Pick up from pg 14

"Wait for me!" Lizzie shouted, running behind Tay.

"Charles, how in the world did you get recruited to paint Vera's place?" Eddie asked, curious.

"My mom volunteered me," Charles replied, hoping Cassie's parents wouldn't dig too deep.

"And you just agreed with it?" Eddie continued questioning.

"He sure did, Eddie!" Jenn said with an admiring smile.  "I was right there and saw the whole thing!" she bragged.

Eddie nodded approvingly.  "I'm impressed, Charles.  I didn't think you had it in you, to be honest," he admitted.

Charles felt guilty but tried to hide it with a smile.  "Thank you, Mr. Sutton."

There was an awkward silence in the kitchen for a few moments until Charles broke it.

"Well.....guess I'd better be on my way!" he told them as he started to leave.

"Charles, wait a minute," Eddie said.  "I'm gonna go with you and help you out."

"You ARE???" Charles asked, pleasantly surprised.

Eddie nodded.  "Yeah.....it's the least I can do.  After all, my father lives there too, and I'm NOT working anywhere.  It'll keep my mind off of my problems."

"And the two of you can get to know each other better," Jenn added, smiling.  "You know, do a little male bonding!"

"Don't get carried away Jenn," Eddie remarked, shooting her a look.

"Okay, well, I'll wait for you in the car then?" Charles asked, happy.

"Yeah, Charles, I'll be out in a few minutes," Eddie promised.

"Cool.  Thanks, Mr. Sutton.   Now I see why Cassie rants and raves about you," Charles said, buttering him up.

Eddie laughed.  "You're one smooth talker, Charles."

Charles smiled.  "Thanks--I think."

Meanwhile Dana went to check on Cassie to see how she is doing.

"Dana must you tag along with me?  Nothing is going to happened." said Cassie.

"Uh huh and I'm going to keep it that way.  Don't I'll give you and RObin space but I'm not going anywhere." said Dana.

"So you don't trust me?" asked Cassie.

"Hey I was a teenager once Cassie.  I know what's going on now hurry up." said Dana.

"Oh alright." said Cassie.

Back at Monica's house, Robin is in the shower when his mother pokes her head in the bathroom.

"Robin, honey, have you got plans for the day?"

"Yeah, Mom.  What's up?"

"Oh.....nothing I gues...." she said sounding disappointed.

Not liking the sound of her voice, Robin poked his head out of the shower to look at her face to face.

'You okay, Mom?" he asked concerned.

She sighed sadly.  "Sure, honey.  You go and do your thing--I'll stay here and......(sigh)"

"Mom, if you don't want to be alone, I can change my plans," he offered.  "Cassie will understand."

"Oh--your plans are with CASSIE.  I see....." she remarked coldly.

"Is that a problem?" he challenged.

"Robin, finish your shower.  We'll talk later," Monica said as she closed the bathroom door.
Candygwen

"(Sigh) Something tells me I should have never took a week off from Sea School." said Robin.

After Robin finised his shower he got dressed and went downstairs to talk to his mother.

"Mom we need to talk.  Do you have a problem with Cassie or something?" asked Robin.

"No Robin why you asked?" frustrated Monica.

"Because it seems like everytime I mention the girl's name or her parents you cringe." said RObin.

"Have you forgotten that you have a girlfriend?" snapped Monica.

"Not that again.  Mom I told you before Cassie and I are just friends.  And no I have not forgotten about Lulu.  God, first Mr. Sutton and now you." annoyed Robin.

"I just don't want you to get hung over with this girl." said Monica.

"Why can't you accept the fact that Cassie and I are just friends?" annoyed Robin.

"Because I'm worried Robin. I don't want you to get hurt by this girl and I was hoping since you are home this week we would spend some time together." said Monica.

"Mom, Cassie and I just hanging out and talk that's it nothing else." said RObin.

"You sure?" asked Monica.

"I'm positive and I have the whole week off.  First thing tomorrow we both spend the whole together just you and I." said Robin.

"You promise?" asked Monica.

"Promise." said Robin.

Batman642

Meanwhile, on the way to Spencer's house, Charles and Eddie made a quick stop at Castillo's Auto Body and got an estimate on the windows that Charles shattered.

Then, they continued on the drive to Spencer and Vera's place.

"You know Charles, I was talking to my father the other day about us guys getting together to work on my house next.  You, me, Tay, Nate, Dad -- you know, kind of make it a family affair.  Of course there are some things that a contractor will have to take care of, but I'm talking about he minor stuff that we can do," Eddie explained.

"Sounds like a plan," Charles agreed.  "It's interesting that you're calling it a family affair and including me," he observed.

"My father questioned that also.  But, like it or not, the twins bring us together as a family -- no?" Eddie asked.

"Sure thing.  I'm just surprised that you're finally admitting it," Charles remarked.  "No offense, of course."

"None taken.  I just needed some time to get used to the idea -- and to you."

Charles laughed.  "Well the kids are approaching two years old, Mr. Sutton.  Think that's enough time?"

"Yeah, I guess so....." Eddie answered.  "I must admit, Charles, when you're not trying to get into my daughter's pants, you're an alright guy."

Again, Charles felt guilty, remembering the other night with Cassie.
Candygwen

"Oh yeah...thanks sir." said Charles.

The two arrived at the house and walked in.

"Well Well Well if it ain't my son and the crazy white boy!!!  What are you going wrecked today?" asked Spencer.

"Knock it off Dad." said Eddie.

"Eddie what are you doing here?  Are you going to treat to another restuarunt again?  Because I want to go Red Robins today." said Spencer.

"No actually I came here to help Charles paint today. Since I don't have anything else better to do." said Eddie.

"Oh well then just let that boy know if he act crazy again I got Hercule in full effect." said Spencer.

"Grandpa I'm cool.  I'm on my best behavior." said Charles.

"That's Mr. Sutton to you boy." said Spencer.

"Dad cool it. Anyway since you are well enough why don't you help us out?" asked Eddie.

"Uh oh I think I'm getting another one of my headaches again." said Spencer as he was faking.

"Let this old man lay down for awhile.  I'll be back on my feet soon." said Spencer.

"This man always runs away from his responsibility." muttered Eddie.

Meanwhile Robin arrived at the beachhouse and notice the place is a wrecked.

"Wow this earthquake did a job on the place.  I can't believe Cassie want me to meet her here." said Robin.

Soon Cassie arrived with Dana.

"Hey Cassie." greeted Robin.

"Hello Robin. Good to see you again." said Dana walking in.

"Hey Dana." stunned Robin but hugged Dana.

"Cassie what is Dana doing here?" puzzled Robin.

"Dana feels it's best if she tag along and she hasn't seen you in awhile either." said Cassie esplained.

"So in other words she doesn't trust us alone together." said Robin.

"I don't trust any kids since Jeron has been born.  I'll leave you two alone and I'll be in the kitchen. No Hanky Panky you here." warned Dana.

Batman642

Cassie and Robin cleared a spot on the couch so they could sit amidst the dust and plaster chips that had fallen.

