Pick up from pg. 11


Meanwhile Charles was sitting on the couch in the livingroom hoping that Cassie will apologize to him.  Suddenly the door opened and it was Cassie.

"Cassie you're back." said Charles.

"Yeah I got your message you sent me....Charles I'm sorry I overreacted when I thought you were creepin' with Giselle." said Cassie.

"It doesn't matter.  At least you know how I feel now when you are hanging out with Robin all that the time." said Charles.

"But me and Robin are just friends Charles.  I have no idea you have felt this badly." said Charles.


"Trust me Cassie it hurts everytime you are with him.  I know I shouldn't be jealous but I always feels that you always love more than me." said Charles.

"Charles if that was the case we wouldn't be engaged right now.  Robin and I would have hooked up a longtime ago.  Robin is maybe my special friend but even he doesn't hold a candle under you.  You are the one I want to spent the rest of my life with Charles." said Cassie.

"And Cassie I love you more than life itself.  Giselle is pretty but I am in love with you not her.  I don't if it Sage, Giselle, or my old girlfriend you are the one I want.  I am marrying you not them." said Charles.

"Then we must promise each other that we have start trusting eachother more." said Cassie.

"It's a deal!  Cassie I promise you I will never hurt you and we do belong together.  And I promise nothing will get in our way for now on." said Charles.

"Charles Antoni I love you so much!" said Cassie.

"Cassie Sutton I love you too." said Charles.

Soon the two hugged and kissed.

Just as they were getting ready to take their romance to the next level, the hotel phone rang.

They both groaned.

“Should we be surprised?” Cassie asked as she reached over and answered the phone.

“Miss Sutton? This is the hotel desk. You have visitors downstairs,” said the front desk clerk.

“Who?” Cassie asked.

“The Bradshaws.”

Cassie looked at the phone in disbelief.

“What is it, Beautiful? Who‘s on the phone?” Charles asked puzzled with her demeanor.

“Charles! It‘s the front desk! My grandparents are downstairs!” Cassie told him, covering the phone with her hand.

“They‘re HERE??? Cassie---you didn‘t say your grandfather was coming here! I thought he was gonna make some phone calls and pull some strings!”

“That’s what I thought, Charles! I didn’t tell him to come here!” Cassie explained, panicking.

“Oh this is just great!” Charles remarked sarcastically.

Meanwhile on the other end of the phone the desk clerk was trying to get Cassie’s attention.

“Miss Sutton? Are you there? Hello? Hello?”

Finally Cassie realized the front desk was still holding on.

“Sorry!!! Uh…….I guess they can come up….” Cassie decided with a bit of uncertainty.

“Thank you Miss Sutton. I’ll have them escorted right up.”

Less than five minutes later, Cassie’s grandparents were knocking on the door of Chassie’s hotel suite.

"Charles get dress my grandparents are here." said Cassie.

"Now?" surprised Charles.

"Yes now!!!" said Cassie.

"Talk about a major buzzkill." disappointed Charles.

Charles went to his room to get dress.  Cassie let the Bradshaws in.

"Grandpa! Garndma! What are you two doing here?" greeted Cassie as she gave her grandparents a hug.

"We're here to see our favorite granddaughter of course and to help your boyfriend's mother out of this predicament." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Plus your Grandfather is going to show me a goodtime in Hawaii." said Beverly.

"Right after I help Cassie.!" said Judge Bradshaw.

"So are you still going pull some strings?" asked Cassie.

"Cassie I'm a man of my word.  I already called a few of my people and they are on the job as we speakes." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Thanks Granddad you are a lifesavor." said Cassie hugging her Grandfather.

"Well don't thank me just yet.  We have to pray that we are able to get Mrs. Antoni out of this mess." said Judge Bradshaw.

"What are you going to do?" asked Cassie.

"Well I'm going down to the station tomorrow and talk to them personally.  And to make some more phone calls." said Judge Bradshaw.

"That's wonderful" said Cassie.

"So how is Robin?  Have you heard from him?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"He's doing great.  Robin doing a great job in running the Rev. and I just spoke with him the other night." said Cassie.

"That's wonderful." said Bradshaw.

"Yeah he's on his way back to Sea School." said Cassie.

"You are so lucky to have a friend like Robin, Cassie." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Thanks Granddad." said Cassie.

"Well just in case its doesn't work out with that Antoni boy you better hook yourself up with Robin as soon as you can." said Judge Bradshaw.

Then Beverly elbowed him.

"Oww what?!?!" confused Judge Bradshaw.

"Granddad I already told you Robin is engaged to his girlfriend Lulu. And him and I are just friends." said Cassie.

"Are you sure?  Here's 100 bucks dumped the Antoni boy." said Judge Bradshaw.

Then Beverly hit him again.

"Owww What!?!? I was just kidding. " said Judge Bradshaw.

"Charles will grow on you just give him a chance." said Cassie.

"Well I don't know about you but I'm ready to hit the sack.  Where should I put my bags." said Beverly.

"I guess in the room over there." said Cassie.

"Good!" said Beverly.

"WAIT YOU CAN'T GO IN THE CHARLES IS IN THERE GETTING DRESSED." said Cassie.

Bit it was too late as soon as Beverly opened the door she saw Charles butt naked!!! Beverly screamed and passed out on the floor.

“BEVERLY!!” Coleman shouted as he rushed over to her and knelt on the floor.

Charles wasn’t able to get the door closed quick enough so Coleman also got a glimpse of him in the buff before it slammed shut.

“JESUS CHRIST! WHAT were you two doing when we got here?!” Coleman demanded staring at Cassie and trying to revive his wife at the same time.

“N---N----Nothing!” Cassie stammered. “Charles just got out of the shower! He was sick from our helicopter tour!”

Coleman looked at Cassie doubtfully. “mmm hmmmm…..” he replied suspicious.

After he gently slapped Beverly a few times on the cheek she started to come to. Cassie got a bottle of water from the refrigerator.

“Maybe she should drink this,” Cassie suggested as she gave it to him.

“Beverly! You okay?” he asked as she tried to get up from the floor.

Flustered, Beverly managed to stand.

“Oh my goodness!! I haven’t seen a sight like that in a very long time!” she explained fanning herself with her hand.

“EXCUSE YOU?” Coleman replied, insulted.

“Let’s be real, Coleman. Your stud days are over!” she said as she sat on the couch.

Cassie tried hard not to giggle.

“Drink some water, Grandma,” she advised as she left them on the couch and went in the room to check on Charles.

Candygwen

"Charles are you alright?" asked Cassie.

"Cassie this is the most embarassing day of my life." humiliated Charles.

"Could be worst." said Cassie.

"Like what?" asked Charles.

"At least your mom didn't walked in this time." laughed Cassie.

"It's not funny Cassie." said Charles.

"Trust me Charles your body is nothing to laugh at." said Cassie as she kissed Charles.m

"You know I'm starting to feel alot better." said Charles.

"Don't get too comfortable because we're staying here." said Colman overhearing outside.

"Why can't we get more private time?" whine Charles.

