Phil the Family Man
Ch 9 - This Wedding Is Short One Diffy
Keely's POV:
Today's Tia's wedding I haven't heard anything from Phil.
"Keels, are you ok" Tia asked.
"Yeah," I lied. I don't want to be a wedding crasher, but she knows me too well.
"You're lying, Keels. It's ok to be sad; your marriage is falling apart."
"MY MARRIAGE IS NOT FALLING APART … we just haven't talked in almost a three weeks …. OH, TIA! I AM GOING TO BE A SINGLE MOM AT THE AGE OF 20!" I have been really moody lately and since I have been in Pickford I seem to take it out on Tia. "Tia, I am sorry. I didn't mean too…."
"Keels, I understand. Seth and I just had a talk; we are postponing the wedding."
"NO. IF IT'S CAUSE OF ME I WONT LET YOU!" I demanded.
"Keels, I want 'you' to be at my wedding and you are not 'you,' so in till you can pull yourself together, the wedding is going to be postponed." She left it at that and exited the room.

"Mommy, where Daddy?" AJ asked.
"Is he come home soon? We miss him," DJ said as he came up to give me a hug.
How do I tell them with without lying to them?
"Your daddy loves you guys so much. We are just taking a break."
"Daddy thinks we evil," AJ said crying.
"No. Daddy doesn't think that. It's, it's just that sometimes he can be a real dum-dum," I told them, trying to make a joke of it to cheer them up.
"Mommy said a bad word," they giggled together.
"Well, she better go to time out then," a wry voice declared. "What do you two think?"
I looked behind me and I saw him standing at the door with his smile.
"DADDY!" they shouted running to him.
