"I slept perfectly.' said Lulu thinking about last night.
"Oh good!" said Monica.
"A little too perfect." muttered Lulu.
"I begged your pardoned?" asked Monica.
"Oh nothing." said Lulu.
"So have you talk to you folks lately?" asked Monica.
"Not lately. I haven't even told them about my engagement." said Lulu.
"Lulu you have to tell them." said Monica.
"I don't think they will approved." said Lulu.
"You know sooner or later you have to tell them." said Monica.
"I'll think about. I just want to enjoy my moment." said Lulu as she drank her coffee.
"Just don't keep putting it off. The more you put it off the more things gets complicated." said Monica.
"Will see! What time we suppose to be at the Suttons?" asked Lulu.

“The Suttons are like family, Lulu. We can go anytime and be welcomed,” Monica replied.
“Yeah what was I thinking?
“I’ve still gotta make the gravy and shower, but after that I’ll be ready to go. How about you and Robin? Are you two gonna wait for me or go ahead?” Monica asked.
“I guess we should go on our own. That way if you wanna leave before we do, there won’t be a transportation problem,” Lulu decided.
“You’re a smart girl, Lulu,” Monica grinned.
Lulu watched TV while Monica made the gravy. Robin and Devin were showered and dressed by the time the gravy was finished and came downstairs.
“We’re ready to go!” Robin announced as he came sprinting down the stairs with Devin close behind.
Lulu tried not to give Devin the evil eye but failed.
“Is there a problem?” Robin asked, clueless.
“Is Devin going with us?” Lulu asked.
“Dude, you coming with us or what?” Robin asked.
Before Devin could answer, Monica came out of the kitchen.
“The gravy’s done and now I’m headed for the shower guys,” she said. “Devin are you waiting for me or going with Rob and Lulu?”
“I’ll wait for you,” Devin told Monica as Lulu glared at him.
“Yeah, three’s a crowd,” Lulu remarked.
“Don’t be rude, Lulu!” Robin said, surprised at her.
“Oh Robin, she’s not being rude!” Monica said, saving the day. “She just wants to be alone with you is all. Right Lulu?” Monica asked with a little wink.
“Yes, Miss Monica,” Lulu agreed, relieved.
“Oh. My bad,” Robin apologized as he gave Lulu a peck on the lips.
“You two are SO cute….” Monica gushed as she went upstairs. “I’ll be as fast as I can Devin!”
“Okay, we’re outta here guy. See you there!“ Robin told Devin as he escorted Lulu out of the front door.
“Later,” Devin said as he watched the couple walk to the car, all the while picturing Lulu nude.
Minutes later, Robin and Lulu were on the Sutton’s porch ringing the doorbell.

Lizzie ansered and opened the door.
"Robin, Lulu wow you two came...early." giggled Lizzie.
"We didn't want to be late." laughed Lulu.
"Happy Thanksgiving Shorty. You look really nice." said Robin.
"You really like it Robin?" asked Lizzie.
"Of course When Andrew sees you in this outfit he'll go nuts." said Robin.
"I don't think Andrew is coming." said Lizzie.
"Why not?" asked Lulu.
"Well it is Thanksgiving and Andrew does has a family of his own. But he gave me a handmade bracelete look." said Lizzie.
"Wow it's beautiful...Robin how come you never made a bracelet?" asked Lulu.
"Because I rather spend it not buy it." Robin joked.
"Gurl you better hold on to Andrew looks like he's a keeper." said Lulu.
"Thanks come on in Cassie is upstairs you can go and check on her and Robin the guys are in the livingroom watching the game." said Lizzie.
"Is Nate in there too?" asked Robin.
"Yes." said Lizzie.
"Then I go check on Cassie." said Robin.
"Robin, Cassie is still getting dress. She wants to look go for Chuck! Anyway if you don't be around Nate you can hang my computer is in the den we can both Dragon's Lair with me." said Lizzie.
"Thanks but you better tell your folks we're here." said Robin.
"No need Robin." said Jenn coming from the kitchen.
batman642
“Mrs. Sutton! You look……..RAVISHING,” Robin said, flattering her.
Jenn rolled her eyes like a teenybopper. “In an apron? Aw……..thanks!” she gushed.
He reached out and stepped towards Jenn to give her a hug. “It’s so good to see you,” he told her.
“You’re pouring it on kind of thick, Robin, considering we just saw each other two days ago,” Jenn reminded him.
Robin’s ears turned a little red.
“How ya doin, Lulu?” Jenn asked.
“Hi Mrs. Sutton!” Lulu said with a quick wave and smile. “I’m gonna go up to Cassie’s room okay?”
“Be my guest,” Jenn said. “Robin are you sure you won’t join the fellas in the living room?” she asked.
“No, maybe later, Mrs. Sutton,” he replied.
“Well in that case, I’d like you to come into the kitchen with me. I need to speak with you----privately,” Jenn informed him.
Lulu and Lizzie looked puzzled as they went upstairs to Cassie’s room.
“Oh………(gulp)…okay,” Robin agreed hesitantly as he followed Jenn into the kitchen.
Candygwen
Meanwhile Lizzie and Lulu went upstairs to Cassie room.
"Umm I've better knocked. You know annoyed she gets when we barged in." said Lulu.
"That's the fun part. I love to tortured my sister. It's my job." said Lizzie as she barged in.
"Jesus Christ LIZZIE!!! DO YOU & TAY HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST KNOCKING?" snapped Cassie.
"No she just love to annoy you." laughed Lulu coming in.
"Oh Lulu thank God you came. Where's Robin?" asked Cassie.
"He's downstair in the kitchen with your mother." said Lulu.
"Mom probably want him to be the food taster and make sure dad didn't cook anything." said clueless Lizzie.
"Poor Robin!" said Cassie.
"Wh can't anyone give your dad cooking lessons?" asked Lulu.
"Because my dad really believes he can cook." said Cassie.
"Yeah it's a good Cassie and I helped and cook while mom was sick." said Lizzie.
"Cassie it's almost 2pm how come you still not dress?" asked Lulu.
"Because I haven't found the perfect outfit to wear for Thanksgiving." said Cassie.
"You mean Charles." said Lizzie.
"Stay out of this Lizzie." said Cassie.
"Why not wear the outfit you were when you in New York." said Lulu.
"You mean the outfit I design? I don't know." said Cassie.
"Cassie you have alot of clothes you designs." said Lizzie.
"LIZZIE!!!" snapped Cassie.
"Hey pull out the clothes you designs and Lizzie and I will picked out the dress for you." said Lulu.
"You two would do that?" asked Cassie.
"Yeah because you are taking all day." said Lizzie sarcasticly..
"You should talk!!! You tying up the bathroom to wear make up to look good for Andrew. And you know how mom feels about you wearing make up." said Cassie.
"Girls lets not fight. Lizzie lets hook Cassie up so she can look good fo her man." said Lulu.
"Sure thing." said Lizzie.
So Cassie pulled out all the outfits she designed so she can try them on.

Downstairs in the kitchen, Robin and Jenn sat across from each other at the table.
