"Dickie what did I tell you about watching TV?" Elliot asked his son.
"That I have to finish my homework first." The teenager replied not taking his eyes of the television.

"Dad, come on, I'll finish it later."
"No, you're going to finish it now!"
"Fine, this all your fault Lizzie you should learn to keep your mouth shut!"
"Dickie, leave you sister alone."
Dickie gave his sister a hard glare before walking towards his backpack that was lying on the bench by door the boy grabbed his bag and jerked it open removing his Math and Spanish books from it. Dickie walked over the kitchen table and tossed his books on it. The teenager slammed himself into the chair and opened his Math book and began working on his homework.
After a while things were setting down and the twins were working on their homework and Eli was playing in his playpen. Elliot decided it was time to start thinking about what they should have for dinner.
"Hey guys, what do you guys want of dinner." Elliot asked leaning on entry fame of kitchen.
"Pizza." The twins said in unison.
"Okay I'll order the pizza while you guys finish your homework."
The sound of Eli cries filled the air causing Elliot to stop dialing the pizza place.
"Lizzie can you go check on Eli for me?" Elliot asked.
"Yeah, no problem." The youngest twin said.
Elliot watched as his daughter left the room to go check on the youngest Stabler before turning to his oldest son.
"Hey Dickie, you and Lizzie are okay, right?" Elliot asked.
"Yeah, Dad, why wouldn't we be?" The teenager replied looking up from his homework meeting his father's glaze.

"Alright, buddy pizza will be here soon, do you want juice?" Elliot said taking Eli from Lizzie and placing him his high chair.
"No!" The youngest Stabler shouted.
