Chapter 33

Marcus was in the shower and JW was dressed in a black tee shirt, white
cargo shorts and flip-flops, he walked into the kitchen and started to make
two egg sandwiches. Marcus walked into the living room and the smells from
the kitchen were enticing, JW looked over his shoulder at Marcus and saw he
was wearing a dark green polo, light brown cargo shorts and flip-flops.

JW handed Marcus his sandwich, turned off the gas stove and then sat down
with him to eat, "Hey we need to work out today also, missed it the last
time I was off." Marcus nodded his head and took a big bite out of the
sandwich.

Marcus looked around the table, stood up and grabbed two glasses from the
cabinets and filled them up with water, he sat back down, "First off, if
you want to buy the beds then fine. But I am asking you to please let me
buy them."

JW looked up to Marcus and with a full mouth said, "Why?"

Marcus shrugged, "It's the only thing I know that I can do to help with the
kidsÉ"

JW thought about it for a second and shook his head and swallowed, "Look
money is nice but that is not going to help them in any real fashion. The
money makes life easy but they still needÉ" JW paused and looked at
Marcus, "The kids need their father, or I should say even fathers? That is
a thousand times more important than any money you can throw at them."

Marcus heard him say the words and knew what JW was saying but it upset
him, "I know what your saying but I will say you should still think about
it, I mean we don't even have to go any where, I can call the furniture
store, order the beds and dressers, then we can get the girls after school,
have them pick out paint colors for their rooms and we can paint the their
rooms to their own colors. Then we are all happy, your parents can finally
have a room to themselves, the girls can get settled into their own room
and Luke will ultimately have his own also. Plus I finally get to fill the
house up."

JW started to laugh and shook his head, "Well I guess what mother wants
mother gets!" Marcus furrowed his eyebrow and was not happy about the
comment.

JW and Marcus talked in the kitchen until both sets of the grand parents
got back to the house; since they left they were gone almost three
hours. JW watched them all file in, laughing and talking, he thought to
himself that was a nice surprise until Barbra looked up to him and
scowled. JW shivered and looked back to Marcus who was laughing, "She
really does hate you."

They laughed and stood up to walk into the living room, all the chairs were
occupied so Marcus and JW sat on the floor. Luke watched them sit down, he
rolled off the couch and staggered over to Marcus and said, "Dada." Luke
fell into his lap and the comment set off the grandparents, again the
questions about when he started to talk and no they had not heard him talk
before.

Barbra gushed, "He is not even one year old yet and he is walking and
talking, that is not common at all, he must be a baby genius!"

Marcus smirked, rolled his hands across Luke's back and pointed to JW,
"Well those genes definitely didn't come from you."

JW turned to him and angrily said, "Ass!"

Barbra gasped and everyone else started to laugh. Luke crawled off Marcus'
legs, pushed himself to his feet and wobbled off towards the kitchen, as he
went out of sight Barbra got up to chase him down but JW quietly asked,
"Just let him go, he is fine and if he falls he can get up on his own."

Barbra looked frustrated but sat down and looked over the back of the couch
at Luke. The conversation picked up and as expected Luke fell in the
kitchen and he gave a small whimper, Barbra and Donna jumped to their feet,
"Mom! Barbra! Just wait please, give him a minute at least."

This time JW was met with fire in his eyes from the two women. A few
seconds passed and Luke had fallen silent, JW called out, "Luke." A small
voice from in the kitchen said, "Dada." All heads were looking towards the
kitchen, "Luke," "Dada," his voice had moved, he was up and walking again.

Luke came around the island and bounced off the wall and finally staggered
into the living room. Luke fell into the lap of Marcus and started to
giggle, Marcus was surprised but reached down to tickle him, Luke rolled
over onto his back and stopped laughing, "No Dada," Luke rolled out of
Marcus lap, stood up and looked at JW, "Dada," Luke walked up and hugged
JW's arm. When Luke went to Marcus first there was a sharp chill that
filled the room, when Luke realized he made a mistake everyone burst out
laughing, Marcus had a blank look on his face and shrugged.

In JW's opinion it was the first time Barbra actually liked him for even a
fraction of a second. They talked for hours covering a lot of topics, the
questions fired from both sets of grand parents, it was obvious that the
breakfast they shared was filled with concern and more questions
raised. Marcus particularly got grilled, JW wanted to tell them to stop but
knew that this was going to have to happen so he kept his mouth
shut. Barbra went to far once and make a point that since both of them were
abused as children what guarantee that they would not abuse the children
now, but thankfully Pete shut that down quickly, he was visibly angry but
Marcus fired back and said they had to guarantee that their daughter
wouldn't hurt the kids when she was stoned.

After that exchange it took a few minutes for everyone to regain their
composure but Marcus excelled at bringing the room back to life and the
normal line of concerns and questions continued again. JW handed Luke off
to Marcus, he stood up and asked if anyone wanted a drink?

