[KneelingAngel and Gilmore ] A Long Road Home

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie looked after him. She sighed and swam for a bit longer. She got out covering her self up with a towel. She walked in and Adelaide squealed and ran for her "mommy I want to go for a ride."She says. Effie picked her up."okay baby doll let's go shower and change you.She walked over and kissed Clay."Love you babe."She says

Clay looked up at his wife as she took Adelaide. "Love you too." He said before changing the channel. The moment the TV flashed to another channel, the Entertainment Channel, the first thing that popped up was the band's name. "After the death of their bassist, Venom Theory has been struggling to get back up, after their drummer got shot it had been nothing but down hill for the band. According to paparazzi, the band has not gathered or even talked to each other since the birth of the guitarist's daughter. Is this the sign of another band break up?" Clay glared at the reporter on the screen. How dare she involve Luke in this?!


Maxi knocked on Justice's office door softly. "Mommy… Will you come play with me?" Justice sighed from the other side of the door, having watched the entertainment news. She opened the door for Maxi and let him in. She smiled and crouched down to his level. "What do you want to play, baby boy?" She asked with a smile. "I want to play what mommy does." Maxi said with his gorgeous smile. Justice knew what he meant and took him on her lap as she started to work. Maxi loved helping her out, but he saw it more as a game then work.

Effie watched. She grabbed the remote and shut off the tv. She walked upstairs and slammed there door shut.She showered with Adelaide and dressed. She put a jacket on her daughter and put her in cowboy boots."let's go." She said and smiled at her daughter.

"Mommy?" Maxi asked as Justice was writing an e-mail to calm the press down. "Are you mad at daddy?" Justice stopped typing and looked at Maxi. "Yes, mommy is. He did something he shouldn't and now mommy is mad at him.. Come on." She said and stood up, carrying her son on her hip, who was starting to get heavy. "Why don't you and Lucy and Bormir and I go out and go to the park, would you like that?" Maxi nodded his head and wiggled out of his mother's arms befoe happily shouting that they were gonna go to the part. Justice sighed and headed up the stairs to let James know. She knocked once on the bedroom door and too a step in. "I'm going to take the kids to the park, incase you think I'm going to fly off to America."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James nods and sits up."Okay have fun."He said with a small sigh. At least she told him.


Effie walked out and put Adelaide in her stroller. "Babe I am gonna take Adelaide out for a walk.you wanna come?"She asks him. She looked over at her husband. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair.

Justice sighed and walked down the stairs, where everybody was waiting for her. "Alright, let's go!" She beamed, causing Maxi to beam and run out of the house. "Max, be careful." Justice told him as she close the front door behind her. "Here, let me take her." She said and grabbed Lucy from Bormir's arms. The kids had come to love him, especially Lucy. She liked Bormir maybe even more then her father, but that was because James had been distant and now she finally knew why!


Clay looked up and shook his head. "No thank you, darling, but I think I need to be alone for an hour or two, just to clear my mind a bit more." He didn't want to go now that he was still pissed at James, he didn't want to take the chance of taking his anger out on Effie or Adelaide.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Bormir nods."I will wait here." Have fun."he said. He sighed and pushed a hand through his hair.


Effie nods and smiles. "Okay love."She said and kissed him. She sighed and went out the door. Adelaide was happy in the stroller. Effie walked to the park and pulled Adelaide out.she sat on the swing and swung with Adelaide. Adelaide squealed and laughed happily.

"Thanks, take care of James for me." Justice said before heading towards the park, Lucy in an arm and holding Maxi's hand. "Mommy look, it's Adelaide." Maxi beamed and ran off before Justice could grab him. Sighing, she walked over to her niece and sister. "Hey." She said as they reached the swings. Justice knew what had happened now, but she still wasn't happy that her sister kept ignoring and pushing her away. If it was up to her, she would put James and Clay in a room and let them fight it out. Throw a couple on punches and done, you're best friends again.

