Meanwhile back in Lincoln Heights Eddie was with the people who is going to fix up their house.

"So how long this will take for you guys to fix our home up?" asked Eddie.

"It won't take too long just a couple of weeks. This house needs a lot of work so I think we're going to get started now." said one of the Renovators.

"That's great!  I've been waiting a longtime for this." said Eddie.

"Do you have the money to pay us?" asked the guy.

"Yes, but I'll give it to you when I the work is finished." said Eddie.

"Deal." said the Renovator.

Meanwhile back at the house...

"So Jeron when are we going skating." asked Lizzie.

Batman642

"I guess we'd better find out what time is good for Nate.   He likes you, Lizzie--go ask him." Jeron suggested.

Lizzie ran upstairs and found Nate shaving in the bathroom. 

"Hey Nate!"

"Hey Lizzie.  Is Jeron behaving himself downstairs with you?" he teased.

Lizzie laughed.  "He's cool.  What time can we go skating?" she asked anxiously.

"Oh.......about that....." Nate sounded unsure.

"What Nate?  Don't tell me you forgot already?" Lizzie said starting to get disappointed.

"Oh no, no, I didn't forget.  I just got a call back from a job I interviewed for, and they want to see me again--in an hour.  So, I'm not sure when I'll be done with them," he explained.

Lizzie sighed.  "But you can still take us, right?" she persisted.

"I shouldn't be too long, Lizzie.  The rink stays open late anyway," he said trying to make her feel better.

"So when you go on your interview, just me, Tay and Jeron are gonna be here--ALONE?" she asked.

"Hmmmm.....good point," he said realizing there was a dilemma.  "I guess you guys will have to come with me and stay in the car."

"Why don't you take the boys and let me stay here?" she suggested.

"Nah....this is Mrs. Antoni's house--not yours.  I don't think it would be right," he decided.  "Tell Tay and Jeron to be ready soon--I don't want to be late for this interview."

"Okaaaaay......" she agreed reluctantly.

Meanwhile, back in Utah, Carmen is finishing up her visit with Robin.

"I'm so glad I got to come by and see you, Robin.  I didn't want us to just never see each other again after all we experienced together," she explained as she started to get up from her chair.

"I totally agree, Carmen.  We shared something really special that not alot of people ever do."

"And you know what, Robin?  I'm gonna share something else with you," she said as she started to take off the small diamond ring she was wearing.

"Your ring, Carmen?  I can't take your ring!" he objected.

She ignored his objection and put it firmly in his hand and closed his hand around it.  "You take this and give it to your girl--as a test.  Remember what I told you?  If she really loves you, she won't care that it's tiny--she'll love it because it's from YOU.  If she gives you a problem because she doesn't like it, if she says it's too small, then that will tell you ALOT about this girl's character, and you'll know she's not the one for you.  Believe me when I tell you this, Robin.  Trust me," Carmen advised him with a serious look on her face.

Robin thought about what she said.

"Remember, Robin, this is just a test.  She's not going to keep it.  But make her THINK she's going to keep it, just to see what's in her heart, okay?"

Finally Robin got the point.  "It makes sense I guess, even though I know Lulu is the real deal."

Carmen smiled.  "Love is blind, Robin."

Robin smiled back.  "I used to be blind Carmen--for real," he revealed.

She looked shocked.  "NO!!!" she reacted.

He nodded.  "Yeah, for real.  I'll tell you about it the next time we get together," he promised.

"Yes, good idea, Robin!  When I get my ring back from you, you can tell me all about it."

"That's a deal.  And don't worry, I won't lose your ring," he assured her as he put it on his pinky.

"I'm not worried.  I trust you, Robin," she said as she kissed his forehead.  "God bless you."

After Carmen left, Robin thought some more about her suggestion and decided it was a good idea, so he called Lulu and told her that he had a ring for her and couldn't wait to give it to her.

"Cool I am so looking forward to you giving it to me." said Lulu.

"It's probably something he found in a craxkjack box." said Tawanna.

"Shut up!" said Lulu as she hit Tawanna.

"I can't wait to get back to Sea School." said Robin.

"Me too!  You have been away far too long." said Lulu.

"I got to go! Talk to you soon." said Robin hanging up.

"OMG Robin got me a ring.  I can't believe it." said Lulu.

"Did he tell you what kind of ring it is?" asked Tawanna.

"I'm sure he got me a nice ring." said Lulu.

"Girl, as rich as that boy is he better get you the best ring." said Tawanna.

"I'm sure Robin will get me a decent ring." said Lulu.

"Don't you know anything about jewelry.  Diamonds are a girls best friend.  He better get you the best ring ever.  If it's tacky and cheap then you know a person true character." said Tawanna.

"You are rerally full of it." said Lulu.

"Hey I just looking out for you." said Tawanna.

"Tawanna, you know Robin is no baller." said Lulu.

"Well you better hope your boo isn't Scrooge McDuck." said Tawanna.

"Whatever." said Lulu as she ignored Tawanna.

Batman642

Meanwhile, Eddie is satisfied that the work on his house is going as planned, so he returns to Marla's house to touch base with Tay.

As he drives, he thinks about the last few words spoken between him and Jenn just before he left the house, and decides to call her to make amends.  Unfortunately, he gets her voice mail and has to leave a message:

"Heeeey....babe, it's me.  Where are you?  How come you're not answering your cell?  Call me back, Jenn.  Love ya."

Disappointed he hangs up.
Candygwen

Meanwhile Nate got dress for an interview and he took Tay, Lizzie, and Jeron.  As they arrived to place Nate offer the three to come in and wait for him.  But they want to stay and the car and listen to the radio.  As Nate left Lizzie, Jeron, & Tay in the car Jeron change station. 

"Now that Nate away we can finally pick up where we left off." said Jeron as he kissed Lizzie.

"Uggh most you two do that while I'm in the car?" said disgusted Tay.

"Tay if you don't like it then inside and wait with Nate." said Lizzie.

"Man I'm not going inside and be bored to death by waiting for Nate." said Tay.

"Then shut up then." said Jeron as he continued to make out with Lizzie.

Tay switch back the station on the radio and turned the volume up so he wouldn't hear Lizzie and Jeron make out.  As Tay was watching outside the car window he saw Danny with Giselle holding hands go into a restuarant.

"Guys...guys did you see that?  Sage's boyfriend is messing around." said Tay.

But Lizzie and Jeron ignored Tay and continued kissing.

"Man whatever,  I'm going to investagate this myself." said Tay as he got out the car.

Batman642

Tay nonchalantly walked up to the restaurant and took a few quick glances threw the window.  He saw Danny and Giselle sitting at a table laughing and talking and touching.  He decided he needed evidence so he took out his cell phone and walked into the restaurant.

"Can I help you young man?" the hostess asked.

"My Dad is parking the car and told me to wait here for him," he lied.

"Oh, okay.  You can have a seat on the bench there," she told him.

Tay sat in the waiting area on the bench and had a perfect view of Giselle and Danny although they were totally unaware of his presence.

He aimed his cell phone camera, took several pictures of Danny caressing Giselle's cheek, rubbing noses with her, etc... and then he quickly slipped out of the restaurant. 