Robin nervously cleared his throat. “Cassie says you really liked the gift I sent you.”
“It was lovely. Thank you, Robin,” Jenn replied graciously.
“I’m so glad you’re back to your normal self again. We were all so worried about you.”
Jenn smiled. “That’s very kind of you Robin.”
There was an awkward silence.
“May I have some water, Mrs. Sutton?” he asked as his mouth got drier and drier from nervousness.
“Forgive me for not offering you anything to drink,” Jenn apologized as she got up and poured him some cold water.
He gulped it down like a camel.
“Aaaaaaaah……” he sighed, refreshed.
“You and I need to talk about……..things,” Jenn began slowly.
Robin’s heart started to pound and he hoped Jenn couldn’t hear it from across the table.
“I guess by that you mean Cassie, and me and……what happened between us in San Diego?” he replied quietly, trying not to make eye contact with her.
“Yes, Robin. I realize this is a very delicate subject, and believe me, this isn’t easy for me EITHER but I want us to come to a mutual understanding about boundaries between you and Cassie. Do you think that’s possible?”
Robin nodded. “Yes sir. I---I mean----yes MA’AM!” he said nervously.
Jenn couldn’t help being slightly amused. “Oh, and by the way, Robin, Mr. Sutton doesn’t know about Cassie was pregnant with your child and miscarried. If he did, you wouldn’t be sitting here alive and well today.”
“Yes Ma’am,” he said very quietly.
“You must understand, Robin, that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are you and my daughter to ever have a sexual relationship again. At least not if the two of you are in separate relationship---which you are. I didn’t raise Cassie to jump in and out of bed with every Tom, Dick and Harry she meets. It’s bad enough that she slept with Charles, got pregnant and had twins! It seems like EVENTUALLY they’ll marry--thank God--but still, in my day first comes love, then comes marriage, THEN comes my daughter with the baby carriage. It didn’t happen that way for her, so I have to accept things the way they are. But I don’t have to accept her sneaking behind Charles’ back and laying up in bed with you or anyone else! That’s so wrong of her to do! And to top it off, getting PREGNANT and lying and telling everyone she had fibroid tumors! Cassie doesn’t know til this day how DEVASTATED she’s made me with some of her choices. I’ve tried to put on a brave face and be strong for her and supportive, Robin. But I’m telling you that a part of me has died inside because of that girl! Now, I’d like to hear from you, young man----JUST WHAT WERE YOU THINKING when you took my daughter into your bed, WITHOUT PROTECTION, knowing that she already has TWO children by another man and her whole life ahead of her??? How could you be so selfish, Robin? Just tell me that----please!” Jenn insisted.
Just as Robin started to respond, Tay came into the kitchen.
“Mom---we need more pretzels out there!”
As Jenn got up from the table and went over to the pantry, Tay noticed Robin.
“Oh! Robin! I didn’t know you were in here, man! How come you’re not in there with us watching the game?” Tay asked.
“I’ll be there in a minute, Tay,” Robin said quietly as he sat in deep thought.
“Hurry up!” Tay advised as Jenn threw him a bag of pretzels.
“I’m talking with Robin Tay---do you mind?” Jenn asked.
“Sorry! Thanks for the pretzels!” he said as he ran out of the kitchen.
Jenn sat back down across from Robin and looked him straight in the eye.
“So you were saying?” she asked as she waited for him to answer her question.
Candygwen
"Well I umm...just don't know where to begin." said Robin lost for words.
"How about the truth." said Jenn.
"I'm going tell you but what are going to hear you may not like." said Robin.
"Robin I have heard worst so out with it." said Jenn.
"Alright but if I was going to know this would go this far I would never had done it. I really didn't want to sleep with Cassie." said Robin.
"Why do I find that hard to believe?" asked Jenn.
"I meant I didn't want to sleep with her because I wanted her to concentrate on Charles. I really do love Cassie and I wanted her to concentrate on Charles for the children. Everytime we are alone together we start get to be too close and I start to get uncomfortable about that and I kept thinking about the cruise vacation. During that time Cassie was have relationship problems with Charles (No surprise)." said Robin.
"So you trying to say is you still have feelings for my daughter?" asked Jenn.
"I guess so." said Robin.
"What do you mean you guess..Yes or no?" asked Jenn.
"I don't know maybe a part of me still have feelings but I do know I didn't trust myself alone with her so I didn't any choice but to stay at a hotel. I didn't invite her or seduce her. It was they only way she can concentrate on Charles and we can still remain as friends. Later that night while I was sleeping out of nowhere Cassie came to my room and she wanted to sleep with me. I tried to get rid of her but inner feelings got the better of me and well the rest is history." said Robin.
"Oh my God!" sigh Jenn.
"She wanted it to keep it secret but when she got pregnant she just have to be honest. I'm really sorry Mrs. Sutton. I never meant none of this to happen. What was I suppose to do? We was in a passionate siuation here." said Robin.
"Robin do you hear yourself right now? What was you suppose to do? Have you ever thought about using a protection? Better yet how about getting Cassie a room for the night instead of sleeping with you?" upset Jenn.
"I guess I never thought about that." said Robin.
"You damn right! That's your whole problem you didn't think. I'm really disappointed in you both." said Jenn.
"I know and I'm really sorry Mrs. Sutton." said Robin.
"I know you are sorry Robin and I appreciate your honesty but we still have one big problem how will I know I can ever trust you again?" asked Jenn.
"My mom forgave me." said Robin.
"Robin she's your mother! I'm Cassie's mom. This is the second time that has happened only this time Cassie almost became a mother with a third child. How will I know this won't happen again Robin? concerned Jenn.
"Because I'm engaged with Lulu and Cassie officially engaged with Charles. I think she is really serious about marrying Charles this time. Plus we have both talked on the videophone when I was away at Sea School. She's really serious about Charles this time. And I want her to be happy that's all I want." said Robin.
"And what about Lulu?" asked Jenn.
"If I didn't love Lulu I wouldn't be engaged." said Robin.
"Alright I'll take your word for it...for now. But if you and Cassie still have feelings for another then it's time for both of you to stop hiding and being honest with everyone including Charles and Lulu. Don't you ever do something that foolish again you hear. Because if you do, don't worry about Mr.Sutton, Charles, or Nate going after you. I will deal with you personally myself and only this time I won't be this kind." said Jenn.
"Yes ma'am! Does this mean you forgive me?" said Robin as he slightly grin.
batman642
“Robin, I have no choice BUT to forgive you. That’s what the good book says. But just because I forgive you, doesn’t mean I will EVER forget what you did. I NEVER WILL FORGET. Do you understand me?” she asked.
He nodded as the grin disappeared from his face.
Just then, the doorbell rang and Jenn glanced out of the window.
“It’s Charles,” she said as she went to answer the door, leaving Robin in the kitchen.
Candygwen
Jenn opened the door.
"Charles how are you?" said Jenn delighted.
"I'm fine Mrs. Sutton. I made some grilled cheese. That's all I can cook." said Charles.
