They Can't Go

Tabitha

Tomorrow's graduation and I've kept myself busy up until now. I tend to the boys. Thankfully Carson's better. Today I'm taking them out by the pond. I lay a blanket out and they lay there enjoying the outdoors while I read but John pulls in. He steps out of his car hanging up his phone.

Oh good you're outside today. I just spoke with Erik and he's on his way home from the school. He said he can help with a shoot today if you don't care?

I shrug uncaring.

Why should I care they're his kids to. At least this way he's spending some time with them but I didn't know you were coming today.

Okay then. We'll just use him for the purpose of the boys. However, I need your full corporation.

I groan and nod.

You know I'll do my part.

Oh, Tabby? Have you got the boys birth certificates yet? You're gonna need them for them to travel.

I frown now getting upset.

No. They haven't came yet. So now what do I do? I think they're too little for passports and they take too long. We're supposed to be leave in a couple days.

He presses his lips together.

Well you could try to force Erik into watching them. That would make him be their father.

I look at him shocked but that's actually a good idea although I don't think he'd do it.

Plus that way I can keep photographing them and you won't have to worry about what a nannies doing while you're busy.

I grin as Erik pulls in at his house then nod at John

Alright I'll try but it's doubtful. He walked out on them so he'd have to step up and I don't see him doing that.

He waves Erik over.

I guess I could set up an account to cover their expenses if he does it.

That's all well and good but don't give him to much money. They're his boys to. Let him pay for some stuff and he'll need papers for the doctor and such.

I grin wondering why.

He's already listed at the doctor and hospital as father so he can take them and so can my mom.

Erik gets closer so I groan and start complaining alerting John so he goes along with it.

I don't know what else to do Devon's can't watching them and mom's working all the time but I have to go. I need to find someone dependable that I can trust to take care of them. Someone who'll let you photograph them and take them to the doctor to.

Erik walks over then stops.

What are you whining about now?

I look at him but John speaks up.

She can't take the boys on tour with her but doesn't know who to leave them with.

He looks back at me then looks at Erik.

Hey... What about you? You live right here and you know Tabby better than most people, and you're great with the boys.

I turn and look at Erik who eyes go wide.

Me? I can't take care of two babies. I can barely take care of myself.

I turn away irritated as John has us sit on the blanket and hold the boys. He takes the shots but I quickly move away afterwards being irritated with him then John looks at the house.
