Nana Gallagher Had An Affair

Later that night, I'm fast asleep in my bed until I feel someone tapping me.

"Morgan?" When I open my eyes I see Carl standing over my bed.

"Did you flood the toilet again?" I mutter.

"Is Mom and her girlfriend really going to take Liam?" He asks.

I sit up on my bed and move over, letting him sit beside me.

When he sits down I wrap my around around his shoulders and pull him into a hug.

"Liam's not going anywhere." I say to him.

"What if she tries to take me and Debbie next?" He asks.

"I wouldn't let her, nobody is going anywhere." I tell him.

"I miss Fiona, Mom forgot to remind me to brush my teeth multiple times and she didn't tuck me or Debbie in." He says.

I see that Lip is now also awake as he listens to us.

"I'll go and tuck you in, come on." I say.

The next morning I walk downstairs and see Monica is the kitchen.

"Monica, Carl needs you to sign something for him." Lip says.

"Here." Carl says as he gives her a slip of paper.

"What's this?" Monica asks.

"Permission slip, we're going to an aquarium, also I need 10 dollars."

"What for?" Bob asks.

"Stay out of it, Robbie." Carl replies as I smile at him.

"Debs, what are you doing?" Monica asks.

"I'm looking for a poster board and markers. I'm running for re-election." She answers.

"Ian, could you help her? If you could tell me these things the night before I would be more organised in the morning." Monica says.

"I need 40 bucks." Lip states.

"No way." Bob replies.

"I need a new calculus textbook. I can get it used, then it would only cost 20 dollars." Lip says.

"Where are our lunches?" Ian asks.

"Huh?" Monica says as we all stop and stare at her.

"What is everybody looking at? Start spreading peanut butter on bread!" Bob says.

I go over to my coat and pull out my wage I got for working yesterday.

I then share the money equally between us.

"Everyone can just buy lunch today." I say. "Go on guys, I'll catch up."

I watch as they all leave the house and I turn back to look at Monica.
