Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace

It was that time again every year in which you were supposed to be thankful for the things you have Of course like every year Elaine was going to be making dinner and Katie usually helped if she was needed. This year Ellie, Matt, and other people in their family were going to be there for the holiday as well. Katie opened the back door for Jake and Kayla to allow them to get out of the car then walked up to the door with Randy and their kids. She chuckled and shook her head when she saw Matt waiting at the door.

"How did I know you were going to be here first?" Katie asked.

"Because I love food and Mrs. Orton cooks the best food of all time." Matt said with a wide smile before he rang the doorbell.

"That is very true." Katie said with a smile.

Elaine opened the door and looked at them confused. "Katie, Matthew, what brings you by?' she asked.

"It's Thanksgiving, why wouldn't we be here?" Katie asked.

"I can smell the food from...wait a minute I don't smell anything." Matt said with a confused look on his face as he peeked into the house.

"That's because there is no food." Elaine said with a chuckle. "Didn't Randy tell you that Bob and I were going to Nathan's house this year?"

"No." Katie said before she looked at Randy with her eyebrow raised.

"What?! Why would you do that for?!" Matt asked, his eyes widened in shock.

"Uh, I forgot." Randy told Katie.

"We wanted a bit of a change this year since we're always handling Thanksgiving." she replied. "You're all more than welcome to stay here and have your own Thanksgiving meal, but Bob and I are leaving."

"How the hell could you forgot?!" Katie yelled.

Matt glared at Randy.

"You have ruined Thanksgiving. Katie sucks at cooking and Ellie isn't any better." Matt said.

"Hey!" Katie yelled as she glared at Matt.

"Oh come on, I didn't ruin it. I honestly forgot they were going to Nathan's house." he shrugged.

"Aw, I'm sure your sisters aren't bad cooks." Elaine said.

"I hope you're right because if you're not you're going to have one less son." Matt mumbled as he walked into the house.

Katie smacked Randy on the back of the head before she walked into the house.

"It'll be okay." Elaine chuckled as she and Bob started to head out. "Happy Thanksgiving guys." she smiled as they left.

Randy rubbed the back of his head. "Ow."

"Happy Thanksgiving Elaine." Katie said with a smile.

"It'll be a Happy Thanksgiving if Katie signs divorce papers right now." Matt muttered.

Katie rolled her eyes.

"Where's Ellie?" Katie asked.

"How nice Matt." Randy said as he rolled his eyes.

Ellie walked in after she ran into Elaine outside and she told her to go in. She walked in with Maddie and a pie in her hand and looked around confused.

"Uh...hi." she chuckled.

"It's not my fault you ruined one of the best holidays of the year." Matt said.

Matt looked over at Ellie.

"Randy fucked up Thanksgiving." Matt said.

"Matt shut up. Ellie, you and I need to cook because Elaine went to Nathan's. Randy apparently knew but didn't tell us." Katie said.

Maddie gasped and pointed at Matt. "That's a bad word!"

Ellie chuckled, then groaned. "Do we have too?"

"Sorry." Matt said before he sat on the couch and crossed his arms.

"Unfortunately yes because if we don't Matt might kill himself or kill Randy." Katie said

"I'm killing Randy anyway because thanks to him you both are going to poison me." Matt said.

"Stop being so over dramatic." Katie said.

"Matt, just...stop acting like a child and be quiet." she said. "You will not be poisoned, you'll be fine. Let's do this then." she said.

"You just always have to complain." Randy said.

Katie nodded then walked into the kitchen.

"I wouldn't have gotten so dressed up if I knew I would be cooking." Katie said.

"And you always have to ruin everything. Maddie kick him." Matt said as he pointed at Randy.

Maddie looked at Randy then shook her head. "No, then he get hurt." she said.

"Same here." Ellie said. "Oh well, let's just get this over and done with." she said with a shrug.

Randy just chuckled. "Smart kid."

Katie nodded then looked around.

"Um...I guess we get the turkey in the oven first." Katie said.

Matt frowned.

"Maddie you're supposed to be on my side!" Matt complained.

"I'll do it." Kayla said before she ran up to Randy and kicked his leg.

Maddie pouted and went to where Katie and Ellie were. "Uncle Matty is mean."

Ellie chuckled. "You can just stay here then." she said putting her on the chair so she could sit. Then she turned to look at Katie. "Yeah, the turkey is the first thing we should work on." she agreed.

Randy groaned. "Kayla, no." he said holding his knee. "That's not nice at all."

Katie pulled the turkey out of the fridge then put it into a baking pan.

"Um...you can stick your hand into it and take out the giblets." Katie said with a smile.

Kayla pouted then hugged Randy's leg and kissed his knee.

"I'm sorry." Kayla said.

"Ew no." Ellie said. "You can do it."

"It's okay now." Randy said. "Just no more, okay?"

"I am not...I repeat am not putting my hand up a turkey's ass." Katie said.

Matt heard Ellie and Katie then smirked before he pulled his phone out of his pocket and walked into the kitchen.

"I'm going to love putting this on youtube." Matt said.

Kayla nodded.

"Okay daddy." Kayla said.

"Katie...you're like....more of the mother between the two of us. Sooooo, you should do it." she nodded with a smile.

"Good girl." Randy said as he kissed Kayla's cheek.

Katie groaned.

"I hate you sometimes." Katie muttered before she slowly and with a disgusted look on her face put her hand into the turkey.

Matt started to laugh as he taped it.

Kayla smiled then kissed Randy on his cheek.

"You're the best daddy ever." Kayla said.
