{name:fin#|#picture:2}"Luci, can you try one more time?" Fin questioned gently. "Maybe we can do it together?
Fin was sick with worry about Katie and sick over the loss of the twins. He was never one to admit to anything but being cool and now for the first time in years, he felt way less than cool.

Luci nodded. "Of course. If you get her home, we can do it now."

{name:fIN#|#picture:2}Fin called John's place and asked Katie and the kids to come home.
"Katie, just come home now OK?" Fin's face showed impatience as he continued to speak. "Yes ya can keep the 40 bucks Luci paid you and could you try to be pleasant, little girl. I love ya and need to talk to ya."

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}"You deserve it. You're the one who brought her home." She yelled back into the phone and hung up on him.
Luci touched his shoulder, "You okay babe?"

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"I'm cool", Fin replied to Luci, "but I am damn sick of her sh*t. I'm not going to be punished for bringing you home or falling in love. I ain't gonna be punished cause those babies were murdered. Ya know I hurt, too."
Fin pounded his fist on the wall in frustration. This was getting way out of hand.

{name:Luci#|#picture:43}Fin was always cool, and it worried her. She wrapped her arms around her boyfriend from behind and kissed his neck comfortingly. "I know, babe. But does Katie know?"

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin relaxed into Luci's hug. It felt good after all the chaos lately.
"No." Fin replied slowly and deliberately. "Maybe she needs to hear it loud and clear. I promised myself that I would do better by Katie than I had with Ken. Work wouldn't come first, but now this is going to far. I ain't gonna be blackmailed anymore."

{name:Luci#|#picture:43}Luci reached up and stroked his hair comfortingly. "You know I love her like she's my own kid, but she needs a reality check and to stop blaming you for stuff other people have done. Of stuff you could never do."

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"I know you are right," Fin replied quietly. "I been trying so hard to be here for her. I'm over reachin, I guess. Trying to be everything to her that I wasn't to Ken. I need to set some strong limits here on bad behavior."

{name:Luci#|#picture:43}Luci nodded. "Poor kid's had it hard. But that in no way excuses her behavior. Maybe if we find some sort of punishment that will work with her? My dad used to spank me and wash out my mouth, until I learned my lesson. The soap might work with her, but not the spanking. And with Rosita, grounding's always worked with her, but Katie just goes out anyways."

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"Spanking ain't somethin I'm fond of and Katie is too old. You're right about the groundin, too. Fin said with a sigh. "She needs to know that if she continues to disrupt this family then she will have to do it elsewhere or go into counseling."
Fin reached out to caress Luci's face, then he heard the sound of a key turning in the lock.
"Showtime." He said to Luci grimly.

{name:Luci/Katie#|#picture:43} Luci took his hand in hers and kissed it gently. “We’ll get through this.” She said.
Rosita came wheeling in, a giggling Abby on her lap. “Hey Fin, my railing is shaky. Could you see if you could fix it?” The eleven year olds gaze went around the room, and imitating her mother, “Go to your room, Rosita.” She replied to herself, “Alright Mommy.” She wheeled herself out of the room and into her bedroom.
Katie came storming into the house, John at her heels. “What the f**k did you want?” She snarled. Luci raised an eyebrow and said, “Sit down, Katie. We’ve noticed you’ve been more upset lately and would like to talk to you about it.” Katie rolled her eyes and said, “I’m outta here.”
John grabbed her wrist gently and said in his quiet way, “Sit down, babe. They’re right. You wont talk to me, you wont talk to anyone at school or work. But you need to talk to someone. Maybe if you talk to your dad and Luci, you might start to feel better.” “No.” She turned and made to leave the room.
“If you walk out of this room, your father and I will have no choice but to send you to a consuler or to rehab. You need to get better.”
Katie turned on her heel and walked right up to Luci and said, “Just because you’re nailing my dad and taking over the house, does not mean your mine or Abby’s mother. We did just fine before and once my dad dumps you, we’ll be just fine. I never had a mother and I sure as hell don’t need one now. You think just because you act like my mother and want to reel in my dad that makes you my mother? Think again sweetheart. You won’t last. None of his secret women do.” She turned and went to go up to her room, but John blocked her way. “You’re not going anywhere. You need help, and if I have to guard you day and night from doing something stupid that will hurt not only you, but the ones around you, then so be it. I think they’re right. You need some sort of help. Rehab, or a shrink or both. You’re staying here if I have to sit on you.”
"If you want, I'm here to talk. I know what you're going through and how much it hurts and feels like you'll never get through it. You don't have to keep fighting us. We're here to help you."
"Go off and screw my dad and pretend to be the Mommy I never had and don't need or even want. The only person who wants you here if my dad, and I don't even know why. Probably for sex in the middle of the night and a babysitter for Abby."