He decided not to go back to the car just yet since Lizzie and Jeron were even worse than Danny and Giselle when it came to their public expressions of affection.  Instead, he called Sage to tell her what he'd just seen and done.
Candygwen

Meanwhile Sage was at home watching televison and her cell ring.  She found out it was Tay.  Sage was annoyed.

"What does he want now?" nnoyed Sage.

Sage refuse to answer because she want to watch her program.

"Sorry but Tay will have to leave a message." said Sage to herself.

"Damn why isn't Sage answering her cell?" frustrated Tay.

Then suddenly out of no where Nate showed up.

"There you are." said Nate.

"Nate I thought you still at your interview?" shocked Tay.

"I just finished my interview.  I was looking all over for you.  What are you doing here?  I told you stay in the car with rest." said Nate.

"Nate you see Sage's boyfriend." said Tay tried to explain but Nate interupted "Sage again seriously you need to find someone your own age.  Come on if your dad finds out you're here he'll have a fit."

"But Nate." said Tay tried to explain.

"Come on Tay." said Nate as he grabbed Tay and left the restuarant.

Batman642

Eddie got back to Marla's place and found that no one was at home and he still hadn't heard from Jenn.  Since Jenn wasn't returning his calls, he decided to call Nate.

Nate's cell rang while he was driving.

"Lizzie, get that for me please," he said.

"Hello?" Lizzie answered the cell phone.

"Lizzie??? Is that you?" Eddie responded, surprised.

"Hi Dad!"

"Are you at the roller rink already?" he asked.

"Oh....no.....Nate had some business to take care of first so we all went with him," she explained.

"Where's your mother?" Eddie asked, annoyed.

"She went to visit Aunt Vera--her and Natalie."

"Hmmmmm......" Eddie replied deep in thought.  "Put Nate on, will you?"

"He's driving."

"Well put him on speaker phone!" Eddie snapped back.

"Okay, okay!  You don't have to yell at me, Dad!" Lizzie complained as she put the phone on speaker for Nate.
Candygwen

"Hey Eddie whatsup!!" asked Nate.

"Nate where are you?" asked Eddie.

"I went for a job interview.  And I didn't want to leave the kids alone.  So I have to take them with me." said Nate.

"Do you know where Jenn and he sister un off to?" asked Eddie.

"I don't know but she seems to be stressed out and needed someone to talk to." said Nate.

"Figures.' said Eddie sarcaticly.

"Hey sorry for running off like that." said Nate.

"No big deal.  Let me talk to Tay for a minute." said Eddie.

"Alright here you go Tay.  Your dad wants to talk to you." said Nate.

"Hey Dad whatsup!!! Are we still on for today?" asked Tay.

Batman642

"Of course we are, son.  I'm home waiting on you!" Eddie said trying to sound as upbeat as possible.

"Great!  I know EXACTLY what I wanna do, Dad!"

Eddie was relieved to hear that because he didn't feel like figuring something out himself.  "So what's it gonna be, Tay?"
Candygwen

"How about you taking me fishing?" asked Tay.

"I didn't know you like to fish?" laughed Eddie.

"Well Grandpa always told me he used to take you fishing.  So I thought you can take me and teach me how to fish.' said Tay.

"Are you sure that is what you want to do?" asked Eddie.

"I'm positive." said Tay.

"Alright fishing it is." said Eddie.

Meanwhile Jenn, Vera, & Natalie was at the mall having lunch.

"So Jenn what is going on with you and Eddie?" asked Vera.

Batman642

Jenn sighed and rolled her eyes dramatically.

Vera couldn't hold it back and a little laugh escaped.

"Vera!!!" Jenn objected.

"Sorry Jenn, but you should have seen your face just now," Vera explained.  "But seriously, what's up with you guys?'

Jenn was quiet for awhile and then finally started talking.

"Well, you know that Eddie recently found out that he's Nate's father, right?"

"Yes, he found out right after the quake--I remember.  Nate was in the hospital when Spencer was in the hospital and you were telling me about it," Vera confirmed.

"Okay.  Well, now that he's Nate's father, it seems like he's forgotten all about being a father to Tay!  And it just makes me SO MAD!  How dare he put DANA'S SON ahead of MY SON!" Jenn complained.

"And I know you've spoken to Eddie about this, so what's his take on it?"

"Eddie's clueless.  He doesn't think that's what he's doing, but I see it with my own eyes and I know it hurts Tay.  Soon, he won't have a relationship with Tay and that's dangerous Vera.  Tay's getting to the age where he needs a strong male influence in his life.  If he doesn't get it from Eddie, Lord knows where he'll find it--out in the streets--in some gang."

"He's got Spencer to turn to.  The two of them are like two peas in a pod," Vera said as she tried to make Jenn feel better.

"I know, but he shouldn't have to turn to Spencer when Eddie is right there!"

"Well, Jenn, I don't think you should let this come between you and Eddie," Vera advised.  "Is everything good between the two of you?  Anymore lipstick on his face?" she asked, smirking.

"Vera, you're no help at all!" Jenn said slapping her hand playfully.

"Well, sis, what do you want me to say?  I remember that phone call you made on Thanksgiving Day, crying because Eddie had lipstick all over his face, soooooooooo...... anymore?" she repeated.

"No, Vera!  Okay?  No!" Jenn assured her.

"Well that's good.  Just be happy about that, and let Tay and Eddie work out their own relationship.  You know how guys are, Jenn.  They work things out on their own terms in their own way--they don't stress over stuff like we do."

"Ha!  You mean the way Spencer and Eddie have worked things out?" Jenn asked sarcastically.

"Their relationship isn't so bad," Vera reasoned.

"It could be ALOT better!" Jenn insisted.

"Well........what about you and Mom?  Y'alls relationship isn't so peachy," Vera challenged.

Jenn looked at Vera in disbelief.

"So you had to go there, huh?  But since you did, who's fault is it that mom and I don't see eye to eye?" Jenn asked.

Vera shrugged.  "I don't have a problem with Mom."

"Oh!  So you're saying the problem is ME???" Jenn asked with an attitude.

"Jenn, I'm not saying anything of the sort.  I merely asked a question," Vera backed off sensing an argument erupting.

Jenn could sense the same thing and didn't want to argue with her sister so she took a deep breath to calm down.

"It's kind of ironic that you brought Mom into this, because I called her to ask her advice," Jenn finally continued.

Vera looked surprised.  "Well good for you!  That was very big of you, Jenn, and I know it wasn't easy," she acknowledged.

"No, it wasn't.  I tried to be coy, but Mom figured out right away that Eddie's got a kid by someone else."

"Did she throw it up in your face?" Vera asked, concerned.

"Not too much.  She just told me not to try to play her for a fool.  That old woman is just too smart...."

Vera chuckled.  "So did she give you any advice?"

Jenn nodded.  "Don't expect Eddie to be perfect.  And don't take anything out on Nate," she replied.

"Well then there you have it, Jenn.  Sounds good to me," Vera concluded.

"It's easier said than done, Vera," Jenn admitted.