"Charlees they're my grandparents!  Give them a break okay." said Cassie.

"Alright I will...for you and because you grandfather will get my mom out of jail." said Charles.

Meanwhile back on Amtrak Train ride Lulu and Tawanna was fast asleep While Robin  tries to play a little game with Lulu. Robin grabbed Lulu's leg and removed her shoe and then Robin slowly started to removed her sock.  Just as soon as Robin was about to suck on Lulu's toes, Tawanna kicked Robin hard.

"Owww that hurt!!!" said Robin.

"Good now put her shoe back on you nasty footfetish freak!" said Tawanna.

"Why are you always up in my business just trying to mess up my program?" asked Robin.

"Boy you ain't got no program!  Your game is not that good.  Anyway shouldn't be on your laptop or cellphjone creepin' with Cassie?" asked Tawanna.

"Tawanna for the 5015 times and I have been counting there's nothing going on between me and Cassie." said Robin.

"You could've fooled me." said Tawanna.

"What are you talking about?" annoyed Robin.

"Please you ain't foolin' nobody!  You got a thing for Cassie Sutton and trying convince yourself that you're not." said Tawanna.

"For your information I am happily in love and engaged with my girl Lulu." said Robin.

"Alright so when are are you going to set a wedding date or are you going to keep stringing her around." said Tawanna.

""We'll set a date when we graduate." said Robin.

"Alright then and when are you going to work on your wedding plans?" asked Tawana.

"When I'm good and ready." said Robin.

"That is so lame!  You can do better than that." said Tawanna.

"Why do you always expect the worst of me?" asked Robin.

"Look I'm just looking out for my girl.  I don't want to see her get hurt." said Tawanna.

"I promise you I am not going to hurt Lulu." said Robin.

"You better not or you'll answer to me." said Tawanna.

"Hey what's going on and where's my other shoe and sock?" confused Lulu  waking up.

batman642

“HE DID IT!!” Tawanna shouted loudly, pointing an accusatory finger at Robin.

Lulu giggled. “Oh Boo……..I should’ve known!”

She grabbed her sock away from Robin and put it back on.

“So you guys ready to hit the books again?” Lulu asked them.

“I can hardly wait….” Robin muttered.

“I don’t know about hitting the books, but I’m looking forward to going to Hawaii!” Tawanna said excitedly.

“That’s where Cassie is now,” Lulu told her.

“For real? What’s she doing there?” Tawanna asked nosily.

“Charles’ dad sent them on a trip--all expenses paid,” Lulu said, happy for her friend.

“You mean the mafia guy? I thought he was in prison?” Tawanna said, confused.

“No, not him. Turns out that Charles’ REAL dad is a prominent attorney!”

“Dang! His mom was a real gold digger back in the day!” Tawanna remarked.

“Don’t dis Mrs. A. She’s cool people,” Lulu said defensively.

“Whatever!” Tawanna said sucking her teeth. Then she turned to Robin. “So Rob--you think we’ll run into Cassie while we’re in Hawaii?” she asked slyly.

Candygwen

"Umm uhh I don't know....anything possible!" said Robin.

"If we do run into them!  We can't be rude.  I have to hang out with them." said Lulu.

"Well there's a reason why they went on this trip alone.  I think they want some alone time." said Robin.

"Oh Boo I'm sure they don't mind us hanging out with them.  After all we are planning a double wedding." said Lulu.

"A double wedding..hmm you and Cassie are really are close." said Tawanna giving Robin an evil grin.

"Shut up Tawanna!" muttered Robin.

"As close as Robin and Cassie are I bet she will be so happy to see you Robin." said Lulu.

"Of course I know Robin probably is!" said Tawanna.

"Ummm who's up for some dragon's lair?" asked Robin changing the subject.

"Ooh I am you still owe me a ematch." said Tawanna.

"Boo you try playing some other games besides Dragon's Lair." said Lulu.

"Hey Dragon's Lair is best game of the century." said Robin.

"Besides that's only way he can imagine Cassie as Princess Daphne." laughed Tawanna.

Robin elbowed her.

"Boy elbowed me again and see what happens." warned Tawanna.

"What did you say about Princess Daphne?" confused Lulu.

"She means I think of you as Princess Daphne." lied Robin.

"Oh okay I'm going back to sleep." said Lulu.

Meanwhile back at the hospital Andrew's mom finally arrived to see her son.

batman642

She was an attractive woman who appeared to be about Jenn’s age. She was taller than most Hispanic women with long dark hair, braided in a long ponytail down her back.

“Ay dios mio! Que pasan?” she asked as she rushed to his bedside, ignoring the others.

“I fell, Mom. I’m okay--really I am,” he assured her.

She cradled his head in her arms and showered him with kissed.

“Pobrecito….” she sighed sympathetically.

“Mom, I want you to meet, Lizzie,” he said, trying to get the focus off of himself.

“Ay! I so sorry!” she apologized in broken English. “I no see anyone but my Andrew!”

Lizzie smiled politely and held out her hand. “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Ortega,” she said shaking hands with her.

“Gracia, Lizzie,” she replied.

“This is my Mom and Dad and my brother Nate,” Lizzie said introducing the rest of her family.

“El gusto es mio,” Mrs. Ortega nodded politely, shaking their hands.

“Mom! Speak English!” Andrew corrected her, embarrassed.

Jenn smiled. “It’s okay, Andrew, your mom’s upset.”

“Si, si! Como estas?” she asked her son as she caressed his cheek.

“Mom, I said I’m okay! I just fell and hit my head and blacked out for a minute.”

“Well now that your Mom is here, I think we’d better get going,” Eddie said as he headed for the hospital door.

“Thanks for everything, Mr. Sutton. I’m sorry if I caused you any trouble,” Andrew apologized.

“No trouble at all. You were defending my daughter’s honor from what I gather. She looks at you as her hero!” Eddie replied.

“Hang in there, Andrew!” Nate said leaving the room.

“Mom, Dad? Can I stay a little longer?” Lizzie asked, lingering at Andrew’s bedside.
Candygwen

"Lizzie it's getting late." said Jenn.

"But mom!" whined Lizzie.

"Lizzie you heard your mother.  You'll see Andrew tomorrow.  Besides Tay is at home alone with Natalie and the twins.  Those kids are going to get restless and Tay can only do so much." said Eddie.

"Oh alright!" said Lizzie disappointed.

"Say goodnight Lizzie." said Jenn.

"Goodnight Andrewkins" said Lizzie.

"Night Lizzie!" said Andrew as the two kissed.

Then Eddie quickly grabbed Lizzie.

"We don't want to wear out our welcome." said Eddie as they all left.

Andrew was head over hills.  Meanwhile back at the household Natalie and the twins was running wild until Tay came up with an idea.  Tay popped in the dvd of Barney and friends and that kept Natalie and the twins quiet.  The three started singing Barney song. (Click on the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4khsNLrtik).  Tay was getting irritated by the song so ran the kitchen and listen to his music.

batman642

Meanwhile, Eddie, Jenn, Nate and Lizzie were in the car on their way back to the house.

