**Thanks to Lisa, Mysticalfem, and Kanes Mistress for the reviews, I really
appreciate it! Please continue to read and review!**
Trish held back a little as Dave walked over to where Angie was standing with the girls. Dave could tell that Trish was a little nervous, so he reached back and held her hand. She squeezed it tight.
They got up there and Angie took a look at Trish and went to open her mouth to say something when Dave turned and started walking towards her car. "Dave what are you doing?" Angie hollered to him, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to get your boyfriend out of the car because this will impact him too." Dave shouted back. He tapped on the window and motioned for him to get out of the car. He slowly got out of the car. Dave smirked a little, "Why don't you join us?" The guy was a real skinny almost dorky looking man who couldn't stand up to Dave for anything.
Angie leaned over to Trish, "I hope you know what you're getting yourself into, he is not an easy man to live with. He does have a dark side to him."
Trish just smiled a little and stayed quiet. Dave got back to the group, "Angie, introduce me to your friend."
Angie shot him an evil look, "Scott, this is my ex-husband Dave," Angie emphasized the "ex" "And Dave, this is my boyfriend Scott."
Dave reached out to shake his hand, Scott reached out and couldn't get over the grip that Dave had. When they pulled away, Scott had to shake his hand a little to regain feeling.
"Your turn, introduce us to your friend." Angie said glaring at him. She was so jealous of his new girlfriend. She couldn't believe that he had moved on, he told her that he would love her forever and now he had a girlfriend?
Dave smiled, "Angie, Scott, this is my girlfriend Trish, Trish, this is my ex-wife Angie and her boyfriend Scott."
Trish smiled and reached out to shake their hands. She decided that she wasn't going to let herself be scared anymore, she was going to step up to the occasion and not back down. "Hi, it's nice to meet you." She said to them.
Dave looked at Angie, "Would you like to start?"
Angie looked at the girls, "Well, as you know, the household has been a little rocky lately, and I know that the transition from the divorce was difficult, and then the move was even more difficult for you guys. So, your dad and I talked, and if you feel more comfortable living with him, I'm not going to hold you back."
Aly and Jenni looked at her, "What?"
Dave nodded, "Girls, your mom and I want what's best for you. If you're not happy here, yes you have the option of living with me. Now some details would have to be worked out as far as if you would want to be on the road with me all of the time, and have a tutor. Or if you would want to live with your Aunt Ashley and go back to your old school and participate in different activities and you would see me on my days off. That we would discuss. But, we're leaving it up to you girls."
Angie looked at them, "Now if one of you wants to go and one of you wants to stay, that's ok. Don't think that the both of you have to do it. And neither of you have to, we're just laying the option on table for you."
Aly and Jenni looked at each other, "Can we have a couple minutes?"
"You don't have to decide right now," Angie started, but Aly interrupted her.
"I know."
They walked off and left the 4 adults standing in a circle discussing the little details. Aly looked at Jenni, "Can you believe it? She's going to let us move in with dad!"
Jenni looked down to the ground, "Aly, I don't know if I want to move in with dad. I really like where we're at. I finally fit in, no one gives me flack about being a wrestlers daughter. I'm into my sports, and I don't think that I want to go."
Aly looked at Jenni, "I didn't think that you would want to. You've always been mommy's girl, and I've always been daddy's girl. I'm going to take him up on his offer. I can't take it there anymore. Are you mad?"
Jenni shook her head, "No, I'm not mad. But I am going to miss you."
"We'll stay in touch through e-mail and the phone, and we'll see each other on school holidays, I promise. Sisters through and through?" Aly said to Jenni.
"Sisters through and through." Jenni replied and the girls hugged. They walked over to the adults. "Mom, Dad, Scott, Trish, we've made up our minds." Jenni started.
"I would like to go with you dad." Aly said to him.
"And I'm going to stay with you mom." Jenni said to her.
Everyone nodded. "Well, why don't you guys follow us to the house and she can get some things." Angie suggested. "Girls, you can ride with Scott and I."
Everyone departed to their vehicles. Dave and Trish hopped in the car. Trish looked at Dave, "How did you get her to agree to that?"
"We've been arguing about it for days now, and today I was able to face her and I proved my point." Dave said with a smile. "Now, I'm glad that she took the girls because I wanted to talk to you alone. I know that you've never dated anyone with kids, is this going to bother you at all if she chooses to go on the road with us?"
