Fenton glanced at his sons, he and Carson had only been there a few hours but the tension in the whole house was almost unbearable. Fenton sat down in front of Frank, "you okay son?" He just shrugged. Fenton placed his hand on his knee, "son." Frank looked up at his dad, "I can't, dad." He stood up and walked away. Fenton sighed and looked over at Carson.

Carson was starting to walk a little but still had to be in the chair but he was thankful that Joe had thought ahead and had a chair pop out from the wall to take him up or down the stairs. Carson rolled by Fenton, "can you take my chair to the top for me?" Fenton nodded and helped Carson.

Once Carson was at the top he looked at his friend, "don't worry they will get over this." Fenton turned and looked at the man, "I hope you are right. This might kill Frank." Carson put his hand on the man's arm, "we just won't let it." Fenton nodded and walked back down the steps. Carson rolled into the sunny living area and saw Nancy sitting laughing with Bess. "Hi girls, this looks like the old days," he smiled as they both looked at him and giggled.

"Dad, you are looking fairly well." Nancy gave her dad a huge hug which he returned. Bess stood up and looked at them, "Hi Mr. Drew. I will just go check on the girls." Carson nodded at Bess as she darted out the door. Carson studied his daughter, who looked frail fragile, "sweet daughter, you can't continue like this." She sat down by her dad and slump her shoulders over as she started crying, "I can't do it Daddy. I'm afraid."

Carson rubbed his hand on his daughters back, "of what?"

"He seems so different. He has anger problems. He ignored Lizzy the whole time I was gone. He almost hurt Anna. He was willing to break a million laws. That's…. well… he just isn't the man I married."

"Nancy Elizabeth Hardy. He was willing to do those things because he loved you. He loves you so much. That's why he couldn't keep his anger in check. He was losing his whole world. You."

"Daddy, I…"

"I don't want to hear it. The two of you need to talk and sort this out. You weren't raised to run away from things and I don't expect you to start now."

Nancy nodded, "Okay dad. I love you." She hugged him tight and kissed his cheek. She did need to talk to Frank but she still didn't know what to say. She slowly walked into the bedroom that was supposed to be their room. Nancy slept in the bed and tried every night to get Elizabeth to sleep with her but she still got fussy with her easily. Frank slept on the couch in one of the living area, but he did lay with Elizabeth during her nap time.

She crept into the room and saw Frank staring at her as soon as she entered. She glanced down at Elizabeth, who was cuddled up sleeping with Frank. "How can she be so comfortable with you?" Frank frowned and the hurt in his eyes were evident, "I wasn't a horrible father the whole time you were gone." He spoke softly and calmly so Elizabeth wouldn't be startled.

Nancy sat on the edge of the bed, "you ignore her." Frank shook his head, "would you like me to elaborate?" Nancy nodded her head and he continued, "I didn't always 'ignore' her. I was there and took care of her some. I was so focused on finding you that I wasn't the best dad. I should have focused more on her. I was trying to bring her mother home to her. I wanted my family whole again. It isn't like I ever stopped loving Elizabeth."

"Frank, she should have been your main focus. She is your daughter."

"You are my wife. I love you both with everything in me. I couldn't think or imagine raising her without you. The past didn't need to be repeated. Not finding you alive and safe that wasn't a choice for me."

"Frank… I understand why you did what you did, but that still doesn't dismiss your actions."

"I understand that, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to correct it. I love you with everything in me Nancy Hardy. I love our daughter just as much. Don't push me away."

"I can't Frank. I really need time to wrap my head around everything. I feel we are both different people now."

"No, Nancy. I love you." Frank was almost in tears. He was panicking he didn't like the way Nancy was talking and he couldn't lose her. Elizabeth started stirring and then wailed. Nancy rushed to her and tried to rock her but she kept reaching for Frank. Frank took his daughter and rubbed her back and slowly she started to calm back down. Nancy looked like she could shoot flames through her eyes, "why? I protect her and you ignore her. She wants you over me."

"Nan, I have just been around her more lately. I didn't ignore her as much as you are assuming."

