Posted by americana876 on Monday, September 14, 2009
Pick up from 46.
Just then, a cab pulled up to the front of the Antoni home.
"Expecting someone?" Sage asked Charles as they both watched to see who would step out of the car.
"No I'm not. Today is just full of surprises," he replied.
Giselle hopped out of the car and saw Charles standing at the top of the steps at the front door.
"Hey Chuckie!!!" she greeted him waving and smiling.
"Chuckie???" Sage remarked suspiciously to Charles.
"It's not what you think," Charles told Sage as Giselle started up the steps towards the two of them.
Sage looked doubtful.
"Oh I think this is EXACTLY what I think! I can't believe you're creeping behind Cassie's back!" she accused him.
Giselle got up to the front door.
"I'm so glad you're here, Chuckie! I could use a friend right about now," she said as she looked at Sage oddly.
Charles introduced the two girls to each other.
"Weren't you at the Tribute show last night?" Giselle asked Sage.
"I was one of the performers," Sage bragged proudly.
"Look you two, I've got kids inside to watch," Charles interrupted. "What's the deal Giselle?" he asked impatiently.
"Well then at least let me come inside, Chuckie! I'm in trouble!" Giselle fussed as she rudely pushed her way past Charles and walked into the house.
Sage was impressed with Giselle's nerve and followed her inside the house.

"Alright Giselle what's the deal?" asked Charles.
"It's kinda' private." said Giselle.
"Sage do you mind?" asked Charles.
"Uh yeah." said Sage.
"Sage please! If you going to hang around here at least make yourself useful and keep an eye on the twins." said Charles.
"Charles what am I going to do with these rugrats?" asked Sage.
"Where they haven't had their breakfast yet. Fix them a bowl of cereal or something." said Charles.
"Alright...come on Auntie Sage is going to take care of you." said Sage.
"YOU'RE NOT OUR AUNTI!! YOU A MEAN O LADY TRYING TAKE DADDY AWAY FROM US!!" snapped Kalie as she stomped on Sage's foot very hard.
"OWWWW YOU LIL BRAT I'LL KILL YOU!!" screamed Sage in pain.
"YOU LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE YOU MEANIE!!" snapped Colin as he stomped on Sage other foot very hard.
"OWWWWW ARE YOU TWO CRAZY!!!" screamed Sage hoping in pain.
"KALIE! COLIN! THAT'S NOT NICE!!! YOU TWO KNOW BETTER THAN THAT!!! Sage are you alright?" asked Charles.
"I'm fine!" said Sage rubbing her foot.
"I want you two to aplogisze now." said Charles.
"Sorry!" said Colin & Kalie.
"I have no idea what has gotten into them. It's not like them to act like that." said Sage.
"It's alright Charles...they are just kids and I love them so much." said Charles.
"Giselle I'll be with you in a minute. I better help Sage feed the twins before they kill her." said Charles.
"Sure take your time Chuckie!!!" said Giselle.
"Chuckie!?!" wondered Sage.
"Don't asked." said Charles.
The two took the twins to the kitchen and fed them breakfast while Giselle turned on the televison. So she can keep her mind off of things. Meanwhile Jenn and the ladies was at the mall shopping.
Batman642
After catching a terrific sale at Victoria's Secret, they all decided to take a break at the food court.
"Mmmmm......I smell Cinnabons!" Lulu moaned, practically drooling. "And I luv me some Cinnabons!"
Cassie giggled. "Some things never change, do they?"
"Well you'd better be careful eating Cinnabons Lulu, or that nice figure of yours is gonna change!" Dana warned.
"Yeah, and then you'll be a fat bride!" Lizzie teased.
"Hmph! Not me! Not on your life! I'm gonna look GOOD for my Boo!"
"If anybody knows about these things it would be my mom and Kate---they're both nurses," Cassie added. "So what's the verdict---should she lay off of the Cinnabons or not?" she asked them.
"Lulu looks just fine the way she is," Kate replied, "so I say go for it, girl. You only live once!"
Jenn nodded. "I second that. You never know what tomorrow may bring."
"Well I say watch that figure girl!" Dana added. "Leave them Cinnabons alone!"
Lulu waved her hand at Dana playfully. "Ba Humbug to you too! This is our day! I'll diet tomorrow! Come on y'all!" she said as she ran to get on the line.
"Well I'm with Dana," Marla said. "I've gotta watch my figure!"
Jenn laughed. "Marla, one night of Salsa dancing with Bill will take that Cinnabon right off of your hips!"
"No thank you---I don't want to take any chances," Marla replied as she stood back with Dana and watched the rest get on the Cinnabon line.
Dana grabbed her hand. "I'm proud of you, girl," she told Marla.
"Thanks!"
"And by the way.....is everything going alright with you and Bill?" Dana inquired curiously.
"Sure, everything's fine. Why do you ask?" Marla wanted to know.
"Well it's just that I was kind of surprised that he brought you home after the Tribute. I thought you would have stayed at his place," Dana remarked.
"Oh.......well........maybe I would have if Charles hadn't scared me half to death with is rib attack," Marla explained.
"How did Bill take it when you decided not to stay?"
"He was disappointed at first, but then he was fine with it after I explained everything."
"So when is your next date?" Dana asked excitedly.
"Not soon enough!" Marla replied anxiously.
Just then her cell phone rang and she struggled to get it out of her purse. When she looked at the caller i.d. she gasped.
"OMG, Dana----it's HIM!!" she announced, amazed.
Dana squealed, happy for her friend. "Hurry up and answer it dummy!" she urged Marla.
Marla took a deep breath and then flipped open her phone. "Hello?" she answered.
Candygwen
"Marla you have to help me." said Bill.
"Bill are you alright?" asked Marla.
"No I'm not! It's Giselle. I'm losing her." said hurt Bill.
"Losing her...you're not making sense. What's going on?" confused Marla.
"I decided to take your advice and talk to Giselle about Sage and her relationship with Danny. I also talk to her about Danny maybe HIV so I wanted her to get tested." said Bill.
"How did she take it?" asked Marla.
"Not too good!!! She doesn't believe me and she stormed out the house. And I am afraid that Giselle is going to do soemthing stupid or worst go back to her old ways." panic Bill.
"Bill calm down have you tried contacting her on her cell?" asked Marla.
