I like this series but wasn't Luka's dead wife called Daniella? I find it odd that Abby would even consider this name for her child, especially since Luka was plagued with her and the kids for years. Later on in the story you'll find out why Luka was okay with naming her that. It turns out really sweet.

Hey, I'm a Kovac... Dani Yup!! Your a Kovac!
Thanks guys!!
This takes place 12 years in the future. Joe's now 15, and Daniella and Isabella are now 12 and they go by Dani and Bella. They moved to a new house, just on the outskirts of Chicago, 2 years ago. It's the first day of summer vacation.Chapter 6 "See ya later." Joe said as he went to walk out the back door with his skateboard. Abby was in the kitchen making waffles. "Um Joe, where do you think your going? It's only 9." Joe looked back at Abby. He was taller than Abby now. Almost as tall as Luka and he had long, brown hair, most of it hanging down in front of his eyes. He also loved to dress in black. "Dude, just chill. I'm just going to the skate park with Justin and DJ." Abby slammed the spatula down on the stove. "First off Joe, Do NOT call me dude, I am your mother and you will NOT call me that! Second, did you even bother to ask your father if you could go??" Joe swished his head so his hair was more in front of his face. "Pppssshhh, no. Why should I?" Abby put her hand up to her head. "Oh I don't know Joe, because we are your parents and you should! Remember, your only 15! Not 18! When your 18, I really don't care what you do. But as long as your under my house and under my rules, you listen to your father and I! Now go up to your room!" Joe stomped up to his room, pushing his two sisters out of the way as he was walking up the stairs. Since Joe's room was right above the kitchen, Abby could hear the door slam and his skateboard being thrown onto the floor. Dani and Bella came into the kitchen and hopped up onto the bar stool type chairs. "Whats wrong with Joe? Dani asked Abby. "Yeah really, it's the first day of summer, he wasn't like this last year." Bella said. Abby gave the girls each a plate with 2 waffles and a couple pieces of Bacon on them. "He just feels the need to try to walk out of this house at 9 in the morning and give me attitude about it." Dani stuffed a piece of a waffle into her mouth and whispered something into Bella's ear. "Maybe he's going through puberty." Then they both started cracking up. Abby turn around with 2 glasses of orange juice. "What?" Dani stuffed another piece of waffle in her mouth. "Nothing." "So do you girls have any plans for the day?" Abby asked as she was finishing cleaning up. Dani and Bella were just finishing up their orange juice. "Nothing, maybe go out and play basketball or go in the pool for a bit." Bella said. Her and Dani both loved sports. In the fall, they went to every football game, in the winter, they always made the basketball team, and in the spring, softball was their life. "Sounds like fun, just be careful when your in the pool, I don't want to walk into a trauma room and find one of you guys there." Dani and Bella both shrugged as they got up and put their cups in the sink. "Don't worry mom, we always are." Abby smiled and gave them both hugs. "Okay, your dad's shift started at 8 so he will be home around 2 or 3, and then I will be home around 4." "Okay mom, have fun! Dani and Bella both said sarcastically." Abby turned around as she was walking out the door and grinned. "Don't worry, I will. Oh and when your brother feels up to coming downstairs, tell him theres some Bacon and eggs in the fridge for him." Bella and Dani walked into the living room and turned on the TV. "Soooo.....what do you want to do?" Bella asked Dani." "Ummm....we could play the Wii, or we could go torture Joe?" Dani said with a smile spreading across her face. "Yeah but Joe's not so much fun to torture anymore. He's gone gothic or something." Dani leaned back on the couch and started flipping through the channels. "I'm telling you, it's puberty." Bella slapped Dani. "Would you just shut up! Let's just play the Wii for now."

Thanks guys!
