The Backbone

Chapter 32

Adams POV

As I watched Anthony walk out the back and sit down next to Tommy, I hear Tim say to me "mate he will talk to him and get it out of him". I nod my head and grab my coffee plus Tommy's and carry them outside just in time to hear Tommy say, 'I know he can find better and maybe he has I don't know'.

I put my coffee on the table near the pool and think to myself lucky Edna is not here. I don't want her to hear her father talk like that. I know I won't find anyone any better than my husband. My husband is my life but how do I let him know that. He won't listen to me.

I hear Tim come up behind me and put a plate of biscuits on the table for us then he says, "babe coffee is on the table do you and Tommy want them there"? Ant turns to him and says, "please babe". I grab Tommy's coffee off the table and say, "here mate I will take them". Tim passes me Ants coffee and I take them over to the pool. I hand them their coffees and lean down and press a kiss to the top of my husband's head. I say to him "I love you babe". Tommy nods his head but doesn't say anything. I walk away from them and I hear Ant say something to him, but I don't pay much attention as my eyes were drawn to the coffee table where my coffee was but no longer. I look up and see Tim with it in his hand and he gulps it down. I yell out to him to put it down, but he doesn't he just runs and starts laughing.

I say to Tim hey you little bastard you can make me another now. He stops and looks at me and says no way. I start off as if I'm walking but I break out into a run to try and get him. I corner him just near the pool and I can see Ant looking at us and he just laughs as I grab him and push him in the pool. Tim comes up and says, "oh you will get yours Lambert". Ant turns to me and says, "what did he do"? I look at Ant and say, "he drank my coffee the bloody giraffe". Ant cracks up and says to Tim "well you just got your babe". Tommy can't help but laugh at us and man that laugh just gets to me. I love his laugh and to hear that again after about 2 months is music to my ears. I have missed my husband so much while I have been writing songs and also organizing my tour with Queen again for next year. Tommy doesn't know that I am touring with them again and he also doesn't know that he is coming with me. After what happened on X factor, I am not leaving him again not for as long as 2 weeks at a time. I barely made it through the first 2 weeks that he was gone. I am keeping that a surprise but it's not until February next year and Edna no longer has school so she can come with us or she can stay here. I have already spoken to Tim about it.

As Tim drags himself out of the pool, I think back to what he was saying about marrying Ant in Australia and I think I might do the same for Tommy.

We had our 5-year wedding anniversary 2 months ago, but we couldn't celebrate so I will organize to renew our vows when Tim does for Ant.

I follow Tim as he walks inside, and I say to him "mate can I have a word with you when you have finished"? Tim says, "yeah just let me get changed, I will meet you in the office". I nod my head and make my way to the office. I sit down behind the desk and just start to think over the plans.

Tim walks in and says, "what's up mate"? I say to him "when I took the coffees out, I heard Tommy say to Anthony that he knows he can find someone better and for all I know he could have. I have been thinking about what you said, and I was wondering if you minded if Tommy and I renewed our vows the same time you and Ant do"? Tim shakes his head and say "no mate I don't mind I think it's a good idea. Tommy will love it. We just need to organize it all when they are not here". I nod my head and say yeah but how will we get them out of the house at the same time"? Tim thinks for a bit and says, "leave it with me". I nod my head and say, "ok then will do".

I walk out of the office and towards the back yard to see my sexy glitter baby. I walk out and see them still sitting there but this time Ant is comforting my baby. I need to get this out of him. I think I will also tell him about next year. I can't lose my husband I love him too much.