"Well try harder, Jenn.  You've got a good man--I always tell you that.  So don't blow it over stupidity.  Otherwise, you'll be sorry," Vera warned.

Jenn sighed as she thought about Vera's words.  "Thanks, sis."
Candygwen

Meanwhile back in San Diego Beverly decided to stop to by to see how Cassie holding up.

"Please don't leave me alone with those two kids." whined Judge Bradshaw.

"Come on those kids won't bite you.  They are perfect lil angels." said Beverly.

"They're Heethens and I am getting too old for this." said Judge Bradshaw.

"It wouldn't kill you to spend a couple of hours with those kids.  Anyway Cassie's friends Dana and Marla are here." said Beverly.

"That's what I'm afraid of." said Bradshaw.

"Now these ladies won't hurt you." said Beverly.

"Dana I can trust if that Boy's mother I'm worried about." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Come on now she seems like a nice lady.  Now you behave and treat these ladies like guests you here?" warned Beverly.

"I can't believe you giving me orders in my own house." said Bradshaw.

"Just be nice okay." said Beverly.

"Oh alright." said Bradshaw.

Batman642

When Beverly arrived at Charles' hospital room, she found Cassie and Charles playing a game of cards together.

"Oh how sweet......" she commented as she slowly stepped inside with a big smile.

"Grandma!!!" Cassie squealed, surprised.  She dropped her cards on the bed and jumped up to hug Beverly.

"You just forfeited, Cassie," Charles informed her.  "I won!"

Laughing, Beverly kissed Charles on the top of his head.  "Well I'm glad to see you're feeling much better, Charles," she remarked.

"Thank you.  I am--MUCH BETTER," he assured her.  "And it's good to see you too.  How's your husband?"

"How nice of you to ask, Charles.  He's fine--watching those beautiful twins of yours..."

"Cool.  They need to get to know each other," Charles replied.

"Grandma, I'm so glad you came!" Cassie told her as she sat back on the bed with Charles.  "Have a seat."

Beverly pulled up a chair.  "So Cassie, I understand you talked your grandfather into accommodating Charles when he's discharged?"

Cassie giggled.  "You know I've got Grandpa wrapped around my pinky!" she bragged.

Beverly nodded.  "Yes, I know, dear.  And it's fine with me if Charles stays to recuperate, but I wanted to talk with you about the house rules."

Charles and Cassie looked at each other and then at Beverly.  "House rules???" they asked in unison.

Beverly smiled but it was forced.  "Yes, guys.  HOUSE RULES," she repeated.

Charles leaned over closer to Cassie.  "Sounds like she's been talking to Dana, huh?" he whispered as he thought about their summer at the beach house.

Beverly frowned.  "Care to share, Charles?" she asked, not appreciating his bad manners.

"No ma'am........sorry...." Charles replied timidly.

"Wel then, as I was saying, these are the house rules...." Beverly continued.
Candygwen

"Both of you will sleep in separate rooms. Curfew is at 10pm and no and I repeat no hanky panky.  You don't want your grandfather to have a heart attack." explained Beverly.

"We promise...right Charles?" said Cassie.

"Yeah I suppose." said Charles not satisfied.

"Charles if you want to get on Judge Bradshaw good side you follow the rules." said Beverly.

"Alright I'll play your game." said Charles.

"It's a good thing we ain't staying long." said Charles to himself.

Meanwhile back at the Heights Jenn and Vera took Natalie to the park and soon Jenn got a call from Eddie.

"It's Eddie." shocked Jenn.

"Then answered him." said Vera.

Batman642

 Jenn looked apprehensive as she answered the call.  "Hi Eddie."

"Hey.  I've been calling you all day, Jenn.  Why haven't you returned my calls?"

"Sorry, Eddie.  Vera and I......well......you know how it is when us ladies get together," she said making an excuse.

"I was worried about you, Jenn!  I got home and no one was here!" Eddie continued.

"No one?" Jenn asked, puzzled.  "I left everyone there, Eddie," she explained.

"Yeah, well NOBODY was home, Jenn.  I finally got in contact with Nate and he said he had a last minute job interview and took the three kids with him for safekeeping."

Jenn let out a sigh of relief.  "That was smart of him," she acknowledged.

"Oh?  You've got something GOOD to say about NATE?" Eddie replied sarcastically.

"Eddie, I have nothing against Nate."

"Could've fooled me."

"I just don't like TAY playing second fiddle to Nate is all," she went on.

"Well you'll be happy to know that Tay and I are going fishing as soon as they get back," Eddie informed her.

"That's great Eddie.  That's all I needed to hear," Jenn assured him.
Candygwen

"Thank you." said Eddie.

"Now if you excuse me.  I still have a day to spend with my sister and Natalie." said Jenn hanging up.

"Well Jenn?" asked Vera.

"Well Nate went to a job interview and took the kids with him and Eddie is going to take Tay fishing when they all get back." said Jenn.

"You see I told there's no need to worry about.  Jenn you got yourself a good man.  You should trust him more." said Vera.

Meanwhile back at the hospital in San Diego.

"Hey Beautiful as soon as I leave the hospital we'll spend a day at your grandparents and the next day we leave for Utah." said Charles.

"Aren't you rushing things a bit Charles?" asked Cassie.

"It's perfect it's been put off for far too long." said Charles.

"Charles you heard what the doctor said.  You need to rest when you get out." said Cassie.

"I can rest in Utah." said Charles.

"Charles you need to follow doctor's orders." said Cassie.

"I am so sick of hearing all these rules." annoyed Charles.

"Come on Charles." said Cassie.

"Hey Cassie since it's my last night how about me and you fool around?" asked Charles.

"Charles we're in a hospital for Christ sakes." shocked Cassie.

"But baby I'm horny.  You need to take care of me." whined Charles.

"Charles no." said Cassie.

"Okay we don't have to do it today but what about later on this evening?" asked Charles.

"You know Debbie will be on patrol that night and I don't want to get on her bad side." said Cassie.

"I really want you beautiful." said Charles.

"Will this make you feel better." said Cassie as she kiss Charles.

The two started making out until Beverly return with some lunch.

Batman642

"I see you'll have trouble with the rules," said Beverly taking out the subs.

"Oh, I'm sorry Grandma. We us got caught in the moment", said Cassie aplogizing

"Okay...well I just hope those moments don't happen often," said Beverly.

Kate come through the door with wonderful news.

"Kate is everything okay? Have a seat so you can catch your breath!" said Cassie.

"I have great news for Charles," said Kate.

"What Kate?! What's the news?!!" asked Charles.

"You can leave tonight. The doctors have throughly examed your case, and they believe your ready to be released," said Kate.
Robertadamson

"Freedom!  Finally!" Charles shouted happily. "WoooooHooooo!!!!"

Everyone laughed and Cassie jumped up and down, excited.  "Oh thank God, Kate!  The twins are gonna be so happy to see their daddy!"

"Yeah, I'm sure, but I'm gonna miss you both," Kate admitted.

"Well, Kate, I ain't gonna lie to ya--I won't miss ANYTHING about this place!" Charles replied as he hopped out of bed and went to the closet to get his clothes.

