A/N: Sorry I haven't updated this! But, here's chapter 13 for you to read!
"Dammit, Junior!" Kris was the first one to wake up when she realized the voice that was coming from downstairs.
Next was Junior, however. A rather disgruntled Junior. He looked at the clock next to him and sighed when he saw it was only 6:45 in the morning. He shot directly up in bed when he realized he recognized the voice yelling up the stairs.
"You better get your ass down here!" Bellowed the woman at the top of her lungs. "And Kris too!" She added just as loud.
Junior and Kris looked at each other. Then Kris hopped up and put some old, dirty jeans and a wrinkled t-shirt on. It took Junior a few seconds to catch up to what was going on, but when he did, he shuffled out of bed and put some sweatpants on. He looked in the mirror at himself and realized there was a look of fear on his face. Fear of being exposed. Especially to his dad.
Their feet thumped down the steps at the same speed, with the same urgency. When Junior and Kris' eyes met with Dani's face, they both froze on the fourth last step to the bottom (A/N: make sense?).
Junior started to walk back up the steps, but Kris grabbed his arm and glared at him. He rolled his eyes and walked back down the steps, Kris following.
Kris was about to say something, but it was as if she weren't there. Dani slapped her brother hard on the face. Junior's had a look of shock on his face and she just stood there, raising her eyebrows. He held his right cheek and Kris noticed the small red patch that he was covering up.
"Well, happy hello to you too, my favorite little sister," Junior said to Dani. "You know, they say when you've missed someone, you should hug them, not give them a bruise the size of Texas on the side of their face. But then again, our family has never been normal, right?" He smirked at her and the glare she shot back made him involuntarily back up a step or two.
"How in the hell could you do that?!" She said oddly calm. "I was worried about you for so long, and when you finally do come back, I have to hear it from a completely different person, not even my own brother! And you! Kris! You could've told me the reason I was watching your son was because my own brother had come back into town!"
"Dani, look. We thought it was best to keep it under wraps for a little bit. Neither of us wanted to stir anything up," Kris said to her.
"Well, you did a hell of a job, then, didn't you?" Dani snapped fiercely.
"Dani! Back off, would you?" Junior said. "I think that you and I need to talk. Let's just leave Kris out of it for now."
"Ju-" Kris started, but his look silenced her.
"Just go upstairs with Tim, okay?" He said, leaning in to kiss her on the cheek.
She did as she was told, only somewhat reluctantly. Kris ushered her son upstairs to her bedroom and shot Junior a look of sympathy and love as he walked into the kitchen with Dani.
A/N: Short chapter, I know. I already have the next one written and I'll post it as soon as I get 5 reviews, promise! I just thought that I should wait for Junior and Dani's conversation/confrontation to happen in a separate chapter. Please review!
