David sat down on the sofa watching as Simon poured him and himself a scotch, when Simon passed it over to him, David felt an urge to tip it over his head. Simon sat in front of him, avoiding his gaze, "Look, I know what I did was terrible but I swear I never meant for you and Carol to get involved." He said in an apologetic tone but David roller his eyes, "And you think sorry is going to justify what you did?!" He snapped, keeping a tight grip on the glass. Simon felt his temper rising, "Will you listen to me for once in your life?!" He shouted and David rose to his feet. "Why should I listen to you?! You nearly got me and Carol in trouble with the old Bill but thanks to Carol Max decided not to press charges. Do you know something? I wish you never come back, you promised you would help me and Carol with Harry but you go behind our back and steal money of my brother in law to pay for an house?! You know I would have given the money if you asked!", Simon scoffed, "No you wouldn't, your as tight as a ducks arse, I'm also regretting coming to see you an all, you and Carol at it all the time, the baby squealing its head off, putting me of sleep, by rights you should have had him aborted. You'll end up doing the same as you did with your other kids!" David punched him in the face then and grabbed his jacket, "I've done nothing but look out for you Simon and you threw it back in my face. I love Carol and I love Harry and we don't regret him not one bit. Oh, it's his christening at the end of the month and if you don't turn up, I want you out of my life for good." He turned on his heel and left the flat, Simon watched him leave through a window and felt the tears coming, David was right. He was a selfish bastard.
David watched as Harry crawled on the bedroom floor and smiled. He could move so quickly. "I'll have to enter you in a baby crawling race." He said fondly and Harry continued crawling. Carol came in with two cups of tea and a dummy in her mouth. Placing the cups on the bar, she picked Harry up and sat him on her knee, putting the dummy in his mouth. "Did you speak to Simon then?" She asked as she gently bounced Harry on her knee, David nodded," Yeah, it was ok." He lied and Carol smiled. "I take it we will see him at the christening then?", David shrugged, "You never know with our Simon." He mumbled as he held Harry's hand, Carol passed him over to him."We never know with uncle Simon do we?" He said to Harry who just looked at him.
As David got into bed, he watched Harry sleeping and smiled. Harry was so gorgeous to look at and David was enamoured with him as was Carol but Simons words had penetrated him and David felt as if what he was saying was actually going to happen but David was determined to prove him wrong.
