Chapter 102 (Golfing)

Robert parked the car near the golf course and exited the vehicle. The others exited and waited as Robert pulled the golf clubs from the trunk. They made their way to the building and toward the front desk. Robert pulled out some money and handed it to the man at the desk, it was enough for a full game for the family pack. "Well, we're ready," Robert said as they moved out onto the course.

"It's definitely a beautiful day," Emily said with a small smile. The cool wind blew past the group and the clouds in the sky as if an object in a painting. It was the perfect day to golf and have fun. "Okay, so the lineup…" She pulled out some straws and held them out. "Pick." The group all drew straws and stared at them. Emily would be hitting the ball first, then Robert, then Spencer, and finally Freddie. "Hm, looks like I'm up first." Emily took one of the clubs and set the ball on the tee.

"Hey, we can try to psyche her out," Robert said with a slight smirk. Emily sighed and positioned her club next to the ball.

"I heard that, Robert!" Robert chuckled as Freddie and Spencer laughed. Emily lifted her club and swung it down. The ball sliced through the air, it was very fast. Robert whistled and started walking to the clubs. Emily crossed her arms and smirked. "Yeah, you couldn't psyche me out if you tried." The ball landed on the fairway, making it a clear and clean shot. She walked past Robert and chuckled. "Good luck."

"Yeah, yeah, I got this…" The other three watched with amusement as Robert set his ball on the tee. He raised his club and started to bring it down. Emily started to cough, causing Robert to narrow his eyes. He knew she was trying to get him. He wasn't going to let it affect him, though. He raised his club and swiftly brought it down, hitting the ball hard. The others all watched in awe as the ball flew through the air. Robert turned around and Emily winced, his golf ball was heading directly for the rough.

"Ooh, looks like your ball's not going on a good path." He raised his eyebrow and turned around, his jaw fell when he saw his ball flying right into a tree. Emily laughed and wiped her eye. "Oh that was a beautiful, golden shot!"

"Hah, hah, very funny…" Spencer hit his golf ball next, it landed in the fairway and was a small bit behind Emily's ball. Freddie hit his and landed it a few yards ahead of Emily's. He would be hitting last, since he made it the furthest. The group walked toward their golf balls. Spencer crossed his arms and watched his father getting ready to try and hit his ball out of the trees. "Why me…"

"You know Freddie, do you ever wonder what would happen when Carly ever learns about all of everything?" Spencer asked as he closed his eyes. They knew Carly had to find out about it at some point of time. If anything, if Robert and Emily ever married, she'd have to learn about it by then. Freddie didn't really know the answer to that question. If anything, she might be upset about it, but what could she do about it, anyway? Freddie gave a small sigh and shrugged his shoulders.

"My guess is she'd have to get over it," Freddie replied. It was harder than it sounded, but something would have to happen. If anything, Freddie would probably give her an ultimatum. He didn't want Sam to lose a friend or be hurt, but if that was what was what had to happen, then it would happen that way. "If she wants to tell Tyrone everything, then she can, but I won't let him get close to Sam. If she can be trusted to not tell him, then that's great…I don't want Sam to lose a friend in Carly."

"True, but if you think about it, she might be mad about all the lies…" It was true, but she'd have to understand why they needed to lie. However, there was probably no way for her to see it well without knowing what her grandfather was like. "Not only that, but she needs to know that she's your half sister. Think about it, if she knew this information…" Freddie rubbed his chin and smiled, that meant Carly would at least not have a crush on him anymore. Not only would that be a pain relief for Sam, but it also meant Tyrone would be pleased.

"Yeah, Tyrone would just love knowing Carly didn't have a crush on me anymore…plus, it's been three years." Spencer nodded and rubbed his head. Carly would also now Sam's 'mom' wasn't her real mom by June. After all, Lisa wasn't going to miss her own daughter's wedding, and there was no way anyone was going to ask her to do that. "What are we going to do about Sam's mom, so to speak?" Spencer raised his eyebrows and frowned, he knew about Lisa posing as Sam's mother. "Aunt Lisa is not Sam's real mom…"

"Clearly…you might try talking to Sam about that. I'm sure there's a way to reveal that fact without revealing that you two are together." Freddie rubbed his chin as Spencer moved toward his golf ball. He looked over and snickered when he saw that Robert's ball had made it out of the trees but into the sand trap. "Man dad, are you sure you've golfed before?" Emily covered her mouth and hid her grin, Robert merely narrowed his eyes and glared. "I guess as your son, it's my duty to…show you up!" Spencer hit the ball and watched as it flew into the sky.

"Not bad, make sure it doesn't hit any planes," Robert joked. Spencer smirked and watched his ball come down. His smirk turned to a frown when his golf ball hit the sand trap behind Robert's. Robert laughed and patted Spencer on the shoulder. "It's okay my son, you still haven't shown up your old man." Spencer's mouth was agape, so he pretty much had no mindset to respond to his father's joke. Freddie clicked his tongue and waited for his mom to strike her ball. Spencer walked over to Freddie and grumbled. Freddie smirked and leaned against his club.