Effie looked up from Adelaide and stopped the swing."oh um hey. "She said.She held Adelaide close,"we really should be going. It's getting past Adelaides nap time."Effie said. She didn't want to ignore her sister, but also didn't want her to find out. She rather save her sister's marriage then her own relationship with her sister. Yes it wasn't fair to her sister, but at least she keep James and the kids.Effie got up slowly from the swing.

"But I want to play with Adelaide." Maxi pouted.


"Adelaide just had her nap, I came for a visit remember?" Justice said to her sister. "If you're trying to hide and ignore me because of what happened at the hospital, then I won't let you. James already told me, so you can stop pushing me away." She said and glared at Effie. Everything was falling apart. Her sister pushed her away. Her husband was hiding things from her. What had she done to ever deserve that?

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie sighed. "He told you? Well the best laid plans.I told him not to I didn't want to screw anything up with you two he wanted to tell you the minute you woke up, but I made him and Bormir swear against it. Look we haven't been coming over because clay might kill James. I forgave him.shit happens.James and I are okay, we just kind hiding talking from my husband right now. It is a sore subject."Effie said.

[KneelingAngel]

"Well he screwed up anyway didn't he?" Justice said. "We'll see what happens between James and I, but what I do know is that we need to solve this thing between Clay and James because the band is going to fall apart." Justice just wanted for the band to be fine, she was still furious at James about what he had done, but it wasn't enough for them to divorce or anything. He reacted like that because of her, so she understood why, it was just how that she didn't like.


Maxi walked up to Effie and tugged the hem of her shirt. "Can I play with Adelaide?" He asked with pleading eyes.

Effie looked at her nephew abd nods. "Yeah go play, but be careful. "She said. She set Adelaide down and sighed. "Yeah, they do need to work it out after you work it out with him."Effie said."I forgave him because I didn't want to be a scared deer."She said"you need to forgive him it's not his fault I knew what I was getting into I am tired of being treated like I didn't know what was going to happen. Jamea is like a brother to me I know him well. I knew he only calm down once he saw what he was doing. I provoked it.so dont be mad at him.I know how to push his buttons."Effie said

[KneelingAngel]

"I will forgive him, once he's proven himself to Clay." Justice said and shifted Lucy in her arms. "James might not have been in his right state of mind, but what if one of the kids had pushed that one button, he would have beaten them. I don't want Lucy or Maxi or Adelaide to go through the same thing we did like we did with dad. He beat us up and regretted it later, and look where that got him and how traumatized we ended up." She sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, trying to keep her eyes from tearing up. "I don't want my children to be scared of their father. I don't want to be scared of my husband. I'll end up like mom." She said and looked at Lucy with tears in her eyes before she looked at Effie again. "I know he loves me, but now I have the feeling that he could hurt me every time something goes wrong. I don't feel safe. I need him to prove himself against Clay so that I know what I'm up against."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie sighed "and I can't let that happen. My husband has a new heart and if you upset my husband in any way then we really will have a problem. James won't hurt you. Trust me in that. He won't hurt the kids either. I know these guys I have lived with them for years. I know how to push James to his breaking point as he does me.Trust me I done way worse to James ask him. He will tell you. He owes me one.now Adelaide lets go."Effie said. She went and picked up her daughter." See you maxi"she says.

[KneelingAngel]

Justice watched her sister leave with Adelaide and she headed home herself. Maxi noticed his mommy's tears, but said nothing of it. He didn't want to upset her more then she already was. When they reached the mansion again, Maxi ran inside to play where ever, probably to tell his daddy that he played with Adelaide, and Justice sat down on the couch with Lucy. Justice just held her daughter close, trying to force the tears away, but she ended up crying into Lucy's jacket. She didn't even really know why, life was just fucked up.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie sighed as she got home. She leaned on the door and sunk to the floor. She tried to breathe and clung to Adelaide as she hugged her mother.


James walked down."so you saw eff then.what she say to you."James asks.He know it couldn't be good if his wife was crying.


