Explanations, Jokes and Desperation...

"Morning" Sandy and Kirsten said simultaneously as Sophie entered the kitchen the next morning. Kirsten and Sandy exchanged a look and burst into laughter.

Sophie still looked a little...well sleepy and just groaned in response what caused Sandy and Kirsten to laugh even more.

"ohhh my head, Sandford do you have some Aspirin in this house?" Sophie asked closing her eyes. Sandy stopped giggling "No sorry ma, I don't think so cause i think i took everything we had yesterday...". Kirsten put a hand on her stomach cause it began to hurt from all her laughing. "WHAT? WHY?" Sophie said annoyed.

"Well cause SOMEONE hit his head with a bag last night" Kirsten jumped in. Sandy joined her in uncontrollable giggling again. "What? I..I don't know what..." Sophie began but suddenly it hit her. Her head hurts like hell. "Someone" hurt Sandy last night. Kirsten can't stop laughing. I MUST HAVE BEEN DRUNK , Sophie thought. O M G. "I ..I wasn't...was I?" Sophie rambled embarrassed. "What? A little...DRUNK?" Sandy said trying to control his laughter. "What? oh my god...i should...goooo for a walk" Sophie said , trying to escape. "Nonononono when you said this walk-thing the last time, it ended with a head hurting like hell for me...well and you" Sandy said grabbing her arm before she could leave.

Kirsten handed Sophie a cup of coffee "here, i bet it will help". "Thank you very much" Sophie said , "polite" as always.

"You know Sophie the conversation with you last night was pretty...interesting" Kirsten teased. Finally she had something to tease her mother-in-law with not the other way around.

"yea ma, thank god i talked to you, otherwise i would've never knew how my daughter's called" Sandy said grinning.

"oh yes and i learned something new about me ,too, i can't get enough of CHILDREN?" Kirsten added laughing.

"Whhhat?" Sophie said , her jaw dropping.

Sandy and Kirsten wanted to continue their teasing but Sophie was quicker "Sandford what happened to your feet?" Sophie said shocked, looking down at her sons' feet.

"Well... last night we heard "SOMEONE" in the house and something braking in the kitchen so, of course, we thought it would be a criminal, so i made my way downstairs to see what's going on BUT THEN UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS SOME BROKEN GLASS CAUSE SOMEONE HAD BROKEN A BOTTLE AND I STEPPED IN IT " Sandy explained still amused because of his mothers' expression. "can't believe it" Sophie murmured and had to sit down because now her head was spinning even more. Reason: ALCOHOL OR SANDY COHEN?

"What else did i miss?" Sophie started but everyone was interrupted by a sleepy Sophie (THE 2nd one this morning) entering the kitchen.

"Hey sweetheart" Kirsten said bending down and giving her a kiss on her cheek. "Hi beautiful" Sandy said doing the same thing Kirsten did seconds before.

"Hi mommy, hi daddy, hi nana" Sophie said stetching her arms out to Sandy so he would scoope her up in his arms, what he quickly did.

"Hello little girl" Sophie Sr. just said, grateful for the little interruption.

"Yea i know, we were nasty but i've never seen you that way before" Sandy said giggling later that afternoon when Sandy Sophie and Sophie went to do some shopping for dinner. Kirsten stayed home cause she claimed about needing to watch her telenovela or her life would end. "you WERE nasty? god knows you ARE" Sophie said mocking.

Sandy pulled his little girl out of the back seat and scooped her up in his arms "mhh maybe" he said grinning.

The three of them went inside , well 2 of them went and one of them was carried inside and they started looking for everything that was written on the list Kirsten gave them.

"What's a cadrforhd?" Sophie Sr. asked. "what? let me see" Sandy said taking the list from his mother "CAROTTES. That is obviously!" he said annoyed.

"Yea that something is wrong with someones HANDWRITING!" Sophie said laughing triumphantly. "WHAT? Nothing's wrong with my handwriting, because you know what.." Sandy began but quickly noticed the large smile that was spread across his mothers face. "What?" Sandy asked confused. "Nothing my little boy" Sophie said laughing and patting Sandys cheek like he would be still a 6-year-old. "what does that supposed to mean?" Sandy said even more confused. "You always had a problem with your handwriting-confi" Sophie began but was interrupted by a pouting Sandy. Sophie started to laugh "Don't cry baby-boy" Sophie said teasing. Seeing her sons expression she knew she had succeeded in changing the subject from her. "HEY! You know what? Sophie ROSE and I , we'll go left and you go right to look for some fresh CAROTTES!" Sandy said , his expression like an angry child, turning the corner with his little girl in his arms, without waiting for an answer.

