Please enjoy and R&R and thank you :)

"Mommy" they heard someone yell from upstairs "oh boy, I wonder what happened now" Sam said looking at the stairs. "I don't know, but will found out in 5 4 3 2" Freddie said and at that moment they all looked as a rumbling could be heard from above. Lily came bolting down the stairs followed by her brother Tommy with Parker right behind them and Hope dragging behind.

"Mommy…….mommy Parker took my doll away and stuck it in the toilet" she yelled crying running to Darrel "yeah Daddy he tore up my picture I was drawing" Tommy said running to his dad. "NO I didn't" Parker yelled at his parents. "YES YOU DID" Lily yelled back as she cried "ok Lily it's ok" Darrel said hugging her, Tommy was crying as well "oh now come here son" Tyler said lifting him onto his lap. Freddie and Sam looked at Parker and he just looked away, Freddie stood up "Parker…….did you take her doll and tear up his picture?" he didn't reply "Parker answer your father" Sam said standing up beside him. "Yes" he said with guilt "but I only did it because she was bothering me while I was reading" he yelled back at his mother. "Parker don't you give me that tone" she replied "BUT MOM!" "Parker don't yell at your mother, now go up to your room and we will be up in a minute to talk to you" "BUT DAD" he whined "I said go" Freddie said pointing to the stairs. Parker growled under his breath and took off up the stairs, Freddie and Sam looked at Tommy and Lily who had red eyes from crying.

"Hey Tommy, I'm sorry Parker tore up your picture" Freddie said "and Lily I'm sorry he put your doll in the toilet" Sam said. Tommy and Lily looked at each other and smiled "its ok Uncle Freddie and Aunt Sam" Tommy said "yeah its ok" Lily added. They both hugged them both "ok Lily why don't we go upstairs and get you doll out of the toilet" Darrel said taking her hand Lily nodded and they headed up. "Come on Tommy, I'll help you draw another picture" "YAY" Tommy cheered as Tyler lifted him up and carried him upstairs.

This whole time Hope had been hiding behind her mom and dad in the couch "ok Hope why don't we leave your aunt and uncle alone and go get a snack" Carly said. Hope just nodded her head and held her arms out signaling for Griffin to pick her up "up daddy up" she said. "OK sweetie" he bent down and lifted her into the air "wee" she said. Him and Carly headed into the kitchen leaving Sam and Freddie alone "Freddie what are we going to with him" Sam said, Freddie took her hand and rubbed her knuckles "well first we are going to go talk to him………….then will see what we can do" he said smiling. She smiled and he kissed her "come on" they headed upstairs and down the hall to Parkers room. They past Tommy and Lily's room where Tyler and Tommy were drawing his picture and passed the bathroom where Darrel was washing and drying Lily's doll's hair.

They got to end of the hall where Parker's room was, the door was closed, and they knocked "Parker………Parker can we come in?" Freddie said "Go Away" Parker yelled from the other side. Sam looked at Freddie and shook her head, Freddie nodded and opened the door, Parker was sitting on his bed with his back turned the door "Parker………can we talk? Sam asked. "No….go away" he said, they could tell he had been crying from his voice, they both sat down on the bed "hey Parker….turn around here…….lets talk" Freddie said. Parker didn't budge, Sam tried to talk to him "honey…you need to talk to us…………why did you mess with Lily and Tommy's stuff" she put her hand on his shoulder and he turned and looked back at them. He turned around on the bed and faced them "Tommy and Lily were bothering me" he said with his head down "I was trying to read and Lily kept putting her doll in my face and Tommy shoved his drawing in my face" he said. "Well son they only wanted to play with you" Freddie said putting his arm around him "yeah, but I was trying to read" "read…..read what?" Sam asked smiling. Parker rubbed his neck "well………I was trying…..to read this" he went over to his desk and picked up a magazine and handed it to Freddie. Freddie laughed "Parker you were trying to read this?" Parker nodded "what is it?" Sam said scooting over next to Freddie.

The magazine was an electronic magazine; Parker had bent down corners of pages that had video cameras on them. Sam and Freddie looked at each other and smiled "Parker sweetie come here" Sam said extending her arms, Parker slowly walked over and Sam lifted him up onto her lap. "Look son I'm glad you were trying to read, but you will learn how to read when you start first grade in August" "ok Dad" "hey Parker we want you both to know we're very proud for trying to read" Sam said. "Thanks mom, dad" he hugged them both "but……..you still have to apologize to the twins" Freddie said pulling away "yeah and you have to be punished" "but mom" he whined, but Sam gave him a stern look "yes mam" he replied. "Ok Parker no video games for a week" Freddie said getting up from the bed "aw dad" Freddie gave him the same look which he had picked up from Sam "yes sir" he replied sadly. "Ok……now come on you're going to go apologize to the twins" Sam said, Parker took his mom and dad's hands and they all headed down the hall.

Tyler, Darrel and the twins were in the twin's room talking when they appeared in the doorway "oh hey guys" Darrel said "Tommy, Lily……….Parker has something he wants to say" Freddie said. Parker looked up at his parents and they gave him loving smiles and Freddie gave him a gentle push forward. "I………..I…..I wanted I was sorry" he said with his head down. Tommy and Lily smiled at Tyler and Darrel and ran and hugged Parker. "It's ok…….look you didn't ruin my doll….you just gave her a bath" Lily said laughing "and I drew another picture so it's ok" Tommy added. They all three laughed as Sam, Freddie, Tyler, and Darrel watched from the doorway.

The next few weeks went by smoothly, it was now August 10th and the Parker would be starting first grade and the twins would be starting kinder garden. Today was going to be a challenge for them all, it was the one they dreaded when they were kids and now their kids were having to do it……….back to school shopping.

Ok so there's the first chapter we see the kids, lovable aren't they, don't worry Hope will be in other chapters, the next one is school shopping, tell me what you would buy a kid going to first grade and kinder garden………..your help is greatly appreciated and I know its kind of short, but I'm writing them all older, but I'll get used to it. Well please R&R and thank you :)
