I do NOT own Blue Bloods, I do NOT own the Reagan family.
"DANIEL, JOSEPH, ERIN, JAMISON, I CALLED YOU FIVE MINUTES AGO! DINNER IS READY, LETS GO!" Frank Reagan was yelling to his children, who were playing basketball outside.
"Coming Dad".
As the kids walked past him, he swatted each of them. "You know better, I shouldn't have to call you more than once." Frank said sternly.
"Yes sir" Each of the children answered respectfully.
Mary had just placed the last of the dinner on the table, "Frank, would you like to say grace, so we can eat".
Frank blessed the food, and they all began eating.
"Hey Jamie, you have a good day at preschool?" Danny asked
"I didn't go today, I stayed with Mimi and Pop! And it was fun" Jamie said beaming.
"That's NOT fair, why did I have to go to stupid school, and he got to stay with Pop all day? Danny complained.
"Daniel, watch your tone and your language at the table, or you and I will have a very unpleasant conversation after dinner with an unpleasant dessert, if you know what I mean" Frank's voice was low and in warning.
"Yes, sir" Danny sighed.
Dinner continued quietly and after everyone was done, Frank looked at his oldest and said "Danny, I think you and I will do the dishes tonight".
Danny looked at his dad, and was about to protest, he didn't say anything else after the warning. Was he still in trouble?
"Yes, sir" Danny began clearing the table and Frank began helping him.
"Danny, why did you get so upset when Jamie said he spent the day with Pop? You did the same thing when you were his age".
"I know dad, but I don't like school and Jamie was supposed to have been in preschool today. It's been a while since I spent the day with just Pop, and I guess I just…" Danny's voice got quiet.
"You just what son" Frank persisted.
"I felt jealous that Jamie got to do something I couldn't, that's all dad. I'm sorry" Danny said. The dishes were all in the dishwasher by now and he was waiting to find out if he was in trouble or if his dad just wanted to talk with him.
"Um, dad, Am I in trouble for what I said at the table and if I am, could we please just get it over with?" Danny said.
"No son, you're not in trouble for what you said. I corrected it at the table, and you didn't say anything more after my warning, but hear this son, you mind your mannera at the dinner table or we will be having a conversation, understood".
"yes, sir"
Just as they were coming out of the kitchen, Frank could hear Erin and Joe arguing about something in the living room.
"HEY!" Frank yelled to get their attention.
"Dad, Erin went into my backpack without my permission and took out my homework!"
"I didn't mean to take out his homework, that he got a C- on, I was looking for a pencil".
"That's enough! Erin go to your room, You know the rules about touching other's belongings. We have talked about this before, go, now. Joseph, I want to see that homework now!" Frank said trying to keep his cool. His kids were certainly cruising for a bruising tonight and he wasn't in the mood. He was trying to keep his cool.
"Yes, sir" Joe said and handed his paper that he had worked really hard on but just couldn't seem to understand the assignment. His teacher had sat him down after giving him the grade and told him he could redo it with help from a tutor if he would like. He had told her that he would, but she still wanted Joe to have the paper signed.
"Dad, I sat down with Sister Paula and explained that I didn't understand…" Joe started to explain.
"STOP! YOU KNOW VERY WELL THE RULES IN THIS HOUSE JOSEPH CONNER REAGAN. GO TO YOUR ROOM NOW!" Frank lost his cool. He couldn't believe his son was going to try making excuses for this.
"But Dad, I…" Joe started trying to explain again.
Frank reached out, Grabbed Joe's arm and landed a dozen hard swats on his backside. "I TOLD YOU TO GO TO YOUR ROOM AND THAT IS WHERE YOU ARE GOING" Frank yelled as he dragged Joe up the stairs.
"But Dad please!" Joe was crying, he knew that his dad was angry with him and if those dozen swats were anything like what he was in for, he would be needing a pillow for Sunday dinner and it was only Wednesday.
"Frank, can you come here please?" Mary knew Frank was angry. She was angry too, but she wanted Frank calm before punishing their son.
"Mary…" Frank said
"Frank, Now!" Mary didn't budge.
"YOU STAY IN YOUR ROOM AND DON'T COME OUT UNTIL I SAY SO, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?" Frank hollered at Joe.
"Yyyess Sir" Joe managed through tears.
Meanwhile, Danny had been trying to calm Jamie down because Jamie was sensitive and was crying because daddy was yelling really loud.
