Here I am again! Let's hope I can finish this story by the end of the summer. After that I'm sticking with one-shots. At least I won't update late for those.
Disclaimer: I own nada! Which is nothing!!
Inner voice in head: But I have to straighten my hair right now……..
Yeah, whatever
"I told you to stay away from him!" Marley piped in furiously, "I'll deal with him!"
Suddenly pounding was heard at the door. Winnie stood back. The words he said to her still rang in her mind. It was true. He cheated and so did she. She was no better than him. No better.
Marley rushed to the door swinging it open.
"Dad?" Richard said still standing outside. It had started to rain Rich was drenched, but somehow the evil in his voice had washed away with the rain.
"Son, I am disappointed in you!" Marley raised his right hand and slapped his son across his face. Then he looked his son up and down before proceeding to hug him. "I have come to take you home, my boy. I should've a long time ago. I was a bad father. Forgive me."
Suddenly everyone in the cottage excluding the two 'hugging' gentlemen were shocked. They felt like something was missing. They didn't understand, but it was solving their problems quite well.
"Sign the divorce papers and let's leave," Marley suggested bringing him in.
Richard jerked back. "Oh, I see how it is. You're siding with them. You made another deal with my life. How typical. You haven't changed." Richard then made a fist with his hands. Her then lifted his hand to punch his father when Miles intervened.
Putting his hand back down, Miles spoke, "You have overstayed your welcome."
Richard took back his arm and stared in disbelief. "My welcome?" He chuckled. "This is my house. Mine! You have stayed to long. You. All of you get out!"
"Sir, the documents still legally say we own this house. You simply moved into it. Furthermore, none of us want you here. You have forced yourself into our lives. We ask for nothing more than for you to leave." Miles spoke in a calm voice.
Richard was infuriated. He was being kicked out! Again! His wife! His house! It was all gone. The beautiful trophy wife he wanted was taken away. The beautiful peaceful cottage life was taken. He went to punch Miles but his father stepped in the way. Richard looked around the room. He was clearly outnumbered. It was time to step down and leave with some pride.
"Fine," grunted Richard. He took the crumpled papers out of his pocket. Flattening them out he took the pen and signed them. "I leave. Live happy."
With that he stormed out of the room into his study. A rattle of noise was heard and the breaking of a vase. But no one dared to move in the other room. They just stood there in silence.
"I wish you a happy married live for eternity my niece. I shall take Richard Louie Foster home with me." Marley said after a odd silence. He too left the room to pack. Moments later the two men left.
The house remained quiet. The remainder of people in the cottage were left standing, completely in shock. It took a while for the events to finally settle in. Everything was so fast.
All the while, the rain continued outside.

Jesse was the first to move. He snaked him arm around Winnie and kissed her. She was next returning his kiss.
"Well, I guess that's the end of that, Tuck" Mae stated walking to look over the divorce papers even if she couldn't read.
"You better get this process over with, because you to have a wedding to plan." Tuck said joyfully.
The evening's chatter was soon filled with preparation for the wedding. It would be grand and in their special place and only family.