"What a difference this place is from last Summer, huh?" Cassie remarked sadly.

"Yeah.  Life can change like THAT!" Robin said as he snapped his fingers to make his point.

"But then some things don't seem to change--ever," Cassie said quietly.

"I don't understand," Robin replied.

Cassie looked a little timid.  "Feelings and stuff..." she went on.

"Oh......." he responded, deep in thought.

Robin thought awhile.  "See, Cassie--this is why I wanted us to talk.  Am I misunderstanding you?  Because it seems to me like you're trying to tell me something when you say 'feelings and stuff'."

"Maybe I am," she answered.

"You kissed me at the wake," he continued.

"I did," she agreed.

"And then in the car.....I almost kissed you," he admitted.  "But you said all of this was because the funeral got our emotions going.'

"I did," she repeated.

"Are you still sticking to that story?" he asked bluntly.

"Well, what's your explanation for it then?" she asked.  "I mean, we are JUST FRIENDS, right?"

"That's what we tell everyone," Robin admitted, "but I think it's time we started being truthful, first off, with each other," he said as he took her hand in his.
Candygwen

"Robin I don't know how I really feel anymore." said Cassie.

"Come on Cassie we have to talk about this.  Look your dad said something that made since yesterday.  We have to start being honest with each other." said Robin.

"Then how do you feel about me then? Do you want to be more than friends?" asked Cassie.

"I asked you first Cassie and I still waiting on an answer." said Robin.

"Robin I do have feelings for you.  I actually comfortable being around you and you really undestand my feelings.  I'm actually happy and you don't give me much drama.  I admit when we almost kiss I felt something a connection, however I cannot hurt Charles & I want to be with him.  And he really is trying real hard to change." said Cassie.

"And this is why we should remain friends Cassie." said Robin.

"What don't you love me Robin?" asked Cassie.

"Cassie I do love you.  I love you alot.  And I really wish you & I can be together but you just said it yourself you want to be with Charles and you don't want to hurt him.  I want to be with Lulu and I don't want to hurt her either.  She needs me" said Robin.

"What about me Robin? I need you." said Cassie.

"Cassie I will always be there for you but only as a friend.  And we cannot go around behind people's back and mess around like that.  That is wrong on so many level and you know that.  Plus we got too many people raising suspicion People don't trust us alone together.  Why you think Charles act crazy? I don't think we should keep giving him reason to act jealous.  We already made that mistake before when were on the cruise and I don't want to go through that again." said Robin.

"But Robim we shared something special on the cruise." said Cassie.

"Yeah and you also felt guilty & ashamed that you told Charles and he attacked me.  And you almost lost your best friend Lulu because of that.  This stuff happened on the cruise is my fault anyway I was selfish and I took advantage of our friendship. I don't want that to happened again." said Robin.

"Maybe we can talk to them and tell them we should see other people." said Cassie.

"No I thought about what your father said yesterday and I made my decision I want to stay as friends for Lulu sakes and Charles sakes.  But most of all the twins sake." said Robin.

"How do you feel about me then Robin.  Please be honest with me." said Cassie.

"I told you. I love you Cassie." said Robin.

"Do you want to be with me?  Yes or no?" annoyed Cassie.

"Cassie I'm sorry but I can't lose Lulu and you cannot lose your bestfriend.  Come on I know you and Charles have your up and downs but you two got through it so tell me are you really ready to give up on a man who gave you two precious kids and is willing to take a bullet for you?" asked Robin.

Cassie was silence and she saw her eternal ring.

"I didn't think so. I have to go. I'll call you later on tonight." said Robin as he left.

Cassie's eyes begin to fill up with tears.  Dana came out.

"Cassie I couldn't help but overhear." said Dana.

"Why don't just say he wants to be more than just friends?" asked hurtful Cassie.

"Cassie he already told you that.  And I think he's right." said Dana.

Then Cassie broke down crying and Dana consoled her.

Batman642

After awhile, Cassie pulled herself together and Dana took the opportunity to speak frankly with her.

"Cassie, sometimes it seems like you want to have your cake and eat it too, honey."

"I know," Cassie admitted.

"But life doesn't work that way, and you know that as well as I do.  And if you try to change the laws of nature, you're only gonna hurt yourself and lose everything --no Charles--no Robin--maybe even no twins."

"No twins? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Cassie, honey, if you get Charles TOO UPSET, he could file for custody of those babies AND WIN.  Imagine if he took you to court and showed that you're unstable and can't make up your mind about who you want to be with!"

"Charles wouldn't do that!" Cassie brushed Dana off.

"Hmph!  Don't be too sure, girl.  Stranger things have happened, believe you me."

"Oh come on, Dana.....You're blowing this WAY out of proportion!"

"Cassie, I'm just saying that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.  When you let go of what you have, trying to get something that's not guaranteed, you wind up losing it all.  You have Charles.  You have your children.  And I KNOW you love all three of them.  I KNOW YOU DO.  So be satisifed, girl!  Stop wishing for what you can't have!  Stop wishing for what doesn't belong to you!  Otherwise, you're gonna drive yourself and Charles crazy.  AND ROBIN."

"I really am making a fool of myself," Cassie admitted after awhile.  "But you know what, Dana?"

"What Cassie?"

Cassie started to cry again.  "I can't help it!"
Candygwen

"Oh Cassie it's alright.  But you cannot have everything." said Dana.

"But I love both Charles and Robin." said Cassie.

"I understand and I know what you are going through but you can't have it both ways." said Dana.

"Why does this have to happen to me?" cried Cassie.

Meanwhile while back at Spencer's house while Spencer laying on the couch drinking his ice tea Eddie & Charles is working their butts off.

"Boy that sure does look like hard work." said Spencer as he watched

"We would get alot of work done if smeone get off the couch and help us." said Eddie.

"I am helping Eddie.  I'm supervising." said Spencer drinking his ice tea.

"Charles lets take a 5 minute break." said Eddie.

"I've thought you never asked." said Charles.

"Good Eddie I want to talk to you alone about what happened at the cheesecake factory.  Charles help yourself to some ice tea." said Spencer.

"Thanks sir." said Charles.

Spencer took Eddie to the room and talk.

"Now why were you all up in both Cassie and Robin's business for?" asked Spencer.

Batman642

"Maybe if I had been up in Cassie's business a long time ago, I wouldn't be a grandfather and you wouldn't be a great grandfather!" Eddie replied.

"Boy, don't you know by now, that when you say UP they say DOWN.  When you say HOT they say COLD.  When you said  WRONG they say RIGHT.  When you say LOVER they say FRIEND???"

"Pop!  You're babbling!"

"Eddie!  After being a father for almost 20 years, I would think you know how teenagers operate!  What I'm TRYING TO TELL YOU is you'll NEVER get them to fess up to anything.  All you're doing is adding fuel to the fire!  You're putting ideas in that girl's head that don't need to be there!  If she wasn't interested in Robin, she will be by the time you finish INSINUATING that she is!  Leave it alone, Eddie.  Leave THEM alone -- ALL OF THEM!" Spencer practically begged.