Irish Ice Queen

 

[KneelingAngel]

Justice shook her head. What would she say to him? "It's not what she said, it what's in my mind." She said and sat up straight, placing Lucy down on the floor. "What you told me this afternoon, it scared the heck out of me. You hurt my sister. How do I know you won't hurt me or the kids?" She asked, tears still running down her face. "How many times have you hurt her like that? How many times before you learn to see before you act? You seriously could have hurt her! You keep on apologizing to Effie, but you're on Clay's bad side. You two are ruining everything. I'm scared. Scared that the band will fall apart, scared that my sister will leave me, scared that maybe one day you'll hurt me or the kids." There, now her thoughts were out in the open. She didn't want to hide from him, because it would make it impossible to love him, but she did love him and she didn't want to loos him.


Clay heard the front door close, but nothing beyond that. He looked and saw his wife on the floor, hugging Adelaide tightly. "Darlin' what's wrong?" He asked and crouched down in front of her.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James sighed. "Babe I never hurt you like that or the kids. Let see let's talli the scars she has left on me."he counted in his head " 5 and she still has me by one. Trust me your sister has had her fair share of crazy. Your sister won't leave you. Just don't push her on clay or she really will snaps that is one area no one touches with Effie.I promise if I ever hurt you or the kids, get out and leave me. I wouldn't want to be a live if I did hurt you or the kids.I love you too much. Your sister goes to therapy along with me, we box and well since everything lately we haven't and we need to start again.I promise I will keep going if it makes you feel better. "He says. James sighed.


Effie looked up, she was so mad her sister even suggested it.she bit her lip and shook her head."something my sister said I will tell you later. "She says and sighs.She moved over to her husband.

"You'll take double sessions." Justice said with slight a growl, leaving no room for arguments. Why hadn't he ever told her this?! They were married and had two kids! Why did she have to find out everything by herself?! It was always one thing after another! "Anymore important things you forgot to mention to me after being together for five years?" She asked and stood up from the couch. Justice stomped past him and headed up the stairs to put Lucy to bed.


Clay sat down on the ground and pulled Effie and Adelaide closer, hugging them tightly. He kissed Adelaide on the head and buried his face in Effie's neck, kissing the skin. He had an idea in mind of what Justice had said. "I love you, my queen." He mumbled into Effie's neck. He just wanted to hold her for a moment, nothing else.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

James sighed he agreed and let his wife go. Anything to make her happy. He didn't have more to tell her he sighed and sat back.at least they be okay. He sighed and texted Effie. To see if she would answer.


Effie smiles. "And I love you my king and knight in shining armour."Effie just stayed in his l.Effie sighed. "Babe I want to go away vacation Australia just us 3 tonight, lets go. I need a Holiday and this is what I want please baby please. "She said and looked at him.She begged him with her eye's.

[KneelingAngel]

Clay looked back at Effie. "I don't know, darling, we should go ask Mac first. The band's in the spotlight right now with everything that's been going on over the last year. If he's okay with it than we can go... Give me, Adeliade, I'll give her something to eat." He said and picked Adelaide up before walking to the kitchen as he listened to Adelaide talk about playing with Maxi and playing on the swing.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Effie watched him stunned. She need to get out and he said ask mac.She sighed and grabbed her phone she called Mac"hey yeah I was wondering if clay and I could take a Holiday? Okay yeah thanks."She said she sighed. Mac had told her yes but to be back in a week.

[KneelingAngel]

Clay smiled and placed Adelaide fruit bowl in front of her before heading back to his wife and helping her stand. "Let's go pack our stuff then." He smiled and kissed her. "We could use a holiday, clear our heads, you know." He kissed his wife again. He loved her and lucky to have her. He was so happy that Effie supported him through this... Feeling. He had really tried to forgive James, but the picture wouldn't leave his mind. They needed this holiday, just the three of them.

She nods and kissed him. She wrapped around her husband. "Okay babe, let's pack."She said kissing him again. She pulled away and went up the steps. She grabbed there luggage and opened them. She sighed and closed her eye's before she started packing. She was happy that they were going to be gone for a week.
