Deployment again? I look to my right. All 4 boys are laying on there stomachs listening in. I shot Daniel a "what the f are we gonna do look". Last time dad was deployed mom went off the deep end for a while and was depressed. So Aiden moved to a local community college and moved back home. He is attending the university here in town but he still wants to be sure mom and dad are ok.
"What are we gonna do." Aiden mutters under his breath.
"Same thing we've done ever other time he's left." James muttered. We all look at him James was the middle kid and he almost never talked.
"I'm not hiding in my room while dad's gone. Mom will most likely be doing that until he comes home." Quinn stated with a "Matter of fact" voice. Daniel was silent. I nudged my brother with my arm.
"I'm tired of this......" He almost whispers.
"Tired of what?" Aiden asked
"All the deployment and moms depressed Dad's gone My baby sister growing up, Me having to eventually tell dad I'm going into the marines" Daniel finished looking down at the carpet. He's only 19.
"I'm sorry you feel that way Danny" My dad said at the bottom of the stairs scaring all of us. Daniel very slowly stood up and walked down to my dad.
"Let's go for a walk kid." dad dropped his large shoulder over Daniels and they walked out.

"I'm gonna kick you ass in COD James" Quinn challenged.
"Not if I do first" Aiden challenged both.
"Bitch please I gots this." I said smugly. We where all down in the basement waiting for Dad and Daniel to get back.Yeah i know what your thinking. There dad might be deploying and Him and her brother when on a walk 2 hours ago and still aren't back shouldn't you be worried. But to be honest the deployment hasn't happened yet so I can't be worried and Daniel and Dad are men and can take care of them self.
I won them in COD correction I SMOKED them in COD.
"Cheat" James yelled
"No you just can't take the fact you lost to a girl" I stick my tongue out at him. Next thing I knew James sat on me and soon so did Aiden and Quinn.
"Cant. Breathe" I gasped
"Sounds like a personal problem" Quinn remarked back. We all laughed and next thing we knew. BOOM! With 3 solid thuds the boys landed on the floor and Dad picked me up.
I grinned sheepishly and looked at him. He smiled the. Looked at the boys. The next 3 words that came out of his mouth where the worst I've heard in a while.
"It's prank week"
