When Annie walked in her room, Eric was already asleep. She brushed her
teeth, checked the twins' diapers then went to sleep herself. During the
night Eric had gotten up to use the bathroom then he went downstairs to get
a drink then went back to bed and Annie then consoled Eric and held him in
her arms as he and she slept then Eric had fallen asleep.
The next morning Annie is cooking breakfast as the kids file in to eat.
"What are we doing today?" Annie asks.
"Well, I'm going to Betty's house today, she needs help with history." Mary says.
"I don't know what I'm doing yet but I think I will study." Lucy says.
"I will go to Tina's house today so I will need a ride." Ruthie says.
"Don't worry I'll give you a ride. I will either stick around here or go to Shana's, she has to call me to let me know what she will do today." Matt says as everyone looks at Simon but he doesn't take much notice.
"Simon? What are you doing today?" Annie asks.
"I don't know, nothing I guess. I'm going to go upstairs, I'm not hungry." Simon says as he walks upstairs.
"Where is dad?" Mary asks.
"I'm going to let him sleep in more." Annie says.
"Really?" Lucy says.
"Ya, he had a tough night at the brought up a tape that gave some of the people and your father bad memories which didn't have a dry eye for.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Mary says.
"Well everyone was so angry that they just walked out and went home."
An hour later Mary has gone to a friend's house, Lucy is still home as well as Simon, Ruthie is at Tina's and Matt is at Shana's while Annie is doing the dishes.
"Simon, Simon?" Eric calls to Simon as Simon comes out of his room to Eric's room.
"Yeah dad?"
"I want to talk to you?"
"Okay dad." Simon sits on Eric's bed as Eric sits next to him.
"How did Deena and Janine get here?"
"Janine's friend picked up Deena and brought Janine and her here."
"What were they doing here?"
"I don't know dad, I sensed something was wrong with Janine but Mary, Matt, and Lucy have crummy timing because I think I was going to find out."
"If she had told you what would you do?"
"Dad, Matt already got to me and I don't think it is a big deal."
"What do you mean that Matt got to you? You don't think it is a big deal?"
"Matt told me that if Janine's problem is big that he, Mary and Lucy should either get involved or let you and mom handle it."
"What if it is too big of a problem?"
"Well, I'll let Matt, you or mom handle it."
"Well, let me know what it is, okay?"
"Dad!!"
"What?"
"I want to take care of big problems."
"Son you don't need to do that, if a problem is too much for the young person the adults will talk to that child's parents and tell them to tell their kids to 'butt out'.
"Okay dad, I'll come to you or Matt."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you too dad."
Simon hugged Eric then left the room. Eric checked on the twins who were still asleep then took a shower then got out five minutes later then got dressed. He noticed that Sam was awake so he changed his diaper, put some clothes on him and woke up David to change his diaper then put his clothes on and take them both downstairs to have some breakfast.
"Good morning."
"Hi honey, oh let me take Sam to his little carrier and put David in his."
"Okay."
"So, how are you feeling?"
"Okay I guess but I still feel pretty sad."
"I know."
"Where is everyone?"
"Simon and Lucy are pretty much staying home, Mary and Ruthie are at a friends' and Matt is with Shana."
"I talked to Simon about last night."
"You did?"
"Ya. Simon sensed something was wrong with Deena's freind, Janine and---." The doorbell rings and Eric gets it.
Deena's dad, Jim is let in and he tells Eric that he needs to speak with him and Annie. Annie asks Eric if he can help her to bring the twins up to have Simon and Lucy feed them, Eric tells Jim he will be right back and Jim tells him okay. Eric calls Simon and tells him to go into Lucy's room because he and Annie wants him and Lucy to feed the twins because Deena's dad is downstairs. Lucy and Simon sitting in the beds, Lucy on her's and Simon on Mary's and feeding the twins.
