Michael arrived at Boltons house on Perth Road, it was a small flat he lived in, much too small for a party of this size, his Mum was out, for the night, and wasn't due back till late, so he was having a party.
"All right Bolton" Michael said, as he was handed a bottle of beer, he didn't really want to drink it, but he thought he'd better, so he slowly drank it, making the one bottle last for the whole hour.
Eddie was in a bad mood, everyone in Uniform knew it, he was angry with his son, but was talking it out on everyone, Smithy was not pleased when he got landed with going out with the sergeant again.
They were in the patrol car, when a call came through. "Sierra Oscar 52, can you please go to a noise complaint at flat ½ 137 Perth Road"
Eddie turned his radio on "On way" he said, really not in the mood for some chavs having a party.
Eddie and Smithy walked up the stairs in the close, he rang the bell, but no one answered, so he banged it harder, until a very drunk teenager answered. Eddie recognised him as one of the boys from the school, and he remembered Rachel mentioning that Michael had been hanging around with them, so he invited himself in.
"Eh, you got a warrant" Bolton asked.
"No, but we can get one" Eddie said not believing the gall of this boy, it was then Eddie noticed his son, then seen some boys with cannabis.
Smithy walked to the stereo, and pulled the plug out.
"Right Parties over" Eddie shouted, "Everyone start leaving quietly" he said, and the kids all started leaving, Eddie walked over to his son and tapped his shoulder "Everyone except you" Eddie said.
Once everyone had left, and Bolton had been given a quick lecture, and the promised of a phone call to his mother the next day Eddie left with his son.
Eddie put his son into the back of the car "Michael, what were you doing there, Rachel was worried sick, we had no idea where you were, you didn't even think to take your phone with you" Eddie said.
"Look, Dad I'm 14 now, and you treat me like a kid" Michael said
"That's because you are a child, now come on, get into the house" Eddie said, as he walked into the house followed by his gloomy son.
"Rachel, it's just us" he said as he came into the house, Rachel was relieved to see Michael safe and well, but her eyes were stuck on Eddie, she had seen him in uniform before, but phew, he was hot.
"Right, apologise to Rachel now" Eddie said.
"Sorry Rachel"
"I was worried Michael" Rachel said
"And I said I was sorry"
"Right, I have to go back to work, Michael, go to bed" he said, and as he walked upstairs, Rachel kissed him.
"I'll be home in 5 hours, why don't you go off for some sleep" he said to Rachel.
"OK, and I'll wake up in time for you coming back" she whispered seductively.
Rachel was in Eddies bed when she heard Becca crying, she glanced at his clock, it as 5.30am. She got out of the bed and walked to the spare room where she was in the bed.
"Mummy, bad dream" she said and Rachel held the little girl in her arms.
"Shhh, it's OK baby" Rachel said "It's not real, it was just a dream"
"Mummy, wheres Mr Muggles" she said. Rachel looked around the room and found the stuffed dog on the floor.
"Oh, here he's here, naughty Mr Muggles falling off the bed" Rachel said causing her daughter to giggle. "Now, it's still early, why don't you try and go back to sleep for a little while" Rachel said. Becca closed her eyes and Rachel soothed her back to sleep, before kissing her head and putting her back down to sleep.
Rachel went downstairs for a drink, just as Eddie came back in.
"Hay Love" Rachel said a she came out of the kitchen wearing just her pyjamas.
"Hi, you haven't stayed awake the whole night have you" Eddie said.
"No, Bec woke up, she had a bad dream" she said as Eddie wrapped his arms around her and pulled her over to the couch in the living room, where he lay her on the couch and started to make out with her.
"Eddie, are you not tired" Rachel said
"Yeah, I'm tired, but I'm also feeling a little energized" he relied, and he was right he was feeling a little energized and Rachel could tell, they went as quickly and as quietly as they could up to Eddies room.
Rachel woke up a few hours later, she left Eddie sleeping and woke Becca up, she took her into the bathroom and after bathing her, got her dressed in a pretty dress for church. Bella was next to wake up, she went downstairs and Rachel was making breakfast, whilst Becca played in the living room.
"Good Morning Honey" Rachel said as Bella walked over and hugged her.
"Morning" she replied, she poured out a large glass of Orange Juice and Rachel gave her some toast.
"So, I guess we must be going to church at 12" Bella said after glancing at the clock, it was already 10am.
"Yep, I guess we are, but your father is fast asleep" Rachel said.
"He'll be up soon, he never sleeps long when he's been on night shift" Bella said, Rachel wasn't so sure though, he didn't go straight to sleep.
Rachel went upstairs and woke Eddie up. "Oh, you look exhausted, why don't you stay in bed, I'll take the kids to church" Rachel offered.
"Would you, Michael might not go, don't force him if he says no" Eddie said, by now Michael was awake and in the living room.
"Right Kids, Dad's going to stay in bed, so I'll take you to church" Rachel said.
"I'm not going" Michael said sitting his feet on the table and putting on MTV.
"OK" Rachel said and walked into the kitchen followed by Bella.
"Why is he allowed to miss Mass, Dad never lets us Miss Mass" Bella said.
"Because I'm not going to force him, and I think you should go get your coat and shoes on" Rachel said trying to take her mind off her brother.
The 3 girls got into the car and drove the Church.
Eddie got up an hour later, he walked into the living room and Michael was still sat with his pyjamas on and his feet on the coffee table.
"Feet" Eddie said as a reminder to get them off the table.
Michael moved his feet and Eddie sat on the opposite couch.
"Right, last night, explain"
"Nothing to explain Dad, just went to a party that's all"
"Right well, just don't do it again, now go get dresses we're going into Town" Eddie said, and Michael did as he was told.