“God this has been an awful day!” Jenn remarked.

“Yeah, when it rains it pours. First the news about Marla and then Andrew gets hurt!”

Eddie agreed.

“Not to mention we haven’t had anything to eat in hours! I’m starving!” Nate added.

“What’s for dinner, Mom?” Lizzie asked.

“Sorry but I was just a bit preoccupied with your boyfriend laying up in the hospital. I didn’t get a chance to plan tonight’s menu, Lizzie,” Jenn remarked annoyed.

Eddie took his eyes off the rode quickly and glanced at his wife, detecting her bad mood.

“I tell you what---how bout we stop and pick up some burritos?” Eddie suggested, trying to lighten the mood.

“Sounds good to me,” Jenn said, relieved she wouldn’t have to cook.

“I’m down,” Nate agreed.

“Burritos it is then! Thanks Dad!” Lizzie chimed in.

Eddie caught her eye through the rearview mirror and winked at Lizzie, grinning.
Candygwen

Lizzie smile back!  Meanwhile back at Hawaii at the hotel Charles was finally dressed and came out of the room.

"Alright the room is all yours." said Charles.

"After what I saw I don't think I want to go in that room." said Beverly.

"Beverly you saw the boy naked!  It's not like him and Cassie had sex in the room....you didn't had sex in there did you?" asked Bradshaw suspicious.

"Noway!  Honest we didn't." lied Cassie.

"You better not...I got my eye on you boy.  But just to make sure Cassie can share the room with your grandmother and Charles can share the room with me." said Judge Bradshaw.

"DAMMIT!!!" yelled Charles.

"What was that boy?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"I says slammin!  He can hardly wait." lied Cassie.

"That's what I thought." said Judge Bradshaw.

"It's going to be like staying at the beachhouse all over again." mutter Charles.

"Charles calmed down we need him to free your mother remember?" whispered Cassie.

"Alright alright! I want to get my freak on baby." whined Charles.

"And you will just be patience." said Cassie.

"Well since it's our first night here why don't I take you all out to dinner?  My treat." said Judge Bradsaw.

"That's a wonderful idea." said Cassie.

"I love it Coleman." said Beverly.

"Great!" said Charles with a fake smile.

(oh, thx batman42 for the barney vid lol)

Back at Monica’s house, Devin and Kendra are on the couch watching TV in the den.

“You’re so quiet, Devin,” Kendra remarked when the commercial came on.

“I’m always quiet,” he replied defensively.

“Nuh---uh. Not THIS quiet! What’s on your mind?” she wanted to know, curious.

Devin was thinking of what happened between him, Lizzie and Andrew.  "Nothin," he lied.
Candygwen

(You're welcome Candygwen)

"You sure?" asked Kendra.

"I'm positive!  lets watch televison." said Devin.

"I have a better idea.  Lets get cozy." said Kendra as she tries to snuggle up to Devin.

"Nah not tonight Kendra I'm not in the mood." said Devin.

"Devin are you sure you alright?" asked Kendra concerned.

"I'm positive I just need sometime to relax that's all.  Lets just watch t.v alright." annoyed Devin.

"Okay but Devin you still into me are you?" worried Kendra.

"Of course always." said Devin.

"Okay I'll be back.  I have to powder my nose." said Kendra.

"Alright take your time." said Devin.

"Good I have to text Lizard to see if Latino boy is alright." said Devin to himself.

While Devin is texting Kendra was in the bathroom pulling out a can of beer in her purse and started drinking.

batman642

Lizzie got Devin’s text message while she and Eddie were picking up the burritos. She showed it to her father.

“Hmm…..I think we should stop by Monica’s house and let her know what Devin did. Don’t you?” Eddie asked Lizzie.

“Should I text Devin and tell him we’re coming over?” Lizzie asked.

“Nah…….let’s SURPRISE him,” Eddie said.

“Oh…..I get it, Dad,” Lizzie replied nodding. “I’ll just text him that Andrew had a mild concussion.”

“Good idea,” Eddie agreed as he paid for the burritos.

They walked back to the car where Jenn and Nate sat patiently waiting and got in.

“We’ve gotta make a quick stop on the way home,” Eddie told his wife and son.

“Where to?” Nate asked.

“I want to swing by Monica Morgan’s house and make sure she knows what went down with Devin today,” Eddie answered.

“Alright, but pass me a burrito, please!” Nate whined.

So they drove over to the house to pay Monica and Devin a surprise visit.
Candygwen

Meanwhile Devin was chillin' watching until Monica returned back from work..

"Hey Devin!." said Monica entering the house.

"Hi Miss Monica!" said Devin.

"Where's Kendra?  I thought you said you two were hanging out this evening?" confused Monica.

"She's in the bathroom." said Devin.

"Is everything alright Devin.  You looked troubled?" concerned Monica.

"I fine just alot on my mind." lied Devin.

"Want to talk about it?" asked Monica.

"NO!!!  I mean nah I'm cool." said Devin.

"Alright I'm there if you need me." said Monica.

Then the doorbell rang.

"Who could be ringing the door at this hour?" wonder Monica.

"Monica opened the door and it was Eddie.

"Eddie! Jen! What are you two doing at this hour?" asked Monica.

batman642

The Suttons exchanged awkward glances with each other as they stood at Monica's front door. 

"We apologize for the intrusion, Monica," Jenn said.

"No, no.  I apologize --- please -- come in!  I didn't mean to make you feel unwelcomed!  It's just that I'm so surprised!  But in a GOOD WAY!"

She let them the four of them in and led them to the livingroom.

"Sit.  Relax.  Can I get you anything?" she asked anxiously.

Jenn chuckled.  "We were eating burritos on the way over in the car!"

"So what brings you all over?  Is there a problem?  Please don't tell me Robin and Lulu missed their train!  I haven't heard a WORD from either one of them!  OMG.......a train wreck!  Has there been a train wreck?!" she asked, panicking.

"No no no no no!" Eddie insisted.  "Nothing like that, Monica!"

She put her hand to her chest and let a sigh of relief.  "Thank God!  What is it then?"

"Lizzie?  Would you like to tell Monica why we're here?" Eddie asked.

Monica looked at Lizzie and gasped.  "You're not PREGNANT are you????"

Nate sucked his teeth.  "Ain't it just like a white woman to think all young black girls get pregnant!"

Monica's face turned bright red.  "I'm sorry!  I'm sorry!  I didn't mean it like that!" she said nervously.

"We know, Miss Monica.  My brother is just uptight," Lizzie said calmly.  "I'm not offended."

"Just tell me what's going on----please!" she urged Lizzie.

"Devin came by my house today and grabbed me and kissed me in front of my boyfriend.  When my boyfriend tried to come between us, Devin punched him SO HARD that he went flying off of the porch and landed on the back of his head, and now he's in the hospital with a concussion," Lizzie reported.

This time, Monica's face drained of all color and she looked as pale as a ghost. 

"That's awful!!  No wonder Devin looked strange......" she thought outloud.

"So we're assuming he didn't tell you?" Eddie asked.

