Hey Everybody! Thanks for clicking on my story. Now your next job is to get comfortable, because this story is about to go there lol. This is my shot at a future fic. It will be starring Sellie and featuring a lovely Jalex and Palex triangle. So with out any further re due, I hope you enjoy Functional Dysfunction. Thanks in advance for reviewing, it really helps me know where I need to improve, and what you did like.

I Disclaim: I have no rights to Degrassi or any of the characters in this story. If CTV wants to talk business however, I'm listening lol.

No Raccoons where harmed in the creation of this Fiction.

Happiness is completely overrated, but for once I think I can be cliché. All of my life, I have felt like I was in the middle of a sick and twisted teen melodrama. My life was a huge joke, a crappy storyline and nothing could go right. I guess the writers had it out for me, I guess that's what happens when a girl is robbed of her childhood, when her family puts the func in dysfunction.

"Func in dysfunction... Ellie, you officially have writers block. I'm never going to get this book done in time if I continue to write crud like this." Ellie stared at her computer screen blankly. Writing this book was her dream; one of her many life goals, and so far it completely sucked to her. She had been working at it for months and was still having trouble finding a consistent flow. This was what she lived for. Writing was supposed to be her thing and so far the most memorable line she had created was, "func in dysfunction."

"Ellie, come to bed. You have been working all night, I miss you." Sean said for the third time that evening as he came up behind his young wife and began to kiss her neck.

"Sean this could be our break, If I can nail this contract. This book, it has to be perfect. I'm trying to appeal to a greater audience here." Ellie rolled her eyes at Sean's attempt to fool around, she had a deadline, what didn't he understand about that.

"Ellie your book will be perfect, ok. Just do what you do you know, write from your heart. You know you are the best writer in Toronto. Besides it's so late, you'll write better in the morning after we have se- I mean sleep." Ellie couldn't help but smile at Sean's lame cover.

"Maybe I should wrap up for tonight. I guess it wouldn't hurt to release a little tension."Ellie said mischievously.

"That's all I have to hear." Sean growled as he picked Ellie up and carried her to the bed.

"Sean, put me down!" Ellie laughed.

"Do you... really... want me to put you down." Sean said between kisses.

"Well, now I 'm not so sure." Ellie smiled as she began to deepen the kiss. She closed her eyes and began to run her fingers through Sean's dirty blond hair. The night was young and Sean bit his lip excitedly as he slowly laid her back on their unmade bed.

"Moooomy, Daaaaady!!! Nooooo dwon't eat me!!!"

"Sean. Sean we have to go check on Mykel," Ellie said between kisses.

"Kelly will be fine baby. Lets let her cry herself back to sleep." Sean said as he pressed his weight against Ellie and began kissing her neck.

"No Sean, it sounds like the monster again." Ellie said trying to resist her desires for Sean as she heard the little feisty red head's cries grow louder.

"Grrr! I guess duty calls. " Sean said as he rolled over off of Ellie, finally giving in to their 2 year old daughter's cry.

"This is the third time this week,"Ellie said with a concerned look on her face. "Lets go in together, maybe we can get her back to sleep faster."

"Be right behind you." Sean said as he screamed muffled into his pillow and rolled around the bed angrily once Ellie had left the room, it was also the third night he was going to have to take a cold shower.

"Moooomy! Daaaaady!"

"Sweetie what's wrong?" Ellie said as she went to pick up her crying daughter.

"Mama, He was gonna eat me." Their daughter said through tears.

"Who was gonna eat you Kelly, I thought daddy made the monster go away last time." Ellie said as she sat down in the lounge chair and pulled Mykel into her lap.

"Na Uh , he come back, he say he eat daddy too, and you too mommy, he eat you too." Their daughter Mykel began to cry harder. She was really scared and Ellie was worried that this was going to become a habitual problem. "Oh baby, shh. It's going to be ok sweetie. Mommy and Daddy are here. We would never let anyone hurt you and certainly wouldn't let anyone hurt us."

"That's right Kelly, I wish some other dude would eat your mommy," Sean laughed as he entered the room catching the tail of the conversation, "I'd kill him."

"Sean!" Ellie threw him a stern look, "Don't say stuff like that in front of her."

"What?" Sean laughed and threw his hands up in defeat as Mykel began to calm down a little. "Ok, we are getting rid of this bad guy once in for all. Now where's daddy's gun?" Sean said as he got up to go search the closet.

"Sean!"

"What?" Sean asked Ellie confused.

"Are you kidding me?" Ellie was in disbelief.

"Oh come on Elle." Sean contemplated his decision for a minute," can I at least beat him with a brick?"

"No."

"Ok, how about a board, with a rusty nail going through it?"

"Sean,"

"Fine, I'll use a bat but that's as soft as I'm going."

Ellie rolled her eyes as she rubbed her daughter's back. "Sean, you need to show her that there is nothing to be afraid of."