JW was shrugged off and he left Marcus to fend for himself from the
wolves. JW stood in the kitchen and drank his water while he listened to
Marcus work the room, he was impressed at how well Marcus took the
grilling, if it was him he would have broken down and told everyone to piss
off a long time ago.

JW walked back into the living room, "So how long is the interrogation
going to continue? I mean seriously this is getting pretty ridiculous right
now."

Hank nodded his head and looked over to Pete who just shrugged. It was
obvious that Barbra was going to resist this for a long time and Donna
looked indifferent.

JW handed Marcus his phone, "Were you going to call the store and order
stuff for the girls room?" JW shrugged and Marcus smiled, he knows this was
JW's way of apologizing for the interrogation. Marcus climbed up onto his
feet and walked into his office to make the phone call.

JW turned to Pete and Barbra, "Listen, you can hate me all you want and
treat me like shit if you want. But do not ever do that again Barbra,
that's way beyond anything acceptable, you will not treat him like that."
Barbra stood up and looked up into JW's face, she took her finger and
pointed it into his face.

Pete reacted quickly and stood up behind Barbra and put his hands on her
shoulders, "Not a problem JW. You just have to realize that we are going
through a lot right now, after everything that happened with Connie and now
this. But we are more than willing to be polite." Pete turned Barbra and
nodded towards the couch, she sat down angrily and sighed.

JW continued, "Look damn it, I am trying really hard here to do what is
best for the kids. Right now that is complete custody of the kids, I want
their grand parents involved in their life, you are good people. If Connie
can get her shit together I would even concede to some kind of split
custody in the future."

JW just lied but he did so to just put his ex's parents minds to some kind
of ease. Pete did something no one was expecting, "Ok, well look I don't
know about Connie," Barbra looked up to him begging him to stop, "No
Barbra! Look Connie is our daughter and we love her to death and I will do
what ever I need for her, but she is a disaster and has been for a long
time. She definitely just proved she can't be around the kids right now and
maybe she should never be around them again?" Pete paused and fidgeted his
hands, "JW we fully support you in this, not because I think you being with
Marcus is a good thing, I support you because you are great with the kids
and you truly do love them." JW nodded his head.

Marcus walked out of his office and JW looked up to Marcus, "Everything go
ok?"

Marcus nodded his head and he pointed to the bedroom and whispered, "Do I
need to go?"

JW shook his head and waved Marcus over, "Accept it people, this is
happening whether you like it or not." Luke was sitting on the floor
clapping and laughing happily. The stirring of Luke seemed to lighten the
mood in the room and JW bent down scooped up Luke and handed him off to
Barbra.

JW turned to Marcus, "So what are the Leah, Kira and Luke getting?"

Marcus looked stupidly at JW, "What? Oh the bedrooms, big bunk beds, night
stands, dresser and desks for home work. It hit me that we should get bunk
beds, that way we have a lot more options for room and space. When we were
getting your dresser I saw some big queen sized bunk beds so that is what I
ordered."

JW nodded his head, "When I pick up the girls after school today I was
going to swing by Home Depo and have the girls pick out the colors they
want to paint their room."

Barbra and Donna looked at each other and smiled, "Can we help?" They said
together happily.

JW smiled, "Hell I was hoping you guys would offer to do all the painting."

Pete and Hank rolled their eyes, Barbra was excited and it was obvious she
was preparing for the up coming battle of paint. JW looked to Marcus, "When
will that stuff get here?"

Marcus shrugged, "Some time after 8:00pm."

JW shrugged, "Well we could go buy the tape and plastic now, so that we can
tape the room right now and possibly even paint right after the girls get
done with school?"

Marcus smiled, "I am free all day dude, we can do what ever," Marcus looked
at his phone, "Its just a little after eleven now, we could easily get the
two rooms taped up. Are you wanting to do Luke's room also?"

JW shook his head, "No keep his room the way it is, when he gets older he
can pick his own color if he wants it. This is just for the girls."

JW and Marcus went to Home Depo and bought the painting supplies, they
quickly returned and with everyone helping and it only took a little over
an hour to tape and lay plastic in both rooms, it was decided to have Leah
in the bed room the farthest away, Kira in the second and Luke in the
closest room.

Pete and Barbra went back to their house and packed up the rest of the
girl's clothes, Pete promised to bring the rest of their things in the next
few days. By the time the kids clothes were brought back inside it was time
to go get the girls. JW left with Marcus and picked up Kira and then
Leah. As Marcus pulled into Home Depo, Leah looked to JW and asked what
they were doing?

JW explained that he was painting in the house and that he had to grab a
few things. JW didn't let the girls in on the secret until they were in the
paint isle and he explained to them that they could pick any color they
wanted for their room. Leah screamed and immediately hunted down the
brightest pink she could find, Kira on the other hand took the gift to
heart and spent forty-five minutes picking her colors. JW looked to Marcus
who was just laughing his ass off at Kira who worked between fifteen colors
and the Home Depo sales man did his best to help her. Kira settled on dark
blue and purple.

