"Are you going to tell me what you two did and why you did it?" Lily asked as she came into the bathroom where Rick was sitting on the floor next to the toilet.
"Not right now please." Rick begged.
"No, I want to know Rick and I want to know now." Lily said angry.
"I'm tired, Lil and I'm sick, can we do this tomorrow please?" Rick said as he leaned up against the wall. "And please turn off the light?"
"Fine, what ever you want. I'm going to bed." Lily said as he slammed the door to the bathroom.
"Don't slam the door…" Rick wined. "It's way too loud."
"Katie, no one should be in here so come on. But you have got to promise me something." Jessie said as she stopped in front of the door.
"What?" Katie asked.
"That you'll tell me what's going as soon as we get in the room." Jessie said.
"Fine, I'll tell you everything, I promise." Katie said smiling.
"I believe you." Jessie said as she opened the door.
"Well that's understandable, Jamie. It's is." Zoe said to Jamie who were both sitting on the bed.
"What are you two doing in here!" Jessie screamed as soon as she saw them.
"What? What are you two doing in here? I know no one gave you permission to have her over." Zoe said.
"I'd say the same for him." Jessie said back to her.
"Does it really matter? You know what you two need to just leave." Zoe said mad.
"I don't think so this isn't your room." Jessie said annoyed.
"It isn't yours either and besides I was here first." Zoe pointed out.
"Like I care, not get out!" Jessie screamed.
"Tiffany?" Jake asked as he came into the apartment.
No one answered him.
"Tiffany?" He asked again.
He walked into their bedroom and saw Tiffany asleep on a chair. He smiled. He took the blanket on the bed, put it over her, and gave her a kiss on her forehead. He headed into see Mady. She was asleep in the crib. She looked so peaceful, that Jake just had to stay and watch her. "I hope that I'm doing the right thing." Jake said to Mady. "I hope your mother says yes and I hope all three of us are happy." Jake said as he sat down in the chair next to Mady's crib.
"Grace, calm down please, what's the worst that they will do to us?" Eli asked as he pulled up in the driveway.
"They could not let me go to the prom, is that you want?" Grace asked mad.
Eli laughed. "Honey, I didn't mean to upset you, it just well they know I'm going to break the rules any way. I told my father that."
"Doesn't that really matter! Are you even listening to me!" Grace screamed.
Eli laughed again. "I'm am and I'm sorry. Let's talk about something else please? How about the prom? When am I going to see this dress of yours?"
Grace started walking to her room. "You're not till the night of the prom."
"What? That's insane." Eli said.
"No it isn't and I mean it, I don't want you under any circumstance to see my dress. Is that understood?" Grace asked Eli as she stopped in front of her door.
"Yes ma." He said smiling as he opened the door.
"I'm not leaving." Zoe said as she put her hands on her hips.
"Yes, you are!" Jessie screamed back at her.
"No, see all four of you are going to leave!" Grace screamed.
All four of them turned and looked at her and Eli shocked.
"So Lily was right." Judy said as she entered Sam's bathroom.
"I asked her not to tell you." Sam said.
"She's my sister and we tell each other just about everything. Here take these." Judy said as she handed him two caplets.
He took them. "Thanks, I think." He said as he got up.
"Why don't you just go to sleep? You look horrible."
"I tried that but I ended up in here." He said as he splashed some water on his face.
"How exactly are you going to work tomorrow if you don't get any sleep?" She asked as she leaned up against the wall.
"I wouldn't see both Rick and I are taking a sick day." Sam said as he headed into the bedroom.
Judy followed him. "Well sick is defiantly something the both of you are."
"I'm not denying that." He said as he lay on the bed.
"Good night, Sam." She said as she started to leave.
"Judy?" Sam asked.
Judy stopped. "What?"
"Can you please turn off the light for me? It's too bright." Sam said.
Judy aggravated turned off the lights and slammed the door behind her.
"What is that noise?" Rick moaned as he got up off the floor. He followed the noise to Grace's room. When he opened the door, he saw all the kids and some more arguing. "Shut up now!" Rick screamed at all of them.
They all stopped.
"Hi dad." Jessie said nervously.
"Don't "hi dad" me. What are you two doing here any way? I know you aren't suppose to be here." Rick said aggravated.
"Are you sure about that, Uncle Rick?" Jamie asked smiling.
"I might have a little hang over but that doesn't mean I'm stupid. And my guess is Jamie that you father has no clue that you are here either. Would you mind calling him?" Rick said.
"A little hang over? Dad, from the way you smell I think it's a big hangover." Eli said smiling.
"Don't start with me. You know what how about you bring home Jamie and Katie and then bring yourself to your mother's." Rick said.
"But…" Eli said as he started to protest.
"Eli, do it! And don't think I don't realize that the both of you were late getting home, I heard the car." He said.
"Come on, Katie, Jamie." Eli said as he started to walk off.
"As for the three of you… First Jessie, Zoe go to bed in the house. We will talk about your uninvited guest tomorrow. Grace, you need to go to bed too. Oh yeah after the prom, if I was the three of you I wouldn't be making any plans." Rick said as he started to leave.
"You know your dad's is very grumpy when he drinks." Zoe said to Jessie.
"Go to bed quietly!" Rick said as he let them walk in front of him.
"Good morning." Karen said as she opened her eyes.
Henry was sitting in the chair next to her bed. He looked at his watch. "You're crazy women, it's not morning. It is still night."
She looked at the clock next to her bed and laughed. "You're right, sorry it's the meds, I swear."
"Yeah sure, blame it on the meds." Henry said smiling and walked over to her. "So how do you feel? Any pain?"
"Stop that! You're not my doctor any more." She protested.
"But you're my girlfriend and I care about you." He said.
"Ok, I feel fine and just a little bit of pain. Nothing to worry about, doctor." She said smiling.
"Ok now you're going to get it." He said smiling.
"Put this on your head ." Lily said as she handed Rick a pack of ice.
"Thanks." Rick moaned as he took the ice and put it on his head.
"What exactly went on in Grace's room any way?" She asked as she sat down on the floor next to him.
"You heard them?" Rick asked shocked.
"Well I did when Zoe and Jessie came back in griping." Lily said.
"Well it seems Jessie and Zoe both had friends over, and Grace and Eli had just gotten in." Rick said.
"I told that girl eleven!" Lily said annoyed.
"You don't care that both Zoe and Jessie sneaked people in here?" Rick asked.
"No I do, its just Grace and Eli knew."
"And the other two didn't?" He asked shocked.
"Oh give it up, the only reason you are so mad about those two are because they were louder and gave you more of a headache." Lily said.
"Doesn't that matter?" He asked.
"Yes, because you refuse to explain the head ache to me." She said annoyed.
"You know what I am feeling tired." He said as he leaned his head up against the wall and closed his eyes.
Lily walked in to the bathroom and came back out with a cup of water. She poured it on him. "You should be wide awake now!" She screamed.
Rick jumped up. "That had ice in it!"
"Do I look like I care?" She asked.
"Ok Lily, I'm going to go sleep on the couch and let you calm down." He said as he grabbed his pillow and headed out the room.
As the door slammed, Lily screamed. "You wuss!"