"I just got home a minute ago, but I noticed he didn't look himself and I asked him about it but he said he was fine."

"We just thought you should know in case the kid's mother tries to get money for the medical expenses," Eddie explained.

"Yes, of course!  I really appreciate you telling me!  Now just wait right here while I go get Devin.  He owes Lizzie an apology.  He owes ALL OF YOU an apology!"  she said as she rushed out to the den.

Shortly afterwards the Suttons heard Devin screaming in agony and then saw that Monica was pulling him by the ear all the way into the livingroom.
Candygwen

"Owww dang Miss Monica my ear is sensitive." said Devin in pain.

"You're lucky I'm nice person Devin and I just pulled your ear and not tear your butt up.  Now you apologize to Lizzie and her family right now." demanded Monica.

"Alright Lizzie I'm sorry I kissed against your will.  And I'm sorry that I have caused everyone so much trouble. It will never happened again.  Now will you let go of my ear now oww!!!" cried Devin.

Monica finally let go Devin's ear.

"Well Lizzie!" said Jenn.

"Do I have to?" asked Lizzie.

"Lizzie we brought you up better than that.  And we have taught you about forgieness." said Jenn.

"Alright fine...I forgive you Devin." said Lizzie.

"Thanks Lizzie....Eddie! Jenn!  I am so sorry about this I thought Devin knew better." said Monica.

"Stop apologizing!  We know how you feel when our kids step out of line." said Eddie.

"Devin when Kendra gets out of the bathroom you tell her to go home and the first thing tomorrow we are going to the hospital so you can apologize to Lizzie's boyfriend.  Do I make myself clear?" said Monica.

"Yes ma'am!" said Devin.

"And you Devin we will discuss your punishment later on." said Monica.

"Miss Monica I said I was sorry!  What more do you want?" asked Devin.

"Little boy don't test me and take my kindness for weakness." warned Monica.

"No ma'am" said Devin running upstairs.

"She told him off." laughed Lizzie.

"Remind not to get on her bad side." whispered Nate.

Meanwhile back at Hawaii Chassie and the Bradshwas was getting ready to go out to eat.


batman642

On the way down to the Lobby, the elevator stopped on one of the lower floors and a few people got on.  One of them was Wes Benjamin.

"Charles!  Cassie!  Funny how we keep running into each other, isn't it?" he asked.

They both gave him weak smiles.  He was the last person they wanted to run into with the Bradshaws.

"Tell me, have you guys heard from Marla?  Did she get back home alright?" Wes inquired.

Candygwen

"Back home?  What is he talking about?" confused Judge Bradshaw.

"Oh sure.....um dad let me hangout with you for a moment." said Charles.

"But aren't you spending an evening with Cassie and company?" confused Wes.

"I don't mind Mr. B.  You two needs some father and son time.  My Grandparents and I have some catching up to do anyway." said Cassie.

"Well okay!" confused Wes.

"Cassandra what is going on here.  Why didn't you tell that man that his mother got arrested?" concerned Beverly.

"I'll explain it to you two as soon as we arrived at the restuarunt." said Cassie.

"So where are we going?" asked Beverly.

"The highest and best restuarunt in Hawaii.  All expense my treat." said Bradshaw.

"Granddad you don't have to go through all that trouble." said cassie.

"Cassie I insist." said Judge Bradshaw.

Meanwhile back at the Sutton household Lizzie, Nate, Eddie and Jenn arrived back home.  As they walked into the house they saw Natalie and twins watching tv singing the Barney song.

"I love you, you love me we one big happy family." as the three sing.

"What on God's earth are you three watching?" stunned Lizzie.

"The Purple dinosuar is giving me the creeps.  I better change the channel quick.  I rather go back to Iraq than listen to this." said Nate.

Nate change the channel and turn on Cartoon Network to watch Scooby Doo.  The kids enjoyed it.

"Scooby Dooby Doooo!!!!" said Kalie, Colin, and Natalie in unison.

"Thank God!  I was worry for a minute there." said Eddie.

They all went to the kitchen to see where Tay was.  Tay was in the kitchen cleaning up the mess Natalie and the twins made.

"What the hell?" shocked Nate.

"Natalie and the twins did it...thank god you're back!" relieved Tay.

"Those kids are a handful huh?" laughed Eddie.

"Dad that's not funny.  Those kids are monsters." said Tay.

"They aren't that bad Tay." said Jenn.

"That because you're not around." said Tay.

"What possessed you to have them watch Barney?" asked Lizzie.

"Hey it was the only way to get them to behave.  When is Cassie coming back?" whined Tay.

"Soon Tay soon!" said Jenn.

"Here Tay I left you you a burrito. A healthy one with vegatables." said Eddie.

"Why am I not surprise?  After this I 'm willing to eat anything.." said Tay.

"Yeah Iwe're figured you must be starving by now." said Nate.

"So what happened at the hospital?  Is Andrew going to be alright?" asked Tay.

batman642

"Yes, he has a mild concussion," Jenn replied. "He should be going home tomorrow.  They'll observe him overnight."

"Cool.  I like Andrew," Tay remarked.

"Yeah, he seems like a nice enough kid," Nate agreed.  "Of course, that's what I thought about Devin too...."

"Devin's cool too.  He's just got issues," Tay replied.

Nate smirked.  "Don't we all?"

"Funny you should mention that," Eddie began, "because your mother and I have been talking about family counseling."

Nate, Lizzie and Tay all froze dead in their tracks.

"Well???  Didn't you just say we all have issues?" Eddie continued.
Candygwen


"Yeah but we're not crazy!" shocked Tay.

"And we are not dynfunctional either." said Lizzie.

"We know that and no one said you all are crazy but this family through some real rough times and I think it has taken a toll on us.  I mean so much has happened to us and I think it's time that we talk with someone." said Jenn.

"Why can't we just have a family meeting like we always do?" asked Lizzie.

"I think counseling is the best way for us to comunicate better and bring us closer together." said Jenn.


"I don't know about this!" said Tay.

"Yeah I already been through one counseling enough when I got kidnapped." said Lizzie.

"This is different!  This time we all need it and it will do us some good.  When Cassie gets back from Hawaii all of us will get counseling.  Do I make myself clear?" demanded Eddie.

"Yes sir." muttered Tay and Lizzie.

"Can we go upstairs now?" asked Tay.

"Yes and Tay be careful with that buritto.  Don't make a mess." said Eddie.

"Are you sure counseling is a good idea?" asked Nate.

batman642

 "I'm really surprised at you, Nate," Jenn interrupted.  "I would think you of all people would be all for the idea.  I mean, you recently went to counseling for the PTSD.  Didn't it help?"

Nate shrugged.  "I guess."

"Come on, Nate.  Be a good sport and do it for the family.  Do it for your Dad!  He's really serious about this and that says alot if Eddie Sutton is reaching out for a helping hand," Jenn remarked.

Eddie frowned.  "I don't know about ALL THAT, Jenn!  I just think this family has been through what the average family never has to face, and we're not SUPERHUMAN.  We all have our limits, and I think we've just about reached our limit."