"So I guess as soon as you get dressed we can leave?" asked Beverly.

"Yes, that's right.  So let's clear out so Charles can have some privacy," Kate suggested as she held opened the door.

"Cassie can stay," Charles replied quickly.

Cassie giggled and Kate rolled her eyes as she and Beverly stepped out.
Candygwen

"For a minute I thought I was about to go crazy." Charles admitted.

"Yeah I thought you would never get out of here." said Cassie.

"Cassie my offer still stands. Lets both of us including the twins leave for Utah tomorrow." said Charles.

"But what about my grandparents?" asked Cassie.

"Come on I can feel that I won't feel wanted around here." said Charles.

"But my granddad said he will keep his distance." said Cassie.

"I don't know Cassie.  Look I feeling much better now and I can even make the trip.  Just say you'll go with me." said Charles.

"I have to think about it." said Cassie.

Batman642

Meanwhile, back at the Bradshaw's house, the phone rings, the Judge answers it and finds out it's his wife on the other end.

"Beverly, when are you coming home?"

"As soon as Charles gets dressed.  He's being released and I want to let his mother know.  Would you put her on please?"

"He's being released ALREADY?" her husband responded, disappointed.

"Yes and your granddaughter's just thrilled.  But don't worry, I gave them a rundown on what we will and will NOT tolerate while they're under our roof," she assured him.

"Thanks, Bev.  I knew I could count on you," he said, relieved.  "Hold on -- I'll get Marla for you."
Candygwen

Marla came to the phone and Beverly told her the great news.  Marla was excited and happy that she got Dana and drove all the way to the hospital.

Meanwhile back at the Heights Nate return home and Tay got ready to go fishing with Eddie.

Batman642

Jeron watched quietly from a corner of the room as Tay happily gathered his belongings together for the fishing trip.

"You need all this?" he finally asked unable to keep quiet any longer.

Tay shrugged.  "I dunno.  I never been fishing before," he admitted. 

"Yeah well don't pack too heavy--you'll make the boat sink!" Jeron joked.  "Are you even goin out in a boat?"

Tay shrugged again.  "I dunno," he replied as he threw his back pack over his shoulder and headed for the bedroom door.

Jeron sucked his teeth.  "Well what DO YOU KNOW?" he asked annoyed.

Tay thought for a moment.  "I know my Dad is downstairs in the car waiting on me and ONLY ME," he replied, smiling.
Candygwen

"Have fun on your date with Lizzie.  Oh and Jeron don't get my sister pregnant." joked Tay.

"Very funny." said Jeron.

Meanwhile back in San Diego Charles and Marla was waiting for Cassie.

"Where's Cassie?" asked Dana.

"She's in the bathroom.  She's been in and out of the bathroom lately." wondered Charles.

"Oh Charles she just being a girl and putting on her make-up." said Marla.

Cassie finally came out of the bathroom.

"Well I'm ready." said Cassie.

"Good lets get the hell out of here." said Charles.

Kate roll Charles out of the room in a wheelchair.  Dana went to get the car.  Before they all left Kate wanted to have a word with Cassie.

"Hey girl I couldn't help but notice you were in and out of the bathroom." said Kate.

"Oh no I just feeling a little bit quessy that's all." said Cassie.

"And you sure you're not...well you know." concerned Kate.

"Of course not.  It was probably something I have ate that didn't agree with me.  That's all." said Cassie.

"Okay I take your word.  Here's my number if you ever feel like you need to talk." said Kate.

"Thanks I really appreciate that." said Cassie as she hugged Kate.

"I'm going to miss you Cassie." said Kate.

"I'm going to miss you too." said Cassie.

"You and Charles better take care of eachother." said Kate.

"I will." said Cassie.

Batman642

Soon, they arrived back at the Bradshaw's house and were greeted by the Judge, Beverly, Colin and Kalie at the front door.

"Daddy!!!!  Daddy!!!" Kalie screamed happily as she jumped up and down at the sight of her father.

Colin laughed excitedly, ran and grabbed Charles by the legs.

"Whoa Cowboy!!!" Charles laughed, trying not to fall over as he entered the house.  He lifted Colin up over his head and put him on his shoulders.

Kalie tugged at his pants leg.  "Do me Daddy!!! Do me!!!" she pleaded, a little jealous for his attention.

Cassie laughed and moved Kalie out of the way.  "Come on, you guys, let us in the door, will you?"

"Well one thing is for sure, Charles.  Your kids really love you!" the Judge remarked, amused at their excitement.

Charles put Colin down and shook the Judge's hand.  "Thank you, Judge Bradshaw, for letting my family stay here--and me too.  I really do appreciate the hospitality."

The Judge was surprised at Charles' good manners and just shook his hand and smiled, not knowing how to respond.

Kali, still struggling to get away from Cassie and get to her father, finally succeeded.  "Pick me up, Daddy!!!" she demanded.

Charles obliged, and lifted her up over his head and sat her on his shoulders as she giggled.

"Let's get these bags upstairs," Dana suggested to Marla.

"Yeah, the twins need time to bond with Charles," Marla agreed as she looked at the three of them playing.

"You coming up with us, Cassie?" Dana asked as she started up the stairs.

"I'll be up in a sec.  I've gotta go to the bathroom first," she replied.

"AGAIN/???" Dana remarked.  "You JUST went at the hopsital, girl!"

Cassie shrugged.  "Go figure," she replied as she turned and headed for the bathroom.
Candygwen

"I hope Cassie isn't coming down with anything." said Beverly.

"I hope not either." said Dana.

Beverly heard Cassie throwing up in the bathroom.

"Sweetie are you sure you alright?" concerned Beverly.

"Sure I just need to lay down for awhile." said Cassie.

"Okay you had a long day." said Beverly.

"Oh could you make me some pancakes later on?" asked Cassie.

"Cassie it's only 3 in the afternoon." said Beverly.

"What can I say I love pancakes." said Cassie.

"Girl you are so silly." giggled Beverly.

Meanwhile back at the Heights Jeron was getting ready for his date with Lizzie so he went to check on Lizzie but when he went to Lizzie door he peeped and saw Lizzie getting undressed.

"Damn she got one fine body." said Jeron as he was watching.

"I hope she picked the purple outfit." said Jeron.

Then suddenly Nate came on from behind.

"What you doing Jeron?" asked Nate.

"Umm nothing." lied Jeron.

Batman642

Nate put his hand firmly on Jeron's shoulder and led him away from Lizzie's door.

"Come on, it's time you and I had a talk -- brother to brother.  Or should I say man to man?" Nate told him as they walked down the steps and into the den.

Meanwhile, in Utah, Robin and Monica are in his hospital room packing his things for his return back to Sea School.

"Robin, what's that ring on your pinky?" Monica asks, curious as well as amused.

"Oh--this?"  Robin chuckled.  "Don't worry, I'm not turning fruity or anything."

"I didn't think you were.  But why are you wearing it?  It looks like a lady's ring to me."

"Yeah, well, it is.  It belongs to Carmen--the passenger who sat next to me on the plane.  She came to visit yesterday and left it," he explained, not wanting to tell everything.

