Martin hung up his cell phone. Maddox had called, to ask Chris’s permission, for Apple’s hand in marriage. He was in the study of his London home, that he shared with his wife for over twenty years, Gwyneth Paltrow. They divided their time, between London and New York. Their youngest child Moses, was a student at NYU. He was an aspiring singer and songwriter. Chris had embarked on a solo career, when Apple was ten. It had been very successful. And just this past summer, he and COLDPLAY had just finished a worldwide tour. It was the first time in years, that the band had played together on stage.. Now he just learned, that Maddox Jolie Pitt, was going to ask his only daughter, to marry him.
“Who was that on the phone?” Gwyneth asked, as she came into the room.
“Maddox.” Chris said, in his English accent.
“Oh yeah. How is he ?” Gwyneth asked. She selected a book from the huge mohagany bookcase.
“He’s doing just fine. He’s going to ask Apple, to marry him. He called to ask, for my permission.” Chris said. He sat down in a leather chair.
Gwyneth stopped what she was doing. She looked at her husband. “What did you say?”
“Maddox is going to propose, to Apple.” Chris repeated.
Gwyneth sat down, across from her husband. She had a look of shock and disbelief on her face. Gwyneth Kate Paltrow was considered by many in her field, a very good actress. An Oscar winner, she always picked and chose her roles, very carefully. By doing so, she had a very diverse and successful, film career. After all these years, she was still one of the faces of ESTEE LAUDER. She had just finished shooting their spring campaign last month, in Paris. There was the public Gwyneth and the very private Gwyneth.
“Maddox is going to ask Apple to marry him? He actually said that?” She sked her husband, of more than twenty years.
“Yes, luv. He has the ring and everything. He sounded, very happy.” Chris explained. He looked at his wife. She still looked the same, as she did, the first day, he met her. Older of course, but still beautiful.
“I knew they were serious about one another, this time. I mean living together, and everything. But I had no idea.” Gwyneth said with surprise, in her voice.
“When was the last time, you spoke to Apple?” Chris asked.
“Sometime last week. Wow………..” Gwyneth told him.
“You know when this comes out, the bloody TABS, are going to have a field day, with this. Here, and in the States.” Chris paused for a moment. “Luv, they are going to dig up anything and everything, about you and Brad’s relationship.”
“Honey, that’s ancient history. That was, five lifetimes, ago.” Gwyneth said. But as she said that, images of Brad, began to pop up in her head. Working together on the movie SE7EN. Falling in love, getting engaged. Hollywood, labeling them, ‘the perfect couple’. Their breakup, which was her fault, that had left her completely, devastated. She was thankful, for the therapy she endured. It took Gwyneth years, to get over Brad. The flowers and the congratulations he sent her, after she won her Oscar, and the very kind words, he had for her, when her father died. Meeting up again at the LIVE 8 Concert, sharing baby pictures of Apple, with him. Brad telling Gwyneth, how beautiful she was, and that she and Chris, were very lucky. LIVE 8 was where Brad had met Chris, for the first time. And now, after all these years, his son, was going to ask her daughter, for her hand in marriage.
Chris interrupted Gwyneth’s trip, down memory lane.”You know how the TABS are luv, they won’t care. They will bring all that history, back to the present. I guarantee, bloody well, they will. Are you ready for that?” Chris asked. He knew all the details about Brad and Gwyneth’s previoous relationship.
“My only concern is what this may do to Apple and Maddox. I don’t care about that other stuff. I’ve been in those rags, all my adult life. What about you?” She asked her husband.
“What about me?” Chris asked.
“How do you feel about about the thought of Brad’s son, marrying your little girl? My ex-fiancee?” Gwyneth asked. She shifted in her chair.
“I gave him my permission luv. I don’t have a problem with it. As long as Apple is happy, that’s all I care about.” Chris told her. He paused, before continuing on. “Do you have a problem with it? After all, I was never engaged to him, you were darling.”
“Honey, me and Brad thank god, have a good relationship. I’ve acted in three different movies, he has produced. When Apple and Maddox started dating, the first time? Sure it was a bit strange and awkward. But now, he and Angie are friends of ours. And if Apple accepts Maddox’s proposal, soon we’ll be in-laws.”
“Uh, Angie. Bloody TABS are going to go after her, too. You and Angie, planning a wedding together. The bloody SUN is going to love that!”
Gwyneth smiled at Chris. “Stranger things have happened.”
“Not this strange, luv.” Chris said, laughing.
Gwyneth didn’t want to admit it, but Chris was right. The media, the PAPS, the TABS, all of them are going to have a field day with this. She wasn’t really sure, how she was going to handle it.

“Oh, Maddie………………Yes, I’ll marry you! I love you so, much!” Apple Martin said, with tears running down here cheeks.
Maddox slipped the 6 carat cushion cut, diamond platinum ring on Apple’s ring finger, on her left hand. He gave her a tender kiss and smiled. They had just enjoyed a romantic dinner, at Tavern on the Green. Now, they were riding in a hansom cab, heading down, Fifth Avenue.
“I can’t believe that you had this all planned. The dinner.” Apple paused for a moment, looking at Maddox. “The proposal, this beautiful ring.”
Maddox smiled. “Oh, I almost forgot.” He reached down and pulled out a bottle of vintage Dom Perignon champagne, the year, Apple was born. And two crystal champange flutes. He opened the bottle with expertise and poured some of the sparkling wine, into both flutes.
“To us. I love you. Then. Now. Forever.” Maddox said smiling.
“I love you too.” Apple said, smiling through tears.
They clinked the flutes and began sipping the champagne. The driver looked back at them and just smiled.
“I want to call my parents and Moses.” Apple said with excitement in her voice. She reached into her PRADA bag and grabbed her cell phone.
“Chris and Gwyneth, already know.”Maddox informed her.
Apple looked at Maddox,with a bit of confusion on her face. “They do?”
“Well, they know that I was going to ask you to marry me. I asked your Dad, for his permission.” Maddox explained.
Apple smiled at Maddox. “You did? You really asked for his permission?”
Maddox shook his head, yes. He smiled. “That’s the kind of guy, I am. My parents raised me, right.”
“Speaking of your parents, let’s call them and tell them, the good news.” Apple said. She began to speed dial, Brad and Angelina’s home number.
“Honey, news like this, I think I should tell them, in person.” Maddox said.
Apple stopped dialing. “Okay. When do we fly, to LA?”
Maddox looked at his fiancee. He didn’t want to hurt her feelings, but he felt that he should go to LA, alone.
“Honey, I think I should go by myself.”
The look of disappointment, clouded Apple’s face.
“Oh, don’t look at me like that. News like this, should come from me, in person and by myself, that’s all.”Maddox gave her a quick kiss.
“Alright. Whatever you think is best. Your parents have always been nice to me. Give them my love.” Apple told him.
“I will.”Maddox said.
“You know, AJ has always been nice to me, too. It’s your sisters, that don’t really like me.” Apple said.
“That’s not true. They like you.” Maddox said, defending his sisters.
“Let me correct myself. Bella likes me. Zahara, tolerates me. It’s the ‘chosen one’, that hates me.” Apple told him.
“She really hates being called that. I know you and Shi, have had your differences, but that’s in the past. You’re going to be my wife, a part of my family.” Maddox told her. He gave her another kiss.

“So, you learned the color yellow, today?” Angelina asked Harper, as she concentrated on the traffic. She had just picked him up, from pre-school. He was sitting in the back seat, in a carseat, in one of the Jolie Pitt’s Rovers.
“Yeah, Mommy. We colored things, that were yellow.” Harper told her.
“So, tell me some things that are yellow.” Angelina said.
“Okay. Uh……….nanas.” Harper said.
“B-A-N-A-N-A-S.” Angelina. corrected him.
“Bananas.” Harper said, proudly.
“Good. What else?” Angelina asked smiling.
“Lemons.” Harper said.
“Good. What else?” Angelina asked.
“Kool Bus.” Harper said.
“S-C-H-O-O-L Bus.” Angelina said, laughing.
“School Bus.” Harper repeated, correctly.
“Good Job, Baby. Anything else?” Angelina asked, her youngest child.
“PEE PEE!” Harper, nearly shouted.
“Harper! You didn’t say that to Ms. Barbara did you?” Angelina asked. She glanced quickly, at her son.
Harper shook his head, yes. “Mommy, it is yellow. When I go potty, it comes out yellow.”
“Yeah, I know. But let’s think of something else, that’s yellow. What do you and Daddy fix for breakfast, all the time?” Angelina asked.
Harper thought for a few minutes. His little face, looked just like Brad’s, when he was thinking.
“Eggs?”
“Yes, eggs. Next time you see Ms. Barbara, I think you should tell her, that.” Angelina told him. She couldn’t help but laugh, a little bit.
“But Mommy, eggs are white. We learned that color, last week.” Harper told his Mom.
“That’s true Baby. But what color are they, when Daddy let’s you break them?” Angelina asked, shaking her head. Jeeze, this kid was perceptive.
“Yellow” Harper told her.
“See. They are yellow.” Angelina said smiling.
“But Mommy, their white too.” Harper argued.
“Yeah. They are yellow AND white. Some are brown and white. Do you understand that?” Angelina asked him.
Harper shook his head, yes. “But Mommy, pee pee is always yellow, when I go potty.”
Angelina’s cell phone rang.
“Mommy, your phone!” Harper said in a loud voice.
“I know Baby, thank you”. Angelina told him. Saved by the bell, she thought to herself. Harper was actually, winning this debate. She dug through her LOUIS VUITTON tote and grabbed her phone. She smiled, when she saw the caller ID. It was Brad.
“Hey, Baby!”
“Hey, yourself. What’s going on?” Brad asked. He was in San Diego at the wrap party/BBQ. He had finished, directing his first film.
“Oh nothing. I just picked up Harp from school. We’re on are way home.” Angelina explained.
“I see. Well, I’ll be leaving the party shortly. Depending on the air traffic, I should be back at Burbank, in a couple of hours and then, home.” Brad told her.
“Okay. Be safe. And I will see you soon. I love you.” Angelina said smiling.
“I will. I love you too. Tell Harp hi.” Brad told her.
“I will. Bye Baby.” Angelina said.
“Bye.” Brad said smiling.
Angelina hung up her cell phone. She glanced at Harper. “That was Daddy. He told me to tell you, hi. He’ll be home later.”
“Hi Daddy!” Harper said out loud.
Angelina’s cell phone rang, again.
“Mommy, it’s your phone again.” Harper said to his Mom.
“I know. It’s probably your Daddy again.” Angelina told him. She grabbed her phone, once more and looked at the caller ID. It was a Manhattan telephone number. She smiled again.
“Madness!”
“Hi Mom!” Maddox said. He was calling from his office. “How are you?”
“I’m doing fine. I’m in the Rover with Harper. I just picked him up, from school. How are you?” Angelina asked.
“I’m doing great. In fact, better than great.” Maddox told her.
“Oh?” Angelina asked. She could hear the excitement in his voice.
“I thought I fly out and see you guys. I want to talk to you, about something. And, I don’t want to do it, over the phone.” Maddox explained.
Angelina was getting curious. “Okay. When are you coming west?”
“In a day or so.” Maddox told her.
“Is Apple coming with you?” Angelina asked.
“No. This is a solo trip.” Maddox told her.
“I see………….Well your timing is perfect.” Angelina told him.
“What do you mean by that?” Maddox asked. It was his turn, to be curious.
“Well, the GULFSTREAM just finished it’s quarterly maintenance check in Essex.” Angelina told him.
“New Jersey?” Maddox asked.
“Yes. You can fly the jet back here, to LA.” Angelina explained.
“Nice. Now I don’t have to fly, commercial. Thanks, Mom. My timing is good, among other things, too.” Maddox said, with a smile in his voice.
“Care to elaborate?” Angelina asked.
“I tell you, when I see you.” Maddox said, laughing.
“Alright, Mad. I’ll have Amanda call you, with the details, regarding the jet. So, I guess, I’ll see you soon.” Angelina told him. Amanda, was Angelina’s assistant.
“Yes, in a day or two. Oh, and I want to take everyone, out to dinner. So let the crew know that. Hopefully, they don’t have other plans. Thanks for the ride, on the jet.” Maddox said.
“I will. And, your welcome. I love you.” Angelina told him.
“I love you too, Mom. Kiss Harper for me.” Maddox told her.
Angelina hanged up her phone.Something was going on with Maddox, she thought to herself. She just wished, she knew, what it was.

Maddox was able to get a whole lot of work done, on the long flight across the country. He also kept thinking about, how she he should tell his family, that he and Apple were engaged to be married. Stall? No. That wasn’t really his style. Blurt it out? No. That wasn’t really his style, either. When the GULFSTREAM, finally touched down at Burbank Airport, he still wasn’t quite sure, how he was going to break the news.
He was surprised when he saw Brad on the tarmac. It was good to see his father, again. Brad gave him a hug and grabbed his carry on, and they got into the Rover. They talked about everything. His building, sports, the family. They talked about everything, except Apple. When they reached the Jolie Pitt Home, Maddox still hadn’t mentioned her.
It felt good to be home again. “Hello. Is anybody here?’ Maddox asked, as he walked through, the large house.
“Were in here.” Angelina called out, from the family room. Harper was watching a DVD , Angelina was doing some work, on her laptop.
“Hey Baby? Look who I found, hanging out at Burbank Airport.” Brad said smiling, as he and Maddox eneterd the family room.
“Madness!” Angelina got up and walked over where Brad and Maddox were standing. She gave him a hug and a kiss. Harper was right behind, her.
“Hi, Mom. So good to see you. You look fantastic, as always.” Maddox said, smiling.
“I was about to say the same thing, to you, baby.” Angelina hugged him again. She missed her, oldest child.
“Hi Mad!” Harper nearly yelled. He was glad to see his big brother, too.
Maddox bent down and scooped up, Harper. “Hey Buddy! How are you?” It was good to see his baby, brother.
“I’m fine. I’m glad your here!” Harper said smiling. He gave his brother a hug and a kiss.
Angelina and Brad watched Maddox and Harper, smiling.
“Hey. I have a few things for you.” Maddox said to Harper. Maddox sat Harper down, on one of the overstuffed couches. He walked over to, where his carry on bag was. Beside it, was two big shopping bags, from FAO SCHWARZ. Harper’s eyes grew big, as Maddox sat the bags, in front of him.
“Here you go, Buddy. Just a few things from your big brother. I think there is something in there, from Apple too.”
“Wow! Thanks Mad!” Harper said. He began to open his presents.
