Everyone was enjoying a wonderful home cooked meal, cooked by Kirsten herself. Seth looked over at Ryan who was clearly having a difficult time sitting in his chair.

Sandy noticed as well, "Ryan you okay?"

"Um yeah." Ryan answered as his face turned a light shade of red from embarrassment.

Seth decided to try and be funny.

"Ryan got spanked today, by mom," he smirked.

"Shut up Seth," Ryan grumbled.

"Yes Seth that is none of your business."

Kirsten demanded while giving him a warning look.

"Look, I'm just saying I thought I was still the only one getting spanked; clearly I'm not. That's why it was shocking for me to hear that you had spanked Elena for going to see Trey."

Seth said looking at Ryan then panning towards Elena.

Sandy wiped his mouth. "Well sometimes it's the old fashioned methods that work best."

Seth quietly cleared his throat and they just went back to eating.

Ryan started shifting again in his seat.

Seth noticed the pained look on Ryan's face. He stood up from his chair.

"I'll be right back." Seth smiled and ventured out of the kitchen.

Sandy looked over at Kirsten, "Sweetheart, I was hoping to go surfing tomorrow morning. Do you need me for anything?"

Kirsten smiled, "no, have fun."

Ryan lifted his head and looked at Sandy.

"Surfing? I didn't know you surfed."

"Oh yeah, for years now." He smiled.

"That's really cool; I've always wanted to try it."

Ryan replied running a hand through his ash blonde hair.

"Oh? Would you like to come with me? I'm going to get up around 5:30 in the morning though."

"Yeah that'll be so cool." Ryan smiled.

"Eww…5:30 in the morning; Ryan you better not wake me."

Elena said taking a bite of her spaghetti.

Ryan gave her a look and just shook his head. Elena was going to say something but stopped when Seth entered the room holding a pillow.

"Here, I have learned that this helps to make it easier to sit, especially on a wooden chair."

Ryan took the pillow and nodded gratefully.

"Thanks man."

He stood up and put the pillow on his seat and sat back down.

"Hey where's mine? I was spanked too you know." Elena pouted.

Seth chuckled. "It didn't look like you really needed one.

Elena nodded. "Yeah you're right I guess." She chuckled.

*****OCOCOCOCOCOCOCOCOCOCOC*****

Sandy and Ryan were on the pier eating breakfast after a few hours of surfing.

"That was so much fun, thanks Sandy."

Ryan smiled as he took a sip of his coffee.

"No problem Ryan, It was fun."

Sandy paused for a second before speaking again.

"Look Kirstin and I have been thinking about what happened yesterday with Elena and how you ended up getting in trouble."

Ryan looked down at the table and blushed.

"Well, we want you to be just like any other 16 year old and have fun. If it's okay with you and Elena, we would like to move her in the house so she could have her own room. We would be solely responsible for her; we are not saying you couldn't look after your little sister; we just want you to be her big brother and not her father as well. What do you think?"

Ryan took about a minute to think about it. He smiled.

"Yeah Sandy, that would be great, thanks. But I want to talk it over with Elena first if that's okay."

"Yes of course that's okay. We want to make sure Elena is comfortable with that. As parental figures, we just may have to spank her at some point."

Ryan nodded, "yeah, she is quite used to that type of punishment, "he chuckled slightly, "me on the other hand, other than yesterday, I don't remember the last time I um…got spanked. I didn't think Kirsten had so much strength."

Sandy just chuckled as the waitress brought their food.

"Hey Sandy?"

"Yeah?" he smiled slightly.

"Thanks, for everything."

"You're welcome Ryan."

*****OCOCOCOCOCOCOC*****

Ryan and Sandy returned home later that afternoon. They heard Kirsten lecturing Seth in the kitchen.

"Seth, how many times do I tell you to do your chores before you go out leave the house, period?"

"Umm a lot?"

Sandy sighed hearing Kirsten and Seth.

"Hey Ryan can you take Elena and maybe go to a movie or something?" he asked handing him about fifty dollars.

"Uh sure Sandy thanks."

Sandy nodded and smiled. He walked off to the kitchen. Ryan walked in the living room and saw Elena watching TV.

"Hey munchkin, we're going to the movies."

Elena smiled and slipped on her sneakers. "Okay!" she grabbed his hand and he left with a smiled.

*****OCOCOCOCOCOCOCOC****

"Kirsten did I hear correctly? Did Seth leave the house again before doing his chores?"

"Yes, he did. I took Elena out shopping for some new clothes. When we returned home, Seth was gone and his chores were not done; not even started."

Seth just looked at the floor while his parents discussed the situation.

"Seth Ezekiel," Sandy said sternly, "that's it, we've warned you over and over again; but, apparently our words aren't getting through to you."

Seth gulped knowing what was coming to him.

"Mom, Dad I'm sorry I won't do it again."

"That's right, and I'm going to make sure you don't."

Sandy gently grabbed his upper arm and exchanged spots with him on the kitchen chair. He pulled down his shorts and boxers to his knees and bent him over his lap. He picked up the wooden spoon that was on the counter behind him. Immediately he started to land stinging swats to his bottom. He made sure to get the most vulnerable part of his bottom; the under curve.

"Oww! Dad I'm sorry!" Seth yelled and kicked his legs.

"I know son, but you need to learn when we set a rule, we aren't doing it to simply hear ourselves talk.

"I know and I'm sorry, honest! Please stop, please stop! It hurts!"

"It's supposed to hurt young man that is why it's a punishment."

He spanked him for another good minute before he put down the spoon. He pulled up his boxers and shorts and stood him up. He gently cradled his head in his hands and looked in his eyes and wiped tears away with the pad of his thumb.

"Seth, I love you so much son."

Seth nodded and sniffled. "I love you too dad."

Sandy nodded and just hugged him. He held his son close for a good five minutes before they pulled apart.

"Go do your chores now son." Sandy smirked gently patting his face.

"Okay." He nodded and walked out of the kitchen.

Kirsten smiled and walked to Sandy wrapping her arms around him. "I love you."

"I love you too." He smiled kissing her head.
