Dave got back to the room shortly before he has to wake the girls up. Him and Nidia had spent most of the night together, and he was still feeling some of the affects of drinking for most of it. He went to lay down to relax a little when Natalie woke up crying.

Dave grumbled and he walked over to her playpen. She had been so fussy and irritable and clingy lately that Dave's nerves were shot. He got to her playpen and picked her up roughly, he growled at her, "What's the problem?" Even though it was his fault that he was so tired.

Her eyes filled with tears and her bottom lip popped out. She locked eye contact with Dave and he could see the fear in her eyes. "Dada?" She said to him. It was the first time he had ever heard her say it. The girls talked about it and he had blown them off.

It had finally sunk in how horrible he had been treating her lately, his heart sunk and he held her close and rubbed her back. Tears were streaming down his cheeks, "baby girl I'm so sorry. I've been such a horrible father lately."

Nattie burrowed her head into Dave's shoulder and she started to fall back to sleep. Dave rested his head against hers as reality sunk in. He couldn't believe that he had let his own demons turn him into a horrible father. He sat down on the bed and gently rocked her while humming to her. When the alarm went off, he jumped a little which caused Nattie to stir, but she didn't wake up. He gently laid her in the playpen and went into the bathroom and washed his face.

When he walked out he found Aly was already up and getting ready, but Jenni was still sleeping. " Morning Aly." Dave said to her. She was another child that he had been treating badly. They never used to fight, and it seemed like that was all they ever did lately.

She turned to him, "Morning. I'll get Jenni up in a minute, she didn't sleep well last night. And I'll get Nattie going as soon as I pull my hair up in a ponytail, she seems to think it's funny to pull it all the time."

"It's ok Aly, I'll get Natalie ready, you just try waking your sister up, or maybe we'll just have to resort to drastic measures." Dave said with a smile.

Aly knew that back when Dave was himself, if either of them didn't wake up like they were supposed to they would clown around and put ice on them, or tickle them, or something silly and fun like that. They hadn't done anything like that in so long Aly couldn't remember the last time they had. She looked at him and grinned, "Really?"

"Really."

"You know, I tried for a long time and she wouldn't budge, I don't think we have much choice." Aly said to him.

"Well, you know what to do." Dave said motioning towards Jenni.

Aly went over to the bed and pulled the covers off of her and Dave put an ice cube on the back of her neck.

Jenni jumped up with a shriek, "What the." Then she seen Dave and Aly laughing so she started laughing too.

Dave calmed down, "Alright girls, let's start packing the car so we can head out of here."

Aly started grabbing things to bring to the car while Jenni changed out of her pajamas. Jenni got Natalie ready for Dave so he could bring the heavy things down to the car.

Soon everyone was in the car and they were headed to Trish's for the weekend.

*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*

Trish woke up and headed downstairs, she knew that she had a lot to do before everyone got to the house. She started to make breakfast and turned on the radio and began to sing along while she cleaned up. When the song was done, she heard someone clear their throat, she turned around and there was Missy and Randy. Trish turned bright red, "Don't you guys ever announce your entrance?"

Randy shook his head, "No not really, what about you Melissa?"

Melissa shook her head, "No, it's much more fun when you sneak up on someone."

Trish stuck her tongue out at them, "I thought that I would make us breakfast since we'll be combining lunch and dinner. Dave and the girls will fly in at 12:30 p.m. and Dave rented a car so we don't have to go and get them."

Melissa and Randy went and sat at the table, "Sounds like you have everything squared away." Melissa commented.

"Yeah, I try to be somewhat organized." Trish said with a laugh. She dished them up breakfast and they all ate breakfast together and talked about what all would be going on that day.

*~*~*~*~**~*~*~***~~*~**~~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~~**~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*

Dave and the girls arrived in Toronto as scheduled and they got to their rental car and loaded it up and headed off to Trish's house. They pulled in the driveway and the girls got excited. Dave grabbed Natalie, and Jenni walked in the front door. "Trish?" She called.

