CHAPTER TWELVE
“Questions”

Wednesday, December 20th, Night
Dave called in to the office that night and left a message for Susan delegating all of the tasks he had scheduled for the next day and the day after to some of his senior associates giving himself a five day holiday weekend. He then called and talked to Jennifer, his sister.

“Hello.”

It was a female voice but Dave was instantly sure it wasn’t Jennifer.

“Is this Megan or Molly?” Dave asked.

“This is Molly, Uncle Dave. Just a minute, I’ll get Mom.” He heard her set the phone down and yell for her mother. “Mom, telephone. It’s Uncle Dave.”

David could hear Jennifer say something back but it was too soft to make out exactly. A moment later, Jennifer picked up an extension and hollered that she had it. A second after that he heard the click as, presumably, Molly hung up the phone.

“Hey, little brother. Is this the call where you tell me you’re coming to visit?”

“What choice do I have? All the women in my life are conspiring against me to make sure I do.”

“I knew there was a reason I loved those girls of yours. Are they there?”

“Sitting across the table from me.”

“I’m proud of you, Dave. You finally got a backbone again. So, when will you be here?”

“Well, I just got off the phone with my office. I delegated all my work away so I’m yours for the next five days if you want me. We were thinking of coming over early tomorrow afternoon for the twins birthday. Is there going to be a party?”

“Emily reminded you that it was their birthday, didn’t she?”

“No!” Dave said, smiling at the three women sitting around the table.

“Oh, so it was Hayley.”

Dave closed his eyes and shook his head.

“Have you no faith in me? Do you really believe I’d forget my own nieces’ birthdays?”

“David, you forgot my sixteenth birthday party and you were involved in planning it. Hayley reminded you, didn’t she?”

Dave surrendered.

“Yes,” he said rather grumpy.

“So, will you and the girls be staying here through Christmas? Please, David? I really don’t want it to be just me and the girls again.”

“Hold on.” Dave put the phone down and covered the mouthpiece. “She wants us to stay there until Christmas.”

Emily and Hayley looked at each other, smiled and then shouted “Yes!” at the same time.

“Olivia?”

“David, I have never met your sister. I have no way of knowing whether I will enjoy myself there anymore than I know whether I will enjoy my Christmas here. I leave it up to you.”

“Better get used to it, Daddy,” Emily said with a smirk.

Dave stuck his tongue out at Emily and then put the phone back to his ear. “Alright, we’ll stay.”

“Yes!” Jennifer shouted.

“Hey, Jenn, You okay?”

There was a long pause. “Yes, darling brother, just a little down in the dumps right now. Once you all get here, I’ll be just fine.”

“Okay. See you tomorrow then. Oh, and Jen?”

“Yeah?”

“There’ll be four of us.”

“Who’s the fourth?”

“A friend of mine. Her name’s Olivia. She’s staying with me for a while.”

“Where did you meet her, and why haven’t I heard about her before?”

“Because until yesterday, I hadn’t met her. We’ve been talking on-line for the last few months. She left her job up in Boston and came down here looking for a new job. When she mentioned she would be in the area, I asked if she wanted to meet. We hit it off so I asked if she wanted to stay here. Save some money and such.”

“Uh huh.”

“Gimmee a break, Jenn.”

“Of course you can bring her, Dave. I am the last person in the world who would want someone left alone on Christmas.”

“Thank you. See you tomorrow.” They hung up and Dave looked around the room. “Well, that seemed to work.”

“Told you so,” Hayley said as she stood up from the table.

The four settled in for a quiet night at home. When Emily and Hayley were ready for bed, Emily came over and asked where she should sleep.

“In your bed.”

Emily smiled, kissed his cheek, and said “I knew you couldn’t do it. Not with Hayley around.”

She turned and headed for the bedroom.

“Hey, Em,” Dave called out before she disappeared down the hall. He waited for her to turn back before speaking again. “I don’t wanna hear about you trying to convince Hayley to do what you did. If I find out you’re pressuring or trying to convince her, I’ll spank you and send you back to your mother.”

Emily smiled. “I would never do that, Daddy.”

She turned and went down the hall to the bedroom she shared with Hayley leaving Dave and Olivia alone in the living room.

Olivia and Dave slept together that night, and Olivia slept naked.

“It’s how I always sleep,” she told him when he asked about it.
