The thing about love. It lasts. Not like a jug of milk in the sun. it rots. when it rots it's nasty and no one will drink it.

This is how I feel with piper. Our son Gray a year and half old. Today was the day.

I adjusted the tie on my suit and pulled my hair back with gel. Gray giggled and tried to copy me.

"Luv daddy!" he hugged my leg and ran off.

"Hey Leo." Calypsos voice hung in the air like air.

"You need something?" I gritted my teeth.

"Offering you a chance. To leave with me." she said.

"I'm not doing it. I don't love you. I love piper." I turned to face her.

"Why not Leo? You remember those times we had." she crossed her arms.

"I gave you all of me and you threw it out. Now I have someone! Just go! Go!" I yelled.

"Dadda?" Grays voice whimpered.

"C'mon gray." I said.

"Dada Scary!" he ran off and I heard his cries.

"You scared your own child off. Nice Valdez." she snorted.

"Your such a bitch. Get out. now!" I said.

She laughed and walked out. I put my head in my hands. C'mon Leo focus. She's in the past.

I started to tear up.

"Leo? it's ok I'm not in my dress yet." Pipers voice said.

"Gosh piper if it's about gray, I feel horrible. Cal-"

"I know. My dad hired her." she said.

"What? why?" I stood up.

"He said he wanted to see how much you loved me. Don't worry I only knew about it for an hour or so." she hugged me.

"Evil. I say." I sighed.

She chuckled.

"He's evil. I lived with him for almost 18 years."
