Chapter 12 - Gen 13 - Zac

"I could slap his mouth sometimes, he says the most awful things."

"That's because he is innapropriate"

"Why drag Marley into the argument??"

"Yeah but he does have a point she has been neglecting him lately"
"Actually she is not the only one, he doesn't have room to talk and Still its no excuse for why he kissed Moms ghost is it!!"

"Poor Marley had his birthday all alone in among all the screaming and shouting"

"Not quite, I was there you know!!"

"He really does look like your Dad doesn't he!"

"Your Dad is all washed up and now he is trying to reason with Melodie"

"Well that does not sound like reasoning to me - I am sick of all this screaming and shouting."

"In fact, I am not having it anymore!!"

"What are you going to do - don't you get joining in"

"I am not I am going to try and sort this mess out, poor Marley is getting very upset."

"Wow - she looks mean!!"

"I am trying to calm her down but she is having none of it!!"

"Maybe you should just leave them too it you don't want to get dragged into the arguing."

"I can't its my Dad and shes my best friend remember."

"No she used to be your best friend, she is now your step mother - surely Cherry should be your best friend now, not Melodie."

"Marley asked Melodie for a bedtime story, it might be a good thing for Melodie and Dad to get some space from each other, I really am not sure how I am going to fix this mess."

"It is not your mess to fix, their relationship is something only they can sort out."

"What is going on now - they can hear you shouting all down the street!!"

"Its Dad, he really goes too far sometimes, it is no wander Melodie is always shouting at him."

"Why what has he done?"

"Its not what he has done it is what he has said to me and about Marley"

"I warned you not to get dragged into it didn't I Zac!!"
"I know, but I didn't expect Dad to start mocking me and Marley."

"So now you two are arguing which has just made matters worse!"
"Oh I give up, maybe you was right, I think I am just going to leave them to it!!"

"Do you feel better after that little freak out you just had?"

"No, not really!!"

"I can not even eat in peace!!  Melodie hasn't left it long before she is back and laying into Dad"

"Just walk away Zac, its the only thing you can do."

"Zac what on earth do you think you are doing??!!"

"Don't blame me, Melodie called me and when I got close she wacked me out of the blue"

"So you think its a good idea you pair acting like giggling kids and having a pillow fight with everything that is going on at the moment."
"It is just a pillow fight - chill out - you  have watched us having loads of pillow fights together, why should this one be any different!!"

"I do feel sorry for Melodie sometimes, when I can see how upset she is"

"Well don't get feeling too sorry for her Zac, I don't want you doing anything stupid and messing your own marriage up!!"

"Are you mad!!!  I am not that stupid!!"

"I see your Dad has blown up the chemistry table again."

"He has got a nerve - he just asked me what was going on between Melodie and me, he has accused us of carrying on with each other!!"

"Well I did say it was not a good idea that pillow fight of yours."
"You know as well as anyone I am faithful to Cherry. he needs to stop trying to blame everyone else for what he has done and take a good look at himself!!"

"Oh no, she is off again!!"

"Well to be honest, this time I don't blame her!!

"Your getting yourself reeled into this Zac, I can see trouble coming!!"

"Your over reacting!!"

"We'll see!!"

"So what are you two whispering about?"

"None of your business!!"

"Another baby by any chance?"

"How on earth did you know?"

"Don't forget I can see your wishes and you have suddenly decided you want another child"

"Well maybe you should go bug someone else for the rest of the night because we need some space, we have a baby to try for."

"Fine by me, your Dad and Melodie are pretty entertaining at the moment."

"I am beginning to feel sorry for your Dad, he is really trying and Melodie is not interested."

"Surely she should be over this by now!"

"It has been dragging on for too long now."

"I love the way Mom's ghost has not made an appearance since she started all this"

"I had noticed that too."

"Poor Marley is having to watch this going on all the time, it really is not doing him a lot of good."

"It is ashame I have noticed that he has a very poor relationship with both of his parents."

"I have tried to tell them both what the are doing to him, but they are too busy fighting to care, they even shout at him for interrupting their arguments"

"Cherry looks like she is about to throw up - is that breakfast or is that a baby??"

"Hopefully a baby but it is too early to tell yet."

"Its unusual to see Cherry with Devon and not you."

"I am extra busy at work at the moment, I am working hard as I have another promotion on the cards.  Cherry is trying to teach Devon to walk before she gets pregnant, and as I taught him to talk and potty trained him she said she wanted to teach him to walk"

"The same old white coat - no promotion today then?"

"Actually yes, I did get that promotion today, I am now a Neurosurgeon, you will see my new work outfit tommorrow."

"Well done, just think one more promotion and you will have achieved your life time wish."

"Cherry is down in the basement looking mighty pleased about something."

"Tell me what?"

"No, I will let her tell you, she is on her way to find you."

"Is she pregnant?"

"Just wait, she will tell you."
