Arnold knocked on Kriss' door
"Kriss" he called "can I come in?"
"Why?" she snapped, "what do you want?"
"Lilimay and Junior want to see Chloë and Theo" he said cheerily "can I have them?"
"No" Kriss shouted "you can't take them away from me, they're my children and you can't take them from me!"
"I'm not going to take Chloë and Theo away from you" he laughed "I just want to introduce them to Lilimay and Junior"
"Well they can come and see Chloë and Theo here with me!"
"Okay, I'll go and get them"
Arnold sort of understood where Kriss was coming from. Arnold felt a bit like this when she went with Dave and even more so when Llewey and Jim-Bexley were born. Suddenly it all became too much for Arnold. He had four children, FOUR, ten year old twins, just approaching their teens, the time when they start to become difficult. He thought Yvonne had brought them up quite well, they seemed quite good kids. Lilimay was polite and a delight to have around. Junior was quite quiet, but he was a ten-year-old boy, that was expected. At least Arnold thought that was expected. He had no experience of boys, well he had Theo but a three week old didn't even compare to ten year old Junior.
Once Arnold had taken it all in he carried on to get Lilimay and Junior to meet Chloë and Theo.
"Lilimay, Junior" he called "can you come with me?"
"Why?" asked Lilimay "where's Chloë and Theo?"
"Kriss wants you to go and see them!"
"Why" Lilimay didn't understand "why can't you bring them to us
Arnold didn't want to explain Kristine Kochanski to Lilimay. Kriss was very protective of her children especially Chloë, because she was her first born and Alicia-May because she was premature.
"Just come with me," Arnold muttered.
