Hey everybody, sorry that it's been so long since I've updated, but real life REALLY sucks sometimes. I want to thank everybody that has reviewed this story, its meant a lot, especially crazy-wacky-cat. When I got your review I was so surprised, because you're one of my favorite ATWT fanfic writers...I love your stuff on Forbidden and on here.

Ok well here is the next part of my story...

God I love this girl, only Lucy Montgomery can think that having her boyfriend yell at the two most important people in life is funny. I'm sorta embarrassed though, I don't like the fact she's making a big deal about this, its that same that she does for me all the time; and she needed somebody to stick up for her, she was gonna cry and what kind of a guy would I be if I let her cry over me.

"Hey Princess I was just doing myself a favor, you know that I can't stand those two, they drive me up the wall. And I'd rather be driving you into the wall, then them making you cry"

He thinks I didn't hear that, the double meaning behind "drive you into the wall" Jeez, I know I'm younger and all but doesn't he think that I've heard that one before? He's the one that stopped us earlier, it sure as hell wasn't me, cuz if it was, I wouldn't be sitting here squirming in my seat.

"Ha Ha Dusty, just go get us some supper, I'm starving now."

He looks surprised at my tone, but gets up anyway, "Sure sweetheart, what do you want, a steak, or a cheeseburger?"

"What ever you're having is fine with me."

Ok I saw her fidgeting in her seat, and I saw that little bit of a blush when I made that joke, but why is she so mad all of a sudden? It was a joke already. I went into the kitchen and saw Aaron having his break, so I told him about the call earlier and that he shouldn't be having anymore trouble with that stupid fucker. He just laughs at my description and asks about Lucy. I tell him everything is fine, and that when he gets off his break to send out two cheeseburgers with only the lettuce, just the way that Lucy likes it. I also order us a pitcher of Pepsi, since I really don't see the point in rubbing it in that if she gets caught drinking in the club, that it would get us shut down. All sounds quite in the club as I make my way back to our table, and then I understand why its so quite, everybody except Lucy as left the club, and Lucy would have left if the moron she calls her father wasn't holding her at gun point...

"Jesus Christ Craig, why won't you just stay in jail??!!

"Why the hell won't you stay away from my 18 year old daughter Donavan? Why couldn't you just leave everything alone, why did you have to tell Lucy about my involvement? Do you get your kicks from taking my daughter away from me and becoming her Daddy?! Cuz you are you know, you are old enough to be her father, do you want to wake up every morning with her snuggled up beside you and know that you could be her father? God forbid you ever have kids, especially with Lullaby, but if you do, you'll be old, they kids father will look like there GRANDfather!"

All the things that Craig is saying are true. I am older than Lucy, I'm 38 years old, and I'm 20 years older than Lucy. She'll be in the prime of her life, stuck with I guy way past his. Maybe I should leave, leave Oakdale, and give Lucy a chance to go to college, and meet boys her own age...

I can see it, I can see Dusty's eyes as my father talks, and Dusty is so insecure about our age difference, he hates to have people tell him he's nothing but an old man, and I hate it too, because he's not, he's just right for me, he's a man not a boy... there it is, the lights in Dusty's eyes have finally gone out, he truly believes leaving me is for the best. Well he can try because I'm not giving him up without a fight!
