Ch9
After they left, the trip back home was in complete silence. Once home Rick left the car and still without a word. He walked directly towards his room and closed the door behind him, taking no note that Evy walked right behind him in search of an explanation. After he had closed the door Evy turned the knob and realized that it was not locked, she walked in mad because of the unexplainable behaviour of her husband.
"Now, I want to know where the hell did you get the bloody right to act like such and asshole?"
"Evy, not right now."
"Yes, now!"
"I really don't want to talk about this. Just leave me alone."
"Ok, so you make us all look like bloody uncivilized people, and then you expect me to leave it at that…"
"Listen, I said that I didn't want to talk about this. And I won't, now just leave me the hell alone." said he in a raised tone.
Evy didn't want to leave it at that, especially since it was not like him to act like that. He wasn't even looking at her, or even had since they had left.
"I do want to talk about this," said she going to him and taking his face in her hand so that he was looking her in the eyes.

Downstairs in the O'Connell Manor…
"What is going on?" asked Jonathan still sleepily.
"You don't want to know," said Alex still not understanding himself what was going on.
"You have to tell me something…why are your mum and dad fighting. I have to know what to stay away from," said Jonathan curiously as his sister and brother-in-law hardly fought yet when they did it was complete war.
"Well, we went to their friends place. Complete weirdos I might add. They started talking about babies and stuff. Then some old guy from America came in and then dad got all weird, we came home, they started fighting. And that is all I know," said Alex summing up the situation for his uncle.
"I see, well I better be going before I get any vases on my head, again!"
"Uncle John? Come on its not that bad…and that was actually funny."
" No it wasn't, you say that because it didn't happen to you. So from now on I chose to stay away from your parents when they are having their raised disagreements as they like to call it."

Upstairs….
As Evy raised his head, she saw that Rick's eyes were shinning as though he were to the point of crying. Before seeing his eyes, she was about to yell at him but seeing him like that changed her mind.
"Honey, what's wrong?"
Rick didn't say anything. Instead put his arms around Evy's waist and buried his head on her stomach. Still not understanding him, but seeing his reaction just caused Evy to gently touch his head.
"Honey will you talk to me, please," asked she feeling concern for her husband, but no answer came from him.
"Its him," Rick finally managed to say emotionally.
"Him who?"
"James…he is my father"
"What? How? I mean how do you know?"
"I remembered him…and then when he spoke…"
Once again he put his head against her and began to sob. Not being able to find the words to console him, Evy just simply let Rick let out his frustrations and disappointments on his own until his emotional animosity subsided.
**********
James was disappointed with the way that the meeting ended up unraveling. He wasn't expecting for his son to receive him with open arms but he had hoped that things would end up working out. Instead all he received was cold words and looks.
"He hates me…I don't blame him…he has a right to feel this way…"
"James, I am sure that things will end up going well, just give him time. It was all just a big shock to him. He wasn't expecting to see you, that's all," said Rich sympathetically.
"He is right James, just give Rick some time. He seems like a nice man who is very hurt," added Mary.
"I don't know. I don't think he will ever forgive me."