"Sorry, Pops.  I can't do it.  I understand what you're saying, but I don't agree.  I'm not gonna sit back and not say anything when I see smoke.  Where there's smoke, there's fire and I'm gonna yell fire."

Spencer shook his head, defeated and disgusted.  "Alright, son.  Have it your way.  I tried to warn you, but looks like you're gonna have to learn the hard way.  It's just a shame Cassie has to suffer while you're still trying to learn how to be parent!"

"That's enough, Pop!" Eddie said as he angrily left the room.
Candygwen

Charles was ease dropping on Eddie & Spencer conservation and when Eddie opened the door Charles rushed back quickly and started painting.

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?" snapped Eddie.

"Nothing sir." said Charles as he continued painting.

Meanwhile back at Lund's Sage was in the room pouting that she didn't get a chance to expose Robin and Cassie at the funeral & cementary.

"Damn this would've been a great opportunity to bust Cassie!!!  Why did my boyfriend have to take my cell phone?" said Sage to herself.

"There's got to be a away to catch Robin and Cassie in the act." said Sage.

Then Lund hey Sage.  Sage I thought you were going to clean up around?" asked Lund.

"I am dad in a few minutes." said Sage.

"How about right now?" asked Lund.

"Alright." said Sage as she begin to clean.

"Anyway how was the funeral yesterday?" asked Lund.

Batman642

Sage made a face.  "Oh it was just GREAT, Dad!  Nothing like a GOOD FUNERAL!" she replied sarcastically.

Lund made a face of his own.  "You know what I meant, Sage.  Who was there? How long did it last?  Did anyone get carried out on a stretcher?"

This time Sage rolled her eyes and sighed.  "Okay, let's do this.  Mr. Sutton, Cassie, Robin, Me, Danny, Monica--those are the only people you probably know that were there, but it was crowded.  It lasted WAY too long!  SO LONG, that I'll NEVER step foot in a church again, that's for sure!  And no one got carried out on a stretcher--even though........there was almost a fight at the cemetery..." Sage remembered.

"Fight?  No kidding?  Between who?" Lund asked, getting interested.

"The dead guy's ex-wife and your ex-partner.  Imagine that!" Sage remarked, amused.

"Come on, Sage.  That's not funny," Lund replied annoyed.

"Dad!  I'm serious!  She was screaming bloody murder at him and then ran off the cemetery, jumped in the limo and bounced.  Seriously!" Sage said, trying to convince him.

Lund looked at his daughter skeptically, rubbing his chin. 

"Looks like it's time for me to touch base with my long, lost partner," he decided out loud as he picked up the phone.  "Eddie Sutton will tell me the truth!"

Sage put her hand on her hip and sucked her teeth.  "Oh?  And I won't?  Go ahead and call him--you'll see what I'm saying is true," she assured him.

Kevin dialed Eddie's cell phone.
Candygwen

"Hello." Eddie answered.

"Hey Eddie whatsup." Lund replied

"Lund hey what's happening?  How's those ribs of yours?" asked Eddie.

"I have better days.  Tell me what's happened at the funeral?" asked Lund.

"You do not want to know and I don't even want to talk about it.  It was just too much." said Eddie.

"Wow that bad huh.  I heard Robin's mom cuss you out." said Lund.

"What!!!" shocked Eddie.

"That what Sage told me." said Lund.

"First of all I don't want ot be rude but your daughter needs to mind her own business and second she did not cuss me out we had an argument." said Eddie.

"Same difference.  What did you say to piss her off?" asked Lund.

"I told her about that joke of a Reverend Kingston and she snapped thinking he Gold Almighty.  I tell that Rev. preach like there was no tomorrow.  Showboating and everything." said Eddie.

"Glad I wasn't there." said Lund.

"Yeah well hopefully Robin will talk some sense into her mother." said Eddie.

Batman642

Meanwhile, back on the beach, after Robin left Cassie in the beach house he walked along the shore for awhile, thinking.  After awhile he decided to sit on a sand dune and watch the tide go in and out, as he wondered what was going to become of his relationships with Lulu and Cassie.

He decides to give Lulu a call.

"Boo!!!!!  I was wondering why I haven't heard from you!" Lulu shouted happily on the phone.

"I'm sorry I couldn't call you sooner.  The funeral and all....."

"Robin, I understand.  It must've been rough, huh?' she asked sympathetically.

"More so for my mom than for me."

"So where are you now?" she inquired.

"Uh......I'm sitting out on the beach.  I wanted to see the quake damage to the beach house."

"Is it bad?"

"Worse than I thought.  But I'm sure Charles' mom will pay to fix the house up in time for next summer."

"Are you there alone?" Lulu wondered.

"I'm alone," he told her.

"You went to Cassie's beach house ALONE?" she questioned him.

"I said I'm alone, Lu," he repeated.  "Now."

"I guess you need some alone time, huh?  To think?" she reasoned.

"Yeah.  And the first person I thought of is you," he said quietly.

"Oh Booooooo.....I love you," Lulu replied softly.

Robin was quiet on the other end.
Candygwen

"I love you too Lulu." said Robin quietly.

"Are you sure you're alright?" asked Lulu.

"Of course it just the funeral and my mom wore me out that's all." said Robin.

"That's must've been some funeral." said Lulu.

"Yeah tell me about it." said Robin.

"How's everything at Sea School?" asked Robin.

"Crazy we've been having surprise quizes almost everyday.  And one of students is planning a party." said Lulu.

"Wish I was there." said RObin.

"Me too." said Lulu.

Meanwhile Nate dropped off Lizzie, Tay, & Jeron at the arcade games.

"Alright I'll be back to pick you kids up at five.  Have fun." said Nate driving off.

"So what do you guys want to do first?" asked Jeron.

"I want to check out some females." said Tay.

Batman642

"Well then you're on your own, Tay," Jeron told him.

"What?  You don't want to come with me?" Tay asked surprised.

"For what?  I got me a fine female, RIGHT HERE," he said as he put his arm around Lizzie. 

"Shawty, we have alot of unfinished business," Jerone told her as he put his face close to hers.
Candygwen

"Jeron people are staring." giggled Lizzie.

"Then let them watch." said Jeron.

"Oh lod I'm out." said Tay.

Now that Devin is out of the picture we can finally pick up where we left off." said Jeron.

"Umm want to play some video games?" asked Lizzie.

"Forshizzle." said Jeron.

The two started playing video games.  Meanwhile back at the beach after Robin finished talking to Lulu and decided to check on Cassie to see if she alright and he felt that he was a little harsh on her so he decided to treat both Dana & Cassie out to lunch.

Batman642

By the time he walked back up to the beach house from where he had been sitting, Dana had managed to calm Cassie down for the second time.

When Robin knocked on the door, Cassie was in the bathroom washing her face so Dana answered it.

"Hey, Robin.  You're back?" she asked, surprised.

"Yeah, Dana.  Can I come in ?"

"I don't know if this is such a good idea.  Cassie was pretty upset over y'alls conversation.  She's inside now getting fixing her face," Dana explained.