"Charles you didn't have to do that but thanks. The guys are in the livingroom watching televison and Cassie is upstairs with the girls." said Jenn.
"Must be girl talk I'll wait." said Charles.
"Nonsense Charles! I'm sure Cassie will be more than happy to see you." said Jenn.
"Cool thanks!" said Charles.
So Charles went upstairs to see Cassie.
Meanwhile Cassie was still trying to pick out her dress to wear for Thanksgiving dinner.
"How does this look?" asked Cassie.
batman642
“Fierce, girl!” Lulu exclaimed.
“That’s definitely the one, sis,” Lizzie agreed.
Cassie looked at both of them suspiciously.
“That’s the SAME thing you said about the last three dresses!” she accused.
“Well Cassie, it’s just that ALL of them are so nice!” Lulu tried to explain.
“Lulu, don’t you remember how you went crazy trying to find the PERFECT outfit for your first date with Robin?” Cassie asked.
“Yeeeeeeeeess…..but I don’t get the point, Cassie. Cuz this SURE isn’t your first date with Charles!” Lulu laughed.
“I KNOW!!! But still…….”
“I think it’s so ROMANTIC that two kids later she STILL obsesses over looking good for Chuck….” Lizzie swooned.
Just then there was a knock on the door.
“I can’t believe someone actually knocks around here!” Cassie remarked, impressed.
“Who goes there?” Lizzie shouted.
“It’s me!”
“CHARLES????!!!” Cassie panicked.
Charles laughed at the sound of her voice. “Yes! You were expecting me weren’t you?” he asked, amused.
“I’m not ready yet, Charles! Go back downstairs!” she ordered him.
“Cassie you look beautiful!” Lulu assured her. “Let him in!”
Cassie looked doubtful as she checked herself out in the mirror.
“Cassie? You gonna let me in?” he asked.
Lulu and Lizzie both nodded at Cassie, trying to convince her she made the right choice. Still uncertain, she opened the door anyway.
“Hi Charles,” she greeted him.
“Wow!!! You look …….” Charles was searching for the right word.
“See? I KNEW this was the wrong oufit!” Cassie complained.
“What? Wrong outfit? No, Cassie, it’s the PERFECT outfit,” he assured her as he pulled her close to him and held her.
“Really?” she asked as she melted in his arms.
“You look …………beautifulicious!!” he blurted out.
“Dang, girl…….” Lulu swooned. “He makes up words for you? My Boo owes me a bracelet and a word!”
“Let’s go down and tell Robin!” Lizzie suggested. “Chassie wants to be alone anyway, don’t you?”
Cassie giggled. “Thanks Lizzie! I owe you one!”
“Yeah,” Charles agreed. “Thanks!”
Lulu and Lizzie left the couple alone and went to find Robin.
Candygwen
Meanwhile Robin was still sitting in the room alone and quiet thinking about what Jenn has said to him. Soon Lulu and Lizzie came downstairs.
"Wow thank God Charles came when he did we would have been in that room forever helping Cassie find a dress." said Lizzie.
""Boo what are you doing sitting here all by yourself?" asked Lulu.
Robin just sat there alone in a daze.
"Robin...Boo....earth to Robin!" said Lulu as she snapped her finger in front of him.
"Oh hey girls how everything go with Cassie?" asked Robin.
"Fine thanks to Chuck." said Lizzie.
"Charles here?" asked Robin.
"Yeah didn't you hear the doorbell?" asked Lulu.
"Oh yeah sure. My mind is on something else." said Robin.
"Is everything alright Boo?" asked Lulu.
"Oh yeah I'm good." said Robin.
"What did mom want?" asked Lizzie.
"Oh nothing she just wanted to thank me personally for the get well gift." said Robin as told half the truth.
"Oh good mom is really cool." said Lizzie.
"Yeah I wish my mom is like that." said Lulu.
"Come on lets go in the den." said Lizzie.
"For what?" asked Lizzie.
"To play Dragon's Lair remmeber?" asked Lizzie.
"Oh yeah." said Robin.
"Are you sure you okay?" worried Lizzie.
"Shorty I'm fine." said Robin.
"I am so glad you're here I got to show you Lincoln Heights Outreach program where Andrew and I work. You'll love it." said Lizzie.
"I can hardly wait." said Robin.
Meanwhile back at Marla's house Dana took the turkey out the deepfryer and took it in the house until the doorbell rang. It was Giselle.
batman642
“MARLA GET THE DOOR!!!! I’M BUSY WITH THE TURKEY!!!” Dana screamed from the kitchen.
“WELL I’M BUSY GETTING DRESSED!!!: Marla screamed back from upstairs.
“Lord……give me strength to deal with this white woman ----NO-----TWO WHITE WOMEN----on this Thanksgiving Day…..PLEEEEAASE!!!” Dana prayed out loud as she looked up at the ceiling.
Then she took a deep breath and stormed out of the kitchen to answer the door.
She flung it opened, startling Giselle who was just about to ring the bell again.
“Hey! Come on in!” Dana greeted her, irritated.
“Hi! Dana right?” Giselle asked.
“How nice of you to remember,” Dana said sarcastically. “Have a seat,” she said as she led her to the living room.
“Thanks. Is Chuckie here yet?” Giselle inquired.
“Uh……….no…….no, not yet,” Dana stalled. “His mom will be right down though. I’ve gotta go back in the kitchen, but make yourself at home. Watch some TV,” Dana suggested, handing Giselle the remote control.
“Okay!” Giselle agreed.
On her way back to the kitchen, Dana stopped at the foot of the staircase. “MARLA!!!! GISELLE IS HERE!!!!” she screamed.
No response.
“MARLA!!!!!!!!!” she screamed even louder.
Marla stormed out of her bedroom towards the staircase.
“WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP YELLING THROUGH THE HOUSE???!!!! I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME!!! I’LL BE DOWN IN A MINUTE!!!!” she screamed back.
Dana sucked her teeth. Muttering and cursing under her breath, she went back to the turkey.
Candygwen
Meanwhile back at the Sutton Household the Sutton Men was enjoying the game until halftime came. It gave plenty of time to make the gravy.
"Wow this gives me perfect time to make my special gravy heh heh." said Eddie.
"Great I just lost my appetite." said Tay.
"Oh come on Tay you know you enjoy my gravy. Come on I'll let you be the first food taster." said Eddie.
"No way I pass." said Tay.
"Alright I'm sure Lizzie will like it." said Eddie.
"Oh that reminds me Robin's here." said Tay.
"Oh great I Thanksgiving has just got better." said Eddie.
"I'll go to den." said Nate.
Meanwhile Robin and Lizzie was playing video games. Robin was showing Lizzie the tricks of playing Dragon's Lair. Lizzie was learning quick and catching up to Robin's score.
(Check out link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQxqvhWt6cU&feature=related)
"So Robin when are going to play Dragon's Lair 2?" asked Lizzie.
"When you become a pro at the first which you are not." said Robin trash talkin'.
"Oh yeah I'm a quick and soon I gonna beat like I did in basketball." said Lizzie.
"You wish." laughed Robin.