"So what do you say, Nate?" Jenn asked, hopeful.

Nate nodded.  "What he's saying makes alot of sense.  I guess it wouldn't hurt...." he agreed.

Jenn smiled and hugged him.  "Thanks Nate!  I'm glad we're all on board!"

"But what about the expense?  Counseling ain't cheap you know," Nate continued.

"Which is why it's a good thing Cyd Glass gave us half her money!" Eddie quickly added.

"Hmm......" Nate said deep in thought.  "How's she doing anyway---Cyd?  Anybody ever hear from her?"

Eddie and Jenn looked at each other, surprised that Nate cared.
Candygwen


"Well?!?" wondered Nate.

"Well umm I guess she is doing fine...I guess." said Jenn.

"I think I have her number" said Eddie.

"YOU DO?  GO GET IT...I mean can I call her?" asked Nate with excitement.

"Sure I'll go get it." said Eddie.

Eddie went upstairs to get Cyd's number and gave it to Nate.  Nate quickly took the number and called Cyd.

"I wonder what's that all about?" confused Eddie.

"I don't know if I didn't know any better I think Nate is taking a certain interest in Cyd." said Jenn.

Meanwhile back at Hawaii Cassie and her grandparents arrived at a fancy Hawaiian restuarunt.

"Oh Grandpa, this is beautiful....." Cassie remarked as she gazed around, awestruck.

The restaurant was decorated with lots of candles and the lighting was very relaxing and warm.

"My Coleman knows how to treat his ladies," Beverly said proudly.  "No half stepping for him!"

Coleman was beaming from ear to ear, happy that his wife and granddaughter were impressed already.

After they sat at the table, he made an announcement.  "You can order ANYTHING you want--the sky's the limit!"

Cassie's eyes got big.  "Really Grandpa?"

"Really!" he insisted.

Cassie immediately started reading the menu.

"Find anything interesting yet?" he asked her.

Then she thought about the Luau the other night..

"You did say ANYTHING, didn't you?" she repeated just to make sure.

"That's what your grandfather said, Cassandra.  Now what do you want?" Beverly asked, curious.

A slight smile came across Cassie's face.  "I'd like a Pina Colada for starters.  And NOT a virgin one.  A REAL one!"

Caught off guard by her request, her grandparents looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Finally, Coleman shrugged as he gave in to her wishes and ordered her the drink for her.

"A promise is a promise," he agreed reluctantly.

Cassie giggled and clapped excitedly. "Yay!!!"

"Well I'm not gonna let you drink alone!" Beverly told her as she called the waitress back to the table.

"Yes, Ma'am?  Would you like a drink too?" the waitress asked.

"Yes, please.  Vodka!"

"Oh lord I hope these ladies don't get drunk." Coleman thought to himself.

Meanwhile back at the Sutton house Nate called up Cyd Glass and Cyd answer the phone.

"Hello!." answered Cyd.

"Hey Cyd whatsup!" said Nate.

"Who this?" confused Cyd.

"It's me Nate Ray!  Eddie's Oldest son from the military." he said.

"Hey whatsup!" said Cyd.

"Nothing much I just want t say for giving my dad and his wife half of the money.  I very much appreciate that." said Nate.

"Ain't no big thing.  Your dad really deserved it.  After all he took time to help me out." said Cyd.

"Yeah my dad is one of a kind." said Nate.

"So is there something you want?" asked Cyd.

"I was just thinking about you and see if you alright." said Nate.

"Yeah I fine thanks." said Cyd.

"Hey if you not too busy maybe you and I can go out and have a cup of coffee tomorrow." said Nate.

"I don't think that's a good idea." said Cyd.

"It doesn't has to be a date or anything just us hanging out." said Nate.

"Umm I have to think about it." said Cyd.

"Alright let me know by tomorrow.  I don't want to rush you." said Nate.

"Okay thanks!" said Cyd.

"Call you later." said Nate hanging up.

Back at Monica's house, Kendra emerges from the bathroom feeling buzzed and looking for Devin in the den.

"Devin???" she calls as she comes out of the empty den looking bewildered.

Monica hears her and comes out of the livingroom. 

"Kendra, you'll have to go home now.  Devin's upstairs and his privileges have been taken away for now," she explained.

Kendra's guilty conscience got the best of her.

"His privileges have been taken away?  Because of this?" she asked, pulling out the empty beer can from her purse.

Monica gasped.

"Kendra!!!  You two have been drinking?!" she asked, shocked.

"No---not Devin!  Just me!  You shouldn't take his privileges away---he didn't know I had beer on me, Miss Monica!  Honest!"

Monica put her hands on her hips, outdone with both teenagers. 

"Young lady, Devin's privileges have been taken away because of something HE did---not because of something YOU did.  Now I don't know whether to believe you or not when you say he didn't know you had beer, but now that I KNOW YOU HAD BEER, we've got a problem!  I don't allow underage drinking in my house---EVER!  Do you understand me?"

Kendra looked sad.  "Yes, Ma'am.  Sorry."

"I can't let  you go home all alone under the influence.  I'll have to drive you," Monica decided as she went to get her purse and keys.

Embarrassed about the poor living conditions at her own house, Kendra didn't like that idea at all.
Candygwen

"Miss Monica you better let me call a cab instead." said Kendra.

"No way I'm driving you home right now." said Monica.

"Miss Monica please!!!' begged Kendra.

"Kendra if you trying to keep me from telling your parents but your wrong.  You have got a serious problem young lady.  Now I am disappointed in you both." said Monica.

"Miss Monica I swear to God that Devin didn't drink at all.  He didn't even know I have the beer in my pulse.  Devin is innocent." said Kendra.

"I don't know what to believe right now.  But because I had a very long day I'll take your word but you have got a serious problem and I think you need help.  Now wait here while I get my coat" said Monica.

Monica got her coat and pulse and went to Devin's room.

"Devin I'm going to drop Kendra off at her house.  When I get back you and I are going to have long serious talk." said Monica.

"Yes ma'am." said Devin.

As soon as Monica return downstair she saw her cabinet was opened and her bottle of rum was missing and so was Kendra.  Moment later Monica saw Kendra escaped out of the window with a bottle of scotch and she jumped into a cab and left.

batman642

Monica was furious as she stormed back up the stairs to Devin's room and barged in, startling him.

"YO!" he reacted, not knowing what to expect.

"Don't yo me!" she shouted.

"Oh!  I didn't know it was you--I thought you took Kendra home!" Devin explained, shaken.

"Let me tell you about little miss KENDRA!  She STOLE a whole bottle of my best Scotch!  Johnny Walker Black Label!  Do you know how expensive that is???" she yelled.

"No," Devin replied weakly.

"She broke in to the liquor cabinet, stole my scotch and jumped out the window!" Monica reported in disbelief.

Devin imagined what Monica was describing and couldn't stop the smirk from showing up on his face.

"And you think this is FUNNY???  What's WRONG with that girl anyway?!" Monica demanded.

