Chapter Eleven
That evening after dinner they were all sitting in the family room where Mokuba and Joshua was watching a movie as Greta and Roland played a game of Gin Rummy and Joey and Seto sat on the other side of the room and they were talking.
Joshua looked at Mokuba and he said "Will my daddy and papa get back together so that we can come here to live?"
Mokuba smiled at him and he said "Their trying and that's all we can ask for." Then he got an idea and he whispered something to Joshua and he giggled and nodded that he agreed and that's when Mokuba got up unnoticed and he walked over to the to the stereo and he got one of Greta's favorite Cd's and he put it on and then he nodded to Joshua who said "Daddy would you dance with Papa?"
Joey and Seto looked at their son and then they looked at Mokie who had that innocent look and Seto smiled as he said "Alright we'll dance but only if Roland asks Greta to dance too."
Roland held out his hand and Greta smiled up at him and she took his hand and when the four of them walked over to the area and then Mokuba pushed the button and the song began and as he and Joshua watched them dance and as they sat there they listened to the words and it brought tears to not only their eyes but to the eyes of both of the couples and they held onto each other as they danced around the room to the song I'll Stand By You by Carrie Underwood:
Oh, why you look so sad? Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now.
Don't be ashamed to cry, let me see you through
Cause I've seen the dark side too.
When the night falls on you, you don't know what to do,
Nothing you confess could make me love you less
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.
So, if you're mad get mad, don't hold it all inside,
Come on and talk to me now.
And hey, what you got to hide? I get angry too
But I'm alot like you.
When you're standing at the crossroads, don't know which path to choose,
Let me come along, cause even if your wrong
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.
Take me into your darkest hour, and I'll never desert you.
I'll stand by you.
And when, when the night falls on you baby, you're feeling all alone,
You won't be on your own, I'll stand by you. I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you. I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour and I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you.
When the song was finished and the two couples stopped dancing Joshua and Mokuba wiped the tears from their eyes and Joey and Seto stood there and as they opened their arms both of the boys ran to them and as they held them both Roland and Greta held each other and they knew that after tonight Seto and Joey would fight to keep their marriage together and they walked out of the room and left the four of them alone and went to their room.
Seto looked down at his brother and his son and then he asked "Why did you pick that particular song?"
Mokuba then looked at his brother as tears ran down his face and he said "I wanted you two to get back together because I love you both" and then Joshua said as he looked up at his parents "I want us to be a family a real family and me and Mokuba will do anything we can to make that happen."
Joey looked at Seto and then back at the two boys and he said "That's what we want too, but we have a few things that we have to work out before we can be a real family."
Seto then said "Joey's right and I'm going to talk to someone who will try to help me see what I'm doing wrong and when I can figure that out then we will be able to become that family unit that we all want us to be."
Joshua grabbed hold of both Seto and Joey's hands and then he said "Just let me know what I can do to make this alright and I'll do it because I love both you daddy and you papa and you Uncle and I really want us to be a family, so tell me what I can do please."
Seto looked at Joey as tears filled their eyes and he said through his tear filled voice "Son you have done the one thing to help us to get together and that is you said that you love me as your papa and that was something that I really needed and now it is up to me to do the rest so just remember that you are our son the one thing that we love above anything else and we always will."
Mokuba held onto his brothers hand and Seto reached out to him and then Seto said "And you little brother, you gave me the will to go on and when I was so uncertain you nearly kicked me in the butt till I realize that I could love both Joey and our son and that we could become a family."
Joey smiled down at Mokie and he reached out and wiped the tears from his and Joshua's faces and then he said "I think that it's time we all get ready for bed. You two go get ready for bed and Seto and I will be up soon to tell you both goodnight."
Mokuba and Joshua both ran upstairs and as they got ready for bed Seto and Joey held each other and then Joey said "I want us to come back and live here because I can't stand the thought of being away from you and together we can find a way for you to find your way back to us, because with Vince's help that's just what you're going to do, come back to us."
They kissed each other and then they walked hand in hand up the stairs and they went to the boys room and as they listened to Joshua's prayers they kissed them and then they turned off the lights and closed the door and walked to Seto's room and as they closed the door then spent the night making love to each other knowing that soon with Vince's help Seto would become the man he always wanted to be.
The next day Roland and Greta took both Mokuba and Joshua to the movies so that when Joey's Uncle Vince came they would be alone and Seto could talked to him and they prayed that this man would be able to ease their oldest sons burden and help him become the man that they loved and knew he could be.
Vince came to the Manor and as Joey opened the door and thanked him for coming there he left them alone while Seto talked to Vince about what was keeping him from being the man he wanted to be. They were in the den for over two hours and as Joey sat in the kitchen he prayed that everything would work out for the man that he loved.
When they came out of the den, Seto was wiping his eyes and as they walked into the kitchen Vince said "Could you and Joshua stand to have a house guest for a few days?"
Joey went over to his Uncle and he shook his hand and he said "Thank you for helping Seto and I know that Joshua would love to have you stay with us as long as you can put up with Sammy and Piglet." Vince laughed till he was nearly crying as he said "Do you remember that damn dog that you and Rene had and how he tried to ruin my life and what did I do to him?"
Joey laughed out loud and then he said as he looked at Seto "We had a dog named Tramp and when Vince came to visit one time well Tramp didn't like him and he pooped in his good shoes and Vince took the shoes and Tramp outside and he shoved his nose in the poop and didn't stop till poor Tramp and the poop all over his face and that dog never did anything like that ever again to anyone especially to Vince."
Seto burst out laughing and he looked at Vince and he said "I still have to get to know Sammy and Piglet because our step-father never let us have any animals and I'm kind of scared of animals." Vince the said "Well maybe before I go home we can get you and the animals acquainted with each other."
That evening as they ate dinner, Joshua talked about the movie it was called Nim's Island and it was so funny and how he laughed so hard that he nearly wet his pants and how Roland blew pop out of his nose when he laughed. This got everyone laughing and then he looked at his daddy and papa and he asked "Could we go see the same movie tomorrow?"
Seto smiled at his son and he said "I'll call and see when the times that it's playing and we'll go see the movie and maybe Vince would like to go with us."
Joshua looked at his daddy's Uncle Vince and he asked "Would you come with us tomorrow to see the movie?"
Vince smiled at him and he said "That sounds like it will be fun so yes I'd love to come with all of you to see the movie."
Then Vince said "I'm going to be staying with you and your daddy for a few days and I'm going to be helping your papa to understand some things that are bothering him and just maybe when I leave your papa will be better and then you and your daddy can move in here and live as a family like your papa hopes you all can."
That evening as they were listening to their son say his prayers they said good night to both him and Mokuba and as they walked down the stairs to sit and talk to Vince for awhile, Seto said to Joey "You know that I've never seen a movie so this will be an experience for me and is it a really funny movie?"
Joey put his arm around Seto and he said "Just be careful that you don't blow pop out your nose when you laugh." Seto laughed and then he said "Thanks." Joey kissed him and they went back to the living room and they sat there and talked to Vince till it was late and then Seto showed Vince the room he could use and then they said good night and he and Joey went to his room where they fell asleep in each others arms.