“Mad, you’re going to spoil him. You could have waited, until Christmas.” Angelina scolded him.
“Christmas is still almost a month away. Besdies, what are big brothers for?” Maddox said smiling.
“By the way, how is Apple?” Brad asked. “You didn’t mention her at all, on the drive home.”
Maddox sat down on the couch and loosened his tie. “She’s good. She sends you both, her love.”
“Mommy, Daddy? Look what Mad got me!” Harper was holding up a huge model airplane.
“That’s cool, Harp. What do you say, to Mad?” Brad asked him.
“Thank You, Mad.” Harper said. He got up and gave Maddox another hug and a kiss.
“Your welcome, Buddy.” Maddox told him. He hugged his little brother, back.
A few minutes later, Harper had all of his presents opened, including a fire engine, from Apple.
“Okay little man, it’s nap time.” Brad told him
Harper looked up at his father, with the same baby blue eyes, that Brad had. “I don’t want to take a nap. I want to play with my new toys.” Harper whined. Then he began, to pout.
“Harper? It’s time for your nap. We don’t whine and pout in this house, remember?” Brad told him.
“But, I want to play with Mad.” Harper told his parents.
“Harper, listen to Daddy. It’s time for your nap. You can play with Mad, later.” Angelina told him.
Harper looked up at Maddox. “You’ll still be here, when I wake up?”
“I’m not going anywhere. I want to play with that airplane too, but after your nap.” Maddox told him.
“Promise?” Harper asked.
“I promise.” Maddox said, smiling.
“Okay.” Harper said.
Brad scooped him up, and carried Harper like a sack of flour, as they went upstairs.
“God Mom, he looks so good. He’s getting so big. He looks just like Dad, except for the dark hair, they look almost like twins.” Maddox told his Mother.
“His last appointment with Kyle, was so good Mad. Both his RBC and WBC were normal. So was the CBC. There’s no sign of the cancer.” Angelina said, with relief in her voice and a huge smile, on her face.
“That’s good news. I made a dinner reservation at Mr. Chow’s. I hope Shi and the twins are free.” Maddox told his Mom.
“They actually are.” Angelina told him. She looked at her oldest child. “Mr. Chow’s for dinner? Visiting us, during the week? Okay, Chivan. What are you up to?”
Maddox laughed. “I just wanted to see you guys, and have a little dinner. That’s all.”
“Liar.” Angelina said smiling. “I’m glad your here, anyway. I’ve missed you.” Angelina hugged her son, again.
“I’ve missed you too, Mom.”
Later that evening, the whole family, had a wonderful dinner. They couldn’t stop talking and laughing. Maddox looked around the table, at his family. It was too bad, Apple wasn’t here. Maybe he should of brought her. He was starting to feel a little guilty. Maddox decided when they got home, he would tell them, about the engagement.
Harper had fallen asleep, on the drive home. Brad carried him tenderly in his arms, as they all made their way into the family room.
“Daddy, I’ll take him. I’ll put him to bed.” Bella told Brad.
“Thanks, Button.” He kissed Harper and handed him, to Bella.
“Bella, baby, I know he’s going to be a terror, but he has to take his medicine.” Angelina reminded her.
“Oh, I know. I’ll make sure he takes it.” Bella said smiling. She and Harper left the room and went upstairs.
“Mad, it was great seeing you. Thanks for dinner, but I hate to eat and run, I have to get back to the campus. I have a book on reserve at the Science Library. I need to pick it up, before they close.” Shiloh explained.
“Shi? Can you hang around, just a bit more? I want to talk to you guys, about something.” Maddox told her.
Shiloh sat down, next to AJ.
Angelina looked at her son. She knew there was something going on. Her heart skipped a beat:Oh god, what if there was something wrong with him, healthwise.
“Mad? What’s going on.” Angelina paused for a moment. “You’re not sick are you?”
All eyes focused on him. “No, Mom. I’m not sick. It’s nothing like that.”
“Then what is it?” AJ asked.
“I’ll tell you as soon as Bella, comes back.” Maddox told him.
A few minutes later, Bella did come back into the family room. She sat down, next to Maddox.
“Did you get him, to take his medicine?” Angelina asked.
“Yes. He didn’t put up too much of a fight.” Bella explained.
“And you logged, everything into, the laptop?” Angelina asked.
“Yeah, Mom.” Bella told her.
“Thanks, Baby.” Angelina said smiling.
“Okay Mad. What do you want to talk to us, about?” AJ asked.
Maddox took a deep breath, and looked at his family. “Apple and I are engaged to be married.”
You could near a pin drop. Brad and Angelina looked at one another, then they looked at Maddox. The twins and Shiloh looked at one another, their parents and then, back at Maddox.
“HOLY ****!” Shiloh said, breaking the silence. “You’re not seriously, thinking about marrying that *****! Are you Mad?”
Maddox looked at his parents, then at his brothers and sisters, and then back at Shiloh. Zee was right: Let the freaking, began. “That ‘*****’ as you so call her, is my fiancee. Soon, she we’ll be my wife and a part of this family. I would appreciate it very much, that you wouldn’t call her that.”
“Mad? Is this true? You really asked Apple, to marry you?” Brad asked with utter shock and surprise in his voice.
“Yeah, Dad I did. And she said yes.” Maddox told him.
Angelina looked at her oldest child. She knew something was going on with him, but she had no idea, it was this. There a was look of shock and surprise on her beautiful face, too. “When did you ask her?”
“A few days ago.” Maddox said.
“Do Chris and Gwyneth know about this?” Brad asked.
“Yes, they do. In fact, I asked Chris’s permission, before I asked Apple.” Maddox told him.
“How ‘ROMEO AND JULIET of you.” Shiloh said. She couldn’t believe that her brother had actually asked Apple to marry him. Of course she said, yes.
Brad was totally caught off guard, by the news. But he was proud of Maddox, how he went about things.
Shiloh continued to look at her brother.”Have you’ve forgotten something?”
“What’s that Shi?” Maddox asked.
“That our family and her family have this kinda of fucked up SIX DEGREE OF SEPARATION going on. Hello! Dad was once engaged to marry, Apple’s mother.” Shiloh reminded him.
“I haven’t forgotten Shi. That has nothing to do with me and Apple. That’s all in the past.” Maddox looked at Brad.” I’m sorry Dad, but that’s YOUR past.”
Shiloh looked at Brad and then back at Maddox.”Well, when the media finds out about this, it’s going to be, ALL of our past. They’ll make sure of that. They are going to dig up everything, I mean EVERYTHING about Dad and Gwyneth’s relationship. Every picture, every interview, every quote. Hell, you know they are going to drag Mom into, all of this too. The TABS are going to have a ******* field day with this. And those ******** in England? They are going to show no mercy. I hope you realize all of this.”
Maddox let out a heavy sigh. “The thought has crossed my mind, Shi. I know the media is going to have a little interest in this. Considering, who our parents are.”
” A little?! The PAPS are going to be all over us. They will be on your ass, until you say, ‘I Do’. Soon as this gets out, they will be camped out, outside of your loft.”
“Damn Shi! Ease up a bit!” AJ told his sister.
Shiloh rolled her eyes. “And let’s not forget the obvious: She did cheat on you.”
“Great! THAT’S JUST ******* GREAT! I was just wondering, how long was it going to take, for you to throw that, in my face!” Maddox yelled. He was starting to get pissed.
“Guys…………….Brad said with warning, in his voice.
“It’s common knowledge Mad. Everyone in this room, knows that she cheated on you.” Shiloh told him.
“That was a long time ago. She regrets that. We both, have worked very hard, to get through all of that, and to put it, all behind us.” Maddox told her.
“You act like she cheated on her taxes or something. Mad, she was ******* some one else, the same time, she was ******* you.”
“SHILOH, STOP! Here’s our big brother, sharing something that is special, wonderful and important to him. Give the guy a break!” Bella said.
Shiloh rolled her eyes, at Bella too.
“Mad, Marriage is such a big step. Your relationship with Apple, does have some baggage. Are you sure about this?” Angelina asked him.
“Well, you and Dad had baggage too. Three divorces between the two of you. That didn’t stop you guys, from getting married.” Maddox pointed out.
“Oh, don’t even go there Mad. Your relationship with Apple, is so different from Mom and Dad’s. Neither one of them, cheated on one another.” Shiloh reminded him.
“Did you give her a ring Mad?” Bella asked, trying to bring something positive to the discussion.
“Yeah, Bella I did. She cried, when I put it on her finger.” Maddox smiled at the memory.
“How did you propose to her?” Bella asked. She wanted to hear, all the details.
“Well, we had dinner at Tavern on the Green, then we took a ride in a hansom cab, down Fifth avenue. I just asked her, and she said yes.” Maddox explained.
Brad and Angelina looked at one another, while Maddox was talking to Bella. They could hear the joy in his voice.
“That’s so romantic.” Bella said, smiling.
“Uh speaking of being romantic: You are going to have her, sign a pre-nup.” Shiloh said to Maddox.
Maddox didn’t say anything, right away.
“Oh, for **** sakes Mad! Please tell me, that you’re going to have her, sign a pre-nup. God forbid, if you two, ever break up, you know she will come after your money, this family’s money, and that includes MY money.” Shiloh told him. She could not believe, what she was hearing.
“Relax Shiloh. I will have her sign a pre-nup.” Maddox told her.
“Thank God, for small favors.” Shiloh said.
“Dad, I was hoping your attorney can help me with that.” Maddox said to Brad.
“Sure, son. I’ll have John start working on it, ASAP.” He still couldn’t believe that his son, was marrying Gwyneth’s daughter.
“I’m pretty sure, that Chris, will want me to sign one, too.” Maddox added.
“What the hell for? What do they have, that you would possibly want? COLDPLAY royalties? He totally sold out, when he went out on his own. He hasn’t made a decent album, in years. Her film royalties? And don’t even say Gwyneth’s ESTEE LAUDER money. Their make up is crap and that perfume she’s been peddling, all these years, smells like ****. Only old ladies, wear that.” Shiloh was loosing it.
“Have you guys, set a date Mad? What kind of wedding are you guys, going to have” Bella asked. She was trying so hard to ignore, her sister.
“Oh I don’t know. I’m sure she wants something big.”
“Of course she does.” Shiloh interrupted.
“I want something not too big. We’ll work it out. We’ll come to some kind of compromise. What ever kind of wedding we have, I want all of you involved, some way or another. ALL of you.” He looked directly at Shiloh.” I’m sure Apple is going to want Moses, to be involved too.”
“Oh, Moses. I forgot about him. I’m sure the TABS are going to dig up, that we went out together, for five minutes.” Shiloh said, shaking her head.
“So what about a date?” Bella asked again.
“I’m swamped at work right now, with the new building and everything. Apple is pretty busy at the museum. Probably not until, late spring, early summer.”
“Busy? Doing what?” Shiloh asked.
“Shi, She is one of the curator’s at MOMA.” Maddox reminded her.
“Mad, she collects and displays, junk.” Shiloh told him.
AJ laughed.
“She and FRED SANFORD do the same thing. The only difference is, he drives a red truck and Apple doesn’t” Shiloh told him.
AJ laughed again. Angelina even chuckled. “Mad, Bro. I’m sorry, but I agree with Shi, on this one. That exhibit she put together, this past summer? I didn’t get it.”
“AJ, it’s art. Everyone has their own interpretaion.” Maddox explained.
“No, Mad. It was ****.” Shiloh told him. “Wait until Zee, hears about this. I can’t wait to hear, what she has to say.”
“Sorry to disappoint you Shi, but Zee already knows.” Maddox informed her.
“What? Zee already knows?” Angelina asked. She looked at Brad.
“Yeah, Mom. When Zee was in Boston, for her HARVARD interview, I flew up to visit her, for the day. I told her, that I was going to ask Apple to marry me. I asked her not to tell, anyone.” Maddox explained.
“Damn! Zee could always keep a secret.” Shiloh added.
“And by the way Shi? She didn’t yell, and she didn’t freak like you did.” Maddox told his sister.
“Yeah, well, I bet she didn’t jump for joy, either.” Shiloh countered back.
AJ stood up and gave his brother a hug. “Mad, I was just dicking around with you earlier. Congratulations. If your happy, I’m happy. I’ll support you, any way I can.”
Maddox smiled. “Thanks AJ. That means a lot to me.”
“Me too Mad!” Bella said smiling. She also gave her brother a hug and a kiss. “She’s a lucky girl.”
“Oh, I think I’m the lucky one.” Maddox said, smiling.
“Oh, **** me.” Shiloh muttered, under her breath.
She looked at her brother. “Mad, I don’t mean to be a ***** about all of this. But I love you. Your not only my big brother, your my friend. And you happen to be someone, that is very special. I just want the best for you. And I just don’t think, Apple is. I’m sorry.”

What are you thinking about?” Angelina asked Brad.
They were both sitting in the living room, enjoying a rare, roaring fire. It was a bit unseasonaly cold, in Los Angeles. Shiloh had gone back to the dorms. The twins were upstairs doing their homework, Harper was fast asleep. And Maddox, had gone out to meet some friends.
“Just take one guess.” Brad told her. He snuggled up to Angelina. He kissed the top of her head, then her cheek and then a soft tender kiss on her, pouty lips.
“That’s what I thought.” Angelina looked at her husband. “Baby, how do you really feel about this? I mean Shiloh in her own, unique way, brought up some really good points. When the news of Maddox and Apple’s engagement comes out, it is going to be a media, firestorm. You and Gwyneth, probably will be in the middle of it.”
“Angie, I just thank god, that me and Gwyneth were able to develop a new relationship. Were able to work together and now our kids, are going to marry one another. You know Baby, Maddox shocked the hell out of me, tonight. I look back at the relationship I had with Gwyneth, I don’t even know that guy anymore. It was such a long time ago. Hell, that was even before Jennifer.” Brad said softly.
“Well, I’m sure were going to hear from Chris and Gwyneth soon. I’m sure they know by now, that their daughter is engaged to our son. I over heard Mad, talking to Apple, before he went out.” Angelina told him. She snuggled closer to Brad.
Brad looked at his wife. Her profile, mixed with the light coming from the fire, was absolutely, stunning.”How do you feel, about all of this? Because Baby, if you feel uncomfortable, in any way, I want you to tell me.”
Angelina thought for a moment, before she answered Brad’s question. She smiled.”Hmmmmm. Uncomfortable? Why William Bradley, are you referring to the fact, that you have fucked both me and Gwyneth? Not at the same time, of course.”