"I did that but she is not answering me." said Bill.
"Oh Bill!!" said concerned Marla.
"What's going on?" asked Dana.
"Bill is in a crisis. And I don't know what to do." said Marla.
"What are you two chattering about?" asked Jenn.
"Jenn just to person I want to see." said Marla.
"Huh?" asked Jenn.
"Bill, Jenn will help you out just tell her problem and she'll straighting it out. She is good at this. She has crisis all the time with her kids." said Marla.
"Thanks...I think" said Jenn.
"Put her on the phone." said Bill.
Batman642
Marla handed Jenn the phone.
"Hey Bill, how are things?" Jenn asked a bit puzzled.
Bill explained everything to Jenn, not allowing her to get a word in edgewise.
"Wow!!" she replied when he finally finished his saga. "That was a mouthful!"
"I'm at my wits end here Jennifer! I've never had to deal with a teenaged girl before, and Giselle is a handful to say the least!" Bill complained.
"I think in the near future you and Eddie need to get together to compare notes---he's got TWO teenaged girls! But for now, unfortunately, all I can say is either go out and look for her or stay by the phone. There's not much else you can do, Bill. She hasn't been missing long enough to be considered a missing person---I know that because I'm a cop's wife. And if she refuses to answer your calls---what can you do? Unless......"
Suddenly, Jennifer got an idea.
"Unless? Unless what?" he asked anxiously.
"If someone else calls her number. That way it won't say your name on her caller ID and she'll answer it."
"Perfect! I knew I could get some help if I called Marla!" he replied happily.
"Now who could we get to call her?" Jenn asked Bill. "Someone she'd be willing to talk to....."
"Well I would say Danny, but I beat him up last night so I'm pretty sure he won't do me any favors," Bill replied.
"Anyone else?" Jenn asked.
"Not anyone I can think of. She's pretty much of a loner these days. Although......"
"Yes???"
"Well, she has always liked that Antoni character---the one who assaulted her at the beach!" he said angrily.
"Now hold on there a minute, Bill! You're talking about my future son-in-law and MARLA'S SON!" Jenn reminded him.
"I apologize," he muttered.
"Now you and I both know that Charles did NOT assault Giselle at the beach. She made the whole thing up!" Jenn continued.
"Supposedly," he muttered.
"She ADMITTED she lied, Bill. And almost got Charles thrown into jail I might add! If anyone's a character, it's Giselle!"
"Alright, alright! We're not getting anywhere arguing about Charles and Giselle!" Bill snapped. "I guess if we got Charles to call her phone, she'd answer it," he admitted.
"Okay then, give me Giselle's number and I'll have Marla get in touch with Charles and explain the situation and if he's able to reach her, he'll let us know and then we'll let you know. How's that?" Jenn asked.
"I'd appreciate that very much. Thank you Jennifer," he said after he gave her Giselle's number.
Marla and Dana were anxiously waiting for Jenn to explain things.
"Marla, do you think you can get Charles to call Giselle's number and find out where she is?" Jenn asked, handing Marla the number.
Marla shrugged. "I can give it a try," she replied as she called her son at home.
Candygwen
Meanwhile back at Marla's house Charles and Sage was feeding the twins.
"Come on Kalie just one bite. For Auntie Sage." begged Sage.
Kalie shook her head no.
"She hates me." whined Sage.
"No she don't. They just don't know you that well." said Charles.
"I knew me when we went out together that time." said Sage.
"That was last year and they were a couple months old then." said Charles.
Suddenly Charles heard the phone ring. He picked up and it was Marla.
"Mom?!?" surprsied Charles being off guard.
"Nice to hear from yo too." said Marla.
"Great this day gets more and more complicated."muttered Charles.
Charles peeked to check on Giselle. He saw her watching televison.
"Sage I'm going to take this phone call in the game room. Finished feeding the twins." said Charles.
"Charles please don't leave me alone with them." scared Sage.
"Sage they just babies they not going to bite you. You'll be alright." said Charles.
Charles left the kitchen moments later Colin threw cereal oats at Sage. And the twins laughed.
"Keep it up lil boy and you will not going to see your next birthday." threaten Sage.
The twins stuck their tounge out at Sage and gave her a raseberry.
"I am so not ready for this mother thing." whined Sage.
Meanwhile Charles was in the gameroom talking to his mother.
"Mom whatsup!?!?" asked Charles.
batman642
"Hey honey....." Marla said, trying to sound nonchalant at first to avoid arousing his suspicion.
"Yeah, yeah, hey. What's up? I'm trying to feed the kids," he rushed her.
"Is everything okay?" Marla asked sweetly.
"Like I said, I'm kinda busy right now, Mom. Was there something???" he hinted.
"Well......yes honey. Write this number down, Charles, and call it for me please?" she asked sweetly again.
"What??? Why can't YOU just call it?" he asked, totally baffled.
"Don't ask so many questions, Charles! Just get a pen, write this number down and find out where this girl is for me," she demanded not so sweetly anymore.
Charles groaned as he scrambled around looking for a pen and paper in the game room.
"Hurry up Charles!" Marla bossed him losing patience.
"Alright, alright! Okay I got a pen," he told her.
She gave him the number.
"Got it?" she asked.
"Yeah I got it. And does this girl have a name?" he asked sarcastically.
Marla sighed, dreading his reaction. "Giselle," she said softly.
"Huh?!" he asked in disbelief.
"Giselle, Charles, GISELLE. She's missing and Bill needs to know where she is and you're our only hope---OKAY?"
"GISELLE???" he repeated freaking out.
He said it so loudly that Giselle heard him from the living room and got up and ran to him in the game room.
"Did you call me Chuckie?" she asked.
Marla heard Giselle in the background talking to Charles.
"Charles, who's there with you? I thought all of the girls were out of the house?" she asked.
"Hold on a sec, Mom," he said quickly, covering the phone so that she couldn't hear his conversation with Giselle.
"Giselle, I didn't call you okay? Just go back in there and watch TV will you?" he asked annoyed.
Giselle sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes at him. "Well sorrrryyyyy!" she replied, insulted, as she left to watch tv again.
Charles got back on the phone with his mother. "Now what were you saying Mom?" he asked, flustered.
"Charles who do you have in MY house with you? And don't lie to me Charles! It's bad enough when you sneak around with Cassie, BUT SHE'S HERE WITH ME! So WHO do you have in MY HOUSE?!" she asked angrily.
