The guys finally got home around two. I knew they were late but I was not that worried. I hoped they were okay but I remember Darry had broken curfew many times. They had gotten and Darry had yelled at both of them. Darry then notice Pony and Soda necks. Seem they had found girls for the night both of them had hickeys on their neck. Darry and I were not too happy with the guys, but they said they could not punished them and I said why? Apparently Darry had left a hickey on my neck. Darry looked and saw. He faced turned red but we could grounded them for breaking curfew by two hours and I gave them each a week. So that meant Pony was going to be grounded for the next two weeks, so that meant he could help me with moving future and painting. Plus he could help me with other stuff around the house as well. Darry told them to go to sleep and we were going to busy tomorrow.
The next morning I work up. I was going to start making breakfast .and thinking I was going to buy a new set of pans. I knew Darry was not exactly happy about fixing up the house with my money, but he was going to have to get over that. We needed to fix the house up and I wanted to. I was living there and wanted to help out as much as possible. I knew trying to get custody of Steve was going to be difficult but I think we could manage it. We both make enough to take care of everyone. Most of the time the gang was here anyway, and I need not want Steve anywhere near his father.
After everyone was up and fed. Darry and I decided to go around the house and see what needed replace. Every room was going to be painted. Pony and Soda wanted green and I told them that was fine. I act Steve what his favorite color was and he said blue, so the guess room was going to be blue. Darry and me room was going to be purple cause he said no to black. We argue for about 15 mins before we finally agreed on purple. The living room was going to be a light red and the kitchen was going to stay white but with a fresh coat of paint. We decided that we are going to look at new beds because I think we needed them. I told Pony he could pick out a new desk, and everyone was getting a new night stand. We decided to keep the table and just refinish it. We went off to the only mall in Tulsa. We brought all three trucks- mine, Steve's and Darry. This was going to take a while. We were going to the mall first and getting the furniture then we were going to the hard ware store to get the rest of the stuff we need. I knew we were going to redo the floor in the kitchen, but that it.
We got to the mall and got everything picked out. Darry was not happy with all we brought but it was going to make the house look so much nicer. Then we went to the hardware store, and we lost Pony in the not very big hardware store. I hope he was just looking at something. I was right he was looking at something when I final found him, he was getting a girl phone number. That boy is getting on my last nerve. I pulled him away when she was walking away from him. I told him we needed to get paint and screws. He was not allowed to use the phone while he was grounded and he just glared at me and I returned the glared back. We finally finshed at the hardware store and were going to start working on the house. The guys did most of the construction work, such as fixing doors or patching holes in the wall. The place was already looking better.
The next day Pony and Steve were the only ones home. They got to help paint. They did a pretty good job. Then they had to move in furturie and move out the old. This was going to take a while. We had taken a break to have lunch. I had made left over tuna noddle casserole the gang seemed to like last night and the guys seem to like it today. After we ate we finshed with everything. It did not take as long as I thought. I told Pony he could take a shower first then Steve could take one. I still would not let him go home. The house was great looking, but I still wanted to fix the fence outside and the flowerbed before our meeting next week with the social worker. We were going to try to get custody over Steve and me personally able to legal help with Pony and Soda. Soda and Steve were seventeen, which was still a year where they need a guardian. We had not told the anything that was going to happen. Darry and I made enough money together to help run the house. The home improvement I think was going to help. We had a week to get everything together. Steve was looking and feeling much better. He was going back to work tomorrow, and I told him he was to come here after work. He father was willing to get us the right to him because he was about ready to lose the house and could not take care of his son. To be honest I don't think he ever wanted a kid in the first place. I wanted to have a large family, and so did Darry. I think we may end up with one pretty soon.
A/N: Thanks darrylover4ever for the review….I knew this took me awhile but be busy lately. I am going to hopefully have the next chapter done soon. I will post it once I get at least one review. I am going to finish this and then go back and fix some the grammar and spelling errors. I know what is going to be about next.
