*You know who I own and who I don't.
Dave looked at the results some more and said "What the f**k is this shit?"
"Dave, what is going on? What does it say?" asked Alex.
"I don't believe this f**king shit!" he yelled.
"Dave, stop yelling and calm down. What does it say?"
Dave threw the results at Alex and said, "Read it."
She bent over to pick them up which was a hard task for her since she was 7 months pregnant. She picked them up and stood up and said, "You didn't need to throw them at me."
"Just read them Alex."
"Fine," she said. "I don't know why you're yelling at me. It's not my fault you're upset." She read over the results and said, "Oh shit. Kaylee is your daughter!"
"She is not my kid. These results are lies. There is no way they're accurate."
"Dave, they're 99% accurate. She is your daughter," said Alex.
"She is not my daughter, Alex!"
"Dave, I'm standing here looking at the results and you looked over them too. They state that you are her father now you're going to do what you need to do to fix this situation."
"Well, we better call the lawyer," he said.
"No. You better call the lawyer. You're the one that went out and slept with the tramp and made a baby with her. You will do what you need to do to fix this."
"So you're mad at me now?"
"I didn't say I was mad at you but you're acting like I'm the one that slept with the tramp and made a baby with her. You're taking shit out on me. It's not my fault you couldn't keep it in your pants. Now do you see what I mean? You thought too much with your dick than you did with your brain. If you would have thought with your brain we wouldn't be sitting in this position right now."
"I want no part of this kid, Alex. The only kids I need to worry about are Athena, Keilani, Chelsea and Benjamin/Evan."
"David! Kaylee is your kid just as much as they are. Kaylee deserves to know you and deserves to have you in her life. You're not going to turn your back on her. She didn't ask for her mom to be a tramp and go out and sleep with a married man. Kaylee is 100% innocent in this situation and I won't let you turn your back on that innocent baby."
"Alex, do you know what can happen to us now that Kaylee is my baby? This could tear us apart. Bella is always going to be around."
"Dave, this situation can make us stronger or it can break us. If we work together on this it's not going to tear us apart. Bella is always going to be around but the only thing she needs to do is drop Kaylee off and leave. If we get Kaylee on holidays then it's Kaylee only. Bella is nothing but Kaylee's mom. She has no reason to be our best friend."
"Okay, Alex. Where do we go from here?"
"You're going to call the lawyer and figure out what you can do about child support, custody arrangements and visitation. And sadly enough you're going to have to talk to Bella too."
"I have to talk to Bella?"
"It's only about Kaylee. It doesn't have to be anything else, just Kaylee."
"Do I have to talk to her alone?"
"I don't think it's a good idea for me to be there when you talk to her. Especially after last time. I don't like her, Dave and this really sucks that we're stuck with her for the next 18 years. And the thing that sucks the most is that every time I look at Kaylee I'm going to be reminded of the fact you cheated on me. And good luck explaining this one to Chelsea."
"Are you going to leave me because I'm Kaylee's dad?"
"No, Dave. I'm not going to leave you. Why would I leave you?"
"Because I had a kid with Bella."
"Do you want me to leave you?"
"No, Alex."
"Like I said, Dave. I'm not going to leave you. I'm going to stand by your side through this whole thing. Remember whatever is thrown our way no matter how big or how small it is we're going to get through it together. This is just a test of our love. Just because you're Kaylee's dad isn't going to make me love you any less. It's how you handle it that's going to determine how much I love you. If you turn your back on her and refuse to be in her life you're not the guy I thought you were. You preach about family and Kaylee is your family and you're going to treat her as such."
"I just don't know what do anymore, Alex. It's like everything is getting thrown in our way and preventing us happiness."
"Dave, I'm happy with you. This whole Kaylee situation is not going to destroy us. I'm not going to let it destroy us. And you have to be willing to not let it destroy us also. I can't work alone. You have to work with me."
"Can you accept Kaylee into the family?"
