A/N: Hey! Please R&R thanx.

After Mary droppped off Ruthie, Peter,and the twins she didn't go straight home. She went to Shaun's work knowing he was on his break. He didn't know she was coming. She had plannned to suprise him. She had never been to his work before. She did know the name of the place he worked though,Saint Paul's Hardware. She had looked up the address in the phone book,and it turned out it was by her old work. She had been in there once and it was to get a hammer right after she moved back to Glen Oak. It was after she met Shaun though.

Mary turned on Porter Street and saw the big neon sign that read Saint Paul's Hardware. She parked in the parking lot and walked inside the store.

"Hi, is Shaun Peters here?"Mary asked politely.

"Shaun who?"John the manager of the store(at least that is what his nametag said)returning her question with a question of his own.

"Shaun Peters about 6'2" brown hair blue eyes roughly 190 pounds,"Mary repeated her self.

"Never seen the man in my life,"he replied.

"Ohh,okay I'm sorry I took up your time,"Mary said confused.

"No problem, have a nice night now,"he called as she left the store.

"Alright, you too," she said blankly.



Kevin returned home in the morning to eat, take a shower, and get dressed. While he was there Lucy had only cold stone glares for him. He wasn't so friendly either.

"You really think this whole seperation is my fault don't you?"he asked. Lucy nodded.

"I can't believe you,"he said in response.

"Well maybe if you had more time for me and would try to help me around the house a little bit it wouldn't be so much your fault!" Lucy stormed angrily.

"What do you expect a I'm a cop I can't exactly plan my schedule,"he exclaimed.

"Thats beside the point."

"No it's not Luce the point is you are spoiled,stuck-up,and conceited and expect me to jump at your every command!

"I'm stuck-up,spoiled,and conceited?"she yelled. "Who makes your meals,cleans your house,takes care of your kids when I'm not at school,WHO Kevin,?"she grilled him.

"Who supports your family and supplies all the things you need to do those tasks,ME that's who,"he challenged.

"As of now this conversation is over,"she said picking up his keys and throwing them at him. She missed and they went through the window.

"Great! Now who has to fix those things,ME!"he said storming out of the house. At that moment Lucy turned around to see Jacob by the kitchen doorway. He had probably heard most of the argument.

She walked over to him,picked him up walked back to the couch,curled him up in her lap,and cried for most of the day.

Ceceila woke up and got ready for work. She was nervous because Simon had Tuesdays off and she worried he would be cheating. On the way to work she was determined to get Tuesdays off until her whole relationship was in one piece again. She arrived at work about 8:00. She worked at Collin Construction as a secretary. In the meantime her life as someone answering phones all day and taking messages was all she had until she could get her degree in law. She started school in the fall and was extremely excited.

Anyways, Ceceila arranged an appointment to talk to her boss about switching her wednesdays off for Tuesdays off.

Ruthie sat in her room thinking she was doomed domed forever. She had gotten grounded for a weeek and a half and she couldn't see Peter for two weeks. Talk about torture and on top of that she has to watch Sam and David every day she is grounded,and she doesn't get paid for it. Also even after she is ungrounded she can't go anywhere except Mary's and to select friend's houses meaning houses within a block of the house. Talk about restrictions!!!

All the sudden the phone rang and Ruthie was tempted to pick it up but she didn't because she had a long enough groundation sentence as it was.



Annie Camden answered the phone Tuesday afternoon. It was Peter. The conversation was somewhat like this

Annie: "Hello"

Peter: "Hi Mrs. Camden is Ruthie there?"

Annie: "She is but she can't talk on the phone for another week and a half."

Peter: "A weeek in a half thats a long time I couldn't even stand that and I'm not even a girl."

Annie: "Well she should of thought before she acted bye Peter."

Peter: "Bye.
