Yesterday, Bruno had called his dad and asked him to meet him at the Dot. Bruno wanted to talk to him and make sure he could trust him around his children.
Bruno was sitting at a table waiting for his father to arrive. When the bell rang his head shot up and he looked at the door, seeing it was his dad. Mr. Frank looked around before he found Bruno and went to join him.
"I thought you were going to bring everyone." Mr. Frank smiled.
"I wanted to get to know you first. Then we'll see if I want you to meet my family."
"Well, I'm an open book. Ask me anything you'd like."
"I guess I want to know how you're doing. Do you guys have jobs?"
"I'm working at a grocery store and your mom is a checkout lady at Wal-Mart." Mr. Frank sighed.
"Do, you have a place to stay?"
"Yeah, we're living in an okay motel. We just need a little time to get back on our feet. Don't worry."
"Well, I guess the last thing to ask is; when do you want to see the kids?"
"Whenever and where ever you want us to."
"Well, why don't you just come by the park after work and I'll let you see them."
"Thank you."
Bruno nodded before getting up and walking away to school.

Fits opened and closed his jeep's door and made his way over to the other side. Before he could open Terri's door for her, she did it herself and smirked at him. Fits stared at her oddly.
"What? Don't think I can open a car door?" Terri grabbed his neck and pulled his face down to hers. She kissed him lightly before moving past him to Degrassi.
"I just thought you'd want me to be polite." Fits shrugged, following Terri to the front stairs.
"I want you to be you, and you're not polite." Terri said in a matter-of- fact tone, scoffing at the end.
"So, you think I can't please a girl, can't be nice, can't cook, and can't be polite? Did I miss anything?" Fits smirked.
"I never said you couldn't please a girl, cook, or be nice. I thought you couldn't. Thought." Terri stated.
"Well, I think you should wait till you jump to conclusions. Maybe get to know me first before you seduce me." Fits elbowed Terri, as she opened her locker.
"Yeah, right." Terri elbowed Fits back. "But, if you want to get to know each other, why don't you come to this little party on Friday? Bunch of wolves are coming down to that old junkyard."
"You want me to go hang out with Werewolves?"
"Do you have a problem with us?"
"Maybe, I do." Fits teased.
"Really, because you didn't have a problem with me last night."
"Maybe, I just felt bad because of how desperate you were."
Terri scoffed and walked away, laughing.
"Why is that funny?" Fits called.

School had ended and Craig was heading home. He skipped English so he wouldn't have to see his mom and Sam had left early on her own because she was upset with him. Craig thought she was over reacting. He talked to her, but apparently didn't give her a chance. Sam didn't even give her a sexy dance night like she had promised.
Craig closed his door and walked normally to the front door, but stopped and looked at the unfamiliar car parked on the street. Craig studied it carefully before figuring it didn't matter and walked to the door.
"Sam!" Craig called out.
"In the kitchen!" Sam answered back.
"Listen I know you're pissed about how-"Craig walked into the kitchen stopped talking when he saw who was with her. "What is she doing here?" Craig whispered in Sam's direction.
"I wanted you to give her a chance to tell her side of the story, and for you to listen." Sam walked closer.
"Why can't you leave this alone?" Craig rubbed his eyes.
"Because you'll have to see her every day for at least two more years. You should have some peace with each other."
"Sam," Craig whined.
"Talk." Sam pushed Craig over to his mom.
They both looked at each other for a second, but Craig turned away and avoided eye contact. Sam saw they weren't going to talk and gave Craig another push towards Ms. Berkins.
"Um, Craig, I don't know what to say. My only explanation is that, at the time, I didn't see anything wrong with you. I wish I had noticed. I'm sorry." Craig didn't show any emotion.
You could see tears in his eyes, and the only thing that seemed right for Ms. Berkins to do was wrap her arms around him, and squeeze. Craig slowly hugged her back.
"I'll see you in school." Craig said as he pulled away.
"I hope so." Ms. Berkins kissed Craig forehead and walked past him, out the door.
Sam watched her leave before turning back to Craig. He was leaning against the counter, taking deep breaths and wiping unshed tears.
"Hey, sorry I made you talk to her. I didn't know it would make you cry." Sam hugged Craig and he wrapped his arm around her.
"It's okay; I just couldn't help remembering all I saw in that horrible place." Craig walked away into his room.