"I accepted your other two kids didn't I? Why wouldn't I accept Kaylee. Like I said it's not her fault. I don't like her mom but I'm not going to hold her mom's faults against her. I'm not going to hold what you've done against her either. The fact is this, Kaylee is an innocent child and she's not going to be hated or discriminated against because of how she came to be. With that being said I will treat her as if she was my own. I am going to treat like I would treat Chelsea and Benjamin/Evan."
"Alex, you're amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better wife. You take so much negative shit and make it positive. That's what I love about you. You don't like to see the bad in people and do your best to see all the good. You could get up and walk away because of this but you're willing to be my side. If it would have been anyone else they would have been gone."
"Dave, you've done me wrong so many times. You did me wrong at the beginning of the relationship, you did me wrong during the marriage but you've also done me right. Just because you have a kid from one mistake you made last year doesn't mean I'm going to get up and throw away everything we have now. I love my life with you. I told I wanted forever with you and if that means I have to take the bad and run with it then I will. In life you always have to take the good with the bad. This marriage isn't going to be perfect. No marriage is but it's about how much we love each other to make it work. And I love you enough stand by your side no matter what the situation is to make it work. When I said you were the best thing to ever happen to me I wasn't lying."
"Alex, thank-you. I love you so much. I wouldn't trade my life with you for anything. You're right I've done some shitty things to you and I'm sorry."
"You're right you've done some shitty things to me but look at all you've given me. You gave me a reason to live and a reason to wake up everyday."
"Like what?"
"You gave me Chelsea and even though she is a little handful at times she is a wonderful kid. I wouldn't trade her in for anything. You gave me Benjamin/Evan even though we haven't met him yet I'm sure he's going to be just as wonderful. Then there's you. You gave me your love and this love is the best love I've ever had. If I didn't have all that I wouldn't even see a reason to wake up in the morning. I love you," she said with tears in her eyes.
"I love you too," he said as he hugged her. When they broke the hug he said, "So what is on the agenda for you today?"
"I'm spending the day with Chelsea. I'm taking her to sign up for T-ball because she wants to play t-ball. Then we're going to the mall to do some shopping and I might take her to get her ears pierced today. I just want a mommy daughter day with her before I have the baby."
"You're signing her up for t-ball?"
"Yes. It's something she wants to play so I guess I'm going to sign her up for it."
"Because I would definitely trust Chelsea playing a sport that involves using a bat," he said.
"I know we won't bring any baseball bats around here for her to practice with."
"That's probably a good idea," he said.
"Dave, you're terrible."
"I'm just being cautious. I told you before I don't know what she's capable of doing."
"I know neither do I and that's really bad."
"One more thing and I'll let you get on your way."
"What?"
"Will you please meet with our lawyer, Bella and me when we discuss everything about Kaylee?"
"I don't know, Dave. I have to think about it."
"You just told me you would stand beside me through this whole situation. I'd feel more comfortable if you were with me. You wouldn't want to go back on your word would you?"
"Dave, nice. Way to use that to make up my mind. I guess I will be there with you but I'm telling you she better keep her mouth off of me or she might get punched again."
"Okay," said Dave. "Go have fun with Chelsea. I love you," he said as he kissed her.
"I love you too," she said as she left the room. When she left the room Dave got out his cell phone and called his lawyer. He also called Bella to set up a date for them to meet to discuss Kaylee. He really didn't want to call her but he had to. Kaylee was his daughter too and they needed to work something out.
Alex and Chelsea went to the school where Alex needed to register her for T-ball. Alex got her all registered and they told her practice would start April 5th at 5:30 which meant Chelsea was going to have to choose between dance class and t-ball. Alex didn't see Chelsea as the type to play t-ball she always thought she'd end up playing soccer. After she registered Chelsea for t-ball they went to the mall to do some shopping. They walked into the mall and Chelsea said, "Mama, do we need to get clothes from Gymboree?"
