Jack and Sally were
lying together at the top of spiral hill. They were
exhausted from some of the "stuff" they did earlier and they knew
that it was about time to head back but why now, after all the kids
didn't call yet. Jack snuggled closer to sally and he
gave her a kiss.
"I love you Jack."
"I love you too,"
Jack said as he traced his finger along the stitches on her
head. Then he traced it down along the stitches by her
neck that went down to her chest. She looked so pretty in
the moonlight. He was about to kiss her again when the
phone rang.
"Damn! Well I guess nothing good ever
lasts."
Sally started to put her clothes back on as Jack
answered the phone.
"Hello."
"Dad the twins are crying
again."
"Okay we'll be back in a few minutes. How
were things?"
"Uhh…okay."
"Okay Sid what did you
break this time?"
"The window."
"How the hell did that
happen?!"
"Well…Jackie was getting in one of her 'moods'
again and she was…"
"So you got in another
fight."
"Yeah."
"Okay we'll be back soon. You're
grounded."
"That didn't sound too good." Said Sally.
"Sid
and Jackie got in another fight and Sid broke the goddamned
window!"
"When will they learn?"
Jack got all of his
clothes back on and they went back home.
"Jack, I have something
to tell you."
"Don't tell me that you're pregnant
again."
Sally laughed, "No that's not it."
"Well what
do you want to tell me?"
"I kinda…sewed Jackie's mouth
shut before we left."
"Why?!"
"I didn't want her to
start screaming while we were gone. I wanted to spend some
time with you and I didn't want her to ruin it."
"I can see
why. You do realize that some people would think that's
child abuse?"
"Yes, we're almost at the house and I can
already hear crying. And it doesn't sound like it's
just Chris and Holly either."
They entered the house to see Sid
sitting in the corner rocking back in forth, whenever he broke
something Jack got pissed and when Jack got pissed HE GOT
PISSED. Jackie was crying on the floor with a bloody
mouth, and the twins were in their rooms crying.
"Oh my God just
look at you Jackie!" said Sally.
"Oh my God just look at that
window!" Jack said sarcastically, "That window's coming out of
your allowance young man!"
"What allowance!?"
"That's
enough of your smart ass remarks go to your room!"
Sally was
wiping the blood off of Jackie's face.
"Oh baby mommy's so
sorry. Mommy didn't know any better. Let
mommy make it all better. Jack can you take care of the
twins, I've got to sew Jackie's mouth together."
"Okay but
come up to help as soon as your done."
As Jack walked up the
stairs he remembered how much fun him and Sally had just an hour
ago. It was unlikely but he wished that they would have
the energy after they got the twins to go to sleep to do it again.
