I'll Fight Hell to Hold You

Tommy's Secret Trip

Waking up the next day, Tommy slipped out of Paul's embrace and headed to the shower. He stayed in there a long time, trying to get to the presentable looking point. When he came out, he was dressed and had put on a bit of eyeliner. Paul was still asleep so Tommy quietly headed to his car. 

Slowly backing out of the drive way, he pulled out and headed out of town. He had to be extra careful because of his cast. He had a pregnancy test in his glove compartment but hadn't used it yet. When he arrived at his designation, he parked and headed inside. The bathroom was his first stop.                                                                                                                                                                                             _______________________________________________________________________________

Meanwhile at the house, Paul woke up to a hungry cat and four hungry little girls .Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, he looked around for Tommy. Not finding him, he told everyone he'd be down to fix breakfast in a few minutes. Not finding Tommy in the kitchen made him worry. "Hey, I'm going to look for momma so I'll be right back."

Paul sprinted back upstairs to check the guest room. No Tommy. "Maybe he just went out for a bit."

Tommy was waiting when his phone rang. Seeing it was Paul, he sent a quick text telling him not to worry. He added he was busy and would reply more later. He didn't want to tell Paul where he was or what he was doing.

It was almost seven when he arrived back at the, bookstore bag in hand. That was his cover-up story. He wasn't cheating, he just couldn't tell Paul what he was doing yet.

"Hey, sorry, lost track of time. Got sidetracked looking for books." He handed each of the girls a book and a stuffed animal. Looking at Paul. he just smirked and went to the bedroom.
