I'll Fight Hell to Hold You

Working On The Play Garden Part 1

Paul had quickly jumped on board about designing a play garden for his family. He had several sketches ready to show Tommy and the girls. He had come up with a design for four play houses- each one suited to his daughter's individual tastes. "We better add four more for the Mensinger-Simmons brood." laughed Tommy.

"Okay. How we add one for us too." said Paul.

"This project will be a long-term one then." "Oh wait, I know someone that builds these things for a living. Do we want me to call?" asked Tommy.

"Let me finish the designs then and you can call." "I do want to add a connecting roof or overhang in case of weather." 

Tommy looked over the designs as Paul sketched them out. "I like these. The girls will love them." "I like how they wrap around the trees and you can see the flowers through the windows and roofs."

Paul finished the sketches while Tommy made lunch for everyone. "Oh my lord! You made Gene and Eric's near the Demon's Blood roses" exclaimed Tommy as Paul laid down the final sketch.

"I put ours between the purple and blue roses. I know how soothing they are to you." Paul leaned over and kissed Tommy gently. They began to get a bit heated until the doorbell rang. "Damn!" swore Paul under his breath as he broke away from Tommy. 

Tommy snickered as Paul kept muttering under his breath as he headed to the door. "Hey Eric, what's up?"

"I have to take Gene to the e.r. Could you guys watch the kids for awhile?" "Geneie broke his finger when he shut the door on it."

"Yeah, bring them in."

As the four bundles of energy ran in, Tommy rolled his eyes. "I'm surprised it's not Eric going for something."

"Me too." called Paul as he herded the eight outside. "I'll help you make more food in a few."

"I got it .You play baby sitter."

Tommy finally managed to carry all the food outside and set it up on the blanket Paul had laid in the grass.
