We're at it again

"Well...that is true." he chuckled.

"Glad you admit to it." Lacy chuckled.

A Few Months Earlier

"Shut up, Bam Bam!"

"No, YOU shut up, Ally." Brandon retorted easily, following her down the stairs as she tried to get away from him.

"Lemme 'lone!" Allison hollered. "Mommy!"

Brandon scoffed. "Call Mommy, I don't care."

Allison raised a brow. "DADDY!"

Brandon's eyes widened. He covered her mouth and struggled to pull her through the house before reaching the front door. He opened it and pushed her outside into the freezing rain, shutting the door in her face before Punk came down. He then went to go sit on the couch.

Punk heard Ally calling for him, so he headed downstairs....but didn't see her. "Brandon, where's your sister?"

"She was lookin' for her toys and was gonna ask you, but she went to go look for it herself," Brandon lied smoothly. "So iuno."

"But her toys are upstairs." he said.

"Iuno Daddy, Ally is weird." Brandon shrugged.

Thunder rumbled in their ears and lightning crackled in the sky. Allison was standing outside, and as close to the door as possible to protect herself from the rain (though it wasn't working and she was soaking wet), but as soon as the thunder went down? Game over. She began to bawl loudly and bang on the door frantically. "LET ME IN! BAM BAM! STOP! LET ME IN!" She wailed.

Punk looked over at the door, hearing the banging and...Ally? He opened it and saw Ally there and she was soaked from head to toe. "Ally, oh god....get in here." he said as he brought her inside and grabbed a towel from the closet. "What were you doing out there?" he asked as he wrapped the towel around her to dry her up a bit.

"Bam Bam push me out and lock the door!" Allison continued to bawl as she began to shiver.

"Nuh uh! You look for your toys!" Brandon defended himself. Blatant lie, but he didn't want to give in trouble.

"Brandon, tell the truth. Did you push Allison out? If you lie you're going to be in even more trouble." he said as he continued to dry Allison off.

"Ally lie Daddy, she look for her toys." Brandon said stubbornly.

"My toys in my room!" Allison yelled as she continued to cry on Phil's shoulder.

Well if Brandon wasn't going to confess. "Lacy!" he called out. Maybe he'd confess to her and then Punk could go get Allison into some dry clothes.

Lacy had heard the yelling but was hoping that Punk would take care of it this once. Welp. Lacy came down the stairs and saw Allison crying with her hair wet and Phil had her wrapped up in a towel. "What's going on down here? Allison, what happened?"

"Bam Bam pushed me into the rain and the thunder was scary and he no open the door." Allison cried.

Lacy immediately looked towards Brandon. "You did WHAT?"

Brandon looked down at his socks. Why did he tell Allison she could call Lacy again? "No I didn't."

"Upstairs."

"But Mommy--"

"Now." Lacy pointed behind her to his room. Brandon got off of the couch and trudged slowly up the stairs.

"D-d-daddy... I'm c-cold..." Allison whimpered, her teeth chattering.

"I know, we'll go change you now." he said as he picked her up, then looked at Lacy. "He wouldn't confess to it and I know he listens to you more than he does to me.'' he said, then headed upstairs to take the wet clothes off of Allison.

"Yeah." Lacy shook her head, biting her tongue and going after Brandon into his room. Ignore any yelling.

"Bam Bam is so mean, Daddy..." Allison whimpered and had taken to just letting her head fall limply on Daddy's shoulder.

Punk nodded. "That was very mean of him." he said as he took her to her room and started to change her.

"I do nothing to him and he push me when it's rain and go boom outside," she pouted, shivering some more when he took her clothes off.

''Well he will be in big trouble, don't you worry." he said as he took the towel to dry her off completely and dried her hair off as well.

"Okay Daddy." Ally pouted.

He kissed her cheek and grabbed the warmest pajamas she had and changed her into them. "You should feel nice and warm soon."

"Daddy, I sleep with you tonight?" Ally looked up at him.

"Of course you can." he said as he made sure her hair was dry. "There, all done."

"T'ank you, Daddy." She listened to Lacy yelling at Brandon. "Mommy loud."

He nodded. "Oh yeah, I know." he chuckled. "Come on, we'll go to my bed."

" 'kay." She grabbed his hand.

He lead her to his room and then put her on the bed, getting on it as well. He put the blankets over her, to keep her warm. "There, now you'll have a nice, warm sleep."
