Day 1>> Monday

"Alright... so I'll be gone for a week."

"I know, Gil."

"Okay. Are you SURE you'll be alright?"

"Gil... I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself."

"Ah. I think the REAL question is... can you take care of your two monsters?"

"They're half yours too!" Gil snorted and stood in the doorway. Mary and Kathy ran from downstairs and almost knocked him over with their hugs.

"You two listen to your Mother while I'm gone, okay?"

"Yes, Daddy." Kathy said sweetly. He smiled and kissed her on the cheek. Once she got her kiss, she ran in the back to play with her toys. Mary hugged his legs and started crying.

"Why do you have to leave, Daddy?" Gil looked up at Catherine with sadness in his eyes. Catherine bent down and hugged Mary.

"Sweetie, Daddy won't be gone for long, okay?"

"But why does he have to go!"

"I have to go so I can make money to buy you and your sister toys. Okay?" Gil kissed her on the cheek and watched as she dragged her feet. Catherine stood up and looked at Gil.

"She'll be okay. Don't worry."

"I HATE leaving you guys. Ecklie knows that. Why would he give me these assignments?"

"Cause Ecklie's an ass." Jr. came crawling in the living room and sat up. Gil walked past Catherine and picked up their son.

"Buddy! I'm going to miss you so much!" Catherine smiled and walked over to Gil and Jr. He wrapped an arm around Catherine and held Jr. in the other. She laid her head on his chest and watched as Jr. held on to Gil for dear life. "You guys are making it harder."

"We're sorry." Catherine laughed and put Jr. down after Gil kissed his cheek.

"Where's Lindsey?"

"Right here." Lindsey appeared in living room and slowly walked over to Gil. She threw her arms around her neck and sighed. "Jeeze. I'm going to miss you. So much."

"I know, Linds. But it won't be for long. I promise."

"Love you."

"Love you too, Linds." Lindsey smiled and ran in the back to play with her sisters. Once they were out of sight, he looked down at Catherine. He slowly wrapped his arms around her and frowned. "I love you."

"I love you, too." They stood there in each other's arms and didn't notice their children standing in the hallway; watching them. They pulled apart and kissed. Kathy and Mary tried to keep in their giggles. Lindsey covered both of their mouths with her hands and dragged them in the back. Jr. followed them, spitting up on the carpet as he went.

Once Gil finally left, Catherine sighed and walked back in the house. 'It's too quiet.' She walked in the backroom where the kids would play to find Lindsey was tied up in a small chair with duck tape across her mouth.

"Lindsey!" Catherine ran over and un-tied her. "Okay... should I... err... rip the tape?"

"MMMM!"

"Rip it?"

"NUUUHH!"

"Okay. Relax. I'm going to slowly pull it off. Okay?" Lindsey nodded her head. She looked behind her Mom and her eyes grew wide.

"HMM! HMMMM!" Catherine looked back and was knocked down by the water that was coming out of Mary's Super Soaker XL. Mary threw up her arms and squirted the water gun at the ceiling.

"YES! Target... down! Agent Scully! In action!" Kathy came running in the room with pie pans full of mud. She walked over to Lindsey and smashed her face into one. "AHH! It's a zombie!"

"Girls! Stop t-" Mary took the last mud pie and threw it at her mother. The pan fell off her face and mud fell onto their white carpet. "MARY AND KATHY GRISSOM!"

"Muaha... Hahaha!" Mary ran out of the room and dragged her sister along with her. Lindsey started shaking and pulling her arms. She hated mud. She hated being dirty. And at the moment, she hated her little sisters.

"Lindsey... hang on, sweetie. I'm coming." Catherine took one of the teddy bears in their toy box and wiped the mud out of her eyes. She untied Lindsey and slowly removed the tape from her mouth.

"I'm gonna KILL those little terds."

"No you won't. Not if I get to them first!" Catherine ran out of the room to find the house empty. She ran upstairs and heard giggling coming from the bathroom. She opened the door to find her two youngest daughters filling Gil's condoms with shaving cream. Jr. sat on the floor and was putting them in his mouth. Lindsey ran in next to Catherine and laughed.

"Oh Mom... this is classic." Mary took one of the finished ones and threw it at Lindsey. It popped and shaving cream got everywhere.

"That's IT!" Catherine stomped her feet and ran for Kathy and Mary. They grabbed the stuff and ran out of the bathroom before Catherine could catch them.

Gil took out his cell phone to see what time it was. He was finally in Houston and he already wanted to go back home. He flipped his phone open and smiled at the picture that greeted him. It was a picture of the whole family sitting on the couch. He sighed and a feeling of guilt washed over him. He felt that something bad was happening back home.

Catherine sighed and looked around the bathroom. It was a mess. She turned to Lindsey and helped her get the shaving cream out of her eyes.

"I want you to go down there and make sure they don't destroy the rest of the house."

"And what are you going to do? Sit here and relax while they put me on my death bed?"

"Just... put on The X-Files or something."

"The X-Files?"

"Yeah. They love Gillian Anderson. Now GO!" Lindsey stumbled out of the bathroom and walked downstairs to see her sisters lying in front of the TV, watching the X-Files season their parents had bought them for Christmas. She slowly walked back upstairs to help her mother clean up the bathroom. "Come on, Jr!" Catherine sighed and threw her head back. 'Please let me have ONE good kid today!'

"Bubbblessssssss."

"Yes. Bubbles. Now get in the tub so I can get all the shaving cream off of you!"

"BUBBBBLESSS." Catherine sighed and blew her bangs out of her eyes.

"You are JUST like your father when it comes to baths."

"Mom?"

"Linds... I thought you were downstairs."

"Well they already had the DVD on so... I figured I'd come help you clean."

"Oh. Well... thanks. I've got everything cleaned up. I'm just trying to get this brother of yours to take a bath."

Kathy and Mary stood outside on the sidewalk. Mary covered her eyes from the sun and strained to see down their street. She saw a car coming and pointed to the street.

"AIM!" Kathy aimed and got ready to throw it at the car. When the car came closer, Mary pointed to the car and screamed. "FIRE!" Kathy threw it and watched as it splat on the back of the car. They laughed and fell to the ground. Catherine and Lindsey walked down stairs with a clean Jr. in their arms to find the living room empty.

"Lindseyyyyyy. Where ARE they?"

"I don't know! They were just watching TV a few minutes ago!" Catherine heard giggles coming from outside the house and ran to the door.

"Where do they LEARN this from?"

"I don't know!"

"No more Viva La Bam for you." Kathy turned around and dropped what she was holding.

"AHH! Adult alert!" They ran to the backyard and climbed up the tree that was above the pool. Catherine sighed and walked around the tree; trying to get them down.

"If you two... don't get down here in the next 5 seconds I'll-"

"You'll what, Mommy?"

"I'll make sure you never watch another X-Files episode as long as you LIVE!" Mary pushed Kathy out of the tree and into the pool. She jumped after and they both swam to the edge of the pool.
