I really feel for Kat, that's why I never go home. Sure Dad I have never been on the best of terms since Mom died. But he is great with the girls.

No one really understands the situation with Kat. I see the kids whenever I can. Always try to make their sports and they love to go sailing. I take them as often as I can. Generally Kat comes too. Of course, only I am allowed to call her Kat. I have since we were kids.

Kat and I have a fantastic friendship and make a great parenting team. She never dates other men without letting me meet them. (I secretly run a background check on them. Kat would kill me if she knew.) But they never last.

I always introduce her any new partners I have. Out of respect, because we have children together. But prospective partners never stick around long when the mother of your children and yourself have such a great friendship. But I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Looking into the girls bedroom as they sleep, I remind myself that I was going to call Dad.

Jackson Gibbs POV

I've just walked into Michael Fitzgerald's home and sitting in the arm chair by the door is Katherine. The mother of my beautiful granddaughters. Still clueless how that happened.

"Hi Katherine, where's Mick?"

"Outback with the Mötley Crüe. Apparently they weren't aware I was coming and are demanding at this very minute that I leave immediately." She replies rolling her eyes at the situation at hand.

"Need a place to lie low?" I ask raising my keys. She nods vigorously and for the first time I notice all her bags are still packed by the door. " Take Leroy's room. I'm sure you remember where it is"

And with that she's gone.

Always have had a soft spot for that woman. Chickadee and I. Katherine's mother Eve and us, we never saw eye to eye. Eventually, it was the demise of their friendship.

As I head through the house to the my cell phone.

"Hi Leroy," I answer.

"Hi dad, how's it going?"

"Katherine's hiding at my house while the Mötley Crüe decide her fate. She wants to go home."

"I'm not surprised. She's only there to see her dad and Charlie. How was the ceremony?"

"Hasn't started yet."

"Look after her, dad"

"Will do son."

I wonder about my son sometimes. He really should ask that woman out. She's the mother of his kids. And his perfect soulmate.