"Hey you taught me everything you know about this game." said Lizzie.
"Almost everything Lizzie. Remember I'm still the video game master." said Robin.
"Not for long." said Lizzie.
Soon Lizzie's score was catching up to Robin and they both got to the final level. Lizzie was tied up with Robin.
"Oh Robin you may as well get the next game ready beecause you are toast." said Lizzie.
"Oh yeah." said Robin.
Suddenly Robin started tickling Lizzie's side. Lizzie shriek. And lost the game.
"Robin I'm gonna get you for this." laughed Lizzie.
The two started play fighting and Robin got the upperhand tickling Lizzie. Robin picked up Lizzie.
"Robin put me down." Lizzie laughed.
Suddenly Nate walked in and saw what was going on. He didn't like what he saw.
"Hey put her down NOW!!!" he warned.
Robin quickly put Lizzie down.
"Hey Nate...whatsup." confused Robin.
"Don't whatsup me!?! What are you doing tickling and picking my sister like that?" asked Nate.
"Nate chill we were just clowning around." said Lizzie.
"Well playtime over." said Nate.
"I'm better check on Lulu." said Robin.
"Yeah you do that." snapped Nate.
"Nate what is with you? Robin didn't do anything wrong." said Lizzie.
"Well maybe he need to know that he's pratcially grown and just a kid. There are cetain cannot do." snapped Nate.
"Nate we werejust playing. He's like my big brother." said Lizzie.
"Well newsflash Lizzie I'm your big brother not him." said Nate.
"Look you maybe my big brother but Robin always been there for me and he's the only one who actually understands me. Before you start judging Robin you need to get your facts straight. And in case you haven't realize it I'm not a little kid anymore." said Lizzie walking away from Nate.
"Lizzie wait I'm sorry." said Nate.
But Lizzie didn't hear Nate and she continued to walk.
batman642
The doorbell rang again as Lizzie was walking away so she answered it.
"Miss Monica! Devin! KENDRA???"
"Surprise!" Kendra laughed. "How's my girl Lizzie doin?"
Lizzie smiled, a bit surprised "Fine!"
"May we come in?" Monica hinted.
"OH!!! I'm SO sorry---come in, come in," Lizzie said as she opened the door wider and stepped back for them to enter.
Monica kissed her on the cheek. "No need to apologize."
"Long time no see, Lizard," Devin said patting her on the shoulder as he entered.
"Lizzie!!!" Kendra exclaimed happily as she hugged her friend. "I've missed you, girl........for real!"
"Me too," Lizzie replied a little less excited.
"I hope it's okay that I came---I don't have to eat if you don't have enough but I didn't want to be by myself and me and Devin are together now so that's why I came with him and Miss Monica," Kendra started to explain.
"We have enough, don't worry!" Lizzie said trying to put her at ease.
Jenn came and welcomed them and showed Devin where the rest of the guys were and he went in and joined them.
"Lizzie told me to make gravy, Jenn," Monica said handing her the container.
Jenn laughed. "Lizzie, don't you think your father will be insulted?"
"He'll get over it," Lizzie replied as she and Kendra went upstairs to her room.
"Come in the kitchen with me, Monica," Jenn invited her.
When they got into the kitchen, Monica inquired about Robin and Lulu.
"They're here somewhere," Jenn replied. "I had a nice talk with Robin as soon as he got here."
"About...........the situation?" Monica whispered.
Jenn nodded as she poured the gravy into a gravy boat.
"How did Robin take it?" Monica asked.
Candygwen
"Well he was a bit quiet after we talked but other than that I think he took it quite well. I was deeply honest and I told him how I felt and he listen. I told him I forgive him and I'm willing to put this behind us but this can't never happened again." said Jenn.
"That's good to hear." said Monica.
"I also told him I will never forget what he did. I love Robin but it will take me alittle time for me to fully trust him again." said Jenn.
"I understand Jenn." said Monica.
"I just hope I wasn't to harsh on him. I part of me feel terrible." said Jenn.
"Don't be Jenn! Robin needed to hear that. Robin needs to realize what he did was wrong even if Cassie planned it. Now maybe after that talk he'll finally get his priority straight and be a better person for it thanks to you." said Monica.
Meanwhile halftime was over everyone ran back to the livingroom and watched the game while Robin found Lulu in the kitchen.
"I figured I find you in the kitchen." said Robin.
"Hey Boo so how's everything with the video game?" asked Lulu.
"Fine until Nate ruined the moment." said Robin.
"What happened?" asked Lulu.
"Nate saw me and Lizzie playfighting and he accused me being a pervert." said Robin as he felt insulted.
"Oh no I'm sure he didn't meant no harm. You have realize that they have a big brother now. He was probably just being a typical overprotective brother." said Lulu.
"But I would never hurt Lizzie." said Robin.
"I know Boo but I think Nate is trying to adjust his role into big brother. He might be alittle jealous because of you and Lizzie friendship." said Lulu.
"Maybe but I get the feeling that dude have it in for me." said Robin.
"No he don't." said Lulu.
"Well to be on the safe I just have to keep my distance from around him. I don't want that fool attacking me. I rather deal with Charles than to put up with him." said Robin.
"Robin I think you're be silly." said Lulu.
"Lulu the man just got back from a dangerous war there's no telling what type stuff that is going on in his head." said Robin.
"I think we should him a break and give him the benefit of the doubt. Remmeber this is new to him. Give him time to adjust. I wonder what keeping Charles and Cassie so long?" wondered Lulu.
Meanwhile Charles and Cassie was still in the room making out.
batman642
Robin looked at Lulu like she was crazy. "What's keeping them so long? Use your imagination," he told her with a smirk on his face.
"Ohhhh......." Lulu said as the imaginery lightbulb in her head came on.
Upstairs, Cassie's dress was wrinkled and her hair was a mess as Charles practically devoured her like an animal.
"Enough all ready, Charles!" she said out of breath, pushing him away. "Look at me!" she complained.
Charles licked his lips as he looked her up and down. "You look SO SEXY, Cassie----I swear..." he grinned, pulling her towards him once again.
"You've gotta get out of here NOW, Charles," she told him.
"Five more minutes," he said pushing her back down onto the bed. "I told you last night I miss us," he reminded her.
"I know, but---" she tried to object.
"Shhh...." he interrupted her, covering her mouth with his own.
He kissed her so deeply her lips were beginning to get numb, and her body was aching for much more.
"I can't take this...." she moaned, trying to get out from under him.
"Yes you can," he whispered in her ear, not letting her go.
"Charles..." she whimpered, her resolve weakening by the second.
"Cassie...." he sighed as his body began to tremble with desire.
Cassie could hardly catch her breath. "Please....... let me up......... before we go........ too far...... Charles."
He knew she was right and that if they went any further there would be no turning back.
"Okay.........okay......." he agreed as he rolled off of her onto his back and tried to calm down.
While he laid there looking up at the ceiling, exhausted, Cassie quickly got up and stepped out of her dress and put on another one. She looked in the mirror and tried to fix her hair as best she could.