I changed Abby's age in this chapter. If I kept going along with the storyline, she would have been 51, but it wouldn't work out with the plans I have for this story. So when She had Joe, she was 31, and when she had Dani and Bella, she was 33. She's 45 now.Chapter 7 Abby stormed into the ER looking for Luka. She had to tell him about how Joe has been acting. When she was pregnant with Joe, she always thought that the mother daughter dynamic would scare her because of all the fights she has seen with moms and daughters but so far, she likes it. The girls have hardly ever given her much trouble. Joe is just turning into, someone that she didn't want him to turn into. "Morris!" Abby said as she walked out of the lounge. Morris was sitting at the admit desk, drinking a cappuccino and reading the newspaper. He quickly jumped off the chair and looked right into Abby's eyes. "Where's Luka?? I need to talk to him." For being 45 years old, Abby still looked young. She looked as if she were only 35. In the past 10 years, she hasn't changed a bit. "Umm....he's in trauma 2. A major stab victim just came in about 25 minutes ago." Abby sighs. She goes and grabs a chart, and starts reading it. "Okay well if you see him before me, could you tell him I need to talk to him?" "Sure Abs!" Abby walks away, but quickly turns back and looks at Morris. "Oh and Morris, if you ever call me Ab's again, I'll kill you. I really mean it this time." It's 10:30, and Dani and Bella are still in the living room playing the Wii. They heard Joe come down the stairs, and he walks right past them in the living room and starts to open up the front door when Bella said, "Mom doesn't want you to go out you know." Joe completely ignored her and walked out of the door with his skateboard. "I have a feeling that when dad comes home he will be in so much trouble." Bella said as Dani went and turned off the Wii. "I wonder whats so important that he has to leave the house this early and just go skateboarding." Dani and Bella both sat back down on the couch and turned on MTV. "Hey I have the greatest idea." Dani said. "Does it involve leaving the house and go spying on Joe to see what he is doing?" Dani gave Bella a surprised look. "Wow you know me so well!" "Duh of course! We're twins! It's just that you don't even think before doing these things when I do. And besides, that was just a lucky guess, your the one that comes up with all the great plans." Bella said. Dani wasn't sure if she was trying to be funny, or if she was serious. "Okay well come on! Lets go then!" Dani said as she was trying to pull Bella up from the couch. Bella got her cell phone out and started to dial the number for the ER. "Yeah but we gotta let mom or dad know first. I don't want to be like Joe." Dani gave Bella a look. "Okay....so what are you going to tell them? That Joe went out skateboarding and that we are going to go spy on him?" Bella just gave Dani a blank look. "Right. So just tell them that we are going to ride our bikes." Bella pressed the call button on her phone and it started to ring. "County ER." It was Frank. Bella hesitated for a second. She hated making phone calls. She was the shy one compared to Dani. Dani was always in everyone's face and Bella would just stay back and walk away from things. "Um yeah hi Frank it's Bella, is my mom or dad around?" 'Yes just hold on a second. Abby! Your kid's on the phone!" Abby went and grabbed the phone away from Frank. "Hello?" "Hey mom, me and Dani are going to go ride our bikes we just wanted to let you know." Bella started to bit her lip. Even though this was just her mom she was talking to, she still hated to talk on the phone. Dani started to shake her head. "Yeah sure, go ahead. Just be home by 3. Oh and is your brother still home?" Bella had speaker phone on so Dani could her everything Abby was saying. Bella looked at Dani. She didn't know what to say. Bella was the worst at lying. Her mom knew it too. Dani started to shake her head saying yes. "Umm...yeah mom." She stuttered when she said it. "Are you sure?" "Uhh..yeah mom we haven't seen him since we came downstairs for breakfast." "Okay, well, I guess I'll see you guys later." "Alright bye mom." Bella closed the phone and leaned back into the couch and sighed. "Next time, I'm calling her! God Bella you are the worst liar ever." "I know I know shut up.Lets just go." Dani and Bella grabbed their keys and their cell phones and went out the door to the garage and got their bikes.

