Kai's head laid on Carl's lap as she read a book while Carl played a video game. "Play with me." Carl begged as the screen turned red showing the word "LOSER."

"No." Kai mumbled flipping the page. "Please." Carl groaned shaking the girl slowly. "No." Kai smiled looking up at Carl before he stood up making her fall on the ground.

"Asshole." Kai glared grabbing Carl's hand and making him lay next to her. "I don't wanna go home." Kai admitted

"Why do you have to go home?" The young kid asked. "I mean I still have to go at least once a week so my brothers know I'm alive." Kai shrugged sitting up. "Terry's usually home tho sometimes he's to drunk to know I'm there or to drunk that he thinks I'm my mom."

Carl frowned slightly not liking the way Kai looked when she talked about Terry. Her eyes would darken and her face would turn slightly pale.

"I could come with you." Carl suggested making Kai's eyes slightly go wide. "No!" Kai said loudly before she sighed "no I don't think me being with a Gallagher will make Terry any happier." Kai smiled nervously.

"Are you sure?" Carl asked before he was interrupted by Frank and Debbie coming in. 

Hayley stood in the kitchen with Jo eating cereal looking at Frank and Debbie. "Where's my bed!" Frank yelled

"Fuck, Fuck!" Hayley  yelled jumping over the couch and running upstairs "what's happening?" Fiona asked "Frank, drunk, looking for a bed." Lip explained

"Who the hell let him?" Fiona asked "Debbie who else." Hayley sighed glaring at her younger sister.  "I want my old bed back!"  Frank announced

Kai helped Ian and Carl put things in-front of the boys room "Jo little help." Hayley demanded Jo helped Hayley put her dresser in her room doorway

"This is my house." Frank glared "it's okay you can sleep in my room." Debbie smiled "Frank smells like dog piss." Carl complained plucking his nose shut.

"Not dog piss." Frank argued "Gary, the homeless guy."  Frank corrected "I don't think that's any better." Kai mumbled glaring at the man.

"Debs don't let Frank in here anymore." Lip demanded "this is his home too." Debbie tried "He disappeared for months." Hayley muttered rolling her eyes

"And now he's back. Excuse." Debbie demanded "god." Kai sighed dropping her head.

All the Gallagher's were eating food in the kitchen.  "Milk Money." Fiona muttered "Tell your girlfriend to wear clothes, Hayley."

"Don't look if you don't like what you see." Mandy smirked "Sweet." Carl grinned only for Kai to hit him on the head. "Your disgusting." Kai glared

"Pants. Now." Fiona demanded "Jesus. You going to school today?" Mandy asked "yeah." Hayley muttered as the girl walked upstairs.

"Adding the last 50 bucks to the property tax, yo." Lip announced "that should bring us right around where we need to be."

"I didn't put in the money from the last toxic waste gig I had yet." Fiona lied "I can take it after class pay the tax man." Hayley volunteered as she brushed Debbie's hair.

"I don't have it." Fiona admitted making all the kids turn to Fiona.  "Have what?" Lip asked "the money." Fiona mumbled "I used it to put down a deposit on a club night."
