A/N: I'M SORRY THAT THIS CHAPTER IS SO SHORT.

Bobby had his hands on my arms but I was facing the ground. I was crying on my wedding day and it wasn't because I was happy; it was because my dad is a jackass.
Bobby put his index finger under my chin and lifted it up to face him. My eyes were bloodshot, my makeup running, my face all blotchy.
"Melody, you're beautiful. Anyone, hey look at me. Anyone who doesn't see that, is stupid and doesn't deserve to have you. Alright?"
"Yeah. I thought he stopped. I thought that once ma divorced him, Mikey, Mo, and me all moved out that he would stop doing this. It's just got worse. He's never tried to kill one of us kids like that. Yes, he has thrown me down the stairs but never tried to suffocate me."
"Ya wanna go home?"
"Ya sure that's okay with you?"
"I'll do anything if it makes you feel better."
"It's reason like this that I love you."
"I love you too."
Bobby went up to the microphone.
"Hi. Thanks for coming. As my wife said, we really appreciate it. This reception is over."
Everyone was gone except for Mo, Mikey, Ma, Bobby, and me. Bobby, Mikey, and Mo were loading all of the wedding gifts into our car.
"Thanks boys."
"You're welcome Melody. Go home, relax, and get some sleep okay?"
"Okay. Thanks. Bye."
"Bye Mel. Bye Bobby."
"Bye Melody and Bobby."
"Bye Sweethearts."
Bobby and me were in the car on the way home. I was looking out the window and Bobby was driving.
"Mel, you gotta stop blaming yourself. It's not your fault."
"I know. It's just...I can't help it."
We got home and unloaded the gifts. I went into the bathroom, showered, and went and layed under the covers in bed. I turned to Bobby.
"Bobby?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks. I mean thanks for Everything."
"You're welcome"
I nestled up into his arms and he just returned the favor.
"I love you Mrs. Caffrey."
"I love you too, Mr. Caffrey."
We fell asleep. When I woke up the next morning, I heard some kind of commotion going on in the living room area. I put on a robe and went to see what was going on. This much noise was not normal this early on a Saturday morning. It was only about 7:00 am. Bobby and I are going to spend our honeymoon at home so that we can get some stuff done. Bobby and Walsh were trying to put something together.
"Hey Bobby. Hello Billy."
"Hi Beautiful."
"Hey Melody."
"What are you guys doing?"
"We're trying to put some stuff together. Sorry if we woke you up."
"No, you guys didn't wake me up. Why don't you just read the instructions Bill?"
"Because your husband said no and because that they do not work ever."
"Bobby, why did you say no?"
"Because the instructions are stupid, don't work, and are in a different language. Besides, I'm smarter than that."
"Yes, you are."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
I walked up to him and kissed him. Billy asked me,
"When do I get my kiss?"
We were all smiling. We knew it was just a joke. I pushed his face away.
"I'm going to go take a shower."
"Okay."
I went in, took a showered, got dressed, did some other stuff, and went back into the living room. Bobby and Billy were still working on building a computer desk.