Trish came down the stairs, "Jenni!" And she ran down to greet them. She gave Jenni a hug and took Nattie from Dave and gave him a kiss and nuzzled Nattie, Trish hugged Aly and led them to the living room. "How have you guys been?"

The girls started talking about everything that had been going on with them lately, and Trish played with Nattie while sitting next to Dave.

After the girls finished explaining everything Dave looked at them, "Why don't you bring your stuff up to your rooms and we'll then we'll make pizza."

The girls jumped up and grabbed their stuff and headed upstairs to their rooms.

Trish set Nattie on the floor by some of her toys that Trish pulled out and her and Dave slipped into the kitchen. Dave pulled Trish to him and gave her a passionate kiss, "I've missed you."

Trish smiled and held him, "I've missed you too. But there's something that I need to forewarn you about."

"What's that?" Dave asked.

Randy and Melissa came in from the backyard through the sliding patio door in the dining room, "Hey Dave." Randy said to him.

Melissa smiled a shy smile, "Hi Dave."

Trish smiled, "Melissa moved back in with me since the last time we talked."

"Hey guys." Dave said with a smile. He couldn't believe that Melissa had moved back in with Trish. He felt really awkward being around her in front of Trish now.

Aly walked into the kitchen, "Whoa, Melissa, when did you get pregnant? How long till you're due?" She turned to Randy, "Way to go Randy!" She said slugging Randy in the shoulder, leaving Randy speechless.

Melissa turned bright red and looked towards Trish who in turn looked towards Dave, "You didn't tell the girls?" Trish said quietly to Dave.

Dave took a deep breath, he hadn't even thought to tell the girls. He didn't know how to tell the girls, He smiled meekly at Trish, "No I hadn't yet."

"Aly, can you do me a favor? Run up to my room and grab the green photo album off of my nightstand." Trish asked Aly.

"Sure, no problem." Aly said as she left the kitchen.

Melissa turned towards Randy, "I'm sorry." She said quietly.

He smiled at her and rubbed her shoulder, "No big deal, it would be my honor." He said sticking his chest out like he was really proud.

Trish looked at Dave, "I'll explain it delicately, don't worry about it."

"I don't want to put this on your shoulders," Dave started to say when Trish interrupted him.

"It's ok, let's go out to the living room for a minute." Trish said leading the way.

Aly and Jenni came downstairs carrying the photo album.

"Girls, come sit by us, we need to have a talk." Trish said motioning for them to sit on the couch.

They looked at each other and quickly walked to the couch. Aly handed Trish the album, "Is this the right one?"

"Yup it sure is. Thanks for getting it for me." Trish said to her. She looked at the two older girls, "As you guys can see my sister is very pregnant, she's due really soon, and she's living with me right now. But, I need to explain something to you guys so you have to let me know if you get confused, ok?"

Jenni raised her hand, "Trish, we know where baby's come from and we know why, so you don't have to have the birds and the bees talk with us."

Everyone laughed, "That's not what she's doing." Dave said to her.

Jenni quickly shut up and looked down feeling embarrassed.

"Do you guys remember when I was really sick?" Trish started.

The girls nodded.

"Good, when I was really sick, the doctors found out that I had cancer and that I couldn't have children anymore. At that time, your dad and I were still together and we had talked about having a child of our own, and it was really hard for me to deal with knowing that I wouldn't be able to do that. So, my sister Melissa volunteered to carry the baby for me, so that the baby would still have your dad as the dad. So, technically, Randy isn't the father of the baby. Here are the ultrasound pictures of the baby." Trish said handing them over to the girls.

Jenni started looking at the pictures and pretty much blew off everything that that Trish had said. She wasn't overly concerned with how Melissa got pregnant. But Aly didn't just blow it off. It just didn't make a lot of sense and there seemed to be some holes in the story. When she looked at the ultrasound pictures and looked at the conceived date on them, she started to ponder. "Missy, when are you due?" She asked curiously.