Brad chuckled. “God, you and Shiloh are just a like. I for sure, thought she was going to say the same thing, earlier this evening.”
Angelina kissed Brad on the lips. “Baby, your relationship with Gwyneth doesn’t bother me. It never has. You told me everything that happened between you two. That happened way before you even met me. My only concern, is Maddox. If he’s happy, than I’m happy. That’s all that matters.”
Brad looked at his wife. How did he ever get so lucky? He thought to himself. “Maddox’s happiness, is the only thing I care about too. And of course, yours. I love you, so much.”
Angelina looked at Brad. “I love you, too.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Angelina predicted, she and Brad did hear from the Martins. It was a brief conversation. Both couples had agreed, that they were both surprised by the news. Brad had Cindy release a statement, stating the fact that Maddox and Apple were enagaged to be married. And as expected, everyone wanted to know, all the details about the engagement: The ring, the proposal, where, when. Has a date been set, what kind of wedding, where would the wedding take place, who was going to be invited. Everyone wanted a piece of MADDLE. That’s what the media had dubbed Maddox and Apple. As did the media did, many,many years ago, with Brad and Angelina. And of course, everyone wanted to know, what Brad and Gwyneth thought about their children, being engaged to one another. More than once, the media had to correct themselves. It wasn’t Brad and Gwyneth’s children that were getting married: It was Maddox Jolie Pitt marrying Apple Martin.
Angelina had just come home from a meeting with Brad and Trevor Neilson, their philanthropic advisor. Trevor had been advising them, for years. He helped Brad and Angelina set up the, JOLIE PITT FOUNDATION, THE TOBIAS JOLIE PITT FOUNDATION and their latest, HARP HELPS. Brad was on his way back to PLAN B, when the phone ranged. It wasn’t her cell, but their home phone.
She grabbed the phone and looked at the caller ID. It was a London number. It was the Martins.
“Hello?”
“Angie, Hi. It’s me Gwyneth. I hope I didn’t catch you, at a bad time.” .
“No, not at all. How are you?” Angelina asked, as she walked through the house.
“Besides, avoiding all the PAPS. I’m doing fine, thank you.” Gwyneth said laughing.
“Well, we all knew that was going to happen once the word, got out. There’s a small army, camped outside our house, too. Maddox told me, they are following him, everywhere he goes now.” Angelina informed her.
“Apple mentioned the same thing. I don’t want to keep you, but I was wondering what you and Brad, had planned for Thanksgiving. Because, if you don’t have any plans, Chris and I would love for you all, to spend Thanksgiving with us.” Gwyneth told her.
“In London?” Angelina asked, as she sat down, in her office.
“No. In New York. Chris and I want to see Apple, Maddox, and Moses. We really would like all of you, to join us.”
Brad, Angelina and the kids, had thought about going to Africa, for Thanksgiving. “Thank you. That’s a very generous invitation. I really do have to talk to Brad, before I can commit, to anything.”
“Think nothing of it. We would love to have, all of you. Please talk to Brad, and I hope I hear from you, real soon.” Gwyneth said.
“Alright. I’ll get back to you, as soon as I can.” Angelina told her.
“Looking forward to it. I sure hope, you all can make it.” Gwyneth said.
We’ll just have to see. I guess, I’ll be talking to you, real soon. Goodbye Gwyneth and thanks, again.”
“Think nothing of it. Goodbye, Angie.”

“Hey honey! Your still here? I thought you were going to the KNICKS game.” Apple said, as she entered her and Maddox’s loft. She had just gotten home, from having drinks, with one of her friends. Both ladies, were followed by the paparazzi.
“I still am. This came, when I was getting ready to head out, the door.” Maddox explained. He was sitting on the couch and was pointing, to a huge crate, that was sitting on the coffee table.
“We’re getting wedding gifts already?” Apple asked. She sat next to Maddox and and gave him a kiss.
“Not exactly. It’s from Shi. A case of a very rare and expensive merlot, which happens to be, my favortie.” Maddox explained. He smiled to himself. Shiloh wouldn’t be Shiloh, if she didn’t speak her mind, he thought to himself. He read her note again, and laughed out loud.
Maddox was touched by her note. He knew he and Apple’s engagement caught evevryone off guard. And Maddox knew how Shiloh felt about his relationship, with her. He really wasn’t upset with her. Maddox expected ‘MT. SHILOH’ to errupt.
“Well, I know you haven’t told me everything, that was said, when you told your family, about our enagagement, but knowing Shiloh, like I do, she should of sent this to you, last week.” Apple said. She held up one of the bottles, of the very expensive,wine.
Maddox looked at Apple and winced a bit.
“Apple continued on. “Zahara and Bella, probably told her to send this to you.”
“My sisters, never have to tell Shiloh, to do anything. She could of sent me a case of MILLER LIGHT and it, would have brought a smile to my face.” Maddox said.
“What did she say in her note? Here, let me read it.” Apple reached for the note, but Maddox was quicker.
“Uh, honey, The note was for me, for me, only. I think I should respect Shiloh and just keep it, just between, the two of us.” Maddox explained.
Apple shrugged her shoulders. “Alright. Whatever. All this talk about Shiloh’s gift, keeps reminding me, what will be a good day for you, for us to register? I was talking to my Mom, the other day, and I think we should register at TIFFANY’S. What do you think?”
“Well, I was thinking of us, not registering at all.” Maddox said.
“Mad, it’s tradition. When a couple is getting married, they usaully register.” Apple said. She ran her fingers, through her blonde hair.
“I just don’t think it’ s right. I’ll feel funny accepting gifts from my family and friends. Besides, anything that you want or we need, I can just buy it, myself. Our friends, don’t have to do that. In fact, I was thinking, in lieu of any wedding gifts, I was hoping our family and friends would make a donation, to their favorite charity, on behalf of us.” Maddox explained.
Apple let out a heavy sigh. “Mad, people are going to expect us to, register somewhere.”
“I’m sorry honey, it’s just they way I feel. Spending money on us, especially at TIFFANY’S for wedding gifts? Like I said, anything we need, or want, we’ll just get it, ourselves.” Maddox said. He was starting to get annoyed, at the whole idea.
“Well, I think our family and friends, should have the choice. Some may want to buy us a gift, some may make want to do, the donation thing. And, some may want to do both. I think we should give them, that option.” Apple told him. She was now starting to get, fustrated.
Maddox looked at his fiancee. She had that look on her pretty face. “Alright we’ll regsiter. But I just want to make sure that all of our guest, friends and family know, they are not obligated by any means, to get us a gift. And,do I really have to be there? Isn’t this something you and Gwyneth can do?” Maddox asked. He glanced at his TAG HEUER watch, he was going to miss tipoff, if he didn’t leave soon.
“Well, yes. But, I want your input too.” Apple told him. She wanted to do this, together.
Maddox looked at Apple. He didn’t mean to be difficult, but he had no interest in this.” I’ll check my work calender, tomorrow.”
“Good.” Appple smiled. “Oh I almost forgot, before you leave, I made an appoitment with a wedding planner, for Saturday, at 2:00pm.”
“Saturday?” Maddox asked.
“Yeah, Saturday.” Apple repeated.
“Honey, you know Saturdays I play soccer with the guys in Sheep’s Meadow, rain or shine. What do we need a wedding planner for, anyway? I thought you, your Mom, maybe my Mom, were going to handle all the details.” Maddox asked. Registering? Wedding Planner? They haven’t really set a date yet, and he felt that things, were starting to get out of control.
“Mad, there are so many details. We’re not even sure, what kind of wedding, how big the wedding, how small, a wedding planner can help us with all of this. Of course I want my Mom to help, Angie too, if she wants too. But I think, we should at least, meet with her.” Apple explained.
“I just wish, you would have just checked with me first, that’s all. Look, I got to get out of here, if I’m going to make, tip off.” Maddox told her. He stood up, put on his jacket.” I’ll probably go out for drinks, after the game. ” He informed her. He gave Apple a quick kiss, and left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Hey Brat!” Brad said.
“Hey guys.” Shiloh said smiling.
“What are you doing here?” Angelina asked Shiloh. She, Brad, and Harper had just got back home, from the zoo. Shiloh was in the family room, surrounded by books, hi liters, papers, her laptop and IN AND OUT paper bags.
“My lab was canceled, so I decided to come over here, to do some studying and my laundry. The machines in the dorms, are so disgusting.”
“Shiwoe! Look what Daddy bought me at the zoo, today!” Harper said. He ran over to where Shiloh was sitting. He jumped into her lap. He thrusted the stuffed tiger, into Shiloh’s face.
“Wow! That’s some tiger. Hey MM, I’ve been having a serious case of Harper withdrawls. Give me a kiss.”
Harper started to kiss Shiloh, all over her face. They both started to laugh. Brad and Angelina looked at that the two of them together and smiled.
“Okay, okay, enough!” Shiloh said laughing.
Harper stopped kissing his sister. “Now, it’s your turn, kiss my tiger.”
Shiloh gave the stuffed animal, a quiick kiss.
AJ and Bella arrived home, from school and practice. They joined their family in the family room.
“I didn’t realize, that it was this late. How was school? Practice?” Brad said. He glanced at his BRIETLING watch.
“Hi Mom, Hi Dad. Hey Harp, Hey Shi”. Bella said
“Fine. School was okay, practice went well.” AJ told his Dad.
“AJ, Bellie, look at my new tiger. Me, Mommy, and Daddy, went to the zoo today”. Harper said, smiling.
“Well, that not’s fair. You went to the zoo and we had go to school?” Bella asked, with a smile on her face.
Harper smiled and shook his head. “Uh huh. I had a hot dog and cotton candy too.”
AJ laughed. “Looks like you had mustard on that dog. You got some on your shirt. Good job, Harp!”
“I’m glad you guys are all here. Your Dad and I want to talk to you about our Thanksgiving travel plans.” Angelina said, as she sat down.
“What about them? Oh, I talked to my Anatomy Professor, he’s letting me take the test early, so I can fly with you guys to Morocco on Sunday, instead of Monday. I got an email from Zee today. I think the earliest she can leave school is Tuesday afternoon. She may have to fly by herself.” Shiloh told her Mother.
“That’s what we want to talk to you guys about, there has been a change in plans. ” Brad told them.
He looked at Angelina. They went back and forth, the past few days, wondering if they should accept Gwyneth’s invitation. They knew the kids would be disappointed if they didn’t go to Morocco. But they knew Maddox would be disappointed too, if they would have declined the invitation. Angelina was going to call Gwyneth in the morning to tell her, that they would be joining them, for Thanksgiving.
“What? Are we going to Namibia instead of Morocco?” Bella asked.
“Not exactly. We’re not going to Africa, at all” Brad told them.
Shiloh and the twins began to talk at once. Harper looked at his older brother and sisters and then at his parents.
“We’re not going to Afika?” He asked. He didn’t quite, understand.
“A-F-R-I-C-A.” Angelina corrected him. “No baby,I’m sorry. Not this time.” Angelina apologized.
“Harp, will go another time, I promise.” Brad reassured him.
“Are we staying home, this year?” AJ asked. He loved Africa. He was a bit disappointed, they were not going.
“No, were not. The Martins have invited us to spend Thanksgiving with them.” Angelina told them. 5.4.3.2.1., she counted to herself.
Shiloh and the twins looked at their parents.
“What?! In London?” Shiloh asked.
Blast Off. Angelina, thought to herself.
“No, in New York.” Brad told her.
“New York?! We’re spending Thanksgiving with them, all of them in New York? What the hell for?” Shiloh asked. She looked at Harper. He was looking at her. She was trying not to say the word, **** in front of him.
“Because she asked us. She and Chris will be in New York during the holiday visiting Apple, Mad, and Moses. She extended the invitation to all of us,and I have accepeted it.” Angelina told her.
” Oh, god.Tell me please, this is just a one time thing. Sharing the holidays with them Mom? Mad is marrying into that family, not us. ” Shiloh said, shaking her head.
“I’m bummed about Morocco, just like you are Shi, but I think it will be fun. We’ll get to see Mad and Apple. We can watch the parade from our apartment. Go ice skating in Central Park. Maybe see a couple of shows. Shi? You, me, and Zee we can go shopping. It may even snow, while were back there.” Bella said smiling.
Shiloh looked at her sister. “And maybe you and Harp, can sit on Santa’s lap and tell him, what you want for Christmas.”
“Very funny.” Bella said.
“Aside from the fact, that we are going to have to spend time with them, what kind of Thanksgiving dinner are we going to have? Gwyneth doesn’t eat real food. She’s been on the macro diet ****, for over twenty years now.” Shiloh said to her Mom.
“Shi…….language please…..”Angelina told her. She looked at Shiloh and then at Harper.
“Oh, sorry that slipped.” Shiloh told her.
“What do you mean, she doesn’t eat real food?” AJ asked.
“AJ, Gwyneth Paltrow is famous for her weird diet. She doesn’t eat real food, like we do.” Shiloh explained.
“So, no Dad’s turkey? or Zee’s yams? Or your apple pie, Bella?” AJ asked in a panicked voice.
“Fraid so, bro.” Shiloh told him.
“Damn!” AJ said in a fustrated voice.
“AJ?” Angelina warned her son, now.
“Sorry, Mom. I mean where ever we are for Thanksgiving, we always cook. That’s part of our tradition. I mean, Dad’s cooked a turkey in a least ten different countries.”
“And what about the shelter?” Bella asked. The Jolie Pitt’s always volunteered at ST. CHRISTOPHER’S around Thanksgiving.
“I’ve already looked into that. There are two shelters in New York, that have really caught my interest. We can volunteer at either one. I’ll tell you about them, later. Guys, I’m sure, that Gwyneth, will be serving something, that you will be able to eat. I know this wasn’t the way we were going to celebrate the holiday, but we’ll still be together. Things are just, different now.” Angelina told them.
“You can say that, again.” Shiloh added.
“Come on guys, think of Mad. He would be so disappointed, if we would of said no.” Brad said to all of his children. He looked at the twins, Shiloh and Harper.
The twins looked at one anotther and then at Shiloh, they all looked at their parents.
“Oh, the things we do for love. I swear to god, what until I see Mad. He owes us, big time for this one.” Shiloh said, shaking her head.
Bella and AJ laughed.
“I get to see Mad and Santa, Mommy?” Harper asked.
“Yeah, baby. Looks that way.” Angelina said smiling.

Harper nearly talked non-stop from Los Angeles, to Denver. He was so excited about the family’s trip, to New York City. He asked so many questions. By the time, they were over Chicago, he was starting to fade a bit. When the GULFSTREAM touched down at La Guardia, he was fast asleep.