Charles felt a headache coming on and his ribs started to ache as well. Nervous and agitated he decided to end the call:
"Mom I--I--I gotta go!" he stammered before hanging up.
Marla was speechless as she stared at her cell phone in disbelief.
"What happened?" Dana and Jenn asked in unison, disturbed by her expression.
"OH!!!!!!!! That boy is SO DEAD when I get a hold of him!!!" Marla fumed angrily.
"WHAT HAPPENED??? What did he say?" Dana persisted.
"He's got a GIRL in my house with him!!" Marla announced, fit to be tied.
Jenn's mouth dropped open as did Dana's. "NO???!!!" they replied, shocked.
"We can't let Cassie know!" Marla told them worried as she quickly put her phone away.
"Shhh!!!! Here she comes!" Dana warned as Cassie, Kate, Lulu and Lizzie approached with their Cinnabons.
Cassie immediately noticed the strange expressions on their faces.
"What's going on?" she inquired. "The three of you look like you just saw a ghost!" she remarked slightly amused.
Candygwen
"Oh nothing!!! Umm Dana isn't feeling too well so we are going to take her to the clinic to have her check out." said Jenn.
"Say WHAT!!!" snapped Dana.
Jenn elbowed Dana.
"Yeah I'm not feeling too good." lied Dana.
"She looks fine to me." said Cassie.
"I just have one of those headaches Cassie." said Dana.
"But I don't want to take any chances so we better go." said Jenn.
"So does means we have to end our women day early?" asked Lizzie.
"Of course not you girls go on ahead without us. We'll be fine." said Jenn.
"Don't worry Mrs. Sutton I'll make that the girls don't get in too much trouble." said Kate.
"Thanks Kate!" said Jenn.
Kate, Cassie, Lizzie, & Lulu continued shopping while the others head straight back to the house. Meanwhile Eddie and the guys arrived the lake as they prepared for fishing.
Batman642
"Isn't this beautiful fellas?" Eddie asked as they unloaded the car.
"It really is," Nate agreed. "When you've been to Iraq like I have, you appreciate the little things in life like a lake with trees and flowers."
"And BUGS!!!" Tay complained as he swatted at the gnats.
"I think I could really get into this," Robin remarked with approval as he took in the surroundings.
"I bet you get into alot of things you've got no business getting into...." Nate muttered.
"Sorry?" Robin replied.
Nate flashed a phony smile. "Today fishing is the business to get into!"
"What are we hunting for?" Jeron asked.
"We're FISHING for catfish," Eddie corrected him. "Tay can help you bait the hook. You remember how to do it Tay?"
"Yeah, yeah....." Tay said unenthused.
"I can do it myself," Jeron objected.
"You can help me out, dude," Robin told Tay.
"I got you, Rob......." Nate volunteered as he secretly schemed.
"Cool--thanks Nate!"
"Don't mention it, Rob. The pleasure is all mine," he said with a grin.
Eddit gave Nate a pat on the back. "There's nothing like some good ol' male bonding---am I right?" he asked proudly.
"Nothing like it, Pops," Nate agreed.
"Yeah. I may not be crazy about fishing, but I'm glad I'm no girl!" Tay joined in.
"Although I wouldn't mind BEING WITH a girl right about now," Devin added. "That Kendra is SO FINE!"
"She ain't got nothin' on Sage!" Tay challenged.
"Sorry yo but I'm with Devin on this one. Sage is too skinny!" Jeron said, adding his opinion.
"But she knows how to work with what she's got! Who looked better on stage? Sage or Kendra?" Tay asked.
"Sage was acting like she was doing a pole dance for crying out loud!" Eddie remarked annoyed.
"Word? I'm sorry I missed that!" Nate said disappointed.
"Yeah, that Sage is a live wire alright....." Robin said.
"Oh? And what do you know about that?" Nate inquired.
"I'll never forget how she ruined my trip to San Diego. It was bad enough I had to ride with Charles, but then Sage stowed aaway in the back of the truck and caused way too much drama. She almost got us both killed!" he complained.
"What about your little Asian? No drama there?" Nate asked.
Robin frowned. "Little Asian??? Her name is LULU. And she's fun and sweet and affectionate and attractive and smart and -----"
"Is she SEXY???" Devin interrupted.
"That's enough...." Eddie warned, not liking the direction the conversation was going in. "More fishing and less talking."
"Pops we can fish and talk at the same time," Nate replied. "I'm trying to get to know my man Rob a little better--remember?"
"So what would you like to know, Nate?" Robin asked, being friendly.
Candygwen
"More about Lulu!!!" said Nate.
"I already told you about Lulu." said Robin.
"Do you love her?" asked Nate.
"Of course I love her. Otherwise I wouldn't be engaged to her." said Robin.
"But you don't love her as much as Cassie." said Nate.
"Excuse you!?!?" said Robin being caught off guard.
"I mean I see you hanging with Cassie all the time. And for someone to be engaged to certain asian you sure spend a whole lot of time with Cassie." said Nate.
"For your information Cassie and I are just friends." said Robin.
"You sure do alot for your friend Cassie? Don't you?" asked Nate.
"Umm where are you getting at?" asked Robin.
Soon Tay walked in and interrupted the conversation.
"Nate don't you know anything man? This isn't how you hook a bait. Let me show you how it's done." said Tay as he want to change the subject and don't want to hear anything about his sister.
Eddie was relieved that Tay interrupted because he didn't like the where the convosation was going.
Batman642
Meanwhile, back at the Antoni house, Giselle is watching TV when nervous Charles walks in and stands in front of the TV.
"Hey!!!! You're blocking my view!!!" she complains.
Charles switches off the set. "Giselle I wanna know what kind of trouble you're in and why you're here," he demanded.
"Oh? So NOW you wanna know? NOW you have time to talk to me? I've only been here almost an hour already!" she replied outdone.
"I've got kids Giselle! Kids that need to eat! They take priority over you---you got that?" he said setting her straight.
"And what about that girl in there with you? Does she take priority over me too?" she asked referring to Sage.
"Look, just leave her out of this," Charles replied.
"I can't leave her out of it! She's the problem!!" Giselle revealed.
Charles got a pain in his side and sat next to her on the couch.
