“I hate you, you bastard.” Kobyn yelled at his father, as he ran down the stairs. Dino Kourelis ran his fingers through his hair as his eldest son ran out of the room. His wife Miranda came up to him and put her arms around him. “Don’t worry honey.” She said “He’ll come back.” “I know Mandy. He always does. I think I’m going to call Marty and let him know Kobyn will probably show up there in 20 minutes. Liz will know what to do.” Miranda went back to bed while Dino went to go call the Casey household. Dino was the bass player for the band Lovehammers. Marty Casey sang, Billy Sawilchik played guitar, and Dino’s brother Bobby was the drummer. “Hello?” came a groggy voice from the other end of the phone. The boys had just got home last night from the end of their spring tour, and knowing Marty’s wife Elizabeth, she had kept the lead singer up all night trying to catch him up on their kids' lives. “Marty, man sorry to wake you up” Dino said “but Kobyn just stormed out of the house. I think he’s on his way over there.” “Thanks for the warning.” Marty replied. “I’ll let Liz know. She knows how to talk to him.” “What am I doing wrong with him?” Dino asked. “It’s not your fault Dino.” Marty told him. “It’s just hard on him. You know how tough it is for him to have to take care of everything while your away. Plus he wants to know about his mother. He needs to know her.” “What about Mandy?” Dino asked. “Mandy’s always been there for him.” “You and I both know it’s not the same.” Marty told him. Joan French had been Dino’s first love. She had died giving birth to Kobyn. “I know. Well, I’m going to let you get some sleep.” Dino told Marty. “Talk to you later.” Marty hung up the phone and laid back down next to his wife Elizabeth. Marty rolled over and curled his fingers in her long dark red hair. Marty scooted closer to her and gently kissed her behind the ear. Elizabeth’s green eyes popped open. “Is it morning already?” Elizabeth murmured as she snuggled up closer to Marty. “I wish it wasn’t but Dino just called and said Kobyn stormed out of the house again.” Marty told her as he wrapped her in his embrace. “He’ll be here in 10 minutes.” Elizabeth said as she sat up. Elizabeth got out of bed and Marty moved to follow her. “No you don’t.” Elizabeth told him as she pushed him back down on the bed. “You need your rest.” Marty knew better than to argue with his wife so he let sleep overcome him. Liz planted a kiss on his cheek and went to go take a quick shower. After she was finished, she took a peek into each of her kids' rooms to make sure they were all still asleep. Elizabeth glanced at the clock and headed for the door.

Thanks for reviewing Z and My Kes!!! Here's more!!!
She opened it and there sat Kobyn with his knees up to his face. “Come on Kobyn.” Elizabeth said softly. “Get in here before you catch your death.” Elizabeth led Kobyn inside and into the kitchen. “Tea or coco?” Elizabeth asked as she reached into the cabinet and pulled down two mugs. “Coco please.” Kobyn told her. Elizabeth made the drinks and sat down at the table where she handed Kobyn his. “Not tell me what this is all about.” Elizabeth said. “It's him.” Kobyn replied. “He’s never home and when he is he thinks everything is just perfect, but it’s not. Nothing is right. I can’t concentrate in school, at home everyone ignores me, and Michael and Michelle (Mandy’s two kids who are 18) don’t care weather I live or not. Home just doesn’t seem like home. “Oh Kobyn honey. I know it’s hard,” Elizabeth said. “It’s hard on everyone. I know. I go through tough situations every day but we’ll get through it.” Tears filled the 14 year olds eyes. “I’m scared Liz.” Kobyn said. Elizabeth took Kobyn in her arms and rocked him back and forth like a baby. “Why don’t you go to sleep on the couch?” Elizabeth suggested. Kobyn wiped his eyes and nodded his head. He fell asleep on the couch while Elizabeth headed back to bed. She changed back into her pajamas and climbed back into bed next to her husband. Marty rolled over and snuggled up against her.

Awwwww thanks wildroses! That really made my day!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's more!
“Mommy wake up!” five year old Jessica yelled as she tried to shake her mother awake. “Mommy! Please wake up! Tyler and Ron are torturing Rosie!” Little Jessica cried as she climbed onto the bed. “Tell your father.” Elizabeth said as she rolled over. “Daddy” Jessica said as she sat on Marty’s stomach. “Daddy please!” “All right baby girl.” Marty said as he picked up his small daughter and the two walked into her room. “Tyler David Casey, Ronnie Julius Casey, you give that doll back to your sister right now!” Marty yelled at the 8 year old twins. “But dad” blue eyed Ronnie began “Rosie wanted us to give her a makeover.” green eyed Tyler finished. “Give your sister back her doll right now and say you're sorry.” “But” the two began. “No buts. Do it now.” Marty told them. The twins handed the doll back to their sister and ran off to cause some other mischief. Marty walked back to his bedroom while Jessica went right on playing with her dolls. “Lizzy wake up.” Marty whispered into Elizabeth’s ear. Elizabeth swatted him away with her hand. “Get out of the bathroom Megan!” A voice yelled. “Whats a matter?” Liz asked as she woke up from her slumber. “I’ll take care of it.” Marty said as he slid back out of bed. He walked toward the bathroom the oldest kids shared. There stood 16 year old Fulton, banging on the bathroom door, his blond hair falling into his eyes. “Damit Megan open the f**kin door!” Fulton yelled. “What’s going on?” Marty asked as he placed a hand on his son’s shoulder. “Megan has been in the damn bathroom for a freaking hour.” Fulton yelled throwing up his hands. “Why don’t you just go use Tyler and Ron’s bathroom?” Marty said. “Ok dad.” Fulton said as he walked past his father. “Megan hurry up.” Marty yelled as he banged a few times on the door. “Other people have to take a shower too.” Marty walked into the kitchen where Kobyn sat drinking a glass of orange juice.

