CHAPTER 12: TOM PLEADS WITH SYDNEY

Tom walked Abby and then got back and put food in her bowl and gave her some milk. Tom said ok Hanson please try and remain calm and don't go off on your wife.

Tom came in the room. Sydney said "Maddie, Sierra, Tommy look it's daddy"  Tom smiled at her, he bent over Sydney and kissed her, then said "hi my babies."  Tom's eyes filled with tears.

The babies all three always got so excited when they heard Tommy's voice. They would kick their feet and laugh and smile.  Sydney said "I know babies you are so excited whenever you see daddy or hear him huh You know just like when you were in mommies tummy. When daddy would kiss my stomach every  morning and every night and lay his head on my stomach and talk to you babies you would kick kick kick mommy."

Sydney looked at Tom and smiled.  Tom bent down and kissed all three. He said "I love these little miracles Sydney. I have no words to tell you how much."  He broke down in tears.  Sydney said "I know babe. I see it."  He bent down and  kissed them.

Sydney said "Babe can you help me change them, then take them and rock them, and get them back to sleep.  He said "yeah."  They changed them, then Sydney put them all in Tom's lap.  She kissed their heads and then kissed Tom.

She said "I'm going to go check on Abby"  He said "Ok I just fed her."  Sydney said "ok."  She left Tom, then came back in and sat on the bed.

Tom was singing to them, they went to sleep fairly fast.  Sydney said "you definitely have the magic touch with those babies."  He smiled. 

She said "I'll take them and put them back to bed."  Tom watched her.  Tom said "ok let's go finish our conversation, and I promise I will try to not go off on you, and lose my temper. You are married to a hothead though"  Sydney said "yeah Hanson I'm aware of that"  She smiled.  She kissed him.

They went in to the living room.  Sydney said "Tom you want me get you a beer"  He nodded.  She said "Are you hungry"  He said "no actually I feel sick to my stomach."  She said "same"  He said "I hate fighting with you Sydney and I hate it when you are upset and mad at me"  She said "I'm trying not to be. I'm sorry Tom. But you have never talked to me like that and never in that tone and forbid me."

He said "I know I told you I was afraid I'd lose it on you, lose my temper,"  Sydney said "I know. And I can see you're passionate about this, I mean I remember you said you'd give up sex over this cause you weren't backing down"

Tom said "no I won't back down, and yeah if that means you won't have sex with me, then I guess I'm celibate for rest of my days until you agree."  She smiled. 

She said "ok babe I don't want to fight. I love you. I also am not going to let you dictate or forbid me to do something, and I have every right to seek out my father and get answers."

Tom said "I know you do. But I'm asking you to love me enough to not."  Sydney said "ok so explain. Why Tommy.  Why do you feel so strongly about this and are so against this."

Tom said "I told you if this was just you and me I'd take you over there, and I'd end up in jail for the night, but it would be worth it. But it's not just you and me.  I have three little angels in that room, these three beautiful babies."  He pointed to the video of them sleeping.

Sydney said "So because of the babies you can't end up in jail. I get that you don't want to miss time with them even a night, but can't you like just let me go on my own or with Judy and you stay home and be with the babies, that way you won't be arrested.  Tom I can take care of myself ok. I can face him on my own"

Tom said "That's not why. You're not listening to me dammit Sydney."  Sydney said "Tom I'm sorry I know you're upset, I'm upset, but please stop cussing at me, and lower your voice. I don't want you screaming at me. It upsets Abby makes her bark, and then you're going to wake up the babies, and you just got them to sleep. If you can't control your temper then we need to not discuss this any further."
