Neither man noticed the woman who has been watching them since the boys excitedly jumped out of the car. She took out her phone and dialled angrily.
Woman: Hi babe... I need your help.

The family had their ice-cream and all left with smiles on their faces. They went home to spend time together, swim and just had fun. The boys did their homework because they wanted to relax for the rest of the weekend. On Saturday the group went to the mall and did some shopping and went to have lunch before watching a movie. They enjoyed the rest of their day even going to church on Sunday.
~Monday~
William and Michael were down in the kitchen making breakfast when they heard a knock on the front door.
W: I'll go check who it is.
Mi: Are you expecting anyone?
W: No.

W: Hi good morning. (He smiled opening the door)
Man: Morning.

Mi: Did he say what? (He asks as he followed William to the front door)
W: No.

Man: Are you Michael Sanders?
Mi: Yes and you are?
Man: You've been served. (He said handing Michael a blue paper before walking away)
Mi: What? (He said frozen, looking at the papers)
W: Let me see. (He says taking the papers from Michael) Love, your ex-wife is suing you for custody of Jake.
Mi: What? No, no. She can't take him.
W: She won't, we'll fight this.

Mi: We need to get the boys to school.
W: Why don't you ask for today off? You said that there are two helpers with you this week, so let's call the school and tell them that something came up and you need the day and then we go to my office and deal with this.
Mi: Okay, I'm glad you're here. (He smiled)

W: Okay guys, it's time to go.
C: Who was at the door?
W: It was just a guy, are you guys ready to go?
J: Mm-hm.
Mi: Matty, there is going to be two other ladies teaching you today because your dad and I have a few things to do.
M: Who's going to pick me up?
