Alright, I know this is really short, but I'm currently on my dads old laptop, on the floor, with a big, white, german shepherd attacking me. He kept walking across the freaking keyboard while I was typing. He stepped on my hand at least eighty two times, and he ain't light. But, I hope you guys enjoy it anyway! I put lots of heart into it! And thanks so much for all the reviews! They rock, and you rock, all of you!


It was sunrise, almost. The kids were still sleeping soundly in their beds. Danny went to his hideout in the middle of the night, a small, abandoned cabin. He told his parents he was going to a friend's house for a sleepover, what other friend than Lucas? His best pal for life would never squeal on him, unless he wanted to get back at him for something.

Duncan walked into the hallway between Sam and Kyle's rooms, and held a frying pan up, ready to slam it with a spatula.

"Alright, come on, guys… Rise and Shine!" He yelled as he began slamming it with all his might.

"Oh god, dad wants us to do that crappy 'get up before the freakin' sun does' thing. I thought he was against that." Sam said to herself as she rubbed her eyes.

"He'd better not be taking us hunting, or fishing, or anything that involves gutting something." Kyle mumbled as he rubbed his eyes.

"Come on guys! We're going fishing!"

"NO, WE ARE NOT!" Courtney yelled as she walked into the cabin.

"YAY! Mommy saves the day!" Kyle squealed from his room.

"Princess, you said we should have some family fun."

"Fishing isn't fun. You always have us do something disgusting, I don't want be touching some icky, slimy, squirmy thing then have to cut it open and eat it later. It's gross!"

"Says the woman that killed a shark. Sure, Princess. We're going fishing even if I have to drag you on the boat."

"No we aren't. You might be the head, but I make the decisions. I'm your brain." Courtney put her hands on her hips, Duncan just stared at her with a straight face and some "Oh, come on" eyes. He dropped the frying pan and spatula and grabbed her by the hips, throwing her over his shoulder.

"Duncan! LET ME DOWN!" Courtney yelled as she screamed and kicked.

"As the head, I get to decide where my brain is going to be. You may not want to fish, but you're still coming with me."

"I hate you." Courtney said as she crossed her arms.

"Love you too, Princess. Sam, get your brother out of bed!"


"The man may be the head of the woman, but the woman is the brain of the man."


"Ugh, I think I'm gonna be sick." Sam lunged over the side of the boat, ready to puke.

"Sammy, you never get sick on boats. You never get sick on anything. One of the positive things you got from your mother." Duncan took a glance to Courtney, whom was on her PDA.

"I thought I told you to leave that thing at home, Court."

"You know I can't live without it, you ogre."

"You can live without it for a few days, now hand it over."

"Make me." Courtney gave him a smirk as she continued typing on it. Duncan grabbed it from her hand and threw it as far from the boat as he could.

"DUNCAN!" Courtney screamed as she tried to jump overboard for it. Duncan caught her by the rim of her shirt, and held her back until he could no longer see the stupid device any longer. Courtney's shocked face stood frozen. Her mouth was dropped, and her hand was desperately reached out for her lost love.

"Duncan, all my information was on that! How could you do such a thing! I hate you! I hate this entire stupid trip! I wanna go home!" Courtney cried and screamed and kicked around before bringing herself to the ground.

"Why are you acting so PMSy, babe? You're seriously annoying the hell out of me. Yesterday you were totally chilled."

"WHY AM I ACTING SO PMSY? YOU JUST THREW AN EXPENSIVE DEVICE OVER THE SIDE OF A BOAT! I THINK YOU'D BE MAD TOO IF I THREW SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO YOU IN THE WATER!"

"I'm about to throw something important to me in the water just so she shuts up. Chill out, hon. You're getting all riled up for nothing, you've got insurance on it, and all the files have already been backed up. When we get home you'll get a brand new one, nothing was lost." Duncan calmly spoke to her and rubbed her back as he sat down next to her. He began kissing her neck, and nuzzled her shoulder.