"Left it?"

"Yeah, I'm gonna make sure she gets it back, though.  It's probably got some sentimental value even if it's not all that expensive," he said, hoping she'd change the subject.

"That's nice of you dear.  But since you're going back to Sea School, why don't you give it to me and I'll see that she gets it," Monica offered as she held out her hand for the ring.

Robin hesitated, not wanting to give up the ring and spoil the plan he had for Lulu.

"Mom, I appreciate the offer, but it's time I did things on my own--don't you think?  I mean, returning a ring--that's not too difficult for me to handle--is it?"

This time Monica hesitated and thought for awhile.

"You're right, honey.  I've got to learn to stop babying you.  After all, you're gonna be married man with a wife to take care of -- right?"  she laughed.

Robin smiled as he zipped his duffle bag.  "I'm ready."

The nurse came in with a wheel chair.

"I don't need that," he remarked as he tried to walk past her.

She grabbed him by the arm before he could get by.  "Sorry, dude.  Hospital policy," she informed him.

"Robin just do as they say, please," Monica urged.  "The quicker you cooperate, the quicker you get out."

Robin sighed, dejected as he sat in the chair with his bag in his lap.

"That's better," the nurse said as she rolled him out of the room with Monica close behind.

"I can't believe I'm finally getting out of this joint," he muttered.

"I'm just grateful you're alive," Monica replied.

(P.S. I'm not sure how much I'll be writing this week.  I'm going away & may not have internet)

"I am!!! I am very grateful.  I am blessed." said Robin.

"Don't forget you're going to pick up a award tomorrow for your heroric efforts." said Monica.

"I wish they wouldn't make such a big deal out of this.  I just did what anyone would have done in this situation." said Robin.

"Robin you need to stop being so modest." laughed Monica.

Then Robin started to think about Cassie and hoping everything is alright.  He is also hoping are still good between him and her.

Meanwhile back at the Heighs Nate was talking to Jeron.

Batman642

(Where are you going Candygwen?)

"Have a seat," he said pointing to the couch in the den.

Jeron slumped down on the couch, his posture very disrespectul.

"A'iight-- here's the deal," Nate began.

"I been through the sex talk with Uncle Jimmy if this is where you're headin," Jeron interrupted rudely.

"Is that so?"

"Yeah.  I know how to do it," Jeron assured him.

Nate chuckled.  "Well good for you.  What I'd like to talk about is how NOT to do it and why you SHOULDN'T do it.  How's that?"

"Oh no........"  Jeron moaned and groaned and buried his head in his hands.

"Don't worry.  I'm gonna make this short and sweet," Nate promised.  "Yesterday, Tay was wrong for runnin off like he did and leaving y'all in the car.  But don't think I didn't see what y'all were doin in the car!  And don't think I don't know what was going on upstairs a couple of minutes ago either."

"So?"

"SOOOOOOOOOO don''t act so surprised when Eddie wants me taggin along after you guys all the time.  It's obvious y'all don't know ANYTHING about control.  But lemme tell you this, Jeron.  I got a life too, and I don't intend to be folllowin behind you and Lizzie for the rest of my life, so you'd better LEARN how to control yourself AND FAST!  You got that?" he asked as he leaned over Jeron and poked him in the chest

"Ouch!" Jeron reacted.  "Chill man!  I got it, I got it," he assured his older brother.  "Geez...." he muttered as he got up from the couch and walked away.

"And stay away from Lizzie's room!!" Nate shouted as he watched Jeron head back up the stairs.

Meanwhile Eddie and Tay was at the lake fishing.  Everything was peaceful and quiet.  Eddie was having a good time but Tay was bored out of his mind.

"Man why did I agree to go fishing?" wonder Tay to himself.

"Tay isn't this fun?" asked Eddie.

"No!!! This is boring.  We've been out here for hours and we haven't caught a bite yet." complained Tay.

"Boy you young kids have no appreciation for the outdoors."laughed Eddie.

"Are there any fish in this lake at all?" asked Tay.

"Of course!!!  Oh yeah I almost forgot you're new at this. Let me help you out." said Eddie.

"Oh okay.  What am I doing wrong?" asked Tay.

"Well first of all you have no bait on your fishing hook." said Eddie.

"Oops...ugggh does fishes actually eat this stuff?" asked Tay being grossed out as he saw the bait.

"They do if you want to catch a fish.  And turn down the radio you'll scare away the fishes." said Eddie.

"But how am I going to listen to my music?" asked Tay.

"Nature is your music." said Eddie.

"Sorry I asked." said Tay.

"And most importantly good posture.  Keep the fishing pole steady and relax." said Eddie.

"This is ridiculous I ain't going to catch no fish." said Tay.

The suddenly Tay got a bite and it was pulling.

"OMG what should I do dad?" shocked Tay.

"Reel it in." said Eddie.

Tay was reeling a huge catfish and Tay was amaze and impress. 

"Maybe this fishing stuff ain't so bad afterall." said Tay.

Batman642
(That's good to hear)

Meanwhile, Robin and Monica have finally left the hospital and are in a hotel suite in Utah, compliments of the Airline.  As soon as Robin gets in his room, he sets up his laptop and gets online.

"What are you looking up?" Monica asks.

"I've gotta find someway to travel to the ship that doesn't involve air travel," he explains.

"Good luck....." she replied, shaking her head sadly as she walked away.
Candygwen

"There's no way he could travel in other transportation and he know it.  I have to get him on that plane." said Monica.

Meanwhile back at in San Diego Beverly was cooking over dozen pancakes.

"Wow those pancakes smell really good." said Dana.

"Yeah 'm making these pancakes for Cassie.  You know always loves pancakes ever since she was a little girl." said Beverly.

"Wow those pancakes is enough for everyone." said Dana.

Then Cassie came downstairs saw Beverly fixing the pancakes.

"Well looks who's up." said Dana.

"How did you sleep?" asked Beverly.

"I slept pretty well." said Cassie.

"How are you feeling?" asked Dana.

"I'm feeling much better.  All I needed is some rest now I am starving.  Are we ready to eat yet?" asked Cassie.

"Not yet sweetie.  Just a few more minutes.  I have to make as many panckaes as I can for everyone." said Beverly.

"Here's an apple Cassie to tie you over." said Dana.

"Thanks but my mouth is set on those pancakes." said Cassie.

"Charles is in the room playing with the twins." said Dana.

"Good I need to spend some time with him anyway." said Cassie as she left

"Wow I never seen her this hungry before." said Dana.

"It's been a long day." said Beverly.

Meanwhile back in Lincoln Heights Eddie and Tay was having fun fishing.

Batman642

"So tay, how do you like fishing son?"asked eddie

"Its great dad, no girls or drama but most of all no nate"said tay

"Dont be that way hes family son, and you and your sisters are my priority....nate's grown"said eddie 

"Alright dad, how often did you do this with dad?"asked tay

"A lot before my mom's death but after that dad just changed stopped doing lots of things. he stated to drink which is why i didnt want you to drink and be like grandpa"said eddie 

Meanwhile in san diego cassie ran to her room and was in shock because she knows shes pregnate again

"Omg how do i tell charles..........or should i tell him?"thought cassie  

americana876

"Wait a minute it's must be all in my head.  I can't be pregnant again.  I haven't even took the test.  I hope I'm not pregnant again." worried Cassie.