"8 weeks from yesterday." Melissa replied.

Aly nodded her head and kept looking at the pictures. "Why doesn't this make complete sense?" She asked herself.

After everyone was done looking at the photos, Trish stood up and asked who wanted to help her make pizza, and the girls flocked into the kitchen with her. Dave stopped and looked at Melissa, "I'm sorry for putting you two on the spot like that, I just hadn't gotten around to telling them."

Melissa looked at him, "It's ok, I'm just glad that they didn't have any more questions." And she walked into the kitchen to help out.

After the pizzas were made and in the oven cooking, Aly and Jenni took Natalie out to the backyard to play and Melissa and Randy went upstairs for awhile, so it was just Trish and Dave.

Trish went and sat down by Dave and laid her head on his shoulder, "I've really missed you."

Dave was starting to get antsy and agitated, and that was part of the reason why the girls took Natalie outside because they had gotten used to his irritability and knew when things were going to get heated. "I've missed you too." He replied shortly. "What's on tv?"

"I'm not sure, I haven't looked. Last night Randy, Melissa and I stayed up playing board games till late, so I haven't even had the thing on lately." Trish replied noticing Dave's mood swing. *~*~*~~*~~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*

MEANWHILE.

Aly and Jenni sat in the back yard and watched Natalie explore what grass is. Aly looked at Jenni, "I told dad that you didn't sleep well last night, and his eyes twitched, but he didn't say anything."

"Have you seen how he's been acting? It's like he was back to his oldself again, but now he's starting to get weird again." Jenni said sadly.

"I think I'm going to talk to Trish about it, this is just too weird." Aly said to Jenni. "Besides, I have other things that I need to talk to her about."

"Like what?" Jenni asked.

"I'll tell you later, I have to be for sure first." Aly said. "Can you watch Nattie? I'm going to check on something."

"Sure?" Jenni replied. And Aly got up and headed into the house.

She walked up to where Dave's luggage was and took out the shirt that he had been wearing on his overnight disappearance. She smelled it and smelled like perfume and all sorts of different scents. She knew that Trish was doing laundry first thing in the morning and sent it down the laundry shoot. "He will not hurt her or us anymore." Aly vowed to herself and headed back outside.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~~**~*~**~~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~**~*~*~*~

The timer went off and soon everyone was sitting in the living room around the tv with pizza and soda and talking about different things. Natalie started to cry loudly, and Dave could feel his blood start to boil. He got up to get her but Trish stood up and grabbed him, "Sit down and eat, I'll get her." She went over to her and picked her up and rubbed her back. She gave her a teether and brought her over to the table on her lap.

Dave watched how Nattie behaved with Trish and she didn't fuss as much nor did she seem to cry as much. "Was she able to pick up on his secrets?" He wondered to himself.

After dinner was over Trish started to clean up and Randy and Melissa took off for awhile so it could just be the 5 of them for awhile. Trish cleaned up while Aly and Jenni started their homework and that left Dave in charge of Nattie. As the day had progressed, Trish noted how Dave's attitude got worse and worse and how he would get really shaky as it got later and later.

Everyone came back downstairs at 7:00 p.m. and they all sat together and watched a movie. After the movie was over, they sent Aly and Jenni to bed and put Natalie down in her crib and now finally it was just Dave and Trish.

Dave and Trish talked about what was going on on Raw and on Smackdown, and they started to get closer and began to kiss. Soon the two were making out and things were starting to get pretty steamy. "Dave, we should go to our room." Trish whispered in his ear.

The two made it upstairs to her room when Dave picked her up and laid her on the bed. He practically ripped her clothes off, and the two were getting pretty hot and heavy. Dave was radiating heat and he was sweating a lot more than Trish remembered, but at that point she didn't care. She just knew that she wanted him more than ever.

