Chapter 2 Cohen's gang
Seth Cohen a loving husband, father and son was sitting in the kitchen of his family home which his parents left to him when they moved to Florida. He took over from his mother when she and his father decided to move across the country to Florida. Since taking over he changed a lot of the things that his mother and grand father had built saving natural cost lines from development for one. Hannah Cohen a bubbly energetic 5 year old came bouncing into the kitchen on her big brothers back, she loved piggybacks and got them when ever she could. Furthermore Harlin her brother loved giving them to her.
" hey Daddy guess what Joel did today he put a rock up his nose it took Mrs Ward half an hour to get it out. It was gross then he had to sit in the naughty corner." Hannah said with pride. Joel Cohen an exact replica of his father came walking in the door his bag dragging across the ground. " Joel did you really stick a rock up your nose?" Seth asked his son bending down to his level " yes" said Joel a tear ran down his cheek, " why buddy you know that's a yucky thing to do" " cause Marina told me to" he sobbed " who's Marina?" Seth asked his youngest son " his girlfriend daddy" Hannah replied " shut up" yelled Joel at his sister "no" she yelled back. Seth looked at his two youngest children although they were twins and got along really well at times they were unbelievably different. " Hannah sweet heart stop teasing your brother" Seth said in the nicest possible way. " but I wasn't teasing him daddy I was just telling you who she was". " its true dad she was only telling you" said Harlin. " you always take her side Harlin its not fair we boys should stick together" Joel cried. " have either of you taken you afternoon naps" asked Seth. His daughter wrinkled her nose and shock her head " naps are for babies daddy" she said. " well if naps are for babies so are piggyback no more for you Hannah Jane Cohen" replied Seth knowing his daughter would sulk for a while then decide to take a nap.
Summer Cohen walked into the house followed by her eldest daughter, Summer had found her in the student lounge. Stirring a cup of coffee. On the trip home she found out what had happen Annie tried to tell her mum not to enlighten her father, Summer said she would only tell him in brief what happened. As they walked through the front door they walked into a mad house Joel and Hannah arguing, Seth trying to came them down and Harlin on the phone to his friend yelling over the top of them.
"OK EVERY ONE FAMILY MEETING HARLIN OFF THE PHONE" yelled Summer catching Joel but the neck of the shirt as he ran past.
When they had all been seated in the lounge room, Summer stood up. " ok first off Hannah, Joel both of you know that you are not aloud to run around in the house for that both of you will not get any ice cream to night you will go to bed with out any TV either.
Harlin next time you see your father trying to settle the twins help him ok no play station for a week" said Summer at this point Seth jumped up " he did try to help but I told him not to get involved when the phone rang." Said Seth coming to the defence of his son. " fine then ban lifted…. Now will you three go out to the pool house while Annie and I talk to your father." She said to her youngest three.
Harlin opened the door to the pool house which had every toy known to man it. There were pool toys and train tracks, tea sets, play stations, a toy to keep every Cohen child happy. Hannah went straight for the bathroom to change in to her swimmers " Hannah you know mums rule no pool with out some one of 12 with you and I'm only 11 sorry sis" he said before she could close the door " that sucks its a silly rule" she replied " I know but you don't want to be banned from the pool either do you?" Harlin asked " no" Hannah replied. Joel climbed onto the bed that was situated in the middle of the room " Harlin I'm going to have my nap now" he told his older brother " ok Joel have a good one" Harlin replied as he sat down with Hannah and started to read to her before he got half way through the book she was asleep he laid her down next to Joel, then he went back into the house to get some thing to eat were he meet his sister " hey sis what up?" he asked " nothing dweeb " " gezz don't bite my head off…what is that time of the month already glad Hannah's only 5 " Harlin said walking out to the pool house with some milk three glasses and two boxes of chocolate cookies.
