A/N: So sorry for the lack of updates. Last week was Spirit Week and I had NO time to update. This week is normal, so hopefully I can squeeze in a few more chapters.

A few points before the chapter:
1. Cody is a VP for a HUGE company. (Cody and Bailey are kinda rich...)
2. Bailey will be a stay at home mom. (Cody makes enough money, so she doesn't have to go to work.)
3. Basically the whole family knows about Bailey and the twins.
4. This is at the END of the third month.

Disclaimer: OMG! I realized that I actually own characters! June, Amber, and another that was mentioned. They're are in this chapter! Woot!

Cody walked in with about ten fliers in his hand. "Hey babe! I'm home."

"In here," Bailey called from the extra room in their apartment that they used for storage.

Cody entered the see Bailey standing in the middle of the room, with her hands on her hips. "What are you doing?" he asked.

Bailey continued to look around the small room. "Observing."

"Why?" Cody asked as he rubbed her shoulders.

Bailey let her head fall against Cody. "For the babies' room."

Cody stopped and sighed. "How many times must I remind you, Bailey," he pressed. "We're going to move."

"I'll believe it when I see it! We haven't even looked at houses yet!"

Cody handed her the giant pile of fliers. "Here. These are in our budget."

Bailey took them from his hand. "Since when do we have a budget?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I don't know..."

Bailey giggled as she began to look at each piece of paper. When she finished, she gave the one she liked to Cody. "This."

"Just that?" Cody asked, sort of shocked.

Bailey nodded. "Yup."

Cody looked at the information. It was the most expensive, but they could still afford it. It also just happen to be the smallest. He flipped through the fliers himself and pulled out his personal favorite. "How about this one?" He smiled and pointed to a picture. "Look how big the closet is!"

Bailey pushed it away. "Cody, I'm not London. I don't own that many clothes and/or shoes."

"You got a point." He paused. "I promise we will move soon, but can you promise me something in return?"

Bailey nodded again.

"Promise me that we will hold off on decorating the twins' room..."

"Promise, sweetie." Bailey slighty kissed Cody. The drier buzzer went off from the laundry room, and she headed to turn it off.

Cody followed and watched her as she got clothes out of the drier. "You want some help?" he asked, leaning on the wall.

Bailey stood up and answered, "No, I can do it." She bent back over to get the remainder of the clothes. Bailey kicked the drier door shut and tried to exit, only to get stopped by Cody.

He stood in front of the door, spreading his arms across the frame. "Going somewhere?"

"Cody... Not now..." Bailey whined. "I'm tired."

Cody put his arms down and stepped aside so his wife could pass.

Bailey passed him, not saying a word. They both went in the living room and Bailey set the clothes on the couch.

Cody sat down next to the clothes and began to fold some towels. "So, how was your day?"

Bailey shrugged. "Eh, nothing special."

"Come on. Something had to happen."

Bailey continued to fold clothes. "I went to see Amber today."

"And..."

"I'm healthy, and they're healthy."

"Did you see them?"

"Yeah."

"Bailey, why aren't you talking to me? Usually I come home from work, and you tell me all about your day."

Bailey slightly shrugged. "I don't know."

Cody sighed. "Well, neither do I." He got up from the couch and went into their bedroom.

The doorbell rang and Bailey set down Cody's shirt that she was folding. She walked over and opened the door.

"Sissy!!!!!" a high pitched voice screamed at the door.

Bailey gaped as she saw her sister standing in the doorway.

"Bailey, say something!" her older sister exclaimed. Before Bailey could respond, Riley Pickett pulled her into a hug.

"Riley.. What are you doing here? I mean, aren't you suppose to be in-"

Riley cut off Bailey by putting up her hand. "I'm out, and isn't that what really matters?!"

"Has it really been five years already?"

Riley nodded. "Sure has! Make that the worst five years of my life!"

Bailey placed her hands on her hips. "Well, you deserved it considering what you did."

Riley sighed. "Bailey, I did it because I had to..."

Bailey decided to change the subject. "Why are you here?"

"Ma and Pa wouldn't take me in."

"Then how'd you get to Boston?.."

"They gave me money to go away. I asked where I was suppose to go, and they recommended Boston because you are here."

"And what makes you believe that I'll let you stay with me?"

"Because she can," Cody chimed in.

Bailey turned around. "No, Cody! She is NOT staying here!"

"Come on, Bailey. She just got out of prison..." Cody took a step closer to Bailey.

Bailey stepped back. "I don't care!"

"She's your sister for crying out loud! And the Bailey I know and love would do anything for family."

