WHO: Luci, Fin, and their children. Friends, and co-workers welcome!
WHAT: Luci and Fin move in together into a new house, with the help of the kids and friends and co-workers. Katie talks to Jean about the twins, and possibly her drinking. There's a BBQ in which the guys try to be manly and cook on the grill and fail miserably.
WHEN: August 2008
WHERE: The Tutuola-Rothberg House
NOTE: The house is white with blue shutters, and has a huge basement, five bedrooms, one for guests, two bathrooms, one private one in Fin and Luci's room. There's also a large attic and backyard, with a wading pool because Abby is too little to be around a normal pool, and Rosita is in a wheelchair and uses special crutches at time. I know that sounds odd, but I have a neighbor who does the same.

{name:Luci/Katie#|#picture:43}"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"I'll be super-good. I don't want everyone to see me in my chair when they first meet me. You say first impressions are important, remember?"
Luci looked over her shoulder at her daughter and relented. "Fine. You can use the crutches, but you must swear on Hannah Montana that if you get tired or feel sick, you'll tell me and let us put you in the chair, deal?"
"Yes!" Her daughter said, pumping her fist in the air.
Meanwhile, Katie was slumped in her seat, scowling. She had been her usual ornery self. But Luci liked her.
Fin pulled up to the curb and the moving truck moved up behind them. Luci leaned in and kissed him on the cheek and went to the sliding door of the minivan and opened it. Katie unbuckled Abby from her carseat, while Luci went around to the trunk and grabbed Rosita's supplies. She dug through the large bag and found her leg braces and took them out with the crutches and opened the door on her daughter's side. She gently put on the braces and lifted her out and leaned her against the car and handed her the crutches and Rosita went flying towards the house. She grinned at Fin and wrapped her arms around him. "Happy?" she asked.

{name:Augusta#|#picture:8}Augusta pulled up in her SUV a few minutes after Fin did. She pulled up behind him and parked. " Hey you love birds, theres kids around!" She called teasingly to the hugging couple. She went around to the side and opened the door, letting out a bouncing Sammi and Zoe.
She looked over her shoulder as she unhooked the twins' car seats. " Elliot will be over shortly with the hamburger buns and hotdog buns. I know we only live a few streets over, but i didnt see lugging the kids."
She set the twins' car seats/baby carriers on the ground, closed the door, picked the carriers back up, and joined Fin and Luci. She smiled. " Augusta's moving and barbeque crew at your service."

{name:Luci#|#picture:43}Luci chuckled and said, "Thanks for coming, Augusta. We really appreciate it."
Meanwhile, Sammi was following Katie around the house, her eyes wide.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin actually smiled at Augusta, as he tightened his grip on Luci.
"I'm happier than I thought I could ever be." Fin whispered in her ear. I think we better get moving with this move, or we will be living out of the back of the moving van."

{name:Luci#|#picture:43}Luci tossed her head back as she laughed, causing her long hair to ripple down her back. She was perfectly content to stay here in his arms but he had a point. She stood on her toes and kissed him. She pulled away regretfully and walked over to the movers. She grabbed a box marked Rosita and carried it inside, putting it inside the bedroom on the ground floor.

{name:Olivia#|#picture:37}Livia had heard at the Squadroom that they were going to be having a little "get-together" for Fin and Luci, the new ADA. She had decided to come because, really, she didn't have anything better to do on a Saturday afternoon, and she was bored. But she loved to hang out with her friends from the Squad.
Livia glanced at the small map in her lap and looked up at the white house in front of her. She stared at it blankly for a moment before moving her small beemer into the driveway. She got out, and recognizing Luci, Fin and Aggie she walked over grinning brightly.

{name:Luci#|#picture:43}Luci had opened the window in her daughter's room, because the whole hot was hot, due to being shut up in the heat, and if she remembered correctly, no electricity until tomorrow. So, she had brought a cooler along in the car so they could keep everything cool until it was time to fire up the grill. She saw Olivia as she looked at the window. She went outside and smiled at Olivia. "Hey, Olivia. Hey babe, you want to start cooking so by the time you give in and let me cook, it isn't getting dark?"

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin helped the movers get their bedroom set up the stairs. Reaching the top of the stairs, all 3 men were huffing and puffing. Who knew solid oak would be that heavy. Thank God it was their third and last trip for the master bedroom. The movers went back down to the truck to get another bedroom set loaded on the dolly.
Fin sat down on the top step and wiped his brow.
2 Men and a Truck was a great franchise, Fin thought, but at this point he thought he and Luci needed 3 men and a tank.
Fin leaned over the railing and shouted down to the gang unpacking things in the kitchen.
"First person to bring me a beer gets an hour off." He said with exhaustion.

{name:Luci#|#picture:43}Luci grabbed a beer and called outside to Katie, who was keeping an eye on all the kids. "Kate, could you run something up to your Dad, please?" Katie gave her a dirty look and flipped her a finger and hid a brown bottle behind her back, but Luci saw it, frowning. She took the cold beer up herself and went up the stairs and holding the bottle behind her and leaned in and kissed him. She handed him the beer as she pulled away from the kiss, smiling. She was so happy, but worried.
"Can I talk to you about Kate?"

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"Sure, Babe." Fin replied quickly. "First we better get off the stairs. Here come the mover's with Katie's bedroom set."
Fin guided Luci to the left of the steps and leaned in to hear her what she had to say.

{name:Luci#|#picture:43}"You told me that she had problems with dealing with stuff. That because of what happened to her, she had trouble talking about stuff that was bothering her. Instead of talking, she'd cut herself, and drugging and drinking, and that she was on a sort of probation with them, and going to support groups. I saw her out on the lawn, watching the kids and drinking a beer. Have you thought of getting her in a good rehab?"

{name:Augusta#|#picture:8}Augusta was helping Luci with the kitchen. Every so many trips between boxes and cabinets she would stop at the table where the twins laid in their carriers sleeping. She couldnt help stopping and looking at the twins, they were so beautiful and angelic.

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean pulled up outside, with Elliot right behind her. She got out, and grinned, looking at the house and nodded. Sure, Fin was a grown man, didn't need approval, but he had it. She moved inside cautiously, and spotted Katie through a window in the back of the house, she figured her best bet was to head out there.
"Hey Kate, her beautiful!" She said, swooping to give Abby a kiss on the top of her haid with a smile.
"How you doing?" She asked, knowing from things she'd heard from Fin, and occaisionly Katie herself, that moving day wasn't something she was looking forward too.

{name:Elliot#|#picture:10}Elliot pulled up just after Jean, and grabbed his packages of hotdog buns and various other BBQ treats, before moving inside with the movers, and spotting Aggie in the kitchen, seeting up a few light things. He gave both the twins a kiss, as well as Augusta, and leant back against the counter, depositing his packages.
"I got held up by some slow-mo in one of those eco crs. Who thinks that one of those is a good idea in Saturday traffic?" He said, with a light grin.
"Need any help? As long as I'm not using any gas related items I'm good." He added,, grinning as he thought of his and Fin's attempt at cooking later on today. That was going to provide everyone with endless entertainment!
