I liked the way you handled that - talk about an awkward predicament to be in! *gasp* I even felt sorry for Chester in this one cause he's as much to blame as Rav is (idiots). The fact that Sam took on a mature tome was definately commendable. Don't think I could have been so mature if I were in her situation... But wow. Just... loved it. LOVED it!
Today has been the best! 2 updates from you and I got to ask Rob himself a question on LPU. Wow. Life doesn't get much sweeter than this... except to actually live this story I guess, hehe *evil smirk*
Don't I just wish?
Can't wait for more! Brilliant! Bravo! *stands on a chair and cheers wildly*
(It's adrenalin, it'll wear off eventually... maybe).

Rob stared at the phone. Rav could be heard in the background tending to a three month old Fox. Sarah and Fribby were already at the table waiting paitently for Rav to feed them. He felt almost helpless. The phone call from five minutes ago compleatly distroyed him. Mel crawled up to him and tugged on his pants.
"daddy all good?"
She asked in a questioningly manner. Rob shook his head as he picked mel up, unable to help himself at smiling.
"Rob, dinners ready."
Rav called. Rob reluctantly got up. his heart almost in his throat. Rav saw it in his eyes, something was wrong.
"Are you alright?"
"Its my dad."
Rob confessed, trying to swallow back the tears. Rav froze as she was in the middle of setting dinner on the table.
"what happened?"
"He stepped on a landmine. his whole lower half is gone."
Rob said sinking his head into his hands. Rob swallowed once more as Mel tugged at him to see if he was ok. Rob pulled mel up into his lap and despite rav's icy glares, he continued on.
"They're flying him back as fast as they can for medical treatment. I dont know when hes gonna get here."
Rav rubbed his back in a form of comfort. unlike her, Rob was closer to his dad then to his mom. It was understandable being that his mom was a ******* son of a kelpie.
"when he gets here, you gonna try to go see him?"
Rob nodded his mouth in a thin line. Rav set down his plate of pasta and rob halfheartedly picked up the fork and started eating. Rav retrieved mel from his lap so he could eat in peace while placing her and sarah on the floor of the living room while fribby was running around in circles of his play pen. the open threshold allowed rob the opportunity to see what was going on in the living room while eating in the kitchen. He starred down at the pasta as if it had done him a great personal wrong. Rob didnt feel like eating. it just seemed to be one thing after another trying to derail him from his walks along the traintracks of life.
"Rob come look at this."
Rav's voice jerked him from his thoughts as he stood up and greatfully pushed the plate of pasta aside to enter teh living room. Mel took her first slow and careful steps towards her daddy before falling on her ****. Sarah, not to be out done by her younger sister, stood up and then tried to take her first steps. soon it became a contest of who could stand up first.
The next few days the house was pretty quiet save for fox's perodic tantrums. Rob sighed as he opened the door to see rav nursing fox in her arms. since the band had gotten signed and there was a much steadier flow of money comming in, they were able to afford day care for sarah and fribby and even mel, much to Robs youngest daughters dismay. Rob took fox in his arms as he fed her with the bottle.
"I got another show tonight rav. Its our biggest venue yet. we're opening an hour for Metallica."
Rob said casually. Rav sighed as she went to go see who was at the door knocking. Rob pulled his hat off and set it down on the table.
"Rob you have a package."
Rav said as rob continued to feed fox.
"I'll get to it in a moment."
Rob called out to Rav as she pulled the large box inside. Rob raised an eyebrow at it as he looked it over.
"Another show tonight eh?"
"Yeah our biggest show yet. are you gonna come and bring the kids?"
"Oh i guess I will if I can get off early enough."
Rav said taking fox and her bottle while rob pulled out his pocket knife and started to open the box and its six feet of tape up.
"I'm gonna take Fox and go visit my dad."
Rob muttered as he concentrated on the box. Rob almost gave up for a moment to take a long gulp of water.
"The reccord company dosent want us to go on tour yet. They want to see how well the EP album does before and then the demo CD as well before we actually go in and record our actual first album."
Rob said as he looked up at Rav with Fox on her hip like he'd seen many times before with either fribby or sarah. Rob managed to finally wrestle the box open and inside was a bunch of clothes.
"Whats all that?"
"Its from my aunt gilda in jersey. she says some of its for the kids and other stuffs for us."
Rob answered rav as he read the letter, blushing deeply at the memory of his aunt gilda doing anything to embarrass him. but even if she was his crazy aunt, she was still family and his mothers sister at that. rav nervously pushed a bag with her foot behind the sofa.
"well im gonna head off, take care of fox."
Rav said as fox promptly started screaming as rob took her in his arms. Rob set her down in the play pen before going through the box of clothes, figuring out what he could wear, what was for the kids, and odds and ends that rav might want. Rob chuckeled at some of the stuff that his aunt sent him. most of it was like skater clothes and occassionally there was the atrocious puke green baby jump suite or a yellow and pink baby tee-shirt that made rob wonder what on earth his aunt was smoking.
