Chapter 47 - $.

Rose and Craig arrived home almost 2 hours later. She placed her jacket on the rack while Craig held the door open for her. She leaned in, kissing him and smiling at him.

"That was a really good dinner, babe." Rose smiled. "It was good that your friends didn't have to see me drunk when we went out this time."

"Anytime, babe." Craig said, kissing her neck as he held her waist.

"I wonder what the girls are up to." Rose cheered as she made her way upstairs. "VIOLET!"

"Oh shit." Craig gasped, forgetting that Nicholas was watching the kids.

Rose walked into their bedroom and cut on the lights, only to see Nicholas placing a blanket over them in their cribs. Rose scrunched her eyebrows at him, watching him turn around and look at her in disbelief.

"Uh..." Nicholas gasped.

"What the hell are you doing in my fathers house?" Rose barked, walking close to him. "Get the hell away from my girls!"

"Rose! Rose!" Craig said, jogging upstairs and into the room. "It was my idea! I asked him to watch the girls for us."

"You told me that Violet was watching them, Craig!" Rose shouted. "Why did you leave my kids with him?"

"I left my kids with him because I feel comfortable doing so, Rose!" Craig shouted back at her.

"Those are MY kids as well, Craig!" Rose yelled. "If I don't feel comfortable with it, then it shouldn't be negotiable! What if he put some type of poison in their drinks?"

"Really, Rose? Seriously?" Nicholas said in a loud tone. "Even WITH my history, what in bloody hell would make you think that I would kill a damn baby?"

"Don't try to pull that card like you're not capable of doing it." Rose snarled at him, looking him up and down. "You're a murderer."

Nicholas couldn't believe that Rose actually thought that he would kill or harm a baby. He shook his head and walked out of the door.

"There's still a lot of good in you, Rose." Nicholas said in a low tone, walking out of the front door and shutting it.

But with all of the shouting and yelling, Caylee started to wiggle a little out of her sleep.

"ah." Caylee peeped, squinting her eyes and yawning.

Rose started to rub her stomach so that she'd fall back to sleep. Caylee opened her eyes and seen Craig and Rose, smiling at them while she struggled to keep them open.

"Hey little boo boo." Rose said in a baby tone, leaning close to her. "Did I wake you up?"

"Rose, you need to let up a little on Nick." Craig said. "Being angry with him isn't going to solve anything. "Remember what your father told you."

"Whatever, Craig." Rose said as she placed Caylee's pacifier back into her mouth, shifting her back to sleep.

Rose wasn't listening to him or Violet. Her father was gone and she wasn't getting him back. The damage was already done. Meanwhile, the Coach had returned home from a long day of work. He sat down on the couch, took off his hat, then ran his fingers through his faded brown hair. It was thinning because he was stressed out. Just when he thought that he could get some sort of rest, his home phone rang out in his home.

"Hello?" The coach answered.

"Hey dad." His oldest daughter answered.

"Oh hey Brit." The coach cheered. "What's up?"

"Nothing. At the hospital with mom." Britney said in a bummed tone. "She's back here. Again."

"Again?" The coach growled, running his hands down his face.
