Disclaimer: I don't own The O.C, Finding Nemo, Red Dawn, or Toy Story.


As everyone sat down to watch Finding Nemo, John wished he had never met Sophie. He had never wanted to be a husband or father.

"I love this movie," Sophie proclaimed happily.

"We know you do, Princess Sophie," Ryan told her. Sophie giggled at her brother.

After the movie was over, everyone except John and his family went back to the hotel.

"I think he's really going to prove himself this time," Sandy informed his wife.

Kirsten froze. "I'm sure he will," she lied.

After Sandy and Sophie fell asleep, Kirsten went into Julie and Bullit's room.

"What's wrong?" Julie asked, whispering so she wouldn't wake up her husband and son.

"Sandy's setting himself up for a fall," Kirsten whispered back.

"He is going to get hurt," Julie agreed.

"And I can't stand Laurel. She and John were made for each other," Kirsten seethed.

Julie laughed. "I think you two will end up in a fight if this continues," she said.

Kirsten laughed too. "I wanted to punch her so hard," she confessed.

Julie smiled. "You could have done some damage if you had."

After talking for about an hour, Kristen went back to her, Sandy, and Sophie's room. She slipped back into bed with her husband and fell asleep.

The Cohens returned to John and Laurel's house at 11:30AM.

"It's nice to see you," Kirsten lied to Laurel, giving her a fake smile.

"It's nice to see you too," Laurel replied, secretly wishing everyone was gone from her house.

"How are you?" Sandy asked his father.

"Okay today," John told him.

"That's good," Sandy said.

"I hope you die tomorrow," The Nana spat at her ex-husband when Sandy left the room.

Kirsten and Julie tried to hold back giggles, but their attempts failed.

"I hope you never marry again," John spat back.

"I hope your wife cheats on you," The Nana shot back.

"Sophie, why don't we go into another room?" Kirsten asked, trying to diffuse the tense situation. The Nana nodded and followed her daughter-in-law.

"You don't deserve them," Julie icily informed John.

"I never wanted a family in the first place," John whispered.

"Then why'd you go out and get a new one?" a slightly confused Julie asked coldly.

John shrugged. "I loathe Sophie, and wanted to prove I could do better than her."

"You sicken me," Julie whispered.

"I don't care what you think," John replied.

Lunch was uneventful, unlike dinner.

"Something's going to happen at dinner. I can feel it," Taylor told Summer.

"I can feel it too," a surprised Summer commented.

The Cohens sat down to watch Red Dawn while the younger kids and Julie went upstairs to watch Toy Story.

After both movies were over, everyone sat down for dinner.

"Dinner is great," Sandy informed his stepmother.

"Thank you," Laurel replied.

"Mommy, can I swim later?" Sophie asked.

"Of course you can," Kirsten told her.

"You shouldn't spoil her," John warned.

"We're not," Kirsten said angrily.

"How old were you when you had Sophie?" Laurel asked.

"Forty," said Kirsten.

"That was much too old to have a baby," Laurel proclaimed.

"Well, John is much too old for you," Kirsten shot back, rather coldly.

"Don't talk to my wife like that," warned John.

"Don't talk to mine like that," Sandy said.

"Your wife actually started this whole thing," Kirsten informed John.

"I know I should have gotten rid of you when I had the chance," John muttered under his breath.

"What'd you say?" Ryan demanded. John smiled, but it wasn't a happy smile.

"I said I should have gotten rid of Sanford when I had the chance," John repeated.

"What do you mean?" The Nana asked.

"Diane and Eric were sick, and Sanford and Antoinette were crying," John said.

"What are you saying?" a frantic Diane asked.

John smiled again. "Antoinette didn't die from SIDS. Sanford and Antoinette were crying. Eric and Diane were sick."

"We heard that part. Go back," Seth said.

"I couldn't take Antoinette crying anymore, so I suffocated her," John confessed.