"Giselle what are you talking about?" he asked, totally confused.
Candygwen
I'm talking that slut screwing Danny." said Giselle.
"What!?!?" confused Charles.
"That maneater is messing around with Danny." said Giselle.
"I think that's the other way around but I'm do want to go into details." said Charles.
"There's a rumor going around that this slut has AIDS. Please tell me that's not true Chuckie." cried Giselle.
"First of all please do not call me Chuckie. And no Sage doesn't have AIDS." said Charles.
"Whew!" relieved Giselle.
"Sage has HIV!!!" said Charles.
"WHAT!?! THAT IS AIDS!?!?!" snapped Giselle.
"Will you lower your voice AIDS & HIV are two different things. Sage has the virus not the disease." said Charles.
"And that's suppose to make me feel better?" asked Giselle.
"Why are you worried unless did you sleep with Danny?" asked Charles.
"Yes but I used protection." said Giselle.
"Even so you still need to get tested. This is serious business and Danny has not business sleeping with you. Especially if he sleeping with Sage." said Charles.
"I can't I'm scared." cried Giselle.
"Look I will even go with you. You need to know for sure. Look I was in that same situation last year when I found out that Sage has HIV." said Charles.
"What happened?!?" asked Giselle.
Batman642
Charles sighed as he thought back to last year's events.
"Let's just say we all went a little crazy and did some things we should never have done," he replied.
"We all WHO???" Giselle continued to pry.
"Me, Sage, Cassie, Robin and Lulu," he told her.
""THAT MANY PEOPLE??? Whoa......sounds kinda freaky to me!" she remarked.
"Not at one time!!!" Charles clarified.
Giselle sucked her teeth. "Whatever! How'd everything turn out anyways?" she asked.
"Thank God we all came out clean---except for Sage that is," he explained.
"And it wasn't scary?" she asked cautiously.
"You can handle it Giselle. If you've been through rehab you can handle anything," he said trying to be encouraging.
"And you SWEAR you'll go with me?" she asked.
"If you need me, I'll be there for you," he promised.
She let out a sigh of relief, and then before he knew it her arms were around his neck and she kissed him quickly.
"Hey! Hey! None of that!" he said, pushing her away.
"I was just trying to say thanks for being such a cool guy is all!" she explained defensively.
"You're welcome," he said as he hurried and got up from the couch.
"It's too late CHUCKIE----I caught you in the act!" a sarcastic voice came from behind.
Charles spun around and saw Sage standing in the background with her hands on her hips, spying.
"You caught NOTHING Sage!" Charles corrected her annoyed at them both.
She held up her cell phone and twirled it around, teasing him.
"It's all on camera! I learned that little trick from Tay! And YOU'RE the girl he busted on camera with Danny!" she said pointing her finger at Giselle.
"Busted? Danny is my boyfriend!" Giselle answered.
"Well he was MINE FIRST! And you're not satisfied to steal him from me----now you're trying to steal Charles from Cassie?!" Sage fired back.
"You're crazy! I'm not stealing anybody from anybody!" Giselle yelled as she got up from the couch and approached Sage.
Charles stepped in between the two angry girls, fearing a cat fight might break out, and as he did, the front door opened and Marla, Dana and Jenn appeared.
Candygwen
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" snapped Marla.
"OH MY GOD!!" freaked out Dana.
"Mom it's not what you think." said Charles freaking out.
"Charles I'm trying to understand and I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here. Please explain to me what are these two girls doing in MY HOUSE!!!' angered Marla.
"I better get out of here." said Giselle.
"Sit down!!" said Marla.
"You are not my mother." snapped Giselle.
"I SAID SIT DOWN NOW!!! YOU IN HOT WATER AS IT IS!! DON"t MAKE ANYTHING WORST!!!" said Marla.
"You guys I wasn't cheating on Cassie I swear." said Charles as he pleading.
"Charles I want to believe you but there are two girls in here and it doesn't look good." said Jenn.
"Come on everybody lets calm down and let Charles talk." said Dana.
"I'm going to my room. I just don't know about you Charles. What did I do wrong? Where did I go wrong with you. I tried to be a good mother." said Marla.
"Marla please shut up and let Charles explain." said Dana.
"Thanks Dana.." said Charles.
"For your sake Charles this better be a very good explanation because I'm myself is starting to doubt you." said Dana.
Charles started to talk.
Batman642
Charles looked around nervously.
"Okay, here it goes. I was upstairs with Colin and Kalie, minding my own business. All of a sudden the doorbell rang. I went down to answer it and Sage is standing there! She says she's looking for Tay! So I started teasing her about the Tribute and how Tay was serenading her and all and she was getting angry about that so I told her to chill. Then she decides she wants to come in and see the twins. I didn't want her to, but before I could stop her, a taxi cab pulls up to the house and before I know it, Giselle is coming up the steps! She's telling me she needs a friend, blah blah blah and then her and Sage start yapping about the Tribute show and I told them I don't have time for this---I got kids to feed--and then Giselle just pushes her way into the house and Sage follows her!! And then I was trying to feed the kids and Sage was helping and then you called Mom and said Giselle was missing and then I tried to find out from her what the problem was and when she told me I offered to help her out and she thanked me and Sage misunderstood what she saw and the two of them started arguing and I tried to break it up and then the three of you came----just in the nick of time," Charles rambled on incoherently.
He looked at the five females in the room and waited for some sort of reaction.
Candygwen
"I think I better go now." said Giselle.
"No I'm diving you home right now." said Marla.
"No I want to go to the clinic and I want to the clinic now and I need Charles." cried Giselle.
"Look Charles isn't feeling. I'll take you to the clinic and have you get tested. I'm no Charles but I'm nurse." said Jenn.
"Giselle if you are really about this then you should go with Jenn. It's important to go anyway." said Marla.
"Please Mrs. Sutton knows what she's doing Giselle." said Charles.
"Alright fine I'll go." said Giselle reluntantly.
"That's a good girl." said Marla.
"But first I need to do one thing beofore I leave." said Giselle.
Then Giselle walked up to Sage and Giselle suddenly punched Sage in the face.
"WHAT THE HELL!?!?" snapped Sage.
"If I find outthat I'm HIV positive..I swear to God I gonna kill you and Danny. That's a promise." threatened Giselle.
"Giselle that's enough lets go." said Jenn.