"Bro, when you try to talk the talk, you absolutely must walk the walk," Freddie said with a tone full of humor. Spencer rolled his eyes and sighed, he was sure to do better next time. He just couldn't believe he hit the sand, he thought he aimed so perfectly. Freddie watched as Emily's ball soared through the skies. She made it on the green, so she was in the clear. Freddie brought his club to his shoulder and walked toward his ball. "Okay Spence, let me show you how a true golfer does it."

"Oh come on, I bet you've never golfed in your life!" Freddie chuckled and positioned himself next to the ball. He hadn't actually golfed on a real course like this before, but that was fine by him. Spencer crossed his arms and watched as Freddie aimed and brought his club up. Freddie swiftly lowered the club and hit the ball. He watched as the ball made it through the air and landed on the green. It began to roll downhill toward the hole, so Freddie began cheering it on. Spencer's mouth fell in shock and he quickly regained composure. "No! Stop rolling! Stop rolling!"

"It's not stopping, bro!" The ball hit the hole and begun spinning around, going inside at the end. Freddie cheered and Spencer let out a small sigh. He smiled and congratulated his brother, he made it in on three strokes. "Okay Spencer, it's your turn to get that ball over there. Try to get it on the green at least." Spencer nodded and moved toward the ball. He had to say, it was very fun to be with what seemed like real family. He really wanted Carly to have this experience, but he knew it was risky to tell her.

"Hey guys, I was wondering about something," Robert said while crossing his arms over. Emily and Freddie glanced over and Spencer moved toward Robert after hitting his golf ball to the green. Robert closed his eyes and slowly inhaled. "Well, we're all family, and…" He looked over at Emily and smiled softly. He knew they weren't going to get married soon, because they still had to have more time with each other and build some things up again, but there was no reason why they couldn't share the same house. "I'm not sure if this would affect you or not, Spencer…but for Emily, Sam and Freddie…I was thinking that you could move in with me."

"You mean live in a bigger place?" Freddie asked with an obviously pleased and interested tone of voice. He wouldn't mind that at all. Emily rubbed her chin and thought about the suggestion, she wasn't quite sure. Moving took a lot of time, but it could be a good thing. Tyrone certainly wouldn't have people attack his son's home. If anything, he'd probably wonder why his son was letting her move in at all. Plus, if they moved in, it could give some things away.

"Well I'm also thinking that it'd be a place that Tyrone wouldn't know about…and if he did…well I live in a gated community, so to speak." His home was more upscale and expensive, so naturally it was in a guarded area. There were also ways that he could keep Tyrone out. "I can simply request the guards to keep Tyrone away. They check the ID of the people who enter. So, they can keep Tyrone out and any gangs that may try to create trouble. It's just a thought, take time to think about it, though. I just thought now would be a good time to bring it up."

"Actually, I think it's a good idea," Emily said while rubbing her chin. She would have to think more on it, but just from what she heard, she liked it. Plus, people like the mayor or other important people generally lived in guarded communities. Sometimes even military people did, and Robert was military. "Sam and Freddie need that protection, and the reason I moved to that apartment was because I had wanted to be close to Spencer…He is my son, after all…"

"Of course, do think on it." Robert smiled at Emily and gave her a hug. "Either way, I'm glad to have you back with me. You know, I don't know if I can ever truly express just how sorry I am for what happened…"

"Really, it's fine now." Emily chuckled and softly kissed Robert's cheek. "I never really stopped loving you…" Spencer and Freddie smiled and crossed their arms, they weren't about to interrupt their parents' moment.

"They seem so right for each other," Spencer said in a quiet voice. Freddie nodded with agreement, he couldn't think of anything better for the two.

"I have to say, I am impressed," Freddie responded while leaning against his club. "I guess Carly would still live with you…" Spencer nodded and tapped his foot lightly on the ground. It would be best if she did, that way nothing became complicated for Sam and Freddie. The only problem was it gave her more access to Tyrone. Either case, she probably would still go and talk to him whenever she got the chance. "I always wondered why mom doesn't just arrest grandpa…I mean the things he's done…" Freddie raised his eyebrow and sighed, they had explained that case to him once before.

"She made a deal with Tyrone a while back. She wouldn't ever arrest him, he would have immunity, if he doesn't take Carly away." Spencer frowned and shook his head slowly. He was happy about that, but at the same time, it saddened him because he knew Tyrone would still be an issue. "I'm a lawyer, I could draft a restraining order, but…someone else would have to ask me to do that and hand it to a judge, I can't really do that myself." It was a true statement, Spencer couldn't automatically put a restraining order against Tyrone for anyone else unless they wanted him to do that. He also wasn't going to worry about himself, since it wasn't a problem to him.

"Yeah, that's tough…because Sam would file, but Tyrone doesn't think she's my wife. That also means that if she did file for one, he'd immediately know her significance. Mom's too proud to file, I don't need to worry about filing for myself, and Carly's definitely not going to file for one." Spencer nodded once more and exhaled slowly. There wasn't a lot they could do at that given moment, but they would cross that bridge when they came to it.

I hope you enjoyed that chapter. You have to love the family bonding moments!
