Riley smiled, "if you get in trouble we will deal with it, but let me teach you." he said as he looked at his son.

Crispin nodded and hugged his father. "Thanks dad..." he whispered and smiled gently. Sai smiled and stroke her boy's cheek gently.

Riley smiled and hugged him back, "no problem, just tell me when you want to start." he said as he looked at him.

"Well now would be fine...unless you're busy..." he said quietly.

Riley chuckled, "never too busy for family." he said and stood up. "now lets head outside and let me teach you."

Crispin smiled and nodded as he stood up. "Try to be careful you too...I don't want any of you getting hurt." said Sai gently.

Riley smiled at her and kissed her head, "dont worry, we will be safe." he then lead the way out of their and to the front yard

Crispin walked out to the front yard with his father and looked up at the sky, shielding his eyes from the sun.

Riley smiled at him, "now then, I am just going to teach you the basics of fighting." he said and then got into the first stance, "this is where you can fight from and block attacks from." he said and did a few punches. He then looked at him. "now you show me."

Crispin quickly turned his attention to his father and watched carefully. It looked easy enough. Crispin nodded and got into the stance and then tried some punches just like he had seen.

Riley watched him and moved his hand a little when he punched. "that is good." he said and then showed him how to block.

Crispin smiled and continued to practice these things with his father outside. Inside, the three girls were thinking of what to make for dinner. "Why don't we go out to dinner mommy?" asked Elizabeth. "That costs money though sweetie...but could ask your father and see what he thinks about the idea." she answered.

Riley smiled as he watched crispin practice and could tell he was a natural at this. He then wondered what they should do for dinner and then remembered something he knew that sai would be happy too hear. "you conitnue practicing, I am going to talk to mom for a bit." he said and headed inside. When he saw sai he smiled and wrapped his arms around her, "I had forgotten to tell you something." he said as he looked at her lovingly.

Crispin stopped and looked at his father. "Oh? Umm...okay then..." he said and watched his father leave before he continued to practice by himself. Sai looked over at Riley and smiled. "What is it you forgot to tell me?" she asked quietly.

Riley smiled at her, "I forgot to say that my boss is giving me a raise." he said softly and knew that she would love to hear that.

Sai gasped and hugged him tightly. "Really sweetie?!" she asked and kissed him deeply. "I'm so happy for you!" she said and smiled. "I love you so much Riley..." she said and stroke his cheek and traced his face happily. "You really deserved that Raise love, you're a really hard worker." she whispered and kissed him gently.

Riley smiled and nodded as he hugged her back and kissed her back. "I love you too and I am happy for the family." he said as he leaned into her touch. "I was thinking that maybe we could go out for dinner to celebrate. What do you think?" he asked her softly and kissed her back.

Sai smiled and looked into his eyes happily. "I'm really proud of you love..." she whispered and smiled. Sai listened to what he said and smiled. "I'm sure we would all love that." she said to him and nodded.

Riley smiled as her and kept her close, "you and the kids and pick where we go for dinner." he said to her softly and kissed her head gently.

Sai smiled and stayed close to Riley. "Why don't we go to that Italian restaurant?" suggested Annabelle. Elizabeth nodded. "I bet the food is really good!" she said.

Riley smiled when he heard them and nodded, "that sounds perfect to me." he said and hoped that Sai would like the place.

Sai smiled. "Italian food?" she said. "Sounds interesting..." she said and nodded. Crispin soon grew tired and sat down under a tree to rest while he waited for his father to return.

Riley smiled, "then italian it is, let me go get crispin." he said and headed outside. When he saw him sitting he smiled, "hey, how would you like to go out for dinner?" he asked happily.

Crispin yawned and was currently looking up at the sky happily. He looked over at his father and nodded. "Food sounds perfect right about now..." he answered.

Riley smiled, "then come inside so we can get ready." he said happily.
