Lorraine stared at Megan while she slept. The baby stirred a little bit and then went back to her normal sleeping position. Lorraine, not being able to sleep, got up from her bed and went downstairs. There at the front door stood David, a senior, staring straight at Lorraine in her tank top and baggy fleece pants. Lorraine was shocked at the sight of him and immediately went to the front door.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, cracking open the door a little bit. "Charlie is sleeping like a baby."

"I'm not here for Charlie," David smiled. "I'm here to ask you if you want to go somewhere sometime."

Lorraine took a glance at the clock, "at 1:30am?"

"Well not particularly now but I mean, we can go out on Friday or something," David replied.

"Um yeah," Lorraine felt a breeze and looked at David who stood fully outside, "Maybe you want to come in?"

David nodded and stepped into the heated house. "Wow, great place for 12 brothers and sisters!"

"Actually there are 13 siblings in this house."

"Oh yeah, Megan, how is she?" David asked, slightly interested.

"Actually very good," Lorraine answered, "Me and her are like best friends."

"That's cool. So, Lorraine, Cody told me not to go out with you, but I'm really glad I'm going to get the chance to know you," David walked over to the couch and sat down.

Lorraine added, "Yeah, wait, he told you not to go out with me?"

"Yeah he tells everyone in the locker room, but your brother overheard him talking to me one day and Charlie said that you were okay and I shouldn't listen to Cody."

"Charlie said that?"

"Yep, he's a great brother. I guess that's why you are always trying to keep him out of trouble."

"Well that's me," Lorraine admitted. "I don't want Charlie to end up in jail or working at a McDonald's when he's 40."

"Good thing, because Charlie has so much ahead for him," David agreed.

Lorraine nodded, "So do you want my phone number?"

They exchanged numbers and Lorraine saw David to the door. Just as soon as Lorraine looked away from the door, her mother came down the stairs.

"Hi mom," Lorraine covered from her surprise, "What are you doing up so late?"

"Couldn't sleep," Kate answered. "Good thing it wasn't the baby."

Phew, Lorraine thought, she came just after David left.

That Friday night, Lorraine stared at herself in the mirror in her new outfit. David was picking Lorraine up for pizza, Lorraine was bringing Megan and David was bringing his little brother Tommy. After that, they would go see a kid's movie in the theater and then go home, more of like a get-together for the kids.

David arrived at the door and Kate opened it. David found Lorraine wearing faded jeans and a lime green t-shirt with Megan wearing jeans and a pink t-shirt. Lorraine and Megan's shirts were both the same (sequins running along the middle, lace at the top and thin short sleeves) except for the colors. David wore a blue t-shirt and khaki shorts while Tommy wore a red t-shirt and khaki pants.

Later at the pizza place, Lorraine sat in a booth waiting for the boys to get back from the bathroom. They ended up going to Chuck E. Cheese's and Megan had gone absolutely crazy for the video games. Tommy turned out to be a young gentleman and Megan was a brat, exactly opposite of what Lorraine hoped for. David and Tommy came back to the table and sat down opposite Lorraine.

"Where's Megan?" Tommy asked.

"Megan's playing video games over there, go play with her," Lorraine pointed to Megan.

"Can I, David?" Tommy asked. David nodded and scooted over when he left.

"So," David started, "Megan is adorable!"

"Tommy is so nice, I wish Megan wasn't so…" Lorraine's voice trailed off.

"That's okay," David laughed. "Tommy's always liked those kinds of girls, just like me."

"Are you calling me an absolute brat?" Lorraine stood up, exclaiming.

"No, no," David tried to calm her down, "I meant the spontaneous type."

"Yeah, sure you did. Nice is exactly the opposite of spontaneous," Lorraine said sarcastically. She threw her napkin at him, shook her head, and went to find Megan.

She discovered Megan at a pinball game, in which Lorraine pulled her away from. Megan questioned nothing, and she just went along with it. When Lorraine reached her house by walking barefoot and holding her heels, she found the family playing charades.

"Can I play?" Lorraine asked. The family all agreed to let Lorraine and Megan play.

When it was Megan and Lorraine's turn to go up (Lorraine had to help Megan), they chose the movie and acted it out. The family laughed at Megan's immediately shouting the name of the movie out in a song.

"This is hopeless," Lorraine laughed.

A/N: Okay, so this isn't in Lorraine's POV, but this is Henry's story continued from A Baker's Dozen.

Henry walked into his school one day to see everyone staring at him. "Kiss-y, kiss-y," one boy said. "Ooh, it's Danielle's boyfriend, we better watch out!" "Her jock friends are gun get you buddy!" The threats and laughs kept coming. Henry stared at them like crazy people.

Henry walked into Danielle, and was surprised by a small giggle.

"Hey Hen," Danielle smiled sweetly, "what are we doing after school today?"

"Um, want to go- to the skate park?" Henry made up something.

"Oh Henry, you can always read my mind!" Danielle hugged him. The bell rang and Danielle planted a kiss on his cheek.

After all the halls were clear, Henry let out a yelp and said aloud, "I'm living the life." Then he rushed off to class.