Then Beverly called down because the food was ready.  Everyone was at the dinner table and saw a huge stack of pancakes.

"This is the first time I actually had panckaes for dinner." laughed Marla.

"Girl I used scrabble eggs and waffle for dinner when I was a kid." said Dana.

"Hey beautiful you can sit here with me at the table." said Charles as he pulled out a chair for Cassie.

"Thanks Charles." said Cassie as she smile alittle.

"I got my eye on you boy." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Leave that boy alone." said Beverly.

"Where are the twins?" asked Cassie.

"There're upstairs taking a nap." said Charles.

Beverly served the food and ate.   Cassie took a huge stack of pancakes and drown it with syrup.  She was stuffing her face down with pancakes.

"Whoa slow down beautiful." laughed Charles.

"Yes honey there's plenty for everyone." said Beverly.

"Sorry." said embarassed Cassie.

"I swear Cassie you seem like you were eating for two." joked Dana.

Cassie was shocked when Dana made that comment.

"God I really I'm not pregnant again.  I don't know what to tell Charles."worried Cassie.

Meanwhile back at the Heights Tay & Eddie return towith a huge bucket of fishes. 

"Mom look what we  have here." said Tay.

"God you two smell like fishes." said Jenn.

Batman642

Eddie laughed.  "Well, Jenn, that's usually what happens when people go fishing!" he responded happily.

Jenn rolled her eyes.  "Please.....don't remind me," she said as she held her nose.  "Upstairs--now--both of you!" she ordered, pushing them out of the kitchen.

"But what about our fish?!" they both complained in unison.

"I'll take care of them, don't worry," she assured them as she continued to shove them towards the staircase.

"Jenn, you'd better not get rid of our fish!" Eddie warned.

"Now, Eddie, would I do something like that?" she asked mischeviously.

"Yes you would, Jenn.  I'm warning you, Jenn!"

"Mom, don't throw our fish away...." Tay whined.  "This was my first time fishing with Dad!"

Tay' pleas struck a nerve with Jenn. 

"Well......since this was your first time....OKAY.  I'll put them downstairs in Marla's freezer.  But don't think I'm gonna clean those jokers because I'm not Eddie.  So have fun doing it yourself--you hear?" she asked with her hand on her hip.

"Thanks Jenn," he replied relieved as he headed up to take a shower.

Jenn went back to the kitchen, picked up the bucket of fish and brought it down to the freezer in the basement.  While she was in the basment, her cell phone rang and when she saw that Cassie was calling her, she smiled.

"Cassie!  How's my girl?  Did everything work out with Charles?  How's he doing?" Jenn bombarded her daughter with questions.

"Oh mom....." Cassie sighed.
Candygwen

"I know I know I won't get up in y'all personal business.  I trust you two.  Tell me is your grandpa behaving himself?" asked Jenn.

"Yes things are cool between him and Charles...for the moment." said Cassie.

"Is everything alright Cassie? You sound kinda' down." concerned Jenn.

Cassie didn't want to Jenn that she maybe pregnant again.

"I fine just alittle tired." said Cassie.

"I know you had a long day.  Tell you what let me call you tomorrow so we can really touch base.  You get some rest." said Cassie.

Cassie lay down worried.  Then Lulu called.

Batman642

"Hey..." Cassie answered.

"Well don't be so excited to hear from me, girl!" Lulu teased her.

"Sorry, it' been crazy here, Lulu.  Charles just got out of the hospital today and the twins have been going nuts--they're so happy he's back with them and I haven't had a minutes rest, girl," Cassie explained.

"Well, at least Charles is back with you.  Thank God he's okay!"

"Totally!   It was touch and go for awhile, Lulu.  They even wanted to put him in the Psych Ward at one point!"

"No way!!!" Lulu replied in disbelief.

"I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy, girl.  But enough about me and Charles--how's YOUR FIANCE?" Cassie asked.

Lulu giggled.  "He's out of the hospital too, and  I cant wait til he gets back on the ship, Cassie!   He says he's got my ring already, girl--can you believe that?  How could he have shopped for a ring while he was in the hospital?" she asked excitedly.

"Money talks, Lulu, and your FIANCE is a millionaire--remember?  So, he can get the job done if no one else can," Cassie replied.

"I guess that's it then.  I hadn't thought about that," Lulu admitted.

"Now that you guys are in the money, your life is really gonna change, Lulu--wait and see," Cassie advised.

"Hmm....,.I wonder can Robin's money help get him to the ship without boarding a plane?"

"What?" Cassie asked, puzzled.

"He's terrified to fly now.  He didn't want me to fly back to the ship, but I wasn't hearing that, girl--know what I'm saying?"

"Oh....poor Robin," Cassie replied sadly.  "I feel sorry for him."

"Well, he just can't stop living because of a plane crash!  Accidents happen all the time--that's just life!  God!"

"Oh, Lulu, have a heart," Cassie replied sympathetically.

Lulu sucked her teeth.  "I have a HEART, Cassie.  And just for the record, while you're feeling so sorry for Robin, lemme tell you what he did to me!"

"What?"

So Lulu told Cassie about the hospital sex and her trip back to Sea School with no clothing.

"Girl, I was so upset by the time I got back, Tawanna had to help me take a pregnancy test!" she finished explaining.

"So.........ARE YOU???" Cassie asked, alarmed.

"Yep!  I sure am!" Lulu teased.

"OH MY GOD, LULU---NO!!!" Cassie screamed, panicking.

"Cassie!!! I'm KIDDING, you fool!  I'm not pregnant!  What's the matter with you?!" she scolded her friend  "God!!!"

Cassie tried to regain her composure.  "Oh!! HA HA!! My bad, girl!  I just didn't want you to have to go through what I've had to go through is all...." she tried to explain.

"Well, I'm okay, so chill......and just make sure YOU don't get pregnant AGAIN," Lulu advised jokingly.

Hearing her friend say that sent chills up Cassie's spine.
Candygwen

"Hello Cassie?!? Cassie? Are you still there?" Lulu asked.

"Yeah I'm still here." said Cassie.

"Are you alright...you've been acting really strange." concerned Lulu.

"I fine!!!" said Cassie.

"Cassie you should be happy for me and Robin." said Lulu.

"Lulu don't you think you and Robin are rushing things just a bit?" asked Cassie.

"We're going to wait until we graduate." said Lulu.

"But you two are still young." said Cassie.

"You act as if you don't want me to married Robin." said Lulu.

"I just don't want you and Robin to make the same mistakes Charles and I made." said Cassie.

"We won't and Cassie I really want you to be the maid of honor." said Lulu.

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

"But you're my bestfriend and it will mean alot to me.  Oh I gotta go talk to you later girl." said Lulu hanging up.

Soon Dana walked in.

"Hey Cassie come downstairs quick Robin is on tv and they are about to give him the award.  Don't worry Charles is in the room with the twins." said Dana.

