The trouble with Brothers and Sisters

"But Dad," Carla banged her fist on the kitchen counter, "That's not fair it's a double standard. You're letting him go to the same party!"

"Your mother and I are letting your brother go because he has proved to us that he can be responsible, you have not."

"What ever happened to second chances?"

"We've given you many chances and every time you prove to us you can't be trusted," Dani stepped in to support her husband.

"Why don't you just send me to a foster home if you hate me that much?" She screamed.

"Carla we don't hate you we-"

"Well I HATE YOU!" Carla stormed out of the kitchen, "And I'm not coming home tonight!" She yelled as she also slammed the front door.

"Remind me to lock Maria up in a tower before she turns thirteen," Antonio sighed.

"It's just the age, all girls go through it," Dani reassured her husband.

Antonio shook his head, "I have to go to work I'll see you later," He kissed his wife on the lips.


Crawling towards the couch thirteen mouth old Serena lifted herself up and stood up. Although she could stand and take a few steps she was still learning how to walk and preferred to hold onto something or someone.

She climbed onto the couch and smiled. "Maa!" She cheered happily and clapped.

"Look at you, you climbed on the couch all by yourself," Gabriela smiled as she stood up, "Just make sure you don't fall."

Serena clapped again and smiled and pointed to Michael.

"You want to see your brother?" Gabriela picked up Michael and put him beside Serena.

Serena kissed his cheek and hugged him.

"Nice kisses Serena," Gabriela turned around briefly to get her IPhone.

"No," Michael pushed Serena off the couch and smiled as she landed with a thump on the carpet.

"WAAAA!" Serena let out a loud wail as tears streamed down her face and kicked her feet, "WAAA!"

Although Gabriela had turned around she had heard Michael say 'no' and was almost positive he must have pushed her.

"Michael, no hitting," Gabriela picked Serena up and examined her head, "Serena's hurt, ouch."

Michael stared at his mother.

"I'm not happy with you," Gabriela took Michael and put him on the carpet in front of some books and stuffed animals, "We don't hit."

"Hurt," Serena rubbed her bruised forehead and pointed to the pretend play medical bag on the carpet."

"Do you want Mommy to make you all better?" Gabriela sat down and sat the infant on her lap as she reached for the pretend medical bag.

"Gla," Serena picked up the cast and handed it to Gabriela.

"Does you head need a cast?"

"Hjg," Serena babbled as she chewed on the plastic toy.

"How about some kisses would that helped make you feel better?" Gabriela kissed her forehead.


"So that's why I can't go to the party," Carla told her friends about her discussion with her parents that morning.

"Why don't you just sneak out?" Mandy suggested, "My boyfriend and I can pick you up."

"My father's a police officer he can smell trouble a mile away. It'll never work."

"Say you're staying at my house."

"Then they'll think I'm going to the party," Carla rolled her eyes."

"Carly can cover for you," Chelsea spoke of her seventeen year old sister, "She can pretend to be our mother if your parents call. You can tell them you're sleeping over at my house."

"Won't your parents get suspicious?"

"No," Chelsea took a huge sigh, "They're on another one of their world adventures, they won't know a thing. Plus I've hid so many of Carly's parties from Mom and Dad she owes me."

"And you think she'll do it?" Carla asked.

"She has to I have her and her boyfriend having sex on video."

"Ewe, you watched!" Mandy spit out some of her juice.

"Hell no, I set up a hidden camera in her room. I knew they would do it. Now I have it on camera."

"You haven't watched it have you?"

"God no, I'm no perve, I'm just going to use it as blackmail. Now can we please change the topic before I throw-up?"


Carla got down on her hands and knees and pulled out a bag from the very back of her closet. Inside was a dress she had bought on a trip to the mall a few weeks ago. It hugged her body perfectly but if her parents ever found out she bought it she'd be dead. For her however that was part of the thrill.

"Carla, Chelsea and Carly are here!" Dani called from the bottom of the stairs.

"Coming!" Carla stuffed her dress in her overnight bag and grabbed her school bag. Carla decided to tell her parents she and Hope needed to work on a project for Science and that they wanted to use the forest near her house.

Dani had thought it over and then called Antonio at work. They agreed but had very specific rules and said they'd be calling throughout the night. They wanted to give Carla a chance to prove she could be responsible.

"I want to have a sleepover!" Maria told her mother as Carla walked down the stairs, "Can I have one?"

Dani dreaded the thought of having multiple six year old girls staying overnight but figured it was bond to happen sometime. And Maria only had four friends; she knew all the parents and they all lived within ten blocks of their house. This made it easy for parents to come and pick their daughter up if she got homesick.

"We'll talk about it," Dani kissed her daughter's head, "I need to see what Daddy and your friends parents say."

"Yay!" Maria cheered happily.


"Hey Captain," Donnie Steven's knocked on Matt's open office door, "Your wife and twins are here to see you."

Matt lifted his head from his paperwork, "Are they okay?"

"Not sure, Meeks holding Serena, you never know what could happen with her around." He joked at the expense of his close friend Sara.

"I'm sure she's fine," Matt walked out of his office and down the hallway.

"Da," Michael smiled happily as he saw his father, kicking his feet he struggled to get out of Luke O'Conner's grip.

"Here you go buddy, go see Daddy," Luke set the young infant on the ground and made sure he was steady on his feet before letting go.

"Come on Michael," Matt stood inches away from his son and held out his arms, "Walk to Daddy," He prompted.

Michael took a small wobbly step and then another before falling. He got back up and made it within reaching arms of Matt who picked him up and hugged him.

"Da," Michael gave Matt a sloppy kiss on the cheek.

Matt held Michael in his arms as he turned to Serena who was still content in Sara's arms. He did however notice the bruise on her forehead.

"What happened there?" He asked Gabby pointing to the bruise.

"Sibling jealousy, Michael pushed Serena off the couch."

Matt's eyes widened, "Sibling jealousy that young?"

"Carla and Freddie started around the same age. They want attention and they don't have the words to talk yet."

"Is she okay? Just a bruise no throwing up?"

Gabby stared at her husband, "Really Matt? I'm a trained paramedic. You don't think I'd know if are daughter had a head injury."

"Right. Sorry," Matt apologized and then changed the subject, "So what brings you here?"

"I decided we needed a night out and since there's a new restaurant I want to try-"

"Who's taking Thing One and Thing Two?"

"We are. It's a family friendly restaurant and besides I think they're ready."

"Okay, you're the expert," Matt kissed her on the lips, "Let me just get my things and then we can go." He saw the next shift arriving and knew they'd respond to any incoming calls.


At two o'clock in the morning Gabriela's cell phone let out a loud vibrating echo.

Jolting up both Gabby and Matt checked their cell phones both used to late night calls they were light sleepers.

"Who is it?" Matt rolled over to face his wife.

"I don't know I can't hear anything," Gabriela tried to understand the muffled voices over the blaring music.

A few new sounds and a rustle of a door the music entered the background and the voice became clearer.

"Tia Gabby!" Carla slurred her words, "I drank too much, I don't feel well!"
