Stu turned to knock on the door, deciding that he needed to talk to her right now. When Ana came to the door, he told her that he needed to talk to Andi. She directed him down the hall to the girls' bedroom. He rapped on the door and when Alli answered, he asked her to leave so he could talk to her sister. Andi looked at him surprised and embarrassed. She was hoping that she could just kiss him and hat would be the end of it. "Sweetheart, we really need to talk."

"I'm sorry Stu. Please don't be angry at me and please don't tell Daddy. I just wanted to know what it was like to kiss you, to have a real kiss."

"I think that is sweet that you have a crush on me, but I'm way too old for you and your father is one of my best friends. I think the world of you, but I think of you like a niece, since your dad is like my brother. I will always be here for you and look out for you; anytime you need to talk, I'll be there. I am not angry, and I'm not going to tell your father. The truth is, he would probably to be just as angry at me."

"I don't want Daddy to be angry at you. It won't happen anymore Stu. I promise. This is going to sound totally pathetic, but I've never had a real kiss from a boy."

"That's not pathetic. I was 16 before I had a real kiss from a girl. I was never really that popular with the girls when I was young. Don't worry about it love. I know that soon enough, all the boys will be falling at your feet. Just give it time. Besides, you want a boy your age instead of me, I'm old enough to be your father!" Stu said with a laugh.

"Thanks for not being angry at me Stu. I just think you're so awesome and I've liked you for so long, and it's been a big adjustment to you being my dad's friend. I guess I'm not used to my father being famous yet. "

"I understand love." Stu hugged her, then walked back out to join Drew. They got in the car and left to go find Martin. Little did they know James was on his way to find him as well. "So how did the conversation go mate?"

"It went well. I'm still flattered that she has a crush on me, but I told her that she needed to find a boy her own age. She was afraid that I was angry and that I would tell Ste. She told me that she'd never had a real kiss from a boy. The twins are so pretty, I find it hard to believe that boys aren't already chasing after them. Even though I would feel sorry for any boy that tried, considering how scary their father can be."

"I find that hard to believe too. They are very lovely girls, I just hope Alli doesn't try that with me!" Drew said with a hearty chuckle.

Stu laughed as well. "I don't foresee that happening after what happened with Andi. Alli seemed more embarrassed than her sister did."

James was waiting for him when he returned to the hotel. When Martin got out of the car, he met him halfway across the parking lot. "Well, looks like there is no one here to save you this time from the ass kicking that you deserve. You have been warned more than once to stay away from my granddaughters."

Before Martin had the chance to answer, James threw a stiff right hand and landed it to Martin's jaw. Martin stumbled back, but James didn't give him a reprieve. When he thought about all the years that Caylie and the twins had suffered, he became the even more furious. As he knocked Martin to the ground, he was thinking about all his daughter had been through raising the girls alone. He thought back to the recent months with Martin refusing to back out gracefully and he saw black. He hit Martin over and over and grabbed his hair, slamming his head into the concrete. A few moments later, Stu and Drew arrived. They jumped out of the car and ran towards the two men on the ground.

Stu grabbed James around the chest, and pulled him off of Martin. "Take your hands off of me! I'm not done with this son of a bitch!"

"James, he's unconscious. You need to stop before they come take you to Jail. Drew, can you get him awake?"

Drew was looking at Martin, his face busted up and blood flowing from his nose and mouth. He cupped his head and felt blood oozing out of the gash. "No, he's not waking up. I think maybe he needs to go to the hospital."

"The sorry bastard got what was coming to him. After what he did to my little girl, and terrorizing the twins, he got everything he deserved."

"Well, I would tend to agree with you, but you've beaten him half to death. Ste may hate his father, but I'm sure he doesn't want to see him die" Drew said.

"I think you need to go back home James. We will take care of Martin. We promised we would take care of the girls for Stephen while they are gone."

"Fine."