"Alright be down in a second." said Cassie.

Cassie went downstairs to see Robin on televison.

Batman642

Everyone except for Charles and the twins gathered around the TV an watched as the President of the Airline stood with Robin on a stage in front of a microphone and handed him a beautiful, engraved plaque that looked like wings.

"Look at Robin!  He looks so handsome!" Dana remarked loudly.

Everyone shushed her, anxious to hear what was being said.

"Mr. Morgan," the President began.

"Robin.  Just call me Robin," he corrected him.

The President smiled and nodded.  "Alright, then--ROBIN.  It gives me great pleasure to be able to present you with the prestigious Safe Skies Award.  And I want to personally thank you for going above and beyond the call of duty, putting your life on the line to save a fellow passenger.  What you did is no small thing and should serve as an example for each and every one of us on how we as American citizens should perform during a crisis situation.  On behalf of the Airline, I want to thank you, Robin Morgan, and congratulate you and officially proclaim today Robin Morgan Day."

The two shook hands and Robin took the award and looked it over first.  Then he stood in front of the microphone and started to speak.
Candygwen

"Wow I really don't know what to say but it's an honor.  I never thought it was a big deal.  I just did what any other people would've done in a situation like this.  And I am happy I was able to try to save soemone life.  Because no deserves to die or get hurt like that.   Rather they are good or bad everyone has the right to live.   I want to thank everyone coming out and giving me the love.  I want to also thank three special ladies in my life my mom, my girlfriend Lulu and Carmen the person I have saved and given some good advice." said Robin.

Cassie was upset that Robin didn't mention her name.

"Wait a minute I such a goof.  I almost forgot their actually four special ladies in my life...Cassie my very special and true friend I want to thank her she really a good person and very beautiful inside and out." said Robin.

Everyone cheered for Robin.

Cassie was touched by Robin's words and got emotional.

Batman642

"Oh, Cassie....." Dana said as she began rubbing her back" he mentioned you on NATIONAL TELEVISION--BY NAME!"

"What a FINE BOY that Robin is!" the Judge agreed.  "He deserves all that and MORE after what he's been through!"

"Amen to that!" Beverly chimed in.

"Yes, Robin has been through alot," Marla agreed, "but so has my son--my Charles.  He almost lost his life saving Sage, but what did he get in return?  Nothing.  Not a thank you, not an acknowledgment, nothing--just threatened with being committed to the Psych Ward!"

"Marla, don't worry, Charles will get his props," Dana assured her.  "But right now this is about ROBIN, so don't go raining on his parade!"

"Mrs. A is right," Cassie finally spoke up.  "Robin's a wonderful person and I'm happy he's getting all this love, but Charles is too and people are always hating on him!"

She got up suddenly and started to leave, but Judge Bradshaw caught her by the arm.  "Hold on there, young lady," he said stopping her.

"Grandpa, not now, please!" she said as she tried to yank her arm out of his grip.

"Yes, NOW," he insisted.  "I just want you to understand that I don't HATE Charles.  But I do hate what he's done to you by loading you down with, not ONE, but TWO kids to take care of for the next 18 years.  That's what I hate," he clarified.

"Excuse me, but Charles had some help making those two kids," Marla interrupted in her son's defense.  "Cassie wasn't exactly raped you know!"

Everyone in the room gasped at Marla's outburst, as Cassie pulled away from her Grandfather's grip and fled from the room, crying.
Candygwen

"I hope you're happy." said Judge Bradshaw sarcasticly.

"ME!?!  I did I do?" snapped Marla.

"You ruined a good moment by throwing that no good son of yours i the mix." snapped Judge Bradshaw.

"WHO YOU CALLING NO GOOD?  MY SON IS JUST AS WONDERFUL AS ROBIN!!!" yelled Marla.

"Oh yell sure by knoking up my granddaughter and breaking her heart million of times." angered Judge Bradshaw.

"Look Robin is no angel either." said Marla.

"Marla that's enough." said Dana.

"Robin is the best thing that has ever happened to Cassie." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Oh Please." said Marla.

"Everyone stop it." said Beverly.

"I should've known better to let you and that little trouble maker you call a son into my house." said Judge Bradshaw.

"DON'T YOU BE JUDGING MY SON CHARLES!!!  YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT HIM!!!" yelled Marla.

"Bradshaw apologize at once!" warned Beverly.

"Beverly please that boy and his mother are both trash." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Who you callin' trash you old miserable geezer." upset Marla.

"You!!! You trailer park whore!!!" angered Bradshaw.

"ALRIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!  YOU BOTH NEED TO CALM DOWN BEFORE YOU ALL SAY SOMETHING YOU WILL REGRET!!!" snapped Beverly.

"I want you and that boy of yours out of my house first thing tomorrow." warned Judge Bradshaw.

"I'll be glad to." said Marla as she storming upstairs.

Batman642

When Marla got upstairs, she found Charles and Cassie in the room with the twins engaged in a heated discussion.

"Cassie!  Beautiful!  Would you please just TELL me what went on downstairs?!" he asked alarmed, as she hurriedly began packing the twins' clothing.

"Charles, it doesn't matter--OKAY?  Look, you WON--OKAY?  I'm ready and willing to go with you to Utah TONIGHT--OKAY?" Cassie shouted and cried.

"Calm down, Cassie!  You're gonna wake the kids!" he reminded her.

"Charles, did you hear ANYTHING I just said?  I want us ALL to leave here together tonight!  The kids are gonna have to wake up ANYWAY!"

Marla stepped in the room with them.  "Cassie, you know I have nothing against you--right?  What I said downstairs--it just came out wrong is all," she apologized.

"I know, I know, Mrs. A, but Charles and I -- we can't stay here," Cassie replied as she continued packing.

"Cassie, YOU don't have to leave!" Marla objected.  "Mr. Bradshaw wants me and Charles out by tomorrow!"

"Mom! What did you say to Mr. Bradshaw to get him so angry so fast?!" Charles accused angrily.

"Believe it or not, Charles, EVERYTHING IS NOT ALWAYS MY FAULT!" Marla snapped back.

"Charles, please help me pack!" Cassie demanded as she continued to get more upset.

Charles threw his arms up in the air in despair.  "YO!!!!" he yelled loudly, startling everyone, including the twins who woke up crying. "WOULD SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON HERE???!!" he demanded.

Just then, Dana came bursting into the room with them and shut the door behind her in a panic.  "Good God, what are you guys doing up here?!"

"Cassie's packing!  She wants her and Charles and the kids out of here tonight!" Marla explained anxiously.

"Cassie!!  What????  Where are y'all going in the middle of the night?!" Dana nervously tried to reason with her.

"Charles wanted to go to Utah ANYWAY, so we're going NOW!  I'm not staying here after what that man said to me!" Cassie told Dana.

Dana looked on helplessly as Cassie finished packing, realizing she couldn't talk her out of anything in her present state of mind. 

Charles grabbed Dana by the shoulders.  "Dana, what's everyone so upset about?!  What went on downstairs?!" he asked, desperate to know.