Brad carried him tenderly, as he Angelina, Shiloh and the twins, made their way through the terminal. The paparazzi was everywhere. The constant flashing from the cameras, nearly blinded them all And it seemed like everyone was asking the same question: ARE YOU IN TOWN, FOR A SECRET WEDDING? The picture of Brad holding Harper, made the front page of all the New York TABS that next morning. The NY POST had a headline that screamed: WEDDING PITT STOP?
Angelina’s assistant Amanda, had made sure their New York apartment was clean and that it was stocked with everything, the family would need, while they were in the city. Angelina had always had an apartment in New York, going back to the days, when she was briefly a student at, NYU. It became very practical, when she was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador by the UN. When she met Brad, and as their family grew larger, they both thought it was a good idea, to have a much larger place.
It was located on the Upper West Side, near the DAKOTA building. It was big enough for the whole family. The location was prime. They had a beautiful view of Central Park and like Bella told Harper, they could watch the MACY’S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE from their balcony, or any window, in their living room.
The Jolie Pitts, had been in New York, for almost two days now. Brad and Angelina had spoken to Maddox, but still had not seen him or Apple. They were to meet up with the both of them, at Wollman Rink, in Central Park. AJ and Bella were putting on their jackets, Angelina was helping Harper with his jacket and his gloves, Brad was making sure, that he had all of his camera equipment, he was also checking his messgenger bag. They were all in the living room, along with Shiloh, who was still in her pajamas and eating a bowl of cereal.
Angelina was putting a skull cap, on Harper’s head.
“Shiwoe, your not coming skating with us?” Harper asked, as he looked at his sister.
“Sorry, Harp. Grier and her family are here in New York, too. We’re going to have lunch together, and then do some shopping.” Shiloh explained. She hated ice skating, as much as she hated skiing.
Harper had a look of disappointment on his face.”But I want you to come, too.”
Shiloh looked at her little brother. “I’ll tell you what, We’ll go skating, just the two of us, before we go back home, okay?”
“Promise?” Harper asked.
Shiloh smiled. “I promise, Marrow Man.”
“Thanks, Shiwoe.” Harper said smiling.
“Okay, Baby. Your all set.” Angelina said to Harper. She gave him a kiss, then she looked at Shiloh.
“Tell, Grier we say hi, Shi.”
“Oh, I will Mom. Thank God, she called me.” Shiloh told her.
Brad looked at his daughter. “Just make sure you and Grier, behave yourselves. I don’t want the NYPD calling me later, telling me, that I need to bail you out of jail.”
Shiloh laughed.
“Come on you guys, let’s go! I want to hit the ice.” AJ said. He was a very good skater. He played Pee Wee hockey, for three years.
“Just make sure you don’t do any, cowboy stuff, AJ.” Bella said to her twin, as she put on her hat.
“Promises, Promises.” AJ said smiling.
“AJ? Will you teach me some stuff?” Harper asked, looking at his big brother.
“Sure, Harp!” AJ said smiling.
“Cool!” Harper said, with a big smile on his face.
God, I’m so glad you called me. If you hadn’t, I would of been stuck, ice skating.” Shiloh said to Grier, smiling. Both girls were sitting at a rear table inside the restaraunt, LUCKY STRIKE.
“You and me both.” Grier said. She lit up a cigarette.”My Mom has been on my ass, ever since, she and Dad got here.”
Shiloh took a sip of her Evian. “What the hell? When did you start smoking?”
“Ever since, I was put on academic probation, last quarter. Hence, the nagging from my, Mother.” Grier explained.
“No ****? You were practically a straight A student, in high school.” Shiloh reminded her.
“That was high school. PRINCETON is a whole new ballgame. It didn’t help matters, that Rowan, made the Deans List, last quarter. God, I hate PRINCETON. I wish I was at UCLA with you and Sean. When ever I bring up, the subject of transferring to somewhere else? My Mom, doesn’t even want to hear about it. She went there, Rowan is doing so well……….. ******* Ivy League.”
Shiloh looked at her friend. She never had to compete with Zee, or vice versa. Brad and Angelina never compared their children to one another.
“I wish you were at Westwood, too. Sean’s doing really good. That Rehab stint in high school, really shaped his ass up. I think his parents divorce, changed him too. He has told me more than once, that the only person he really cares about, is JJ. He and his girlfriend are pretty solid. She goes to USC. She’s okay, for a Trojan.”
“I got an email from him, a couple of weeks ago, he did sound good.” Grier took another hit form her cigarette. ” Okay Shi, fess up. What really happened when Maddox dropped the engagement bomb? He and Apple are everywhere. That PEOPLE cover story a few weeks ago was pretty interesting, how they brought up the whole Brad and Gwyneth thing.”
“Let’s just say, that we were all, very surprised.” Shiloh told her. She took a bite of her pasta.
“Have you’ve seen the ring yet?” Grier asked.
“No. I’m sure, she’ll show it to me, on Thursday.” Shiloh said.
“I can’t believe, that you guys are all, spending Thanksgiving together. I would love to be a fly, on that dining room wall.” Grier said laughing. She took a sip of her soda.
“Fly? I wish your Ivy League ass, could take my place. I hate how Gwyneth talks. Her voice bugs the **** out of me. I think she forgets sometimes, that she was born in LA and that she was raised, on this side of the pond. The only person that is British in that family, is her husband.” Shiloh told her.
Grier laughed. She missed Shiloh. Talking on the phone and sharing emails, was just not the same thing.
“And seeing Mad and Apple, all lovey dovey, with one another? I have a feeling, it’s going to be a very long evening.” Shiloh added.
“Don’t forget Moses”. Grier reminded her.
“How can I? What the ****, was I thinking, when I went out with him?” Shiloh asked.
“Oh, don’t beat yourself up. You guys, were so young.” Grier told her.”Do you have any plans after dinner, on Thursday?” Grier asked. She took a bite of her steak.
“Not that I know of. I’ll probably be starving. God knows, what’s going to be served, for dinner.” Shiloh told her.
Grier laughed again. “If you don’t have any plans, call me. We can hook up. I’m sure, I’ll be ready to escape my family.”
“Okay, I will.” Shiloh said smiling.
Brad had rented out the whole Wollman Rink, so his family could have some privacy. Ever since they had arrived into New York, the PAPS were on their trail. They were followed into Central Park, by a throng of paparazzi, but once they all reached the rink, the PAPS had to keep their distance. Maddox and Apple had joined the family. It was first time they had seen her, since the announcement.
Angelina was sitting in the bleachers with Brad’s camera, as Brad, Harper, AJ, Bella, Maddox and Apple were all, on the ice. Brad was skating backwards slowly, so he could help and guide Harper, who was having a blast. He was taking little steps, as he and Brad made their way, around the rink. AJ was skating all over the place. He was skating very fast, as he dodged and weaved, skating forward and backwards. Bella and Apple, were in the center of the rink. Maddox just passed them, also skating, at a very fast pace.
“Oh my God, Apple! That ring is absolutely gorgeous!” Bella said. She was admiring, the ring, that Maddox had given her.
“I know, isnt it?! I was so shocked, when he put it, on my finger.” Apple said smiling. She looked at Bella. She was a very pretty young lady. “You know Bella, when me and Mad get married, we’ll be sisters. I’ve always wanted one. Now, I’ll have three.”
Bella smiled. Good thing Shiloh wasn’t here, to hear THAT one, she thought to herself.” I know.” She made a little figure eight. “Do you guys know what kind of wedding, your going to have?”
“A little. I want something, that is somewhat formal, not too small. I want all of our family and friends,to share the day with us.” Apple told her.
“And, I want something, that is not too big.” Maddox said. He had skated up, behind Apple, just as she, finished her sentence. He gave her a quick kiss.
“You were eavesdropping!” Apple said laughing.
“No, I wasn’t. I just got here.” Maddox said smiling.
Bella skated toward her brother. “Mad, that ring is gorgeous!”
“Thanks, Bella. We Jolie Pitt men, have always had, good taste in jewelry.” Maddox told her, laughing.
Bella looked at her brother and Apple and smiled. They were really in love.
“Hi Mommy!” Harper yelled to Angelina. He and Brad had just skated, past her.
Angelina carefully sat down Brad’s LEICA CAMERA, and waved back, at her son. “Hi Baby!”
She went back to taking pictures of her family.
“Angie?” Gwyneth said.
Angelina was so into taking pictures, she didn’t even hear Gwyneth approach her, at first. She turned around, stood up, and smiled.
“Gwyneth, Hi. When did you get here?”
Gwyneth looked at Angelina. The woman was still very, beautiful. She was aging, very well. “Just a few minutes, ago.”
It was a little bit awkward, between the two women. It was the fist time, thay had seen one another, since their children, had become engaged.
“Do we shake hands? Hug?” Gwyneth asked, laughing.
Angelina laughed also. “Why don’t we, just do both.”
“If Jennifer shows up, will all be in trouble.” Gwyneth added. The two women, shook hands and hugged one another.
The paparazzi with their long lens, got shots of the two women, that represented Brad Pitt’s past and his present. These pictures, were going to be worth,a lot of money.
Both women, were sitting next to one another, on the bleachers.
“I’m so glad you accepted, our invitation. It means a lot to us.” Gywneth told her.
“Well, it was very generous of you.” Angelina said. She looked at Gwyneth. She couldn’t believe that she was actually, wearing real fur.
Gwyneth was looking at Brad and his kids skating, along with Apple.
“Where’s Shiloh and Zahara?” She asked.
“Well, Shiloh is having lunch with one of her best friends, Zee, is still in California. She’ll be flying out on the red eye, tonight. She’ll be here in the morning.” Angelina explained. “Where’s Chris?”
“Oh, he had a meeting with one of the VP’S of his record label.” Gwyneth told her. She couldn’t help but watch Brad. He was so patient, loving and tender with Harper.
“Brad is sure having a good time.”
Angelina laughed. “I know. He’s like the biggest kid out there.”
Gwyneth watched, as he interacted, with all of his kids.” He sure does, enjoy being a Father.”
“Yes, he does. Very much so.” Angelina told her.
Brad and Harper were coming around again. They had been on the ice, for almost an hour now. This time, they stopped.
“Baby, I think that’s enough for him.” Angelina told, Brad.
“Okay. Come on, little man.” Brad carefully, picked up Harper, as they both left the ice.
“Mommy, I want to skate some more.” Harper complained.
“Oh Harp, I think you had enough, for one day. Don’t forget, Shi is going to take you skating, before we go back home. Besides, were going to SERENDIPITY for ice cream, remember?” Angelina reminded him.
“Sipity?” Harper asked.
” S-E-R-E-N-D-I-P-I-T-Y.” Angelina said, laughing.
Brad smiled, as he sat Harper next to his Mother. He then looked at Gwyneth.
“Hey! How are you?” Brad gave her a quick, hug.
The paparazzi, got that shot too. Boy, they all hit the jackpot, today.
“I’m fine, thanks. Looks like you were having a good time, out there.” Gwyneth said laughing. The last time, she saw Brad, was about a year ago. They had worked together on a film, he was producing, she was acting in it.
Brad laughed. God,I always loved his laugh. Gwyneth, thought to herself. “Well, yeah. But AJ, he can skate all over my ass.” Brad looked at Angelina and smiled. “Baby, I’m going back out there.” He looked at Harper smiling. “Little Man, you did real good out there. Daddy’s proud of you.”
“Thanks Daddy! Harper nearly shouted.
Brad returned, to the ice.
Angelina began to unlace, Harper’s little skates. She looked at his face. His little cheeks and nose were red. She gave him a kiss.
“Baby, your nose is cold!” Angelina said laughing.
Harper laughed, too.
Once his skates were off, Angelina began to rub, his little feet. “How do your feet feel? Do they hurt? Are they tired?”
“No, Mommy. They feel fine. Did you see me skate?! I only fell once!” Harper said, with pride in his voice.
“I sure did! You did really good. I bet you can skate better than Shi, now.”
Gwyneth watched the interaction between Angelina and Harper. She could not even imagine, having a three year old child, in her life right now. She was hoping that Maddox and Apple would wait a good while, before making her a grandmother.
Harper looked at Gwyneth. “Are you Apple’s Mommy?”
Gwyneth smiled at the little boy. He was adorable. He looked just like Brad.
“Why, yes I am.” Gwyneth told him.
Harper tilted his head a little bit, while Angelina, was putting on his shoes.”Your pretty, so is Apple.”
Gwyneth laughed. “Why, thank you.”
“Can I ask you something?” Harper asked.
“Why sure.” Gwyneth said looking at Harper. He and Brad looked like twins. She remembered seeing pictures of Tobias. He had looked like Brad too. As did, Shiloh.
“Why did you name her Apple?” Harper asked with confusion in his voice. “That’s something you eat. That’s not a name.” He added.
“HARPER GEHRY JOLIE PITT! You apologize to Gwyneth. That wasn’t very nice, at all.” Angelina told him. She could not believe he asked Gwyneth that.
“Gwyneth, I’m sorry.” Angelina apologized.
Gwyneth couldn’t help but laugh. “Angie, it’s okay, really.” She looked at Harper. “We just thought it was a nice name for her.”
Harper looked at Gwyneth. He was taking it all in. “Oh.”
Gwyneth laughed, again. She looked at Harper and Angelina. Then, she looked at Brad skating with, AJ and Bella. And then her gaze wondered where she looked at Apple and Maddox. For a quick fleeting second, she wondered what her and Brad’s children, would of looked liked.

Zahara took off her coat, hat, scarf, and gloves, as she entered the warm apartment. She smiled as she saw some of Harper’s toys in a corner and seeing her siblings shoes, by the door. She may not have been in Los Angeles or Morocco for that matter, but she did feel like, that she was home. She sat her backpack, her GUCCI tote and her carry on bag, on the hardwood floor.
Shiloh padded into the living room.
“I thought I heard somebody in here”!
Zahara smiled. “Hey Soul Sister! Happy Early Thanksgiving!” She gave her sister a big hug.
“Same to you! How are you? You look fanatstic! I’m jealous as ****!” Shiloh said laughing.
“I’m doing good, and your not looking bad your self! How are you?” Zahara asked. Both girls, went to sit down, on one of the couches.
“Fine. How was your flight?” Shiloh asked. There was a throw on the couch, she wrapped it around her.
“Good. I slept most of the way. The airport is already a zoo.” Zahara told her. She looked around the apartment. “Place looks really nice.”