Thanks! Chapter 8 Abby hung up the phone and say Luka walking towards the admit desk. "Hey who were you on the phone with?" Luka said when he placed a chart back into the rack. "Oh it was just Bella, she wanted to know if it was okay for her and Dani to go ride their bikes. Hey, um, could we talk out in the bay for a minute?" Luka gave Abby a worried look. Usually when she wanted to talk out in the bay, something was really wrong. "Sure." When they got out in the bay, Luka asked Abby, "Whats wrong?" Abby hesitated for a minute, but she eventually blurted it out. "Joe....well....this morning when I was making breakfast, Joe decided to just walk out of the house without my permission, and then he had to give me attitude about it." "Well, is he home now?" Luka asked curiously. "Yeah. Hopefully he stays home. I don't know what has been up with him lately, but he's got new friends, and he's just been dressing and acting differently." Their conversation had to end because an ambulance just pulled up in the bay. "Okay, well, when I get home, I'll talk to him." Abby started walking away towards the ambulance and Luka went back into the ER. "Okay. Thanks Luka!" Dani and Bella are ridding their bikes over to the skate park. They both ride their bikes over behind a tree and hide there when they see Joe. "Oh my god." Dani said. Her mouth was wide open when she was looking at Joe. Bella had the same face as Dani right now. "Do you believe this??" Bella said. "He's......smoking. Mom is going totally freak!" Dani said. Bella put her hand over Dani's mouth. "Shhhhh!!! That was loud! I don't want him to see or hear us because then, well, who knows what will happen. His friends are pretty scary looking." Joe was sitting at the top of the half pipe with 3 other boys, who looked the same age as him. He was smoking a cigarette and they had beer bottles sitting behind them. Joe reached back and took a sip of the one bottle. "He's even drinking beer!" "Yes Bella, they don't really put water in beer bottles, do they? Dani said, being sarcastic. "Well, do you think we should tell mom?" Bella got out her cell phone. "Uhhh....I don't know. We should, because then when they eventually do find out, they'll ask us if we knew, and you cannot lie, so I think we would be better off telling them now." "Oh crap." Bella said when she looked at her phone. "It's already 2:45, we're supposed to be home by 3!" She put her cell phone back into her pocket. Whenever her and Dani went out, they were always home on time, never late. That was one thing that they both hated, being late. "Okay, well, lets get home then." Dani said. It was 4:00, and Abby and Luka were both ready to go home. Luka worked a little overtime because he wanted to get home the same time Abby did so they could have a talk with Joe. When they got home, they walked in from the garage, and saw Dani and Bella sitting on the couch watching MTV. Dani and Bella saw them walk in. "Are you ready to tell them?" Dani said to Bella. "Not really but we really have no choice." Abby walked into the living room with Luka following her. "Hey girls, is your brother still upstairs?" Abby asked. "Well...." Bella said. She elbowed Dani, and they kept elbowing each other back and forth. Neither of them knew how to tell their parents about Joe. Luka eventually said something. "Okay, what's going on here?" He gave them such a serious look, that they knew they just had to come out with the truth. "Mom, I really didn't tell you the truth on the phone earlier." Bella said. "Bella? You, lying? That's a first. Okay, so what do you mean, you didn't tell me the truth?" Bella gave Dani a scared look. It was now Dani's turn to talk. "She means that when she told you Joe was still up in his room, he left about a half hour before you called with his skateboard. And when we went to ride our bikes, we saw him at the skate park." "So he's not here now?" Abby said. "Well no." Dani said. "Oh god, what am I going to do with him!" "Wait, mom, thats not it." Dani was pretty much telling Abby the whole thing. Bella felt bad. She had to say the rest. "Joe wasn't exactly skateboarding there." "So what was he doing?" Abby asked suspiciously. Luka was still standing behind her, looking more serious than ever. "He was smoking and drinking alcohol with 3 other boys that looked about the same age as him." Bella said as fast and as calmly as she could.

Thanks guys!
Everything changes with Joe though really soon! Chapter 9 "WHAT?!?!??" Luka and Abby both said at the same time. They were beyond angry now. They were furious. "We didn't know how to tell you." Dani said. "No, no, we are glad you told us, it's just, oh god!!!! I can't believe this!" Abby said. Luka grabbed his keys off the rack, and stormed out to the driveway. "Wait, Luka!" Abby called after him. "Where's he going?" Bella said. "Probably out to look for your brother." "We're sorry." Bella said. "For what?" Abby was wondering what Bella was sorry about. She shouldn't be sorry. She didn't the right thing. Abby would have been much more mad if they didn't tell them right away. "For lying to you, we should have told you in the first place that Joe wasn't here when we called you." Dani said. Abby sat down on the couch with them and gave them a hug. "You guys did the right thing and I will always be proud of you. I'm proud of Joe, it's just, right now, he's at the point where he's getting older, and he's getting into things that he shouldn't be getting into. Later on