Allie's POV:

I roll over at 10:45 and rub my eyes. The house is beyond quiet and the sun is peeking through my curtains. I get up and open then up but shut them quickly to escape the bright light. I stumbled down to the kitchen to find a note on the refrigerator,

Allie I've got a court hearing today so I left eggs and hotdogs for you in the microwave and juice is in the fridge, I'll be home around 2 but please keep the house clean and don't leave home until I get back.

Love daddy.

Ugghh I was hoping to stop by the boys and blow a joint or two. I washed my face and ate breakfast then settled down in front of the TV to escape the silent zone.

Becky's POV:
After what happened yesterday, Zeek barely speaks, not even a glance I don't receive and I like it, actions do speak louder than words. I help Bianca open her snack and clean up the juice Josh spilt.
"Be careful honey" I hold up the juice box and he snatches it and runs. I sigh and roll my eyes and return to my desk to sort out their coloring books and activities they've done throughout the term. I'm so glad that they're-I'm going on vacation today.

"Umm Becky?" I turned and Zeek is holding the phone indicating I've got a call.
"Thanks" I faked a smile and turn my back answering the caller.
"Hello"
"Hi mom, can you bring home some flip flops for me please?"
"Sure honey, any specific colors?"
"Purple to go back with my two piece"
"Ohhh okay" she says bye and I hang up.

Seems like she's really excited about this evening. I head over to Josh to clean up the juice he's spilling all over himself.
"Uggghhh"

CJ's POV:
After the court hearing with Mr.Jones I'm looking forward to a long hot shower and a long 2 day rest. That case was tiring and mannn does that man get down dirty. I pushed the key into the ignition but it wouldn't start.
"Shit" I mumbled to myself and hit the wheel after several attempts.

"Hey babe are you off from work yet?"
"Yh I'm on my way home why?"
"My car won't start can you pick me up?"
"Sure where are you?"
"The court" I coughed after because I told her I'd be at the office all day. She's be hassling me about taking a break and pushing back hearings because I can barely keep my eyes open during the day.
"Okay" she hangs up and I call a tow.

I sit inside the car waiting for Becky when Mr.Jones knocks on my window.
"Hey" I roll it down half way and he bends over.
"Everything good?"
"Yh my car won't start but my fiancée is on her way" he smiles and nods. He then turns and walks over to his car and speeds off. Becky shows up right after he turned the corner and I get out. The tow comes shortly after and I watch my car get loaded on.
"We'll need your name, address and telephone number sir" I write it down and they said I could come and check on it next week Thursday. I nod and get into Becky's car.
"How was your day?" She asks and I scratch my head.
"It was tiring"
"Hmmm okay" she smiles and pulls into our driveway 30 minutes later.

We head inside and see Allie in a sweat pants and tank top watching 'Garfield' and eating marshmallows.
"Good evening pumpkin"
"Good evening dad" she gets up and hugs me.
