Zandra woke up at three the next morning to her phone going off. She looked down to see that it was Tommy calling her. With a sigh she answered the phone. "Tommy its three in the morning."

"yeah baby I know but I need you to do something for me." Tommy said. "Can you bring me a change of cloths?"

"Sure baby." Zandra said getting out of bed. "where do you want me to meet you at?"

"The airport, by the bathrooms." Tommy replied. The line then went dead. Zandra quickly got changed and got a bag ready for Tommy.

At the airport Zandra waited by the restrooms nervously. She looked up at the clock wanting to go back to her warm bed. When Tommy walked up to her she could tell he hadn't been home for the entire time she was gone. He was in the same cloths he was in when she left. His long black hair was very greasy looking and his hansome face was covered in dirt. She smiled and gave him a hug running her hands through his hair. When they pulled apart and Zandra smacked him hard across the face causing him to stumble back a bit. She took a step back and the moment she did Leland came out of the bathroom and took Tommy down. Dog and Duane Lee stood close by encase Leland needed help. As soon as he was cuffed Leland brought Tommy to his feet.

"You stupid bitch! All this because I sold your car!" Tommy said trying hard to get at Zandra.

"You shouldnt have sold my car." Zandra replied. "If you would have sold the truck I wouldn't have hit you so hard."

"The truck is mine any ways." Tommy retorted. "Your car is just worth more."

"Correction Tommy not. I bought the car and its under my name." Zandra replied with a smirk. "Making it my truck. You were just renting it remember. You didn't wanna have it under your name. But thanks for paying it off for me. Adam will love finally having a truck to drive."

"I can't believe you did this to me. How are you going to raise those four basterd boys on your own. Don't even try letting Adam drive my truck!"

Zandra slowly walked up to him and smacked him hard across the face. "Dont you ever talk about them like that ever again. You have no clue what they've been through."

"I hope those boys break you! I hope they take every thing you own." Tommy spat back. Leland tightened his grip on Tommy's arm causing him to make a pained face. Dog took a hold of Tommy's other arm and lead him away. Zandra quickly dropped the bag she was holding and went into the woman's restroom before any one could see her cry. Zandra could feel a panic attack coming on. Tommy had brought up all of her fears. She knew that it was going to be a struggle raising the boys on her own. But they had nowhere else to go. Zandra slid down the bathroom wall as the tears streamed down her face.

"Hey are you ok?" some one asked walking over to her and putting their arm around her shoulders. Zandra looked up to see that it was Beth. Zandra just shook her head as the room started spinning.

"I'm about to pass out." Zandra said and every thing went black.

When Zandra woke up she could tell she was laying in a hospital bed. She looked around to see that she was alone. She sighed and looked down at the iv in her hand. Who ever put that in was lucky she was out or she would have had a death match with them. She hated needles. It was a surprise to any one that knew that fact to find out that she had four tattoos.

The door opened and the boys walked in followed by Beth and Lyssa.

"Aunt Zandra!" Zac cried out when he saw that she was awake. All four boys rushed to her side. Zandra smiled and gave them a hug.

"how long have I been out? It must have been while or you boys wouldn't be talking to me yet." Zandra said as Zac crawled up on the bed next to her. She could tell that he had been crying and pulled him closer lujq q worried mother.

"You've only been out for three hours." Beth replied with a smile. "We went and got the boys right after we brought you here. They've been hanging out in the waiting room with Leland and Duane Lee."

Zandra smiled. "Well I bet those two are warn out now."

"They are so cool!" Matty said causing the others to gasp. Zandra brought him into a hug as the tears started to stream down her face. She was so glad he finally talked. He hadn't said a word for almost three weeks. Zandra turned to Beth.

"Thank them for me." Zandra said and Beth smiled.

"We'll let you do that in a few moments." Beth replied. "We would all like to talk to you for a moment."

Zandra nodded answer Adam lead his brothers out of the room. They met Leland and Duane Lee in the doorway. Leland messed up Jonas's hair while Adam tried to take Leland's hat. Matty and Zac both grabbed one of Duane Lee's arms and tried to bring him down with no luck. Zandra laughed then pretended to get serious.

"boys behave if possible." Zandra warned. Jonas made a face at her. "boy dont even make me come out of this bed and kick your ass."

Jonas laughed and the others stopped picking on the guys. They walked out leaving Zandra witter the others.

"Zandra honey, we would like to ask what had happened to you after Tommy was taken away." Beth said concerned. Zandra couldn't help but smile. It had been a long time since some one was concerned for her. Usually she was the one worrying about people.

"Just a panic attack. I haven't had one of those since I still lived in Iowa." Zandra replied and she could see the questions in they're eyes so she kept going. "I had the panic attack because Tommy had brought up a lot of my fears. Like how will I be able to support myself and four boys. Or will they go back to being trouble makers and they'll be to much for me to handle. They just have no where else to go."

"you're so young to be taking this big of a responsibility by your self." Lyssa said and Zandra nodded.

"I know but I couldn't let them get thrown into a foster home." Zandra said sadly. "I know there are a lot of good foster homes out there, but I also know that there are some pretty bad ones as well. I also know that they wouldn't have been placed in the same home. No one wants four boys with a history of theft and beating the living shit out of each other on a daily bases."

Leland laughed, "You don't say. I'll be sore for a week from keeping Jonas from killing Zac."

Beth smiled. "You know I have an idea. Why dont you come work for us in the office. We need some one to man the phone."

"I'd like that but my schedule is very tight with the boys living with me now." Zandra said with a sad smile.

"Baby bring them with you they can help watch our kids." Beth said with a smile.

Zandra thought about it for a moment. "When do I start?"
