Ok everyone here is chapter 14 of 'Our Own Family' and please do read and review :)
So the next month passed for everyone, the thought about their financial issue remained on their mind, but there were others things to worry about besides that. Tyler was taking time off to help Darrel with the twins while Sam took care of Parker and Carly rested and stayed of her feet. Freddie, Nathan, and Griffin all continued working at the computer store, but Freddie had talked to their boss about possibly getting raises in their paychecks. Their boss knew what all they had to deal with at home and was generous and bumped their salary up to where they get paid $8.50 instead of $5.50 it wasn't much but it was good enough. Something else the guys had all been thinking about was trying to move into a bigger house but they didn't know how they were going to afford it. Freddie had kept track of the account on the bank website and well it didn't contain enough to get a house that would be big enough for all of them. "Well guys I know that we all want to surprise the girls with a new house, but……………..I don't know how we could do it" Freddie said, everyone was on their lunch break. "Well……….hey what about Spencer………can he do anything?" Tyler asked "I don't know" he replied. "Well aren't he and Carly's father in the Navy……..maybe he could help" Griffin said, Freddie looked at him and everyone else. "I don't know…………I mean………he maybe could help…..but I don't know?" Freddie said looking at his half eaten sandwich. "Well how about we give him a call" Tyler said "Ok" Freddie replied. After he finished his lunch Freddie called Spencer. "Hey Spencer………yeah its Freddie…………..it's been good……listen me and the guys were wanting to know………….well……we were wanting to buy a bigger house for the girls………………..yeah I know……………yeah we know we can't afford it…………….but that's where we come to you……………well we were wondering…………….if you could talk to your dad…..you know the Navy man…………..yeah we were wanting to know whether he could help us get a house…………..yeah we know, but could you try……………….thanks, thank you Spencer so much……ok bye" he ended the call, and went and told the others. "Well what did he say?" Nathan asked "Well he said he would talk to his dad………….and see maybe what he could do" Freddie replied. The uncertainties in his voice made the others worry, but also gave them some hope. "Well…………..hopefully Mr. Shay can help" Tyler said rubbing his forehead "yeah I hope so…………….I can't imagine not being able to support Sam or my son" Freddie said putting his face in his hands.
The lunch break ended ant they got back to work, when they got home at the end of the day the girls were there taking care of the Parker and the twins. "So guys how was work" Sam asked playing with Parker "well it was just a regular day" Tyler said looking at the others "yeah just busy as usual" Freddie said. The girls looked at each other and smirked they could tell that their boyfriends were lying and they knew how to get the truth out. Sam put Parker in his playpen and Darrel put Tommy and Lily in the carriers on the floor. Sam and Darrel walked over to Freddie and Tyler "well Freddie, are you telling me the truth" Sam asked looking in his eyes, Darrel did the same. They had both figured out that when they looked them both in the eye they couldn't lie to them. "Sam…I….I……I can't say" he says looking down at the floor, she take s his face and pulls him up to meet her gaze, she looks over and sees Darrel already planting a kiss on Tyler. "Alright Freddie…..maybe this will get you to tell me the truth" she kissed him with a passion, when they both released their lips Freddie and Tyler were lost in a daze. "Now Freddie, what were you guys talking about" she asked "we called Spencer to see if he could help us" he said "yeah help us getting a bigger house" Tyler added. Griffin and Nathan smacked their foreheads knowing the secret surprise had been blown. Carly got up form the couch and looked at them all "you called Spencer…………..and tried to get us a bigger house……..why?" she asked, by now Tyler and Freddie were out of their love struck gaze. They looked at her and sighed "we called him to see if your dad could some how get us a bigger house" Freddie said "yeah……………..because with all the kids…………this house isn't big enough to hold us all" Tyler added. Carly looked at Sam and Darrel "well……..I guess you guys wanted this to be a surprise" Sam said crossing her arms. All of them hung their heads in shame and Darrel noticed a tear roll down Tyler's face. "Oh Tyler………what's wrong?" she asked putting her hand to his face and wiping away the tear "well………….I….ugh…..we……….were all scared that we couldn't provide……..for our children" he said looking at her. He broke down and cried as she hugged him in her arms, Sam walked up to Freddie and hugged him and Carly did the same with Griffin. "I'm sorry Sam" Freddie said sadly "for what?" she replied "for failing to take care of you and Parker" he replied. "Oh Freddie" she said softly, Carly and Griffin and Darrel and Tyler remained in their embraces with each other as Nathan watched from over at the playpen. "Well Parker, its looks like your parents are worried" he whispered to him watching the others.