"daddy all good?"
She asked in a questioningly manner. Rob shook his head as he picked mel up, unable to help himself at smiling.

OMG! I'm so thrilled you finally updated!! Just made my day.
Well, I'm not sure what to say - poor Greg! *gasp* Man, I can't imagine what something like that must do to Rob and his family. Try explaining that to a bunch of toddlers as to why Grandpa looks different to a lot of other Grandpa's around... hmm.
The clothes - funny stuff. I personally love that kinda stuff, even today I went nuts at several second-hand stores, love it. And lets face it despite the fact Rob now has money coming in they'd still have bills to pay, all that stuff, and having 4 youngins is a helluvalot of washing - I know what three's like at once, four's just nuts!
But anyway, as for the skipping ahead business - that's fair enough. If you took it year-to-year it'll end up being an epic of a story - prolly like mine, aha!
I don't mind. I love this story, you know I read this more than I prolly should. Just can't get enough really.
*tackle hugs*
Can't wait for more.

this is a very sentimental part in teh story for me. so be warned, its a bit sad and yeah... this is based on something that actualy appened to me in RL but it has Fribby in it instead of my brother Richie. my accident to say the least. you can call it a bit of insite into the person I am now.
*three years*
Rob groaned as he bent down to pick mel up. She and sarah had just celebrated their fourth birthday. Their 'teacher' from preschool had talked to rob about Mel's extream shyness. Sarah was busy trying to get something out of her cubby hole.
"I dont know what to say mr bourdon. Mel wont play with the other kids and refuses to talk to any one. some of the older kids are teasing her something firece though."
Robs frown darkened as mel looked at him with pleading eyes. Fribby was tugging his pant leg, growling slightly.
"I dont know, she talks all the time at home."
Rob said as sarah came back with her latest piece of artwork in her hands. Rob put Mel down and had her hold her brothers hand while he picked up fox from her room down at the other end of the hall. After putting everyone in their car seats.
"How come you dont play with the others mel?"
"they dont like me."
Came the small voice of the four year old from the back seat.Rob's lips fromed a pressed, thin line as he drove the rest of the way home. Maybe she needed some sort of self confidence, rob thought to himself. Sarah was making fast friends and fribby didnt have trouble with playing with the other kids and fox may have been younger but her social skills have developed further then the others. She was just as out going as chester. Rob pulled into the driveway of their new home that they were curently moving into. Mel and fribby played tag out in the front yard when rob went inside to help rav oversee the movers so they didnt break anything that wasnt broken already. Fribby kept a close eye on Mel as they chased each other about. Mel tripped and fell in the soft grass, fribby went to help her up after finding themselves surrounded by a group of neighborhood boys.
"Why are you playing with that girl?"
one of them said with an evil smirk on his face. Fribby shrugged as Mel poked him.
"Come on cant you talk?"
another one laughed as he gave fribby a shove.
"leave him alone!"
Mel shouted, standing up for her brother.
"go away you stupid girl."
"yeah stupid girl!"
One of the boys gave mel a shove and she tripped backwards over the curb and into the street. there was an on comming car, fribby reacted instantly for a four year old, running and pulling mel up and on to the side walk, making her scrape the front of her face. he pushed the boys out of the way as he turned mel over. he bit his lip and started to cry.
"daddy!"
He screamed and went running into the house. he found rob who was caught off gaurd by fribby clinging to his leg.
"daddy!"
He sobbed as he pulled on his fathers hand.
"Wahts wrong fribby?"
"Daddy!"
He said continuing to pull him. Rob followed him dutifully into the front yard where the driver of the car had pulled over to check and make sure mel was alright.
"Ohmygodmel!"
He said in one fast sentence. Rob called for rav to dial 911. Fribby was sobbing saying mel's name over and over. Sarah and fox had appeared at teh door, looking on. Sarah's face streaked with tears as she could feel her twin was in pain. It took a while for the EMS to arrive, buy that time, rav was in a break down.
"Mel..."
Fribby sobbed. He couldnt stop crying, feeling as if somehow it was his fault. Teh driver was telling Rav about Fribby pulling Mel out of the street. Rav hugged her children as Rob climbed into the EMT with mel.
Rav was almost having a break down by the time she got to the childrens ward in he hospital. it was close to ten at night after having to oversee the moving and then waiting for Mike and chester to come and keep an eye on fribby, sarah, and Fox.
"How is she?"
Rav braved to ask of her husband sitting in a chair close to her daughters bed. Rav bit her lip as she spared a momentairy glance at Mel. the sight was enough to make her choke on her tears. there was an oxygen mask covering mels nose and mouth with a large bandage over her eyes and down the side of her face. wires were criss crossing over her hooking her up to IV's and the heart moniters and other machines that neither rob nor rav could guess their function
"she hasnt woken up yet."