Shiloh agreed. “Yeah. Amanda did a real nice job, getting it ready, for us.”
“Have you’ve seen Mad since you guys, been in town?” Zahara asked, as she took off her boots.
“I haven’t. Everybody else has. They all went skating in Central Park, yesterday. Mad brought Apple. Grier is in town, I had lunch with her.” Shiloh explained.
“Oh yeah? How is she?” Zahara asked.
“She hates PRINCETON, with a passion. She wants to transfer to somewhere else, but Brooke won’t let her.” Shiloh told her.
“That’s too bad. How are your classes going? Organic Chemistry. You told me it was giving you a lot of trouble.” Zahara asked.
“I’m hanging in there. I had an Anatomy test, last week. I was actually able to finish the test. I knew a lot of the material.” Shiloh told her.
“See.” Zahara said with a smile on her face.
“That’s just one test, Zee. It’s still, very, very hard.” Shiloh reminded her.
Zahara looked at her sister. “I told you, anytime you need any help, call me. I don’t care what time, it is.”
Shiloh smiled at Zahara. “Thanks.”
“Remember? When were both Doctors, were opening up our own clinic. I’m going to treat kids, that have AIDS. You’re going to treat kids, that have Cancer.” Zahara reminded her.
Shiloh laughed. “That’s a very ambitious dream, Zee. Your part will probably come true. I’m not sure about my end.” Shiloh said in a soft voice.
“I saw what Harper’s luekemia did to you, emotionally, the transplant, his remission, how you want to help children that are afflicted with this disease. I have faith in you, Soul Sister.” Zahara said smiling.
Shiloh looked at her sister, and smiled back. She missed her, these past couple of months.” Thanks, Zee.”
“Your welcome. So, everybody is sill sleeping, huh?” Zahara got up and went into the kitchen. Shiloh followed her.
“Yeah, Bella still is. I’m haven’t heard a peep out of AJ and Harp. Mom and Dad, probably want us, to think they are still sleeping. But we know, what they are really doing.”
Zahara laughed, as she helped herself, to some juice. Shiloh sat down at the kitchen table.
“Do you want some?” Zahara asked
Shiloh shook her head, no. “Come on Zee, we can always tell when they are doing it, or not. Dad, has a big **** eating grin, all over his face, and Mom’s face, is always flushed. Dead giveaways.”
Zahara laughed.” Your so funny.”
“I’ll bet you 20 bucks, that they are having sex, right now.” Shiloh told her.
Zahara looked at her sister. “20 bucks? Okay. Your on.”
Shiloh smiled, both girls went back into the living room.
“Can you believe that we are spending Thanksgiving with Gwyneth and company?” Shiloh asked.
“I was very surprised, when Mom called me, and told me about it. Mad also called me, and told me, about the case of wine, you sent him.” Zahara said in a soft voice.
“And everybody says, I have a big mouth.” Shiloh said smiling.
“ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” Harper said, running into the living room. He jumped on the couch, into Zahara’s lap. “Your here”! He had heard her voice, when he got up, to use the bathroom.
Zahara laughed, as she hugged her little brother. She smothered his face, with kisses. “Hey sweetie! How are you?! I have missed you, so much! Look at you! You’re getting so big! Your almost tall as AJ!”
“I’ve missed you, too!” Harper told her.
“Hey MM! What are you doing up? I thought you were asleep.” Shiloh asked him.
“I was, but I had to go potty, and I heard Zee’s voice.” Harper explained. He looked at Zahara. “Are you a Doctor yet?”
Zahara and Shiloh, both laughed.
“No, cutie pie. Not yet. I have a long way to go.” Zahara told him.
Shiloh got up, and left the living room.
“I brought something for you. It’s in my bag over there, why don’t you see, if you can find it.” Zahara told him.
“Really?!” Harper asked, with excitement in his voice.
Zahara shook her head, yes.
Harper got down off of Zahara’s lap. He ran over where her bags were, and he started looking. A few minutes later, he found his present. It was an art set.
“Wow! Thanks Zee! This is cool!” Harper said, with a big smile on his face. He ran over to Zahara and gave her a hug.
“Your welcome. I’m gald you like it.” Zahara said smiling. She had missed her baby brother.
Shiloh returned to the living room, with a small bottle of water and Harper’s medication.
“Shiwoe? Look what Zee gave me!” Harper said, as he held up, the box.
“That’s cool Harp! It’s time for your medicine.” Shiloh told him.
She gave him the assortment of pills and the bottle of water. Harper obdiently took his medicne. “All done! He said, a few minutes later.
“Good job.” Shiloh said smiling. She looked over at Zahara. “Speaking of almost being a Doctor, How are your interviews coming along?”
“Pretty good. The first one, I was so nervous. But after that, they became a lot easier.” Zahara explained.
“So, which one is the front runner?” Shiloh asked.
Zahara crossed her fingers. “HARVARD. I hope they accept me, because, I really want to go there.”
Shiloh smiled. “You’ll get in, don’t worry.”
At that moment, Brad entered the living room. He had a huge grin on his face.
“Daddy, Daddy, look? Zee’s here!” Harper said,with excitement in his voice.
” Hey Princess! You made it! Brad said. He walked over and gave Zahara a big hug and a kiss.
Shiloh looked at her father and then at her sister. “Zee? You can pay me later.” Shiloh said smiling. She left the room. She went into the kitchen, to log Harper’s medication information, into the computer.
Brad looked at Zahara, with a puzzled look on his face. “What was that all about?”
Zahara couldn’t help but laugh. Shiloh was right. Brad did have that ‘grin’ on his face, when he came into the living room. He was happy to see her, but he was also happy, when he left his and Angelina’s bedroom. “Oh nothing, Daddy. Shi was just being, Shi. I’m so glad to see you.” She hugged her father again.
Brad smiled. “I’m glad to see you too, Princess.”
“Me too! Daddy, look what Zee brought me.” Harper held up the box, so Brad could see it.
“Wow! That was very nice of her . Did you tell her, thank you?” Brad asked.
Harper nodded his head, yes.
Brad laughed. He gave Harper a quick kiss. He then looked at Zahara. “How was your flight?”
“Good. Slept most of the way. Shi tells me, you guys have been busy since you got into town.” Zahara told him.
“Just a little. We all went ice skating yesterday, at Wollman Rink. Mad and Apple joined us.” Brad told her.
“And Zee? I skated and I only fell one time, then we went to Sipity for ice cream. Me and AJ had a big nana slpit.” Harper told his sister, in almost one breath.
Zahara laughed “Sipity?”
“Serendipity.” Brad said smiling.
Angelina, AJ, and Bella came into the living room.
“Zee!” Angelina said with a huge smile on her flushed face.
“Zee, your here!” Bella shrieked.
Zahara gave her Mother a big hug. “Hi Mom! It’s so good to see you! I missed you so much. All of you!”
“It’s so good to see you!” Angelina looked at her. All her ‘babies’ were in the same city. She missed Zee, so much.
Bella hugged her sister. “I know! I’ve missed you too!”
“Hey Big sis!” AJ said, as he hugged Zahara.
Zahara looked at her brother. He was blooming into a very handsome young man. “You know AJ? Everytime I log on to the LA TIMES website, and I read the high school sports section? Your name is always popping up.”
AJ laughed. ” Well Zee, what can I say?”
“Nothing.” Shiloh said.
Everybody started to laugh, and everybody started to talk at once. Shiloh walked over where Zahara was standing. She stood next to her. “Did you see Mom’s face?” She asked in a low voice.
“I saw it.” Zahara answered. “I’ll pay you, later.” Zahara said, shaking her head.
Shiloh laughed.
“Okay you guys. You are all on your own today, but remember, you need to be at ST. GREGORY’S no later than 4:00PM.” Angelina reminded them.
“We will Mom.” Bella told her. She was planning to go horseback riding, in Central Park.
“If anybody needs to get in touch with me? I’ll be at the Garden. Yes, MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. Our wonderful father here, has arranged for me, to watch the KNICKS practice. Yes!” AJ did a pump fist.
“I bet you sprayed your shorts, when Dad told you that, huh?” Shiloh asked, laughing.
AJ gave his sister, the finger.
Both Bella and Zahara laughed.
Brad smiled. AJ was pretty excited, when he told him. He was going to meet Maddox at the construction site, of his building, and then head on over down, to the shelter, to help with lunch.
“Well, I’m going to unpack, take a nice hot long shower and then a nap. Oh, Mom? Are Mad and Apple going to help out, at the shelter too?” Zahara asked.
“There suppose to. I talked to him last night. He said, that they will both be there.” Angelina told her.
“I can’t wait to see Apple in a hair net.” Shiloh said.
AJ laughed.
“Baby your going to help with lunch, so you can be here with Harper, while were all helping with dinner?” Angelina asked.
“Yeah. I told Phil, I can help with lunch and with anything else, that needs to be done.” Brad told her.
“I want to go.” Harper said.
Angelina picked up her son. She gave Harper a kiss. “Harp, your just a little bit too young, baby. The shelter’s is a real big place. We’ll all be busy working and helping. Maybe, next time. You and Daddy get to hang out together.”
“That’s right little man. Just you and me.” Brad told him.
“But I want to go with Zee, Shiwoe, AJ, and Bellie. I want to help too.” Harper said. His big blue eyes, began to well up, with tears.
Brad and Angelina looked at one another.
“Oh, baby don’t cry. I’ll tell you what.” Angelina told him.
“What?” Harper asked, as he wiped his eyes.
“Well, Mr Johnson, he runs the shelter and he’s a very nice man. I’ll tell him, that you want to help too, and I’m sure he’ll find a special job, just for you. Okay?” Angelina told him.
“Okay.” Harper said in a small voice.
The ST. GREGORY HOMELESS SHELTER, was located in lower Manhattan. It was one of the biggest shelters, in the city. They started serving Thanksgiving dinner at 5:00pm, that Wednesday. Dinner would be served all day, Thursday and also Friday.
Zahara, Shiloh, and Bella were serving food, along with other workers and volunteers. Brad, Angelina, and Maddox were in the kitchen, helping with prepping and preparing, Thursday’s meals. AJ was helping with clean up. He was bussing tables, as the diners, finished their meals. Harper was helping, too. Mr. Johnson, made a special paper hat and a little apron for him. He teased Brad and Angelina, that their kids started young, when it came to helping others. AJ would guide Harper as he walked in front of him, carrying a small trash bag. He was becoming very popular, at ST. GREGORY’S.
“Oh, your welcome. Happy Thanksgiving!” Shiloh said smiling, as she served some mash potatoes, to some of the diners. She looked at Zahara. “Well, did she show up yet?”
“I don’t think so.” Zahara told her. She was serving vegetebles.
“Maybe something came up, at work.” Bella said. She was serving yams and stuffing.
“Bella, she works at a museum. What could of possibly come up, the evening before Thanksgiving, that would of kept her, from coming here?” Shiloh asked.
Bella shrugged her shoulders. She didn’t have an answer, for that one.
Maddox came out of the kitchen to join his sisters. He wiped his hands on his apron.”Has she showed up?”
“I’m afraid not, Mad. She hasn’t called you?” Zahara asked.
“No.” He answered.
“You know what? She’s probably on her way over here, right now. She probably had a hard time, catching a cab.” Bella said, and then added.” I know dinner is almost over, but she can still help, with clean up and prep work.”
Maddox looked at his sisters. He knew what they were thinking: Apple was not late, she wasn’t coming at all.
“Let me know if she shows up, okay guys?”
Shiloh looked at her brother. She could see the disappointment, that clouded his handsome face.
“Okay, Mad. We will.” She said in a soft voice.
He went back into the kitchen.
“******* *****!” Shiloh said in a low, angry voice.
“Poor Mad.” Bella said.
“She may still show up.” Zahara told her sisters.
“Zee, You and I know, very well, that’s she’s not coming. Maddox just realized that, too. You know, she not only blew off Mad, but she blew off Mom and Dad, and the people here, that depended on her.” Shiloh said, as she took off her plastic gloves. She continued on, only in a voice her sisters could hear. “Christ! Our three year old brother was in tears, because he thought he COULDN’T come. And Apple doesn’t even bother to show up? Doesn’t even call? I’m sorry, but I can’t stand that pretentious c**t.”
Bella and Zahara looked at their sister.
“I’m going to help AJ, Harper, and the others, clean up.” Shiloh told them.

Maddox opened the refrigerator and helped himself, to a bottle of MILLER LIGHT. He twisted the cap and tossed it into the sink. He then took a healthy swig, from the bottle. He walked over to the couch and sat down. He was exhausted. He had worked hard at ST. GREGORY’S. They all had. All the workers and the volunteers, his family. He couldn’t believe that Apple never showed up, never even bothered to call. He looked around the spacious loft. He noticed that there were two, PRADA shopping bags, in one of the dining room chairs, in the dining araea.
Apple came out into the living room area. She was was wearing a robe. She was towel drying her hair. She was startled when she saw Maddox.
“Honey, your home. I didn’t here you come in. I must have been still in the shower. How long have you been here?” Apple asked. She walked over, bent down, and gave Maddox a quick kiss.
“Not long.” Maddox told her. He took another sip of his beer. He looked at Apple.”What happened? You never showed up at the shelter. Everyone was wondering where you were.”
Apple stopped drying her hair. She sat down next to Maddox. “Honey, work was absolutely crazy today, of all days. I’ve must have been on the phone all day, with both our London and Paris liasons. Because of that, I had to do a couple of errands, after work . I thought that I would have enough time to do them, and then go on down, to the shelter. PRADA was a madhouse. They sent me an email earlier in the day, and told me, that the shoes, I had ordered, were in. I wanted to wear them tomorrow. I guess, I just lost track of the time. By the time I realized, what time it was, I had missed dinner. I felt just awlful and embarrassed. I couldn’t face you or your family, so I decided, just to come on home.” Apple explained, the best way, she could.
Maddox just looked at her. He was trying very hard, not to lose his temper.
“You didn’t think to call? I was worried about you.” He paused, and continued on. “Shoes Apple? One of your errands, was picking up, ******* shoes?! From PRADA?! You know , I overhead a man, telling one of the shelter workers, that his shoes were stolen, the other day. They were the only pair, he had.”
“Mad, I’m sorry. I lost track of the time. If I would of called you, all you would of done, was yelled at me. It’s exactly what you are doing right now. ” Apple told him.
“Everyone kept on asking me, about you. You know how hard it was for me, to tell my parents, Mr. Johnson, that you never showed up?” Maddox ran his fingers through his thick black hair. A gesture, just like his father did, when he was angry.