"Dana, I know she's upset.  I'm upset too--with myself.  I was kinda rough on her and--well--I wanna take you guys out for lunch and make it up to her."

When Dana heard that, she opened the door wider so Robin could come inside.

"You're a good guy, Robin," she told him as he walked in and sat back down on the couch.

"I think I messed up though," he admitted.  "Our conversation didn't go the way I wanted it to."

Dana sat next to Robin on the couch and rubbed his back in a motherly sort of way. 

"You've been through so much these past fews days, hon.  I don't think you even realize what a toll it's taken on you--losing your father like that.  I know you weren't close to Mike, but still, it's affected you more than you think.  So if your game is a little off, Robin, that's understandable."

Robin looked at Dana for a while and thought about what she said.  "Dana, that's just the thing.  When it comes to Cassie, it's not all about game.  It never has been and it never will be."

Dana nodded. "That's deep."

Then Cassie came down from the bathroom and stopped short when she saw Robin on the couch talking to Dana.
Candygwen

"Robin you're back." surprised Cassie.

"Yeah I felt like I was a bit harsh on you & I didn't quite handle the situation very well so I want to apologize." said Robin.

"It's okay Robin." said Cassie.

"I meant what I said about remaining friends however.  We can't go around and hurt the people we love." said Robin.

"I guess you're right." muttered Cassie as she wasn't listening what Obin saying.

"Tell you what I'll work on my relationship Lulu if you work on your relationship with Charles if it doesn't work or if we decide to see other people then maybe we should hook up." said Robin.

'You really mean that Robin?" said Cassie seeing a sign of hope.

"Yeah most definitely, but we have to let nature take its course you know whatever happens happens okay." said Robin.

"Okay." said Cassie as she begin to smile.

Soon the two of them hugged.

"Alright that's enough hugging." said Dana as got in the middle.

"Sorry we got a little carried away there." said RObin.

"Well anyway Robin is going to treat us to lunch aren't you Robin?" asked Dana.

"Of course I'm going to take you ladies to TGIFs" said Robin.

"Awesome." said Cassie.

"Now lets get out of this place it too depressing to hang around." said Robin.

"You can said that again." said Dana.

Batman642

While the three of them were enjoying lunch together at TGIFs, Cassie spotted Bill, the photographer, walk in with a beautiful young woman.

"Oh.....my.....God!" she gasped as she stared wide-eyed at the couple.

"Cassie, what's wrong?" Robin asked, worried.

"Mrs. A's new boyfriend just walked in with another woman on his arm," Cassie said, hurt.

Robin turned around and spotted them too.

"Who is that guy?  Haven't I seen him before?" Robin asked, scratching his head and trying to remember.

Cassie nodded. "That's the photographer that did the story on my sand sculptures last summer.  His name is Bill.  His agency represents Natalie and Kalie now for the kiddie modeling.  And he also has been hitting on Mrs. Antoni, who has a huge crush on him!"

"Oh, yeah, I remember him now.....Hmmm.....so he dates Charles' mom?" Robin asked, curious.

"Yes!  He just took her out dancing the other night.  Actually, it was their FIRST DATE, and Mrs. A was SO HAPPY.  She's gonna be devastated if he dumps her!"

Dana joined the conversation.  "Now, now, hold on, Cassie.  I'm sure there's an explanation to this," she assured her.

"Dana, come on!  The explanation is that he's cheating on Marla!" Cassie insisted.

"Cassie, they're adults.  Maybe they're not in an exclusive relatonship--like YOU AND CHARLES.  If not, then he's not CHEATING.  And who knows, that young thing on his arm could be his daughter for all we know," Dana reasoned.

Robin nodded.  "True, true," he agreed. "She does look our age, Cassie."

Cassie frowned.  "I hope you guys are right."

Dana started to get up.  "Well, there's only one way to find out," she said as she walked towards Bill's table.

"Dana!" Cassie called, trying to stop her.  But it was too late.  Dana was already on her way over to say hi to Bill.
Candygwen

"DANA!!!" shocked Bill.

"Bill whatsup!?!?" said Dana.

"Dana I didn't know you were here." said Bill.

"So have you called Marla?" asked Dana.

"Not yet." said Bill.

"You should to let her know what you are up to." said Dana.

"Dana this isn't the time or place." said Bill.

"So that's your game huh?  I knew it was too good to be true.  I can't believe you out here playing Marla for a fool while you get your freak on some young piece of trash." said Dana.

"Now you look here woman." snapped Bill.

"Don't woman I am not going to stand here trying to be the next R Kelly and get your groove back." angered Dana.

"Uncle Bill what is she talking about?" asked young girl.

"Did she say Uncle." stunned Dana.

"Yes..that happens to be my niece.  I just picked from Rehab." said Bill.

"Bill I am so sorry." said embarrassed Dana.

Batman642

After an awkward moment of silence, Bill and Dana both started to laugh.

"No harm done, Dana.  I know you were just looking out for your homegirl," Bill said putting Dana at ease.

"Thanks for understanding.  It ain't easy out here for us women over 30," she admitted.

"You?  Over 30?  No way!" Bill teased her.  "And Marla neither," he added just to be safe.

"Man!  I am SO JEALOUS of Marla right now!  Why didn't I meet you first?" Dana asked, pretending to flirt.

Bill cleared his throat.  "Pardon my manners, Dana.  I didn't introduce you to my niece, Giselle.  Giselle, this is Dana Taylor."

The two females shook hands.

"You're so pretty!" Dana complimented the youngster.

"Thank you," she replied smiling beautifully.

"Is she a model too?" Dana asked Bill.

"Well......it's a long story, but let's just say that's how she ended up in Rehab.  Modeling isn't for everyone, no matter how pretty they may be," Bill replied.

Giselle looked embarrassed.

Dana felt sorry for her and decided to change the subject.  "You know, Cassie and her friend are over there at the table.  Maybe you and Giselle could join the three of us," Dana offered.

Bill's face lit up.  "Good idea!  Giselle needs to meet some new people, don't you Giselle?"

So they left their table and followed Dana over to where Robin and Cassie were.

"Good news," Dana told Cassie when she reached the table.  "Bill's not cheating on Marla.  This is his niece, Giselle!"
Candygwen

"That's his niece?  Wow she is FINE!!!" said Robin.

Then Cassie elbow Robin.

"I mean she is nowhere fine as you Cassie. " said Robin with a good saved.

"Well don't just sit come over and talk to them." said Dana.

Robin and Cassie met Giselle.

"So you must be the famous Cassie Sutton.  My Uncle told me so much about you." said Giselle.

"Really I didn't I was that famous." said bashful Cassie.

"Are you kidding you are a legend." said Giselle.

"I don't about all that." said Cassie.

"I have to see some of your work." said Giselle.

"This is my good friend Robin." said Cassie.

"Hey Giselle." said Robin.

"Hey Robin are you an artist like Cassie?" asked Giselle.

"Not quite I'm a writer.  I write poetries." said RObin.

"I see." said  Giselle.

"Oh I almost forgot Cassie if you don't mind I would to do photoshoot for your daughter for the upcoming spring edition." said Bill.

