"Mary, have you done your homework?" Annie asked as she was cooking dinner.
"Yes! Just stay out of my life!" Mary exclaims as she goes to her room.
"Ruthie, what are you doing? Please help me with setting the table."
"Nothing. No! You do it yourself." Ruthie says as she leaves the kitchen.
"Get your sisters, dinner is ready." Annie tells Simon.
"Fine! MARY! LUCY! RUTHIE!! Dinner's ready! Get over here!!" Simon yells then his sisters come to the table.
"Thank you Simon. I'm sure the Governor heard you."
"Yeah Simon." Ruthie responded as the kids ate while Annie got the twins, put them in a high chair then fed them before she ate.
"Would you kids please help me with the dishes?" Annie asked.
"Do it yourself!" Lucy responds as Mary and Simon went to their rooms.
"I cannot get a break. Well boys you will have to watch me eat then do the dishes."
Few hours later Annie has finished dinner, doing the dishes and has put the twins down for the night then she told the kids she was going to bed which she did. The next morning-
"Mary, can you please take and pick up Ruthie, Simon and Lucy please." Annie asked as she was leaving for work.
"Yeah, whatever."
"Thanks." Annie says as she leaves.
"I'm not going to pick them up though, they will have to walk home." Mary says as she stays home since she graduated from school.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Mary asks after she took the twins to day care then went to see her friends who were dealing drugs.
"What's up? Took you so long?" The guy who had the drugs asked.
"I had to take my stupid brothers to day care and it wasn't open." Mary said irrtadelty.
"Ah."
"Anyway, hook me up." Mary said as she took the drugs.
"Hey Kelly. Are we meeting after school?" Lucy asked her gang member friend when they were in the cafeteria.
"You bet, we'll shoot some dude down for messin' with us."
"Meet you after school." Lucy says as she waves to them bye when going to class in John F. Kennedy High.
"Hey, I want to take a smoke of that joint after school, I got money." Simon says to a guy who deals pot to kids.
"Okay."
"Hey, this is great isn't it?" Ruthie asked when she was smoking with her friends just off school grounds during lunch.
"Sure is." Jenna said as they finished their smoke then went to class at Walter Reed Jr. school.
Mary later picked up the twins and Ruthie then later left. Ruthie's friends came over to smoke then before Annie got home they left as Ruthie was playing with them. A month after the divorce was finalized, the problems at home with her kids and Annie were going through got worse as the days and months went on. Annie sought relief when she was at work but dreaded going home and knowing she has to since they are her responsibility even though she was tired all the time.
********Still in Eric's subconscious - Eric's thoughts********
"Hey I still want to marry you darlin'." Eric says with two wine glasses in his hands, he gives one to Desiree.
"Let's do it in three months since you have a new car, gave the van to your ex and I have a car as well."
"Okay." Eric says as they both kiss then watch TV in her apartment.
"Hey, since I'm off tonight, let's go to bed early and get naked."
"Yeah!" Eric says then he ends up lying on the couch since Desiree slid him down while kissing him as he did the same.
A few minutes later they both get into bed naked, kissing each other on the necks then just talking about what they want to do for the future and an hour later they fell asleep together in her room. While Annie was having problems with the kids, Eric and Desiree's love for each other grew as they never parted and stayed in Riverside and he did work at a radio station as Desiree did but different companies and they would talk about work and one day Eric went to the store to get some medicine as he saw Annie then followed her to her home, parked across the street from her house as he saw her walk in. He then walked up to the house, peered through the windows and saw the house half empty, Annie and Mary arguing, had his back turned towards the window then saw Lucy and some friends talking about life as she was dressed like she was in a gang. Eric took a drive, saw Simon smoking pot walking with his friends three blocks down then later saw Ruthie walking with friends smoking cigarettes.
"Oh my god." Eric says shocked as he sees his kids really messed up then he drives on home.
"Mary?" Eric asks as he sees her taking crack cocaine.
"What, got a problem?"
"Yes. I'm sorry for what I did, I was wrong in leaving your mother, please forgive me." Eric asks worried as he was in the alleyway where Mary was taking the crack when he followed her.
"No I don't forgive you."
"Hey, what are you doing?" Lucy asks days later when Eric had pulled her aside near a shop.
"I'm sorry for what I did, I was wrong in leaving your mother, please forgive me."
"No. I don't forgive you and don't need you!" Lucy said as her friends had surrounded them both.
"What? You can't tell me what to do!" Simon yells two days later at a market while smoking pot with his friends.
"I'm sorry for what I did, I was wrong in leaving your mother, please forgive me."
"Hell no!"
"Hi, what do you want?" Annie said as she let her ex in the house since noone was home, the twins were staying with the Hastings.
"Annie, look---.
What does Eric want now? How will Annie react when she sees him crying?
What will Annie do concerning Sam and David? Will she lose her kids for sure? Will Eric stay married to Desiree?
"Yes! Just stay out of my life!" Mary exclaims as she goes to her room.
"Ruthie, what are you doing? Please help me with setting the table."
"Nothing. No! You do it yourself." Ruthie says as she leaves the kitchen.
"Get your sisters, dinner is ready." Annie tells Simon.