Fiona paced around her room, trying to calm herself. She didn't know how this dinner would go. Last time, even though she didn't talk to her last time, Fiona made a fool out of herself. She thought Mrs. Torres was being unreasonable, but she needed her approval and for Adam to connect with her.
Fiona snapped out of her trance when someone knocked on the door. She walked to the door, trying to even out her breath before she answered it. As she thought, it was Adam, he smiled but looked annoyed.
"You look happy." Fiona teased.
"Yeah, I'm not the most excited, but if you want me to get along with my mom, then I'll do it." Adam smirked.
"Well, what are you doing here?" Fiona smiled. "I thought you'd be getting the house ready for your family."
"I had time and thought I'd come pick you up, see if you're okay. You look nervous."
"I just, really want your mom to like me, but every time we've met I've done something totally stupid."
"Listen, you are the most beautiful, kind, and amazing girl I've ever met. Even if my mom thinks you're a slut because you dressed up in a short dress or an idiot because of what happened last night it doesn't matter. You are everything to me and I feel so lucky just knowing you're mine."
"Thank you." Fiona wiped a tear from her eye. "Darn, now my make-up is probably smeared." Fiona laughed nervously.
"No, you look perfect." Adam kissed Fiona's lips, softly.
"We better get going." Fiona whispered.
Adam smirked and wrapped his arms around Fiona, walking her out the door to his car.

Bruno was pushing Sara and Carter on the swings while Amber grabbed at their feet, making them laugh.
"Daddy, pusher harder!" Carter laughed.
"Alright!" Bruno gave her an under-duck.
"Don't let him fall!
Bruno looked over in the direction of the voice and gave a weak smile. He walked over to his father and mother, who smiled.
"So, can I have a turn at the pushing?" Mr. Frank asked and walked over to the kids.
"So, mom, how you been?" Bruno asked his mom.
"I've been good. Couldn't wait to see you." Mrs. Frank hugged Bruno.
"Yeah, so if you want to meet the kids you can go over and talk to them, I told them all about you guys, in less graphic detail."
"I'm sorry, baby."
"It's fine, go see the kids."
"Thank you."
Bruno watched his mom walk towards the kids and his father walking right towards him. Bruno gave another weak smile and his dad returned it with a genuine smile.
"So, Bruno, I wanted to ask you a question."
"Sure thing."
"So, you got married?"
"Well, not really. We're planning on it."
"Good, I'm glad I didn't miss my boys wedding."
"I'm glad you didn't." Bruno smiled and real smile.

There was an awkward silence in the dining room. Everyone was eating slowly and looking around at the other people.
"Okay, I'm just going to say it. Mrs. Torres, I think you and Adam should settle your differences." Fiona stated, confidentially.
"Well, I don't think you should be interfering in our families business." Mrs. Torres sneered.
"You aren't exactly a family." Fiona retorted.
"Because you've ruined my son!"
"I'm not your son! You're not much of a mom!" Adam shouted.
"I'm not going to be talked to like this!" Mrs. Torres shot up and began to leave.
"Wait!" Fiona got up and stopped her, taking her into the kitchen.
"What do you want?"
"Listen I know I haven't made the best impressions but can we put that aside and focus on you and Adam's relationship? You may hate me, but you shouldn't hate him. I know you want to get to know him and you should. He's great."
"Well, maybe I've been a little unfair in how I judged you. You don't seem so bad and maybe we could one day tolerate each other."
"I would like that, and I'm sure Adam would to."

The week ended with a few more family moments and not many problems. Everyone was having a great time at the wolf party. Eli's parents seem to get along with the wolves and be the life of the party. Drew got along with the girl wolves, but they're easy.
Fiona still wasn't comfortable with the Pack's members so Adam and her were just up, high in the pile of cars talking.
"I'm so glad you all got to be friends with your family, especially your mom and you."
"Well, that's all thanks to you." Adam kissed Fiona's head.
"So, you owe me?"
"I guess, what do you want?"
"Do you think I could become a Werewolf?"
And it's done, a whole new story is going to be published before the sequel to this story, so keep up with my stories!