"Sure okay but what about Natalie?" asked Cassie.

"Yes I have to let your mother know as well.  The first one was such a success.  I want to do another to see where this goes." said Bill.

"How about all sit here and have lunch." suggested Dana.

"That's great idea." said Bill.

"Cassie I didn't know you have a daughter." shocked Giselle.

"Yeah she also have a son too." said Robin.

Batman642

"But you don't look--" Giselle started and then stopped.  "Never mind."

Cassie smiled.  "I don't look old enough to have two kids?  Well, I hit the jackpot and got two for the price of one!" she joked.

She pulled out her i-phone and showed Giselle pictures of her kids.  "This is Colin and this is Kalie.  Twins."

Giselle gazed lovingly at them.  "Ooooooh.....they're ADORABLE!  One is black and one is white!"

Cassie frowned a little.  "Their father is white, and they're BOTH MIXED.  My son takes after me and my daughter takes after her father," Cassie corrected Giselle.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Cassie.  I didn't mean anything bad when I said that--honest!" Giselle apologized as she handed  her the phone back.

"Oh, okay.  It's cool," Cassie replied.

"I LOVE BABIES!" Giselle continued. 

Bill frowned.  "Well don't get any ideas, Giselle," he warned.

"Oh Uncle!  I'm just saaaaaaaying......" she said rolling her eyes like a dizzy blonde.

Everyone laughed.

Meanwhile Tay was wondering around the arcade he thought about Sage.  He decided to make peace with her so he called her.  The phone rang & rang but still no answer.  Little did Tay know that Danny still has Sage phone.  A few minutes later Tay called again only this time Dann answered.

"Hello?" Danny answered.

"You not Sage." stunned Tay.

"I know that." said Danny.

"Who the hell is this?" snapped Tay.

"It's me Danny smartass!!!  What you doing calling my girl cellphone?" snapped Danny.

"None of your damn business.  What are doing with Sage's cell?" asked Danny.

"I'm her Man I get to do whatever I want to." said Danny.

"Man put Sage on the phone." snapped Tay.

"Screw you douchbag.  Wait a minute!!! Are you the tall skinny black geek who trying to move in on Sage the other day/" laughed Danny.

"Who you calling a black geek...Jackass!!!" yelled Tay.

"Wow did your mommy teach how to say naughty words?  Get off the phone before you get hurt punk." said Danny,

"What don't come over to the arcade and say it to my face." snapped Tay.

"Little boy you do not want to get hurt again." laughed Danny.

"You don't know who you dealing with. I'll knock in the middle next week. You son of bitch." yelled. Tay.

Then Danny hunged up. Suddenly Jeron showed up.

"Dang Tay you look you about to hurt somebody." said Jeron.

Batman642

"That's just what I'm about to do," Tay told him as he headed for the Arcade exit door.

Jeron grabbed Lizzie's hand and they went after Tay.  "Wait up!  Where you heading?" he asked.

"I'm going to the Revolutioin," Tay said walking fast and heading for the bus stop.

"Tay, I think the Revolution is still closed from the quake damage.  And anyway, what's wrong with staying at the Arcade?" Lizzie asked as she tried to keep pace with Tay.

"I'm looking for Danny, and he' s probably at the Revolution.  He's the manager, right?"

"Well yeah, but why are you looking for him?  You want a job?" Lizzie asked.  "And what's with the attitude?"

"I tried calling Sage and Danny answered her cell and cussed me out.  Nobody talks to me like that!  Not anymore!  I ain't no little kid anymore and he's gonna find that out the hard way!"

"Oh, so this is about Sage!" Lizzie replied annoyed, as she stopped short and let Tay continue walking.

"Ain't we going with him?" Jeron asked as he stood with Lizzie and watched Tay get farther and farther away.

"Jeron, my brother is tripping BIG TIME over someone who's not even worth it.  He says Danny's gonna find out the hard way, but Tay's gonna have to learn some things the hard way too -- ALONE.  You can go with him if you want, but I'm going back to the Arcade," Lizzie said as she turned back and started walking.

Jeron stood in the middle of the sidewalk trying to decide if he should go with Tay to the Revolution or go with Lizzie back to the Arcade.
Candygwen

"Damn I love Lizzie & all but I do not want to see my boy Tay end up in the hospital." said Jeron as started to go after.

Jeron finally caught up with Tay.

"Say Tay wait up man." said Jeron.

"What!" snapped Tay.

"Tay you man I think you are making a big mistake getting in that dudes face plus Sage isn't even yours to beging with." said Jeron.

"So I'm not going to let him punk me out like that." said Tay.

"Tay I don't know what you are trying to prove but I think you made your point let just go back to arcades alright?" begged Jeron.

But Tay ignored him kept on walking.

"Oh come on man!!! Not over some coma/HIV girl." whined Jeron.

The two finally arrived at the Revolution but they found out it was still closed down and condemed because of the earthquake.

"You see no one is there lets head back yo." said Jeron.

"I'm going to wait for his punk ass." said Tay.

"Tay you are straight up trippin'.  No one is there and he ain't going to show up and niether will Sage." said Jeron.

"Look Jeron I have business to take care of so you want to help that fine but if you don't butt out." said Tay.

"Look Tay I'm trying to help you dawg.  I'm tell Sage ain't worth getting wild up for.  And suppose Sage does like in that way.  This is no way win her over.  If you get in that dude's face.  Sage will never forgive you.  Tay you alot better that so stoop to fool's level by starting a fight." said Jeron.

"That's funny coming from guy who gotten into a fight with Johnny last summer over Lizzie." said Tay.

"Hey I was stupid back then alright.  And now that Devin is back in Chicago I may have another shot at Lizzie.  I'm going to do it right this time.  I don't know what deal with you and Sage but I do know this if she ain't feelin' you the same way you feel her then you to step and find you a new girl.  A girl your own AGE & who isn't HIV positive.  And a girl who isn't a lesbo...yeah I heard youtook Devin's sister to her junior prom you big baller." said Jeron as cheered Tay.

"They prefered to be called Lesbians but I hear you dawg." said Tay.

"Well then lets head back before Lizzie start trippin'" said Jeron.

"Alright I call Sage another time.  Lets get some pizza at the arcade." said Tay.

"Now you feel me yo!!!  But you're treatin' though." joked Jeron.

"You know you ain't right Jeron." laughed Tay.

"Look who's talkin'!!!  You're the one got me running all the way to the Rev." joked Jeron.

"I didn't tell you to come over here with me." said Tay.

"Yeah but you still owe me." laughed Jeron.

The two laugh and joked all the way back to the arcades.

Batman642

When they got back to the Arcades, they spotted Lizzie across the room with another girl.

"WHO IS THAT????" Jeron asked, impressed at what he saw.

"Oh--her?  That's Kendra," Tay replied.

"YOU know HER???" Jeron asked, impressed by that as well.

"She's poison, man.  That girl is poison," Tay warned Jeron, who had started walking away from him and towards the girls.
Candygwen

"Hey girls whatup?" said Jeron as he approached.