"Well........this will just have to do..." she decided.
She looked back at him still on the bed motionless.
"Charles?"
"Huh?"
"Come on! Get up and get yourself together! We've gotta get down there before we get busted!" she said anxiously.
"You go ahead, Cassie. I'll be down in a minute," he told her.
"Oh alright! But hurry up!" she whispered as she quietly exited the bedroom and closed the door behind her.
Candygwen
Meanwhile back in the kitchen Jenn and Monica were trying to figure out what to do with Eddie's gravy.
"Why can't we just pour it into the sink?" asked Eddie.
"I don't want to hurt Eddie's feelings." said Jenn.
"Hey we just switch the gravy. Get rid of Eddie's gravy and pour it into his bowl that way no one feelings are hurt and we all won't get indigestion." said Monica.
"Great idea. But we still don't know what to do with Eddie's gravy." said Jenn.
Soon Nate came in.
"Hey we needs some more pretzels in the livingroom." said Nate.
"Sure I just need you to do us just one big favor." said Jenn.
"Sure anything." said Nate.
"Drink this gravy." said Jenn.
"What?!?!" confused Nate.
"I'll explain later just drink." said Jenn.
So Nate gulped down Eddie's gravy.
"Damn Dad must've made this. Food at the army taste better than this." said Nate as he continued to gupled it down.
After he gulp Eddie's gravy Nate got the pretzels and went back to the livingroom. Everyone was enjoying the game but Nate stomach started to hurt so he went to the bathroom.
"Whatsup with your brother he don't look too good?" asked Devin.
"I think he tasted Dad's gravy." said Tay.
"So Devin how long you've been seeing Kendra?" asked Tay.

(SORRY--i forgot to say thanks for the dragon's lair link batman642. thanks!)
"We started seeing each other right after the MJ Tribute," Devin said. "She's alot of fun."
Tay raised an eyebrow. "I bet," he replied.
"What about you? Seeing anybody?" Devin asked.
"I'm too busy with my music," Tay said.
"Hmm.....what a shame....." Devin said.
"It's cool. I love music----it's my passion," Tay said with a goofy grin on his face.
Devin looked at him strangely. "Yeah, well......whatever turns you on I guesss," he replied.
"I got to meet Trey Songz and yesterday I was working with him in his studio," Tay said smiling.
"That's cool. I bet you'll meet lotsa honeys hanging with him. After all, he invented sex, no?" Devin joked.
Tay laughed. "Word...." he agreed, nodding.
"So what about you and Reuben? You finished with him?" Devin asked.
"Reuben?" Eddie, who was half listening, repeated. "Did I hear you right, Devin? Did you say REUBEN?"
"Uh......yeah. That was the dude's name, right Tay?" Devin asked his friend, clueless about Reuben's past with Tay.
Tay had the 'deer in the headlights look' on his face as Eddie glared at him waiting for an answer.

(No problem and you're welcome.)
"Uh Ummm." Tay stuttered.
Soon Jenn interrupted.
"Eddie I just found out two sweetpotatoe pie isn't enough. I need to make another pie and I'm out of nutmeg. Can you run down the store and get me some?" asked Jenn.
"Anything for my sexy beautiful wife. Tay we'll finished this later." said Eddie as he left.
"So what's going with you and Rueben? Are you still working with him or what?" asked Devin.
"Well I suppose but I haven't gotten in touched with him since the MJ tribute plus I saw him the other day when I sangwith Trey at the studio. I still want to work with Rueben. But Jeron is away at private school." said Tay.
"Don't worry you'll something out. Just give him a call." said Devin.
"Thanks man it good seeing you again." said Tay.
"Yeah good to see you too. So tell me about this Andrew guy." said Devin put of curiousity.
batman642
"You mean Lizzie's Andrew?" Tay asked.
"LIZZIE'S Andrew? It's like THAT?" Devin asked feeling jealous already.
Tay shrugged. "They're almost as bad as Chassie---joined at the hip I mean. Everywhere one goes, the other goes."
"Is he down?" Devin asked.
"Down for what?" Tay asked.
"For whatever!" Devin snapped.
"Devin man I don't know! He ain't my man---ask Lizzie if you so interested!" Tay snapped back.
"Tay, I thought you was my boy, dawg...." Devin told him disappointed.
Tay was getting impatient. "Devin---I don't know much about him---okay? He's all into Lizzie is all I know. I don't hang with him. He seems to be a cool guy. My sister's happy and that's all that matters. If I were you, I'd worry more about Kendra and less about Andrew," Tay advised.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Devin, she might be showing you a good time and all, but homegirl is POISON. She's got some serious issues--first and foremost--booze. The very first time I laid eyes on Kendra she was drinking and got me drunk!"
"That's because you're naive, Tay. I know the deal," Devin replied.
"Look, forget you, man! Let's just watch the game!" Tay suggested angrily.
Meanwhile, after Eddie picked up the nutmeg he decided before going home to swing by Marla Antoni's house and wish her and Dana a quick Happy Thanksgiving.
Candygwen
Eddie arrived at door and rang it
"Giselle will you get that?" asked Marla.
"Sure thing Mrs. Antoni." said Giselle.
Giselle open the door and it was Eddie.
"Mr. Sutton!" shocked Giselle.
"GISELLE!!!" surprised Eddie.
"Giselle who's at the ...Eddie!!! Happy Thanksgiving." said Dana.
"Yeah same to you." said Eddie as he was surprise to see Giselle.
Soon Marla came downstairs fully dressed.
"Hey Eddie what brings you here. Charles isn't giving you any problems is he?" asked Marla.
"Oh no I just want to stop by t wish you two a Happy Thanksgiving. May I speak with you ladies in the kitchen alone?" asked Eddie.
"Sure thing Eddie." said Dana.
"Excuse us Giselle." said Eddie.
They all went to the kitchen to talk.
"What is she doing here?" asked Eddie.
"Well lets just say we decided to do our good deed for the day." said Marla.
"Did Charles put you up to this?" asked Eddie.
"Lets put it to you this way Eddie...yes. I don't know what goes through that boys mind sometime she invited this girl over for Thanksgivning without thinking." said Marla.
"Yeah he means well but Charles just don't think. Anyway he claims that he told Giselle that he is comitted to Cassie. Plus he also says Giselle's Uncle is out of town and she has no other releatives she can stay." said Dana.
"So that's why Charles invited her." said Eddie.
"Exactly!" said Marla.
Eddie thought about spotting Charles at the resturant with Giselle while talking with Tay and Trey Songz. Then Eddie came up with a plan.
"Hey about you ladies spending Thanksgiving with us?" asked Eddie.
"I don't that's a great idea Eddie." said Marla.
"Yeah anyway we already cooked the turkey." said Dana.
"Is that turkey deepfried? Hmm that's explain why the backyard looks burn down." said Eddie.
"Please I don't even want to talk about it." said Marla.
"Well you can bring that fried turkey with you. There's alot people over there. I'm sure Jenn don't mind." said Eddie.
"Are you sure about that Eddie?" wondered Dana.
