Later that day Phil Phillips dropped off Connie at the Rehabilitation clinic for the Sugar Addicts. Connie was sad to see that she now had to do this but it was for her own good.
"Hey Phil thank you for taking care of my Millie you and Bubbles have no problem with her staying with you guys while I'm gone?" Connie asked
"Don't worry, Edwards. She will be alright, I've always cared for her like she's my own.She practically is like another daughter to me"
"You better. Really be there for her she seems to be having a hard time" Connie said
"You know I will" Phil said as she leaned in to hug Phil for the last time before she'd see him and her kids again in 90 days, Phil hugged noticing a few tears in Connie's eyes and reached out to wipe them away kissed her forehead in a brotherly manner.
"You knock em dead kid. You're gonna kick that addictions in the fucking ass I know you are. You are strong woman Edwards" Phil said as he broke the embrace as she went to grab her bags.
"I will Bye Phil" said Connie making her way inside the Centre.
"Bye Good luck Connie" Phil said as he watched her make her way in then drove off
"Mmm that's good Auntie Bubbles what is this again?" Millie asked back at Bubbles Amber and Phil's place as she was eating the supper that Bubbles prepared for them.
"It's my cheesy cauliflower tater tots,oven roasted garlic, Parmesan&lemon asparagus and chicken tacos" Bubbles replied
Not long after Phil walked right in the door.
"Hey" Phil said.
"How'd it go?" Bubbles asked as she kissed Phil as he came in.
"Oh just fine she's gonna be home and better before we know it" Phil said as he checked his watch to see what time it was and then went to hug Millie who looked pretty shaken straight still.
"Don't worry you won't dealing with all this alone Okay?" Phil said to her as Millie nodded and smiled as she went into the guest room at their place where she would be sleeping.
"I'm going to bed can you sing me to sleep like you always did when babysitting me?" Millie asked Phil.
"Sure I can kid" Phil said as he followed her to the room as she got under the covers and sat on the edge of the bed as she took his hand.
"Alright what kind of lullaby would you like?" Phil asked as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"Can you sing the song you sang at the karaoke party?" Millie asked
"Oh you mean at that police banquet party that your mom brought you to as little girl? Why sure Let It Be By The Beatles right?" Phil asked as she nodded shutting her eyes snuggling closer laying across Phils lap. Phil thought for a moment while stroking her hair trying to remember the beginning words to the song and took a deep breath and began
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Phil finished singing and turned to see how Millie liked it and got his answer. She was both out cold in his arms along with Bowie sitting on the floor knocked out. Phil lay her down gently and reached over to pull the covers over and stroked her hair one last time and kissed her goodnight.
"Sweet dreams Millie bean" he whispered