"Who are you?" asked Kendra.

"The is Jeron and you must be Kendra." said Jeron.

"How did you know my name?" asked Kendra.

"One of boyz used to go out with you." said Jeron.

Then Kendra saw Tay.

"Tay longtime no see." said Kendra.

"Yeah not long enough." said Tay.

"Oh Tay are you still mad about what happened?" asked Kendra.

"You need help Kendra." said Tay.

"Hey man how about helping me to get to know Kendra a little better." said Jeron.

"Excuse you?" snapped Lizzie fuming with jealousy.

"Oops my bad I didn't about you uh uh uh." stuttered Jeron.

"Lizzie." she snapped.

"I was about hook you up with some pizza Lizzie and Tay is buying." said Jeron.

"Thanks Jeron you all heart." said Tay sarcasticly.

"Kendra you can join us if you want.  I'm sure Tay and Lizzie won't mind." said Jeron.

"HELL YEAH WE MIND!!!" snapped Tay & Lizzie.

"It'll be an honor Jimmy." said Kendra as she wrapped his armed around Tay.

Lizzie  was steaming as Jeron was drooling all over Kendra.

Meanwhile back at TGIF Cassie and the others decide to head back to the Marla's house.

"Bill aren't you coming with us?" asked Dana.

"Maybe another time.  I want to spend some time with my niece before I introduce her to Marla and Charles." said Bill.

"I understand." said Dana.

"Come on Robin my babies are dying to spend with you." said Cassie.

"Alright slowed down. I want to see my Godchildren more than anyone." said Robin.

Batman642

"And you don't have to worry about Charles," Cassie continued.  "He's painting at Granddad's house all day."

"Cassie, isn't it possible that Charles might come home early," Dana reasoned.  "Then what?  He gonna freak out when he sees Robin playing with his kids?"

Cassie frowned.  "Nooooo.  He knows Robin's in town.  He knows Robin is the godfather--he's not stupid!  I just have to remember not to keep Charles in the dark about things."

"So then why don't you ENLIGHTEN him and text him.  Let him know that Robin's gonna visit with Colin & Kalie," Dana suggested.

"That's not a bad idea, Cassie," Robin agreed.  "Better safe than sorry."

Cassie pulled out her phone.  "Fine.  I'll text Charles."
Candygwen

Charles recieved Cassie's text message.

"(Sigh) Great just great." muttered Charles.

"I something wrong Charles?" wondered Eddie.

"Cassie's special friend want to visit my children." said Charles sarcasticly.

"What's wrong with that?  Robin is the godfather." said Eddie.

"I know I know." said Charles rollin' his eyes.

"So why all the hate?" asked Eddie.

"I'm not hating!!! I just don't trust Robin at all." said Charles.

"Charles you have got squash this hatred you have toward Robin.  He is not the bad guy." said Eddie.

"I'm sorry Mr. Sutton!!! Robin maybe the perfect kid to you but to me he will always be a jerk.  A jerk who slept with my girlfriend." said Charles.

"Charles that was a long time ago." said Eddie.

"No offense Mr. Sutton there certain things you don't forget.  Come on how would you feel if one of Jenn so called male friends hung out alone together and they ended up sleeping together?" asked Charles.

"First that would never happened because I litarilly kill that person.  Anyway we would try to work it out and the thing that made this marriage work is trust. You have to trust them do the right thing." said Eddie.

"But sir I do trust Cassie but I don't trust Robin." said Charles.

"Charles, I'm sure you that Cassie will do the right thing and anyway I spoke with Robin about this yesterday.  There is nothing going between them.  Anyway I also told him if tries anything I'll kill him." said Eddie.

Charles started laughing.

Then Vera walked in wow the living room looks nice.  You guys really did a good job.

"Thanks baby it was alot hard work.  I never work so hard in my entire life." said Spencer as laying on the couch drinking his ice tea.

Batman642

Charles sent Cassie a text back saying it was ok for Robin to visit his godkids.

Cassie smiled, and showed Dana and Robin the text.  "See???" she said proudly.  "He IS changing!" she bragged.

"It's about time.  The dude only stabbed me, broke my nose and tried to shoot me at point blank range," Robin replied.

Dana shook her head.  "You white boys are something else!" she said to Robin.

Cassie giggled.  "Can we go please?" she asked them, getting impatient.

"Yes, let's go.  It was so nice of Marla to lend us her car, and I LOVE DRIVING IT," Dana admitted.

"I didn't realize you knew how to drive until today," Robin told her as they walked out of the restaurant and to the car.

"That's because I never had anything to drive!" Dana laughed as she anxiously hurried ahead to the car.

As they slowly walked behind, Cassie put her arm through Robin's arm.  "Thanks for the lunch," she told him.

"Don't mention it, Cassie.  After everything you've done for me, lunch is the least I could do."

"Don't say it like that, Robin.  You make it sound like you've gotta pay me back, and you don't.  That's not what our relationship is all about -- you know that!"

Dana had already gotten into the car and blew the horn impatiently.  "Come on slowpokes!" she yelled.

The two of them hurried to the car, and soon they were all on their way back to Mrs. Antoni's house.
Candygwen

Meanwhile back at arcades Lizzie, Jeron, Tay & Kendra was enjoying their pizza.

"So Tay where have you been?  I haven't seen you around in awhile." said Kendra.

"Well if you must know since our house was burned down we've been staying over a Cassie's boyfriend's house." said Tay.

"And I tell you it is paradise over there.  You should come visit an check out the crib." said Jeron.

"NO!!!" yelled Tay & Lizzie.

"Charles' mom don't allow guests in the house." said Lizzie.

"Yes she do." stunned Jeron.

Then Lizzie shoved a slice of pizza in Jeron's mouth.

"Eat your food." said Lizzie.

"Maybe I should come and stay with you guys." said Kendra.

"The house is full." lied Lizzie.

"No it not." said Jeron.

Then Lizzie gave Jeron the evil stare.  And Jeron continued eating his pizza.

Finally Nate was waiting outside to pick up Tay, Lizzie, & Jeron.

"That's Nate waiting for us.  We have to go Kendra." said Tay.

"Here's my number Tay.  Give me a call." said Kendra as she left.

"No thank you." said Tay as threw the number in the garbage.

"Dang Tay why are you hatin' on that girl?  She is FINE!!!" said Jeron.

Batman642

After they all got in the car, Tay continued the conversation.  "Jeron, I'm not hatin' on Kendra, but she's got alot of baggage, man."

"Such as?"

"She's an alcoholic, for one.  And she's loose."

"Loose is bad???" Jeron asked, amazed at his friend's reasoning.

Nate cleared his throat as he looked at them through his rearview mirror.  "Yes, Jeron. Loose is bad.  And who are we talking about anyway?"

"Kendra," Lizzie said from the front seat.  "I caught her and Tay playing strip poker during the earthquake."

"Get out!!!' Jeron remarked, impressed.  "How much did she take off?" he asked Tay, eyes bulging.

"I don't want to hear this, Jeron!" Lizzie complained.