"You can get clothes from anywhere you want. This is your day, Chelsea to do whatever you want."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Thank-you, Mama." Alex and Chelsea walked through the mall and they found a pet store. "Mama, let's go here. I want to see the puppies."
"Chelsea, when I said you can do whatever you want I didn't mean you could get a puppy. Remember your daddy has asthma and he doesn't want any dogs in the house."
"I know, Mama. I just want to look at them."
"Okay, we can just look at them." They walked into the pet store and walked over to the dogs. Alex had to admit there were some really cute puppies there. She wished Dave would allow Chelsea to get a dog but he had this thing about dogs shedding and their hair clogging up his chest giving him an asthma attack. They saw two Siberian Husky puppies. "Oh look Chels, aren't they so cute?"
"They're really cute. But look at this one, Mama." she said pointing to a yellow lab puppy. "Isn't he really cute?"
"He is cute. I had a dog like him when I was little but Grandma Brooks made me get rid of him."
"You had a dog?"
"Yeah. His name was Mickey. I loved him but your grandma didn't."
"Are you sure I can't get him?"
"I'm sure. Your dad doesn't want a dog."
"Can I get another pet besides a dog?"
"I don't know. What are you thinking about?"
"A bunny. Can I get a bunny?"
"I don't know, Chels."
"Please, Mama. Please! I'll take care of it. I'll feed it and clean up its mess."
"Chels, I don't know. Pets are a really big responsibility. I don't know if you're ready for one yet."
"Mama, please. A bunny isn't that hard to take care of."
"You have to clean out its cage and you have to feed it. You have to make sure it has water everyday. I don't know."
"Please! You said today was my day and I could get anything I wanted."
"I know but I didn't know you'd want to get a bunny."
"Please. Look. They're so cute," she said taking her mom by the hand and pulling her to the rabbits. "Look at that grey and white one with floppy ears. Can I get him please?"
"He's cute but I don't know. How about this. How about we go look at other places and I'll think about it and if I decide yes then we'll come back and get it?" Asked Alex hoping that after they looked at other places Chelsea would forget about the rabbit.
"Okay, Mama. You think about it." They walked out of the pet store and walked through the mall. They went to Gap Kids and Chelsea picked out 5 outfits that she wanted to get. She picked out two dresses that she thought she couldn't live without and the other 3 outfits were graphic tees and shorts. When they were finished at Gap Kids they went to the shoe store. Chelsea picked out a new pair of sketcher sneakers and the thing that shocked Alex the most was when she wanted to look at baby shoes for Benjamin/Evan. "Mama, I think we should get the baby a pair of shoes too."
"Really, Chelsea?"
"Yeah, Mama."
"But this is your day, Chelsea."
"I know but I think it would be nice to get the baby some shoes too."
"Okay," said Alex as her and Chelsea headed to the baby shoes.
Chelsea walked up and down the aisle looking for the best pair of shoes for her brother. She stopped in front of a pair that caught her eye. They were Timberland boots. They were brown and Alex thought they were pretty cute. "Look, Mama. Let's get him these! They're like the shoes daddy wears," said Chelsea.
"They are cute aren't they?"
"Yeah," she said. Alex would have expected Dave to pick something out like that not Chelsea. She was just amazed that Chelsea wanted to get something for her brother. Alex got him the size she thought would be best for him and took their shoes up to the counter. The cashier rang them up and Alex paid the bill. While Alex was paying the bill she felt Chelsea's little hands on her stomach. "Hey, baby. We got you some shoes. I know you're going to like them. They're just like Daddy's." Alex smiled and took the shoes and walked out of the store. They walked the mall until they came to a toy store. "Mama, can we go to the toy store?"
"Of course, Chelsea."
"Okay," said Chelsea as she walked into the toy store. Chelsea went straight to the Barbie dolls. She looked at them carefully as she walked up and down the aisle. Alex had to laugh because she thought it was funny how serious Chelsea was about deciding on the right thing. She had to take everything in before she made her final decision. "Mama, can I get a Bratz doll?"
