"That you have to take up with Solomon." Holden said watching Hayden eat. "Hayden, I was thinking of getting you a bed, so the next time you sleep over you don't take mine." He said with a smile. "Jason if you have to go to the bathroom go now." He said as he put the pan in the sink.

Amanda ate slowly, because she didn't wanna go to school. "Holden I don't wanna go to school." She said with a slight pout.

"Ok daddy." Jason said as he walked to the bathroom.

"You have to go Amanda." Holden said as he nodded at Jason.
Amanda scowled when Jason called Holden daddy.
"Amanda Marie, don't do that." He said snippy.
Amanda went back to eating.

[Evil Tink]

Hayden pouted, sticking her tongue out at him. She then looked to Amanda, "Don't worry, I'm coming too! Solomon said he'd talk with Mrs...what's her face about getting me....enrolled. Yeah." She smiled, "We'll be classmates!"

[Bovice]

Holden laughed, he looked at his watch. "We need to go. Let's go Jason." He said as he walked into the living room. He grabbed Amanda's backpack and went to the door.

"Coming!" Jason said as he ran to Holden.

"Yay!" Amanda said. She got up and went to Holden.

"See you in a bit Alicia. Don't do anything I wouldn't do." He said with a smile as he unlocked the BMW. "Ten hut, ten hut." He said as he rushed the kids to the car. He got in and started the car. He drove off when everyone was in.

"That basically leaves the door wide open." Alicia said with a smile. "What time does the satellite person come?" She asked.
"Um 10:30, I think." He said as he pulled out of his driveway.

[Evil Tink]

Hayden hurried into the car, sitting next to Amanda, thankful she wasn't between the two. She kept her eyes out the window, not looking forward to going to school...again. She had been to school..so many times...it was insulting.

[Bovice]

"You didn't have to say you would go to school Hayden." Holden said as he got close to the school. "Ah Amanda, there is a ten dollar bill in the counsel take that to get you and Hayden lunch." He said as he pulled up to the school. He turned off the car and grabbed Jason and went inside to find Marsha. He finally found her, "Ah Marsha, it's nice to see you again. This is my sister Amanda, this is Solomon's sister. And this is Jason, I would like to talk in private about Jason." He said. He handed Amanda her backpack, "Now have a good day. You two Hayden." He said with a smile.

Amanda opened the counsel and grabbed the ten dollar bill. She got out of the car and grabbed onto Holden's hand and followed him inside. "Ok Holden, I love you." She said as she ran off to find her first class.

Jason was clinging to Holden as he walked through the school. He was really scared of all of the children.

"I love you to Amanda." Holden said with a smile as he stood back up.

[Evil Tink]

Hayden smiled a bit as she got out of the car with Amanda, "Come on, we have all the same classes, Solo made sure." She dragged Amanda through the halls before coming upon the classroom. She paused frowning, "I hate first day..." "It's okay Holden...it'll help Amanda feel better"

Marsha nodded, leading Holden and Jason to her office, "What can I do for you Holden?"

[Bovice]

"So do I." Amanda said with a frown.

Holden picked up Jason and followed Marsha. "Thank you Hayden." He said. "Well I don't know if Solomon told you but I am fostering Jason, while I wait for the adoption papers to come. I would like to enroll him here if that is ok." He said as he took a seat. "I have to take him to the doctor yet, but I have an appointment set up for later this week." He said as he tried to loosen Jason's grip on his neck. He didn't need to breath but it would look odd if he didn't adjust Jason's hold.

Jason instantly hid his face in Holden's neck, and had his arms around Holden's neck hard.

[Evil Tink]

Marsha nodded a bit as he spoke, "I can't allow you to enroll him until you are in full custody of him. Technically speaking, the Orphanage is still his 'legal guardian'." She frowned slightly, seeing Jason's clinginess, "I don't think...he's socially suited. Don't get mad, I'm not trying to insult him or yourself, but his treatment at the Orphanage was bad, I'm assuming, and he just can't tolerate being around people. He needs to be properly socialized before he can benefit from a school environment."

