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.