Apparently someone inside had seen what was going on in the parking lot and had called the police. Before James could get it back in his car to leave, to patrol cars from the PD pulled in. They hopped out of their cars and one pulled his gun and yelled at James to put his hands up. He quickly complied and Drew and Stu stepped back. The lady from the front desk came out to meet them and told them that she was the one that called. One of the officers handcuffed James and read him his rights. The other got on the radio and called for an ambulance. He then took a statement from the front desk clerk. James was thrown into the back of the patrol car, and the other officer waited for the paramedics to arrive. When the ambulance got there, Martin has still not regained consciousness. They led him into the back of the tried and headed towards the hospital.

Stu took out his phone and called Ana letting her know that James had been arrested. He asked the clerk to call up to their room and let Susan know that Martin was being taken to County Hospital. When they got back in the car, they were dreading calling Stephen and Caylin and letting them know what had transpired.

Over in Italy, Stephen and Caylin were sitting down to a romantic late dinner in the Piazza. When Stephen heard his phone ring, and saw it was Drew, he instantly panicked. "Hey mate, what's the matter with my girls?"

"Well Ste, it's not your daughters. It's your father. Is Caylin there with you?"

"Yeah, she's right here. What's wrong?"

"Your father is in the emergency room and her father is in jail."

Stephen yelled, "what?!"

Caylin looked at him, confused, now worried herself. "What's going on Ste?" He reached across the table and grabbed her hand. "Just a second love."

"James went after Martin after he followed the girls to the theme park. Alli called him and let him know that Martin was bothering them again. And Andi texted me and Stu. By the time we got there, he had already left. Then, apparently James decided he had had enough of Martin bothering the girls. He waited for him at the hotel. By the time we got there, he had already beaten him to a pulp and knocked him out. One of the employees had called the police. So James was taken to jail and Martin was taken to the hospital. That just happened so that's all I know right now."

"What the fuck? We leave fer our honeymoon and all hell breaks loose. Are the girls okay though?"

"Of course. They are upset, but okay. Look, I just wanted to let you to know what was going on. I can call you back later when I know more."

"All right. Thanks for calling. Make sure you let us know when anything changes."

"I will mate. Give your lovely wife, my regards, will you." Drew hung up the phone and looked over at Stu "this is a big fucking mess."

"That's for sure. But I honestly can't say as I blame him. Martin and Susan purposely kept Stephen away from his family and Caylin had to raise the girls all alone. And the poor girls had to grow up without their dad. I can't even imagine how all of them must feel. Then on top of everything Martin tries to force his way back into their lives, even though they have repeatedly told him they wanted nothing to do with him. I agree completely with James, he earned that beating."

"I don't blame him, either, but doing it in a public place and getting arrested just wasn't smart. What did Ana say when you called her?"

"She didn't sound too surprised. She didn't sound too upset either. I think she has been expecting it."

"I guess I need to call Adele and let her know that Martin is in the hospital."

On their way back to the to their hotel, Drew placed a call to Stephen's sister. They finally made it back to their rooms after frustrating day. They got their things together and got ready to fly out early the next morning.

Caylin asked Stephen about the phone call. "Well, love, it appears my father trailed the girls to Wild Adventures and that was the final straw for yer father."

"Why, what happened?"

"James lay in wait for my dad and attacked him in the hotel parking lot. Don't really know all the details, but Drew said he was being taken to the hospital still unconscious. Yer father got arrested for battery."

"He did what? Well, I can't say that I'm shocked, but I can't believe my dad got charged. Maybe they won't keep him. He's friends with the police chief. How was your dad doing?"

"Drew didn't know yet. Ah guess I will have to call my sister later or Susan."

"Baby, let's head back to the Villa. I really want to call the girls and I need to call my mum."

"Okay, Caylie. Let me get the check and we'll go."

Stephen paid the tab and a got a taxi back to the house. Stephen told Caylin that he was not mad at James for what he done. "Ah wish Ah could have been the one to do it. He's had it coming for a while."

"I agree. My father has been livid since he found out what Martin did to us. I'm actually surprised that it didn't happen before now. I need to call my mum and see if they're going to let him out. I don't think my mum has ever had to do anything like this before" Caylin said with a laugh. "I guess it is a good thing we're going home tomorrow."

"Ah reckon that it is love. Seems that it all hit the fan when we left."