"Of course Jenn doesn't have a problem with you anymore." said Eddie.
"And I want to keep it that way. I'm not going." said Dana.
"Nonsense no need for you ladies to be alone on the holiday." said Eddie.
"But what about Cassie?" asked Marla.
"Well I'm sure Charles wouldn't mind. If he comitted to Cassie like he saids then he shouldn't have a problem with Giselle." said Eddie.
Eddie decides to put Charles to the test to see if he is really faithful to Cassie.
"So what do you say? Want to come or not?"Eddie offered.
batman642
"Charles will never forgive me if I double cross him, Eddie," Marla told them both.
"How many times has Charles double-crossed you?" Eddie reminded her. "He's no angel, that's for sure!"
"Eddie's got a point, Marla. And if he gets mad........well.......eventuallly he'll just have to get glad! Your his mom, he can't write you off forever---not over something petty like this!" Dana assured her.
"Well that young lady IS expecting to be with Charles for dinner....." Marla said, trying to convince herself.
"Is that a yes then?" Eddie asked with his fingers crossed behind his back.
"Okay, I guess I'm outnumbered," Marla surrendered. "Let's head on over to the Suttons," she told Dana.
Marla went out to tell Giselle about the change in location while Eddie helped Dana pack up the turkey.
"This is gonna be fun, Eddie! I love Charles and all, but I like to see him sweat sometimes!" Dana laughed.
"You're bad, Dana," Eddie told her.
"Me???? This is YOUR idea, Eddie Sutton!" Dana accused him playfully.
"You ready?" he asked as he carried the turkey for her.
She turned the lights out in the kitchen.
"Yeah, let's go," she told him as they joined Marla and Giselle in the livingroom.
"Eddie, could you bring the turkey in your car? I don't want to mess up my seats," Marla told him as they headed out the door.
"Oh sure.....mess up MY car!" he kidded with her.
"Pleeeeaase........" Marla whined.
"I'm just messin with you Marla. I'll bring the bird and I'll meet the three of you over at my place," he said as he packed the turkey into his car.
"Thanks, Eddie," Marla replied. "I sure hope I don't live to regret this!" she worried.
"What do you mean?" Giselle asked as she walked along with them.
"Don't pay Marla any mind!" Dana interrupted quickly. "She worries about everything!"
"Oh," Giselle replied clueless as she got into Marla's car. "Nice whip!" she remarked as they drove off.
Candygwen
Meanwhile back at the Sutton household Tay went into the kitchen when's dinner.
"Mom when are we going to eat? I'm starved." whined Tay.
"As soon as your father bring the nutmeg so I can bake the pie." said Jenn.
"Mom you got two other pies in the kitchen." said Tay.
"There's also alot of people and no you cannot have either one so don't even think about it. The one I'm baking is sugarfree." said Jenn.
"Lucky me." muttered Tay.
"Where's Nate?" asked Jenn.
"Still in the bathroom." said Tay
"Wow that gravy must've did a job on him." said Monica.
Meanwhile Nate was sitting on the toliet with a bad case of direhea.
"Damn that gravy must've really did it. I never going to eat dad's cooking again." said Nate.
Later Tay returned to livingroom with Devin.
"Yo Devin man I didn't mean to go off on you earlier." said Tay.
"no it's me dawg. I'm the one who should apologize. I'm not mad at you. I just surprise Lizard actually found someone more interesting than me." said Devin.
"Hey I could care less about Lizzie's love life but I will say this she can't wait around forever. Her life does goes on." said Tay.
"I guess you're right." said Devin.
" Do you still have a thing for Lizzie?" asked Tay.
"Nah man I'm cool. Kendra is the one for me." said Devin in denial.
"You sure don't act like it." said Tay.
"I say I'm cool Tay damn. It's not like things really worked out between us. I mean she keeps comparing me to Johnny and then I have to move away and move back and now I'm living with someone else. Plus she hasn't even kept in touch so that saids alot.But I do want to know who this Andrew is. Or maybe she doing that to make me jealous." said Devin.
"Don't fool yourself Devin. As I say before I don't know that well but she is really heads over heals for him." said Tay.
"Hey guys Kendra and I are going to get Natalie dressed. Wanna join us?" asked Lizzie.
"Hell no!" said Tay.
"Lizzie can you and I talked? asked Devin.
"Later I have to get Natalie ready." said Lizzie.
Meanwhile Charles and Cassie was in the nursery getting the twins ready for dinner.
"Hold still Colin. I want to put your tie on. This is so much easier dressing up Kalie." said Cassie.
"Wanna switch beautiful?" asked Charles.
batman642
"Sure, thanks Charles!" Cassie said.
Within 2 minutes, the twins were all dressed for Thanksgiving dinner.
"Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble..." Kalie and Colin said in unison.
"You two are the cutest turkeys I've ever seen. Daddy could just eat you both up!" Charles said.
Meanwhile, Lizzie has just finished getting Natalie dressed and they both head downstairs with everyone else.
"Hey Lizard, can we talk now?" Devin asked.
"Sure," Lizzie said.
They both went upstairs alone.
"So what did you want to tell me, Devin?" Lizzie asked.
"Well I just wanted..." Devin said.
"Hold on," Lizzie said as she interrupted him mid-sentence. Her cell phone was ringing and it was Andrew.
"Hello." Lizzie said.
"Hola mi bonita chica. Happy Thanksgiving!" Andrew replied.
"Thanks, you too!" Lizzie said as she blushed.
"So how is my beautiful girl doing? Having fun with your family?"
"I'm having a great time. Most of my family and friends are here and the food looks delicious. And the best part is that my dad didn't cook anything!"
"Hahaha, well amen to that! I'm enjoying my family too. Even though it's only been two days, I miss you. So, can I take you out tomorrow night? Maybe we can go out to dinner and catch a movie."
"Awwwwwh. I miss you too. I'll have to ask my parents about going out tomorrow, but I'd definately like to go out! I'll call you and let you know by tonight."
"Okay, that's fine! Well, my family and I are about to eat, so I'll talk to you tonight. Bye Lizzieboo."
"Okay, bye Andykins!"
Lizzie was so caught up on her phone conversation with Andrew, that she didn't notice that Devin had left the room.
Back downstairs...
ilovemax112105 (Do you guys like Lizzieboo and Andykins as nicknames that they have for each other?)
(Those names sound pretty cool ilovemax112105 thanks)
"So did you get a chance to talk to Lizzie yet?" asked Tay.
"I tried but Lizzie got a call on her cellphone." said Devin
"I could be callin' on a holiday?" asked Tay.
"Who else...Andrew. You're right Tay. It seems like I have really lost...I mean Lizard is into Andykins." said Devin.
"Sounds the Greeneye monster is in full effect." said Tay.
"Tay for the last time. I'm not jealous." said Devin in denial.
"Yeah sure." said Tay unconvince.
"Can't you talk to Lizzie for me Tay?" asked Devin.
"Hey man I can't be involved my sister lovelife. Plus I told you before I don't know Andrew that well. If you want to talk to my sister then talk to her." said Tay.
