Rent Uncollected

Baze stood outside of Cates house waiting for Lux and Harry to come out to take them to school.

Baze smiles when he saw both his kids walking and talking.

"Coffee, two sugars, hot chocolate extra whipped cream." Baze hands the two cups to his kids.

"Two blueberry waffles." Harry hands him his waffles.

"Good morning Portland! If you missed yesterday's talk, Cate released some very big news! Cate is a lot of things, some may call her emotionally crippled, commitment-phobic but their are two lucky people out there that calls her-now, wait for it-mom. That is right people! Cate Cassidy has got twins!"

"Thanks Ryan."

"You ever think you guys will start calling me dad?"

Harry and Lux makes a face.

"Yeah, you're right! Dads are more strict, have more hair." Baze starts driving.

"Thank you Portland. The lines been blowing up. I have been emailed about ideas, thoughts, advice. Encouragement. You can't even believe."

Meanwhile Baze parks his car in front of Lux and Harry's school dropping them off.

The two noticed Tasha trying to get through some kids who are up to no good.

"Hey, are you alright?" Baze asked.

"Yes." Tasha said.

"Who are they?"

"Just some punks who just got out of Juvy."

"Natasha, Baze, Baze, Natasha." Harry introduced them.

"Cute." Tasha said.

"Tasha likes older guys."

"Older not ancient. He's like thirty years old."

"Thanks. Do you guys need me to walk you in?"

"No we got it."

"Relax 'dad." Harry joked before the bell rung and starts walking away.

"How hard is it to take care of kids? Every dummy is doing it."

"We got Abby on the line. Abby, long time no talk. It's Crazy Abby everyone. Where have you been?"

"Out of town too long apparently. Cate, you must be the most narcissistic, shelf involved, selfish person I know. I go on a retreat only to come back to find out that your kids just reappear out of nowhere. Have you told mom yet?"

"So nice to hear from you Abby." Cate says.

"What judge in their right mind is going to give you custody of any children?"

"It's actually joint custody."

"Wait, Dooey Johnson?"

Cate looks at Ryan and shakes her head telling him to keep quiet.

"Who?"

"Dooey Johnson? The wasps."

"What wasps?"

"No one. It was this really rich guy."

"No our school mascot, aka the father of your kids. How do you not know this?" Abby said through the line.

"Well if Dooey Johnson was really Nate Bazile I don't."

"Wait Quarterback Nate Bazile? Cate I loved Nate Bazile! You had sex with Nate Bazile? you have twins with Nate Bazile?"

Cate cuts the line before looking at her fiancé.

"What are you doing?"

"Me? What are you doing? Why don't you ask Abby she's the therapist. No matter how many times I say that it doesn't get any less terrifying."