"No, it won't. She reminds me a lot of my kid sister, and we get along really well. If anything, I think it'll be a lot of fun. The only thing that scares me is the whole ex thing. To be totally honest, she makes me a little nervous." Trish confessed.
"Don't let her make you nervous. I'll take care of her. Did you see that nerd of a boyfriend she has? I can bet you anything, Jenni will call us next week and she won't be dating him anymore." Dave said to Trish.
"Why do you say that?" Trish asked curiously.
"Because he's not her type. She likes bigger guys that have an intimidation factor to them. I bet that the next guy she dates will either resemble me body type wise or will be a biker like Taker. She experiments around, but she likes to feel protected." Dave responded. "We've been together since forever. I know how she is."
Trish laughed and held his hand. She couldn't help but wonder what Angie meant by Dave has a dark side.
They arrive at the house and Angie was already inside. "Aly, I had packed most of your clothes in the they were in the trunk, but I figured that you would want to come and get some of your personal belongings too."
Aly nodded and ran up the stairs.
Dave walked up behind Angie and hugged her, "Thanks again, I really think that this will work out for the best for her."
"You'd better get off me before you're little blonde girlfriend will get jealous." Angie said to him pushing his arms off.
"She knows that we are friends and that we're pretty much like best friends most of the time. And she has a name, don't go getting jealous on me now Ang, you've been dating forever."
Angie spun around, "What do you mean by that? I haven't been dating forever, I've been dating Scott for a couple weeks."
Dave cut her off, "And you dated John for a month. Don't think that the girls don't tell me when you have a boyfriend. And by the way, my little blonde girlfriend's name is Trish, and you can call her Trish."
Angie shook her head in frustration and started to walk off.
"What's the matter hon, cat got your tongue?" Dave said with a chuckle.
"Fuck you Dave," Angie said to him as she walked up the stairs to check on Aly.
Dave laughed and put his arm around Trish, "That's what our marriage was like. Up and down, we were more like friends then like a couple."
Trish shook her head, "Wow, I bet that made things interesting around here."
"Why do you think that it worked for so long with me not around?" Dave asked. He smiled and gave Trish a kiss on the top of her head. "From here, we'll go to the airport and we'll fly up to Toronto so you can do your thing."
Trish nodded. "I hope you guys like my house."
"It's yours isn't it? That makes it great already!" Dave said with a smile.
Aly came downstairs with a Rubbermaid tote and Angie was carrying a box Dave took the tote from Aly and put the box on top of it and loaded it into the car along with the box from Angie's trunk.
Aly gave Jenni a hug and Angie a hug, " I love you guys, and I'll stay in touch."
"Take care of my girl Dave, I mean it." Angie said to him while giving him a shove.
Dave turned around and gave Angie a little shove and ruffled Jenni's hair, "As long as you take care of my girl."
Jenni gave Trish a hug, "Take care of Aly and Dad for me, Dad needs love to keep him a little soft." She said with a smile, "It was really nice getting to know you."
Trish hugged her back and felt herself getting teary, she sniffled, "Thanks, it was nice getting to know you too, and I can't wait to see you again. I'll take good care of them for you." She felt so special knowing that Jenni liked her.
Dave gave Angie a light hug, "Friends?"
"Friends you big doof, now get off of me and go on." Angie said to him with a light shove.
Aly went over and hugged Angie, "Thanks for everything mom, I promise, I'll do my best to improve."
"If I don't see improvement, you're coming home, ok?" Angie said to her firmly and held her. "I love you Aly, take care of yourself and listen to your father."
"I will, I promise." Aly said.
Trish, Dave, and Aly hopped in the vehicle and waved as they pulled away from the house. Trish squeezed Dave's hand with a smile. He smiled and squeezed her hand back.
Dave looked in the rear-view mirror at Aly, "Well, are you ready for a new adventure?"
Aly smiled and looked at him, "Aren't I always?"
Dave looked at Trish, "She's my girl, same mentality as me. Drives her mom nuts, but I think it's great."
Trish smiled and laughed. All she could think to herself was how comfortable she felt. And Dave was right, from this point on, her life was going to be a new adventure. A new adventure that she felt ready for.
**Well, sorry it took so long. I feel so bad about not updating sooner, but I just got a new position at work, so I've had to try and tie up loose ends before I leave. Thank you for being so loyal and please read and review!**
