Enjoy.


It's been three months since Shelby left Hopper. Hopper is over his sadness,but he sometimes thinks about Shelby and wonders what she's doing now. Clover,Hopper,Tessa,and Molt were sitting on the sponge,watching T.V until Clover heard a knock on the door.

Clover got up and answered the door and Hopper and Molt looked behind them and smirked at each other. The sponge was now free to bounce on!

Hopper,Tessa, and Molt chuckled as they bounced on the couch and grab the couch pillows and had a pillow fight.

"I'm gonna beat ya!" Hopper said.

"Unh-uh." Molt doubted, "I'm gonna beat ya."

"You're on!" Hopper said playfully as he punched his brother with the pillow.

Tessa hit Hopper with the pillow.

"Hey!" Hopper exclaimed as he hit Tessa back.

"You can't hit girls!" Tessa said.


Clover opened the door and saw her ex-husband's brother who was whimpering.

"Martin?" Clover questioned.

"Hi Clover." Martin greeted.

"So what's up? I haven't seen you in awhile." Clover said, "and now you're here and you're now crying. . ."

Clover glanced at her sons that were jumping on the couch and commenting on each other about how they hit like.

"You hit like a girl!" Molt said to Hopper.

"I heard that." Tessa said.

"Yeah well,you hit like a weak insect,especially you,Tess!" Hopper laughed.

"HOPPER,MOLT,TESSA,STOP JUMPING ON THE COUCH RIGHT NOW!" Clover shouted at her kids.

Hopper,Tessa, and Molt stopped jumping on the couch,put the pillows down,and sat down and continued to watch T.V.

Clover shooked her head and said, "So what's wrong?"

"I-it's Jackson!" Martin choked.

"Yeah,I know he and I are divorced,I'm sure he told you that story." Clover said.

"It's not that! He-he." Martin stuttered.

"He what?" Clover asked.

"He just passed away!" Martin sobbed,loud enough for his two nephews and niece,Hopper,Tessa, and Molt to hear.

Hopper,Tessa, and Molt turned to look at their uncle and they slowly walked over to the doorway.

"What? Did? You? Say?" Hopper,Tessa, and Molt asked slowly at the same time.

"Your father died." Martin said sadly and calmly.

Hopper,Tessa, and Molt looked at each other and they looked back at their uncle again. Molt,now starting to tear up. Hopper,flabbergasted.

"Oh." Hopper,Tessa, and Molt said.

"And not only that,but his new wife,Teresa,and her daughters and son,Tiffany, Daffodil,and Dustin are now grieving over it!" Martin said.

"Wait---hold up." Hopper interrupted. "Did you say that he was married to Teresa and she has two daughters named,Tiffany and Daffodil?"

"Yeah." Martin nodded.

Hopper looked at Molt and Tessa and said, "Well,little brother;looks like we have a stepmom and two stepsisters and a stepbrother."

"Yep." Molt and Tessa said.

Clover sighed, "So when's the funeral?"

"Next Wednesday." Martin answered.

"Okay,thanks for telling us that." Clover said flatly. "We'll see you there."

"Okay,just thought I'd tell you." Martin said,turning to leave, "Bye."

"Bye." Clover,Hopper,Tessa,and Molt said at the same time.

Clover closed the door and walked back to the couch and sat down. She started to cry.

Hopper,Tessa, and Molt just stood there,unbelieving and they sat by their mother who was still sobbing over the loss of her ex-husband.

"Mom,I thought you hated dad." Molt said.

Hopper glared at his brother, "This isn't funny,Molt. Dad just died and it seems like you hate him."

"I don't hate him." Molt replied, "I just hated how he treated us."

"Me too,Molt." Hopper said.

"Kids,just because I don't like your father,it doesn't mean that I wanted to see him go." Clover choked.

"It'll be okay,mom;don't cry." Molt consoled.

Hopper hugged his mother and stroked her arms in comfort. "Shh,it's alright." He said.

Molt,joining in the hug too said, "Yeah,what Hopper said."

"It's going to be okay." Tessa said

"Thanks kids." Clover sniffed,hugging her kidss, "You three are the best kids ever."

"We're your only three best kids in the world." Hopper pointed out.

"I know,but still." Clover said.

Clover released her sons and wiped her eyes.

Hopper,Tessa, and Molt walked back to their room and sat down on Hopper's bed.

"You know,dad might have told us that we weren't good enough,but he didn't deserve to die." Molt said.

"I know,Molt." Hopper nodded. "And as much as I can admit it;I miss dad."

"Me too." Molt said.

"I miss him too." Tessa said.