"You just said yourself you were there, Lizzie!  You saw it for yourself, didn't you?" he asked.

"And I'd like to forget about it, believe me," Lizzie replied.  "Now can we change the subject?"

"Good idea," Nate agreed.  "I'll talk to you guys about Kendra when we get home, man to man. Or should I say BROTHER TO BROTHER?" he asked smiling.

Tay frowned, but Jeron smiled.
Candygwen

Meanwhile Cassie, Dana, & Robin arrvied at Marla's house.

Cassie got out of the car pulling Robin's hand.  As they got in the house the two ran pass Marla.

"Hey Mrs. A !!! Bye Mrs. A!!!  Robin & I are going to hang with the twins." said Cassie rushing pass Marla.

"What is up with them?" confused Marla.

"I'll explain later.  I saw your man today." said Dana.

"Bill?" surprised Marla.

"No Eddie Murphy!!! Of course Bill." said Dana.

"How did y'all ran into him?" asked Marla.

"Sit down and I'll explain." said Dana.

While Dana was talking to Marla, RObin and Cassie was in the nursery playing the twin.

"Colin, Kalie, looks who I brought." said Cassie.

"Uncle Robin." exicited the twins.

"Wow I can't believe how big they have gotten." said Robin.

Robin & Cassie spent the afternoon playing with the twins.

Batman642

By the end of the afternoon, Robin's spirits were higher than ever and the twins were exhausted. 

After he and Cassie put them down for a nap, they tiptoed out of the nursery and downstairs to the game room where they collapsed on the couch together, exhausted themselves.

"Whew!  I'm wiped out, Cassie.  How about you?"

"Yeah, Kalie and Colin have that affect on people.  They're really a handful, but I love them SO MUCH.  I can't imagine what my life would be without them," Cassie told him.

"You're so lucky," he replied.

She smiled at him, deep in thought.  "I know I am...." she agreed.

"But I'm luckier," he added.

"How's that?" she asked, not expecting him to say that.

"Well, you've got them, but I've got them AND you in my life."

"Oh Robin....you say such nice stuff!" Cassie laughed.

"I really mean it, Cassie. I'm not just saying stuff," he said seriously.

"I know you mean it, Robin.  And I feel the same way about you.  But right now, I just wanna close my eyes for a few minutes and get in a quick power nap," she said as she started to yawn.

"Sounds like a plan," he agreed as he rested his head on her shoulder.

Soon, the two of them were fast asleep in the game room, on the couch, alone.

Meanwhile, Eddie and Charles returned home from their paint job.  As they walked into the house, Eddie noticed lght shining from under the game room door.

"Hmm....what's the light doing on in the game room?" he wondered out loud.

"Tay's probably in there," Charles replied.  "He loves Guitar Hero."

"The kids went to the Arcade today. Didn't they get enough video games?"

"Well, now that you mention it, I don't hear anything.  I guess someone just left the light on," Charles said as he headed for the game room.

"I know this isn't my house, and I know your mom's a millionaire, but that doesn't mean we should waste her electricitiy and run up her bill," Eddie said.

Charles cracked the door just enough to feel for the light switch on the wall, not even seeing Robin and Cassie asleep on the couch.  He felt the light switch, turned off the light and shut the door.

"Problem solved," he told Eddie as the two of them went upstairs.
Candygwen

Meanwhile Robin woke up and notice the lights was out..

"Cassie...Cassie..wake up" said Robin ashe tries waking.

"Umm what." said Cassie yawning.

"I think the power went out in the house. I's dark in here." said Robin.

"Oh my God you're right." said Cassie.

"Wow if you were single right now imagine the opportunity." joked Robin.

"Get serious Robin we have get out and make sure the rest of blocked doesn't have a power outage." said Cassie as got up.

"I can't see a thing." said Cassie.

"Allow me!!! I was blind once remember?  I can pretty get around without seeing." said Robin as he grabbed Cassie's hand.

Cassie followed Robin as they to door and open it the rest of the lights were on.

"Hmm I think the fuse box must be blown out." said Robin.

"Or someone must've turned off the lights." said Cassie flicking on the switch.

"Hey don't look at me I didn't turned the switch off.  We both fell asleep on the couch." said Robin.

"Yeah someone must've not  had seen us and turned the lights off on us." said Cassie.

"It's a good thing they didn't locked the door on us." said Robin.

"Tell me about it.  Lets get out here before see us and gets suspicious." said Cassie.

Batman642

Meanwhile, Charles was upstairs expecting to find Cassie and Robin playing with the twins in the nursery.  But when he opened the nursery door, the twins were sound asleep and as Charles searched the whole second floor of the house, there was no sign of Cassie and Robin anywhere upstairs.

Charles was starting to get angry, feeling he'd been fooled once again.  He decided check in his mother's room and see if she knew anything.

"Hey mom," he greeted her as he opened her bedroom door.

"Hey.  Please knock next time," she instructed him.  "You of all people should know better than to open a closed bedroom door without knocking!"

"Come on, mom--don't start.  I'm sorry, okay?  Have you seen Cassie today?" he asked.
 
"Yeah, she came in here awhile ago with Robin and they were having a grand ole time with my grandkids!"

"They're gone now.  The kids are sleep, and they're gone!" Charles said, frustrated.

"Well, I don't know what to tell you, Charles," Marla replied.  "But WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T start bustin stuff  up in MY HOUSE.  Do you hear me?" she warned.

Charles sucked his teeth, disgusted and walked away from his mother without answering.  He went to his bedroom, undressed and took a nice.long, hot shower.

More than a half hour later, he came downstairs and heard Cassie's voice coming from the kitchen.  He went to the kitchen and found Cassie and Robin sitting at the table laughing and playing a game of cards.

"Charles!  Hi honey!" Cassie greeted him when he came in.  "How did the painting go?" she asked as she got up from the card game and went over to give him a kiss.

Charles backed away so that she couldn't kiss him.

"What's the matter?" Cassie asked, puzzled.

"Cassie, I've been home almost an hour already, and when I got home YOU WEREN'T HOME.  I want to know WHERE YOU WERE!" he demanded angrily.

"Yo, Charles, chill man!  We've been here all afternoon!" Robin spoke up quickly to defend Cassie.

"Stay outta this!" Charles yelled.  "This is between me and Cassie!"

Cassie was shaken up, not expecting such a blow up.  "Charles, I--we---"

"You can't even think up a lie this time, can you?" he challenged her.

"But I'm not lying!  We've been here since I texted you!  We were playing with the kids the WHOLE TIME!" she tried to explain.

"Cassie!  I told you--I got home close to an hour ago!  You weren't here!  I searched the WHOLE HOUSE!  YOU WEREN'T HERE!!  WHERE WERE YOU AND ROBIN?" Charles shouted.

Cassie was getting panicky, not knowing what to say, while Robin was getting angry.
Candygwen

"Will you lower your voice the twins are sleeping.  We were playing with them the whole the afternoon." said Robin.

"I thought I  told to stay out of this!!! Cassie Talk now before get very angry." snapped Charles as begining to scare Cassie.