“Mad, I fucked up. I will apologize to Brad and Angie. As for Mr. Johnson, I’ll apologize to him, too. Hell, I’ll even send a check. I’m sure the shelter needs money, more than it needed me, to peel potatoes tonight.” Apple told him.
Maddox stood up, and looked at Apple. “That’s not the point, Apple. We all depended on you. Anyone can write a check.” He walked into the kitchen, where he tossed his beer bottle, into the recycle bin.
“Not everyone, can.” Apple said, in a low voice, as she got up. She made sure, that Maddox did not here her. She followed him, into the kitchen. She stood behind him and wrapped her arms, around his waist. Apple could feel the tension, in his body.
“Please don’t be mad at me. I really am, sorry. There are so many things going on right now. Thanksgiving, your family, my family. The PAPS, the TABS. Trying to plan a wedding. Setting the date.” She paused for a moment. “Remember? We set the date last night, we’re going to tell everyone, at dinner tomorrow.”
Maddox turned around and looked at his fiancee. There were times, that she could be so difficult, to deal with. These were one of those times. He was angry with her. But he also, loved her. Very much.
“I remember.” He said in a soft voice.
Thanksgiving morning was cold and crisp, in New York. The sun was shining brightly and there was not, a cloud in the sky. Perfect weather, for watching a parade. Brad and Bella were in the kitchen. Everyone else, was still asleep, or had not made an appearance that morning. Brad was fixing breakfast. A Pitt family, Thanksgiving tradition. Bella was baking. She was baking cinnamon rolls for the family to eat later, while they watched the parade.
“Happy Thanksgiving, Button.” Brad told her. He gave her a hug and a kiss.
Bella smiled and looked up at her father. “Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Daddy.”
Brad smiled. It smells good in here.”
“Thanks, Daddy. I hope they taste, as good as they smell.” She looked at what Brad was fixing, Eggs Benedict. “What your your cooking, looks good too.”
Brad laughed.
Zahara and AJ came into the kitchen. They were dressed, to go running.
“Happy Thanksgiving!” They both said at the same time.
Brad and Bella smiled.
Brad hugged and kissed, his daughter and his son. Zahara then hugged her sister.
“Oh, my God! What smells so good?!”
“Cinnamon Rolls.” Bella said smiling. She turned on the light, and looked in the oven.
“From scratch?” Zahara asked.
Bella turned around, and nodded her head, yes.
“I LOVE YOU!” AJ hugged his twin.
Everyone, laughed.
“I’m still tryiing to deal with the fact, that you won’t be cooking a turkey today, Dad.” AJ said. He helped himself to a couple bottles of water, out of the refrigerator. He walked over and handed a bottle, to Zahara.
“I know. It’s just not the same.” Bella agreed.
Shiloh came into the kitchen,along with Angelina and Harper.
“Happy Thanksgiving!” Angelina said, smiling.
“Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.” Shiloh followed.
“Happy Tanksgibbing!” Harper nearly shouted.
Everyone stared to laugh.
“T-H-A-N-K-S-G-I-V-I-N-G, Baby. Angelina said laughing, as she corrected, her three year old son.
“Thanksgiving.” Harper said again, slowly.”
“Very good, little man.” Brad said smiling.
“Thanks, Daddy.” Harper said, smiling.
Angelina gave each one of her children a hug and a kiss. When she came to Brad, she looked at him. “Tobias.” She said in a voice, only Brad could hear.
Brad took her in his arms, and whispered in her ear. “I know, Baby. Holidays, are still hard, even after, all these years.”
Angelina looked at her husband. “I just miss him, so much. With Mad, getting married and everthing……..”
“I know. I’ve been, thinking about that, too.” Brad said, in a soft voice.
Zahara, Shiloh, Bella, AJ even Harper, stopped what they were doing, and looked at their parents. Harper didn’t quite understand, but his older brother and sisters did. They knew who their parents were thinking about. It was the first thing Shiloh, thought about, when she woke up, this morning.
“Hey? What smells so good in here?” Shiloh asked, breaking the silence.
“Cinnamon Rolls, Shi. For the parade later.” Bella answered.
“The parade?” Shiloh asked.
“Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.” Bella reminded her.
” Oh, yeah. Hey? What’s the chocolate for?” Shiloh asked, looking around the ktchen. There were blocks of chocolate, on the counter.
“Oh, that’s for the Hot Chocolate.” Bella said, smiling.
“Your making REAL hot chocolate? Not that instant, ****?” Shiloh asked. She was getting the juice, out of the refrigerator.
“Shi?…… Language, please” Angelina reminded her,as she looked at Harper.
“Sorry.” Shiloh aplogized.
“Yes, I thought we could drink it, while were watching the parade, out on the balcony. After, I finished my ride yesrterday, I stopped by ZABAR’S and picked up a few things.” Bella explained.
“We get to watch the parade outside?” Harper asked.
“Yeah, Harp! The parade will be right below us. You can see all the balloons, the bands, the funny people. And guess what?” Bella said.
“What?” Harper asked. He was getting all excited.
“I think we may see Santa Claus, too! Bella said smiling.
Harper put his little hands together. His eyes were big, as he looked at Angelina, Brad, and then back at Bella.
“Santa Claus? Really, Bellie?” He asked.
“Yep! I believe so.” Bella said, smiling.
“YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Harper yelled.
Brad and Angelina, smiled. As did, Zahara and AJ.
“Uh, Bella, not to rain on your parade, no pun intended. You do realize, that it is twenty degrees outside, right now.” Shiloh, informed her.
“Yeah, so. It will warm up a little.” Bella, told her.
“And that we have at least a half a dozen television sets, in this apartment, where you can watch the parade, and not freeze your ass off?” Shiloh told her sister.
“Yeah, but where’s the fun in that, Shi?” Bella asked.
“I want to see Santa, outside Shiwoe. My ass won’t get cold.” Harper said to his sister.
Everyone, started to laugh.
“Oops!” Shiloh said.
Angelina shook her head. She looked at Shiloh, and then back at Harper. “Harp? Santa doesn’t like for little boys, to say that word. You can watch some of the parade outside, not all of it. It is cold out there.”
“What word, Mommy?” Harper asked.
“You, know what word, young man.” Angelina told him.
“But, I want to see Santa.” Harper said. He look like he was going to start, crying.
“Oh, you will Harp. That part of the parade, when Santa, shows up, you can be outside.” Angelina told him.
“That’s right, little man. We’ll make sure, you see Santa, outside. As long as you don’t say that naughty word.” Brad reassured him. He looked at Shiloh. Then back at, Harper. “Okay?”
“Okay, Daddy.” Harper told him.
“Has anybody talked to Mad, since we all left the shelter?” Zahara asked.
Angelina was getting plates, out of one of the cabinets. “He called, me this morning, to wish me, your dad, and all of you, a happy thanksgiving.”
“He did? What did he say? What happened to Apple? How come she was, a no show?” Shiloh asked, her mother. She was pouring some orange juice into some, glasses.
“He said, that she was really busy at work. After she left the museum, she did a couple of errands. They took longer than she expected. He said that she lost track of the time. When she realized, that she missed dinner, she was too emabarrassed to show up.”
Zahara and Shiloh looked at one another, then at their mother.
“What the fu-” Shiloh said. She stopped herself. She remembered that Harper, was still in the kitchen.
“Hey Harp. Can you do me a favor, please? I left my watch in my room, on one of the nightstands. It’s the black one, with all the different buttons, the one I wear, when I go running. Can you go get it for me, please?” Zahara asked.
“Okay, Zee.” Harper said. He slid off, of his chair and left the kitchen.
“I owe you one, Zee.” Shiloh said, to her sister. She then looked at her parents, and her brother and sisters.”What the ****?! What kind of weak ass, excuse is that?! She lost track of time?! She doesn’t wear a watch?”
“Shi, that’s what Mad, told me.” Angelina told her.
“Errands Mom? I wonder what kind of errands, she had to do, that just couldn’t wait.” Zahara asked.
“I don’t know, Zee. Mad didn’t say.” Angelina, told her.
“What else did Mad say?” Shiloh asked.
“That was pretty much it. Then, I spoke to Apple. She apologized to me and your father. She started to cry.” Angelina told them.
“Well, boo *******, hoo. She started to cry.” Shiloh said. She couldn’t believe, that Maddox, was actually going to marry, this woman.
“And, she asked me, who could she make a check out, to. She wants to send a donation to the shelter.” Angelina said, as she began, to set the table.
“Oh, so that makes up for her, blowing us all off? The shelter? Her sitting down on her pretentious little ass, and scrtaching out a check, that takes, what, a whole five minutes to write? Give me a break.” Shiloh said, shaking her head.
Angelina looked at Brad. They had thought, the very same thing. Not in those eaxct words, but the same thing.
Shiloh continued on. “Oh, I bet she fucked Mad’s brains out last night . That was her way of making it up, to him.”
AJ laughed. Bella and Zahara just looked at one another.
“Shi? Come on. I don’t need that image in my head right now. We’ll all be eating here, shortly.” Brad told her.
“Dad, AJ? Please don’t take this, the wrong way, but your gender, can be so ******* clueless, at times.” Shiloh said, as she sat down.
“I have to agree with you, on that one Shi. Sorry, Baby. Sorry, AJ. She’s got a point there.” Angelina said, smiling to Brad and her son.
“Mad is totally thinking with his ****, right now.” Shiloh added.
Zahara, AJ and Bella, all laughed.
Harper came running back into the kitchen. He had Zahara’s watch, in one of his little hands.
“Here, Zee.”
“Thanks, Harp.” She took the watch from him, and gave him a kiss.
“Your welcome.” Harper said, smiling.
Zahara looked at her other brother. “Come on AJ. We better get going. I don’t know how crowded, the park will be.”
“Be careful.” Brad told them.
“We will, Dad.” AJ said. “Oh, Mom? What time is dinner?” He asked.
“Yeah. When are we supposed to go, over the river and through the woods, to Gwinnie’s house we go?” Shiloh asked.
“Dinner is at 5:00.” Angelina informed them.
“Five o’clock? That late?” AJ answered. “That’s right right in the middle of the game!”
“AJ, that’s not too bad. Look at it this way. If we were home, we would probably be eating at that time. And if we were in Africa?” Brad said.
“We would have already eaten.” Shiloh said.
“Yeah! AJ agreed.
Everybody else, started to laugh. Even Harper. He was laughing, because everyone, else was.
“Okay, Brat. You got me on that one.” Brad chuckled.
“Guys, please just remember? We’re-” Angelina was cut off, before she could finish.
“DOING IT FOR MAD!” Zahara, Shiloh, AJ, and Bella, all said in unison.

The Martins Apartment, was located on the Upper East Side. It had a spectacular view of the New York skyline and the, Queensboro Bridge. It was large, spacious, modern and elegant. But it was also sterile and cold. It was the opposite of the Jolie Pitts Upper West Side Apartment. Although they had been in town only a few days, their apartment was, warm and cozy. With Harper’s toys scattered about, AJ and Zahara’s running shoes, lying next to one another at the front door, Bella’s riding boots, in the hallway, and fresh flowers in every room, it wasn’t just an apartment, it was a home, away from home.
Brad was holding Harper as he and Angelina, were pointing out the different buildings to him, from the Martins living room window.
Maddox, Apple, and Bella were talking to one another.
Moses Martin and his girlfriend, Callie Reynolds, were standing by the, baby brand paino. Callie was the new ‘it’ girl, in the world of modeling. Everyone was saying in the modeling world, she was the new KATE MOSS. Like Kate, Callie was waif like, and very thin.
AJ, Shilloh, and Zahara were talking with one another.
Chris and Gwyneth, were playing hosts.
Uniformed waiters, were constantly enetering the living room, with trays of alcohol, sparkling cider, and gourmet appetizers. Gwyneth had one of the best catering companies in New York, working this evening.
“You know, I counted at least ten different things in this room, that Harper can easliy break, before we eat dinner.” Shiloh said as she took a sip of her cider.
AJ laughed.
“Ten? I counted fifteen.” Zahara told her brother and sister.
Shiloh laughed. ” Well, you were always better than I was in Math, Zee.”
A waiter approached them, with a tray of appetizers. AJ helped himself. Shiloh waited until he walked away, before she spoke, again.
“Can you believe this? There are more waiters in this room, than there are guests. I wonder if one of them, will wipe my ass, when I go to the bathroom.”
Both AJ and Zahara laughed.
“Shi, you’re killing me! I almost choked on my shrimp!” AJ told his, sister.
“I’m serious. Look around. I bet Willie and Kate don’t have this many servants, and they are the ******* King and Queen of England.” Shiloh said, laughing.
“Well, it does look like that Gwyneth, went all out, here.” Zahara said, she took a sip of her cider.
“Whatever.” Shiloh said.
Bella and Apple walked over toward where Zahara, Shiloh, and AJ were standing.
“Apple, you have to show, Zee and Shi, your ring.” Bella told her.
“Uh, this is where I exit.” AJ said smiling. He walked away.
A waiter approached Brad, Angelina, and Harper.
“Excuse me?” Angelina asked him.
Yes? How may I help you?” He asked.
“Would you by any chance, have any milk in the kitchen, for this little guy, here?” Angelina asked, as she pointed to Harper.
“Let me go check.” The waiter said smiling. He left the living room.
A few minutes later, he reappeard. He had a tall glass of milk on, his silver tray.
“Here you go.” He handed the glass of milk, to Angelina.
“Thank You.” She said, smiling.
The waiter, walked away.
“I guess this catering company, dosen’t believe in using anything plastic.” Angelina said, laughing.
Brad sat Harper, down on his feet.
“Don’t worry, baby. I have everything under control. I’ll be right back.” Brad told her. He left the living room.
“Mommy? Where’s Daddy going?” Harper asked.
“I’m not sure, baby.” Angelina told him.
A few minutes passed, Brad came back into the room with a plastic cup. It was the cup, that was in his messenger bag, along with crayons, a coloring book, snacks, cars, and wet wipes. He took the glass of milk from Angelina, and poured some of the milk, in the plastic cup, and handed it, to Harper.
“Here you go, little man.” Brad said smiling.
“Thanks, Daddy.” Harper told him. He began to drink, his milk.
Angelina smiled and shaked her head. “Always prepared, aren’t you, Mr Pitt?”
“Always.” Brad said smiling. He gave Angelina small, soft kiss on her lips. Gwyneth was on the other side of the room, watching them.
