Chapter 18

Kenny's POV

The night at home, I order carry out for me and the kids to celebrate getting off for a crime I didn't commit. I'm honestly not in much of a celebrating mood. I have to come to terms with Little Kevin being gone on top of everything else I'm dealing with. It doesn't help that my kids are giving me a hard time.

"So what's going to happen to mommy?" Johnny asks.

"Hopefully she'll pay for lying to all of us!" Sadie tells him.

"Can you help her dad?"

"I don't know if I can." I tell him. "She committed a serious crime."

"Is she going to go to jail?"

"I don't know buddy."

"I don't want her to. You need to try to help her! She's your wife!"

"Not for much longer I hope..." I mumble to myself.

"Maybe Craig will make sure she doesn't go to jail. He loves mommy!" I cringe every time one of the kids mentions that name in my house.

"He may end up in there with her."

"How?"

"Johnny stop asking so many questions! You're upsetting daddy!" Sadie chastises Johnny which causes Johnny to cry.

"I'm upset too! I don't want mommy to go to jail. Don't you care?"

Sadie nods. "I do, but I also think she should pay for what she did!"

"Kids, please stop fighting!" I step in. "I don't want this to come between you guys. You're brother and sister and you shouldn't fight."

"I want to see mommy right now!" Johnny stands up.

"Johnny, right now isn't a good time."

"Johnny leave daddy alone! He has enough going on." Sadie tells him.

"We do too! We're going to have a new brother or sister." When Johnny says that, it hits a nerve and I begin to tear up. I get and walk away so my back is to them.

"Aren't you happy about that? You're happy about Maddie and CJ and we didn't know they existed!"

"Mommy and Craig are married, so it's different!"

Sadie laughs. "No they're not! Mom is still married to daddy!"

"So she has two husbands?"

"She only has one and it's daddy!"

"But she hates daddy and is married to Craig. I don't understand!"

"Johnny," I step in, "your sister is right. Your mom and I are still legally married."

"Then why are you having a baby with Red? You really hurt mommy!"

"It wasn't planned."

"She lied to you! She lied to all of us! I don't like her anymore!"

I sigh. "Don't say that. She made a mistake."

"I don't hate her," Sadie adds, "but I see her in a completely different light now. That was really mean and selfish of her to keep that a secret. It makes me wonder what else she is hiding from you. Ugh, like we need any more babies in this dysfunctional family!"

This time I let out a huge sigh. "Can you kids can to your room for a bit?" I ask them as I'm trying to hold back the tears.

"Fine..." I hear Johnny hugging and puffing.

"Daddy, what's wrong? You seem upset. Was it something I said?" Sadie asks putting her hand on m shoulder.

I shake my head. "I'm fine, I just want to be alone right now."

Suddenly the doorbell rings. "I'll get it!" She announces and leaves the room.

I look under the sink and after fishing around, I find a bottle of Jack Daniels. It's an unopened bottle that I bought before I quit drinking and I think now is the perfect time to open it. I open it and get ready to take a drink when...

"DUDE! What are you doing?" I turn and see Stan and Kyle. Stan walks closer to me. "Please tell me you're not drinking."

"I'm about to..."

Stan grabs the bottle. "No way! You've been doing so well!"

"Give it back!" I try to grab it, but Stan holds it out of my reach. "Why are you guys here anyway?"

"We just came to check on you." Kyle explains. "My dad told me about Tammy."

"I'm fine." I state annoyed. I swear words gets around fast in this small town.

"You're clearly not fine if you're trying to drink."

"I said I'm fine!" I try to grab the bottle again, but Stan holds it up over my head.

"You should be happy, Tammy is in jail where she belongs!" Stan smiles.

"It doesn't change anything…"

"What do you mean?" Kyle asks.

"My son is still dead…" I begin breaking down. "I was hoping there was a chance my son was alive and well out there somewhere, but he's not!"

"At least now you have some closure." Stan states gently.

