"Lilah, I thought I told you I was busy." The man said
He didn't look up as he spoke.
"Too busy for me?" Bee asked
The man looked up quickly and smiled at Bee.
"Fi. What are you doing here?" The man asked
"I'm babysitting today, remember?" Bee said
She closed the door behind her and made her way over to the man. She sat on his lap and smiled up at him.
"What if the kids walk in?" The man asked
Bee rolled her eyes.
"Relax, they're taking a nap." Bee said
She started kissing his neck.
"They could walk in at any moment." The man said
"I'll take that risk, CJ." Bee said
She pulled him into a kiss.

Later, Lip charged into the bedroom he shared with his brothers and Bee.
"Bee, you're not gonna believe this shit." Lip said
He threw himself next to Bee, who was sitting on Ian's bed. She was smoking a joint and immediately passed it to him, knowing he needed something to ease his mind.
"What?" Bee asked
She looked over, watching him take a hit.
"Ian's fucking Kash." Lip said
"The fuck he is." Bee said
She looked at Lip in disbelief. Lip didn't respond.
"He's married. With kids." Bee said
Bee had half a mind to call the police, when Ian walked into the room.
"He bought them for you, didn't he? Those shoes." Lip said
Ian took off his shoes, and Lip handed Bee the joint back.
"He's married! With kids! What else does he buy you, Ian?!" Bee asked
"Stuff." Ian said, nervously
He glanced up at Lip before putting his shoes neatly next to his bed.
"Now and again." Ian said
"And you're happy with that? What's that make you, huh? A fucking kept boy at best." Lip said
His words triggered an alarm in Ian's head, as Ian quickly stood up, approaching Lip. He pulled Lip off the bed, and the two started pushing and shoving for power. Bee stood up trying to break the fight up, but Ian pushed Lip into a wall.
"Listen to me, stupid! You think you know everything, but you know shit! Ask me what I've got him, huh? Ask me!" Ian said
Lip said nothing.
"CDs, dozens of CDs! Stuff that he's never heard of, stuff I think he might like, 'cause I want him to like the same things that I do. And a couple Sox tickets for his birthday. So what's that make you, Lip, huh? It makes you wrong, you fucking smart asshole!" Ian exclaimed
Bee finally pulled the two apart.
"Now go back to Kash and promise him that you're not gonna tell anybody 'cause he's done nothing to be sorry for, nothing." Ian said
Ian was glaring at Lip, harshly.
"'Fake Muslim cheats on white fundamentalist wife with gutless gay boy.' Says more about White Sox fans than it does for the rest of us." Lip said
Lip knew Ian would attack him, again, so he ran out of the room, leaving Bee with an angry Ian.
"Hey, calm down. Calm down, alright?" Bee said
Ian let out a prolonged, angry breath.
"I'm good." Ian said
Bee nodded slightly and she smacked him lightly on the cheek, before leaving the room, too.

The next morning Steve was making breakfast and everyone, except Liam and Riley, helped set the table.
"The sausage is ready." Lip said
"I haven't had eggs in a while." Debbie said
"Somebody already get the pancakes?" Steve asked
"What's all this?" Fiona asked
She entered the kitchen.
"Debbie's the only person I know wakes up earlier than I do, and I told her I never eat breakfast, but she said it's her favorite meal. And I thought since it's her birthday..." Steve started
Everyone bursted into their own form of complaints.
"Whoa! No, it's not! It's not her birthday." Everyone said
"I never said it was. I said, 'I wished it was'." Debbie defended
"Ah, right, she said she wished it was. Sorry, Deb, I totally misheard that. Perforated eardrum on the right." Steve said
"15 minutes before school, tops. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ian, Lip, dishes soon as you're done. Debbie, Carl..." Fiona trailed off
"Yeah." Carl said
"You've got to take the trash out." Fiona said
The table filled with chatter and laughs, before everyone headed off to do their individual tasks.