Bailey sighed and turned back to Riley. "Fine. You can stay, but only until you get back on your feet."

Riley began jumping up and down. "Thank you, Sissy!" She embraced her little sister as she entered the apartment.

Cody kissed Bailey's forehead then extended his hand toward Riley. "I don't think we've met. I'm Cody Martin."

Riley shook Cody's hand. "Riley Pickett. This is a nice place you two have."

Cody huffed. "Thanks, I guess."

Riley laughed. "Well, well, well, Bailey. I see that you're getting bigger these days!" She walked over and poked Bailey's stomach.

Bailey slapped her hand away. "I'm pregnant," she said coldly.

"Oh, I know, Sissy. I'm just messing with you! So, how far along?"

"End of third month."

"Wow! That's a big baby!"

"I'm having twins, smart one!"

"Oh, I'm not smart! That's why you got to go on that stupid boat. Because you're a genius!"

"I'm not a genius!"

Riley scoffed. "Oh please!"

"I'm not! Cody's the genius!" Bailey yelled, pointing to her husband.

"I really don't want to be brought into this, babe," Cody whispered.

"Shush, Cody! This doesn't concern you!"

He rolled his eyes. "Sorry..." he muttered.

"Really? Because smart guys turn me on," Riley said, winking at Cody.

"Oh my Gosh! You're flirting with my husband!" Bailey yelled in disbelief.

"N-No she isn't," Cody stammered, still staring at Riley. She was indeed attractive. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and was very slim. Riley Pickett sure did look good for just getting out of jail.

Bailey gasped and headed for the door.

"Where are you going, Sissy?" Riley called.

"Out! And stop calling me Sissy!" Bailey yelled.

"But I've called you that since you were born!"

Bailey glared at Riley, then slammed the door.

"3...2..." Cody counted. "..1..."

As Cody said '1', Bailey stormed back in and said, "I forgot my keys!" She then left the apartment again, leaving Cody and Riley alone.

Bailey got in the car and began to drive. She didn't know where she was going and she didn't really care. She began to sob uncontrollably as she tightened her grip on the steering wheel.

Bailey wiped her eyes and muttered, "Effing hormones.." Her cell phone rang and she picked it up, seeing a call from Cody. She hit the IGNORE button, but immediately regretted it. Why am I mad at Cody? It's Riley who was all over him... But he was staring at her... UGH! Why does she have to be so pretty?!

A few moments later, she received a text message from Cody:

Bailey, come home! You're being rediculous.

Bailey gasped. "I'm being rediculous?!" She set the phone down and continued to drive to who knows where.

CAILEYCAILEYCAILEY

Riley sat on the couch, holding a pillow close to her. Cody paced the room, waiting for Bailey to call or text him back.

"I'm sorry 'bout that," Riley said.

"It's okay. Bailey's the one you really should apologize to though."

Riley looked down. "Yeah, I know.."

Cody bit his lip. "If you don't mind me asking, why did you go to prison?"

Riley cocked her head. "Bailey never told you?"

Cody shook his head. "Nope. And it wasn't until last month that she confessed that you did go." Cody paused, then added, "If that makes sense..."

Riley nodded. "I stole something."

"What was it.."

"Stuff at a gas station.."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, and Bailey was the one who turned me in! We went together one day because I needed to pick up some things for this guy... But I didn't have any money, and neither did Sissy."

Cody was silent then finally said, "A guy?" Bailey did say she fooled around with some 'bad boys'.

"Yeah...... But that's not important! She treated me like I had killed someone..." Riley continued. "I stole a drink and a candy bar, for goodness sake!"

"How'd you get five years?"

"KettlePot took it pretty seriously.."

"Oh.."

"So, what do you think?"

Cody was confused. "Huh?"

"Do you think I deserved it?"

"You did steal, Riley. But why did everyone react the way they did?"

Riley sighed. "My parents raised us to be 'angels' and Bailey was definately one... Never once did she disobey or disappointment Ma and Pa..."

Cody didn't know what to say. She stole, but Bailey did exaggerate.

"My parents said they don't want anything to do with me..." Riley began to cry.

Cody walked over to her and sat down. He put a hand on her shoulder and said, "You can stay here as long as you need to.."

Riley smiled, just hoping that Bailey would understand.

---

A/N: Riley's back! And now you know why she went to prison. I had planned something small this whole time. Bailey is a good girl after all, and she doesn't like to break the rules. Now you see that it's a bug deal to 'Sissy'.

Please review!

Thanks!
