Chapter 36: You what?!
Dommy's POV
We've decided to tell Darci the news first. I never really wanted to do it in the first place but I went along with it cause... Well... I just couldn't wait to...
"Hey guys" Darci interrupted my thoughts as she answered the door.
"Hey Darc" Jeff replied as we followed her inside.
"So what's up guys? Jeff you said you had some big news for me" Darci stated as we all sat down in the living room.
"Ya well we wanted to tell you first cause you've always been close with us and you're gonna be my step mom sooner or later" Jeff started. I'm waiting for it, she's gonna be mad just like everyone else will be cause no one was there.
"Right" she answered uneasily
"Well... Dom and I... We went and got married"
And here it goes…"You guys eloped?!" Darci yelled. See I knew it would go like this. That's why I told Jeff that he had to do all the talking. This was a decision that we made together, granted it was more of an impulsive thing but still it was mutual.
"Ya, we did" Jeff answered
"Do you guys not care about any of us enough to have us there?" she yelled
"We do we just..." Jeff started to explain before Darci cut him off.
"No, if you wanted a small ceremony then we could have had one, you guys didn't have to run off and elope"
"But Darci" Jeff interjected
"I'll tell ya what, I'll let you guys tell everyone else cause I won't" Darci stated her peace then went upstairs so we left.
"See, I told you she'd be mad. They all will. I knew we shouldn't have done that" I stated on our way home.
"No no no don't even go there, you agreed to it too" Jeff yelled
"But you have to admit, it was your idea in the first place" I stated calmly cause I didn't wanna have an argument at this point in time.
"But you agreed to it" he yelled again
"Jeff please don't yell at me. We don't need to be mad at each other right now. Now is when me have to stick together" I had to explain it to him calmly, it took every ounce of me not to yell back.
He sighed "I guess you're right. I'm sorry" he stated then leaned over and gave me a kiss. "I guess I just thought they would be happy for us" he stated, obviously upset about it.
"They would be if they were there to see it" I said sweetly
"I guess so. That was just the first of many arguments wasn't it?" he asked, referring to the one between Darci and us.
"Ya, it was" I told him
Steph's POV
I had just laid the girls down for a nap and went downstairs to make myself some lunch when John walked in. "Daddy what are you doing home?"
"What's wrong Momma, you not happy to see me?" he asked with that infectious smile.
"I didn't say that. I'm just surprised that's all" I replied as I gave him a hug and a kiss. "But I still gotta ask, why are you home so early? You're not supposed to be back for another 2 weeks" I asked, I hope he didn't get in trouble or anything.
"Well I was talking with Vince" here we go "and he said that it's ok for me to wait until I'm ready" what is he talking about?
"What? You are ready, dad says so and Vince agrees with him"
He sighed "Physically I am ready. Mentally I'm not… in the school and in meetings my mind is wandering to other things" he explained
"Like what?" I asked with that attitude that says 'tell me what's more important'.
"You and the girls, especially Shelly. I know they're both a handful"
"Ok I understand, you wanna be here for us. But there's no better time than the present for you to chase your dream. We can handle it. Besides sooner or later I'm gonna be on the road too so we'll all be together. Granted the road isn't the best place for kids to grow up but we can make do. We've been through so much. So I'm sure well make it through in the years to come. So go call Vince and tell him you'll be back next week" I commanded the last part.
"Momma, you're always the voice of reason" he smirked
"I know" I smirked back "Now hurry and go call Vince so we can have some fun before the girls wake up" I stated, so he did.
Ashley's POV
I was just sitting in my room thinking about what I was gonna do when the doorbell rang, so I went to answer it "Hey Amy"
"Hey Ash. So how'd it go?" she asked as she pushed her way past me inside
"Ummm..." I started to explain before she cut me off.
"That's a beautiful necklace. Dave give it to you?" she asked
"No he didn't" I stated and looked down
"It was Ken wasn't it?"
"Ya"
"Lemme guess... You went to break up with him; he gave you this necklace then went into this spew about how he'll wait for you or something along those lines. So you didn't have the heart to tell him"
Wow that hits the nail on the head. When I hear it like that it sounds like a typical love triangle. Great, I'm in a movie. "Pretty much, ya"
She sighed one of those 'give me a break' sighs. "Ashley, I don't care what else he says or gives to you, you have to break up with him. Like I said before, he obviously caught on that you liked him just recently, so have you done anything different than what you've done for all these years"
"No, I've acted the same around him all the time"
"Then it's his fault he didn't catch on before now. Besides to me it seems like even if he did know before then he still wouldn't have acted on it cause even you had to admit he had a good thing going with Matt" she explained
"Ya he did, but that was Matt that fucked it up"
"I know, but you see what I'm getting at"
"Yes I do. I just don't know how to do it. He's just so sweet" that's what I love about him. But Dave's the same way; it's not like Dave treats me bad. Hell, Dave treats me as good as gold.
"Do you want me to go talk to Ken? Maybe he'll tell me some stuff that I need to know"
"I don't know" I was weary about that.
"It'll help you out to make this decision" Amy offered
"Alright, you can talk to him. But make sure he knows that you're the only one that knows, otherwise he'd probably blow a gasket"
"Ok, will do. I'll call ya later and let you know how it goes" Amy said and left. Hopefully it goes well.