Dana couldn't bring herself to tell him.  "Go ask the Judge if you really want to know," she replied, worried.

Without any hesitation, Charles stormed out of the room and headed down the stairs to find Judge Bradshaw.
Candygwen

As Charles stormed into the room, everyone was startled by his hostile presence.

"Mr. Bradshaw, with no intending disrespect, I would really like to know why World War 3 his happen in the nursey up there. Did you have any involvement in this uproar?" asked Charles.

"YOU DAMN RIGHT!!! i WANT YOU AND YOUR WHITE TRASH FAMILY TO GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!" yelled Mr. Bradshaw as he  screamed in Charles's face.

"Daniel!!" yelled Beverly in suprise.

"What did you call my family!!!" said Charles as he tighten his fist, ready to punch.

"Charles NO!! He's not worth it. Come on," said Cassie pulling outside.
Robertadamsonlover

"Cassandra Sutton, do you hear what you're saying?!  You're putting HIM over your own flesh and blood?!" her grandfather shouted in disbelief.

"Me?!  Grandpa, you said I'm loaded down with my babies for 18 years!! How could you SAY such a thing?  I LOVE my babies ad I LOVE Charles too and HE LOVES ME!" Cassie argued back hurt and angry.

"Who loves you more, Cassandra?  I'm your grandfather for Christ's sake!  Don't make a fool of yourself over this trailer trash!"

That was the straw that broke the camel's back, and Cassie let out a scream as she picked up her crying daughter and ran with Kalie in her arms to Charles' truck parked in the driveway.  Marla followed close behind with Colin in her arms and Charles followed with the bags that Cassie packed.  As they put the twins in the car seats and the bags in the trunk, Beverly and Dana came out to try to get them to change their minds about leaving in the middle of the night.

"Cassie, you know how your grandfather gets when he's upset!  He didn't mean half of what he said--you know that!"

Cassie ignored Beverly's pleas and grabbed her and hugged her.  "I'm sorry, Grandma, that this had to happen.  I love you and thanks for letting us stay," Cassie said before getting into the passenger seat.

"But where are you going???" Beverly begged.

"We're going to Utah, Grandma.  Charles has an uncle there we can stay with," Cassie shouted out of the window as Charles started backing out of the driveway.

"Be careful, Charles!  Drive safe!  Marla, Cassie, I love you both!!!" Dana yelled as they drove away.

Cassie leaned out of the window as far as she could and waved goodbye to Dana and Beverly until she couldn't see them anymore.
Candygwen

"Don't worry beautiful it just going to be me and you this time.  No one is going to keep us apart." said Charles.

"How could this man say such horrible things to us?" hurtful Marla.

"Maybe we overreacted we should tun back." said Cassie.

"No wa her insulted me and my mother.  And I am not going to stay around and take that crap from him." said Charles.

"Charles I love you and I know what he did was out of line but he is still my grandpa." said Cassie.

"And your whole family hates me." said Charles.

"That's not true Charles and you know it." said Cassie.

"Cassie I am sick and tired of getting alot of flack from everybody about our relationship." said Charles.

"Alright everyone calm down.  You're upsetting the twins.  I just want to go to Utah and pretend this never happened." said Marla.

Then suddenly Cassie felt a sharp pain in stomach and the pain was getting worse and worse.

"Oh OMG Charles take me to hospital...Owwww" said Cassie crying in pain.

"Cassie whats wrong?" confused Charles.

"Owwww CHARLES PLEASE GO NOW!!! OH GOD THE PAIN OWWWW!!!'  screamed Cassie.

Charles soon rushed Cassie to the hospital.  Kate saw Cassie crying  and screaming in pain.

"What's going on?" worried Kate.

Cassie rush into the bathroom throwing up.

"What is wrong with her?" worried Marla.

"I'm going to find out now.  You two wait in the lobby." said Kate.

Kate went inside the bathroom to check on Cassie and she then saw Cassie aying near the toliet and she was bleeding all over the place.  Kate rush out and called for emergency.  The Paramedic rush and got Cassie.  Charles and Marla was frightened and scared Cassie was going to die.  As they rush to the emergency room Cassie passed out. Several hours later Cassie woke up in the hospital bed.

"Hey." greeted Kate.

"Kate whats going on? Why am I in here?" confused Cassie.

"Cassie we need to talk." said Kate.

"Why what's wrong with me?" confused Cassie.

"Nothing you're fine but your unborn child isn't." said Kate.

"What?" shocked Cassie.

"Cassie you had a miscarriage." said Kate.

Batman642

Cassie sat up in the bed quietly for a few seconds, dumbfounded.

"Cassie?  Did you hear what I said?" Kate asked.

Cassie nodded as she cried quietly.  "Yes, Kate I heard you."

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Kate asked sympathetically as she rubbed Cassie's back.

"Kate, where's Charles?  Does he know about my miscarriage?" she asked worried.
Candygwen
"No he doesn't and neither does his mother." said Kate.

"Good please you can't tell Charles about my miscarriage." said Cassie.

"Cassie he has to find out." said Kate.

"No he don't." said Cassie.

"Cassie he's the father of your unborn child.  I has to know.  I'm sure he'll understand." said Kate.

"That just it Charles isn't the father." said Cassie.

"Then who is?" confused Kate.

"Robin!" said Cassie very slowly.

"What you mean that nice young man you were telling me about.  But that's impossible you said you two messed around on the ship a long time ago." said Cassie.

"Yes...but I haven't really straight with you.  You see this suppose to be kept secret.  While Charles was in the hospital I snuck out the house and slept with Robin at the hotel." said Cassie.

"CASSIE!!!" shocked Kate.

"It wasn't Robin's idea.  It was mine. I planned the whole thing.  You see Robin came here for asked my Granddad for renovation and Robin did not want to stay at the hous for alot of reasons.  He wanted to keep our relationnship on a friendship level.  However Charles and I relationship was on the rocks and Robin is the only one I can come to.  Robin even tried to put me out the hotel." said Cassie.

"Can you blame him?  Cassie what were you thinking?  You two have no business sleeping together." said Kate.

"I know. Charles and I are just working somethings if he hears this it will destroy him.  That's why you can't tell him." said Cassie.

"I don't know about this Cassie." said Kate.

"Please you saw how Charles went crazy.  For Charles sakes as well as other don't tell him.  There's no telling what Charles may do." said Cassie.

"Alright fine I'll won't tell Charles about Robin.  I just tell him that it his baby but you need to tell Robin about this because he's going to know sooner or later." said Kate.

"Thank you!" said Cassie.

Batman642

After their conversation, Kate left and Charles finally got a chance to see Cassie.

"Hey, Beautiful," he said as he carressed the side of her face.  "You had us all scared to death."

"Sorry.  But I'm okay, Charles, don't worry."

"No one will tell me anything, Cassie.  I STILL don't know what was wrong with you," he complained.

"Charles, do you know what fibroids are?" Cassie asked.

"No, Cassie, but was that the problem?"

"Yes.  Fibroiid tumors can be very painful and cause bleeding.  Apparently I had one and it ruptured," she lied.

"Are you sure yo
