"Clover Ray, I already told you that it's dangerous!" James exclaimed

Clover looked up at him before returning her attention to the big tree in front of her

"But daddy!" She whined

"No! Climbing that thing could leave you hurt, I'm not taking that risk" He said as he stood firm on his decision

James looked away to tell the crew where to place the equipment when he suddenly heard a smack

He snapped his head back to see Clover smack down on her back

She started to wail causing him to run over to her and scoop her up

She cuddled into his chest as she cried

"Shhh it's okay baby, your alright just knocked the wind outta ya self" James said slowly rubbing her back

"You see why I told you not to do it?" He asked

She nodded continuing to cry, Cliff ran off the bus and straight to her

"What happened to my poor little baby!" He exclaimed frowning

"Climbed the tree after I told her not to, fell and knocked the wind out of her self" James told him

Cliff reached for her, taking her from James's embrace

"Come here baby, Uncle Cliffy's here" the tall man reassured her, hugging her close to him

She shoved her face into his neck as she cried

The two boys walked with her to the bus, walking up the steps and closing the door behind them

Kirk snapped his head in their direction when he heard Clover bawling

Cliff sat down across from the Fluff ball and Dane, cuddling the little girl closely to him

"What happened?" Lars asked confused

"She fell out of a tree.." James mumbled

"Ouch!" Kirk said grimacing, looking at the tiny human

She rubbed her red tear-stained eyes, and looked up at Kirk

He smiled softly at her, noticing Clover start to reach over for him

Cliff gently gave her to him, feeling a bit betrayed but that was besides the point

Kirk sat her on his lap and gave her gentle cuddles

Not long after she feel asleep in his arms, feeling safe at last...

James walked over to the fridge and got a few beers out for everyone, before sitting down next to Kirk

"James, you got some mail here.." says their manager handing the tall blonde some envelopes

He grabbed them and opened them, reading one before he slammed his fist down.. luckily not waking up the small girl in Kirk's arms

"Dude.." Cliff Said frowning pointing at Clover

"That fucking bitch.." James mumbled feeling his blood boil

"What?" Lars asked confused

"That fucking bitch is trying to say I abuse Clover.. and is trying to put her up back into a custody battle.." James grumbled

"But I thought-" Kirk started

"Yeah well they're about to put Clover into state custody for now.." James said pissed getting up from the table and picking up a chair and throwing it across the bus

"State custody?" Lars asked again.. confused

"Meaning James no longer has custody over Clover.. the state does.. which means this is bad.." Cliff sighs rubbing his forehead

"I swear to god I'm gonna kill her.. I'm gonna fucking kill her. I don't care if I go to jail. She's gonna fucking die!" James screamed opening the bus door and stomping out

Cliff got up to go after him, leaving the two others with baby Clover

"I wish he never met Jess.." Lars mumbled

"Yeah but.. Clover wouldn't be here if they never met.." Kirk replied

The Dane nodded "it's about the only good thing that came out of that relationship.."

Kirk hummed softly, sort of tightening his hold on Clover..

He loved the little girl, as though she was his own

Not a lot of people know, but when James was too drunk to even realize he had a daughter.. it was Kirk who took care of the tiny baby

Kirk basically raised her.. that was till James got his shit together and now doesn't drink as nearly much as he used to..

"There has to be something we can do..." Kirk mumbled staring down at the table

"Wait.. why don't we just testify for James?" Lars asks

"Your right dude! That might be the smartest idea you have ever came up with" Kirk exclaims

Lars deadpanned "shut up fur ball."

James and Cliff come back in and plop down on the couch

"Look I'm sure the judge will see this and automatically deny it to be taken further, you remember what he said! He wouldn't have put Clover in your care if he thought you weren't a fit and safe parent.." Cliff explained to the blonde

James nodded and sighed "your right.. it's just.. that's my little girl and this woman is doing everything in her power to take her away from me"

"I'm sure she'll back off after a while.. don't worry about it dude!" Kirk exclaimed

Clover then started to make a cartoon like snore noise while she slept, making all the guys start to silently laugh...