Batman642
(that's a great ending until the story resumes again!--candygwen)
Just then, a cab pulled up to the front of the Antoni home.
"Expecting someone?" Sage asked Charles as they both watched to see who would step out of the car.
"No I'm not. Today is just full of surprises," he replied.
Giselle hopped out of the car and saw Charles standing at the top of the steps at the front door.
"Hey Chuckie!!!" she greeted him waving and smiling.
"Chuckie???" Sage remarked suspiciously to Charles.
"It's not what you think," Charles told Sage as Giselle started up the steps towards the two of them.
Sage looked doubtful.
"Oh I think this is EXACTLY what I think! I can't believe you're creeping behind Cassie's back!" she accused him.
Giselle got up to the front door.
"I'm so glad you're here, Chuckie! I could use a friend right about now," she said as she looked at Sage oddly.
Charles introduced the two girls to each other.
"Weren't you at the Tribute show last night?" Giselle asked Sage.
"I was one of the performers," Sage bragged proudly.
"Look you two, I've got kids inside to watch," Charles interrupted. "What's the deal Giselle?" he asked impatiently.
"Well then at least let me come inside, Chuckie! I'm in trouble!" Giselle fussed as she rudely pushed her way past Charles and walked into the house.
Sage was impressed with Giselle's nerve and followed her inside the house.
Candygwen
"Alright Giselle what's the deal?" asked Charles.
"It's kinda' private." said Giselle.
"Sage do you mind?" asked Charles.
"Uh yeah." said Sage.
"Sage please! If you going to hang around here at least make yourself useful and keep an eye on the twins." said Charles.
"Charles what am I going to do with these rugrats?" asked Sage.
"Where they haven't had their breakfast yet. Fix them a bowl of cereal or something." said Charles.
"Alright...come on Auntie Sage is going to take care of you." said Sage.
"YOU'RE NOT OUR AUNTI!! YOU A MEAN O LADY TRYING TAKE DADDY AWAY FROM US!!" snapped Kalie as she stomped on Sage's foot very hard.
"OWWWW YOU LIL BRAT I'LL KILL YOU!!" screamed Sage in pain.
"YOU LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE YOU MEANIE!!" snapped Colin as he stomped on Sage other foot very hard.
"OWWWWW ARE YOU TWO CRAZY!!!" screamed Sage hoping in pain.
"KALIE! COLIN! THAT'S NOT NICE!!! YOU TWO KNOW BETTER THAN THAT!!! Sage are you alright?" asked Charles.
"I'm fine!" said Sage rubbing her foot.
"I want you two to aplogisze now." said Charles.
"Sorry!" said Colin & Kalie.
"I have no idea what has gotten into them. It's not like them to act like that." said Sage.
"It's alright Charles...they are just kids and I love them so much." said Charles.
"Giselle I'll be with you in a minute. I better help Sage feed the twins before they kill her." said Charles.
"Sure take your time Chuckie!!!" said Giselle.
"Chuckie!?!" wondered Sage.
"Don't asked." said Charles.
The two took the twins to the kitchen and fed them breakfast while Giselle turned on the televison. So she can keep her mind off of things. Meanwhile Jenn and the ladies was at the mall shopping.
Batman642
After catching a terrific sale at Victoria's Secret, they all decided to take a break at the food court.
"Mmmmm......I smell Cinnabons!" Lulu moaned, practically drooling. "And I luv me some Cinnabons!"
Cassie giggled. "Some things never change, do they?"
"Well you'd better be careful eating Cinnabons Lulu, or that nice figure of yours is gonna change!" Dana warned.
"Yeah, and then you'll be a fat bride!" Lizzie teased.
"Hmph! Not me! Not on your life! I'm gonna look GOOD for my Boo!"
"If anybody knows about these things it would be my mom and Kate---they're both nurses," Cassie added. "So what's the verdict---should she lay off of the Cinnabons or not?" she asked them.
"Lulu looks just fine the way she is," Kate replied, "so I say go for it, girl. You only live once!"
Jenn nodded. "I second that. You never know what tomorrow may bring."
"Well I say watch that figure girl!" Dana added. "Leave them Cinnabons alone!"
Lulu waved her hand at Dana playfully. "Ba Humbug to you too! This is our day! I'll diet tomorrow! Come on y'all!" she said as she ran to get on the line.
"Well I'm with Dana," Marla said. "I've gotta watch my figure!"
Jenn laughed. "Marla, one night of Salsa dancing with Bill will take that Cinnabon right off of your hips!"
"No thank you---I don't want to take any chances," Marla replied as she stood back with Dana and watched the rest get on the Cinnabon line.
Dana grabbed her hand. "I'm proud of you, girl," she told Marla.
"Thanks!"
"And by the way.....is everything going alright with you and Bill?" Dana inquired curiously.
"Sure, everything's fine. Why do you ask?" Marla wanted to know.
"Well it's just that I was kind of surprised that he brought you home after the Tribute. I thought you would have stayed at his place," Dana remarked.
"Oh.......well........maybe I would have if Charles hadn't scared me half to death with is rib attack," Marla explained.
"How did Bill take it when you decided not to stay?"
"He was disappointed at first, but then he was fine with it after I explained everything."
"So when is your next date?" Dana asked excitedly.
"Not soon enough!" Marla replied anxiously.
Just then her cell phone rang and she struggled to get it out of her purse. When she looked at the caller i.d. she gasped.
"OMG, Dana----it's HIM!!" she announced, amazed.
Dana squealed, happy for her friend. "Hurry up and answer it dummy!" she urged Marla.
Marla took a deep breath and then flipped open her phone. "Hello?" she answered.

"Marla you have to help me." said Bill.
"Bill are you alright?" asked Marla.
"No I'm not! It's Giselle. I'm losing her." said hurt Bill.
"Losing her...you're not making sense. What's going on?" confused Marla.
"I decided to take your advice and talk to Giselle about Sage and her relationship with Danny. I also talk to her about Danny maybe HIV so I wanted her to get tested." said Bill.
"How did she take it?" asked Marla.
"Not too good!!! She doesn't believe me and she stormed out the house. And I am afraid that Giselle is going to do soemthing stupid or worst go back to her old ways." panic Bill.
"Bill calm down have you tried contacting her on her cell?" asked Marla.
