Chapter four

Samantha looked at Bam with a frown after her mom left.

"What?" He asked, calming down "That was really cold, Dad."
"What? Me?"
"Yes you! There was no reason for you to treat her that way."
"I'm sorry, Samantha, but you're plenty old enough to hear this. Your mother is a bitch, and she has been a bitch since before you were born. And after you were born she's been doing nothing but make my life a living hell."
"Fine. Whatever. But remember, she is my mom." Samantha said curtly before walking away

A loud scream and a crash came from inside of Bam's house. Raab, hearing his daughter scream, ran inside to see what had happened. He entered Bam's editing room to see Dyllan, Jason and Brianne on the floor frantically digging through the rubble from an overturned desk.

"What's going on in here? Where's Christene?' Raab asked, trying not to sound worried (which he very much was)
Dyllan looked up at him with a look that was a mixture of panic and amusement "Raab we're trying to dig her out right now." He said while pulling away piles of papers
Raab's eyes widened "Dig her out! What the hell happened!" He rushed over to them and got down on the floor in front of the desk
"We went to prank her and it sort of went wrong." Jason tried to explain "We scared her with these fake spiders and some how that caused the entire desk to fall over onto her."
"Well don't just fucking sit there! Help me pick the desk up!" Raab exclaimed as he grabbed one end of the desk

Raab, Jason and Dyllan carefully lifted the desk up while Brianne picked up papers, tapes, and other things that were on and around the desk at the time.

"Christene? Are you all right sweetie?" Raab asked as they finished pushing the desk out of the way "Christene?" He paused and looked at a bulge beneath the pile of tapes and computer disks "Oh God please let her be all right. Please let her be all right." He muttered as he began to lift more things off of his daughter

The other three of them began to dig into the pile until they had Christene uncovered. Raab saw her crack her eyes open and he bent down and scooped her up in his arms. He cradled her and he kissed her on top of her head.

"You ok? You hurt?" He asked as he checked her out
"W-what happened?" She asked with a slightly weak voice
"You had a freak desk accident, Christene." Brianne said
"Yeah, sort of a drive-by desk overturning." Jason added with a chuckle to lighten the mood
Christene looked at her friends and shook her head a little "You fucking morons." She grabbed her arm and cringed "Ahh! My arm!" She said, followed by a hiss
Raab gently took her arm in his hands and began to poke and prod at it in places "Can you move it?"
"No." She said with another cringe
"Ok, come on I'm taking you to the emergency room. Your arm's broken."

Raab helped his daughter up and led her over to the door. He turned to the other three teenagers and shook his head in disappointment.

"I hope you three have learned something here." He said sternly
The three of them hung their heads shamefully and spoke at the same time in a low monotone voice "We're sorry."
"Well that's good enough for now. You three better get this room cleaned up before Bam comes in here."

He ushered Christene out the door and downstairs. Finally making it inside to see what was going on, Bam, Dunn and Dico went up to Raab and the injured Christene.

"What happened?" Bam asked, concerned
Raab looked at the three of them "Why don't you go ask your children. I have to get her to the emergency room." He answered curtly before walking away
The three of them looked at Raab and then at each other, stunned. Stacey came out of the kitchen right as Dyllan, Jason and Brianne came downstairs.
"What's going on?" Stacey asked
Bam folded his arms across his chest and his expression grew serious once he saw the other three entering the room "Yes, that's what I'd like to know."
Dico and Dunn looked at their own kids, just as seriously as Bam looked at Dyllan.
"So," Dico asked while looking at Jason "Would you know why Raab was taking Christene to the hospital?"
"I uh…" Jason looked down and rubbed the back of his neck
"You better answer me boy!"
Dunn put a hand in front of Dico to hold him back "Take it easy! I'm sure they didn't do, whatever they did to Christene, intentionally to hurt her." He looked at his daughter, who had her head down shamefully "Brianne what happened up there?"
"Well…"
"Bree look at me when you talk to me."
Brianne sighed and looked at her father "Christene was editing some film and Dyllan and Jason decided to play a prank on her. Dyllan got those stupid little fake spiders from his room and he was going to scare her with them."
Bam looked at Dyllan, once she said that "Is that right, Dyl?"
Dyllan nodded "But we didn't think that any one would possibly get that scared of them! I'll show them to you right now and you'll laugh at how fucking obviously fake they are!"
"Dyllan that's enough." Bam said firmly "What caused her to get hurt like that?"
"She jumped up and screamed over the spiders that we dropped on the desk, and some how that caused the desk to fall over on top of her."
"Dyllan please. You can't expect me to believe that. Dunn's picked things out of his beard that were more believable than that story." He said as he pointed to Dunn
Jason sighed "Ok here's the thing. Brianne dropped the spiders onto the desk, which caused Christene to scream. Dyllan and I went on either side of the desk and knocked it over. We thought that she moved out of the way, but the desk fell on top of her. That's the absolute truth."
"Ok well why didn't you just say that to begin with?" Dico asked. He then pointed to all three of them "You better start thinking of a way to apologize to Christene and make this up to her once she comes back."
"Yes sir." They said in unison, just like they did to Raab
"And you better hope that nothing's seriously wrong with her too." Dunn added
"Yes sir." The repeated the same way
"And if there's any damage in my editing room, in any way shape or form, the three of you are paying for the repaired. Even if you have to work off your debt doing odd jobs around the house. You got that?" Bam replied
"Yes sir."
"And that means more than your usual chores around here, Dyllan."
"I got it Dad. Is this little lecture over with now?"
"Yes, now you kids go outside for a while." Bam said "You too Stace."
"Ok Uncle Bam."

The four teens walked away and went outside like Bam had told them. Bam sighed heavily and ran his hands through his hair. Dunn shook his head as Dico looked like he was about to start pacing.

"Shit…" Bam muttered "They're seventeen years old and they're acting like they're five."
"Yeah I know. They're just like we used to be." Dico said, using Dunn's shoulder for an elbow rest
Dunn glanced at Dico's elbow and then rolled his eyes "They're trying to kill us, I swear."
"Yeah, by making us realize what it's like to be around people just as crazy as we were when we were younger." Added Bam

The three of them nodded in agreement and then looked at each other. They started to laugh at the same time, not even noticing someone enter the room.

"What's so funny?" She asked with a grin
"Oh! Hey Gina, we didn't hear you come in." Bam said to his wife before continuing to laugh
She put an arm around her husband and gave him a kiss on the cheek "So, what's so funny?"
"We're just… sort of reminiscing." Dunn said
"Do I even want to know?" Gina asked
"Oh just, realizing how much our kids remind us of ourselves when we were their age." Dico answered
"Oh I see. So what are the kids up to?"
"Well um… What do you mean?"
"I just came home to hear this commotion upstairs and I figured it had something to do with the kids."
"Gina, let's just say I have a feeling Christene might be coming back with a cast or something."
Gina's eyes widened "Why? What happened?"
"It's a long story." Bam placed an arm around her waist and started to walk away with her "I'll tell you all about it in our room." He glanced back at Dico and Dunn with a smirk that read "I'll be back later".

Once Bam and Gina were out of the room, Dunn and Dico looked at each other and shook their heads.

"There they go again." Dunn said
"Yeah it's surprising that they only have one kid together, as often as they do it." Laughed Dico "And Bam will use any situation or excuse just to get her in bed and she usually goes along with it!"
"I know. If only I could do that with my wife. I should ask Bam how he does it."
"Eew."
"Not that. Oh never mind." He said as he turned away to go back outside