“It’s a beautiful ring, Apple.” Zahara told her. She was admiring, the enegagement ring, Maddox had given her.
Shiloh looked at the ring. She had to admit, that it was stunning. “Mad has always, had good taste in jewelry, just like our Father.” She told Apple.
AJ and Maddox had joined their parents and Harper. He was looking at his sisters and his fiancee.
“Now, what in the world, could they be possibly talking about?” Maddox asked, as he shook his head.
“Well, Bro, they are probably talking about you.” AJ said laughing.
“That’s what I’m afraid of.” Maddox told his brother.
Brad and Angelina laughed.
“I think I’m going to break it up.” Maddox said.
“Mad? It’s already broken up.” AJ told him.
Shiloh had walked over toward the fireplace. She was looking at some of the photos, that were on the mantle. It was odd, seeing a picture of Maddox, in Gwyneth Paltrow’s home.
Moses walked over where, Shiloh was standing.
“Hey Shi. Long time, no see.” He said smiling. Moses Martin, looked exactly like his father. Same eyes and same physique.
“Moses.” Shiloh said. She took another sip, of her cider.
“Your looking good. I hear your a pre-med major at UCLA?” He told her.
“Well, you hear right?” Shiloh told him. “How’s NYU?”
Moses shrugged his shoulders. “It’s okay. I’m just going there, because my Mum and Dad, insisted, I get an education. That’s all. My main focus, is my music.”
“I see.” Shiloh said.
Moses moved a little closer, to Shiloh.”Hey Shi? Why don’t we make this wedding, really interesting. Make it a double ceremony?”
Shiloh laughed. and shook her head. She could not believe, that she actually went out with this, guy.
“I don’t know, Mo. I don’t think your girlfriend over there, would really aprreciate that.” Shiloh, said as she pointed to, Callie.
“Moses smiled. “Well we can always ask her to join us. Me you, and her.”
Shiloh looked at Moses. What a prick, she thought to herself.
“Tell me Moses, Did she make herself puke, before you guys got here, or right after?” Shiloh walked away, before Moses, could answer her question.
A waiter informed Gwyneth, that dinner was ready.
“Everyone one, if you all can make your way to the dining room, Dinner is about to be, served.” She told her family and The Jolie Pitts.
To AJ’S relief, Gwyneth was serving a traditional, Thanksgiving dinner. The caterers had done a magnificent job. There were scatters of conversations, circling around, the dining room table.
“Apple, we missed you yesterday, at the shelter.” Shiloh told her.
Maddox gave his sister, the ‘DROP IT’ look.
Apple looked at Maddox, Brad, and Angelina. Then she looked back, at Shiloh.
“Yeah, I explained to Angie and Brad, what had happened. I’m sorry, it didn’t work out.” Apple told her.
“That is too bad. But you know Mom and Dad are going back down to the shelter tomorrow, to hand out toys to a lot of the children, that unfortunately, live there. Maybe you can help out with lunch or something. The shelter could always use, an extra dishwasher.” Shiloh suggested to her.
Zahara was also giving Shiloh, the ‘DROP IT’ look.
“Apple, your more than welcome to join us,if you can.” Angelina told her.
“Thanks, Angie. I may take you up on that.” Apple said. She then looked back, at Shiloh.
Chris cleared his throat. “Tell me Brad, what is your next project?” He asked in his thick, English accent.
Brad stopped eating and wiped his mouth, with one of the linen napkins. “I’m directing a movie, about the night Abraham Lincoln was assasinated.”
“Oh, that sounds interesting.” Gwyneth told him.
“Yeah. It’s going to focus on, Dr. Samuel Mudd.” Brad told her.
“Samuel Mudd?” Chris asked.
“He was the doctor, that treated John Wilkes Booth, the night he shot Lincoln.” Brad explained.
“I see. It sounds very, ambitious.” Chris told him.
“We’ll see.” Brad said smiling.
Shiloh looked at Gwyneth. “Speaking of movies, I came across one of your’s last night, on TV. I fell asleep however, before it was over.”
“Oh, really?” Gwyneth asked.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” Shiloh aplogized, laughing.” That came out wrong. I fell asleep, due to the late hour. Not because it was one of your movies, Gwyneth.”
Gwyneth laughed. “Apology is not necessary. I knew what you meant. What movie was it?”
Shiloh took a bite of her stuffing. “That’s just the thing. I can’t remember.”It’s on the tip of my tongue, though.”
Zahara looked at her sister. Shiloh always had a good memory. What is she up to?
“Hmm…. Was it SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE?” Gwyneth asked.
“No. It wasn’t that one.” Shiloh told her.
“PROOF?” Gwyneth asked.
“No, it wasn’t PROOF.” Shiloh said.
“Let’s see, I’ve done so many different movies, GREAT EXPECTATIONS? A PERFECT MURDER? SLIDING DOORS?” Gwyneth asked Shiloh, once again.
Shiloh shook her head no, to all the movies, Gwyneth had mentioned. Everyone else, was now, getting a bit curious.
Gwyneth then looked at Brad and then at Angelina, and then back at Shiloh.
“Tell me it wasn’t SE7EN was it? How ironic, would that be?” She asked, laughing.
Shiloh looked at Brad and gave him a quick wink. She then looked at Gwyneth. “Oh, no. I would of remembered it, if it was SE7EN.”
“SHALLOW HAL?” Gwyneth asked. She was trying to do a mental filomgraphy, of all her movies.
“No. I would of remembered you in that fat suit. You what, played out of character in that movie, right?” Stretched yourself, as an actress?” Shiloh asked her.
AJ laughed. Zahara and Bella just looked at one another, and shook their heads.
“And that obnoxious co-star of yours? He’s been screaming in his movies, the last twenty years. And he looks like he hasn’t bathed in twenty years, either.” Shiloh added.
“Hey! I like Jack Black. All the guys, on the team do.” AJ told his sister.
“Figures.” Shiloh said to her brother. She turned an looked at Gwyneth. “You talked in an accent.” Not that fake one you use, when your trying to impress people. Shiloh thought to herself.
“An accent huh? Wow. I’ve done quite a few movies, where I had an accent.” Gwyneth explained
“I think it was a period piece.” Shiloh told her.
Gwyneth smiled. “Was it EMMA?”
“Yes! That’s what it was. It was EMMA.” Shiloh said laughing.
“Well, Thank God, we solved that riddle!” Chris said laughing.
“I like that movie, Gwyneth. I love Jane Austen.”Bella said smiling.
“Mom? EMMA was pretty much the movie, that put you on the map, so to speak, right?” Apple asked. She was very proud of her Mother’s film carrer.
“Well, it did open a lot of doors for me. I don’t know if it put me on the map, so to speak. EMMA was beautiful experience. I loved filiming that movie.” Gwyneth, told her.
“Oh, Luv. Don’t be so modest. You were fantastic in that movie.” Chris told her.
Shiloh looked at her Mother and smiled. “And GIA did the same thing for you, right Mom?”
Zahara looked at her sister Okay, Shi. You need to change the subject, NOW. She thought to herself.
Angelina blushed. She looked at everyone. Brad rubbed her thigh, under the table
“Angie! Oh my God! My performance in EMMA is no way the performance you gave in GIA. I mean, you blew me away. Didn’t you get a SAG for that?” Gwyneth asked.
“Yes she did. She also won a GOLDEN GLOBE. ” Shiloh said, before Angelina could answer her.
Harper looked at Gwyneth. “You play dress up like my Mommy and Daddy too?”
Everyone around the table, laughed.
“Harp, Gywneth is an actress, just like Mommy is. And Daddy, is an actor.” Angelina told him.
“And a producer.” Zahara said.
“Don’t forget he’s a director now, too.” Maddox said laughing.
“Oh.” Harper said. He went back to eating, his mashed potatoes.
Gwyneth smiled and looked at Zahara.
“Apple tells me. you’re applying to different Medical Schools, around the country?”
Zahara smiled. “Yes, I am.”
“Brad, Angie? You must be very proud of her.” Gwyneth told them.
“We’re proud of all our children.” Angelina said. She smiled at Brad.
“Is there one in particluar, that you’re interested in?” Chris asked.
“HARVARD.” Zahara said, smiling.
“Wow! HARVARD. That’s great.” Gwyneth said smiling. She took a sip of her wine.
“I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I won’t hear anything until spring.” Zahara explained.
“HARVARD? The one in Boston?” Callie asked.
AJ couldn’t help let out, a low laugh.
Shiloh, rolled her eyes.
“Well, it’s actually in Cambridge. Very close to Boston.” Zahara told her.
“Wow! You must be really smart.” Callie said with a touch of awe, in her voice.
“She is! She knows everything about my kemia. But I don’t have kemia, no more. Because, Shiwoe gave me some marrow and it went away.” Harper told her.
Callie looked at the precocious little boy.
“Kemia? What’s Kemia?” She asked. Her face was clouded, with confusion.
“He means, Leukemia.” Angelina told her.
“Luekemia?” Callie asked. She still didn’t quite understand.
Shiloh shook her head. What an idioit, she thought to herself.
“Harper was diagnosed with ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LUEKEMIA, when he was a baby.” Angelina explained.
” That’s Cancer, right? You had Cancer little fellow?!” Callie asked Harper.
Harper looked at Callie, then at his Mother. He didn’t understand what she was saying. The Jolie Pitts, rarely used the word, Cancer, in front of Harper. It was always, ‘KEMIA’ as far as he was concerned.
“Yes he had Cancer! The key word is HAD. It has been in remission, for over two years now.” Shiloh told her. You anorexic twit. She thought to herself. Harper is probably healthier than you are, you dumb *****. ****! When was ths evening going to end? She asked herself.
“Everybody? We have set a wedding date.” Apple said, as she broke the uncomfortable silence. She looked at Maddox and grabbed one of his hands.
Everyone, started to talk at once.
“When is it?” Gwyneth asked.
“Mad?” Angelina asked her son.
“Calm down everyone.” Maddox said, laughing. He continued on. “Well, we thought about June.”
“But I don’t want to be a June bride. That sounds so conry.” Apple said, laughing.
Shiloh rolled her eyes, once again.
“And we thought about May, but that’s when Zee is graduating from STANFORD. March is just a bit too soon.” Maddox looked at Apple and his family.” So, we thought about, April.”
“April Fools Day?!” Shiloh asked.
Everyone stared to laugh.
“Very, funny Shi!” Maddox said laughing.
“Tax Day?” AJ asked.
More laughter, errupted.
“The last Saturday in April, guys. That’s when we’re getting married.” Maddox told, everyone. He then looked, at Apple.
Brad and Angelina looked at one another, then at their oldest child.
“That gives us, less than six months, to plan the wedding.” Gwyneth said, with panic in her voice.
“Don’t worry, Mom. We’ll have everything, planned by then.” Apple, reassured her.
“We all, want you to be a part of the wedding.” Maddox said.
“Yes, we do! Zahara, Shiloh, Bella, Callie? Will you do me the honor, of being my Bridesmaids.” Apple asked.
HOLY ****! Shiloh thought to herself. Bridesmaid? WTF?!!
The Jolie Pitt sisters looked at one another, and then they looked at Maddox. He was beaming.
“Sure.” Zahara, said in a soft voice.
“Yes, definitely! Thanks Apple.” Bella said, smiling.
“Yeah, Apple, thanks.” Shiloh said, with as much enthusiasm, she could muster.
“Thanks, Luv! It will be no doubt, the wedding of the year!” Callie told her.
“And Moses, will you be one of my groomsmen? Along with my friend Adam, Adam Pearl, and a couple of guys, I went to GEORGETOWN with?” Maddox asked.
“Sure, mate.” Moses told him.
Maddox looked at his brother. “What about it, AJ, will you be my Best Man?”
“Does that mean, I get to plan the bachelor party?” AJ asked laughing.
“I guess, so.” Maddoz told, him, with a smile on his face.
“Count me in, Bro.” AJ told him.
“I’n going to ask Bailey Willis, to be my Maid of Honor.” Apple told, everybody.
“Bailey? Who’s Bailey?” Bella asked.
“She’s my best friend. We have known each other, since we were babies. Stella McCartney is her Mum. And by the way, Stella will be desigining my dress and the Bridesmaids, dresses.” Apple told her.
“Wow! It sounds like you guys, are haveing a big wedding!” Bella told them.
“Well, not too big.” Maddox pointed out.
“And, not too small.” Apple added.
“I want to do something too Mad!” Harper told his big brother.
Maddox laughed. “Don’t worry Harp. I have forgotten about you! You have a very important job. I hope you want to do it.”
“What is it Mad?! What is it?!” Harper asked. He was so excited.
“Well, you get to be in charged of the wedding rings. You get to hold the rings on this special pillow, when you walk down the aisle. Can you do that for me, Buddy?” Maddox asked, his little brother.
“Yeah, Mad! I can do it! I can do it!” Harper said, with excitement in his voice. Everyone, started to laugh.
Later, after dinner was served, Apple and Shiloh ran into one another, at one of the bathrooms, in the rear part of the apartment. Apple was coming in, Shiloh was coming out. They were both in the hallway.
“Break his heart, and I’ll break your face.” Shiloh told her.
Apple laughed. “Gee Shi. It’s okay if I call you, Shi? I didn’t think that you were the violent type.”
Shiloh folded her arms. “If you hurt him, in any way? You will have to deal, with me. Got it?”
Apple stepped back and leaned against the wall. “Is that a threat?”
“No, Apple. It’s pretty much a fact. You see, we Jolie Pitts, we look after one another. Protect one another. You **** with one of us? You **** with ALL of us.” Shiloh told her.
Apple licked her lips. “Just like you looked after Tobias?”
Shiloh wasn’t sure, she heard right.
“What the hell, did you just say?”
” Maddox told me all about Tobias. How he died, and you were with him, when it happened.” Apple told her.
“You ******* c*nt. I don’t want to hear you, EVER talk about him again. You got that? ” Shiloh said in a low, fierce, voice.”
Apple shrugged her shoulders. “I think you’re forgetting something Shi. The second I say, ‘I DO’? My name will also be JOLIE PITT.”
Shiloh looked at Apple. She couldn’t believe, that Maddox was actually marrying, this piece of ****.
“I don’t give a flying ****, what it will say on the marriage certficate, or any other piece of paper, for that matter. There is no way in hell, you will ever be a, Jolie Pitt.”

