Once they were back at the house both Dean and Farrah were sitting on the floor trying to teach Quinn to walk. They had been using Dean as bait to get her to go over to him. The fights from the past 2 days were now gone from their mind.
Farrah was holding Quinn up. "Ok ready to walk to daddy?" she said letting go of Quinn who stood there looking at Dean.
"Come get me..come come" he said putting his arms out for her. They both watched intently as Quinn took a step towards Dean and then sat.
"YAY!" Dean clapped leaning over and kissing her cheek "such a big girl!"
Farrah smiled at them. Sitting up when she heard the front door open. She looked towards the entrance and saw Tom walk through.
Tom walked into the room and looked at them on the floor.
"Sorry I'm early. It was actually the only flight I could take. Hi Dean" he said shaking Deans hand and leaning down to kiss Farrah after "missed you"
Farrah kissed back and tried to smile not wanting him to feel bad "I missed you too."
Tom's attention had gone to Quinn who was going crazy trying to get his attention.
"Hey there princess" Tom said picking her up and tickling her belly "I missed you too!" he smiled kissing her head.
Farrah looked over at Dean who looked uncomfortable. She couldn't imagine having to see another woman with Quinn like that.
"Let's go to the kitchen you must be hungry" Farrah said to Tom standing up
Tom put Quinn back down next to Dean and followed Farrah to the kitchen
Dean looked at Quinn "You charmed by the British guy too? you little backstabber." He said poking her belly and smiling when Quinn squealed with laughter.
Farrah started to look around the kitchen to make Tom a sandwich "so how was the trip?" she asked looking at him
"It was alright. Tiring. I really can't wait until you just come live in London and then all this back and forth can stop" he said grabbing a glass of water
Farrah looked at him. He had been talking about the move to London more and more often. They had lived there when they were together before so it was assumed that it would happen again when they got back together.
Tom looked at her "have you thought about it more? You have an answer?" he asked taking a sip of his water
"No…not yet. I haven't talked to Dean. I had actually asked him to stay after Quinn went to bed today so I could talk to him. " Farrah looked down not even wanting to imagine how Dean would react to her wanting to take Quinn to London.
"Alright. You can still talk to him. I will bugger off for a bit so you can have a chat. Good thing you have full custody so he can't really say much" he said
Farrah nodded.
"Are you alright? Seems like you weren't really happy to see me" Tom said
"No, I just wasn't expecting you home today. It's always weird when you and Dean cross paths I guess. Especially with Quinn., I could tell it was uncomfortable for him to watch" I said
"Well I can't just ignore her when she's trying to grab my attention" he said
"No, I know. Just ignore me" Farrah said handing him a sandwich.
Farrah looked out to the family room and noticed that Dean and Quinn were gone. She looked at the time and realized that he must have taken her upstairs for bed.
She sat there with Tom for a bit just talking about his trip. Farrah looked at the time and realized that Dean wasn't back downstairs yet.
"I will be back let me go check on Quinn" Farrah got up and headed up stairs.
She walked up the stairs and stopped at the door to Quinn's room. She saw Dean had fallen asleep on the glider chair with Quinn asleep on his chest. She watched them and smiled to herself. She almost didn't want to wake him up it was such a cute scene.
Farrah walked over to the glider and slowly lifted Quinn off Dean's chest and placed her in her Crib.
Dean woke up and looked at her. "this chair is insanely comfortable" he said quietly
Farrah laughed a little and walked out with Dean when he was up.
"You said you wanted to talk?" he said looking at her
Farrah felt a pit in her stomach. She remembered what it was she had to tell him. She looked at him and thought back to the glider scene. She realized that she couldn't do that to him. This was his family.
"Oh yeah, I was just going to tell you that I was thinking of going to my parents house for Christmas. Wasn't sure what your plans were" She lied
"I have to see the show schedule." He said trying to think if he had been told what days he was off.
"ok well just let me know and we will plan accordingly" I said smiling a bit
"I guess I will go now. I know Tom just had a long flight don't want to over stay my welcome. I will just text you or call you to let you know when I can come back." He said looking at her
"Sounds good. 2 weeks right?" Farrah asked walking him to the door
"yeah" Dean said sounding disappointed "hopefully Quinn won't forget me in that time" he laughed a little
"I highly doubt it. "Farrah smiled
Dean smiled "ok well see you" he said walking out
"Bye" Farrah watched him walk to his car and then shut the door behind her. She looked towards the kitchen trying to figure out how she would explain to Tom that she didn't talk to Dean and that she wasn't planning on moving.
She walked towards the kitchen to find Tom and he looked up at her when she walked in.
"All done? That was a quick chat. How did he take it?" he said
Farrah bit her lip looking at him "I didn't tell him… " Farrah sat next to him
"Well why not?" Tom looked at her trying to understand
"I just can't. I can't to that to him"
"You can't do that to him? Since when did he give you such consideration? " Tom said getting upset
"It's not just him. It's Quinn too she needs her dad" Farrah said fidgeting with her phone.
"Quinn wouldn't care. He's gone for 300 days out of the year. Quinn is not used to seeing him anyway. She's still a baby. He abandoned her once what's to say he won't do it again when he starts missing his old life"
I looked at him knowing he had valid points. Tom had been there when Dean walked away from me.
"I just can't, Tom" Farrah said looking up at him
Tom stood up and stood in front of her "I'm done, Farrah. I am always going to be the extra in this family. Mummy's boyfriend that you only really want around when dad isn't home"
"That's not true" Farrah stood up
"Yes it is. I tried but I am done. " he said walking out
Farrah watched him walk out. As much as she wanted to feel like stopping him, she didn't. She knew deep inside that he was right in everything he just said. She felt bad that she never felt the love that he deserved. She watched as he grabbed the bag he had brought with him and left.