"I SAY TALK DAMMIT!!!" screamed Charles as grabbed Cassie.

"HEY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! YOU LET HER GO NOW BEFORE I KICKED YOUR ASS IN YOUR OWN MOTHER'S HOUSE." snapped Robin.

"Robin don't..." frighten Cassie.

"Look I tell where me and Cassie was but you  need calm your ass down." said Robin.

"Alright tell me because it obvivious Cassie hasn't been honest with me these days." said Charles.

"Charles  I have not been lying to you." said Cassie.

"Yeah but you sure have done a great job of keeping things from me." said Charles.

"Look Cassie has not been lying to you.  We've been playing wtih the twins all day.  And afterwards we went to the game room to chill out." said RObin.

"THAT'S BULLSHIT!!! THAT'S FUCKIN'' BULLSHIT MAN!!!" yelled Charles.

"You need to watch your language. There are children present here." said Robin.

"Don't tell me how I should talk in my house. And there is no way you two were in the game room because I check and no one was there." said Charles.

"That because we fell asleep and didn't see us Jackass!!!" said Robin.

"We woke up when you turned off the lights." said Cassie.

"So you and Robin messed around again...I knew it I knew it all the along. How could do this to me." anger Charles.

"Charles nothing happened we just fell asleep and the lights were off we thought it was power outage." said Robin.

"So we checked everything was fine so got out of there before someone sees us and get the wrong idea like now." said Cassie.

"You expect me to believe this bullshit stor?  You two never went to paly with the twins.  You went to have sex behind my back and further more....

"Uncle Robin can you play with us some more?" asked Colin as he and Kalie watched them from upstairs.

"Daddy why are you yelling?" asked Kalie.

"I'm getting out of here." said Robin.

"Robin wait you need someone to drive you home." said Cassie.

"I can walk home thankyou.  Anyway I have a great time but I am getting tired of justifying myself to this jerk everytime we're alone.  So I'll call you tonight." said Robin as he left.

Then Eddie heard some yelling and picked up twins and went downstairs to see what was going on.  He saw Robin walked out the door.

"Hey what's going on? What's with Robin?" asked Eddie.

Batman642

"He was in the game room sexin' your daughter, that's what's up!" Charles yelled as he stormed out of the house also.

"Cassie????" Eddie looked at his daughter disturbed, wanting some answers.

Cassie was almost at the breaking point.  "No Dad!  It's not true!" she cried.

"When Charles and I came in, I thought someone was in the game room because the light was on. But it was so quiet, Charles just shut the light off and we went upstairs," Eddie said as he tried to put the pieces together.

"Robin and I were in the game room, Dad!"

"HAVING SEX????" Eddie asked, horrified.

"NO!!!!"

"Well then why is Charles so upset?" he asked, not knowing who to believe.

Cassie just threw her arms up in the air, defeated.  "Oh, just forget it!  Everyone's gonna believe what they wanna believe whether it's true or not!!!" Cassie yelled as she ran up the stairs crying.

When she got up the stairs, Colin & Kalie ran after her down the hallway, also crying.  Marla came out of her bedroom into the hallway.

"Hey, hey, hey!!!  What's going on here?  What's wrong with everybody?" she asked alarmed, picking up one of the twins.

Cassie picked up the other twin.   "Mrs A, I just can't take it anymore!!" she said choking back the tears.

"Don't tell me......CHARLES!" Marla replied.

"He's crazy!!!" Cassie cried.

"Oh, Cassie....." Marla sighed, trying to hug her while they both held a child, "Charles loves you."

"THAT'S NOT LOVE!!!" Cassie yelled back, scaring the twins and making them cry even louder.

Then Jenn and Dana appeared on the scene.  "What's all the drama?" Dana asked.

Jenn took the twin from Cassie.  "Cassie, honey, calm down.  You're upsetting the kids," Jenn told her as she tried to calm the child.

"I'm sorry, Mom.  I just can't help it....." Cassie sobbed.
Candygwen

"Cassie just take a deep breath and tell me everything that has happened." said Dana.

So Cassie calmed down and explain everything to Marla, Jenn, and Dana.

"And when we went downstairs to relax we both ended up fallen asleep.  We didn't realize how much the twins wore us out.  Then Dand and Charles came back and turned off the lights we both woke up thinking it was a power outage be we found out the switch was off so we turned it on and got out of there and we both wound up playing cards.  Then Charles came downstairs acting like a mad man and that's how this whole thing started. I swear to God that I did not have sex with Robin in the game room." said Cassie.

"Oh my God Cassie." said Jenn.

"You all have to believe me.  I promise you I did not have sex with Robin." said Cassie.

"Cassie I believe you." said Jenn.

"We all believe you.  You just need to stop putting yourself in situation like this. Now you know why I don't want you to be alone with Robin?" explained Dana.

"But Dana we didn't know we were that tired.  We were just relaxing to catch our strength because the twins wore us out." said Cassie.

Eddie was easedropping while Cassie was explaining.

Batman642

Eddie quietly walked away from the door and went back downstairs and out of the house.  As he got in his car, he noticed that Charles' car was gone.

"What a mess this whole thing is....." he said outloud to himself.  "I don't know who I should go after first -- Robin or Charles...."

Eddie started driving and decided that since Robin was travelling by foot, he had a better chance of catching up with him. 

As he drove, he kept on the lookout for Robin and after awhile, spotted him walking.  Eddie pulled over alongside Robin.

"Hop in!" he shouted to him.
 
Robin hesitated.  "I need to walk, Mr. Sutton.  I need to clear my head and cool off."

"You sure?" Eddie asked.

Robin nodded.

"Well, you need to know that this whole thing was a big misunderstanding, and Charles isn't totally to blame."

"How so?" Robin asked.

"Charles and I came home together, and he really didn't see you and my daughter in the game room.  He couldn't find you upstairs either, so.......well......what was he supposed to think?"

"Regardless, Mr Sutton, he was getting physical with Cassie.  Not cool," Robin informed Eddie.

"Oh yeah?  Well I'm gonna deal with Charles about that!  But I just wanted to let you know why he -- why WE thought what we thought."

"Oh so you were thinking it too?  Even after what I told you yesterday at the Restaurant??" Robin asked, disappointed.

"Actions speak louder than words, Robin.  Always remember that," Eddie replied.

Robin made a face and walked away from Eddie's car.  Eddie drove to the nearest bar to look for Charles.
Candygwen

Eddie was looking for Charles then he suddenly found Charles at a liquor store.  Charles bought a six pack of beer.  He sat by the sidewalk and started drinking until Eddie stopped him.

"You always think this is the answer to everything?" asked Eddie as he took the can of beer away from Charles.

"It makes me feel better." said Charles as he snatched it back.

"Charles watch it!!! I'm this close to feeling sorry for you." said Eddie.

"Now you know what Robin really like." said Charles.

"Charles it's not even liked that.  Robin is not that kind of a person." said Eddie.

"I figured.  Everyone wants to defends Robin as usual." said Charles.

"Charles I overheard the conservation with Jenn, Dana, & your mother.  I also had a talk wi
