After a long, rough week of back-breaking manual labor, Saturday mornings were for sleeping in until nine o'clock, lounging around in your underwear, and eating an unhealthy amount of Lucky Charms while watching HGTV. Unfortunately for Bucky, he was woken up at six-thirty by a frantic phone from his sister.

So where did Bucky find himself at eight in the morning on his lazy Saturday off? On his back, under his sister's clogged-up kitchen sink. "Jesus Christ, Rebecca, what did you put down this drain?", Bucky grumbled.

She scuffed, "I didn't put anything down there, James; it was your niece and nephew.", she sassed from her perch on the counter.

Bucky rolled his eyes, not that she could see.

"I heard from Stace that she saw you at Friends last night.", Becca said, her fingers flexing around her coffee mug as she watched her brother.

Bucky grunted, "Yeah, went out with the guys last night.", he said, reaching in his bag for the wrench.

Becca hummed, "She also told me that you were flirting with some box-dyed redhead from outta town.", she said disapprovingly, craning her neck to watch her brother's face.

With another grunt, Bucky detached the pipes. He barely moved his head to the side when water and gunk fell from the detached pipe. With a string of colorful curses, he felt around for a flashlight he knew was in his bag. "Yeah, what about it?", he asked, shining the flashlight into the pipe. He knew where this was going; Rebecca was too invested in his love life for his comfort.

"Stace said you two walked outside together, you came back, and she didn't.", Becca asked, peeping over the countertop at her brother.

Bucky snorted, "Stace is nosy and needs to mind her own business.", he replied coolly. He was not talking to his sister about his sex life. Not that anything had happened, he walked Kaylee to her car.

"So?", Becca commented, obviously waiting for her brother to spill the tea.

Bucky sighed, "Becca, there is nothing else to say. I went out for drinks with my buddies last night after work, played pool, flirted with a woman, and went home.", he said, not going any further. He would not budge on this; he and Becca were close, but not that close.

"So, you didn't have sex with her?", Becca asked.

Bucky ignored her question. He pulled a slimy, sticky glob from the trap, scrunching his face. "What in the hell?", he mutters. Careful not to give himself a concussion, he sits up. "Bec, what the fuck is this?", he asks, holding the glob in his palm.

It couldn't have been anything good from the defeated whimper that his sister gave as her head dropped forward and her fingers tightened around her coffee cup. "Tobias! Madeline!", she said, trying not to yell and wake up Bucky's other niece, Violet, who was just two months old. He looked over at Rebecca, who was utterly fed up.