"That's it, man you are no fun." Ellie laughed as she passed their daughter to Sean. "Kelly," Sean tickled his daughter's chin so she would look at him. Her face was still puffy and red. "Sweetie, don't cry it's nothing to be afraid of." Mykel sniffled a little as she laid her head back against Sean's chest. "Now where did the monster go when Mommy and Daddy came into the room."

"Out the window." She pointed to were the window was open and the screen had been slightly torn.

"What the... Elle, did you leave her window open tonight?" Sean asked a little worried. Maybe their daughter's imagination wasn't as crazy as they thought.

"I don't remember opening it." Ellie walked over to the window slightly frightened. "I don't remember the screen being torn either." Ellie looked at Sean equally worried.

"I wanna sleep with you Daddy." Mykel was clinging to Sean for dear life.

"Maybe that's not such a bad idea tonight Sean, at least until we can figure out what's going on." Ellie said as she gently stroked her daughter's hair. Sean looked back at the screen worried as they began to make their way back to their own bedroom.

"Yeah Elle, maybe you're right."

THE NEXT MORNING

Dr. Smith to the Neonatal Unit. Dr. Smith to the Neonatal Unit.

Ellie slowly turned away from speaking in the intercom and back to sorting files in her station. She was completely exhausted from the night before.

"Ellie you look like crap," Alex joked as she set a cup of coffee on her friend's desk.

"Thanks, leave it to Alex to tell me what I didn't already know." Ellie said sarcastically. "I didn't get to sleep much last night, Kelly keeps having these nightmares. The funny thing is her window was open last night, and neither Sean or I remember opening it." Ellie said as she took a sip of the coffee. "Eww, Alex black means no sugar. Just how much did you put in this?"

"Beggars can't be choosers Elle. So how do you think her window got open?" Alex asked as a she started her computer up for the day.

"We don't know, but the creepy part was how the screen was torn. I'm sure it was just a raccoon or something though." Ellie pondered the thought for a moment. "Oh my gosh, what if it had hurt her, seriously it could have had rabies or something. We need to get some better locks to put on her window."

"You're freaking out Ellie," Alex rolled her eyes, "Mykel is going to be fine. Sean or Jay probably forgot to close the window last night after they finished painting remember." Alex concluded.

"I forgot they painted the hallway yesterday, but Sean swears he closed the window when he went to tuck her in, we talked about it this morning." Ellie was freaking herself out, she would die if anything ever happened to her daughter.

"You know how Sean is, he probably forgot in his attempt to consummate." Alex laughed.

"What!" Ellie laughed, "I thought people were supposed to consummate at marriage."

"Ha, you can't consummate at marriage if you have been having sex and living together years before that. Hello, you had a 10 month old daughter with you on your wedding day." Alex teased.

"Whatever Alex." Ellie smiled. " Anyway you're probably right. I'm probably worried about nothing."

Meanwhile at the Local Auto Shop

"Well this little stunt is all the more reason we should move in with you guys," Jay laughed as he handed Sean a wrench.

"I won't lie Jay," Sean began as he worked on the transmission of his clients car. "It freaked me a little. I know we are overprotective of Kelly but this is more than being paranoid. I mean how in the hell did my daughter's screen get torn, that's the creepy part. Was there someone there, someone trying to hurt her."

"Ok, Sean unless the guy was 'Spider Man,' he wasn't getting up to her window without you noticing. Sure he could climb in the trees and stuff, but Ellie's old nosy neighbors would have been called the cops." Jay sighed as he leaned on the side of the car they were working on. "You know what I think. I still say that house is to big for the three of you, more people should be there. I mean come on, it has 4 bedrooms."

"We're lucky that Ellie's mom even left it to us in her will. We were surprised considering she wouldn't even come see her own grandchild while she was alive." Sean sighed as he looked up at Jay's expression. "Alright man alright, I get where you are going with this. I'll ask her tonight." Sean looked at Jay as he wiped some of the grease off of his hands. His friend was really having some hard times lately. He couldn't just leave him and his girl Alex hanging. They had always helped each other through a lot and this was no exception."I don't see why she would say no. I mean, you and Alex are practically like family to us, and Mykel loves you guys. I bet you could even have the bedroom down stairs by the kitchen." Sean smirked as he looked up at Jay. "Of course this would mean you have to babysit whenever we ask," Sean laughed. Jay rolled his eyes as he gave the transmission a final glance. The last thing he wanted to do was get in Sean and Ellie's way, but they were the only people he knew that had room. Spinner had a wife and two kids, and Towerz had his daughter and Liberty. Not to mention they were a few weeks away from having a second child themselves. Jay sighed as he closed the hood of the client's car. It will just be until I can get my feet off the ground, he thought to himself. He watched as Sean checked the roster and prepared himself to work on the next car. It beat being on the street and it could work out for the best.

"Come on, what are you waiting for man? They're kicking us out of our place in a few days. Don't worry, we'll pay you guys and babysit or whatever. Just ask her man... tonight!"

Sean shook his head yes as he and Jay slapped five and proceeded to work on the next car. He just had to hope that this would work.

A/N: Interesting? Yes ...Now go on to chapter two. You know you want to! Don't forget to Review.