"I did that but she is not answering me." said Bill.
"Oh Bill!!" said concerned Marla.
"What's going on?" asked Dana.
"Bill is in a crisis. And I don't know what to do." said Marla.
"What are you two chattering about?" asked Jenn.
"Jenn just to person I want to see." said Marla.
"Huh?" asked Jenn.
"Bill, Jenn will help you out just tell her problem and she'll straighting it out. She is good at this. She has crisis all the time with her kids." said Marla.
"Thanks...I think" said Jenn.
"Put her on the phone." said Bill.
Batman642
Marla handed Jenn the phone.
"Hey Bill, how are things?" Jenn asked a bit puzzled.
Bill explained everything to Jenn, not allowing her to get a word in edgewise.
"Wow!!" she replied when he finally finished his saga. "That was a mouthful!"
"I'm at my wits end here Jennifer! I've never had to deal with a teenaged girl before, and Giselle is a handful to say the least!" Bill complained.
"I think in the near future you and Eddie need to get together to compare notes---he's got TWO teenaged girls! But for now, unfortunately, all I can say is either go out and look for her or stay by the phone. There's not much else you can do, Bill. She hasn't been missing long enough to be considered a missing person---I know that because I'm a cop's wife. And if she refuses to answer your calls---what can you do? Unless......"
Suddenly, Jennifer got an idea.
"Unless? Unless what?" he asked anxiously.
"If someone else calls her number. That way it won't say your name on her caller ID and she'll answer it."
"Perfect! I knew I could get some help if I called Marla!" he replied happily.
"Now who could we get to call her?" Jenn asked Bill. "Someone she'd be willing to talk to....."
"Well I would say Danny, but I beat him up last night so I'm pretty sure he won't do me any favors," Bill replied.
"Anyone else?" Jenn asked.
"Not anyone I can think of. She's pretty much of a loner these days. Although......"
"Yes???"
"Well, she has always liked that Antoni character---the one who assaulted her at the beach!" he said angrily.
"Now hold on there a minute, Bill! You're talking about my future son-in-law and MARLA'S SON!" Jenn reminded him.
"I apologize," he muttered.
"Now you and I both know that Charles did NOT assault Giselle at the beach. She made the whole thing up!" Jenn continued.
"Supposedly," he muttered.
"She ADMITTED she lied, Bill. And almost got Charles thrown into jail I might add! If anyone's a character, it's Giselle!"
"Alright, alright! We're not getting anywhere arguing about Charles and Giselle!" Bill snapped. "I guess if we got Charles to call her phone, she'd answer it," he admitted.
"Okay then, give me Giselle's number and I'll have Marla get in touch with Charles and explain the situation and if he's able to reach her, he'll let us know and then we'll let you know. How's that?" Jenn asked.
"I'd appreciate that very much. Thank you Jennifer," he said after he gave her Giselle's number.
Marla and Dana were anxiously waiting for Jenn to explain things.
"Marla, do you think you can get Charles to call Giselle's number and find out where she is?" Jenn asked, handing Marla the number.
Marla shrugged. "I can give it a try," she replied as she called her son at home.

Meanwhile back at Marla's house Charles and Sage was feeding the twins.
"Come on Kalie just one bite. For Auntie Sage." begged Sage.
Kalie shook her head no.
"She hates me." whined Sage.
"No she don't. They just don't know you that well." said Charles.
"I knew me when we went out together that time." said Sage.
"That was last year and they were a couple months old then." said Charles.
Suddenly Charles heard the phone ring. He picked up and it was Marla.
"Mom?!?" surprsied Charles being off guard.
"Nice to hear from yo too." said Marla.
"Great this day gets more and more complicated."muttered Charles.
Charles peeked to check on Giselle. He saw her watching televison.
"Sage I'm going to take this phone call in the game room. Finished feeding the twins." said Charles.
"Charles please don't leave me alone with them." scared Sage.
"Sage they just babies they not going to bite you. You'll be alright." said Charles.
Charles left the kitchen moments later Colin threw cereal oats at Sage. And the twins laughed.
"Keep it up lil boy and you will not going to see your next birthday." threaten Sage.
The twins stuck their tounge out at Sage and gave her a raseberry.
"I am so not ready for this mother thing." whined Sage.
Meanwhile Charles was in the gameroom talking to his mother.
"Mom whatsup!?!?" asked Charles.
batman642
"Hey honey....." Marla said, trying to sound nonchalant at first to avoid arousing his suspicion.
"Yeah, yeah, hey. What's up? I'm trying to feed the kids," he rushed her.
"Is everything okay?" Marla asked sweetly.
"Like I said, I'm kinda busy right now, Mom. Was there something???" he hinted.
"Well......yes honey. Write this number down, Charles, and call it for me please?" she asked sweetly again.
"What??? Why can't YOU just call it?" he asked, totally baffled.
"Don't ask so many questions, Charles! Just get a pen, write this number down and find out where this girl is for me," she demanded not so sweetly anymore.
Charles groaned as he scrambled around looking for a pen and paper in the game room.
"Hurry up Charles!" Marla bossed him losing patience.
"Alright, alright! Okay I got a pen," he told her.
She gave him the number.
"Got it?" she asked.
"Yeah I got it. And does this girl have a name?" he asked sarcastically.
Marla sighed, dreading his reaction. "Giselle," she said softly.
"Huh?!" he asked in disbelief.
"Giselle, Charles, GISELLE. She's missing and Bill needs to know where she is and you're our only hope---OKAY?"
"GISELLE???" he repeated freaking out.
He said it so loudly that Giselle heard him from the living room and got up and ran to him in the game room.
"Did you call me Chuckie?" she asked.
Marla heard Giselle in the background talking to Charles.
"Charles, who's there with you? I thought all of the girls were out of the house?" she asked.
"Hold on a sec, Mom," he said quickly, covering the phone so that she couldn't hear his conversation with Giselle.
"Giselle, I didn't call you okay? Just go back in there and watch TV will you?" he asked annoyed.
Giselle sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes at him. "Well sorrrryyyyy!" she replied, insulted, as she left to watch tv again.
Charles got back on the phone with his mother. "Now what were you saying Mom?" he asked, flustered.
"Charles who do you have in MY house with you? And don't lie to me Charles! It's bad enough when you sneak around with Cassie, BUT SHE'S HERE WITH ME! So WHO do you have in MY HOUSE?!" she asked angrily.