"Hey kiddo, it's alright. Dad's not going to hurt Joe" At least not too bad Danny thought of times when Frank was this angry with him and how his backside hurt after his father showed his displeasure.
"Daddy's going to kill Joe?"
"No, Dad's not going to kill Joe" Danny said (only one part of him, his backside, Danny thought).
Frank met Mary in their bedroom, "Do you think he was trying to hide his paper from us Mary? He is usually a good student; I don't understand this at all" Frank told Mary.
"Well Frank, he was trying to tell you that he met with Sister Paula, maybe after we cool off a little, we can both go in and TALK with him" Mary said, emphasizing the word TALK.
"Your right, I usually allow the kids to explain their side and I didn't let Joe, I'll talk with him"
"We will talk with him Frank"
"Yes dear"
"Daddy, are you going to give Joe a spanking?" Jamie asked?
"I don't know Buddy, Daddy got pretty angry and didn't let him explain. I have to let him talk to me and tell me his side of the story, but your sister is going to be getting a spanking" Frank said. He knew that this problem all started because Erin went into her brothers' bag without permission.
Frank walked into his daughters' room and Erin looked at him "I'm sorry Dad, I was just looking for a pencil, honest." She spoke.
"Erin Reagan, you know that the rules of this house is you don't touch anyone's belongings without permission. You broke that rule. You also know that when you break a rule you get a spanking"
"But dad, you wouldn't have known about Joe's bad paper if I didn't"
"You don't know that Joe wouldn't have showed it to me later, besides this isn't about your brother, this is about you. Now pick up your hairbrush and bring it over to me and bend over my lap" Frank demanded.
"Bbbutt Dad" Erin stumbled to find her words.
"If I have to tell you again, you will be receiving your spanking with the hairbrush on you bare bottom, do I make myself clear" Frank said sternly.
"Yes, Sir" Erin picked up her hairbrush and brought it over to her dad and leaned over his lap.
"Your receiving 20 swats" With that said Frank proceeded in disciplining his daughter for breaking a house rule.
After Frank was done dueling out punishment to his daughter, he held her and told her everything was forgiven, but that she needed to apologize to her brother.
"Yes, sir, I'm sorry" Erin cried into her dad's shirt.
"It's going to be alright" Frank said as he stood up and started walking out of her room. "I'm going to go talk with your brother, I want you to apologize before bedtime".
"Yes, sir" Erin replied.
While Erin was getting her punishment, Joe was in his room. His dad had told him not to leave his room until he said so. Because Frank and Mary hadn't told him otherwise, he also thought he wouldn't be given a chance to explain what the paper was about. He was going to tell them about it, the meeting with Sister Paula, and tell them that he was getting help to complete the makeup, but his dad had just yelled at him and didn't give him any time to explain and when he tried to he got swatted HARD. Joe felt angry at Erin, she had to ruin everything all the time. He was getting her back for this!
There was a knock-on Joe's door. Frank and Mary came in and Mary said "Honey, can you please sit up so we can talk".
"Yes, ma'am" Joe said as he rolled over and sat up wincing because his backside still ached from the dozen swats, he received.
"I'm sorry that I didn't allow you to explain yourself earlier, your mom and I talked and really would like your explanation of this C- "Frank said.
"I was going to show it to you after dinner. All I had for homework was to get the paper signed by a parent. Sister Paula sat me down after class today, which is why I was late coming out of school today and told me that I could redo it with a tutor if I would like. I told her I would like to do that. She told me that she still wanted the paper signed, so I was going to have you sign it tonight after dinner" Joe explained.
"Why did you get such a low grade to begin with?" Frank asked.
"I didn't understand the assignment, but I didn't want to ask for help because Danny and Erin are picking on me so much as it is, I didn't want them to add to it and think that I was dumb". Joe started to cry,
"Oh, honey, you're not dumb because you didn't understand an assignment. I'm going to talk with your brother and sister about them picking on you, you should always feel comfortable asking for help when you need it" Mary put her arm around her son.
"Thanks mom" Joe said. "So, are you still angry with me because of my grade?" Joe asked.
"No, I'm not mad, I'm glad you're going to get help and redo it. I'm sorry that I didn't let you explain earlier" Frank said sincerely.
"Do you want to shower in mine and your dad's shower tonight and then lay on our bed to watch a movie before bed?" Mary asked him. She knew that he liked doing that and wanted him to know he was no longer in trouble.
A smile appeared on Joe's face, "yes please".
