It was Teddy's turn to tend bar, but she was late.

Jimmy was antsy, "She's never late." He said looking at Kevin.

Kevin shrugged, but before he could answer Teddy came running in carrying a small box, "Sorry I'm late. I needed to stop by and get something."

She put the box on the bar. Jimmy and Kevin watched as she opened the box.

"So what is it?" Kevin inquired.

"Coasters, I didn't refinish the bar for nothing."

The coasters were midnight blue with a hollow shamrock and a red firework in the center.

Jimmy picked one of them up, "These are as nice as the bar."

"Thank you. Now let me get to work." She went behind the bar and began serving drinks.

Teddy put a beer in front of both of her brothers, "So where's Sean and Tommy?"

They both shrugged.

About a week had gone by when Teddy walked into the Firecracker.

"Jimmy!" He didn't answer her so she yelled louder, "Jimmy!"

Jimmy turned and saw his little sister standing there, "Teddy, what's up?"

"Can I have a beer?" She smiled sweetly at him.

"Nope, no, I don't think so. Do you want me to say it any other way?"

"I guess not." She sat down at the end of the bar, "I don't have anything to do."

"Go home and study. You ain't got nothin' to do my ass."

"Get off my back, will ya?!" She turned her back to him.

He spun her back around, "You can pull that shit with our other brothers, but not me."

"Fuck off! I get that shit from Tommy I don't need it from you too."

Jimmy grabbed her by the arm and pulled her down into the basement. He forced her to sit down in the chair, "Don't you ever talk to me like that again."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I am just having a really bad night and you are the only person that I can blow up at that isn't going to punch me in the face for it."

Jimmy squatted down next to her, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"You can't lie to me. I've known you for too long to not know when you are lying." He stood up and put his hand on the back of her chair, "I'm you big brother you can tell me anything."

She shook her head, "Can't tell you everything."

"Why don't you stay down here and cool off. When you're ready come upstairs and we'll talk."

Teddy nodded and leaned back in the chair.

Jimmy kissed her forehead and went back upstairs.

When he got there Kevin was manning the bar, "Where did you go?"

"Downstairs, I needed a break."

Tommy came rushing in and was looking around the room frantically, "Where is she?"

Kevin looked confused, "Who?"

Jimmy didn't even have to look at him to know who he was looking for, "She's downstairs. I told her to stay down there until she cooled off and wanted to talk."

"I'm the reason she needs to cool off." Tommy sat down, "Give me a beer. I think I should wait to talk to her until I calm down too."

Jimmy gave him a beer and went back to work.

At 3am the bar was closed, the brothers had cleaned up and were getting ready to leave.

Sean came running in, "Ma wants to know where Teddy is she hasn't come home."

Tommy looked up, "Three hours, she's been down there for three hours."

All of them ran downstairs and found Teddy sleeping with her head on her arm.

Jimmy smiled, "I can't believe she fell asleep."

"I can, she's had a rough night." Tommy walked over to her, "Come on, wake up."

Teddy's hand started swinging in the air, "Five more minutes, just five."

"No, now." Tommy stood her up.

Teddy looked around sleepily, "Hey guys."

They all laughed at the look on her face.

Tommy put his arm around her and Teddy pulled away from him. She walked over to Sean, Teddy and Sean have always had a special relationship being they were both the youngest in the family, "I want to go home. What time is it?"

"3 o'clock in the morning."

Teddy woke up quick and looked around at her brothers, "Mom is going to be pissed."

She ran up the stairs and out of the bar.

Teddy was halfway home when she heard someone yell, "Theodora Ann Donnelly!"

Teddy stopped dead in her tracks and turned around. She saw her brothers running toward her, "I'm old enough to walk home alone." She started walking again.

Jimmy yelled, "Girl if you don't stop I'll…"

She stopped, turned and walked toward Jimmy. When she got to him she shoved him hard, "What are you going to do Jimmy, lock me up and throw away the key!?"

Jimmy held his ground, "Don't shove me."

Teddy screamed into the air, "I hate this!" She started walking again, "I swear I hate this town, the people and you." She pointed at Tommy.

"Don't point your finger at me, little girl. You're the one who screwed up."

"I'm sick of you guys trying to run my life."

"You knew who he was and you were going to fuck him anyway."

Teddy's face was turning red; she was getting so mad, "It wasn't like that. I had no intentions of doing anything with him, but I couldn't help it."

Kevin stopped, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, there's a he?"

Teddy looked at him, "Yes, I am a girl, ya know."

"Yes I know." Kevin rolled his eyes.

"So what happened?" Sean put his arm around her shoulders.

"I was out with Charlie tonight and Tommy nearly took his head off."

"You and Charlie?"

"What's wrong with Charlie? He treats me good."

Tommy was equally as mad as Teddy, "Tell them what was going on in the car when I found you."

"We were making out." She decided if Tommy wanted her to tell them and she was mad enough she intended to tell them everything, "The kissing was so hot that all the windows were steamed up. He had his hand up my shirt, I had the button undone on his jeans and I had my hand in them. Then Tommy showed up and ruined all of our fun."

Jimmy looked at her, "Tommy almost took his head off. I would have. All I know is he's Italian and he's no good."

Teddy looked at him and fffd, "You won't think anyone is good enough for your sister!" Then she turned on Kevin, "Do you have an opinion too?"

Kevin shook his head.

"Good I'm going home." Teddy stormed off with Sean.

Jimmy, Tommy and Kevin walked slower so they could talk, "You really found her with Charlie?" Kevin inquired.

Tommy nodded, "They were making out in his car."

Jimmy sounded angry, "I can't believe you didn't put his head through the windshield."

"I thought about it, but Teddy took off and I followed her."

"I think you did the right thing." Jimmy patted Tommy's shoulder.

When the three of them got to the Donnelly apartment their mother was just going to bed, "Now I can go to sleep. Teddy told me she was down at the Firecracker with you guys?"

Jimmy spoke, "Yea she was, she fell asleep and it got busy, so I forgot to call. Sorry."

"Ok, but don't let it happen again."

"Ok ma, good night."