Charles felt a headache coming on and his ribs started to ache as well. Nervous and agitated he decided to end the call:
"Mom I--I--I gotta go!" he stammered before hanging up.
Marla was speechless as she stared at her cell phone in disbelief.
"What happened?" Dana and Jenn asked in unison, disturbed by her expression.
"OH!!!!!!!! That boy is SO DEAD when I get a hold of him!!!" Marla fumed angrily.
"WHAT HAPPENED??? What did he say?" Dana persisted.
"He's got a GIRL in my house with him!!" Marla announced, fit to be tied.
Jenn's mouth dropped open as did Dana's. "NO???!!!" they replied, shocked.
"We can't let Cassie know!" Marla told them worried as she quickly put her phone away.
"Shhh!!!! Here she comes!" Dana warned as Cassie, Kate, Lulu and Lizzie approached with their Cinnabons.
Cassie immediately noticed the strange expressions on their faces.
"What's going on?" she inquired. "The three of you look like you just saw a ghost!" she remarked slightly amused.
Candygwen
"Oh nothing!!! Umm Dana isn't feeling too well so we are going to take her to the clinic to have her check out." said Jenn.
"Say WHAT!!!" snapped Dana.
Jenn elbowed Dana.
"Yeah I'm not feeling too good." lied Dana.
"She looks fine to me." said Cassie.
"I just have one of those headaches Cassie." said Dana.
"But I don't want to take any chances so we better go." said Jenn.
"So does means we have to end our women day early?" asked Lizzie.
"Of course not you girls go on ahead without us. We'll be fine." said Jenn.
"Don't worry Mrs. Sutton I'll make that the girls don't get in too much trouble." said Kate.
"Thanks Kate!" said Jenn.
Kate, Cassie, Lizzie, & Lulu continued shopping while the others head straight back to the house. Meanwhile Eddie and the guys arrived the lake as they prepared for fishing.
Batman642
"Isn't this beautiful fellas?" Eddie asked as they unloaded the car.
"It really is," Nate agreed. "When you've been to Iraq like I have, you appreciate the little things in life like a lake with trees and flowers."
"And BUGS!!!" Tay complained as he swatted at the gnats.
"I think I could really get into this," Robin remarked with approval as he took in the surroundings.
"I bet you get into alot of things you've got no business getting into...." Nate muttered.
"Sorry?" Robin replied.
Nate flashed a phony smile. "Today fishing is the business to get into!"
"What are we hunting for?" Jeron asked.
"We're FISHING for catfish," Eddie corrected him. "Tay can help you bait the hook. You remember how to do it Tay?"
"Yeah, yeah....." Tay said unenthused.
"I can do it myself," Jeron objected.
"You can help me out, dude," Robin told Tay.
"I got you, Rob......." Nate volunteered as he secretly schemed.
"Cool--thanks Nate!"
"Don't mention it, Rob. The pleasure is all mine," he said with a grin.
Eddit gave Nate a pat on the back. "There's nothing like some good ol' male bonding---am I right?" he asked proudly.
"Nothing like it, Pops," Nate agreed.
"Yeah. I may not be crazy about fishing, but I'm glad I'm no girl!" Tay joined in.
"Although I wouldn't mind BEING WITH a girl right about now," Devin added. "That Kendra is SO FINE!"
"She ain't got nothin' on Sage!" Tay challenged.
"Sorry yo but I'm with Devin on this one. Sage is too skinny!" Jeron said, adding his opinion.
"But she knows how to work with what she's got! Who looked better on stage? Sage or Kendra?" Tay asked.
"Sage was acting like she was doing a pole dance for crying out loud!" Eddie remarked annoyed.
"Word? I'm sorry I missed that!" Nate said disappointed.
"Yeah, that Sage is a live wire alright....." Robin said.
"Oh? And what do you know about that?" Nate inquired.
"I'll never forget how she ruined my trip to San Diego. It was bad enough I had to ride with Charles, but then Sage stowed aaway in the back of the truck and caused way too much drama. She almost got us both killed!" he complained.
"What about your little Asian? No drama there?" Nate asked.
Robin frowned. "Little Asian??? Her name is LULU. And she's fun and sweet and affectionate and attractive and smart and -----"
"Is she SEXY???" Devin interrupted.
"That's enough...." Eddie warned, not liking the direction the conversation was going in. "More fishing and less talking."
"Pops we can fish and talk at the same time," Nate replied. "I'm trying to get to know my man Rob a little better--remember?"
"So what would you like to know, Nate?" Robin asked, being friendly.
Candygwen
"More about Lulu!!!" said Nate.
"I already told you about Lulu." said Robin.
"Do you love her?" asked Nate.
"Of course I love her. Otherwise I wouldn't be engaged to her." said Robin.
"But you don't love her as much as Cassie." said Nate.
"Excuse you!?!?" said Robin being caught off guard.
"I mean I see you hanging with Cassie all the time. And for someone to be engaged to certain asian you sure spend a whole lot of time with Cassie." said Nate.
"For your information Cassie and I are just friends." said Robin.
"You sure do alot for your friend Cassie? Don't you?" asked Nate.
"Umm where are you getting at?" asked Robin.
Soon Tay walked in and interrupted the conversation.
"Nate don't you know anything man? This isn't how you hook a bait. Let me show you how it's done." said Tay as he want to change the subject and don't want to hear anything about his sister.
Eddie was relieved that Tay interrupted because he didn't like the where the convosation was going.
Batman642
Meanwhile, back at the Antoni house, Giselle is watching TV when nervous Charles walks in and stands in front of the TV.
"Hey!!!! You're blocking my view!!!" she complains.
Charles switches off the set. "Giselle I wanna know what kind of trouble you're in and why you're here," he demanded.
"Oh? So NOW you wanna know? NOW you have time to talk to me? I've only been here almost an hour already!" she replied outdone.
"I've got kids Giselle! Kids that need to eat! They take priority over you---you got that?" he said setting her straight.
"And what about that girl in there with you? Does she take priority over me too?" she asked referring to Sage.
"Look, just leave her out of this," Charles replied.
"I can't leave her out of it! She's the problem!!" Giselle revealed.
Charles got a pain in his side and sat next to her on the couch.