"It's not funny, Ma'am.  I'm sorry about your alcohol.  I'll make her pay for it," he promised.

Monica frowned.  "I don't think you can MAKE that girl do ANYTHING she doesn't want to do!" she remarked doubtful.

Devin smirked again.  "I have my ways..." he boasted.

Monica did a doubletake.  "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY YOUNG MAN????" she asked, shocked.

Before he could respond, she continued, "You are SO GROUNDED Devin Kingston that by the time you're able to see her, you won't even remember what Kendra looks like!  Do you understand?!"

Compared to the way Reverend Kingston used to physically abuse him, Monica's discipline was child's play.  But Devin would never let Monica know that, so he put on the saddest face he could manufacture and pretended that the punishment made him miserable.
Candygwen

"Yes ma'am and I'm sorry." said Devin with as he put on fake sad face.

"I'm really disappoined in Devin.  Now stay in your room and think about what you did." said Monica as she stormed out and slammed the door.

Devin fellout laughing.

"OMG I am living in a real life Brady Bunch." said Devin to himself.

Devin felt like he was living large and he can get over with anything.  Meanwhile back in Hawaii  Cassie, Beverly and Coleman was ordering their food.

"Is there anything else?" asked the waiter.

"Yes can you get me another Pina Colada?" asked Cassie.

"Right away ma'am." said the waiter.

"Cassie that's your third one!  I think you better slow down  on those drinks." said Coleman.

"Oh Coleman lighten up the girl eighteen.  Let her live alittle." said Beverly.

"But she's still underage." said Coleman.

"She's consider an adult." said Beverly.

"Woman you're crazy." said Coleman.

"You always so uptight.  You never do anything fun." said Beverly.

"No he's right I better stop." said Cassie.

"Nonsense we're your grandparents it's job to spoil you.  Waiter get me another vodka as well." said Beverly.

batman642

While they waited for more drinks, Cassie explained to her grandparents the situation with Wes and Marla and how the lottery money was being kept a secret.

Meanwhile, Wes and Charles went to a supper club for some father/son bonding.

“This seems like a pretty cool place,” Charles remarked as they entered and sat down at a table.

“You’ll like it,” Wes assured him with a smile.

Not long after they were seated, the lights dimmed low, loud drums started beating and the music came on.

Charles’ face lit up as he saw the stage start to fill with Hawaiian girls in grass skirts.

“YES!! My kinda place!” he told his father, patting him on the shoulder.

Wes smirked. “That’s my boy! Good ole red blooded American boy!”

Father and son enjoyed the show.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nAiiXNDvhs&feature=related

(Thanks for the links Candygwen.)

"Wow I don't want this show to end." said Charles.

"Well don't forget you got a fiancee' to marry." said Wes.

"Yeah Yeah I know!  She's having her fun with her grandparents let me have fun with my old man." said Charles.

"Who you calling old?" laughed Wes.

Soon the ladies pull all the guys including Charles and Wes to the stage.  Moments later they started dancing with the Hula girls.  Charles was really getting into the hula girls and so was Wes.

"Charles I think I have died and gone to heaven." said Wes.

"Dad we are at paradise! What you expect." laughed Charles.

Then one of the Hawaiian Hula girls wink at Charles.  Charles begin to blush.  After the dance The father and son took pictures with the hula girls.

"This is the best night of my life." said Charles.

"I'm glad to see you having fun." said Wes.

Suddenly one of the Hula girls who wink at Charles gave him her phone and address.

"Call me and I give you more than a dance." said the Hula girl as she left.

Charles was blush and stared at the Hula Girl's ass as she left.  Suddenly Wes snatched the number off of Charles hand.

"Dad!! What you do that for?" shocked Charles.

"Like I say before you've got a fiancee' to married.  I'm not going to let you blow something that special over some Hawiian flame." said Wes.

"I hear you dad!  Cassie means alot to me.  Come on let me buy something to drink.  My treat this time." said Charles.

"We should do this more often." said Wes.

"Yes we should." said Charles.

Meanwhile, back in California, Bill finds Giselle in her room sobbing and tries to console her.

“Won’t you tell Uncle Billy what the problem is sweetie pie? How can I help you if you won’t talk to me?” he pleaded with her.

Finally, Giselle pulled herself together and started to tell Uncle Bill her version of what went on between her and Charles.
Candygwen

"He force me to take those revealing pictures of myself and email to him." lied Giselle.

"HE WHAT!!!!" shocked Bill.

"He told me it was the only way for me to hook up with him.  He promise that he will leave Cassie for me if I took those pictures of myself." said Giselle as she kept lying.

"THAT FILTHY BASTARD!!!!! Then what else happened?" asked Bill.

"When Charles got those pictures he laughed and said he doesn't want anything to do with me because my body is joke.  I feel so dirty and used." cried Giselle.

"Sweetie why didn't you tell me about this sooner?" asked Bill.

"I didn't want to upset you or ruined your relationship with Mrs. Antoni." lied Giselle.

"You can never upset me and just because Mrs. Antoni has a scumbag for a son doesn't mean I love her less.  Now you finally realize what kind jerk Charles really is and now you know why I want you to stay away from him." said Bill.

"I do now Uncle Bill." said Giselle as she fake cried on Bill shoulder.

"And when I see that bastard he's definitely going to pay for what he did.  No one hurts my niece and gets away with it." said Bill.

"You're not going to kill him are you?" concerned Giselle.

"Of course not!  I'm not going to jail for that fool.  I just going to ruff his street punk ass up a bit." said Bill.

Meanwhile back in the Hawaiian jail the guard comes and gets Marla.

“Let‘s go,” he tells her as he opens up the door.

“Where now?” she asked.

“We’re putting you in general population,“ he informed her.

“What’s that?“ she asked as she followed him down the hall.

He looked back at Marla and smirked. “You’ll see,“ he replied.

After a few twists and turns down a number of different corridors, he unlocked a large door, revealing rows and rows of jail cells all occupied by women.

Before the guard went any further he showed Marla where to get a blanket and pillow.

After she got the bedding, they started walking past the jail cells. Some of the women made nasty remarks at Marla, humiliating her, but she tried not to show too much emotion.

Finally, they reached the cell where Marla would be spending the night.

“Home sweet home,” the guard said sarcastically as he unlocked it and motioned for her to step inside.

A slim, blonde woman was occupying the bottom bunk. She turned over and looked at Marla briefly, sizing her up.

Marla did the same, not realizing that the cellmate she was looking at was Sabrina Gaspar.
Candygwen

"You better get used to the cell.  You are going to be in here for very longtime." said the guard.

"GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS...I'M INNOCNENT!!!! I'M INNOCENT I TELL YOU!!!!" screamed Marla.

"We all are hun!  We all are!" said Sabrina.

"Get away from me you bimbo!" snapped Marla.

"If I were you I wouldn't tried to act so tough in prison." said Sabrina.

"And why not?" asked Marla.

"Look around you.  You are in prison with a bunch of ladies who love to beat up and take advantage of rich loudmouth girls." said Sabrina.

