A/N: So here's I. And I've kinda been a bit obsessed with watching Glee. It has essentially taken over my life. But, American Idol is on, and that has taken a precedent over Glee. But I have the first two seasons on DVD, so I'm set. And I really really like it. So, I hope you enjoy this chapter. And I've already started working on M. I know, no life right here. Don't rub it in.

Zach POV

I walk down the hall quietly, peeking into Jordan's room, seeing him fast asleep in bed. I open the door across the hall, and then realize that Mike is at college, and he wouldn't be in his room. I shut the door quietly, and open Emmaleigh's door. She's at her desk, scribbling something down on a sheet of paper.

"Em." I say to her quietly. She whips around, surprised and obviously shaken by the sound of my voice. She relaxes, and takes a breath. "It's nearly ten thirty. You might wanna get to bed." I tell her softly, and she nods at me.

"Yeah, I was sleeping, and I had a dream that I didn't do my Spanish homework. Then I woke up and realized that I had to do my Spanish." She explains while putting her homework away.

"Okay, just get to bed. Night, love you." I say to her, while walking out of the room.

"Love you too." I hear her say to me as I shut the door. I go down to the end of the hallway where Manni's room is. I open the door slightly, and see Manni sitting on her bed, the glow of her laptop illuminating her face.

"Manni, what are you doing?" I ask her, and she snaps her hear towards me.

"Oh, uh, nothing Dad." She stammers to me. I raise an eyebrow at this.

"Well, can I see what you're doing?" I ask her, and she gives me a guilty look. I walk over to her and glance at her computer. She's on I.M. and she's talking to someone.

"Who are you talking to?" I say, and she looks guiltier than before.

"Bennet." She murmurs quietly to me. I turn the computer and read their conversation. I feel my stomach twist slightly at the conversation they're having. I shut the computer, and look at her.

"Manni. You know I don't like Bennet. But I really don't like what you were talking about." I say to her severely, and she opens her mouth to say something. "I find that really inappropriate. It is too late to discuss this now, but we will most definitely discuss this in the morning." I say to her, while picking her laptop up. I turn on my heel, and walk out the door. "Goodnight Samantha." I say to her curtly, and walk out into the hallway, down towards my room.

This is a line. Yeah, don't question it. The Next Day. Line here. Indicating the Next Day.

I sit down at the table in the kitchen, and I look up to see Emmaleigh standing in the doorway. She sits down across from me, and looks at me.

"God, that was stupid." She bluntly tells me.

"Excuse me?"

"What you did to Manni. Please, do you have any idea what they were talking about?" She says to me, rolling her eyes.

"Well, he said that he had a problem. Manni said she wanted to help him. He said he needed help now. She said she wish she could go over and help him now. He said that he would love that. I think I have a right to be a bit upset." I say to her. She locks eyes with me, forcing me to look away.

"Did you know what they were talking about?" She repeats a bit more severely.

"To be honest, it sounded like some kind of, real inappropriate flirting. I don't want to say this, but foreplay maybe." I say to her, as I feel the tips of my ears turn warm. I don't want to have this conversation with my daughter. Even though she's nearly 18.

"Are you really that dense?" She says to me.

"I don't appreciate that tone of voice Emmaleigh. Even though you are nearly an adult and done with high school, you still live here, and respect me."

"Dad. Manni came into my room upset last night. She said you were mad at her, for talking to Bennet. She said that you were mad at her for having an inappropriate conversation with him. Except that it wasn't inappropriate. She said that you could even check the history." Emmaleigh says. "Where's the laptop?" She asks me. I go up to my room, and grab the computer. I bring it back down, and Emmaleigh flips it open. She types something in, and Manni's conversation pops up.

BAndrews46: hey, did you get the math homework?

Mannibearx: yeah, did you?

BAndrews46: nope.

Mannibearx: oh, that sucks.

BAndrews46: yeah, i have a real problem with it.

Manniebearx: well, maybe i could help you with it?

BAndrews46: when? i need help now manni.

Mannibearx: well, i wish i could go help you now.

BAndrews46: i would love that.:]

BAndrews46: manni, you there?

BAndrews46: well, i hope you can explain it to me in homeroom. i need to do well on this test.

BAndrews46: well, talk to you soon. thanks.

I stare at the conversation in shock. "Well, now that you know the whole picture, you might wanna go tell Manni that you're sorry. Better hurry, she's going to start walking soon." Emmaleigh says to me, while picking up an orange as she leaves. I get out of my chair and check the living room. She's not in there. As I spin around, I nearly collide with Becca.

"Calm down Speed Racer." She quips to me as I see Manni's familiar light blonde hair slip through the door way.

"Manni!" I yell to her. She turns around, and she doesn't meet my eye.

"Look, I'm sorry about last night. I jumped to a conclusion that was untrue, and inappropriate." She looks up at me, a piece of hair partially obscuring her face. I walk over to her, and give her a hug. "You're just my baby girl Manni. I want to you to stay that way, forever, even though I know you won't. I just want you to be safe. I'm sorry about what I said, and how upset I made you." I say into her hair, as I hug her.

"I know Dad. I'm 16 now, you've got to let up a bit. But I know what you thought, and I promise, nothing like that will happen until I at least move out." She says to me, while moving away from me.

"No. That won't happen until you're thirty." I say to her. "Right Emmaleigh?" I say to my other daughter as she passes us.

"That was a rule? Too late." She says, and walks out of the house, and into her car before I can say anything. I stand there in shock for a second, and Manni starts to laugh. I shake my head at this.

"Go to school." I tell Manni, and she gives me hug before walking out the door.

"Love you dad."

"Love you too."

A/N: So I know this was different, but it just kind of popped into my head. I couldn't really think of much for I, and this is what I came up with. Hope you liked. And you are lucky. Two chapters in one day.
