CPOV

"Pardon?", I examine him because with John it's sometimes hard to follow his mind wandering around.

"Earlier today, I was at the dentist and he has drugged me with laughing gas, but I still don't have to laugh. That's interesting, isn't it", he clarifies and caresses his chin with his finger.

"If you say so ...", I say patiently and wait, till John jumps in our conversation again. He shakes his head uncomprehendingly, fetches a megaphone from under his seat and directs it to me.

"NO IT'S NOT!", he cries through it. After that, he places it on the floor and continues with his normal voice: "It's just as boring as your waffle. How was the sex?" I wince.

"I beg your pardon?", I ask him shocked.

"Oh come on, two weeks with a woman who is just your type and perfect? How was the sex?", he asks one more time. I think about it.

"Phenomenal."

He exhales. "And now you ended up with that bitch-troll again, what an improvement. NOT!", he states, the last word one more time through the megaphone.

"She's not a bitch-troll!", I'm defending her like so often in John's presence.

"Yes, and Santa Claus really exists. Nevertheless: And now?" he inquires and hits the nail on the head. He may be an unconventional psycho doc, but he knows exactly, what he does.

"That's exactly the problem, I think. I've got this permanent feeling that something is missing and I don't belong here. Today I was at Grey House and yes, in the beginning it was a bit hard to get accustomed to the pace, but from noon on it was like before the accident. In my private life though I'm afraid, it takes either like forever to find my way back or it's impossible. I don't understand it though. I just spent two weeks with a plain family", I say and stare into space.

"Ok Christian. Now we can go the easy or the hard way", he proposes and digs something out. It's a glove puppet, which he slips on his hand. Thereafter he plants himself next to me and holds the puppet to my ear. "Hello Christian, this is your conscience speaking! Kick the butt of the bitch-troll to the curb and marry the brunette!", he whispers. Then he stands up and takes his place opposite from me. I stare at him. He couldn't be serious, right? I'm not quite sure he heard my monolog.

"I cannot do this!", I argue. Dr. Flynn sighs and takes off the puppet. Thereafter he stands up, takes a framed certificate down from the wall and places it on his lap.

"Oh my dear friend, why doesn't anybody do what I say, although I studied this crap?", he asks his certificate. Then he looks at me. "So the hard way it is. I want to be honest to you: Tits and ass in an hour on TV, so I'll make this short. I want you to try to NOT think of Ana or the kids just for one day. If you'll succeed, you may come back. And if you won't succeed, which I deem plausible, then come back in two weeks. Enjoy your meal!", he says and rises. I stand up as well, shake his hands and go outside to the car. I'm desperate and afraid of losing my controlled life as I knew it. And John seems to be completely OK with that. I am confused.

Ok, I get it. Nobody loves my Dr. Flynn. I don't understand this (because I even had to laugh writing his scenes), but it's ok ;D. He has just one further appearance anyway.

Pielietje - Every dad who cares for his children is amazing ... and has his flaws ;). But like every other child, the children will adapt to them.

Guest, who is a bonus chapter junkie - Hmmm, you know what? You get one later. But only one, and only once, ok? And thanks for your review ;)

irisdietrich - I know, I know, but short chapters are good to edit. Sorry.

joan . goldman . 9 - Yeah, he'll find out about Elena being at the hospital. But you have just to wait and see about Elena's side of the story.

sweetsub75 - Yeah, he'll find out about Elena being at the hospital. Strange, I think I have a deja vu ;D

Christian618 - He will try his best, but you know Christian, right? Sometimes he needs time to take the right action ;)

SdaisyS - He's FUNNY. At least for me ;D. It's just fan fiction - I know, in real life no therapist would be like John, so let's be a bit silly here ;D.

Old Soul in Wonderland - Heeeey, were you somehow able to read chapter 38 in advance? Because that's exactly, what John will say ;D. He's trying his best to make Christian see, but you know Christian, right? It takes time.

Guest 'Great job' - Wait, till you read chapter 15, then you'll be disappointed like all the others. BUT ... yeah, the story continues, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe I'm able to post a decent ending this time. ;D
