Chapter Eight
Keith walked back to where Tea sat hold her baby and he said "listen I know that I was a total bastard to you when you came to me, but if it's alright with you I'd like to get to know you and our baby better." What no one had noticed before but he was sporting a black eye and his jaw was bruised.
"What happened to your face?" Seto asked him.
Keith rubbed his jaw and told him "let's just say that I had some really good sense knocked into me and it helped to open my eyes as to what I could be missing if I didn't wake up and see what could be passing me by." Just then the door to Solomon's house opened up and Joey came in and he was favoring his right hand.
"Joey what happened?" Seto asked.
Keith walked over to Joey and offered him his hand and said "thanks for making me see the error of my ways." Joey smiled and said "your welcome. I couldn't see this beautiful little girl growing up and not getting to know her daddy."
Tea said "Joey please come here." When he was standing beside her she reached up and grabbed hold of his shirt and made him bend down and then she kissed his cheek and whispered "thanks and Heather thanks you too."
Keith looked at everyone there and then he said "I have to ask all of your permission, because you're now her family and I would like to come here and visit Tea and get to see my daughter." Solomon stood and walked over to Keith and he told him "you can come here anytime and see them, but I swear right here and now if you ever do anything to cause hurt either of them I will do my anything in my power to make damn sure that you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Keith looked around the room and then he said "I swear here and now that she will never have any reason to fear me and I will make sure that she and our daughter is loved for ever." Then he looked at Tea and asked "what is our daughter's name?"
Tea looked at Heather and then she told Keith "her name is Heather Marie Motto."
"That is a very beautiful name he told her. Then he said maybe some day she can have my name also." Tea will you and Heather have dinner with me tomorrow night?"
"I have an idea Seto said. Why don't you have dinner here and Joey and I will pay to have it catered. That way Tea doesn't have to take Heather out in the weather."
Tea smiled at Seto and she had tears in her eyes. "We accept" she said. Then she looked at Keith and told him "could you be here around four and that way you could spend time with our daughter before she goes to bed."
Keith knelt down and gave Tea a kiss on her cheek and said "I'll be here." Then he turned to leave, but Solomon stopped him.
"Before you leave would you like a picture of Heather to take with you?" Solomon asked him. He took a picture of her and handed it to Keith and as he looked down at the picture of his daughter he had tears running down his face. "Thanks" he said to Solomon as he walked out the door.
When Keith left the Motto residence he went to pay Mr. & Mrs. Gardner a little visit. "If you ever bother Tea or cause her anymore grief you will be so very sorry" Keith told them. Leave her and the baby alone. They understood especially when they could see his the look in his eyes and knew that he meant every word that he said. So Tea was never bothered by either of her parents from that time on.