Finally the girls were loaded back into the car and a few minutes later
they were back at Marcus house. The girls shot out of the car and into the
house, they screamed in excitement as Pete had decided to grab another
truck load of their things and bring it to their new home.

Marcus and JW quickly decided to get Leah's room done first, as it would be
the easiest and it only took them about an hour. Hank in the mean time with
Pete taped up Kira's bedroom and started painting her room as JW and Marcus
were finishing the walls in Leah's room. By the time JW and Marcus finished
touch up and a second coat of paint, Hank and Pete were almost done with
Kira's room.

When the guys finished painting the house was filled with warm smells
coming from the kitchen. Barbra and Donna had some how managed to make huge
lunch with no one noticing. The table was spread with steaks, potatoes,
veggies, hot dogs for the kids and even a simple cheese cake. After lunch
the group moved from the kitchen to the back patio, JW looked over to
Marcus, "Damn it we are going to miss working out again!"

Marcus shrugged and tipped back his beer and took a long sip from it. The
girls came outside and started to sit down when JW sat up in his chair,
"Did you have homework?" Kira nodded her head yes and Leah looked at her
with fire in her eyes, Leah turned to JW, "Nope I don't have any!"

JW stood up, "I know you lying right now, lets go get it done real quick
then we can come back out here and visit." Leah protested and finally
folded, JW walked inside with his girls and left Marcus to fend for
himself.

Kira dumped her bag out on the kitchen table and Leah was dragging her
feet, JW looked at what Kira had for homework and laughed to himself in
realizing that she wouldn't have homework she was to young, Kira started to
color. JW worked with Leah on a spelling assignment she had. It only should
have taken twenty minutes but since Leah was fighting him the whole time it
took forty-five minutes. Finally Leah was finished and she stuffed her
books back into her bag, JW grabbed her and pulled her to his chest and
kissed the top of her head, "Leah you got to do well in school. I know home
work really sucks, but you have to do it and I am going to make sure you do
it! Now get out there and bother grandpa." Leah spun on her heals, and shot
out the kitchen door, Kira trying to keep up. JW packed away their
backpacks and put them by the front door.

When JW walked outside he handed out two beers to everyone. He sat down in
the lounge chair next to Marcus and looked around the group, "So I guess
you didn't try and kill him. Did I miss anything?"

Barbra looked up and frowned, "I think I like him more than I like you."
Everyone turned to Barbra, Donna had her mouth wide open; Barbra looked
around the group and gave a smile and rolled her head back flicked her hair
out of her face.

Marcus continued to tell stories and talk excitedly around the group
trading stories, laughing and enjoying the evening as it faded into the
night. Marcus pulled out his phone and tapped it pointing at the time, JW
jumped to his feet, "Girls you need to get ready for bed."

This time both objected with a whine and they dragged their feet as Donna
gathered them up. Pete turned to Barbra and slapped his leg, "You know we
need to get home also." Pete stood up and thanked both Marcus and JW;
Barbra thanked Marcus and stared blankly at JW. Pete and Barbra said their
good byes to the girls and they walked out the front door.

Hank sat there as he heard Pete and Barbra leave, "Jesus that was rude!"

Marcus looked at Hank, "What did I do?"

Hank shook his head and pointed to JW, "What Barbra just did with John."

JW shook his head and laughed, "Well usually she calls me a stupid fucking
asshole, so that was a major improvement over the normal. I am sure since
other people were here she didn't say what she was thinking."

Hank shook his head, "I am about to die right now, and I need to get my ass
in bed. Wish I would have beaten the girls to the shower. Good night boys."
Hank turned and walked inside and disappeared around the corner.

When Marcus and JW walked in Donna had the girls tucked into bed on the
couch, she walked over grabbed Luke, "Why don't you sleep in tomorrow, we
will run the girls to school."

JW shrugged, "You sure? I don't mind."

Donna smiled, "I kind of wanted to anyways, so its fine."

JW nodded his head and his mom walked off for bed with Luke in her arms. JW
walked into the bedroom and Marcus was in the shower, JW stripped down to
his underwear, grabbed his Ipad and climbed into the bed. Marcus walked out
of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist, JW watched him cross
the room, he laughed to himself and realized again how tall Marcus was, it
was easy to forget when he was around Marcus so much.

Marcus bent down and tossed a dildo on the bed and JW grabbed it. JW rolled
his eyes, "Dude my ass is still soreÉ"

Marcus laughed, dropped his towel to the ground and climbed onto the bed,
"That is for me stud, you're going to fuck me tonight!"

JW had a surprised look on his face, "My parents are probably still awake!"
Marcus laughed, crawled over JW's chest and started to kiss him.
