“Supervised,” Paula shot out before I could say anything.

Tugging on her hand it brought her blue eyes to settle upon me, “Can we talk about that?”

Her brows furrowed but she nodded not wanting to fight in front of Robert and I had a feeling a fight was coming our way.

“Do you want me to set up a court date; I can get you in about two weeks,”

I shook my head putting my glass down, “Not this month. We’re taking a family vacation, how bout the beginning of next month?”

He nodded flipping through papers littered on his side of the patio table. Our pool glittered behind him in the sun and we just sat outside in the cool air leaning on each other waiting for him to finish what ever he was doing.

“Yes that can be arranged, how about March 10^th?”

“Sounds good to me,” Paula smiled standing up to shake his hand.

That was the fastest meeting I’ve ever been too and I feel slightly bad that he came all the way down here for a thirty minute conversation we could have done a three way phone conversation to deal with.

“Thank you so much Robert and I’m sorry you had to come down here for this,” I smiled giving him a tight hug; he was friend of my families. First my father’s lawyer and now mine.

He squeezed me back, “No problem Christine it is always a pleasure,” he kissed the top of my head than hugged Paula and left.

“SPENDER!”

Paula and I glanced at each other with wide eyes and dashed up the stairs to save the little blonde girl from the wrath of our little devil.

~Arthur’s POV~

I couldn’t wait for work to be over so I could rush home and phone the Davies’. I sent the girls’ their presents two weeks before their birthdays and than Paula called to tell me they were celebrating them on the thirteenth so I had to wait a little longer for Ashley’s reaction while I get to hear about Spencer’s a bit early.

A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts. Standing in the door way was one of my troubled teens Harold Blinsky; he had red ear length hair and always wore girl like jeans and net fish shirts with studded leather wrist cuffs.