"No. I hate Bratz dolls. They are really ugly dolls and the way they're dressed is inappropriate."
"They dress like bar tramps right, Mama?"
"Chelsea, would you stop using that word?"
"I'm sorry, Mama." Chelsea continued looking at the Barbie dolls and finally decided she didn't want a Barbie. Chelsea walked over to the baby dolls. "Mama, I'm sorry about what I did to my Baby Alive."
"It's okay, Chelsea. Just don't destroy anymore toys okay?"
"Okay. Can I get a baby doll?"
"If that's what you want."
"I do. I want baby doll."
"Okay pick out the one you want." Chelsea had already found the baby doll that caught her eye. She picked out a baby Sleeping Beauty doll.
She handed it to Alex and said, "Here, Mama. I want this doll please."
"Okay," said Alex as they walked to the counter. She paid for the doll and they walked out of the toy store. "Now Chels, you told me you wanted to get your ears pierced. Do you still want to get them pierced?"
"Yes, Mama. I want my ears to look like yours and Daddy has his ears pierced too. So does Athena. I want my ears pierced too."
"Are you sure? It's going to hurt and they're going to need to be cleaned every day."
"I'm sure."
"Okay," said Alex as they walked to the piercing place. When they got there Alex told the lady they were interested in getting an ear piercing. The lady told them to pick out a pair of earrings to have pierced in Chelsea's ears. Chelsea walked around looking at the earrings. "How about these pink earrings, Chels?"
"They're pretty but do they have purple?"
"Yeah. Do you want purple?"
"Yes, Mama. Purple is my favorite color."
"Okay," said Alex. She told the lady the earrings that Chelsea wanted. Alex paid for them and the lady had Alex fill out a consent form.
After Alex filled out the consent form she handed it back to the lady. She had Chelsea sit in the chair. Alex pulled Chelsea's hair up into a pony tail so the lady could pierce her ears. The lady marked each ear with a little circle to mark where she was going to pierce her ear. Chelsea seemed to be getting a little nervous so Alex gave her a piece of gum to chew. The lady got out the piercing gun and put one earring in it. "When I count to three I'm going to put this in your ear okay?"
"Okay," said Chelsea. "Mama, can you hold my hand?"
"Of course," said Alex as she took her daughter's hand. The lady counted to three and then pierced Chelsea's ear. Chelsea didn't even cry. Alex was expecting to hear Chelsea's shrill scream but she toughed it out. The lady went over to the other side and did the same procedure. Chelsea's other ear was pierced and she didn't even cry once. Alex had to admit Chelsea handled pain better than she did. Alex got her ears pierced when she was three and she bawled her eyes out when they did it.
"Do you want to see them?" asked the lady
"Yes, Ma'am," said Chelsea. The lady handed her the mirror and Chelsea looked at her ears. "Mama, they're so pretty. Thank-you!" she said hugging her mom.
"You're welcome, baby." She said hugging her back. The lady that pierced Chelsea's ears gave them cleaning things and told them they needed to be cleaned twice a day and Chelsea needed to leave them in for 6 weeks. "Thank-you," said Alex. Chelsea hopped off the chair and took her mom's hand. Alex was so happy that Chelsea was back to being her sweet and caring Chelsea and not the mean little girl she turned into in the last couple months. "Is there anything else you want to do today?" Alex asked as they walked through the mall.
"Can we get something to eat?"
"Sure. What do you want to get?"
"Can we get pizza?"
"Sure," said Alex as they walked to the food court. Alex ordered them some pizza and they sat down at the table.
"Mama, this has been the best day of my life," said Chelsea.
"I'm glad you had fun."
"When the baby gets here can we still do these kind of days?"
"Of course, Chels. You're my only daughter. We're going to have a lot of Mommy daughter days as you get older. I want you to know I love you, Chels."
"I love you too but sometimes you worry too much about the baby. And I think you hate me."
"Chelsea, I could never hate you. You're my little princess. I love you so much."
