The drive home and the silent treatment was more then I could stand.
I pulled in the drive noticing a cop car and Beth got out and went
in before I could open the door. When I came in Kyra came running in
my arms.

"Daddy." I scoped her up holding her tight in relief.

"Baby girl."

"Oi was on a ferry and Josh was crying. Oi seen a shark daddy." She
rambled on as I put her down. She had that Irish accent.

"A shark, in the water."

"Ahe and a whale. And Auntie Barbie said...."

"Kyra can me and yer da chat." I looked up and seen Charlie. I stood
up and she went off. "Their safe no harm done."

"Where is she?"

"In the living room, Joe." I didn't pay attention as I now went in. I seen
her and my first thought was destroy. Charlie grabbed me and slapped
cuffs on me. "Joe it's for yer own good. Now sit down and listen."

"Where's me wife?"

"Up stairs trying to calm yer son. Joe Barbie's returned the kids
safe and sound. There's no need to..."

"Don't tell me dat. How dare you walk back into me life and run off
with me cubs? You walked out on me. Look at me when I'm talking to
you."

She looked at me with tears in her eyes. "I don't know what I was
thinking I'm sorry." Barbie said.

"Why can't you just stay out of me life? Take these bloody cuffs off
me." I said.

"Only if you promise to behave and listen." Charlie said.

"No. I want her arrested. For kidnapping. Now."

"Joe, I can't." I stormed off still in hand cuffs.

"I want her out of me house." I went off and ended up kicking a few
chairs over in the pool room. I plopped down by the shallow end.
Barbie came in, sat be me and unlocked the cuffs.

"I'm really sorry. I never meant any harm. I just wanted a piece of
yer life Joe. Dat's was all I ever asked. I left when you needed me.
Not just as a girlfriend but as a friend to. I know Beth probably
won't forgive me but I was wrong. I realized it once Josh started
crying nonstop. I went through something I never told anyone and I
shouldn't of ran from you. I should of told you. I was scared. I was
pregnant when I left you."

I looked at her but she wouldn't look at me. "I missed carried
though. Been trying to get through it. Only one person helped me
through it and do you know who dat was?" She looked at
me. "Elizabeth. I always thought the same thing Stormy did about her
expect she was daddy's little rich girl. I was upset with her for
leaving you the way she did and I understand now why she did. I
never seen such love then what you two have and I was jealous. I
knew it was wrong of me but can you find it in yer big teddy bear
heart to forgive me and be me mate again?"

I looked at her and almost fell for it. She pouted her lips to me
and I heard Elizabeth say, "No he can't." I turned to look at her.
Her eyes were the black's color I seen in years. I knew that look
and tone as well.

"Well I think he can speak for himself. Can't you luv?" She put her
hand on my leg and I jumped. When I did I fell in the pool.

I came up wiping the water from my face. Beth and Barbie were eye to
eye. I could see flames dancing around Elizabeth's little firry
brain. "Stop it now. Both of you." I said breaking them up. To my
amazement and shock they both pushed me back in the pool.

I came up and they cursed at me. Then they looked at each other,
laughed and hugged. Then Beth pushed Barbie in the water and jumped
in. I climbed out trying to stay clear trying to figure out things.
That's when I got an awful feeling. Beth was still pissed.

She found Barbie and held her under the water. I grabbed her by the
waist because she was in the shallow end. I dragged her out kicking
and screaming for her to never show her face. Beth was conniving when
it suited her. Should of let her drown her.

She growled and hissed as I tossed her over my shoulder. I went past
Charlie. "I went her off the grounds Charlie." I carried Beth up the
whole time with her kicking and screaming. "You know yer only going
to wake the kids."

I put her in the shower and turned the cold water on. "Sit there and
cool off." She spat a Gallic curse at me. I left hearing Kyra and
Josh cry. I picked up Josh and Kyra got on my lap a bit. I started
rocking both of them in the rocking chair. Josh was on my shoulder,
Kyra was on my lap with her head on my chest and my free arm around
her.

I started sing, 'Miss you in a heartbeat.' as I rocked them. I
never realized how true those words were to me until then. When I
finished Kyra looked at me. "Daddy did you write dat for mummy?"

"Ahe sort of. It was a long time ago baby. But it's how I feel about
you, yer brother, yer sister and yer mum."

"Daddy promise you won't go on tour again." I looked at her big wide
pouting eyes.

"Honey its part of daddy's job. Dat doesn't mean I won't be home to
play with you. It's just..."

"Oi know you love it. Oi love it to." She smiled. She was smart so
smart for her age. I couldn't believe I made her some days. I looked
up to see Beth standing at the doorway with her arms crossed and a
robe around her.

"Kyra bed." She said. Kyra kissed my check and left. I laid Josh
down in the crib gently and put a blanket around him. He was
perfect and everything I ever wanted. I was so thrilled not knowing
if I could get Beth pregnant and then she did on that New Years Eve
we had on the bus.

I went in the bedroom and sat there reading a book. She came in took
the robe off and crawled under the blankets with me. I didn't pay
attention to her just got engrossed in the book. "What are you reading
sparky?"

I looked at her and she was up on her side facing me. "Anne Rice." I
went back to reading.