"Let's not fight so much, honey." Courtney said to him as she rubbed his leg tenderly.

"Mom, you're not supposed to give in to Dad's pathetic seducing! You know he's only doing it to get lucky." Kyle called out from the front of the boat.

"Dad! I think I got one!" Sam called out from the front of the boat.

"Reel it in, Sam." Duncan said as he grabbed the net and prepared to place it under the fish. Sam began reeling, and soon the fish's image could be seen through the murky water. The silver coloring busted through and began flapping around, Sam hurried to throw it into the net. Duncan tried to keep it in with his hand.

"This is a big one Sam! Good job!" The fish squirmed around before finally started to rest. Its eyes settled on the scenery around it, and it prepared to meet its fate.

"My uncle Sebastian always told me this day would come. I just didn't know it would come so soon." The fish thought to himself as he was brought inside the boat.

"Aw, he looks so helpless." Sam cooed at the poor thing. There was something special about this fish, he seemed too beautiful to eat. His gold and silver scales seemed the change to different shades of green and blue when he took a gulp of air, and his spiked fins changed from shades of neon green to black.

"He looks like you, dad." Sam said as she looked at the innocent fish.

"Yeah, he does." Kyle said as he peeked his head at it.

"Let's throw him back, it might be bad luck to eat this one." Duncan picked up the fish by the hook in his mouth, and cut the fishing wire with his knife, then sent him back to the deep lake where he came from.

"Freedom!" The fish thought as he was released. Then an eagle swooped down and grabbed the exact same fish.

"Woah. Maybe that fish was bad luck." Kyle said as he watched the eagle gulp up the poor fish.

"It's the stupid eagle that was tricked though, I left the hook in the fishes mouth, that thing is gonna swallow it and choke."

"Either way they both got screwed." Sam chuckled and crossed her arms.

"You mean they both got hooked." Kyle's joke fell flat, even though he was desperately awaiting even a chuckle.


"How do you say 'I love you' in French?"

"A kiss?"


Sam looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. Danny was back for tonight, but only because Sam begged him to death. She didn't want to be alone anymore.

She looked around her stomach area. She only now noticed it, but she had been gaining weight around there. Only slightly, but it was enough to notice when she wasn't wearing a shirt. She knew she had been pregnant, for weeks now. She's been having symptoms again, on and off, and now she's gaining weight.

"I knew it." Sam began walking out of the bathroom and back into her room, when her dad stopped her.

"Sam, hold on a sec." He said as he reached out a hand for her.

"What? I wanna go to bed."

"You've been acting, odd, for a while now. I don't wanna point out any, you know, girl issues, but… if there is anything seriously wrong, or if you've just got something on your mind, remember you can talk to me about anything, okay?" Sam looked into his aquatic ice blue eyes, and broke down into tears.

"I slept with Elliot, then he abused me and now I'm pregnant!" Sam rushed into his arms. The rest of the world seemed to fade away as she spoke, even if all the words came so quickly, they slowed down and lingered in the room.

Duncan's heart raced… Abused. That stupid jerk abused her, and Pregnant. He can't be a grandpa, not this soon. Not this soon at all. He tormented his parents enough making them grandparents while he was only eighteen. Now he's just thirty eight, he can't have grandkids now! Another thing, who on earth is the father? It'll be a dark day if it's Elliot, Duncan would never allow his grandchild to be claimed as a McLean, the man also abused his daughter, something she didn't tell the police. And Courtney will have a heart attack if it turns out to be Danny's kid, no way does she want Gwen's DNA anywhere near her grandchild, it's bad enough her daughter is messing around with her son. There really aren't any other boys he'd prefer to be the father. Only time will tell…


Sooo, Sam was still pregnant. IS still pregnant, is better placed. Well, I gotta roll, authors notes gettin shorter and shorter, but they will get longer! Love ya'll! Reviews are good for the soul, both of the receiver and giver.