Rob said, his voice cracking slightly.
"They say something dammaged her eyes, she wont be able to see any more."
Rob said breaking down into tears. Rav bit her lip as a stray tear slid down her cheek.
"theres nothing they can do?"
Rob took in a deep shaky gulp of air.
"There is, but they like cant do it untill shes like thirteen. even then they'd have to go in every year with surgery to make sure things are working right."
Rob said as he wiped his eyes with the back of his hands. Rav leaned over to comfort him.
"Fribby still thinks that its all his fault."
"From what the driver told me, he pulled her up just in time."
Rob muttered while he stroked his daughters hair.
"I cant be more proud of him."
Rob murmered, this time looking rav in the eyes. Rav gave her youngest daughter a kiss on the top of the head.
"I think Mels gonna need some extra help now more then ever."
"Her teacher was telling me the same thing this afternoon."
"Why not sign her up for martial arts?"
"thats not a bad idea. preferably someone whos good and dosent cost an arm and a leg."
Rob said, not taking his eyes off of his daughter.
"You might want to start teaching her drumming too."
Rob chuckeled this time.
"Are you sure you want two drummers in the house? can your eardrums stand it?"
"I'll find a way."
Rav sank down into the armchair that was in the far corner.
"Whos watching the rest of the kids?"
"Chester and mike."
Rob gave a small smile which was short lived as he then turned back to his daughter. He wished that he could do anything to have had this be prevented.
Mel woke up in total blackness. she panicked, not knowing where her dad or her brothers and sisters were.
"daddy!"
she called softly. Mel then started crying.
"Mel!"
She could hear her daddys voice but she couldnt see him.
"Daddy I cant see you im scared."
Mel sobbed as she wimpered slightly.
"I'm right here babe."
He said as he wrapped his arms around his little girl.
"Im scared. I cant see you but i can hear you and feel you."
"I know its ok, im here and im not going anywhere. neither is your mom."
"I cant see her either."
Mels small voice squeaked as it almost broke ravs heart in two. rav put her hand on her daughters and gave it a small squeeze.
"I'm here mel."
Mel's sobbs eased as she recognized her mothers voice. soon a doctor came in to check on mel.
"daddy, mommy, dont leave me."
She wimpered as she felt them leave.
"we're right here."
Rob said reassuring her as she then fell back into an uneasy sleep.

Rob rubbed his hands over his stubble as he looked around the brightly colored kids room. there was a **** on the door. Rob glanced over at the digital clock that was on a small night stand. who'd be there this early, he wondered. He opened the door and it was his dad in a wheelchair. His dad was having to stay in the longterm ward for his physical therapy untill he could live back on his own again.
"dad....."
He said as he swallowed, seeing his dad for the first time since his amputation. His dad smiled and wheeled himself into the room and over to Mel's bed.
"Is she gonna be ok?"
Rob nodded as the nurse closed the door behind him. Rob broke down into tears, expressing his fears that he would loose her and tried and worried and how it seemed that it was his fault. his dad hugged his son in comfort. the two men looked up as they heard a small noise.
"Grampa?"
Mel asked as she looked around blanky.
"Hey mel. how are you feeling?"
Mel turned her head towards the sound of his voice.
"I'm tired and my head hurts."
She said, stressing her r's like all children her age did. Her grandpa smiled.
"its ok monkey."
He said as he tenderly kissed her head. Mel then turned her head in a different direction as the door opened.
"Umm mr bourdon?"
"which one?"
Rob's dad asked with a chuckle at the nurse.
"uhhh Rob bourdon?"
"That would be me."
Rob said as he looked the nurse up and down.
"theres a group of people here to see your daughter, i need your permission before I let them in."
Rob nodded giving her his permission.
"well son, you know where my room is, dont be a stranger."
"bye dad. thanks for listening."
"No problem kid."
Rob watched his dad wheel himself out of the room before it was clustered with his bandmates and his children and wife.
"I brought Mel something, I figured that she could use it."
Mike put Mel's wandering hands on something soft and fuzzy
"Squishy rob!"
she yelled happily as she instantly recognized the scent and feeling of her favorite wobegong stuffed animal named in her fathers honor. Sarah, fribby, and fox climbed onto the bed with their sister. Sarah feeling in the gut of her stomache that something was up with her twin. Mel reached out with her hands to find one of her siblings. her searching hands found fribby's hair.
"Who this?"
A small growl made her instantly recognize her older brother. she hugged him, pulling the IV in her arm taunt.Rob couldnt help but smile at the support that Mel was getting from his bandmates. While rav kept an eye on the kids, Rob told his bandmates what had happened and expressed his concerns about his daughters predicament. Mike voiced his opnion about teaching her martial arts, how he knew someone who could help. Rob then tried to apologize in advance for all the trouble this has caused.
