Chapter 15
Giselle came out of the kitchen and looked at her father," I called Grandma April," she told him. Gage and Beckett had run for their room, not wanting to be there when all hell broke loose. " You're letting Ana put her hands on you, she's not Mommy. That's wrong. You're not supposed to be kissing her or touching her," Giselle told him.
"Go to your rooms!! Now!!" He said firmly.
"No," Giselle said quietly," You need to ask Ana to go home."
He was so frustrated with his daughter right now.
"It's alright joe, talk with your kids! I will be back tomorrow!" Ana said and headed for the door.
"Ana...."Joe said, but she was already grabbing her coat, putting it on. Slipping her boots on to walk out the door of his apartment. He sighed, rubbing his face, and looked at Giselle. " I explained to you that adults make choices, didn't I?" he asked her.
"Well you make... you make... shitty choices!!" She cursed. She heard her dad swear when he was angry so it was only right she could!
"Giselle Mcintyre! Watch your mouth! If anyone has made bad choices it's your mother!"
"Hey, that's my daughter you're talking about!" April said angrily.
Joe ignored his mother in law," I'm not the one who walked out on us. Remember that the next time you try to tell me how I need to live my life. I'm the adult in this! I have every right to make choices I see fit for me. I'm not going to sit here lonely while you're mother is MIA! I earned my life, and as much as I love you, you're the child. You will not tell me what I should and shouldn't be doing. That's my job." He was so pissed off right now, but he needed to make things clear.
"But me, gage, and Beckett should be the most important!! And until we are big and off to college we should be the number one!!! And we are not!!! We're not mommy's number one and we're clearly not your number one!!" She cried and ran to her room slamming the door.
"Joseph, I asked if I could help you after you told me that Bethany walked away. Maybe you should have listened to me," April said and turned, walking out of the apartment.
Joe couldn't believe Giselle's words. The kids were always his number one, that's all he had been doing.
He sighed and headed to Giselle's door, knocking.
"Sweetie, can daddy come in?" he asked.
Giselle did not answer that time. So Joe opened the room door and walked in. She was face down on the bed, with her face in her pillow. He sank onto the edge of her bed," Sweetheart. You are forever my number one. I'm not sure how many more ways I can explain this to you. I like Ana, she makes me laugh, she makes things easier for me. That's what a relationship is supposed to be about, helping each other," he said quietly.
"Even if it makes me sad?" she asked softly, "I just, don't understand why we can't find mommy and make her come home!"
"Because Mommy doesn't listen to me. She never has, I've asked her to do things all the time and she's said no. It's time for us to do this without Mommy," he told her softly
"But I don't want to, she's MY mommy, I just don't understand why she doesn't want me," she whimpered, tears falling down her cheeks.
"I wish I knew," Joe said sadly, stroking Giselle's hair gently," I wish I did. Because I want you, I wanted all of you so much. I was so excited when you were born. I told almost the whole world I was going to have a daughter."
"You did? the whole world?" she asked with big eyes.
He chuckled softly," Well about 3,000 fans yes on a boat. I announced that it was going to be a Baby Girl for me," he told her softly.
"On a boat?! you told them about ME?!" she asked surprised.
"Of course I did. I could hardly contain my excitement about it," he said with a smile.
"That's so fun daddy, I wanna go on a boat.." she said, sitting up and wiping her eyes.
He smiled at her," Well there is a Disney Cruise. So I think that maybe this summer Daddy can get tickets for that."
"Really? DISNEY?! will princesses be there?" she asked.
"I dunno, but maybe we will get lucky and the princesses will be there," He told her. He leaned over and kissed her head gently," So can we agree that Daddy needs to make his own choices now? That he's an adult and what he does with his personal life is about him, because when it comes to you guys I will always put you first no matter whose company I keep."
"But what if you begin to love her..... like you love mommy?" she asked.
"If that happens, we will all talk," he said softly," Right now I just like her. She's good company for me. I need adult company sometimes too."
"Okay, just please daddy, not in front of me yet... it still hurts me too much...." she begged.
"I know sweetheart. I wasn't going to kiss her in the living room. We were just talking," he promised her," I kept my promise not to kiss her in front of you. Now Daddy has to make dinner tonight since you and Grandma April chased Ana away for the day."
"Okay daddy, I am sorry, can I help you?" she asked.
"I'd love very much for you to help," he said with a smile as they got up to go into the kitchen. Together Joe and Giselle made Tacos for dinner. Tomorrow was a busy day for Joe, so he would have to talk to Anabella later.
