A/N This is the last of the old chapters. I will post one of the new chapters that I wrote sometime next week. Chapter five is going to be the last chapter unless I get reviewswhenI postthe new chapter.

Kirsten was sleeping soudly till she heard noise coming form the back of the yard. She would have dismissed it as Seth and Ryan goofing off and being loud if it hadn't been almost 3 morning. Both of her son's should be asleep by now they both knew about their curfew and what the consequences were for breaking them.

Kirsten turned on her side and tried to shake Sandy awake. "Sandy, Sandy, wake up please wake up" Kirsten whispered. Sandy didn't stir a bit so Kirsten got up and turned on the small lights above their beds.

Sandy's eyelids fluttered a bit. Sandy thought he heard someone talking to him but he thought it might just be his dream. He woke up to check on Kirsten and saw she was already awake. "Why are you up?" Sandy questioned his wife.

"I heard loud noises coming from the backyard."

Sandy looked out the window but it was too dark to see anything. "Would you like me to go check it out" Sandy said to his scared wife.

"Yes, please Sandy" Kirsten pleaded.

Sandy threw the sheets off and pulled on pants over his boxers and left and didn't bother changing his shirt.

"Be careful" Kirsten yelled after him.

Sandy grabbed the baseball bat that was resting in the closet. He didn't like keeping guns in the house. To many tragic stories that he felt could have been prevented. Sandy walked quietly down the hallway.

He quietly walked down to Seth's room and inched the door open. Seth was safely asleep in his bed. He had gone to bed after his new "girl" friend had left late that night.

Sandy was more concerned about Ryan since his room was out near where Kirsten heard the noise. Sandy slowly walked towards the back door and hesitantly turned the door knob.

If Ryan and Summer would have been a little quieter they made have heard Sandy's footsteps heading near the pool house to check on Ryan.

Sandy stepped outside baseball bat at the ready. He was scared what he would find but as the man of the house it was his duty to protect his family. As he rounded the corner he couldn't believe what he saw.

Without even thinking Sandy yelled "What the hell do you think you are doing"

Summer and Ryan turned knowing that had recognized the voice. Both were feeling very embarrassed. Sandy was so mad at the time he didn't even realize that they were doing anything other than regular swimming. He didn't see much thanks to the darkening sky.

He turned his back to talk to them "Summer get dressed, Kirsten will drive you home" trying to lessen the embrassement for Summer.

Ryan dared to speak "Do you have to tell Kirsten"

"No, but tomorrow don't make any plans" Sandy tone was much angrier with Ryan since he was one of his sons.

Ryan knew he was deep trouble.
