Blue Waters Ahead

Family Dinner?

Roger Steele
I found out that Anastasia can't let me see the kids this weekend, because she was invited to a dinner and the kids want to go with her. I ask who is giving the dinner? She says Grace and Carrick Grey. I ask if I can come as well.
Anastasia
Absolutely not, you are not welcome at all. You can't even tell women at the park you have four children. You are having them call you Roger and not dad or daddy. Someone that lies about being their father doesn't need to be their father. Why not just sign your rights away and get it over with. You don't support them anyway and you left us to starve you and Charlene didn't care about the people you left to starve to death. A father would never do that to one child much less four children. So no you will not play happy family with us in front of the Grey family. When we know you left us to die. You should just sign away your rights, because you don't even want to be called dad, daddy or father by your own children. They cry when they get home from seeing you saying you are ashamed to allow them to call you anything but Roger. Just give them to me, you haven't paid a dime of child support for them from day one. I have to go this conversation is making me ill.
Roger
She hung up on me, I am going to keep my rights to my children. I just hope she doesn't sue for child support. After this conversation there is no doubt she will. She isn't that person I married so long ago. I could talk her into a lot, her dad hated me, I hate me for not measuring up to her father. If she knew I caused his death, she would make me pay for it. He and I had a big fight and it got to blows. He caught me cheating on Anastasia and I tried to stop him from telling her. We threw punches and during the fight I shoved him and he hit his head on the fireplace mantel. I left him there. He was found by Anastasia after she tried calling him and he wasn't answering his phone. No one knew I had went over to see him, they thought I was still on my shoot. He caught me with one of the other models in a very compromising situation in the men's room at the restaurant we were at. So I begged him to not say anything to Anastasia. He laughed and said this was the nail in my coffin as far as staying married to his daughter. I followed him to his home and barged inside after him. And he died of injuries from me shoving him into the fireplace mantel.
Carrick
Anastasia asked how hard would it be to take Rogers rights away from him as a father who hasn't paid his child support ever. Plus he refuses to let them call him dad, daddy or father.
Anastasia
It hurts them, they cry and he only tries to use them to pick up single woman like he tried with Mia. Prescott told me he tried to pick. Is up using my children. I guess Prescott called Christian and he called Mia and gave her a heads up about who he is.
Carrick
I am very glad she was warned about him. I will see what we can do about this, but we are kind of stuck. But give me some time to find a way. Luckily he doesn't have them unsupervised. Prescott was a great choice to handle him though. She will get on his last nerves.
The dinner party
Anastasia
I bring in Stella, Laura, Raymond and Robert Ginny is beside us. Grace greets all of us, Gail and Jason are here as well. Christian and Elliott will be here soon. Mia is here somewhere. Carrick has something he needs to chat with me about later. I hope it is what I asked him about earlier.
Madison
Wow she isn't the same young woman on the video, but she still looks so thin. We meet her and Ginny her children's nanny. Theodore whispers, she is single now.
Theodore
We have two single grandsons and we would have built in great grandchildren. I would love that and so would you. Christian would be perfect for her. See how beautiful her children are and she would make beautiful babies with Christian as well.
Madison
Hush up old man.
Grace
Marrying my son off are you dad?
Madison
He is trying to. Glad she ignored a lot of that. Elliott enters with his date Kate Kavanagh. Oh crap that girl is annoying as hell. She has Anastasia cornered asking her to give her an interview or even allow her to write a book about her story.
Anastasia
No thanks Kate, I don't want my kids to know about any of it if I can help it. Please don't bring it up again. My children need peace and that is not a peaceful even in their lives and they don't need to go through anything that reminds them of what happened and nearly happened in their lives.
Elliott
She said no, now let's enjoy our dinner it's time for us to go eat. Christian walks in and he goes and stands between Anastasia and his grandma. He guides them into dinner and tells the children to follow them. They do so smiling up at him. You would think he was their father the love they have in their eyes for him. Even grandma noticed it. Grandpa followed them into the dining room. Anastasia, Christian, and Ginny were placed next to the youngest children and the older boy they had sitting by grandma. She loved it and so did grandpa. Well the babies have my grandparents and I suspect so has Anastasia.
Mia
I can't believe how Anastasia has effortlessly charmed my family without any effort to do so at all. She is who she is and makes no apologies and doesn't need to. Gail is not an easy push over and neither is anyone in our family. Anastasia only needs to give a look at her children and they settle down. It is a raise of an eyebrow, but it says it all. I like that move, I think I should practice that eyebrow move. Christian does it as well. Wonder if she has always done it or has learned it from him. I laugh out loud and mom asks me what I was laughing about and I told her that Christian and Anastasia has the same eyebrow move to convey a silent message to others their displeasure. They have no idea they are doing it though. I found it funny.
Christian
An eyebrow move?
Gail
She is right you do both do that I noticed and it says so much to others. It differs in what you want to convey.
Taylor
I have noticed you both use the same eyebrow and what each move means. Christian raises his brow in the please go on and stick your size thirteen shoes further into your mouth.