"Even though I ruined my doll and wrote on the walls?"
"No matter what you did or what you do in the future I will always love you. There is nothing you can do that will make me love you any less."
"Okay, Mama. I'm really sorry about how mean I've been lately. I guess I was scared of the baby coming and taking you away from me."
"Chelsea, the baby is not going to take me away from you. You and me will spend as much time as we can together when we get the chance."
"Thank-you, Mama. I love you."
"I love you too." They sat there and finished eating their pizza. When they were finished they threw their trash away.
They were getting ready to leave when Chelsea said, "What about my bunny? Can I get him?"
Alex thought for a minute. She thought she should talk it over with Dave first but she was sure he wouldn't mind if Chelsea got a rabbit as long as it stayed in Chelsea's room. It wasn't like it was a dog. "Sure, you can get your bunny," said Alex.
"Really?"
"Yes, Chelsea," said Alex as they headed to the pet store. When they got to the pet store Alex told the clerk that they wanted a rabbit. Chelsea had her heart set on the grey and white rabbit. The clerk got it out of the cage and Alex walked around to get a cage for it and got it some food. She also got it a water bottle so it could drink water. She walked up to the counter and paid for everything. The clerk put the rabbit in a little box and handed it to Alex. "Chels, now you know you have to take care of the bunny don't you? It's your responsibility. Okay?"
"I know, Mama. Thank-you."
"You're welcome," she said as they walked to the car. Dave was going to kill her when he found out about the rabbit. Alex put everything they bought in the trunk and then put Chelsea in her booster seat and handed her the box with the rabbit. She closed the door and walked to the driver's side of the SUV. When she got in the car she said to Chelsea, "Now when we get home I want you to take the rabbit up to your room while I talk to Daddy about it. Okay?"
"Okay, Mama."
Alex began driving home and said, "So what are you going to name him?"
"I don't know, Mama."
"He has to have a name."
"How about Dusty? He looks like a Dusty."
"Dusty works. So his name is Dusty?"
"Yeah. He's Dusty," she said.
When they got to the house Alex got Chelsea out of the car and got the things they bought out of the trunk. When they got inside Chelsea and Alex went straight to Chelsea's room. Alex got out the rabbit cage and put it together. She thought it was pretty easy to put it together. Once it was together she got out the food dish and poured the food into it and put it in the cage. She took out the water bottle and said, "Chelsea, can you please go fill this up with water?"
"Yes, Mama."
"Thank-you," she said. Chelsea went into the bathroom and filled the bottle up with water. She walked back in her room and handed it to her mom. Alex closed it up and hung it up in the cage. She took Dusty out of the box and put him in the cage and shut the door. "Now let's go show Daddy what you got today but don't say anything about Dusty. I'll talk to him about Dusty."
"Okay, Mama." They walked up to Alex and Dave's room. Dave was sitting in bed watching TV when they walked in.
"There are my girls. How was the mall?" he said getting up.
"I had so much fun, Daddy. Look at my ears," she said showing her dad her earrings.
"Wow, Chels, they're very pretty!"
"Now I have my ears pierced like yours and Mama's. Next I'm going to get tattoos like yours."
"You're not getting any tattoos until you're older," said Dave.
"Athena has a tattoo," said Chelsea.
"Athena has a what?" Asked Dave.
"A tattoo. It's a butterfly. It's on her tummy right here," she said pointing to her stomach to show her dad.
Dave couldn't believe it. Although he knew who he had to go to in order to get information about Athena. Chelsea seemed to know a lot about Athena and everything she was doing. "Oh," said Dave. "What else did you get from the mall?"
"I got clothes and sneakers," she said showing her dad her sneakers and clothes.
"Wow. I love your new dresses. They're so pretty. You're going to look like a movie star in them," he said. "And your shoes are cute too."
"We got shoes for the baby too," said Chelsea.
"You did?" asked Dave as he looked at Alex.
"She picked them out. She decided she wanted to get him shoes."
"That was nice of you, Chelsea."