"Please I was married to a mob once.  I can pretty much take care of myself thank you." said Marla sarcasticly.

"Hey I just trying to help you out." said Sabrina.

"I don't need your help." said Marla.

"So what you in for anyway?" asked Sabrina.

"None of your damn business.  Now if you excuse me!  I want to get some sleep." said Marla.

"Alright but you get the top bunk tuss." said Sabrina.

Meanwhile Charles return to hotel all happy.

"Wow what a night.  I wonder what Cassie and her grandparents are doing?" wondered Charles.

Later on Judge Bradshaw and Cassie returned from the restuarunt with a drunk Beverly.  The two carried her all the way back to the hotel.

batman642

Charles was sprawled out on the couch watching TV when the hotel phone rang. It was the front desk calling to let him know that the others were on their way up and needed help with Beverly.

Charles rushed and opened the door, anxiously waiting for the elevator to arrive. When it did, the Judge and Cassie struggled to assist Beverly as she staggered out and down the hall to the suite.

Concerned and thinking that Beverly was sick, Charles held the door opened for them.

“Is she gonna be alright?” he asked as the three awkwardly entered the suite and he shut the door.

“ALRIGHT?!! WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME?!” Beverly shouted indignantly.

“Shhhh!!! Grandma, Grandma, calm down,” Cassie coaxed her.

“Beverly it’s time for you to get to bed and sleep it off,” Coleman told her as they headed towards the bedroom.

Then Charles realized that Beverly was drunk and not sick.
Candygwen

Charles tried hard not but couldn't resist.

"Boy I know you are not laughing." said Coleman looking down at Charles.

"No sir!" lied Charles as he begin to snickered.

"Oh that's funny to you huh?" said Coleman getting angry.

"No sir...allergies!" lied Charles as he tried to keep a straight face.

"Look Mrs. Bradshaw had a little too much fun that night and she needs some rest." said Coleman.

"Grandpa do you need me to help grandma get into bed?" asked Cassie.

"No sweetheart I'll take it from here.  At least there's one adult who drank responsibly.  I guess Jenn and Eddie did something right after all." said Coleman as he hugged  Cassie.

"Night Grandpa!" said Cassie.

"Night Cassie!  And as for you boy you just remember who's trying to get your momma out of jail." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Yes sir!  Night Gramps!" said Charles.

"Young man I am not a gramps!  That Judge Bradshaw to you." warned Coman.

"Yes sir!" said Charles.

Coleman went into the bedroom with a drunk Beverly.

"God no matter what I do your family will never accept me." said frustrated Charles.

"Give him time!  He'll warm up to you.  It took my dad awhile to finally accept you.  Grandpa Bradshaw will too." said Cassie.

"I don't know Cassie!  He still want you to hook up with Robin instead of me." said Charles.

"Charles we've been through this before.  I'm marrying you not Robin!" said Cassie.

"That's relief! said Charles as he kiss Cassie.

"Wow someone been drinking pina colada on the rocks." laughed Charles.

"Hey I need to live alittle." said Cassie.

"Well I like the taste of that." said Charles.

"Whoa hold on romeo!  Our Grandparents is still in the bedroom." said Cassie.

"Oh come on beautiful they can't hear us." said Charles.

"OH YES HE CAN!!!" yelled Colman from the bedroom.

"Damn your grandpa is going to be a cockblocker while he's here.  That's sucks." whined Charles.

"Shhh!!! Watch your mouth!  Once Grandpa Bradshaw free your mother we will have all the Chassie time we can get." said Cassie.

"I like the sound of that." said Charles.

"So tell me how was your evening with your dad?" asked Cassie.

batman642

Cassie saw a gleam in Charles’ eye as he thought about his night on the town with Wes at the Hula show.

“Chaaaaaaaaaarles……what were you all up to?” she asked, her eyes narrowing.with suspicion.

Amused, he looked her in the eye as he rested his hands on her shoulders.

“I don’t know what you mean, Beautiful,” he replied, smirking.

“I know that look, Charles…….” she warned as his eyes continued to gleam.

“Is that so?” he chuckled.

“YES!” she insisted.

“Cassie----are you JEALOUS?” he teased.

“Should I be???”

He pulled her close to him, closing his eyes as he ran his fingers through her hair enjoying the fragrance.

“No, Cassie,” he assured her. “We’ve been through this before,” he said, using her own words against her.

She relaxed in his arms as he held her, too tired to start an argument.

“Soooooooo……what did you guys do?” she asked.

“We just had a dinner at a supper club, Beautiful. No big deal. It was nice, though,” he admitted.

“What did you tell him about Mrs. A?” she asked.

“Funny, but Mom never came up in our conversation after we left you in the elevator,” Charles admitted.

“Hmm….“ she replied deep in thought. “Well, I made sure to let Grandpa and Grandma know that Mr. B doesn’t know about your Mom’s money.”

“Cool. At least we’re on the same page where that’s concerned,” Charles replied.

“I wonder how your Mom’s doing, Charles…..” Cassie worried quietly.

“I don’t even want to think about it, Cassie,” he said sadly.
Candygwen

"Right now I want to spend the rest of the evening with you beautiful." said Charles.

"That's the best idea you have yet." said Cassie.

"Come here your gramps is probably fast asleep now we can finally fool around." said Charles.

"Ooooh Charles you are so nasty." laughed Cassie.

Moments later the two begin to kiss and makeout but out of nowhere Judge Bradshaw grabbed Charles by the collar.

"I told you about calling me graps boy!" said Coleman.

"Gramps..I ean Judge Bradshaw how long have you been watching?" shocked Charles.

"Long enough that it's way past your bedtime.  Come on as I told you before you and I are sharing a room." said Bradshaw as he push Charles.

"Night Charles." said Cassie.

"Night Cassie." said Charles.

"Boy get your butt in this room." said Bradshaw as he push and kicked Charles in the butt in the bedroom.

Cassie laugh alittle the way her Grandfather push Charles around.  Meanwhile the next day on the Amtrak train Lulu woke up notices that Robin was gone.

"Hmm I wonder where my boo went off to." wondered Lulu.

Suddenly she saw Robin walking through the the aisle with a coule of orange juice in his hand.  He finally made it back to his seat.

"Morning sleeping head." said Robin.

"I take it you decided to keep my clothes on this time." said Lulu.

"I have to especially with her around." said Robin pointing Tawanna snoring.

"I can't wait to get back to the ship Boo.  This train is taking forever." said Lulu.

"Don't worry we'll be there in a couple more hours." said Robin.

"Thank God." said Lulu.

"Here I got us soemthing to drink." said Robin as he gave Lulu the orange juice.

"Oh thanks Robin you are so sweet." said Lulu as she and Robin kiss.

"Yeah thanks Robin." said Tawanna as she took Robin's orange juice and dranked it.

"Hey!" shocked Robin.

"Burp I needed that refreshment.  But why didn't you get anything to drink?" asked Tawanna.

"Because mmy drink just taken by a rude and obnoxioux hog." said Robin sarcasticly.

Then Lulu kicked him.

