Let me help burn through the pages to our Summer House -
JennJenn's Rob Fanfiction
Jennifer was dreading going to the park today – it was as hot and humid as most of the Kentucky summer days. She had promised to take her daughter’s cousins along with them to the playground. The kids loved playing together, and frankly, it was easier than having Baby Girl play on her own.
The kids were ready and Jennifer walked them all to the park. She had packed a bag with sunscreen, crackers, and juice boxes for the kids, but she soon realized that she had forgotten to bring her own water bottle. The kids loved the playground – they ran around in circles, trying all the different play equipment. They seemed oblivious to the heat. There were hardly any quibbles like there were when the kids played at home.
Jennifer was getting really hot, even though she was in the shade. Why wasn’t the drinking fountain working? She called the children over to take a break and have their juice boxes and crackers. She was dying for a juice box of her own, but she had just brought enough for the kids. Luckily, her daughter was willing to “share” a little with her.
Kids being kids, they finished their snack quickly, eager to get back to playing whatever complex game they had been playing before. Jennifer got as comfortable as possible on the bench in the shade, but she just wasn’t feeling well at all. In fact, she was getting a little dizzy from the heat. She was thinking that maybe she should take the kids home now, but she really didn’t even have enough energy to round them up to leave. Dang! Why had she forgotten her water bottle?
Things really started spinning now and Jennifer slumped down on the park bench. Her daughter noticed. “Mommy!! Don’t take a nap!!! You are supposed to be watching us!”
Jennifer didn’t seem to hear her daughter calling.
“Mommy! Wake up!!”
Again, there was no response. Baby Girl ran over to her mother and tried to wake her, but Jennifer was really woozy. The cousins all ran from their play to see what was wrong. They were all crowded around the park bench trying to wake up Jennifer, “Wake up, Wake up!!”
There weren’t any other people at the park that day and usually there wasn’t much traffic in the neighborhood, but as the chaotic scene unfolded, a car happened to be passing by. The driver couldn’t help but notice that there was something wrong – something involving children. The car stopped and a man got out and ran to see what was wrong.
One of the kids saw him coming and said, “Oh no! It’s a stranger coming, what do we do?? We need help, but it is a stranger!!”
Jennifer’s daughter looked over at the man and was overjoyed. “That’s not a stranger. That is Edward. I know him.”
Surprisingly, it was Rob Pattinson. He had been in the area checking out a race horse he wanted to buy and had just happened to be driving by the park at this moment of crisis. “What’s wrong, kids?”
“My mommy won’t wake up!” Jennifer’s daughter cried.
“Maybe it’s the heat,” Rob said as he got a closer look at Jennifer. He gently nudged her shoulder and she stirred a little. Then he sat next to her on the bench and pulled her up to a sitting position with his arm around her to support her. “ Does she have a water bottle?”
“Mommy forgot her water bottle at home,” Baby Girl said, “Please help her!!”
“Dean, grab my water bottle from the car.” Rob called to his car.
Soon Rob’s bodyguard was running up to Rob with a blue Nalgene water bottle.
“What’s her name?” Rob asked Jennifer’s daughter.
“Mommy – I mean – Jennifer.”
With his arm around her, Rob held up the water bottle, “Jennifer. Drink this water. You’ve got to have some water.” He shook her a little to wake her up more.
She took the bottle from him and started drinking. This revived her and she finally opened her eyes and looked up. Of course she thought it was one of her usual Rob dreams and didn’t respond until her daughter said, “Mommy! You’re awake!”
Jennifer was startled to see Rob’s face in front of her, so close, and to feel his arm around her. She nearly fainted again at the shock of it all. He offered the water bottle to her again and she took a few more gulps. “Thank you. I guess I must have passed out from the heat.”
“You sure did. We were driving by and we saw these kids clustered around you yelling for you to wake up. Since there weren’t any other adults around, we thought we’d better stop and help.”
“Again, thank you. I don’t know what would have happened if you hadn’t stopped. I can’t believe I put these kids at risk like that!”
“Don’t be so hard on yourself! It could happen to anyone on a day like today. I know I can’t handle heat and humidity like this. It’s definitely not like England. At least LA is dry heat.”
All during this conversation, Jennifer was feeling more and more lucid and more like herself again. “Do you mind if I ask you what you are doing in Kentucky?”
“I came to look at a race horse I’m interested in buying. I love horses and horseracing is a way that I can enjoy them with my busy film schedule.”
“Well, what did you think of the horse? Are you going to buy it?”
“The horse is magnificent. I’d love to close the deal if all the details can be ironed out.”
At this point, Jennifer was sitting up on her own and she looked much better. “Are you going to be alright?” Rob asked.
“Yes, thanks to you!”
“You’d better keep the water bottle, just in case.”
Jennifer looked at the blue bottle – it was Rob’s own Nalgene water bottle. His lips had touched this bottle. She smiled. “Thank you so much, Rob.”
Rob said goodbye to the kids and started back to the car. Out of respect for Kristen, this is where it ends.*
*except for when he buys that horse and runs into JennJenn again in town!
Enjoy, JennJenn!!