Chelsea took the bag from her mom and pulled out the shoes she picked out for her brother and showed them to her dad. "Look Daddy. They're just like yours."
"These are so cute! Chelsea you have great taste and you're right they're just like Daddy's." Said Dave as he looked at the shoes.
"I expected you to pick out Tims for him but Chelsea beat you to it," said Alex with a laugh.
"That's because she has a good fashion sense," he said.
"And Daddy I got baby Sleeping Beauty too," said Chelsea as she showed her dad the doll.
"That's a pretty doll," said Dave. "Are you going to take care of her?"
"Yes, Daddy."
"Okay. Just making sure."
"Hey, Chels why don't you go in your room and play for a little bit while I talk to Daddy?"
"Okay, Mama," said Chelsea as she grabbed her things and left the room.
When Chelsea was gone Dave walked over and kissed Alex. "So she picked the shoes out by herself?"
"Yeah. I was surprised. She just picked out her sneakers and out of no where she said she wanted to get the baby some shoes too. I let her pick them out. I wasn't going to tell her no."
"Maybe she's getting better about the big sister thing."
"I think she is."
"Speaking of big sisters does Athena really have a tattoo?"
"I don't know. I don't get in her business like that. I just make sure she goes to school and follows the rules."
"If I find out she has oneā¦" he began to say.
"You can't do anything about it because tattoos last forever and there's no erasing it."
"I know but she's going to be in trouble."
"Where is she, Dave? I haven't seen her all day?"
"She didn't come home after school?"
"No."
"Damn it. Maybe she's at a friend's house."
"It's Friday. We won't see her until Sunday night."
"That shit is going to stop too. She's not going to run around all weekend and then decide to come home on Sunday night."
"Dave, you handle it. She's not going to listen to me. You need to get her under control."
"I don't know what else to do with her, Alex. I've grounded her and still nothing works."
"There has to be something that is going to work."
"Well, when you figure it out, Alex. Let me know."
"Anyway, did you talk to the lawyer?"
"Yeah we're meeting in a month to discuss everything."
"Okay," said Alex.
"So did you get anything from the mall?" asked Dave.
"No because Chelsea made me broke with everything she wanted to get."
"She likes to shop."
"I know and then it takes her forever to make a decision."
"Sounds like her mother. It takes you forever to make a decision too."
"I need to make sure I'm making the right one. I can't just make any decision. I have to make sure it's the right one."
"And she's just like you. How much screaming did you hear when she got her ears pierced?"
"None actually. She just held my hand and got her ears pierced. There was no crying at all. I was proud of her. She handled pain a lot better than I do."
"She is a tough kid isn't she?"
"Yeah. So I got a catalog the other day from that Ridgeway Private School. It looks like a really good school. I think that's where I want to send her."
"Are we sure we want to do private school with her?"
"Yes. I don't want her in public school."
"Did you go to public or private school, Alex?"
"I went to private school and I loved it."
"I went to public school and Athena goes to public school."
"And look how well public school is working out for her."
"Okay, you're right. Chelsea is going to private school. Let me look over the catalog so I can decide if I want her to go to that Ridgeway place."
"Okay," said Alex. "There is something else I wanted to talk to you about."
"And what is that?" He asked.
Before she could say anything Chelsea came in the room and said, "Mama, Dusty took a shit in my room on the floor."
Alex's eyes got wide and so did Dave's. She turned and looked at her daughter and said, "What did you say?"
"I said um..Dusty took a shit on my floor."
"That's what I thought you said."
"Who's Dusty, Alex?"
"Chelsea's rabbit. Chelsea where did you learn that word?"
"Chelsea has a rabbit?" asked Dave.
"I learned it from Daddy and Athena," she said.
"I don't want to hear another cuss word come out of your mouth young lady."
"I'm sorry, Mama."
"Wait. Everyone stop for a minute. When did Chelsea get a rabbit?" asked Dave.
"She got it today. I was getting ready to tell you about it before our 4 year old came in here using profanity."
