Chapter 36

JW opened the door and Barbra greeting him with a frown, "Evening Barbra
how are you?"

Barbra raised and eyebrow, "Actually I am doing great, the kids were
amazing again. You have to be doing something right." JW smiled and the
girls ran past him and into the house, Barbra handed over Luke, "Can you
help me with something real quick?"

JW nodded his head and walked outside with Luke in his arms to Barbra's
car, she opened up the back and there were three bags, JW thought to
himself that this must be the rest of the girls cloths. As JW grabbed the
straps and lifted them over his shoulder he looked over to Barbra, she
obviously wanted to say something but for the first time she managed to
keep her mouth shut. JW closed the truck and pushed it locked, "Barbra
what's on your mind, you obviously want to tell me something."

Barbra looked surprised and not ready for JW, she shrugged her shoulders
and threw her hair out of her face, "Well IÉ We are worried about the
kids. Hell we are even worried about you. You have changed so much the past
few months and we just are worried."

JW sighed and didn't say anything, Barbra stared up at him for several
seconds before she continued, "It breaks my heart to tell you this but
Connie is not going to be any help to you any more. She has not been around
the last few days and she is gone and we don't know where."

JW stopped Barbra and looked at Luke, "Well Barbra thanks for the info, but
I want you know that what Connie does is meaningless to me. What is
important is that my parents, you and Pete remain in these kids lives. I
want you to know that you are all ways welcome to visit here, even if its
just for a minute to check the kids, to make sure that I am not fucking up
to much. I know how much what I am doing is scarring you and everyone else
around me. But please don't hold it against these kids. They need you just
as much as they need me."

Barbra smiled and put her hand on JW's shoulder, "Well thank you!"

JW looked back to Barbra, "But I am serious about Connie, she can not be
around the kids at all if she is using. If she gets her shit together, gets
clean and fixes her toxic attitude towards me then she is more than welcome
to be around her children. But not until all three of those things have
been addressed."

Barbra nodded her head and JW knew that it really hurt her to hear him say
it, JW thought about his next statement for a second and wanted to make
sure he got the wording right, "Barbra do not blame yourselves for Connie,
shit happens. I cant say it enough though, you belong in these kids lives,
your good people. Even if you don't like me."

Barbra laughed and slapped her hand down JW's shoulder, "I don't hate you,
just have to understand that Connie was not just lying to you also." JW
nodded his head and Barbra said she had to get going, JW turned and walked
inside.

JW put the bags behind the couch, "Jesus I think Luke gained ten pounds
today. So Leah tell me everything! What happened the past two days?"

Leah jumped off the couch and ran to JW's side, JW handed Luke off to
Marcus, "Hold him I am going to help Leah finish unpacking."

Kira turned in couch and frowned hard, JW laughed, "Leah first and then you
tell me about your day, we will get your room unpacked also!"

Kira cheered and turned back to the TV. JW and Leah walked towards her
room. JW pulled things out of the suitcase; Leah told him exactly where she
wanted JW to put her things put into the dresser and closet. Leah talked
and talked while JW listened and asked simple questions. Almost an hour had
passed and Leah was still jabbering away, JW glanced down at his phone and
knew it was getting late but it was still the weekend so he might as well
let the girls stay up late. After a while JW wanted to tell his daughter
something that he never ounce herd his own father say and something his
mother rarely said, "Leah you realize I am so proud of you and that I love
you so much right?"

Leah stopped talking and jerked her head towards JW, "Well Duh dad!"

JW smiled, "Well I just wanted you to know that I really do love you. Now
finish up and afterwards you go watch some TV while I get Kira unpacked."

JW walked out of the room and Leah ran the recliner and jumped into
it. Kira was sitting couch and flew off the edge when JW called her. JW
picked up her bag and started walking down the hallway, Kira walking behind
him said, "Why does Leah always get to go first?"

JW walked into her room and rolled his eyes, Kira from day one was always a
diva and needed just a little more attention, she was more like her
mother. JW turned to Kira, "You always go second because it lets me spend
more time with you." JW reached down and tickled Kira as she laughed and
kicked on the bed. JW went through the same routine with Kira as he did
with Leah, he moved around the room four times before Kira could decide
where she wanted to put her clothes. After the last bit of clothes were
stowed away JW jumped onto the bed with Kira said, "Kira you know that I am
very proud of you and that I love you a lot."

Kira shocked JW with her next statement, "Mommy said that you hated us and
that you never liked me."