"Sophie?" Sophie heard a female voice say when she picked up her fathers' cell. "Mommy is this you?" Sophie answered excited. "Yea sweetie, it's me, where's daddy?" Kirsten asked confused and a little worried that Sophie had Sandys' cell and he didn't seem to notice this little fact, where is he?. "Ummm he looks for some cadrforhd" Sophie explained with the new word for carottes she had learned from her nana a few minutes before. "WHAT?" Kirsten said, now worried. What the hell is a cadrforhd? "Honey, please go back to daddy, now!" Kirsten said. "I donno where..." Sophie began. "Where what? what's wrong honey?" Kirsten pushed. "uuuh where he is" Sophie added. Kirsten was about to freak out when she suddenly heard a quiet giggle in the background. A very familiar one. Sandys laugh. "HONEY GIVE YOUR DADDY TO ME, NOW! AND IF HE TELLS YOU THAT YOU SHOULD KEEP PRETENDING HE ISN'T THERE TELL HIM MOMMY IS NOT AS STUPID AS SHE LOOKS AND GETS REALLY REALLY MAD!" Kirsten said semi-serious.

When Kirsten didn't get a response she was about to yell again at her daughter but then, suddenly she heard the familiar voice of her husband "Heeey..." Sandy said cheerly.

"Hello mr.hilarious" Kirsten said trying to sound serious but quickly failed and started giggling. "Soo sweetie what do you want?" Sandy said smiling. "First question: When will you be home?" Kirsten asked.

"I don't know. I think soon".

"Did you ask your mother why she drank that much?" Kirsten continued asking, curiously.

"Umm no i didn't yet cause i didn't speak to her the last 20 minutes" Sandy said shortly.

"What? Why i thought you b.." Kirsten tried to say but was interrupted by Sandy "Yea we are here together but she...said something i didn't...appreciate" he explained.

"Ohh ooookay" Kirsten said confused.

"Well i'll explain it to you later, i've to hang up or our little one here will run away and i can't find her for ages" Sandy said "See you in a few minutes. I love you".

"Um yea okay honey i love" Kirsten began but was interrupted by the beeping "you,too" she finished sighing and hung up as well.

"Hey baby we're back" Sandy called as he waltzed through the front door of his house with two bags in one hand and his daughters hand in the other.

"oh hey sweetheart" Kirsten said as she came out of the kitchen. Sophie ran towards her and flew into her arms, Kirsten softly kissed her cheek.

"How was your little shopping trip" Kirsten asked Sophie. "It was funny". "How was your tv show?" Sophie Sr snapped. "Very relaxing, thank you" Kirsten answered calm and left the kitchen and went upstairs to put her little daughter down for her nap.

A few minutes she returned and heard loud voices from the kitchen "Noo i didn' tell you cause you would've never talked to me again!"

"WHAT? ARE YOU SERIOUS? SOPHIE COHEN IS AFRAID OF SOMETHING?" Sandy said his voice half-amused half-angry. "You just don't know me" Sophie said and went out of the kitchen, didn't even bother to look at Kirsten when she passed her and left the house.

Kirsten made her way into the kitchen and saw Sandy standing in front of the sink, his hands on either of the sides, his head hanging down. She went behind him and ran her hands um and down his back. Sandy slowly turned around and kissed her softly before hugging her tight. "What's wrong?" Kirsten asked worried, not understanding why her mother in law and her husband were fighting all of a sudden. "I asked her why she drank, i mean.. Sophie Cohen doesn't drink, you know what i mean" Sandy answered, still holding Kirsten tight. "Well...what did she say?". "Because of Julie" Sandy said. Kirsten was shocked and pulled away from Sandy to look into his eyes "What? You mean she was afraid we would be mad at her or would kick her out or wouldn't talk to her ever again?". "Yea kinda..." Sandy said looking down.

"Ohh come on honey, it wasn't that bad, i mean it wasn't fair, but if Julie isn't mad, we are not mad at her. I'll talk to her and we'll just forget the last few days, okay?" Kirsten said reassurely and pulled Sandy a little down to be able to kiss his forehead.

Sandy smiled. She always knew how to make everything okay. One of the many many reasons Sandy Cohen loves Kirsten Cohen. He softly kissed her lips instead of answering her.

After another hug Sandy asked seducevly "So unfortunately i need to do some work in my study but maybe you want to ,,join" me later?". Kirsten giggled "Mhh okay i'll wrapp some christmas presents and then...i'll think about your offer!" she smiled and they both kissed passionatly, their tongues dancing around each other.

Sandy caressed her back while Kirstens hands were tangled in Sandys hair. When the kiss got too passionately and the innocent touches of Sandy moved under Kirstens t-shirt and were not so innocent anymore, Kirsten broke the kiss breathlessly "Sorry honey, you have to wait a little bit - work comes first...and later the pleasure!" Kirsten said seducevly and stroked his arm when she walked past him , up the stairs into their bedroom to do her gift-wrapping, leaving Sandy alone in the kitchen, speechless and feeling hot.

Now the only question for Sandy Cohen was "can i wait that long?". He was desperate to be with her. Just the thought of his wife and him having sex in his study made him feel warm all over, but Sandy knew he had to wait, yea he had to wait and hope. Hope there weren't many gifts which needed to get wrapped in.

A smiling but desperate Sandy made his way into his study and began to work and wait, wait for his beautiful wife...
