A/N: Here is another update! So, I need to make a few points before I begin. One of my reviewers asked a question that I think I should tell everyone.

There question was if the Martins lived in the same house as in THABTO, and the answer is no. Their house in THABTO had 2 or 3 bedrooms and no stairs; however, their house in this story has stairs and enough rooms for all three kids to have their own room. Plus, Cody and Bailey have their room, and finally, Cody has his office. Their house is big because, if you don't recall, they're rich!

Okay, enough of my blabbing! On with the chapter!

"Kinley, open your door. I need to get your laundry," Bailey said, holding a bunch of clothes. When there was no answer, she kicked the door again. "Kinley!"

Still no answer. Bailey sighed and turned around. "Fine, wash your own clothes! I won't be around forever, you know!"

She went downstairs to the laundry room and placed the dirty clothes in the washing machine. After starting the machine, Bailey exited the room and shut the door behind her. She walked into the kitchen and sighed. Now what do I do? She thought to herself... Cody took the boys to the batting cages and Kinley locked herself in her room.

Bailey leaned against the cabinet and sighed once more. Her attention was turned to a sound coming from Cody's office. She headed toward the office and opened the door, listening for the noise.

Kinley's cell phone was beeping on Cody's desk. Bailey picked it up and flipped it open, revealing a new voicemail. She hit the talk button and listened to the message.

"K-Kinley, it's Ch-Chandler," Chandler said, voice shaking. "I'm in a big mess and I-I need your help. I wanted you to be the first one to know so that way you could maybe, uh, help me..."

Bailey pressed the phone closer to her ear so she could hear.

"Kinley! I don't know what to do!" Chandler exclaimed. "I guess I better just tell you..." She paused and breathed heavily. "I-I'm pregnant..."

Bailey dropped the phone and covered her mouth with her hand. "Oh, dear God... Bentley!"

~*~*~*~

Cody and Brady sat on a bench as Bentley was in the cage hitting some baseballs. "So, your mom says you're having some trouble with math," Cody said.

Brady shrugged. "I guess..."

"Do you need help? You know that I can help."

Brady sighed. "Yes, Dad, because you made straight A's every year in every class. But I'm not you!"

Cody frowned and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm sorry; I just wanted to help."

Brady nodded. "I'm going to get more tokens." At that, he stood up and walked away.

Cody continued to watch his son practice in the cage. Bentley's phone rang and Cody answered it. "Hey honey. We'll be home in about an hour or so. Kinley still under-control?"

"Cody! Get Bentley home, now!" Bailey demanded over the phone.

"Why?" Cody asked.

"Because I'm going to kick his teenage ass!" Bailey yelled, and then hung up suddenly.

Cody looked at the phone, confused. "Bentley," he called out.

Bentley didn't move from his stance. "What?" he asked, swinging the bat and sending the ball soaring.

"Your mother wants you home now. She seems pretty mad," Cody explained.

Bentley huffed. "Ten more minutes."

"No, Son, let's go!" Cody demanded.

Bentley placed the bat on his shoulder and turned around. "Dad..."

"Let's go!" Cody headed for the car.

Bentley groaned and finally gave in, starting for the car too.

~*~*~*~

Kinley closed her eyes and smiled. "Do I really have to go home?" She nuzzled herself closer to Scott.

Scott chuckled. "Unfortunately, yes... Considering you aren't even suppose to be gone..."

Kinley groaned into his chest. "My dad is so stupid! I can't believe he grounded me! You're so lucky that you don't know your dad!"

Scott frowned. "I think you're the lucky one, babe. I'd love to meet my dad, but he is out of the picture and I can't do anything about it."

"Yeah, but you don't ever get in trouble! I get yelled at for the tiniest things!" she argued.

"My mom works two jobs. She doesn't have time to punish me..."

Kinley sat up and looked down at Scott. "You're not getting my point, sweetie."

Scott put a hand to her cheek and rubbed it with his thumb. "And you're not getting mine... Your dad just cares for you and wants the best for you, understand?"

Kinley smiled and nodded. "Thanks, Scott." She leaned down and pressed her lips lightly to his.

"Anytime, babe," Scott replied. He studied Kinley's face and asked, "What?"

"I don't get you," Kinley answered. Scott cocked his head, so she continued, "You give the impression of a 'bad boy', but underneath it all, you're so sweet... Why?"

Scott shrugged. "People wouldn't take me seriously. This way, no one bothers me..."

"I'd take you seriously," Kinley whispered.

Scott raised an eyebrow. "Honestly, what made you talk to me last night at the party?"

"Chandler," she muttered, looking down.

He chuckled. "Other than Chandler."

Kinley gazed back up. "Well, everything really... I mean, it was your eyes, your clothes..." She felt herself lean in toward Scott. "...your sexy voice, and your irresistible lips..."

Before she knew it, they were locked in a heated kiss.

~*~*~*~

Cody, Bentley, and Brady walked into the Martin household. Bailey was in the living room, cross-armed and her foot tapping. "Brady, go to your room," she instructed.

Brady obeyed and climbed the stairs. As soon as Bailey heard Brady's bedroom door shut, she turned to Bentley. "Would you like to explain to me what you and Chandler do when you're together?"

"Bailey, what are you talking about?" Cody asked, reaching for her shoulder.

"Let him answer," Bailey demanded through gritted teeth. "Bentley?"

"Mom, I seriously don't know what you're talking about!" Bentley protested.

Bailey took out Kinley's phone and played the voicemail on speaker. "Now, do you understand?"

Bentley went pale and froze while Cody tightened his grip on the baseball bat, causing his knuckles to turn white. "Bentley, please tell me that Chandler is not pregnant," Cody said, slowly.

"I don't know! You heard the message, Dad! Kinley was the first person she told! I had no idea, I swear!" Bentley yelled, beginning to cry.

"You're seventeen! You can't go around having sex whenever you want!" Bailey shouted.

"You and Dad had sex when you were seventeen," Bentley stated.

Bailey put her hands on her hips. "Who told you that?"

"Dad..." Bentley answered.

Bailey scoffed and looked to Cody. "Why on earth would you tell him that?" she asked in a whisper.

"I don't play sports! I had to let him know I'm a man," Cody said.

Bailey rolled her eyes. "I am too young to be a grandmother!"

"You're forty, Mom," Bentley stated.

"Exactly!" she exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air.

"Mom, I'm sorry!" Bentley apologized.

Bailey sniffed and wiped her eyes. Cody began rubbing her back as Bentley just stared at his hands in his lap.

Brady's voice came from the top of the stairs. "Mom? Dad?"

"Yes, Brady?" Cody asked.

"Kinley's gone," Brady informed.

Cody and Bailey shared a glance, and then ran up to Kinley's room.