While the Martins flew across the Atlantic back to their London home, the Jolie Pitts made their way back, to the West Coast. Zahara flew on to San Francisco, while the rest of her family, flew back to Los Angeles. The younger Jolie Pitts still had a few more weeks of school, before the busy holiday season. December was always a busy month for the family. With Brad’s birthday, Christmas, and the New Year holiday to celebrate.
Since their travel plans for Thanksgiving were changed, the Jolie Pitts decided to spend the holidays in Morocco, with a quick trip to Ethiopia. Ever since the children were little, they had always traveled somewhere for the holidays, whether it was Europe, the Orient, Central America, the Far East, or Africa. As the children got older, Brad and Angelina asked them if they rather be home for the holidays, but Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Bella, and AJ, and even Harper, once told them, as long as they were together, they didn’t mind. The spirit of Christmas was everywhere, not just in Los Angeles.
Everyone was pretty much back into their routine, once they returned home, from New York. Brad was working hard on his new movie. He was constantly doing research, on Abraham Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth and Dr. Samuel Mudd. After the holidays, he was going back east to scout different locations. It was a hot script in Hollywood. So many different actors and actresses, wanted to be a part of it. Since Maddox and Apple had set a date, he was hoping to start filming, after the wedding. Gwenyth and Apple were in constant contact with Angelina. They were keeping her up to date, with all the arrangements. Gwyneth and Apple were in full wedding mode. Gwyneth told Angelina, she had hoped to make a trip to Los Angeles, after the holidays.
Harper unfortunately had come down with a nasty cold. He had already missed a week of pre-school. Brad was working from home one day, while Angelina was attending a luncheon. A few of her UNHCR colleagues were in town. While Brad was working on his lap top in the family room, Harper was lying on couch, with his favorite pillow, blanket, and stuffed animal, watching a DVD. His cheeks were flushed and his little nose was red. He began to cough.
Brad looked over at his youngest child. He got up and walked over toward where Harper, was lying. He sat next to him and felt his forehead and one of his cheeks.
“Hey Little Man, How are you feeling?”
“Where’s Mommy?” Harper asked in a little voice.
“She had to see some friends of hers.” Brad explained.
“When is she coming home?” Harper asked.
“She’ll be home soon, Harp.” Brad told him, as he fixed his blanket. “Does your tummy hurt?”
Harper shook his head, no.
“Do you have to go pee-pee?” Brad asked.
Harper shook his head no, once again. He clutched tighter to his stuffed elephant, who he named Charlie.
“Do you want some juice?” Brad asked.
“Yeah, Daddy. Get some for Charlie, too.” Harper told his father.
Brad smiled and then kissed Harper’s forehead. “Okay. I’ll be right back.”
Brad left the family room and headed toward the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator and got out a carton of orange juice. Bella nd AJ came into the kitchen. They had just gotten home from school and practice. AJ’S football team, was playing in the league championship game, that upcoming weekend.
“Hey Dad.” AJ said smiling.
“Hi Daddy.” Bella followed.
Brad glanced at his TAG HEUER WATCH and then at the twins as he poured some juice, into a plastic cup. “Hey guys. It’s that time already?”
Bella grabbed a piece of fruit, as she placed her backpack on the counter.”What time is that Daddy?”
“You guys are home from school. I guess I lost track of time with my research and looking after Harp.” Brad explained.
“How is he doing?” AJ asked, as he helped himself to a glass of milk.
“Pretty much the same.” Brad told him, as he left the kitchen. Bella and AJ followed him, into the family room.
“Hey Harp. How you doing buddy?” AJ asked. He grabbed once of Harper’s feet from beneath the blanket.
Brad handed him his juice.
Harper began to drink out of his cup.
“Hey Harpie.” Bella said smiling.
Harper stopped drinking his juice. He looked at his older brother and sister. “Did you guys go to school today?”
“Yeah, we did.” Bella told him. She leaned over and gave him a kiss on his forehead.
“Harp, I talked to the coach today. He said you can come out onto the field before the game on Saturday, just like the players. So you have to get well, real soon, okay?”
“Okay.” Harper said to his brother.
“Give me some knuckles.” AJ told him, smiling.
Harper made a fist with one of his small, hands, and he gave AJ some, ‘knuckles’.
Bella looked at Brad. “Daddy, he felt really warm, when I just kissed him.”
Brad looked at Harper. He felt his forehead and his cheeks again. “I think he may have a fever.” He looked up at Bella. “Button, can you go upstairs and get me the thermometer. I think Mom, left it in Harper’s bathroom.”
“Sure, Daddy.” Bella told him. She left the family room and went upstairs. AJ sat next to Brad. He looked at his father.
A few minutes later, Bella returned to the family room.
“Where’s Shiwoe?” Harper asked.
“She had classes all day today, little man.” Brad told him.
“Here you go, Daddy.” Bella said, as she handed the thermometer to Brad.
“Thanks honey.” Brad said as he looked at Bella. He then turned and looked at Harper.
“Is Shiwoe at Cowege?” Harper asked his father.
“It’s C-O-L-L-E-G-E. And yes, she is. Okay Harp. You have to be real quite for me, for a few minutes, okay?” Brad told him.
Harper nooded his head as Brad slipped the thermometer into his little mouth. A mouth that looked just like his Mother’s. Brad glanced at his watch, as the seconds ticked by. A few minutes later, Brad took the the thermometer out of Harper’s mouth and read it. Harper indeed, did have a slight fever. Brad looked at the twins.
“Yeah, he does have a little fever.”
“Hello. Where is everybody?” Angelina called out, as she walked through the house. She made her way to the family room, where she found her family.
“Hey Baby, Hey you two. Hey Harp. ” She set her LOUIS VUITTON tote down, on one of the couches. She walked over toward where Harper was lying, and Brad and AJ were sitting. Harper began to cough again.
“Oh, Harp, Baby. How are you feeling?” She sat next to Brad. She gave him a kiss and then she kissed Harper.
“Hi Mommy.” Harper said in a small voice.
“Mom, How was the luncheon?” Bella asked.
“It was very nice. How was school?” Angelina looked at Bella and AJ.
“Fine.” AJ told her.
Brad stood up. “Baby, I just took his temperature. He has a little fever.”
Angelina looked at Brad and then back at Harper. She felt his cheeks, his forehead, and his neck.
“What is it?” She asked.
“It’s a little over a 100.”Brad told her.
Angelina had the look of fear and worry on her beautiful face. A look that Brad had not seen, in almost three years.
“Angie, it’s just a little fever. He is going to catch colds. We freaked when he fell and scraped his knee, for the very first time. He is going to do a lot of things, that are going to scare us, at first. Hell, the way he and AJ horse around sometimes, he’s probably going to break a bone or two. We promised ourselves, that we were going to treat him, just like other little boys. We were not going to keep him inside, some kind of bubble. We were going to treat him, normal.”
“Brad, I know. But baby, I just get scared sometimes. He hasn’t been able to shake this cold.” Angelina told him. She lifted Harper up, and she began to rock him, in her arms.
“I missed you, Mommy.” Harper told her.
Angelina kissed him, again. “I missed you too, baby.”
Angelina looked at Brad. “Baby, if he’s still running a fever in the morning, I think Kyle should have a look at him, just to be on the safe side.”
“Alright.” Brad told her. He kissed both Angelina and Harper. He then looked at the twins.
“Why don’t you guys, give me a hand with dinner.”
“Sure, Daddy.” Bella said. She looked at AJ. “Come on, AJ.”
Brad and the twins fixed dinner while Angelina gave Harper a bath, fed him some soup and applesauce. She made sure he took his medication. After dinner, Brad read him two stories, and both he and Angelina tucked him into bed. Later that evening, just as Brad and Angelina were about to go to bed, they heard a little knock on the door. It was Harper. Sometimes he would knock, sometimes he would forget. Brad and Angelina didn’t know what to say one morning, about a year ago, when Harper had asked them, why were they wrestling, and why was Mommy, making those ‘weird noises’, when he had caught the two of them, having sex,
Angelina looked at Brad. “Did you hear something?” She got out of bed and walked over toward the door. She opened it and found Harper standing there, clutching his blanket and his stuffed elephant.
“Mommy, I don’t feel so good.” Harper said. He began to cry.
Angelina gently picked up her son.
“Oh, Baby. Mommy’s here.” Angelina felt Harper’s forehead. He was burning up. She walked over and sat on the edge, of the bed. She then looked at Brad.
“Baby, he is burning up.”
Brad walked over toward where Angelina and Harper was sitting. After Harper had caught Brad and Angelina having sex, he slept in boxers and a t-shirt.
“I’ll go get the thermometer.” He placed his hand tenderly, on top of Harper’s head. He then, left the room.
“It’s okay, baby. Everything is going to be okay.” Angelina said, as she rocked Harper. She gave him a kiss.
Bella was still up doing homework. She entered the hallway from her bedroom. She followed Brad into Harper’s bathroom.
“What’s going on?”
“Button, Harper’s not feeling well.” Brad explained.
“Oh, poor little thing.”
Brad found the thermometer and he and Bella made their way back to Brad and Angelina’s master suite. AJ came into the hallwway and made his way to his parents bedroom, also.
“Hey Harp.” AJ said to his baby brother. He gave him a quick kiss. He sat next to, Angelina.
Brad carefully slipped the thermometer into Harper’s mouth. A few minutes later, Brad was reading the thermometer.
“It’s gone up three degeees, since dinner.”
” Baby, I want him to see a doctor, now.” Angelina said, as she kissed Harper again. His pajama top, was damp.
“I’ll call Kyle, and see if he can meet us at the ER over at CEDAR’S.” He looked at Angelina. “Everything is going to be okay.”
Brad walked over to his nightstand and grabbed his cell phone, then he went into his walkin closet, to get dressed.
“Daddy, Me and AJ will be right behind you guys.” Bella told him She then turned and looked at her Mother.
“Mom? Is there anything I can do for you?”
“Yeah, Baby. Can you get Harper’s jacket. The black one, with the hood and some shoes, please?” Angelina asked. her eyes were starting to well up, with tears.
“Sure, Mom.” Bella said, as she left the room.
“Someone needs to call Shi, and let her know what’s going on.” Angelina said.
“I’ll do it, Mom.” AJ told her. He picked up Angelina’s cell phone and began to speed dial, Shiloh’s dorm room.
“Thanks, honey.” Angelina told him.
Brad came back into the room, wearing a pullover sweater and a pair of jeans. Angelina hander Harper to him.
“It will only take me a few minutes, to get dressed.” She explained.
Brad held Harper gently in his arms. He had stopped crying. But it was abovious, he was in some kind of pain.
Bella came back into the room, with Harper’s jacket, a pair of shoes, and the laptop from his bedroom, that contained all of his medical, information.
Shiloh was finishing printing out her lab report from her laptop. She had been in her dorm room, all evening, studying and doing homework. She was making a mental checklist, of the things she had gotten done today. Her cell phone, ringing, interrupted her thoughts. Shiloh smiled, when she saw the caller id.
“Uncle Mickey, Hi!”
“Hey Lassie, how are you? I didn’t wake you, did I?” Mickey Barrett asked.
He was calling from England. Shiloh had called him, after Thanksgiving. She had asked him a huge favor. Mickey had been Brad and Angelina’s bodyguard, when they traveled abroad, when the children were younger. He was also a member of the family. In fact, Mickey had known Angelina, for over 25 years. He remembered the days, when it was just Angelina and Maddox. He had watched how her family grew. He was there for the Jolie Pitts through the good times, and the bad.
“No. Believe it or not, I’m still up studying.” Shiloh said with a smile in her voice. She loved Mickey. All the children did.
Mickey laughed. “That is hard to believe. So you still want this done, Shi? I mean this can get pretty sticky, if it’s not handled, right.”
“That’s why I called you, Uncle Mickey. To make sure things, are done right. I haven’t thought about, anything, else.” Shiloh told him.
Mickey sighed into the phone. “Alright. I’ll make all the arrangements. I’ll have Bobby Sullivan get in touch with you, in a couple of days. Her father is very dear old friend of mine. She’s good. She’s also based in, New York.”
“She?” Shiloh asked.
“Yes, Bobby is a SHE. She’s one of the best in her field. She can be trusted.” Mickey reassured Shiloh.
“Thanks, Uncle Mickey.” Shiloh told him.
“So Lassie, what is the real reason, behind all of this? What really happened at Thanksgiving?” Mickey asked.
Shiloh thought for a moment, before she answered him. What Apple said about Tobias, was something that she would never, forget.
“Uncle Mickey, I just don’t trust her. I just want to see how she fills her days and her nights. I just want to be sure, that Maddox is the only person, she’s *******.”
“Never one to mince for words, hey Shi? I still remember the day you were born, Lassie. You wanted to come out feet first. You were very eager to join, this world.” Mickey told her.
“Uncle Mickey? Are you getting soft in your old age?’ Shiloh asked, smiling.
“Who the **** are you calling OLD and SOFT?!” Mickey asked. He accent was getting stronger and stronger.
Shiloh laughed. ” Now that’s the Mickey, I KNOW and LOVE!”
Mickey laughed back. He missed the Jolie Pitts. He was stunned too, when Angelina told him, that Maddox was marrying Apple Martin. He was even more stunned, when Shiloh called him if he knew of a excellent, discreet, trustworthy, private investigator. He told Shiloh, that she was playing with fire, and that there was a possibility, she could get burned, more than once.
“Okay Lassie, I better let you get back to hitting those books. You need anything, don’t hesistate to call. Bobby, will be in contact with you.”
“Okay. And thanks, again.” Shiloh told him.
“Your welcome, Lassie.” Mickey told her.
Shiloh ended the call and began to charge her phone, when it ranged again.
“Uncle Mickey, what did you forget?” She thought out loud. She looked at the caller id. It wasn’t Mickey, it was her Mother. Why was she calling, at this hour?
“Hello?”
“Hey Shi, it’s me AJ.”
Shiloh became worried. “AJ what’s going on? Is everybody okay?”
“Uh, Harper’s sick. He’s running a pretty high fever. Mom and Dad are taking him to the ER at CEDAR’S.” AJ explained.
“Oh my god. AJ are you telling me everything?” Shiloh asked her brother.
“Yeah, I am.” AJ told his sister.
“Okay. Tell Mom and Dad, I’m on my way. Give Harper a big kiss for me.” Shiloh told him. Tears started to well up, in her eyes.
“I will. See you soon, Shi.”" AJ said
“Bye AJ. Thanks for calling.” Shiloh told him. She hung up her phone. She looked around her room. Shiloh grabbed her car keys off of her desk, grabbed a jacket from the closet, and prayed that her baby brother, would be alright, as she left the room.
