"Kids! Hurry or you'll be late for school!" Bailey yelled from the kitchen.
Brady chased Bentley down the stairs. "Dude! Give that back!"
"What? This?" Bentley asked, waving around his younger brother's hat. "You don't need to wear this to be cool. You're my little brother, so you have my genes... That alone makes you awesome!"
Brady rolled his eyes as they entered the kitchen. "Whatever dries the tears, Bentley."
Bentley put the hat back on Brady's head so the bill was over his eyes. He smiled and walked over the Bailey. He placed a kiss on her cheek and greeted, "Good morning, Mom."
Bailey smiled and chuckled. "Good morning, Bentley. What are you so happy about?"
"Nothing. I just have a good feeling about today, that's all," Bentley answered, pouring orange juice into a cup.
"Alright," Bailey said, shrugging. "Oh, don't forget to pick up Brady from school today. I'm on taxi duty until your sister isn't grounded."
"You know, that could be a while. You should start charging her for all the rides," Brady suggested.
Bailey laughed. "Here are your lunches," Bailey said, handing her sons the brown paper bags. "Come straight home after school. Addison and Woody are in town and they're coming to visit."
Brady's face lit up. "Uncle Woody's here?!"
Bailey nodded and took a bite of her yogurt. "They'll be here for about a week or so."
"I miss them. They use to be around all the time, but now that Woody got that job..." Bentley said.
"They miss you too. Addison said they've looked forward to visiting."
Bentley opened the cabinet and grabbed a breakfast bar. "Come on, Brady. Let's go."
Brady picked up his bag. "Bye Mom. See you later."
"Bye boys," Bailey said as they walked out the door. She closed her eyes and sighed, then yelled, "KINLEY! Get down here now!"
Kinley marched down the stairs. "I'm right here, Mom! You don't have to yell."
Bailey handed Kinley her lunch and grabbed the keys. "Let's leave."
Kinley sighed and followed her mom to the car. As they got in, Kinley asked, "Can I at least drive?"
"No," Bailey answered. She started the car and backed out. On the way, they got stuck in traffic. "I'm going to be late for work."
"You know, if I had my car, you wouldn't have to take me to school and get stuck in traffic... Then you wouldn't be late for work," Kinley said.
"Kinley, you broke the rules and now you're grounded. End of story."
Kinley slouched in her seat and looked out the window. "You don't even need a job, Mom. We're freakin' loaded."
"Having a job takes my mind off things," Bailey explained.
"Like that Bentley's having a kid?" Kinley asked, raising her eyebrows.
Bailey sighed. "Don't remind me. I raised three of my own... I don't need another one."
"Most guys who knock up their girlfriends always bail, though."
"I will not let Bentley think that he can just leave Chandler to take care of the baby by herself."
"What if Chandler doesn't want his help?" Kinley asked.
"Then we'll pay child support," Bailey answered. The rest of the ride was silent. After about twenty minutes, they finally pulled into the parking lot. "We're here. I'll be back later to pick you up. Be out here at four, okay?"
"I don't have my phone. How am I suppose to know what time it is to come out?"
Bailey sighed. "It's called a clock, Kinley."
Kinley rolled her eyes and got out of the car. "Whatever," she said, slamming the door.
Bailey rolled down the window. "Four o'clock, Kinley Rose!" At that, she drove off.
Kinley walked into the school and headed for her locker. As she approached it, she saw Chandler and Bentley. "Hey Channy! How was your weekend?" she asked.
"Fine, I guess," Chandler answered.
Bentley shoved his sister. "You're not going to say anything to me?"
Kinley hit her brother with her science book. "I just saw you like an hour ago. I didn't think it was necessary..."
Bentley frowned. "I know you're pissed from being grounded, but you don't have to take it out on me."
Kinley shut her locker. "I'm not pissed at being grounded! I am mad at the fact that my older brother couldn't keep it in his pants, so he knocked up my best friend!" She turned around causing her blonde hair to hit Bentley's face. She walked off toward her first class.
Bentley spit and stuck out his tongue to get off the hair. "I swear, we're not related."
Chandler giggled. "Listen, Bentley... I have an appointment later today, if you want to come. You know, to see the baby..."
Bentley looked down. "Um, I-I can't..."
"You can't or you don't want to?" Chandler asked.
"I really can't, Chandler. Some old family friends are in town and we haven't seen them in years," Bentley explained.
Chandler pouted. "Oh..."
Bentley huffed and grabbed her hands. He intertwined their fingers, causing her to smile. "I'll see if I can get out of it."
~*~*~*~
Kinley quickly walked down the halls, dodging all the other people. She felt someone grab her wrist and pull her aside. "What the hell?"
"Well, that wasn't exactly how I'd imagine my greeting..." that someone said.