"You didn't ask me first about the rabbit?"
"I didn't think you would mind. It's not like it's a dog," she said.
"I know. I don't mind. I just wish you would have talked to me about it first."
"Didn't I tell you I didn't want Athena using profanity in front of Chelsea and what have I told you about using profanity in front of her? Chelsea is like a sponge and she will repeat anything she hears. Why do you think I don't swear in front of her."
"I'm sorry, Alex. It's not like I expected her to come in here and say her rabbit took a shit on the floor. She says bar tramp all the time now because of your mom."
"I know she does. And that's why I told you not to swear in front of her and that's why I told Athena not to swear in front of her."
"Alex, calm down. She's only 4. Didn't you ever swear when you were 4?"
"No. I didn't because my parents didn't use foul language in front of us. Now I'm going to have a 4 year old running around saying shit. Is there any other word she knows I should be aware of?"
"I think she knows a couple more but I don't know what they are."
"That's just great, Dave."
Chelsea sensing the tension said, "Daddy, do you want to see Dusty?"
"Sure," said Dave as he walked to his daughter's room. He was glad she knew how to break the tension.
When they got into Chelsea's room she picked up the rabbit and showed her dad. "Isn't he cute, Daddy?"
Dave took the rabbit from Chelsea's hand and said, "He is cute. He's so soft too."
"I know. So can I keep him?"
"Of course you can keep him as long as you take care of him."
"Thank-you," she said. Dave handed Dusty back to her.
While Dave was in Chelsea's room Alex went downstairs to start cooking dinner. She wasn't really in the mood to make anything for dinner but she had to. She started getting out pots and pans to make dinner and then she stopped and said, "F**k it" and put them away. She decided they were just going to order pizza from the pizza place down the street. She called them and ordered a pizza. Dave came downstairs and said, "What's for dinner?"
"Pizza. I didn't feel like cooking tonight."
He wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "What's wrong?"
"I just don't feel like cooking tonight. I'm tired. My feet hurt and my back hurts. I just want to take it easy."
"Okay," he said.
The pizza came and Dave paid the pizza guy. They sat down and ate their dinner together. After dinner Dave decided he would clean up so that Alex could take it easy. He kept reminding himself that there were only 2 months until her hormones would be back to normal. Alex decided since it was Friday that they would have a family movie night. Chelsea picked out the movie they were going to watch. She picked out Alvin and the Chipmunks. They sat down and watched the movie together as a family. Chelsea didn't make it through the movie and ended up falling asleep on her mom's lap. When the movie was over Dave carried Chelsea upstairs as Alex walked upstairs into their bedroom. Dave put Chelsea in her bed and left the room. He walked into the bedroom to find Alex changing into his sweatpants and one of his t-shirts. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, Dave. I'm fine. I just don't appreciate Athena breaking the rules all the time."
"I know. I don't like it either."
"When I agreed to let her live here she was given rules to follow but she has not followed them at all."
"I know. I'm sorry," he said.
"It's not your fault. I think you need to talk to her about her behavior. I don't want her to become a bad influence on Chelsea."
"Neither do I."
Alex crawled into bed and Dave crawled into bed next to her. He wrapped his arms around Alex and began kissing her neck. Alex turned to face him and began kissing him. Dave's phone started going off. "Of course," said Alex.
Dave reached up and answered it. "Hello." It was Athena. "You did what?" "Damn it, Athena. I'm coming to get you. I'll be there in a few minutes." Said Dave as he hung up his phone.
"What happened?"
"Athena got arrested. I have to go pick her up from the police station. I'll be back later."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you too," said Dave as he got ready to pick Athena up.
*A/N: There you have it Chapter 29. Dave wasn't too happy over the results of the paternity test. I like how Alex is handling it better than him. Chelsea is back to being the sweet little Chelsea and Athena..wow..Please tell me what you think. Please review. I love getting your reviews and thank-you for taking the time to read this chapter.
