Since Maggie had announced that she would be visiting her mother for the day, Caleb had decided to take the day off from work. Spend some time with Garth and baby Derek. All in all, he was looking forward to a quiet day with his family ( Read more... )

Arriving at the door, he unlocked it and lead Sean inside. Taking the key off his key-chain, he tossed it to the man. "Like I said, it's not much. But it's ( Read more... )