"Dude like dont be such a jerkoff. Its really like no problem. We're all like in this together."
"Yeah big bads right, no matter what you do we're all stuck together for life."
Pheonix s******ed as he gave the younger man a hug.
"we'll help, dont worry."
Mike said reassuringly as he gave rob a punch in the arm. Rob smiled as his band mates went to give some more attention to his youngest daughter. amidst of the hugging and the smiles and plesantries, Rob got pulled out by the doctor once more with a lure that his daughters x-rays were back. The doctor explained that when Mel had fallen, her skull fractured and the bridge of her nose had disrupted the recepters in the back of her eyes. Rob nodded, pretending to understand all of the technical babble. Rob nodded one last time as he went back in to his family.
It was silent that night.
"So what should we do? I just want some answers..."
Rob seemed to beg as Rav came in with a tray of hospital food. Rob groaned as he looked around the small room in the childrens ward. The only miniscule amount of light was emitting from a small lamp all the way across. Rav set the tray down in some small attempt at consoling her husband. Rav shook her head, almost just as confused as Rob was. The darkness was almost as sufficating as the silence. Rob looked up to see his daughter cringe away from the shadows. Rob kissed the top of her head before whispering some words.
"shadows are only made when the lights come."
yeah this little bit is a bit sentamental but i guess that youre right rav. writing is a form of therepy
"dad....."
He said as he swallowed, seeing his dad for the first time since his amputation. His dad smiled and wheeled himself into the room and over to Mel's bed.
"Is she gonna be ok?"
Rob nodded as the nurse closed the door behind him. Rob broke down into tears, expressing his fears that he would loose her and tried and worried and how it seemed that it was his fault. his dad hugged his son in comfort. the two men looked up as they heard a small noise.
"Grampa?"
Mel asked as she looked around blanky.
"Hey mel. how are you feeling?"
Mel turned her head towards the sound of his voice.
"I'm tired and my head hurts."
She said, stressing her r's like all children her age did. Her grandpa smiled.
"its ok monkey."
He said as he tenderly kissed her head. Mel then turned her head in a different direction as the door opened.
"Umm mr bourdon?"
"which one?"
Rob's dad asked with a chuckle at the nurse.
"uhhh Rob bourdon?"
"That would be me."
Rob said as he looked the nurse up and down.
"theres a group of people here to see your daughter, i need your permission before I let them in."
Rob nodded giving her his permission.
"well son, you know where my room is, dont be a stranger."
"bye dad. thanks for listening."
"No problem kid."
Rob watched his dad wheel himself out of the room before it was clustered with his bandmates and his children and wife.
"I brought Mel something, I figured that she could use it."
Mike put Mel's wandering hands on something soft and fuzzy
"Squishy rob!"
she yelled happily as she instantly recognized the scent and feeling of her favorite wobegong stuffed animal named in her fathers honor. Sarah, fribby, and fox climbed onto the bed with their sister. Sarah feeling in the gut of her stomache that something was up with her twin. Mel reached out with her hands to find one of her siblings. her searching hands found fribby's hair.
"Who this?"
A small growl made her instantly recognize her older brother. she hugged him, pulling the IV in her arm taunt.Rob couldnt help but smile at the support that Mel was getting from his bandmates. While rav kept an eye on the kids, Rob told his bandmates what had happened and expressed his concerns about his daughters predicament. Mike voiced his opnion about teaching her martial arts, how he knew someone who could help. Rob then tried to apologize in advance for all the trouble this has caused.
"Dude like dont be such a jerkoff. Its really like no problem. We're all like in this together."
"Yeah big bads right, no matter what you do we're all stuck together for life."
Pheonix s******ed as he gave the younger man a hug.
"we'll help, dont worry."
Mike said reassuringly as he gave rob a punch in the arm. Rob smiled as his band mates went to give some more attention to his youngest daughter. amidst of the hugging and the smiles and plesantries, Rob got pulled out by the doctor once more with a lure that his daughters x-rays were back. The doctor explained that when Mel had fallen, her skull fractured and the bridge of her nose had disrupted the recepters in the back of her eyes. Rob nodded, pretending to understand all of the technical babble. Rob nodded one last time as he went back in to his family.
It was silent that night.
"So what should we do? I just want some answers..."
Rob seemed to beg as Rav came in with a tray of hospital food. Rob groaned as he looked around the small room in the childrens ward. The only miniscule amount of light was emitting from a small lamp all the way across. Rav set the tray down in some small attempt at consoling her husband. Rav shook her head, almost just as confused as Rob was. The darkness was almost as sufficating as the silence. Rob looked up to see his daughter cringe away from the shadows. Rob kissed the top of her head before whispering some words.
"shadows are only made when the lights come."