in life, he's going to look back on this and really regret it." Abby continued to hug Dani and Bella. "So, your father and I already ate some pizza at the hospital, Morris felt generous, so, how about we go out to McDonald's??" Abby wanted the girls to feel better. They had a hard day, and Luka tends to stress things out, she figured that she should give them a little treat. "Sure." Dani and Bella both said at the same time. "Okay, lets go then." Abby got up, grabbed her keys and purse, and headed to the garage door. Bella and Dani followed after her. Bella got in the front seat, and Dani got in the back. They always took turns sitting in the front. For twins, it was amazing how well they got along. They rarely ever had a fight. As Abby was driving, she was thinking about Joe. Over the past year he has changed so much. Could it have been the first year of high school? She thought to herself. He's done so much to himself. Every time they go shopping for clothes, everything he wants is black, he even put black highlights in his hair last year after Christmas. Luka drove furiously to the skate park. He was hopping Joe would be there but when he got there, it was empty. He got out of the car, and at the top of the half pipe, there was about 12 beer bottles and a bunch of cigarettes were lying all over the park. Well, the girls were right. Luka thought to himself. He got back into his car, and decided to drive into town. Maybe he went with his friends somewhere in downtown Chicago. Luka hoped that wasn't the case, but the way Joe has been acting, it could very well be. When Abby, Dani, and Bella got to McDonald's, they went inside and ordered their usual. They always got the same thing. Chicken nuggets with fries and a coke. Even Abby. Luka always told her to get a salad, which she did occasionally get, but she wasn't really a big fan of them. Once they ordered their food, they went and found a table and sat down. It was silent for awhile, until Bella spoke. "Do you think dad found Joe yet?" "I don't know." Abby said as she took a sip of soda. "If he did, he's probably either driving around giving him a good talking to, or he drove him right home and then had some words to say to him." They finished up their dinner, and decided to head home. This time Dani was in the front and Bella was in the back. When they got home, they pulled into the driveway and didn't see Luka's car there. Abby began to worry. What if something really happened to Joe? She thought. It was now 6:18, and Luka has been driving around Chicago for an hour now. He decided to give up. Joe would be home, but this is just doing no good driving around wasting gas like this. He started to drive out of the city, hoping Joe would be home.

Thanks!! Warning: Some language Chapter 10 It's 8 at night, Dani and Bella are in the living room playing the Wii, and Abby and Luka are sitting at the kitchen table, silently, when Joe walks in the front door. "JOSEPH KOVAC!!" Luka gets up from his chair and begins walking over to Joe. "What's wrong with you? What the hell were you thinking?" Luka and Joe are now staring into each other's eyes face to face and Abby is still in the kitchen, leaning against the table with tears streaming down her face. "What are you talking about?" Joe said very quietly. "I'm talking about the cigarettes, the alcohol, the attitude you gave your mom this morning. What's gotten into you?" Joe tried to walk away and go up the stairs, but Luka stopped him. Dani and Bella stopped playing the Wii, and everyone had their eyes on Joe and Luka. "I've never smoked or had a beer in my life." "Don't give me that bull shit I can smell it in your breath." At this point Dani and Bella were too scared to even move. They never saw their father this mad. "Just go upstairs Joe, you'll be punished in the morning." Joe didn't say anything. He just took his skateboard and walked up the stairs. Luka walked over to Abby, who was still leaning against the chair, crying. Dani and Bella were still standing like statues in the living room. Luka motioned for them to come over to him. They walked over, and they all shared a group hug. The next morning, Abby and Luka both got up at 8. They each had a shift which started at 10. Dani and Bella were already up. They were downstairs on the couch again watching MTV. Abby was surprised to see them there when she walked down the stairs. "Hey, what are you guys doing up so early?" Bella grabbed the remote, and turned the volume down on the TV. "Joe woke us up." Dani said. Luka came storming down the stairs. "Whats wrong? You seem upset." Abby said. "Joe's not in his room." Luka said. "I....I don't know what to do anymore. I don't think talking to him with do this any good." "Well, there's these meetings they have for kids, they're like AA meetings, they're for kids about his age that have trouble with alcohol and smoking." Abby said. "Why do you know so much about AA meetings?" Bella said. "Yeah, your always talking about AA stuff, I mean, your a doctor, not a social worker or anything like that." Dani said. Luka walked back upstairs. "Are you going to tell them?" Luka asked Abby as he was walking up the stairs. Abby bit her lip and shock her head yes. "Okay girls, sit down on the couch." Abby sat down on the smaller couch that was over by the window. I don't know if those meetings are real or not (the one Abby is talking about for Joe), it's just something I made up. Sorry guys, not much excitement in this chapter.