"Giselle what are you talking about?" he asked, totally confused.
Candygwen
I'm talking that slut screwing Danny." said Giselle.
"What!?!?" confused Charles.
"That maneater is messing around with Danny." said Giselle.
"I think that's the other way around but I'm do want to go into details." said Charles.
"There's a rumor going around that this slut has AIDS. Please tell me that's not true Chuckie." cried Giselle.
"First of all please do not call me Chuckie. And no Sage doesn't have AIDS." said Charles.
"Whew!" relieved Giselle.
"Sage has HIV!!!" said Charles.
"WHAT!?! THAT IS AIDS!?!?!" snapped Giselle.
"Will you lower your voice AIDS & HIV are two different things. Sage has the virus not the disease." said Charles.
"And that's suppose to make me feel better?" asked Giselle.
"Why are you worried unless did you sleep with Danny?" asked Charles.
"Yes but I used protection." said Giselle.
"Even so you still need to get tested. This is serious business and Danny has not business sleeping with you. Especially if he sleeping with Sage." said Charles.
"I can't I'm scared." cried Giselle.
"Look I will even go with you. You need to know for sure. Look I was in that same situation last year when I found out that Sage has HIV." said Charles.
"What happened?!?" asked Giselle.
Batman642
Charles sighed as he thought back to last year's events.
"Let's just say we all went a little crazy and did some things we should never have done," he replied.
"We all WHO???" Giselle continued to pry.
"Me, Sage, Cassie, Robin and Lulu," he told her.
""THAT MANY PEOPLE??? Whoa......sounds kinda freaky to me!" she remarked.
"Not at one time!!!" Charles clarified.
Giselle sucked her teeth. "Whatever! How'd everything turn out anyways?" she asked.
"Thank God we all came out clean---except for Sage that is," he explained.
"And it wasn't scary?" she asked cautiously.
"You can handle it Giselle. If you've been through rehab you can handle anything," he said trying to be encouraging.
"And you SWEAR you'll go with me?" she asked.
"If you need me, I'll be there for you," he promised.
She let out a sigh of relief, and then before he knew it her arms were around his neck and she kissed him quickly.
"Hey! Hey! None of that!" he said, pushing her away.
"I was just trying to say thanks for being such a cool guy is all!" she explained defensively.
"You're welcome," he said as he hurried and got up from the couch.
"It's too late CHUCKIE----I caught you in the act!" a sarcastic voice came from behind.
Charles spun around and saw Sage standing in the background with her hands on her hips, spying.
"You caught NOTHING Sage!" Charles corrected her annoyed at them both.
She held up her cell phone and twirled it around, teasing him.
"It's all on camera! I learned that little trick from Tay! And YOU'RE the girl he busted on camera with Danny!" she said pointing her finger at Giselle.
"Busted? Danny is my boyfriend!" Giselle answered.
"Well he was MINE FIRST! And you're not satisfied to steal him from me----now you're trying to steal Charles from Cassie?!" Sage fired back.
"You're crazy! I'm not stealing anybody from anybody!" Giselle yelled as she got up from the couch and approached Sage.
Charles stepped in between the two angry girls, fearing a cat fight might break out, and as he did, the front door opened and Marla, Dana and Jenn appeared.
Candygwen
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" snapped Marla.
"OH MY GOD!!" freaked out Dana.
"Mom it's not what you think." said Charles freaking out.
"Charles I'm trying to understand and I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here. Please explain to me what are these two girls doing in MY HOUSE!!!' angered Marla.
"I better get out of here." said Giselle.
"Sit down!!" said Marla.
"You are not my mother." snapped Giselle.
"I SAID SIT DOWN NOW!!! YOU IN HOT WATER AS IT IS!! DON"t MAKE ANYTHING WORST!!!" said Marla.
"You guys I wasn't cheating on Cassie I swear." said Charles as he pleading.
"Charles I want to believe you but there are two girls in here and it doesn't look good." said Jenn.
"Come on everybody lets calm down and let Charles talk." said Dana.
"I'm going to my room. I just don't know about you Charles. What did I do wrong? Where did I go wrong with you. I tried to be a good mother." said Marla.
"Marla please shut up and let Charles explain." said Dana.
"Thanks Dana.." said Charles.
"For your sake Charles this better be a very good explanation because I'm myself is starting to doubt you." said Dana.
Charles started to talk.
Batman642
Charles looked around nervously.
"Okay, here it goes. I was upstairs with Colin and Kalie, minding my own business. All of a sudden the doorbell rang. I went down to answer it and Sage is standing there! She says she's looking for Tay! So I started teasing her about the Tribute and how Tay was serenading her and all and she was getting angry about that so I told her to chill. Then she decides she wants to come in and see the twins. I didn't want her to, but before I could stop her, a taxi cab pulls up to the house and before I know it, Giselle is coming up the steps! She's telling me she needs a friend, blah blah blah and then her and Sage start yapping about the Tribute show and I told them I don't have time for this---I got kids to feed--and then Giselle just pushes her way into the house and Sage follows her!! And then I was trying to feed the kids and Sage was helping and then you called Mom and said Giselle was missing and then I tried to find out from her what the problem was and when she told me I offered to help her out and she thanked me and Sage misunderstood what she saw and the two of them started arguing and I tried to break it up and then the three of you came----just in the nick of time," Charles rambled on incoherently.
He looked at the five females in the room and waited for some sort of reaction.
Candygwen
"I think I better go now." said Giselle.
"No I'm diving you home right now." said Marla.
"No I want to go to the clinic and I want to the clinic now and I need Charles." cried Giselle.
"Look Charles isn't feeling. I'll take you to the clinic and have you get tested. I'm no Charles but I'm nurse." said Jenn.
"Giselle if you are really about this then you should go with Jenn. It's important to go anyway." said Marla.
"Please Mrs. Sutton knows what she's doing Giselle." said Charles.
"Alright fine I'll go." said Giselle reluntantly.
"That's a good girl." said Marla.
"But first I need to do one thing beofore I leave." said Giselle.
Then Giselle walked up to Sage and Giselle suddenly punched Sage in the face.
"WHAT THE HELL!?!?" snapped Sage.
"If I find outthat I'm HIV positive..I swear to God I gonna kill you and Danny. That's a promise." threatened Giselle.
"Giselle that's enough lets go." said Jenn.