Joe stood up, hugged both his parents, and went to take a shower. Frank looked at his watch "I have to get ready for my tour tonight" he said to Mary as he walked away and into his room to change into his suit and tie.
"Jamie needs to get a bath and in bed" Mary said. She went into the kid's bathroom and started a bath and went downstairs to get Jamie.
"Jamie, time for a bath sweetheart" Mary said to Jamie who was playing with his action figures with Danny.
"Danny do it" Jamie said.
"No little man, you need a bath and Danny needs to do his homework, which I know he has been putting off because he's been keeping you entertained but needs to do it all the same" Mary said sternly.
"NO!" Jamie yelled and threw an action figure at Mary.
Mary moved with great speed and reach Jamie in two steps, with one arm she lifted the four-year-old up and with the other she swatted his backside four times. "You don't tell mommy no and you don't throw action figures at mommy" Mary said.
"If he is going to throw them, then he doesn't want them, and I will take them away" Frank came down the stairs.
"No daddy, please don't take them away" Jamie cried
"Then do as your told" Frank said and went into the kitchen to see what he could bring for dinner at work.
"Dad, umm… one of my assignments, which isn't due until next week but is still one of my assignments is to go with one of my parents to see what they do at their jobs, can I please go with you one of these days?" Danny asked, following Frank into the kitchen.
"I don't know Danny; I'm working nights for a couple days and then not sure what cases I will have" Frank said.
"Please dad, I really want to be a cop" Danny said pleadingly.
This wasn't the first time Frank had heard that Danny wanted to be a cop but hadn't heard him say this for a couple months and something in Danny's voice made him look up from making his sandwich. "I'll tell you what, I have a tour on Saturday during the day, if I don't have too bad of a case you can come with me for part of the day and when I drop Sunday dinner off at Pop's I can drop you off then too. How does that sound?" said Frank.
"That would be great, Dad!" Danny said excitedly.
"Alright, go do your homework"
"Yes, Sir" and Danny left the kitchen happily as Frank continued to pack his dinner for his night tour.
After Frank was finished, he went upstairs to say goodnight to his children and his wife.
"Erin, be good for mom, I have to go to work. I love you. Remember, you need to apologize to Joe before the night is through" Frank said.
"Dad, can you please send Joe in here, since I'm not allowed to leave my room?" Erin asked.
"Sure" and Frank kissed her forehead and left the room.
He walked into his room where Joe was just beginning a movie "Hey Joe, before you start the movie, could you please go see Erin? She needs to apologize to you for going into your backpack without permission" Frank said.
"Sure, dad." Joe said.
"Thanks son. I love you. I will see you tomorrow morning before school. Have a good night. Be good for mom".
"I will, stay safe" Joe said.
"Always"
Frank went into Danny's room, where he almost tripped over a huge pile of clothes. "Think you could pick up your clothes Daniel" Frank asked rhetorically. "I have to leave; I will see you before you leave for school tomorrow. Be good for mom. I love you" Frank said.
"I love you too dad. Stay safe and I will see you in the morning" Danny said, looking up from his desk where he was finishing his homework.
"Always"
He went into the bathroom next to say goodnight and goodbye to Mary and Jamie. "Goodnight Jamie, you be a good boy for mommy. Go to bed and I will see you before you go to preschool tomorrow morning" Frank said.
"I don't want you to go to work daddy" Jamie said.
"I know buddy, but daddy has to go so he can make penny's so he can buy you things" Frank said as he took Jamie into his arms and hugged him tight.
"Goodnight daddy" Jamie said.
"Goodnight" Frank said
Then Frank looked at Mary and said, "I'll be home before the kids go to school tomorrow morning. I love you and will see you tomorrow morning."
"Be safe tonight Frank. I love you too" Mary said.
Frank left after that and Mary put Jamie to bed. Said goodnight to Erin. Checked on Danny.
"Danny, if you're finished your homework, you can pickup your room. It's a mess!" Mary complained.
"But it's my room. I like it this way" Danny said sarcastically.
"Really Danny, you're giving me attitude as soon as your father walks out the door. I want this room picked up, and then you can just go to bed." Mary said sternly.
"Fine, goodnight" Danny said angerly.
Mary went into her room and saw Joe was watching a movie and told him that he could watch 15 more minutes of the movie before she wanted him in bed.
"Yes, ma'am" Joe responded respectfully. He wasn't really watching the movie anyway. He was thinking of ways to get back at Erin. Yes, she was punished, apologized, and he didn't get into trouble, but he was still angry with her.