[Bovice]

"I see." Holden said as Marsha talked. "It was quite bad, and I understand." He said looking to Jason with sad eyes. "Do you know of any home school programs that he would be able to take?" He asked looking back at Marsha.

"I'm sorry daddy." Jason said muffled.
"Shh it's ok Jason." Holden said rubbing his back.

[Evil Tink]

"I can gather up a few brochures and have them to you when you pick up Amanda and Hayden. Perhaps someday Jason could join us, I'm sure he'd really like it here." She smiled a bit, "I wish I could be of more help to you, but there's not much else I can do for you. Oh! I might know a guy who can talk with Jason...but I don't know how comfortable he'd be with that. He seems very shy and...attached."

[Bovice]

"Thank you, and I'm, sure he would." Holden said with a smile. "It is ok, I will talk to him more when he isn't choking me." He said with a slight smile. "Ya he attached to me fast." He said as he rubbed Jason's head. "Thank you for all of your help, I should go. I have a lot of work to do while Amanda is out." He said as he stood up. He quickly extended his hand. "Have a nice day, and I will see you this afternoon." He said as he left Marsha's office.

[Evil Tink]

She shook his hand with a smile, "Of course, see you soon Holden." She leaned back in her chair with a slight sigh. Why did she have the feeling she was going to be seeing him or Solomon down in her h office a lot? Oh, that's right..cause Hayden's a trouble maker. Solomon warned her about that.

[Bovice]

"It's ok Jason. No one was gonna hurt you." Holden said as he got to his car.

"There was a lot of people there." Jason said looking into Holden's eyes.

Holden sighed, "Its ok, now let's go get you some clothes." He said as he put Jason in the car. "Solomon how come I have a feeling I'm gonna have to come back here, other then to pick up Amanda and Hayden?" He asked as he got into the car.

"Call me Alexander." Alicia said in a singsong way. The doorbell rang, "If that is the satellite guy, he is early." She said as she went to the door.

[Evil Tink]

"I just have a feeling that Hayden is going to get herself and Amanda into loads of trouble..maybe it's rubbing off on you."

Alexander sighed as he rummaged through his tiny apartment, "Now where'd I put those darn glasses? I am not getting the 'spare' spare pair." He shuddered slightly at the thought, "I should just get contacts.." He placed his hands on his hips, frustrated as he thought. Suddenly, he hurried into the spare room, pulling open the drawer of the nightstands, "Ah ha! I knew it!'

He pulled the black case from the drawer, lifting the glasses from it. They were almost exactly like his other pair, except the frames were a dark brown rather than black. He slipped them on his face then set out to find his phone. He was anxious to call Alicia. Coffee sounded really good right now, and why should he enjoy it alone when there was a pretty girl waiting for him to call. Right?

[Bovice]

"It's not Hayden I'm worried about, it's Amanda. She is good, unless someone insults me." Holden said as he pulled out of the school driveway.

Alicia opened the door, "Hello." She said a little surprised.

"Hello ma'am, I'm Gail and I am here to set up the dish." A young black haired woman said.

"Ah yes, come on in. There is only three TV's. The one down here, one in my room, and one in the master bedroom." Alicia said as she led the woman in.

"Ok, it shouldn't take me more then forty-five minutes to do." Gail said with a smile as she looked at the TV. "I must say you have great tastes in TV's, Sanyo is a great brand. What is this a 48 inch?" She asked as she looked at the TV.

"Actually it is a 52 inch. And my friend picked it out, I must say though gay men do have great tastes in things. I didn't mean that as a bad thing." Alicia said trying to make it sound better.

"It's ok, I know what you mean. My brother is gay, so I know about it all." Gail said with a smile, as she went back to work.

[Evil Tink]

He found his phone after rummaging through his messenger bag. He flipped it open and dug the piece of paper from his pocket while he did so. He quickly dialed the number, suddenly getting a bit nervous as it rang.
