Thanks for the reviews Angie and bec!!!
"A divorce?" All 8 kids screamed at once. "Yes a divorce." Elizabeth explained to her children. "But mom" Megan began. "No buts Meg, sweetie. Your father used the last straw." "What about us?" Fulton asked. You'll stay with me, but you can see your father on the weekends." "Mom, you can't do this!" Megan screamed in rage, tears of hurt rolling down her cheeks. "The decision has been made Meg my sweet." Elizabeth said in a soft motherly voice. Megan leapt from the couch and stormed to her room tears dripping down her face. Fulton went to the garage and plugged in his guitar and sat there in silence. Alan went to his room and turned on the stereo, lost in thought. Ronnie and Tyler took Jessica's hand and led her to the back yard where she sat on the swing holding her doll. "This is all my fault." Jack said with a sigh. "If I wouldn't have come, then none of this would have happened." "No jack." Elizabeth said, "It's not your fault. Its mine." "I'd better go." Jack said getting up from his chair. "No Jack." Please stay. I can't bear to loose you again." :later on that day, when Elizabeth and Jack were out shopping, Marty came to pick up his things. He first found Fulton tuning his guitar in the garage. "Wanna talk?" He asked his son. "Not really." Mumbled Fulton. "I'm sorry Fult." Marty said. "Well sorry isn't going to change anything now is it?" Fulton yelled standing up and laying his guitar down before walking out the garage and down the sidewalk. Marty picked up the guitar and laid it in its case before going into the house. He walked into what use to be his and Elizabeth's room and started packing his things.

Thanks Wef and HY for the reviews! Love ya girls!! Here's a short one.
Half an hour later, Elizabeth and Jack returned home, loaded with groceries. Elizabeth set her keys down on the table and walked to the bedroom where Marty stood with a pair of pants in his hands packing them into his bag. "Get your stuff and get out." Elizabeth said. "I was just leaving." Marty replied. He stuffed his clothes in his bag and walked out the door. Jessica stood on the stairs leading down the living room. As Marty passed her, he ruffled her hair and reached down to give her a hug. He kissed her forehead and whispered I love you in her ear.

Thanks girls for reviewing! Here's another part!!!
Later that night, the nine children met in Fulton's room. "We have to do something about Mom and Dad." Megan said. "Anyone got any ideas?" Fulton asked. "We could get them to go on some cruise ship where they meet and fall back in love." Jordan dreamily suggested while her brothers and sisters gave her strange looks. "Well, no more romance movies for you Jordan." Alan said with a smirk which Jessica responded to by sticking out her tongue. "Come on guys!" Megan said. "Be serious. Mom and Dad's relationship is at stake not to mention our lives." The kids sat in silence for a moment before Jack spoke up. "Maybe…..just maybe I can talk to Marty. Maybe I can get him to see reason and get him to apologize." "Well," said Fulton, "It's the best we've got." Jack nodded his head. "It's almost 10." Megan said glancing at the clock. "Jess and the twins should have been in bed." Everyone got up and left except for Megan, Fulton, and Jessica. "Jess" Megan questioned, "Are you ok sweetie?" "I'm fine Meggy. My head just hurts." Jessica replied in a small little voice. "Come on," Megan said. "I'll tuck you in." Jessica got up and went down the hall to her room. Megan exchanged a worried glace with Fulton before following her.

Here's more!!!!
"Dino, honey" Mandy said to Dino who was hitting his head on the table, "are you ok?" "God I'm gonna kill Marty." Dino said as he stopped hitting his head and looked at her. Mandy sighed. "There is nothing that we can do about it. We just have to wait and see if everything turns out ok." Kobyn walked through the door and sat down at the table across from Dino. "Dad can I talk to you?" Kobyn asked. "I'll leave you two alone." Mandy said and walked out of the kitchen. "I’m sorry Dad." Kobyn said. "I've been a jerk and I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you" "I'm sorry too Kobyn." Dino said. "I should have spent more time with you. Why don't we go to the White Sox game tomorrow. Just you and me." "Ok Dad." Kobyn said giving him a smile. Kobyn got up and went to his room and turned on the TV. "Well, I'm glad you two worked that out." Mandy said coming back into the kitchen. "You were listening at the door weren't you." Dino said with a grin. "Oh you know it." Mandy replied giving him a kiss on the cheek.

The next Friday morning, Elizabeth rushed the kids off to school telling them she would see them on Monday. With the kids gone, the house was too quiet for comfort, so she put on an old mixed cd while she cleaned. Jacks left after everyone was gone saying he had a job appointment to get to. After the cleaning was done, Elizabeth turned off the cd and settled down with a cup of hot coco, as it was getting close to Christmas, and watched a movie.

Jack had lied to his mother. That was all part of his plan. He headed over to Billy's house where Marty was currently living. Billy answered the door and let him in. When Marty saw him, he looked at him and turned back to the book he was reading. "I'll leave you two alone." Billy said before turning and leaving the room. "Listen Marty," Jack said, "we need to talk." "If it's about your mother." Marty said, "Then there's nothing to talk about." "Yes there is." Jack replied. "You love her and you know it. So she didn't tell you one thing. What if she would have? Would things be any different? Would you have not gotten pissed and stormed off?" "There's nothing left." Marty said. "Don't give me that bullshit." Jack yelled at him causing Marty to drop the book he was holding. "God, your just as hard headed as she is." Jack turned and left the building, slamming the door behind him. Marty moved to grab his book but he hesitated. He grabbed his jacket from off the chair back and went out the door to find Jack. Billy came back into the room with a smile on his face. He picked up the book and put it back one the table. He got out his cell phone and dialed Bobby's number. "Hey Billy." Bobby answered. "Have I got news for you." Billy replied. He told Bobby everything that had happened in the last five minutes. "Well, it's about time one of those kids yelled at him." Bobby said. "Maybe, just maybe things will get knocked back into the way it use to be." Billy said. "Only time will tell." Bobby replied. Billy stayed on the phone with Bobby for a while longer, talking about the band, Marty, Liz, and the kids.

"Jack, Jack wait up." Marty yelled running to catch up with his son. Jack turned around and stopped, waiting for Marty to catch up. "Listen Jack," Marty said, "things may never be the same with me and your mother, but I want to be your father. I want to be there for you." Jack looked at him with tears in his eyes. "Thanks Dad." He said giving Marty a hug. "Now tell me Jack," Marty said, "what brought you here?" Jack paused a while "My adoptive parents both died in a car crash a year ago. My mom kept a journal and in it she wrote all about the adoption. It took me a while, but I found the both of you." "I'm glad you're with us now." Marty said.
