Again Thanks to Kylie for reading over this for me! Enjoy!
"To Kirsten with Love"
Sandy entered the kitchen to find his wife thumbing gloomily through some papers. "Hey Sweetie what are you doing?"
"Urgh, I'm helping to organise this charity event. I have three days to make a fabulous garden party in order for "Newport's Children's Hospital" for Julie Cooper herself"
"Oh fun! What's on the agenda this week? Table cloths? Appropriate silver ware, should it be black tie optional?" Sandy smirked as he spread cream cheese over his bagel.
Kirsten neatly piled the papers on top of each other and sighed. "I don't want to do this, I'm not in the mood to organise another newpsie meet and greet session"
Sandy walked slowly over to Kirsten and wrapped his arms around her. Kirsten placed her head against his chest.
"What's the matter honey? I thought you loved these charity events"
Kirsten looked into her husbands eyes replying "I do love them, don't get me wrong a lot of money is raised for these charities, but I don't know I want to do something more. I want to see how our money is helping these people… I want to help people"
Sandy kissed his wife's temple and gazed lovingly into her blue eyes. "Honey, I tell you this all the time, but you are amazing! Sophie Cohen would be proud of you saying that"
"Wow, your comparing me to your mother…. I mean I love the women but she scares me. I mean it's the "NANA"
Sandy laughed as he kissed her hair. "What I meant was you are right there is so much you can do out there. You care about these people, it's not about the money with you, you want to do some good in the world, and you have a heart of gold"
"Well I must have learnt from you" Kirsten smiled.
"Look ill tell you what. This charity event is in aid of the children's hospital right? Why don't you as an employee of Newport Living personally donate a cheque and demand to meet some of the children"
Kirsten stood up slowly from her chair, turning around to face Sandy. "What a good idea, the company has been getting a lot of bad press recently, and this way I can try my best to help these kids. Such logical thinking, I knew there was a reason I married you" Kirsten laughed quietly. Sandy moved forward cupping her face in his hands and kissing her deeply. Their kiss was interrupted when Ryan entered the kitchen and threw a bagel at Sandy's head. Seth arrived just as the two broke apart.
"Wow dude, I told you the first day you came here these two are gross"
"I know" Ryan replied "No offence!"
"Ryan, son I'm deeply insulted here! I have said before to the both of you, this women Is a hottie and I got her" Sandy kissed Kirsten again quickly.
Kirsten pulled away, slightly blushing. "So are you two going to be around today to help with the charity event?"
"Mom, heavy lifting? Don't you know me at all" Seth replied, disgust in his face
Kirsten laughed and pointed to the kitchen table. "It's ok Seth; I know you're not as macho as Ryan here, so you are in charge of balloons"
Ryan and Sandy laughed in unison as Seth moved his way over to the table saying "well I'm going to own the balloons, these are going to be the best blown up balloons ever, you will see, you'll all see"
Their laughter was interrupted by the doorbell.
Ryan jumped out of his chair, as did Seth and both of them sprinted to the door. "Ha Ha I won" Ryan replied with a victorious grin on his face.
"Well dude I totally gave you a head start, I mean it was so obvious, right Dad? Dad?" Seth made his way back into the kitchen as Ryan opened the door.
"Hello Ryan, is Kirsten home, I need to speak to her its urgent" Julie Cooper made her own way to the kitchen.
"KIRSTEN" she shouted, as she dropped her bag onto the floor, "We have a major problem"
"Hey Julie, what's up?"
"Well, oh my god where do I begin, ok well firstly the dress I wanted for the event does not come in my size, that damn zone diet is obviously not working for me, and secondly Kaitlin has a dance recital scheduled the same day, and I just can't miss it because it would make me an awful mother, and plus this other women who I despise is going to be there and she thinks her daughter is better than my Kaitlin, hmmm we shall see" Julie took in a deep breath as Kirsten, Sandy, Seth and Ryan looked on in disbelief
"Wow Julie, that is a problem, what shall we do? We will have to get Dr Phil on the phone" Sandy said in a serious tone. Kirsten nudged him with her elbow while Seth and Ryan laughed into their cereals.
"Please Dr Phil, he would not understand this problem, so Kirsten basically what will I do, I mean we can't have the event without me, I mean I'm the brains of the operation"
Kirsten looked at Julie, then at her giggling family and said "Well Julie, how about we cancel the event, and I will personally sign a cheque and present one personally to the Children's Hospital on behalf of Newport Living, besides I would love to meet some of the kids we are helping", she smiled proudly.
Julie sighed "You want to meet the children? Why? I mean they are sick, what if you catch something"
Kirsten looked at her shaking her head. "They aren't diseased Julie, and I think it's about time we spent more time with the less fortunate, it's all well and good to sign a cheque but there is a lot more we could be doing for people out there"
Julie looked at her watch, grabbed her bag and walked quickly to her door. "Since when did you become so self righteous Kiki, I thought that was Sandy's job" seconds later she was gone.
Sandy took a sip of his coffee. "It's just so refreshing seeing Julie Cooper first thing in the morning, she makes my clients look good"
Seth turned to Ryan saying "Oh my god Ryan I have such a problem"
Sandy and Kirsten turned their heads to their son and Ryan asked "what is it man"
"Ok, so well like I went to the mall yesterday and I found this amazing tux but it was not in my size, I mean seriously like mother can't you cater for my needs, I'm on a no carb diet, I got to watch my figure"
The trio laughed in unison and Kirsten went over and hugged her son. "It's ok sweetie! I still love you even though right now you sound like Elton John"
Sandy went over and hit Seth on the shoulder. He put his arm around Ryan and said "So Ryan you feel like going out and doing some manly sports later, we will leave Seth here, he might be afraid of breaking a nail"
"Dad, I was mocking Julie" Seth mumbled.
"Son, its ok, like your mother said we will still love you"
"But Dad, no I'm I'm"
Kirsten had to bite her lip in order not to burst into laughter, as did Sandy and Ryan.
Sandy walked towards his wife and grabbed her hand saying "Come on honey, lets get you to the children hospital. There are a lot of kids out there who will be delighted to see you"
Kirsten gladly accepted her husband's hand and the two of them left the kitchen.
"See you later boys….. I mean Ryan" Kirsten shouted from the front door.
The boys could hear their parents laughing in the distance.
Seth looked up at a laughing Ryan and said in a sarcastic tone
"So did you hear my mom's funny now? Ha Ha Ha"
