The One That Got Away

5. Paper Window Panes...

Dave's Point Of View

"Are you crazy?" she asked me as she walked away and put a bathrobe on. She still had that tattoo.

"No I'm not. I'm serious. I want us together as a family now that we have each other again. I know you have to talk to Jake about moving Alex but I want all of us. I got girls his age," I replied. She looked down at the floor before looking back at me.

"I don't have to talk about moving Alex with Jake. Jake died from a brain tumor 2 years ago. I just don't know what the hell to expect what with our son being your twin," she said. I didn't know about Jake and felt bad.

"We'll deal with it when we have to. Please Brittany. Come home with me and be with me," I said as I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her.

"I'm scared of what could happen. We kept us private while Nirvana went crazy and no one knew til you divorced "Jennifer." You never said anything about the kids to anyone either so there's another bad tabliod story there. Are you sure?" she asked. I knew from the look on her face that she was scared out of her mind. Her mind was also going a mile a minute thinking of everything.

"I'm sure. I can handle anything that comes our way. Just ignore whatever they say because I love you and I want our kids and Alex with us in LA. I will move the god damn mountains if that's what it takes to get you to say yes," I replied.

"We have to talk to the kids and they might not want to leave. Eric has a girlfriend. She's not good enough for him but he's got one. Lynette has a job and couple of boyfriends," she said.

"I don't need to hear about my daughters love life thank you," I responded with.

"You want them to come you go talk to them in Alex's room. This was your idea and if all 3 say yes then I will happily go. Tell Abby and Taylor I'm having a quick shower and I'll be right out please?" she asked standing up on her tippy toes.

"Ok. I'm sure they'll say yes. I love you," I said after I kissed her. She pulled me down for another kiss and tangled her hands in my hair. I was still surprised how much of that spark we had was still left.

"Ok go talk to the kids. You're turning me on dman it," she said as she pushed me away gently.

"I can devour that pussy right now and fix that," I said as I started towards her again. She turned and ran into the bathroom. She closed the door and locked it before I got to it.

"I gotta get ready. You can do that later. I won't say no," she said. I could hear the smile in ehr voice.

"I'll hold you to that. Have a good shower," I replied before walkign out of the bedroom and heading towards the living room where everyone was.

"Hey can I speak to all kids in Alex's room please?" I said. Eric, Lynette and Alex stood up and walked to his room. Abby and Taylor gave me a funny look. "Britt's showering quickly. She'll be out soon."

"Why do you need the kids?" Taylor asked me.

"I need to ask them something serious. Just give me some time. I get 3 yeses and I get my woman back," I said. Abby shooed me away and Taylor nodded in response. I headed back towards Alex's room, which was Britt's orginal room. I walked in and saw Eric sitting in a chair and Lynette and Alex on the bed.

"What's up uh dad?" Lynette asked weirdly.

"Your mom says I need to talk to you guys about you all coming and living with me once I find my own place. I love your mom and I never should have let her go. I want us to be a fmaily again. I don't want to miss another minute with you guys. I understand you guys have friends, jobs and boyfriends and girlfriends here but whenever you wanna come back and visit them, you can. I can get you guys jobs if you want or you can find your own or go to school. Whatever you want I'll help you with. I love you guys and want you with me. Will you guys please move to LA with me?" I asked. They all stared at me for bit and then Eric and Lynette looked at each other.
