Chapter 7|| A Two For One Special At Babies'R'Us

   I woke up, taking a shower quickly and rushed to throw everything of mine together. I was the only one upstairs, assuming everyone was already having breakfast. I lied, it seems Sean is here, in a rush to get ready like the rest of us. He gives a small wave, rushing down stairs. I don't really know Sean, all I know is that Fiona really likes him, and he's her boss. Cause that worked well the last time.

"Hell, again, Lil?" I shook my head to the side with a shrug.

"What can I say, it's what I live for?"

   I make my way downstairs, stepping to the side to drop my bag by the door. Nick looks over at me, of course naturally this draws my attention and I look at him too, before noticing the rest of the household.

"Hey.. Where'd all the food come from, I thought it was my turn to buy the.." I looked over at Fiona, knowing she was tight on money after paying the phone bills. She makes a face, looking over at Carl. Him looking up as I try not to look so concerned.

"It's not drug money. I learned my lesson." I flatten my lips at this, knowing that was exactly the problem. I continue to stare at Carl, the worried look increasing as he subtly keeps his eyes on his food.

"You better watch out, if Fiona doesn't like what you do, she might try and fire you from the family. And don't even get me started on Lillian." I pull my gaze away from Carl, shooting Ian an annoyed look.

"Yeah, or try to force you to get an abortion." Fiona and I share a look, Sean finally making his way down the stairs. Her attention turns to him as I turn mine to Deb.

"You want me to actually use force? Oh, 'cause I can. Just say the word, c'mon.. I'll show you what force looks like." I crack my knuckles at Debbie threateningly as I pass by her, Sean speaking over me.

"Smells god. Bacon?" I roll my eyes, Debbie sending me a dirty look.

"Yeah, at least I won the last fight I got into, looks like you got your ass kicked." I shake my head, annoyed with her constant fucking attitude, making my way for the door frame that led to the living room. I laughed to myself incredulously at her comment.

"If only you fuckin' knew." I mumble, fingers feeling around clumsily.

"Fruit loops." Liam answers Sean's stupid question.

"You coming to work?" Sean turns to Fiona as I search the top of the door frame, feeling around for a moment.

"Yeah, I just gotta get dressed and talk to Debs." I pulled my hand back, putting the small joint I now had in my hand and moved it to the other, as I made my way back in the kitchen.

"About what?" Debbie snaps. I look up wide eyed, pulling the blunt from my mouth quickly.

"How 'bout your damn attitude. That's what!" I retort back harshly. Debbie shoots me a look, Fiona sighing heavily as Carl and Nick watch the scene in divertissement.

"There it is..!" I throw a hand at Ian, silencing him as I search in the draw for a fucking lighter.

"I wanna apologize, okay?" I close the draw harshly, opening another one.

"I'm gonna go." Sean interjects to Fiona.

"I'll meet you there." They kiss, as I start getting pissed, not being able to find a damn lighter.

"So you get to be late 'cause you're fucking the boss, right?" I give Ian a pointed look, shutting that draw even more aggressively. Debbie ringing out amusingly at Ian's remark.

"Okay, smartass. At least she's going and getting the job done." Ian nods his head incredulously, throwing his bag over his shoulder as he walks closer to us.
