Lucy James drama! This is a continuation from reunion of sorts. Please review!

Emmy is 11, the triplets are 6, Kylie is 4 and so are James' twins.

It was midnight and I was trying to pay some bills while the rest of my family was sleeping. Dani and I didn't have problem with money anymore because the market was doing so well. There was a knock on the front door and I was a little scared to answer it. Nobody ever came over this late. I slowly opened the door to reveal James and his twins.

"Hey guys, come in." James looked like he was going to explode and the twins look exhausted.

"We…I just needed to get away." He mumbled and I nodded.

"Why don't you guys go to bed in the playroom." I suggested and they sleepily walked in there and laid down. There was a couch in there and when Emmy had friends sleep over they would camp out in there.

"What happened?" I asked.

"She came home from a business trip and yelled at me because the house wasn't clean enough. She yelled at the twins for not being in bed when she came home. She called me a bad dad." He said and I could tell he was going to cry.

"Let's go to the kitchen and I'll make some coffee." I headed in and he followed.

"What's going on here?" Dani asked.

"James needs a place to sleep. Bridget and Troy are in the toy room."

"Are you okay James? I can leave if you want so you can talk to Kendall alone."

"Stay." He said and she sat next to him and grabbed his hand.

"She's pregnant." He whispered.

"congratulations." I said but he shook his head.

"It's not mine."

"She cheated on you?"

"We haven't had sex in months. After everything we went through after the twins were born…" he trailed off. After the twins were born Lucy had gotten pregnant but she got a promotion and decided it would be best if she got an abortion. James didn't want it but she went and got one anyway.

"Do you know whose baby it is?" Dani asked.

"I think it is Dylan's from her job. I can't believe she would do this to me."

"How'd you find out?"

"I found a sonogram in her purse. She's 4 months pregnant."

"Did you confront her?"

"Yeah, tonight. She yelled at me and slapped me in front of my kids. In front of my kids. They never should have seen that. She's keeping it too."

"Did you call a lawyer?"

"I did last week. He's writing up the paperwork and I should have it tomorrow. I'm getting sole custody no matter what."

"I think the judge will grant you sole custody. Just tell him about the abuse and it should work in your favor." Dani said.

"Why am I so unlovable? Is this payback for me hitting you?" James asked.

"You stop right now. You are lovable and you will find someone that makes you happy. I have forgiven you for what you did and you should too. You have two beautiful children who love you and look up to you. Don't fret over someone who isn't worth it. Lucy is stupid for cheating on you." Dani said. James hugged her and cried on her shoulder I stood back and let her comfort him.

"Daddy?" Troy asked. James quickly wiped his tears and turned towards his son.

"What's up buddy?"

"Are you okay?" he asked and placed his small hand on James' cheek which was slightly bruised from Lucy.

"I'm fine. Daddy's tough. How are you though?"

"Why did mommy hit you?"

"She was being mean and that's not allowed. I want to have a chat with you and your sister tomorrow."

"Can you come sleep with us?"

"Head in there and I'll be in in a minute."

"Love you daddy." He kissed James and pattered off.

"Thanks so much guys." James said, taking his last sip of coffee, and headed into the playroom.

"I feel so bad for him." Dani muttered. I nodded and wrapped my arms around her and squeezed her tight.

"I love you so much and I don't want you to forget that."

"I know. Let's go to bed."

Dani and I woke up to screaming. It wasn't any of our children. We groggily walked down the stairs to see James sitting across from Bridget and Troy on the couch.

"Is it because we were bad? Is that why you and mommy don't love each other anymore?" Bridget asked. My heart broke when I heard my goddaughter ask that.

"No, no, no. None of this was your fault. Mommy and daddy just don't love each other like we used to." He explained.

"Where will we live?" Troy asked.

"we're gonna' live at our old house. Daddy just has to get someone's approval first."

"Okay." Troy mumbled and James kissed his kids.

"Do you want me to make you pancakes?"

"With blueberries?"

"absolutely." He smiled and headed off towards the kitchen where Dani and I were.

"How much of that did you hear?"

"All of it. You handled it well."

"I know." He sighed and started grabbing what he needed for pancakes.

"Can you make enough for our kids too?" I asked and he nodded.

"Can Ben eat these?"

"I'll make his special ones." Dani said. Ben couldn't stomach pancakes well because of the flour.

"What are Bridget and Troy doing here?" Emmy asked.

"Well hello to you to." James said.

"Hi Uncle James." She hugged him as the triplets and Kylie came down.

"We stayed the night and we'll probably stay the night again tonight." James said and I nodded.

"I need you guys on your best behavior." Dani warned and the kids nodded.

"Everybody out until breakfast is cooked." The kids ran out and James took a deep breath.

"I don't want my kids to hate me."

"They won't."

"I don't want them to see Lucy ever."

"It'll work out for the best." I said.

"Nice new place." I complimented James. It was 2 months later and he was officially divorced from Lucy. He had stayed at my place for those 2 months and it got a little hectic.

"Thanks. I contemplated going back to the old house but there are too many bad memories."

"That's understandable."

"Are you happy?" Dani asked.

"Very happy and I even have a date tonight."

"Oh really? With who?" I asked.

"Jo."

"Wait…as in Jo who used to hate us but now is our friend who has a son?"

"That's Jo."

"You guys will be so cute together." Dani complimented.

"I used to think I was unlovable but I know I'm worthy of love." James smiled.