Ok, last one till the strike in the Asylum is over with.
“Morning Kobyn” Marty said. “Morning uncle Marty.” Kobyn replied with a wave. “Want a doughnut?” Marty asked as he reached into the cupboard and pulled down a bog of the frosted goodness. “Yeah” Kobyn replied as he took a few out from the bag. “Thanks.” Elizabeth then came in and put her arms around her husband. “What was all the commotion about this morning?” she asked. “Just the usual argument between Fulton and Megan.” Marty replied as he picked up his wife and sat her on the counter top. “Where are Ron and Tyler?” Elizabeth asked. “I’ll go find them.” Kobyn volunteered. “Thanks sweetie.” Elizabeth told him. Elizabeth hopped off the cabinet and got a bagel out from a bag and spread cream cheese over it. “After the kids are gone, what do you say you and me go take a long shower?” Marty asked with a sly smile. “Can’t” Elizabeth said as she bit into her bagel. “I’ve go to get to the club this morning its up to you to get that bunch off to school.” The smile from Marty’s face faded. “Mom I can’t find my math homework.” 11 year old Jordan said as she ran into the room pulling her long red hair into a ponytail. “Top of the TV.” Elizabeth replied with a laugh. “Is Alan up yet?” Elizabeth asked as she glanced at the clock. “I’ll go check.” Marty said as he untangled himself from his wife’s arms.

Thanks hammeredyoung and lhrocks34 for the reviews!!! *hugs*
Now that the girls have called off the stike, I'm back and ready to post!!! *happy dance*
“Alan get your butt out of bed.” Marty yelled as he walked into his 12 year old son’s room. “Yeah dad.” Alan said lifting his head from his pillow. “No Alan. Now.” Marty said as he walked out of the room. He walked back into the kitchen only to discover his wife not where he left her. He walked back into their bedroom and found her changing. Marty laid down on the bed and watched his wife. “Martin Casey what are you looking at?” Elizabeth said as she pulled a shirt and walked over to the bed. “Only my beautiful wife.” Marty said as he pulled her into his lap, his blue eyes sparkling. “I would love to stay” Elizabeth said giving Marty a kiss, “But I gotta get to work and you have to get those hooligans to school.” Marty let go of her as she pulled some flip flops from out of the closet. “You have 5 minutes.” Elizabeth yelled down the hall at her kids. “I’ll be back this afternoon.” Liz said as she gave her husband one last kiss before heading for the door. The kids rushed down the stairs still pulling on clothes trying to collect their homework along the way. “Bye kids” Marty said as he held open the door for the children. “Bye dad.” The kids yelled as they made their way to school. Marty closed the door and sat down on the couch and turned the TV on.

Well, since I'm in a good mood....hee hee.
At 1:00 the phone rang. Marty rolled off the couch to answer it. “Hello.” He said. “This is the Apple View high school principle, is Mr. or Mrs. Casey there?” the principle asked. “This is Mr. Casey. What did the kids do now?” “Mr. Kobyn Kourelis got into a fight and he asked if we could call you rather than his father. He’ll be in detention for the next week, and he’ll be suspended for three days starting tomorrow.” the principle said. “Thanks for letting me know.” Marty said. He hung up the phone just as Elizabeth walked into the house. “Hey babe.” She said as she hung up her coat and put her keys down. “Kobyn got into a fight at school.” Marty told her as he grabbed the Taco Bell bags she was carrying. “He’ll be suspended for three days and then he’ll have detention all next week.” Elizabeth shook her head and sighed. “He needs to get a hold of his temper.” Elizabeth told him. The two ate their Taco Bell talking about this and that. At 3:00 Megan and Fulton came home, arguing as usual, followed by Alan, Jordan, Ron, Tyler, and finally Jessica. Alan and Jordan took Jessica over to the neighbors while they headed for the mall. Fulton got his guitar ready so his band, Heartfull Hatred, could practice in the garage. Megan had a date that night with Gerry Conway, the captain of the football team, so she was up in her room getting ready. Ron and Tyler went down the street to their friend Matt Kourelis, Bobby Kourelis, Dino’s older brother, son’s house to cause mischief more than likely. Marty was sitting on the window with his Gipson Guitar working on his new song while Elizabeth was in the kitchen making chocolate chip cookies for the boys. “How do you think this sounds Liz?” Marty asked as he played the song. “Wonderful honey.” Liz said as she put the cookies in the oven. “Were you even listening honey?” Marty asked. “Of course dear.” Elizabeth replied. “Honey, I’m going out with one of my fan girls and we have three kids.” Marty said as he put down his guitar. “That’s nice dear.” Elizabeth said not paying attention. “Wait a second. What?” Elizabeth said turning around. Marty just laughed and went over to kiss his wife. “Mmmm I smell cookies.” A boy with brown eyes and black hair said as he walked into the room sticking his drum sticks into his back pocket. “Hello Randy.” Elizabeth said turning around to give the 15 year old a smile. “How’s your momma?” “Working as usual.” Randy said as he dropped his bag down on the counter. “Fulton’s already in the garage if you want to head out there.” Liz told Randy. Randy headed off to the garage while Elizabeth went to go fold clothes and Marty went out to the garage.