JW hand clenched into a fist and he bit down on his lower lip, "Kira that
is the dumbest thing I have ever herd. God that makes me soÉ Angry!" JW
turned for Kira, if he knew his ex's actual location she would understand
what domestic abuse was after tonight. JW looked back to Kira, "Baby I love
you so much that it literally hurts me when I hear you say that. Please
tell me you don't believe that?"

Kira shook her head, "No I never once thought that you hated me. But you
always pick Leah first, because you like her more."

JW couldn't believe what he was hearing, he grabbed Kira into his arms and
pulled her to his chest, "No baby, it just feels like I pick Leah first. I
will make sure that you know that your just as important as Leah from this
point on. I promise!"

Kira frowned, "What about Luke?"

JW laughed, "He has nothing to worry about, he is a boy and he is the only
boy, not like you girls that think you have to compete with each
other. Trust me when I say I love all three of you more than I could
possibly explain. But enough talk of who I like the most because that is
just dumb. Tell me about your day with grandma and grandpa."

Kira smiled and started talking but JW couldn't help but think of his ex,
Connie had crossed the line, if Connie ever did reappear in their lives he
was going to make sure Connie told the girls the truth.

JW quickly looked back down to Kira who thankfully didn't realize he was
not paying attention, "How was your time with your other grandma and pa,
you know my mom and dad." Kira didn't skip and a beat and started talking
again.

Leah had poked her head around the corner while Kira was talking, JW waved
her into the room, Leah crawled up onto the bed, JW held his finger up to
his mouth keep Leah quiet while Kira had finished telling her story. JW was
sitting in the middle of the bed and his daughters on each side of him,
they were laughing, joking and enjoying their time together.

JW knew that he was going to have to spend a lot more time with his
daughters, JW would tell Marcus that he was going to have to sacrifice more
time together to spend it with his kids, JW wondered what Marcus would
think about that?

JW figured out a time schedule in his head, he promised he would spend at
least two days a month with each girl separated from the rest of the
family, he would also make sure that each two day spread that he was off he
would do something with his girls together, even if it was only for a few
hours.

JW looked down each shoulder and could tell his girls were getting
sleepy. JW laughed and ordered them to the bathroom to get ready for bed,
though the girls objected but wondered into the bathroom with ease tonight.

JW walked into the living room and saw Marcus laying on the couch and Luke
laying next to him. Marcus looked up to JW, "This kid means business when
it comes to sleeping. Obviously I have never had kids but Luke seems to be
the easiest baby I have ever seen someone have to take care of."

JW sat down in the arm chair, propped his legs up on the ottoman, "Luke was
a completely opposite of the girls, particularly Kira. Kira was a nightmare
baby, she needed twenty-four hour care, I think I lost ten years off my
life from lack of sleep with her. Luke though, hell I don't think I have
herd him cry more than a handful of times, and when you put him down for
bed, he is out all night. Forget nap time, he takes naps when he wants and
when he is ready. I never knew of a baby that wanted to be potty
trained. Hell Luke is more independent than me!"

As the girls came out of the bathroom JW told them to head to bed, JW
handed Luke off to Marcus again and tucked his girls in for the night. When
JW was walking out of Kira's bedroom he saw Marcus walk by with
Luke. Marcus laid Luke down, pulled a sheet over him and stood there
looking down. JW walked up behind him and put his hand on his shoulder,
"Scary isn't it?"

Marcus looked to JW, "What?"

JW patted his shoulder, "Having the responsibility of a child."

Marcus sighed, "Actually it is. I don't know how the hell you do it."

JW shrugged, "You just do what you have to, make the sacrifices when you
need to and always forget about the shit you want to do because the kids
have something else that needs to be done."

Marcus turned and walked into their bedroom, JW stood there for a few
seconds and patted his son's head, then JW turned and followed Marcus into
the bedroom.

JW closed the door behind him and leaned up against it, he thought to
himself that Luke was going to kill himself if he tried to get off the bed
and he sure as hell could never get back onto if he did manage to get
off. They were going to have to make something so he could get up and down
the bed a lot easier.

JW looked towards the open bathroom door, Marcus was showering, JW stripped
down his clothes and tossed them in a corner and walked into the shower
with Marcus. JW grabbed Marcus sides and he jumped, he didn't hear JW come
in.

Marcus turned and grinned, "Decided I wanted to bottom instead tonight."
Marcus grabbed JW's shoulders and pulled him to his chest. JW wrapped his
arms around Marcus and lifted his head to kiss him.

JW was already slightly sunburned from earlier, the hot water from the
shower stabbed at his skin, "Fuck you need to turn down the heat in here!"
Marcus turned, turned the water a little hotter and grinned at JW and then
went down onto his knees and took JW's cock into his mouth.
