My Heaven And My Hell

Jenny Is Home 5/6/05

Nikki's POV

Yesterday after school my ex wife and my sweet current wife decided I needed all my children under one roof and dropped them all off. All went well till this morning and the electric went off and so my alarm didn't. So I rushed to get everyone ready for school. As I rush around I wonder how I'm gonna get them there. Charlie lets me suffer for a moment and then grabs a set keys off the hook in the kitchen.

"Here." He hands them over. "The Horde Mobile." We walk to the garage and I come face to face with a fifteen passenger van. Well this solved the problem.

Now back at the house I open the door. I smell coffee and breakfast. Jenny is home early. Taking a seat at the table I watch her busy herself at the stove. She quickly pours me a cup of coffee and returns to cooking.

"How was your visit? I ask as I put cream in my coffee.

"Once she started feeling a little better we did have a good time. How did you manage?" She asks smiling.

"It went great. It was fun especially after all the kids were dropped off." I answer and smirk. "What can I say I'm super dad."

"Well super fertile anyway." She giggles at me as she sets the table.

"Is that a compliment or an insult." I chuckle. I wish I could talk to her about what I found. I don't want her to think I was snooping though. We sit to eat and talk quietly. Jenny had just stood to place the dishes in the sink when something crashes through the living room window and into one Jenny's curio cabinets.

"No no!" She cries. I stop her before she runs barefoot across the glass. In the mess lays a broken porcelain urn.

"I'll get it Jenny." I crunch across the glass and gently pick it up. Poe and Stoker are barking wildly at the sliding glass door. I take a look and see a tall male climbing over the fence. I call the dogs as I make my way by to Jenny. Ushering her back to the table I place the broken urn in her hands. I pull out my cellphone and call the police.

"They will be here soon Babe." I tell her.

"Ok." She whispers. I have a feeling I know the answer but I have to ask.

"Jenny who's ashes are these?" She looks down at them and then at me.

"Our baby." She says softly tears sliding down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry I failed him."

"Jenny look at me" my hand goes to her chin gently lifting her face. "It wasn't your fault. Tomorrow if you want me to come? We will go pick a new urn."

"Yes I would like that." She answers in a quiet voice."

"Let's get you upstairs. You need to rest." She begins to protest but I insist and for once she decides not to argue.

As I come downstairs to greet the cops. I chuckle to myself I never know when she's going to stand her ground. I guess it keeps it interesting.

After the cops leave I begin to clean up. Noah is coming to help with the curio it's trashed. Repair men are coming to fix the window. Everything will be put to right before the children come home. Cussing out loud I continue to pick up broken glass. I can't believe this shit we can't catch a break. It was a brick that came through the window. Whore was written on it in red paint.