"Just shut up Frank."

Frank stood up and put his free hand on Nancy's shoulder, "wait." She turned and looked at him tears were falling down her face. "I love you so much. You are my wife and mother of my gorgeous baby girl. I have something for you." He quickly reached over to the dresser and grabbed a DVD, "we made this for you. Dad brought it in. Its video recordings we all are in it but I didn't want you to miss anything. We did as much as we could." Nancy took the disk and mumbled, "thank you," then walked out the door shutting it leaving Frank holding Elizabeth.

Anna walked into the kitchen. They had been in London almost a week and she gotten the business taken care of that she needed too. Laura was making food, like she did most days for them. Anna plopped down in one of the stools where the island was, "afternoon." She smiled at her and placed a bottle of water in front of her, "where did you dash off to this morning?"

Anna smiled grateful for the water and took a sip, "I went for a morning walk with Kendall which happened to take us a couple of blocks down to the office building I'm buying. Well bought, still a lot of stuff to go through but it's now in the Grant Enterprise family."

"That's wonderful sweetheart. Your father would be extremely proud of you. How are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling some better. I'm at least able to keep some food down. I have an appointment coming up. When do you guys want to go home?"

"Whenever you want to we can. Is Nancy doing okay? She will hardly talk to me."

"Nancy was doing well for a while but she seems so resentful to all of us. Frank thought that the DVD would help but I believe it made things worse."

Laura nodded and got a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her, "here sweetie, you need some food."

"Thank you." She picked up the soup and took a bite full, "very yummy." Laura smiled as she went back over to the stove. Anna quickly ate another bite.

"What smells so good?" Anna turned to see Bess and smiled at her, "soup. I'm sure Laura will give you a bowl." Bess smiled and within seconds she had a bowl full in front of her as she sat down beside Anna, "thanks Mrs. H."

"No problem. What have you been up too?"

"I took Nan shopping." Bess replied as she took a bite and quickly spoke her thanks. Laura and Anna both stared at her and Anna spoke, "how is she around you?"

Bess laid her spoon down and looked at them both, "she isn't the same, but I guess that is to be expected." Laura turned and went back to cooking but Anna wasn't going to drop it that easily, "did she say anything about Frank?"

"She talked about not knowing if she wanted to stay with him. She just doesn't seem the same."

"Oh Bess, how do we get our Nan back?"

"I wish I knew." Anna nodded at Bess and went back to eating.

It had been a few more days in London but everyone was more than ready to go home. They were on the plane and even though it was a big plane it was definitely crowded with that many people in the plane. Nancy was in a corner by herself and Anna frowned. Frank had Elizabeth, who Nancy was starting to be standoffish even with her daughter. Kendall was asleep in her car seat. Anna kissed Joe, "honey, I am going to talk to Nancy." Joe nodded and she slipped away passing Laura who was asleep on Fenton's shoulder. He was reading something on his IPad. George and Biff were asleep. Bess was shopping on her IPad. Carson was asleep also. Nancy was at the very back against the window.

"Mind if I join you?" Anna said and Nancy looked up at her. She shrugged her shoulders and Anna sat down beside her, "Nancy you have gradually pushed us all more and more away the longer you are back with us."

"How can you expect me to act like nothing happened?"

"What is it that you want from us? Frank made mistakes but he owned his mistakes. He loves you and Elizabeth is slowly getting use to you again. We all love you."

"I can't be part of this family anymore."

"What? Nancy, you have no reason to feel this way."

"I don't want to talk about it. I have already spoken to Frank and it's clear we will have to fight custody issues in court."

"Nancy, I hope you will reconsider and realize how much we all love and care for you. Frank is your world. Don't do this." Anna stood up and walked away as tears fell down her eyes. Frank looked at her and she mouthed, 'why didn't you tell me?' He shook his head and mouthed, 'later.' She nodded and looked at Joe. The tears fell and he just hugged her.

I hope things get resolved soon. Poor Frank and Nancy... Hope you enjoy! Please read and review :)
