Papa Jones blues
Chapter 53
Epilouge part 1: Three months later...
With the decision to end the group having been made,things back at the pad were already different with Mike having been the first monkee to pack up his things and leave. Although he knew things would have eventually come to an end, Peter seemed to be taking the break up of the group the hardest despite his putting on a brave face and telling the others that he was going to be "just fine",when in reality he wished that this was all just some sort of bad dream.
It was a few days after mike had gone, that Stephanie and Davy were slowly preparing to leave the house and move to England so that davy could be closer to his grandfather who wasnt doing so well recently.
One morning as they were all sitting down having breakfast,davy received a call from his sister Linda who had some bad news for him. Dropping the receiver, davy slumped into a chair and placed his head into his hands. Handing katie over to Peter, Stephanie went over to her husband and recognized what had happened without needing davy to explain.
" When did you want to leave? " Asked Stephanie
" As soon as we can."Davy sighed " I need to get there and help make the arrangements for grandfather. "
" Hey davy,we'll come along with you and steph if you guys want" said Peter
"I couldn't ask you to do something like that. "said davy
" You dont have to."said Micky Smiling
"Well y'all, we gotta finish packin up our stuff ,since we have a plane to catch."said Stephanie as she walked towards the bedroom
" Is it just me,or did steph sound just like Mike for a second? " Asked Peter as he glanced over at Micky and Davy
Shrugging their shoulders, they followed behind Stephanie who was already working on her second suitcase. Once Davy, Stephanie and the kids were all packed up, Micky and Peter left to each go pack a few suitcases of their own.
As soon as they were all packed and ready to go, they all piled up in the monkee mobile which Mike had left behind and headed to the airport to catch a plane to England.
Knowing that it was a long shot to see her brother one last time before she flies across the country, Stephanie boarded the plane with katie in her arms while Davy holding their son's hand followed on board with micky and Peter.
Once they were seated on the plane, Stephanie looked out the window,and let out a heavy sigh.
" Are you alright luv?"davy asked with concern
" I was just hoping to see my brother before we go."Stephanie sighed "But that's definitely a long shot."
"Don't worry about it steph,if Mike wanted to show up,he would have already done it by now."said Mickyas he settled in his seat
Even though she knew that micky was just trying to cheer her up in his own way,stephanie held onto her daughter tightly as the plane finally took off for Manchester.
After flying on an airplane for what seemed longer than it truly was,the six of them got off the plane and were greeted by a car that had been waiting there upon Davy's arrival.
Getting inside the car,it was now time to head to his grandfather's house so that davy could meet up with his sisters and go over the funeral arrangements for his grandfather along with the reading of his will.
Looking over at Davy,Stephanie gave his hand a gentle squeeze as the car finally pulled up in front of the house.
" Tell me again why you left this kind of place behind,for our crummy rundown pit we call home?"Micky asked as he looked at the giant house in front of them
"I don't think this is the right time to ask those kinds of questions micky."peter said shaking his head
" It's okay peter." Davy sighed " I guess i might as well tell you everything anyhow,seeing as now would be the perfect time. "
"Why don't y'all wait until after we get settled in, and davy you get together with your sisters and take care of what we came all this way for."Stephanie said as she headed to the front door
Following Stephanie and the kids as she led the way,the front door suddenly opened and out walked Davy's older sister Linda who invited all of them to come inside.
Since davy had a lot of planning to do,stephanie and the guys were taken to their rooms by his other sister beryl who had to hurry back downstairs. Once they got their rooms,Stephanie decided to hang out with micky and Peter until davy gets back.
" So,what are y'all gonna do after Davy's done with what he needs to do for his grandfather? "asked Stephanie as she gave the kids toys to play with
"We'll worry about it when the time comes, for now we're just here as moral support for you and davy."said micky as he leaned against a wall
Glad that she and davy still had micky and Peter to rely on especially after everything that had happened between them the past few years, Stephanie knew that after all was said and done with davy taking care of his grandfather's funeral and other affairs, it would wind up being time for the four of them to say goodbye and go their separate ways.
