Second Oldest ~ Shameless

Aunt Ginger

It was morning and Gwen was sleeping, deeply, against her boyfriend's bare chest, when they were suddenly woken up by Fiona's yelling in the hallway.

"Ten minutes to get downstairs." She called, as Pete and Gwen groaned, and sat up together and started shivering.

"Fuck, it's freezing in here." Gwen muttered, as she a Pete put on some clothes, long sleeved, and Pete headed downstairs as she brushed her hair and went to join him. Before going downstairs, she noticed Carl trying to run past her with the kill bat in his arms, but she managed to snatch it from his arms.

"No, no, no, absolutely not, little man. The bat is for killing not for taking to school. Fiona and I don't need any more notes from your teacher." Gwen told him, before heading downstairs and hung the bat back where it belonged and continued downstairs when she noticed Fiona at the door with Steve, causing Gwen to roll her eyes,

"Go away, Steven." She called to him, before entering the kitchen for some breakfast. Pete had prepared some toast from him and her. They ate one together and kissed at the middle. She noticed Carl melting some action figures with Kev's toaster. She went to snatch them form him when Kev enters,

" Yo, yo, yo, Desturcto, that's my toaster!" He exclaimed as eh lifted Cael from hsi seat, away from his toaster.

"And that's the last time I buy you action figures," Gwen told Carl as she snatched the melted action figures.

"I was trying to make them into Melted Man, make them better." He explained as he took them back and tried to stick them together.

"Yeah, well use a blowtorch like a normal kid." Kev told him.

"Don't even think about it, little man." Gwen warned Carl, pointing at him.

"Hey, Fi, some delivery guy was looking for your address. Here." Kev informed Fiona, handing the bouquet of flower to her.

"They're from him, toss them." She tossed them in the trash.

"No, they're not." Steve said.

"Yes! Four bars. Thank you, Beaver327." Debbie exclaimed, holding up the laptop.

"Back for more abuse." Lip said, looking at Steve as he walked in.

"Yeah, you're like a boomerang, man." Pete teased, leaning against the counter, looking at him.

Steve shook his head. "Yeah, no, I-I lost a bet to Ian on the Islanders game. Need to see what tickets eh wants me to get him." Steve explained.

"Ever heard of phones?" Gwen asked, sarcastically.

"Yeah, well not when I knew Fiona here was dying to see me." Steve responded, looking at her. Gwen rolled her eyes at that.

"Sit." Fiona muttered, trying to turn on the stove, Gwen turned to the corkboard and saw that the gas bill was late. She took it off the board.

"Hey, Fi, the gas bill's late." She informed her, handing it to her.

"Fuck. No wonder it's freezing in here." She said, looking at it.

"'Fiona, thanks for a night I'll never forget. Tony'" Steve read the letter that came with the flowers out loud, getting everyone attention.

"Give me that." Fiona snatched the note from his hand.

"Who the fuck's Tony?" Steve asked.

"You hooked up with Tony?" Pete asked, laughing.

"How charitable of you." Kevin laughed.

"Wait, Tony the cop, that Tony?" Steve asked.

"Yeah." She responded.

"Really?"