Kinley laughed. "Sorry Scott," she apologized. "I still can't believe we go to the same school! I've never even see you!"
"Doesn't surprise me. I mean, I barely spend time at school, but now I have a good reason to start coming," Scott said.
Kinley giggled. "Stop that!"
"Stop what?" Scott asked as if he had no idea what she was talking about.
Kinley hit his chest and kept her hand there. "Stop being so sweet!"
"Fine." Scott turned around to walk away.
Kinley gasped and grabbed his arm, causing him to face her again. "I changed my mind! Stay here."
Scott chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Are you sure? I might come on as 'sweet' again."
"I wouldn't mind, actually." Kinley stretched up on her tip-toes and planted a kiss on his lips.
Scott tightened his grip around her waist to deepen the kiss. Kinley moved one of her hands to the back of his neck and the other to his hair.
"Awh, Mr. Carrington! Good to see you again!" a woman greeted.
Kinley and Scott broke away from each other quickly. Kinley stepped behind Scott in embarrassment. "Hello Principle Clarkson," Scott stated. "It's good to see you too. How's life been?"
Principle Clarkson smirked. "It's also good to see that your attitude hasn't changed either," she answered sarcastically. She leaned to her right a little bit. "Well, well, well, Miss Martin. It seems that you and Mr. Carrington here have become real close."
"Yes ma'am," Kinley answered with her head down.
"Just be careful around him, Miss Martin." She looked to Scott. "And just know that I'm watching you." Principle Clarkson walked away with her head held high.
Kinley came out from behind Scott. "What did she mean by 'be careful'?"
Scott shrugged. "I don't know. What did she mean by 'watching' me?"
Kinley giggled. "I bet she's going to start stalking you!"
Scott shivered and muttered, "Creeper."
Kinley laughed. This time, she wrapped her arms around his waist and stuck her hands in his back pockets. "So, I've been thinking about us..."
"What about us?" Scott asked, his lips at her forehead.
"Are we a couple or what?"
Scott closed his eyes. "Well..."
Kinley sighed. "I get it. It would be bad for your reputation to have a girlfriend..."
"Actually, I was going to say yes. But if you don't want to-"
Kinley stopped him with a kiss. "Oh trust me, I want to."
~*~*~*~
"Mr. Martin will see you now," Jenny, Cody's assistant of nearly twenty years, said.
"Thank you," a young man said. He entered Cody's office with a briefcase in hand. "Hello, Mr. Martin."
Cody looked up from his cell phone and stood up. "Well, good afternoon young man! It's been a long time, hasn't it?" He extended his hand.
Kyle Hudson shook Cody's hand. "I'm not so young anymore, Mr. Martin. I am thirty now."
"Where has the time gone?" Cody asked. "It seems like it was just yesterday that I met you on the S.S. Tipton!"
"How's your life with Mrs. Martin? Good, I assume."
"Yes, still happily married. We have three kids-" He picked up a picture off his desk. "-Bentley and Kinley are our twins who are seventeen and Brady is our youngest. He'll be fourteen next month."
"Lovely family," Kyle said, taking the picture.
"How about you? Do you have a family?" Cody asked.
Kyle smiled and handed Cody back the picture. "Yes, my wife and I will be celebrating our fifth anniversary soon and we have a little girl who is three."
"Congratulations! How is Kaleb?"
"He's good and engaged."
Cody nodded. "Well, shall we get started?" He motioned toward the chair in front of his desk.
Kyle took a seat and set his briefcase in his lap. "How's this going to work Mr. Martin?"
"Well, we're just going to discuss what you'll be doing while working here," Cody explained.
"Isn't it ironic that I got transferred to your building in Boston?"
"Very!" Cody laughed. "Well, you'll just be doing basically everything you did back in Portland. I just needed to meet with you before you start."
Kyle nodded. "Okay, sounds good."
Cody smiled and looked at the clock. "Well, it was good seeing you again but I really need to get home. We have some old friends coming to over for dinner." He grabbed his coat and briefcase.
Kyle did the same and followed Cody out of the office. "Goodbye sir," Jenny said.
"Goodbye Jenny," Cody replied.
Cody and Kyle entered the elevator and pressed the G button for the parking garage. "So, who is coming over?" Kyle asked.
"Some friends that Bailey and I went to school with at Seven Seas High," Cody answered.
"Oh cool! You still keep in touch? I haven't talked to any of my friends from the ship in years."
"Well, Woody's job keeps him traveling a lot and-" Cody was interrupted by the lights flickering.
Cody and Kyle grabbed the railings inside as the elevator jerked. "What was that?" Kyle asked.
"I don't know," Cody answered. He let go of the railing and pressed the red emergency button. The elevator screeched and jerked again. Cody sighed and said, "We may be here a while."
