When Gary arrived home, he found a note from his wife, and a picture of his daughter.
"Gary, took the kids to the bake sale at school, be home soon. Jessie left you a picture of herself, enjoy it, and her silliness. See you soon, love and kisses, Donna, Jessie, and Gary."
Turning over the polaroid shot he laughed. God she looked cute. Placing the picture back down, he decided to head over and pick them up.
Arriving at the school, he parked the car, and walked inside. Heading to the gym, he seen his daughter first.
"Daaaaaaaaaaddy... you came. Did you see my picture? I was a silly clown."
"I seen that, sweetheart. I loved it. You looked very silly."
Walking up to his wife, he kissed her, and took Gary into his arms.
"Did mom show up with Alan, love?"
"She did. Dad even came, but he's been doing more sulking then selling. Mom said he was upset, cause she wouldn't play in the bubbles with him earlier."
"That's dad for you. I just hope I'm that spry when I hit his age."
Donna laughed. "Why don't you go save him, and take the kids out back to the playground.
Walking over with his kids, Gary said...
"Hey dad, grab Alan and lets go outside. We'll give them some run around time on the playground."
Grabbing his sons arm, he pulled him down to his level.
"That guy has a gun Gary. Left jacket pocket."
Looking at the suspect, he didn't look a parent. Leaving his children with his father, he walked over and said...
"Hi, can I help you?"
"No. No, I'm fine man. Just looking for someone."
"May I ask who? Some of the parents are becoming very nervous, cause they don't know you."
Continuing to ignore Gary, he kept walking. Then he seen her, the target. His estranged wife and children. Walking faster, Gary seen him reaching for the gun, tackling him to the ground, the gun went flying, as Gary cuffed him.
Seeing the gun slide across the floor, Mac ran over and grabbed it. While all the parents continued to panic and run from the school. "Gary called Don, to pick up the suspect."
" We still have it dad. You see that? We cleared the school, caught the suspect, and the weapon. How do you feel, dad?"
Mac smiled. "It's better then sex son. I feel so alive again."
Stella slapped him, as she laughed. "You are so bad. Wait till I get you home."
Mac smirked as he thought to himself..."wait till I get you home."
"Why is it, wherever we go, you two always find trouble?"
"I'm not sure Donna. It must be that father, son thing."
With the bake sale now cancelled. they all headed home. While Gary headed to the station with the suspect.
When Donna arrived at home, she got Gary ready for his nap. While Jessie got into the baked goods. Opening all the trays, she took out a flacky looking pastry that was filled with whip cream. Biting into it, she ate the whole thing, then grabbed another.
Moving along to the fudge brownies, she ate two of those too. Then as she got up to get a drink, she felt sick. Her tummy was in all kind of pain. Running down the hall into her brothers room, Donna turned and realized she had been into the desserts.
"Auuugh... you didn't Jessie? How many did you eat?"
"I don't know mommy, but I feel really sick."
"Great. Let's get you into the bathroom."
Taking down the childrens Pepto, she gave her a spoonful, hoping it would either make her sick, or settle her tummy ache. Donna hoped for the first.
Not more then twenty minutes later, Jessie threw up everywhere.
"Oh... I'm so sick mommy. I'm sorry I ate too much."
"I know you are sweetheart. Let's get you into bed, okay?"
Helping her daughter snuggle down, she gave her a kiss, and left the room. Walking into the kitchen, her mom called.
"Hello."
"Hi my baby girl, how are you doing?"
"Good mom. We missed you at the bake sale. It was pretty intense. Some psycho father tried to kill his wife. So father and son, took him down."
"I bet Mac enjoyed that?"
"He did. He really misses it. You can see it. So what did you need, mom?"
"Not alot. You're father and I had a small arguement. I went to the store, he was supposed to be watching your brother. But he didn't, so little Donald flooded the table and floor with milk and juice. He was sailing his boats in it. So I told him to get out with li'l satan, and they headed over to Mac's."
Donna was in tears. Her poor mom. She could just imagine these little boats, floating down the table.
"It's not funny, Donna."
"I"m sorry mom. I can just imagine it. Aww... too sweet."
"Uhuh... so did you feel like doing lunch tomorrow? It's been a while since we've had lunch."
"Sure, I'd love that. How about around twelve or twelve thirty?"
"Sounds great love. I'll see you then. Bye."
Hanging up the phone, Donna got back to putting away the pastries, before Jessie got up from her nap.