"I think I'll just go to bed now, goodnight mom" Joe said.
"Goodnight sweetheart, I love you" Mary said.
"Love you too"
On his way to his room, Joe stopped by the kid's bathroom. He brushed his teeth and the idea of how to get back at Erin came to him. He picked up her toothbrush and rubbed soap all over it. He rinsed it off only a little and put it back. 'I'll show her what happens when she touches my things' Joe thought to himself and went into his room and went to bed.
Early the next morning and the Reagan household was busy getting ready for the day.
"Come on Danny, wake up!" Mary yelled for the third time.
"No, I'm too tired" was Danny's reply.
"Then you will go to bed tonight at 7PM right after dinner, so you'll come home, do your homework, eat dinner, take a shower, and go to bed. GET UP NOW!" Mary was frustrated. Danny always hated waking up, and usually needed to be warned four times before he rolled out of bed.
Mary went into Erin's room, "good morning sweety, time to wake up for school. Get your uniform on and go brush your hair and your teeth, okay?" Mary said to her daughter.
"Okay, mom" Erin was easy in the mornings.
Joe was already up and dressed when she walked into his room that morning. He wanted to make sure that he was up to see Erin brush her teeth, knowing that his mom usually woke her up first and she usually brushed her teeth before he even woke up. "Good morning! Your up early" Mary said surprised.
"I slept well, and woke up early" Joe reply, not looking at her because he couldn't lie to save his life.
Just then they heard Erin go into the bathroom to brush her teeth. A little while later and they heard her gagging, trying to get the taste of soap out of her mouth. Mary rushed into the bathroom to see what was wrong.
"There is soap on my toothbrush, mom. SOAP!" Erin cried.
Knowing that Danny was usually the one for practical jokes, Mary yelled "DANIEL FRANIS REGEAN, GET IN HERE RIGHT NOW!"
"What, I didn't do anything" Danny said as he came out of his room still not dressed, but in his boxers.
"Don't lie to me. You want to lie, you want to put soap on your sister's toothbrush, maybe you need your mouth washed out with soap" Mary said angrily.
"No, mom. I didn't do that. I swear. I didn't touch Erin's toothbrush" Danny said wide eyed.
"Get in here Daniel, I'm not going to say it again" Mary's voice was dangerously low.
Joe couldn't take it any longer, although he wanted not to get in trouble for this, he didn't want Danny to take the blame. He stepped out of his room and into the hallway "wait mom, I was mad last night, after Erin touched my things and I was the one that put the soap on her toothbrush, I just wanted to teach her not to touch my things" Joe said.
"I got a spanking last night and had to apologize for touching your things, I said I was sorry" Erin cried.
Just then Frank walked in and could hear the commotion going on upstairs. 'What is going on up there this morning' Frank thought.
"I'm sorry, Erin. I was just still angry. Mom, I'll take whatever punishment. Just please don't punish Danny, he didn't do anything wrong" Joe said.
"Why do you need to be punished at all?" Frank asked coming up the stairs behind Joe.
Joe closed his eyes; he had forgotten his dad said he would see him before going to school this morning. He turned around slowly "Oh, hey dad" Joe said.
"Answer my question son, why would you be punished at all?" Frank repeated his question.
"I was angry at Erin for touching my things so I put soap on her toothbrush, so she would taste soap this morning when she brushed her teeth. Mom was yelling at Danny because he usually is the one that plays practical jokes and I didn't want him to get in trouble so I stepped forward and told mom it was me, and that I would take the punishment" Joe explained.
"Well, your sister got 20 swats with the hairbrush for breaking the house rule of not touching other people's belongings, so I guess it would only be fair that you got the same" Frank said sternly.
"Yes, Sir" Joe said.
Frank walked into the bathroom, took Erin's hairbrush, "I'll bring this right back" and went into Joe's room to punish his son. Mary followed him.
"Joseph, I'm taking it that you wanted to hear and see your sister brush her teeth this morning and that was the real reason why you got up early, am I correct?" Mary asked.
"Yes, ma'am" Joe replied, knowing that lying usually meant a washed-out mouth as well as a spanking.
"Very well, you know what that means, and I think that since you put soap on your sister's toothbrush, I will do the same to you" Mary said as she walked out of his room so that Frank could finish punishing him.
"You're getting a total of 30 swats, 20 for touching another person's belongings without permission, and 10 for lying" Frank said and completed the task of punishing Joe.
