Thank you for all the reviews, it really does make my day to get them! This chapter isn't one of my favourites but again its one of those that's needed for the story!
I've noticed a few of you guys have recess fics, and I plan to read them (more son the romance ones, as I'm a total sap!), but it'll have to be once this is complete. I don't know what it is, but as soon as a read someone else's story I love it, and usually lose all my original ideas for my own fic! I've got this one all planned so don't want to lose that plan!
I used to write under the name 'big cliffy meanie' but couldn't remember my log in details! So here I am, with this new account!

Chapter 14: Meet the parents

TJ and Spinelli lay in each other's arms, sleeping. After Spinelli had got off the phone she'd spent several hours discussing her worries and confusion with TJ, and he did his best to comfort her. They were woken by a knock on the door.
"Come in" said TJ sleepily as she slid away from Spinelli a little, the door opened, and Spinelli's parents entered the room.
"Pookie! Oh thank god you're ok!" cried Mrs Spinelli a little hysterically, running across the room and dragging her daughter into a suffocating hug "Come on sweetie, we've got a lot to talk about"
"Ok, I'll be down in a bit" yawned Spinelli.
"In a bit? A bit?" repeated Mrs Spinelli, who was still rather hysterical.
"Yes. I need to at least brush my teeth, and I need the toilet. I don't need your supervision for that" said Spinelli flatly, she felt a tired and grumpy. Spinelli was also confused, knowing full well her parents have been hiding something from her, she glanced over at her father "That's ok? Right Dad?"
"Yes, but be quick" replied Mr Spinelli, placing his arm around his wife, pulling her from the room and closing the door behind them.
Spinelli was just about to get up, when TJ held her arm; she turned around to look at him. TJ smiled, and kissed her briefly.
"Morning beautiful"
Spinelli smiled, kissing him in return, before getting up to so she could get ready. Spinelli began to worry about Joey again, was he ok? She had known there was something wrong! And what about her parents? What had they been hiding from her? And was all of this connected to what ever happened at her house? Spinelli emerged from the bathroom several minutes later feeling a little ill, both with worry, and with the little sleep she'd had.
"I'll see you later yeah?" she said, kissing TJ goodbye.
"Keep me posted ok?"
Spinelli entered her house for the first time since 'the disturbance' and was shocked at the extent of the damage. It was completely trashed, the sofas were overturned, and cushions all over the floor, there was broken glass and china everywhere, their family photos destroyed, everything had been completely overturned.
Spinelli sat, and listening to her parents long explanation in horror.
"...We're working on gaining more information, and we're very close. So far, all we know is that Joey's mission seems to have been some sort of set up. Unfortunately Pookie we can't tell you any more as this is all top secret. We've already told you too much."
"So let me get this straight. You're telling me that the two of you, Vito and Joey are all secret agents?"
"Yes sweetie"
"But that's crazy! You can't be! You guy's work for an insurance business, Vito works for the bank, and Joey –well he just parties all the time! I've seen the photos Mum!" replied Spinelli, as she tried to get her head around the extent of the lies.
"I'm so sorry we had to lie to you" said Mr Spinelli "We did it for your protection. Joey has been kidnapped and being held hostage for a week so far, we're working on finding him and getting him out."
"And you thought it best not to tell me that Joey's life was in danger?"
"We're sorry Pookie, we didn't want to worry you; we just wanted to keep you safe. You can't imagine how relieved I was when I heard you weren't home when the house was searched. We wouldn't have forgiven ourselves if anything happened to you too" Mrs Spinelli tried to cuddle her daughter, but Spinelli pulled away "Pookie, please don't be upset!"
"Are you serious?" screamed Spinelli, jumping to her feet "I find out that you've all been lying to me, probably for my entire life, and you ask me not to be upset? My home, has been searched and trashed, you left me alone when clearly I'm not even safe in my own home, and you ask me not to be upset? And it's because of the two of you, that Joey and Vito became secret agents, right? Now Joey has been kidnapped, his life is in danger, AND YOU ASK ME NOT TO BE UPSET?"

Ok, so not as great as my last couple of chapters, but as i've said, its needed for the story, the main purpose of this is for Spinelli to find out the truth about her parents (as obviously, it the patents night episode, we found out they were secret agents, but no one actually knows, because we never see Vito and Joey in the episodes, I decided they should be secret agents too!) and of course, for you readers to know what's going on, although I'm sure you all suspected this?
Sonnii: I know, its so sweet! But sad they can't truley enjoy the happiness of their newfound love, not with Joey! I hope you liked this chapter, I obviously wanted to explain what was going on!
RecessFantastic2011: Thank you! I loved finally m,aing them a couple. I'm the same, fics where they're not a couple just isn't right, to be honest if I read a fic, i have to know its going to contain TJxSpinelli, im sad, and a die-hard shipper! I've not been watching properly in ages either, i think its gone downhill a bit. Wow, not a slater fan? Lol I love them (we'll have to agree-to-disagree) Jean cracks me up, however, I can't stick the 'new Lauren' I just want to smack her! What do you think? I;ll defiantly read your fic when Im done, it sounds brill, I just k now myself too well, I have a plan for my chapters, and i'm a bit of a perfectionist with them (my friends take the mick out of me, telling me i'm like monica from friends!) Thanks for slapping Vince and Gretchen, but maybe we can forgive poor Gretch now she has the flu? And thanks, this funeral was hearbreaking, I don't normally show my emotion in public...
Pandacat1bagillion: Thats cool I googled it, and it looks lush! I've not had a vacation in years, so writing this fic is pretty much my vacation from real life! I;m glad you liked the chapter! And I hope you liked this one!
Chickflick737: lol, I don't think I could do a decent job on a chapter of them going all the way, I did write a one-shot a few years back (obviously unrelated to this story) where TJ and Spinelli went all the way, (its called One Magical Night) but I cringe when I read it back, the spelling and grammar are awful, and I don't think I did the best of jobs!
The-Time-Controller: cool! Yup! They FINALLY confessed! And yeah, at least we know whats up with Joey, keep reading to find out if he's ok! I'm not 100% sure if TJ is going to find out about Mikey's feelings yet.
Chantaya: I loved finally getting them together! I hope this chapter answered a lot of your questions!
Scorpiogirl576: I figured you'd just got bored of it or something! I'm glad you're still reading it and enjoying it! And your right about too many complaints being bad, my expanding head has been making it difficult for me to get through the doors, and my neck is really aching! Lol! Only kidding, I do like getting them though, it tends to make me realise I have to maintain what i've already written, so I work extra hard!
Audrey_Salvatore_Northman: Thanks, I hope you've recovered from your near sugar coma, now is the time that i'll mention that I have a real sweet tooth! I'm glad you liked them defining their relationship, i wanted to make it as cute as possible (and where there's cute, there's fluff!) I didn't think i'd really managed to fool anyone with making it look like the Joey story line was over! I hope you liked this chapter!
Misty: I hope the move back to school is going ok! I tried to make this as cheesy/fluffy/cute as possible, I can't imagine it happening any other way! Yup, bit of a dramatic ending, and real mood-killer, poor TJ and Spinelli! Lol and being right is great, I knew a couple people would know that something was going on with Joey! I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Apologies for any bad gramar or spelling, I'm dyslexic, so although I've done my best to proof read, I may have missed something!
Please read and review! Constructive criticism welcome!