Trish rolled over so she was on top of him and began to ride him. First she started off slowly and began to speed up. Dave was so aroused he didn't know if he could control himself, all of a sudden, they could hear Natalie wailing. Trish looked at Dave and seen how upset he was, "Dave, I'll get her" Trish said as she started to get up.

Dave grabbed her tightly and pulled her back down, "She can wait, she's fine. We're going to finish" Dave growled.

Trish's eyes filled with fear but Dave didn't even notice. He rolled her over and began to thrust quickly and forcefully. "There was no way he was going to let her spoil this" he thought to himself. Soon Dave came and he laid down on top of Trish and wouldn't let her get up.

"Dave, Natalie is still crying, I'll go get her." Trish offered.

Dave became enraged, "No, she can cry a bit, all that child does is cry. I'm so tired of her crying and fussing."

Trish looked at Dave, "Dave, are you ok?"

"Of course I'm ok why would you ask?" Dave said defensively to her.

Trish pushed him off of her forcefully and she got up, "Because you have not been yourself all night. You're short-tempered, you don't have the time of day for the girls and that is so unlike you. Natalie is teething, she's in pain Dave, that's why she wants someone to hold her and to soothe her."

"I'm just fine, you don't need to concern yourself with how I am. And she has been fussy and irritable for so long now I think that she forgot how to be happy." Dave argued back.

Trish stood up furious, she looked him in the eyes, "If you're so fine, then why is your face all red? Why are you so shaky? Why is your temper to the point of where you could explode? All because your daughter is crying? I don't think so. At least I hope not, I'm going to get her, I'm going to calm her down, I'm going to put her back to bed and then we're having a serious talk." She said sternly. She quickly threw a nightgown on and stormed out of the room.

"There's nothing to talk about, so you might as well save it." Dave said getting out of bed. He couldn't control his urges anymore. Trish was right, something wasn't alright, he needed his fix now before he exploded. He went over to his bag and dug around in it. He grabbed his little case and headed into the bathroom.

Trish walked into Natalie's room and turned on the dim light, She looked at the crib and started yelling for Dave.

Dave had just opened the case and started to sort through it when he heard Trish yelling for him, he shut it and jammed it into the pocket of his robe, "Damnit now what?" He said to himself and threw open the bathroom door.

He found Trish holding Natalie, "Dave, she's bleeding from the mouth, I think she hit her head on crib, and she's burning up." Trish said nervously.

Dave took Natalie from Trish without even saying a gentle word to her and stuck his finger in her mouth, he felt around and handed her back to Trish, "She's fine, her tooth cut through. I'll go get her some Tylenol." He said to her. He came back and gave Natalie some Tylenol, "That should help her to fall asleep and kill some of the pain."

"Wait a minute, she just cut her first tooth?" Trish asked. "Dave that's great, don't you want to give her a hug and a kiss or tell her congratulations or something?"

Dave went and kissed her on the head. As he did, Natalie cooed and said "Da Da."

Trish's eyes filled with tears, "Dave, she's so precious."

Dave smiled and gave the two of them a hug, "I'm going to go to the store and get her some teething tablets. I'll be back."

He pulled a pair of track pants and shoved the contents of his robe into the pocket and grabbed a t-shirt and kissed her on the cheek and left.

Trish sat down in the rocking chair with Natalie and couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. Dave's temper was definitely out of control. Now she could see why Aly was so upset. He treated the girls like they were non- existent except to give them their schoolwork, he wasn't willing to help them with it, and he had no time for Natalie. She reasoned with herself that Dave had had so much going on in his life that he is just getting burned out. "Maybe I should take you guys for awhile." Trish said snuggling with Natalie. "Maybe that will help to cheer your daddy up."

**What is in the case that Dave was trying to take? What all is Dave hiding from Trish? What does Aly suspect? If you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know!! Thanks for the support and please read and review!!**
