lip and i went to the gallagher house and i had caroline with me.
"hey!" lip asked as we walked in.
"hey." debbie said.
"good, i was, uh, hoping to catch you all home. we wanted to talk to y'all about something." lip said.
"you pregnant?" debbie asked looking at me.
"oh, no." i replied.
"no. um, we wanted..." lip began but ian cut him off.
"you're dying." ian said.
"no, just...hold on. jesus christ, could we just have a, uh, family meeting? all right?" lip asked them.
"how long is it gonna take? i'm fucking starving, lip." mickey said.
"just be patient, mick." i told him.
"we, uh... we were thinking we wanna sell the house. you know, i mean this house, the, uh... the gallagher house. you know, if we fix it up a little bit, like mel and i did with our place, uh, we could make a nice profit. we'd each take our share, and, uh, you know, we could... get on with our lives." lip said making everyone silent.
"fuck that. good idea, but no way. you're not selling my house." debbie said.
"we're in." mickey said.
after that everyone started shouting at each other and i saw frank walk out the door with a beer in his hand.

lip, caroline and i went back to the gallagher house the next morning and we saw debbie was making breakfast.
"we're fine, debbie. also, don't call me melanie." i told her.
there was only two people who called me that, my grandma and lip... well, my old professor did too, but that's beside the point.
"uh, good. thanks, though. so, um... things got a little bit heated last night, but now that we've all slept on it, i would like to reopen the discussion about fixing up the house to sell. um... if we knocked out a couple walls, created a more open floor plan, we could add 30 grand to the sale price." lip explained.
it was silent other than debbie whisking the pancake mix aggressively.
"the silence is deafening." emma said.
"debs, what do you think?" lip asked her.
"oh, phillip... well, i think you can take your open floor plan and lick my vagina." debbie told him.
