Introduction

"Let me in the bathroom Chloe!" Chase exclaimed as he pounded on the door in an attempt to get his twin sister out of the bathroom.

"You can wait five minutes I'm putting on my make up,"

Chase rolled his eyes and then looked at his father.

EJ sighed, this was the same argument they had every morning along with many other things.

"Chloe let your brother in the bathroom,"

"But dad---" Chloe started to protest.

"Chloe," EJ said sternly.

EJ didn't get a reply but he assumed she heard him since he heard her mumbling on the other side of the door. Finally she came out and glared at her brother while she fumbled with her long blonde hair. After Chase went into the bathroom Chloe went into the kitchen and sat at the counter and EJ followed. After a few minutes of silence EJ spoke up.

"You know you have to stay with your mom this week don't you?"

A look of displeasure crossed Chloe's face followed by a groan.

"Do I have to dad?"

"Yes you have to,"

Ever since Chloe was little it had been a challenge to get her out the door when it was time for her and Chase to spend the week at Sami and Lucas's apartment. EJ sighed when he remembered one particular time when she was only four and it was time for her to go with Sami…

"No!" Chloe protested attaching herself to EJ's leg.

EJ sighed as he managed to pry Chloe off his leg. Then he bent down to her eye level.

"Sweetheart, you have to go with mommy it's her turn to hang out with you okay?"

Chloe's lip quivered as she pouted.

"But I want to stay with daddy,"

EJ glanced up at Sami who was standing in the doorway with Chase and then turned his attention back on his daughter.

"You can't stay with me but I'll be right across the hall if you need me," EJ said soothingly.

Chloe looked in Sami's direction for clarification.

"He'll be there if you need him sweetie."

Chloe turned towards EJ and again and muttered a quiet

"Fine, I'll go,"

"That's my girl," EJ said kissing her head lightly before leading her over to the door.

EJ's thoughts were interrupted by Chase moving around in the bathroom.

"Chloe, why do you always fight me on going to your moms?" EJ asked even though he had a slight idea as to why.

Chloe didn't say anything at first she just gave him the "You aren't seriously asking me this" look.

"I don't know,"

Before EJ could question her any further Chase came out of the bathroom.

Chase looked at Chloe and then back at his dad.

"We uh… better go Chloe or we'll be late for the bus,"

Chloe looked in EJ's direction and he nodded so she got up and left with Chase. Once the door was shut EJ closed his eyes for a second only to be interrupted by someone knocking on the door. He walked over to the door to open it and was pleasantly surprised when he did.

"Samantha…"