"I know, I just didn't want it to be this." I sniffle. "Not to mention, I'm going to be a father again…"

"I thought you were excited?"

"I am, but at the same time I'm not."

"That doesn't make sense…" Kyle frowns. Of course it wouldn't make sense to Kyle, he's never been in this situation.

"It would be different if Red and I were already married like we were supposed to be, but with me still being married to Tammy and her fighting this divorce, a baby is the last thing I need right now! It doesn't help that Red kept this from me for so long! I won't lie, I'm pissed at her for doing that!"

"You told her you weren't mad." Stan reminds me.

"Dude, I've been through three pregnancies with Tammy. I know better than to upset a pregnant woman."

Stan chuckles. "That's true."

"Her pregnancy may have driven a permanent wedge between me and my kids…especially Johnny."

"They'll come around, give them time."

"Yeah dude, they found out the same way you did. That can't be easy for them." Kyle adds. They keep offering advice, but I eventually tune them out. I know they're trying to help, but I don't feel better at all. As soon as they leave, I'm going to drink myself stupid. Maybe it will make everything go away…

Tammy's POV

Clyde and I are holding hands. I'm currently in a jail cell and he's visiting. "Everything's going to be fine baby. I'll post your bail and get you out of here."

I shake my head. "Craig said he would post it." I tell him.

Clyde rolls his eyes. "When are you going to drop that loser?"

I frown. "Why would I do that? Remember, you have a wife and you said you're not leaving her."

"That's true, but you can do so much better. Honestly, even Kenny is a better pick than Craig! At least he's genuinely a nice guy. Craig's a dick!"

"Stop it! That's my husband! Besides, Kenny isn't as nice as you think he is."

"You told me he worshipped the ground you walked on. He did any and everything for you and your kids. You made up that affair with Red bullshit so you had an excuse for cheating with Craig because you were bored with him."

I shrug. "He is boring, but I do love that about him. However I couldn't spend the rest of my life living that boring routine. Not to mention he doesn't even have money, that's another reason he can't divorce me! He can't afford a lawyer!"

"You said you don't love him anymore, why not let him go?"

I shake my head. "I'm not losing him to her. Plus I do love him, I'm just not in love with him."

"You're being really cold hearted."

"I don't care. Red is nice and she's beautiful. I don't want her to have Kenny because I know she wanted him all along. I refuse to let her get what she wants. It's bad enough she's pregnant! I hope her baby dies!"

Clyde looks shocked. "Damn, you're horrible!"

I smile at him. "But you love it…and me!"

Clyde sighs. "So when are you going to tell Craig that I've been helping you financially?"

I'm taken aback by that question. "Umm, how about NEVER!"

"I'm surprised he doesn't question where you get all this money from. He knows damn well he couldn't have paid off hospital staff and police officers to make Kenny look like a liar."

"Shh!"

"Shh? You admitted you lied, there's no need to keep it a secret now!"

"I don't want to get you into trouble. You could be disbarred."

Clyde shrugs. "It's ok, I'm not a real lawyer anyway. I have a doctored law degree." He chuckles.

My jaw drops. "Are you serious?"

"Do you think I would pay for all those years of law school? What can they teach me that I couldn't learn from a book on my own?"

"Wow Clyde, just wow!"

"Yeah, well since you're going to rely on Craig to post your bail, then I might as well go. I don't want Bebe questioning me on my whereabouts."

"Does this mean I have to get a real lawyer when I go to trial?"

I shake my head. "You don't have to, but it's up to you. You can always ask Gerald."

I shake my head. "I doubt he would help me."

"He's a lawyer, he can't let personal feelings get in the way of his job."

"I hope you're right because he's the best out there."

"Next to me." He smiles then kisses my hand. "Let me know when you get out of here, ok?"

I nod. "I will." I watch him leave. Now all I need to do is wait for Craig to post my bail. I need to get out of here as soon as possible. I have one last thing I need to handle in South Park and then I'm going back to France for good this time!
