"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!" Charlie slurred and tripped over his two feet, but caught himself before completely collapsing to the ground. "Get me Emily."

"No. You aren't taking her anywhere. And you aren't going anywhere either."

Charlie took a step forward and shoved the green eyed man as he moved to pull out his phone. "I said. Get. Me. My. Daughter."

The vet gritted his teeth. "And I said no. You're drunk and you aren't taking her anywhere. I'm calling you a damn cab." His blood was boiling already and he couldn't hardly see straight. What the hell is he thinking? Even showing up drunk to get his daughter, stupid bastard.

Lucas sauntered towards the front door with the phone by his ear whenever he was tackled to the ground. He instinctually put his hands up to protect him and blocked a punch to the face. "Get the fuck off of me Charlie. I'm not kidding." He was slowly but surely losing his cool but whenever he saw her ex reach for the sky again Lucas punched him in the jaw and shoved him off.

He rolled Charlie on his stomach and brought his arm behind his back and applied pressure. Right at that moment the front door was thrown open and Riley instantly pushed Emily back inside, currently thanking God she was still moping about leaving for the weekend.. "Stay inside Emily. Do not come out until I get you do you understand?"

"Yes ma'am."

Emily sauntered into the living room with a little bit of fear running through her from the intensity of her mother's words. Just like that Riley was back outside and tossing her hands up. "What the shit is going on?" She whisper yelled.

"He's drunk, I went to call a cab he tackled me, tried to punch me and after I punched him to get him off of me, well we ended up here."

The brunette quit listening after she heard 'drunk'. "Let him up."

"Riley?" He questioned, never quite seeing that look dancing in her eyes before. And the fact he didn't know what was going to become of that look scared him.

"Let him up Lucas."

The emerald eyed man dropped his arm and stood up off the grass. Her chocolate orbs watched her ex-husband lift himself off the ground. "Thanks Ril-"She reached out for his shoulders and kneed him in the balls.

"You son of a bitch." Her hand formed into a fist before punching him in the face.

"Sweetheart come here." Lucas yanked her away, but that wouldn't prevent a verbal assault.

Charlie was groaning on the grass, "Is this why Emily never has fun? Is this why, because you're always fucking drunk?! You sit her in front of the TV like a fucking baby sitter you piece of-"

"Riley." Lucas whispered, "Just because Emily is inside doesn't mean she can't hear. Clean it up." Currently she was thanking God that someone was level headed in this situation. Granted, he was accustomed to this, he was used to keeping his right mind in situations like this.

The chef inhaled deeply, "Why on earth would you come and try to pick her up when you're drunk?" Oh if we were alone I'd be cussing up a storm and ensuring you could never have kids again. CASTRATION! "Are you seriously that stupid to risk your daughter's life?"

"I'm fine Riley. Shit." He struggled to get off the ground and after several minutes finally succeeded.

"Yeah, real fine. You've never picked her up drunk before, you know how I feel about drinking around Emily. I don't do it, I don't allow anyone else to do it, so what could have possessed you-"