Caylin picked up the phone and called her mother first to see if her father was still in jail. She found out that Martin had regained consciousness at the hospital and told the officer that he wanted to press charges. James had been booked for assault and battery and terroristic threatening because the clerk had heard him threaten to kill Martin. "So, dear, Ah, and I'm afraid yer father will at least spend the night in jail."

"Did you know the girls about Dad being arrested?"

"No, Ah didn't. Ah didn't want to worry them until Ah knew something for certain. Are ya going to call them?"

"Yes, I'm going to call them as soon as I hang up with you. Drew told Ste about Martin bothering the girls while they were trying to spend time with Ann Marie and Adele. I want to make sure they're okay."

"Ah am sure they are fine dear. But ya might need to have a talk with Andrea."

"Why is that Mum?"

"Allison told me that Andrea decided that she needed her first kiss from Stu. So apparently, when the guys brought them home, she planted a kiss on him."

"She did what!? I'm going to kill her."

"No, don't do that love. He had a talk with her."

"Well, I'm glad he did. But what in the hell was she thinking?"

"Ah don't really know, but don't be too hard on her Caylin."

"Don't be too hard on her? She kissed a man who is old enough to be her father and who happens to be one of her father's best friends."

Stephen's eyes went wide and his face started turning beet red. "She bloody well did what?"

"Well, I guess he heard that. Ah need to get off here anyway and see if I can see yer father. Love ya. See ya when ya get home tomorrow."

"Love you too Mum."

"So, let me guess. Andi kissed Stu. Ah am going to strangle them both."

"No, we're just going to strangle Andi. It wasn't like Stu had anything to do with it."

Caylin took a deep breath, and dialed her daughter's phone number. "Hi Mama."

"Hi baby. Well, first things first, what is this I hear about you kissing Stu?"

"How did you hear about that?"

"Your nana told me. Now what were you thinking Andrea? Stu is more than twice your age and your dad's friend. Why would you do that?"

"I wanted a real kiss Mama. I'm sorry. I apologized and it won't happen again. "

"You better see that it doesn't. Your father looks like he is about to have a coronary. Please put us on speakerphone so we can talk to your sister too. Okay girls, you need to know that your grandfather is in the county lockup because he beat up Martin badly enough that he had to go to the ER."

"Wow, really? I didn't expect Papa to do that. Maybe he will back off and leave us alone now. Mama, he was really starting to freak us out" Alli said.

"Don't worry about him anymore lass. Yer mum and Ah will be home tomorrow afternoon. Ah will make sure he gets on the next plane for Ireland. We have some things to talk to ya about when we get home as well. But why don't ya think about how ya would feel living in Tampa, and we will discuss it when we get home."

The girls started shrieking and clapping. "Ah think they like the idea love."

"Okay, we're going to go. Getting really late here and we need to pack and get some sleep. We love you and will see you tomorrow."

The girls told their parents they loved them, then talked about what things would be like living in Tampa. They knew they would like the weather and having a lot more things to do. Andi wondered how Ana knew about her smooching Stu, then she figured he must have told her.

Stephen was still upset when they hung up but knew there wasn't much he could do about it from there. The thought of his daughters with boys scared him anyway, and he didn't like to think about it. He definitely didn't want to think about Andi kissing his mate. He thought back to when he was young and all the things that he and Caylin did when she was just 14 and he shuddered at the thought of his girls starting to experiment with sex. "Caylie, ya have had the birds and bees talk with the lasses haven't ya?"

"Of course Ste. Why?"

"Well, Ah just became a father, don't really want to be a grandpa yet love."

Caylin chuckled "I don't think that is going to happen just because she wanted a kiss baby. We have talked about the dangers of unprotected sex and all that. I have been open with the girls about all that. Don't worry."

"Ah just don't want them doing what we were doing at their age Caylie."

"Well, they probably will later. Most kids do. The only thing we can hope for is they listen to us and keep themselves safe. One thing is sure, I don't think they will be wanting to have babies once they get a taste of what little ones are actually like. That should put a damper on that, or I hope anyway."

"Ah hope so too. Ah guess Ah will have to practice my overprotective father routine fer when they start bringing boys over. Have to put the fear of God in them. Not ready to let me little girls go. Truthfully, Ah don't think Ah ever will be."