Later Nate finally came out of the bathroom.
"Dang Nate Dad's gravy must've really did it to you." laughed Tay.
"Very funny." said Nate.
Tay and Devin both laughed. Meanwhile Eddie arrived back with Marla, Dana, & Giselle.
batman642
They were outside in the driveway.
“Eddie will my car be okay in this neighborhood?” Marla asked.
“Oh no you didn’t!” Dana chastised her friend. “What do you mean THIS NEIGHBORHOOD? You forgot where you used to live or something?”
Eddie chuckled. “Not to mention you were just here for the unwedding party the other day…..”
“For your information, I didn’t bring my car. I rode with Wes, and if HIS car gets trashed it serves him right!” Marla replied.
“Your car will be fine, Marla,” Eddie assured her.
“You need to upgrade anyway!” Dana told her.
Giselle shook her head in agreement.
“Yeah, Mrs. Antoni. Your whip is nice and all but the Mercedes is played out. The Bentley Continental is the way to go these days.”
“Is that so?” Marla asked slightly offended.
“Ladies, I’d love to stand here talking cars, but this turkey weighs a ton,” Eddie reminded them.
“Ooops! Sorry, Eddie!” Dana apologized.
“Listen up,” he continued, “let me go in first and just follow my lead!” he advised as held them to the front door.
Inside, the usual holiday chaos was going on:
Charles and Cassie were chasing the twins and Natalie who were running through the house, screaming.
Nate, Tay and Devin were on the floor in front of the TV trying to watch football.
Robin and Lulu were in the loveseat, cuddling.
Lizzie and Kendra were on the couch catching up on each other‘s news.
Monica and Jenn were setting the table.
Eddie opened the door with a big smile on his face carrying the turkey.
“SURPRISE EVERYBODY!!! LOOK WHO THE WIND BLEW IN!!!” he announced. .
All eyes turned to the door as he as he held it opened wide for the Marla, Dana and Giselle to enter.
A sudden silence came over the room. Even the twins and Natalie stopped what they were doing and stared at the three newcomers.
Suddenly, little Kalie broke the silence.
“GRANDMA!!!” she yelled happily as she ran to Marla with her arms stretched out.
Marla got on her knees with her arms opened to greet her.
“Hi Baby! Give Grandma kisses!” she said as they embraced.
“Don’t everybody say hi at once!” Dana told the rest of them sarcastically as they continued staring in silence.
Jenn approached them. “Hi Dana, Marla, Giselle. Forgive our manners----this is just such a big ……”
“SURPRISE,” Eddie repeated still smiling and holding the turkey at the front door.
“Yes. Surprise is right. I sent Eddie out for nutmeg and he comes back with a turkey and three females!” Jenn explained.
“Did you get your wife’s nutmeg?” Dana turned and asked him.
“It’s in my pocket,” he replied. “And by the way Jenn, the turkey is from Dana.”
“Thank you, Dana,“ Jenn said as she took the turkey from Eddie and brought it into the kitchen.
“Well ladies, don’t just stand here---come on in and find a seat,” Eddie told them inviting them into the crowded living room.
Collin pointed at Giselle as she entered.
“Mommy, WHO’S THAT???’ he asked, looking up at Cassie with eyes full of innocence.
(nice 2 c u back again ilovemax112105! The nicknames r cute J )
Candygwen
"Oh My God that's Giselle!!!" said Cassie with a big surprised.
"GISELLE!!!" shocked Charles.
"Hi Cassie!" said Giselle waving at Cassie alittle.
"I haven't seen you since the MJ tribute." said Cassie.
"I've been busy." said Giselle being innocent.
Charle was looking at his mother and Danna wondering what was going on.
"Charles don't be rude get Giselle coat." said Eddie.
Charles nervously got the Giselle coat and hang it up in the closet.
"As soon as the pie is ready we can all eat." said Jenn.
Everybody cheered because they have been waiting forever.
"Mom can we talk?" asked Charles.
"Sure Charles." said Marla.
batman642
"Mom, what are you doing? You promised you'd get Giselle out of my hair and now she's eating with me. What happened to our plan?" asked Charles angry.
"Well Charles I think this should be a lesson for you. You shoould always think before you act. Its your own fault thats she's here. You better go talk to her if you don't want her here," said Marla as she walked aqay leaving Charles unable to respond.
"Charles what is Giselle doing here?" asked Cassie confused.
(nice to have u back ilovemax)
Robertadamsonlover
"Well I will be in the the kitchen while you explain things to Cassie." said Marla.
"Well Charles I'm waiting." said Cassie as she stood there.
Tay, Lizzie, Kendra, Robin, Devin, & Lulu stood in the livingroom to see the action.
"Hey this is so much better than watching the football gam" said Devin.
"I so don't want to be Charles right now." laughed Robin.
"Me neither." said Devin.
"This is like watching a soap oprea." laughed Lulu.
"That's because their life is a soap opera." joked Tay.
"Alright that's enough everyone into the den. This is private." said Nate as he got everyone out of here.
"But Nate this is getting good." said Tay.
"Tay this is none of our business. Now come on." said Nate.
"Oh our alright." said Tay.
Nate got everyone to go to the den so Chassie can have their privacy.
"Same goes to you three." said Nate as he grabbed Natalie, Kalie, & Colin.
"Charles wel?!?." said Cassie impatiently.
"Well I sorta invited Giselle to come for Thanksgiving because he Uncle is out of town and she has no one to spend Thanksgiving with. And I couldn't stand seeing her spend the holidays alone. So I invited her to come over." said Charles.
batman642
It took awhile for Cassie to process the information and she stayed quiet as she did. Finally she spoke.
"Okaaaaaaaaaaay........sooooooooooooooo.......WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME KNOW???" she demanded.
"Cassie---calm down first of all. After I invited her, I thought about it and realized maybe it wasn't such a great idea afterall and so I got Mom and Dana to cover for me. Giselle was supposed to be having dinner at Mom's! I don't know WHAT the three of them are doing here, Cassie----honest I don't!" Charles explained panicky.
Cassie was quiet again as she thought about what Charles said while Charles paced back and forth, disturbed.
"You know what, Charles?" Cassie suddenly started.
"What?" he asked, worried.
"I believe you," she told him.
He let out a sigh of relief.
"ONLY YOU could get into such a messy situation as this!" she continued, shaking her head and trying not to laugh.
"Cassie, I thought it was cleaned up! I don't know how it turned into such a mess!"
"I heard you the first time, Charles! Don't worry---I believe you," she said putting him at ease.
"I'm sorry, Cassie. I hope this won't spoil your Thanksgiving---having Giselle here like this," he apologized.
She took his arm in hers and started towards the Den door.
"It won't, Charles. It's just one night, and it's not like we're ENEMIES. If I expect you to be civil with Robin, then I guess I can do the same with Giselle," she told him.
"You've got a point there," Charles agreed, grinning.
When they came out of the Den and joined the others, they all had worried looks on their faces not knowing what to expect.
"It's okay, everyone!" Charles announced. "I'm still alive and well!" he joked as he put his arm around Cassie.
