After walking around aimlessly for a while Sandy met up with the others. He had decided to tell Kirsten about his brother's financial problems but wasn't so sure if he should tell her about the affair. He knew she wouldn't be so keen on helping him if she knew and it wasn't as if Sandy approved of the affair or that he didnt agree thathis brother was totally stupid but at the end of the day they were brothers and he would always help him. Plus Kirsten would find it hard not to tell his wife, it would be better all round if he just told her about his money problems.

He met them outside the big Virgin store on Times Square and they went to a small Italian restaurant off one of the side streets. The meal was delicious and they were all enjoying each others company. This time away from home was making them all appreciate the fact that soon everything would change and this family time would be very rare. Once they had finished they wandered over to the Empire State and were in such good spirits that Seth let Sandy and Kirsten hold hands the whole way there although he did stay a good distance away from them!

Ryan was taken away by the view on from the observation deck and even though heights scared the hell out of him he went through the outside part as well. While he was on his own he went to the shop and bought a miniature Empire State, he wanted something to keep that would remind him of his first trip away with the Cohen's. For all he knew it could be his last as well.

"Isn't it amazing?" Seth was standing looking out at all the city lights. "This is third time we've been up here and it's still amazing. Summer would love it up here."

"Maybe we should bring the girls one time?"

"Ryan, man, what an excellent idea. Now let's go find the parents we've been up here forever and I'm ready to go find a good movie to watch in our bed!" They found Sandy and Kirsten, still holding hands, reading some fascinating fact about New York.

"You boys ready to go are you? Guess the history lesson is over for a while then!" The four of them went back to the hotel and said goodnight in elevator. Sandy was hoping the boys would want to do something else but he knew he was just trying to put off telling Kirsten. He knew he would have to talk to Kirsten about it sometime but he just wished he knew the answers to the many questions she was bound to have.

"So how's Ben?" He didn't know how she managed to somehow know what was on his mind, always. They were in their room by now and Kirsten was starting to get ready for bed while Sandy sat on the bed and took his shoes off.

"You know its funny you should ask that I was just thinking about him. Erm he's having a few problems at the moment. In a nutshell he lost the business, is in debt to basically a loan shark and we're the only oneswho know. As far as everyone else knows he still owns a business." Kirsten had stopped what she was doing and was now giving Sandy her full attention. "He wanted me to come over here to help him, he wasn't worried about my mom's health she's fine. However they guy he owns money to has threatened to hurt him, his wife and hour mom if he doesn't pay up."

"Oh my God, Sandy. What is he going to do? How stupid is he? Why didn't he come to you in the first place before he went and loaned money off strangers."

"Trust me I've told him how stupid he is a number of times. He was desperate and I guess it just seemed like a quick fix."

"How quick can we get him the money? Obviously we're going to give him the money there's no way we would let him put your mom in danger."

"I actually don't think it's as simple as that." He had to tell her everything. "Ben had an affair with they guy's wife. The guy he owes money to. I think whether he pays up or not Ben is going to get hurt. There's no way someone like that would just let him walk away." Kirsten was stunned. Ben and Jane had always seemed happy, I mean its not like they saw them a lot but she just couldn't believe her brother-in-law was like that. She'd always thought he was quite like Sandy.

"I just don't believe this. He conned you into coming over here on the pretence that he was worried about your mom and after telling you he needs money he also needs your help because he's been sleeping with someone else's wife! He'd unbelievably cheeky. He's lucky he's not here because I'd love to give him a piece of my mind! He knew you would help him no matter what. I used to think he was like you too now I know he's nothing like you is he?"

"Kirsten." Sandy went over to her and took her hands. "You don't have to worry about me having an affair I don't think another woman would have me! Seriously I wouldn't, couldn't, ever look at another woman you're all that I need and more. As for my brother, yes he's acted like the biggest idiot ever but he's still my brother. I have to help him he'll pay us back once he's back on his feet. As for his marriage that's his problem. The truth will come out eventually and I wouldn't like to be him when it does."

"He doesn't know how lucky he is to have you but he better not mess with you because he'll have me to deal with." She took his face in her hands and kissed him. She pushed him onto the bed. "Now I do believe he have some unfinished business from before when we were so rudely interrupted by our boys!" Her lips were back on his.

"I love it when you get all bossy!" Sandy could relax in the comfort of his wife. She knew everything and together they would solve any problem.

Sandy's brother wasn't having as good a night as he was. Rather than going home once Sandy left, he stayed in the bar for several hours drowning his sorrows with the little money he had left. Then rather than go home to his wife he went to his bit on the side, Gaby, only to find that her husband was at home as well. So Ben's night didn't end well. In fact it ended up with him face down in a gutter barely conscious. All he could think about was how he hoped Sandy would come looking for him.

Thanks again for the reviews, hope you liked this chapter. Also I'm really tired so I hope there aren't too many mistakes!