"Owww" yelled Robin.

"Pay him no mind girl." said Lulu.

"I won't because I don't have enough cash to fill his brain." laughed Tawanna.

"Very funny!" said Robin.

"Are we there yet?" asked Tawanna.

"We're be here in a couple more hours." said Lulu.

batman642

Robin’s cell phone rang.

“It’s my mom,” he said as he looked at the ID.

“Aw……..mommy gotta call her baby boy…..” Tawanna teased.

Robin shot her an angry look as he took the call.

“Hey Mom. Good morning.”

Good morning, Robin,” Monica said sounding sad.

“I know, I know……I didn’t call……..sorry,” he began apologizing.

Monica burst into tears over the phone.

“Mom! I said I’m sorry…..” Robin repeated, caught off guard by her outburst.

“That’s not why I’m crying!” she explained between sobs.

“Well what’s wrong then?” he asked.

Monica didn’t answer.

“Please stop crying, Mom,” Robin begged.

“What’s wrong with you r Mom?” Lulu asked as she and Tawanna overheard the conversation.

“That’s what I’m trying to find out!” Robin told her. “Mom? Mom???”
Candygwen

"Mom will you please calm down and tell what is going on!!!" begged Robin.

"I 'm just horrible parent.  I just don't know what I have done wrong." cried Monica.

"Mom you're speaking in riddles.  Why on earth do you think you are a horrible parent?" asked Robin.

"It's Devin!" said Monica.

"What did he do this time?" asked Robin.

"I'm about to ring that boy 's neck!  Yesterday  Eddie, Jennn, and Lizzie came over and told me that Devin had a fight Andrew." said Monica.

"Andrew? Why would he fight with Andrew for?" asked Robin.

"Well it's started with Devin stop by to talk with Lizzie and he saw Andrew coming by so Andrew went over and kiss Lizzie right in front of him.  Lizzie tried to fight him off but Andrew pull him off to stop and that's how the fight started." said Monica.

"Oh no he didn't!" said Robin as he thought about how Devin was acting crazy that time when they were all at the outreach program.

"It's gets worst!  The fight got so out of hand that Devin pushed Andrew down and hit Andrew hit his head on the concrete.  Andrew is now in the hospital." said Monica.

"OMG IS HE ALRIGHT!!!" shocked Robin.

"He's fine!  He just suffer a minor concussion.  I just don't believe Devin would do that." upset Monica.

"It's gets even worst!  When I sent Devin up to his room I saw his girlfriend Kendra coming out of the bathroom drunk.  She has beer in purse.  I was getting ready to drive her home but that little helfa went ino my cabinet and stole a bottle of scotch and snuck out the window.  I'm just furious right now." said Monica.

"Did you talk to Devin about this?" asked Robin.

"No but I know he has something to do with it.  I don't know Robin.  I think I have made a horrible mistake by taking Devin in.  I've thinking about calling Eddie so they can put him in a proper foster care." said Monica.

"First of mom calm down!  Did you see Devin drank with Kendra?" asked Robin.

"No but Kendra was drunk Robin.  It's a possibility that Devin was drinking with her and he's been around her for awhile doing God knows what." said Monica.

"Look I know Devin gots some issues but I don't think he would go this far by disrespecting your place by drinking beer.  Anyway I think Tay once told me about Kendra drinking habit." said Robin.

"Tay told you and you didn't tell me?" shocked Monica.

"I didn't think it was that serious.  And neither does Devin.  And as far as the scotch incident I know Devin had nothing to do with that." said Robin.

"How would you know?  You weren't even there." said Monica.

"Mom you sent Devin to his room. THank!!!  How would he known about the scotch?  I donidn't even know you had it." said RObin.

"Alright alright!  I'll let the alcohol incident slide but what about this whole Lizzie and Andrew thing?" asked Monica.

"I had this talked with Devin before I don't think he';s over Lizzie and he's having problem letting go and moving on." said Robin.

"But I thought he liked Kendra?" confused Monica.

"I hate to say this but I get the feeling that Devin got Kendra on the rebound. Look you are a wonderful mother you can get through to Devin.  I think you just need to talk to him about this ut you have to be cool with it but at the same time you have to let him know that is not acceptable when Mrs. Sutton had that talke with me about huh well you know." said Robin as he saw Lulu and Tawanna starring at him not wanting to give the whole details." said Robin.

"I guess you're right." said Monica.

"Don';t give up on Devin.  He's dumb he don't know no better." said Robin.

"Alright I'll go and talk to the boy." said Monica.

“I love you, Mom,” Robin said, trying to make her feel better.

“Thanks, honey. I really needed to hear that,” she told him.

“We’re almost at our destination, by the way,” he told her.

“I’m glad to hear that. Give Lulu my love, and keep me posted,” she told him.

“I will and you too, Mom. Keep me posted, alright?”

“I will,” she promised.

When they ended the conversation, Lulu and Tawanna were anxiously awaiting what Robin had to say.

After he told them the situation, Lulu felt bad. “Poor Lizzie…..” she sighed.

“Yeah, Shorty’s always got guys fighting over her,” Robin agreed.

Tawanna sucked her teeth. “AND??? Ain’t nothin wrong with THAT! Sounds to me like little Lizzie got it goin on!” she remarked.

Lulu rolled her eyes. “Tawanna, you don’t understand. Lizzie is a very SENSITIVE kid. She’s emotionally fragile. She’s always in the center of some kind of drama and at some point she’s gonna break!”

“Uh huh……..so lemme guess---you two are gonna save her! Is that it?” she asked sarcastically.

“No, T, we’re not the saviors of the world! But I’m her friend and I feel for her is all. Is that so hard to understand?” Lulu asked getting annoyed.

“I don’t think I like you tellin me what I do and don’t understand. UNDERSTAND???” Tawanna sneered as she got up from her seat and left, insulted.

“Don’t go away mad,” Robin muttered sarcastically. “JUST GO AWAY.”

Aggravated with Tawanna, Lulu shook her head. “Boo, I’m calling Lizzie,” she decided.
Candygwen

"Good idea Lulu!" said Robin.

"I the meantime you should try reasoning with Tawanna." said Lulu.

"Shoot that's your girl you go talk to her." said Robin.

"Come on Robin, I know T at times be pushing the wrong buttons but she is still our friend.  We just got to make her understand where is Lizzie is coming from." said Lulu.

"Lulu you can slap her with a dictionary and she still won't understand." said Robin.

"Not funny Boo!" said Lulu.

"Look Tawanna is just PO right now!  She'll be back once she cooled off.  Once she return then we talk." said Robin.

"Shhh the phone is ringing." said Lulu.

Meanwhile back at the Sutton Household Lizzie woke up and heard the phone ringing.  She saw Lulu number on the id and answer it.

"Hi Lulu!" said Lizzie.

"Hey girl sorry to get you up this early." said Lulu.

"That's okay I'm glad you called.  Is Robin there?" asked Lizzie.

"Well nice to hear from you too." said Lulu sarcasticly.

"Sorry it's great hearing from you too.  Have you g