Everyone laughed.
Candygwen
Soon Jenn came out of the kitchen.
"Alright everyone dinner is ready." said Jenn.
"Thank God!" yelled Tay.
"It's about time." said Lizzie.
"I am starved." said Nate.
Everyone rushed out of the den and into the kitchen. Cassie quickly grabbed Robin's arm and whispered in his ear.
"We still need to talk." whispered Cassie.
Robin nodded.
"Cassie! Robin! move your butt!!!" yelled Dana.
Cassie and Robin went to the kitchen and sat next to their fiances. Nate notice the Cassie was sitting next to Robin so he went sat between the two.
"HEY!!!" yelled Robin and Cassie unision.
"I couldn't find room." said Nate as he gave Robin an evil grin.
Cassie was displeased with Nate's rudness.
They all saw their are two turkeys. One cooked and the other fried.
"Wow we definitely Thankful this year. Man two turkeys." said Tay.
"Wow we are going to have turkey everynight." said Lizzie.
"I don't I will be able to finished all that." said Lulu.
"Don't worry everyone waited for hours I'm sure everyone is starved." said Cassie.
"Alright who want to blessed the table?" asked Jenn.
"I should ofcourse." said Eddie.
"How about Robin?" asked Lizzie.
"Yeah that's a great idea." said Cassie.
"Oh no! Once is enough." said Robin.
"Robin don't be bashful." said Monica.
"Yeah you blessed the table last year." said Lizie.
"That was different you guys were guest at our house last year. We are the guest this time. If anyone should blessed the table is the head of the house. Mr. Sutton." said Robin.
"Thanks Robin that's very thoughtful but you go right ahead. I'm not good at this sort of thing." said Eddie.
"Yeah Robin it's okay." said Jenn as she gave him a wink.
"What the used he's not going to do it. Robin is too yellow" said Charles.
"CHARLES!" shocked Cassie.
"Well it's true. They should change his name from Robin to Chicken." said Charles.
"So you're saying that I'm scared to blessed the table?" insulted Robin.
"Cluck Cluck Cluck!" Nate as he imitated a chicken.
After Charles insult and Nate making fun of him Robin got motivated and started to blessed the table.
"This should be good." said Nate.
batman642
Robin slowly stood up and cleared his throat. Closing his eyes, he began:
“Lord Thank you for helping us to recover from the Earthquake, physically, financially and emotionally. Thank you for this food and the loving hands that prepared it.
We’re here again after a year has passed, together as one big family, although we have many different names. We have more with us this day than last year and we’re thankful for the new faces.
Kendra, a beautiful young lady with so much potential,
Devin a strong young man with wisdom beyond his years and so much courage,
Giselle, a young woman with an angel’s face despite the demons she’s had to fight off,
and Nate Ray, a true brother willing to fight until the death for all of us.
Thank you for bringing them into our lives because they have truly been a blessing in one way or another.
We’ve lost some in death within the past year, Lord, my father--Michael Morgan, and another Michael – Michael Jackson -- who we all loved very much even though we may not have met him. We thank you that we’ve been able to go on despite the loss.
Some of us here today narrowly escaped death, Lord.
Charles was a victim of a knife attack,
I was in a plane crash,
Mr. Sutton had a heart attack
Mrs. Sutton contracted a deadly virus
and Cassie suffered a miscarriage.
Thank you for sparing us and letting us remain here with family and friends. Amen”
When he opened his eyes, everyone was staring at Robin – some puzzled, some worried—some shocked.
“What’s wrong with you all?” he asked, not realizing what he had just said about Cassie.
Candygwen
"Robin did you just said Cassie's miscarriage?" confused Lulu.
Robin finally realized what he had said and he was lost for words.
"What Robin meant by that was I suffered a misery with all the drama I've been gone through." said Cassie
"Heh!?!" confused Robin.
"Robin!!!" muttered Cassie.
"Oh yes silly me." laughed Robin.
"But I'm sure Robin has said you suffer a miscarriage." confused Eddie.
"I heard it too." said Dana.
"Oh Robin mind was probably somewhere else. He was probably was thinking about that movie we both watched sometime ago." said Monica as she cover up for Robin and Cassie.
"Oh yeah I was really into that movie." lied Robin.
"Robin sweetie you have got to stop watching those lifetime movies." said Monica.
"Sorry I will try to cut back." said Robin.
"Yeah no need to be alarm Robin probably said the wrong thing. Don't feel bad sweetie nobody's perfect." said Jenn.
"Yeah...thanks Mrs. Sutton." said Robin quietly.
"I can't believe you actually watched the lifetime channel." laughed Charles.
"Well at least it keeps me occupied other than calling my girlfriend every few minutes." said Robin.
"Hey what's that suppose to mean? Cassie what have you been telling him?" snapped Charles.
"Everyone calm down. It was nice blessing lets no spoil it by arguing." said Jenn.
"Yeah I'm ready to eat. I don't hear no women channel." said Tay.
"Yeah I want try that fried turkey." said Lizzie.
"And I am anixous for everyone to try my gravy." said Eddie unaware that his gravy has been switched.
batman642
Except for the fact that, while talking to God, Robin almost spilled the beans about him and Cassie, everything went well at the Thanksgiving Dinner.
Eddie’s gravy (which was really Monica’s) was a big hit, and so was Dana’s fried turkey and Jenn's pies.
Lulu and Cassie got to know Giselle better and exchanged phone numbers with her.
To Eddie’s pleasant surprise, Charles kept his distance from Giselle, and even got along pretty well with Robin – except for a few more wisecracks about Robin's addiction to lifetime movies being a threat to his manliness.
Jenn, Monica, Dana and Marla also socialized very nicely together and took turns caring for Colin, Kalie and Natalie so that Chassie could have a break.
Tay, Devin, Lizzie and Kendra decided to play karaoke together in the den. They were having so much fun, soon everyone crowded in the den and took turns singing on the karaoke machine.
Cassie decided that while everyone was distracted with the singing, she would try to finally have her conversation with Robin. She managed to catch his eye from across the room and signaled to him that she wanted to talk with him outside. Then she slipped out of the den unnoticed by anyone and went onto the porch and waited for Robin to join her.
Candygwen
Robin finally snuck out the den to join Cassie. He looked around to make sure nobody was watching. He tiptoe very quietly get out the door.
"Where is she?" Robin wondered.
"Robin I'm over here." said Cassie sitting on the bench.
"I was worry for a second there." said Robin.
"Come sit down." said Cassie.
Robin sat next to Cassie.
"Shouldn't we be inside with the others?" asked Robin.
"We still really need to talk. And this is the only way I can get you alone. If we would have talk inside people would get suspicous and Nate would been on the prowl again." said Cassie.
"Good point!" said Robin.
"Robin next year I'll bless the table." said Cassie.
"Since when you became so religious all of a sudden?" asked Robin.
"When I recently found out you got a BIG MOUTH!!!" said Cassie.
"Oops sorry I guess I got a little caught into the moment." said Robin.
"(Sigh) That's alright! But
