    [/size][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width:450px; background-color: #98C0E6][justify][sub][color=#204364]Knowing something was wrong by the tone in her voice I stopped and walked over to her. Once she hung up and the tears fell from her eyes I whipped them away. Once she explained what was going on I nodded and said, "I'll call my mom to come watch the boys..." Grabbing my phone I dialed her number and hugged Tess. "Every things going to be fine, you guys are going to stay here and not worry about anything." We had plenty of room in the house! We had two guest rooms in the house and 2 guest bathrooms. The house itself was not close to being full with the three of us here. And it would be nice for the boys to get to be around Eric for a while.
    Knowing my mom was on the way I jogged up the stairs and changed into a pair of shorts and a tank-top and slipped on my tennis shoes. Running back down the stairs my mom was here so it was OK to leave. "Boys, your nana's going to watch you for a while. Be good and we'll be right back." I said kissing them on the forehead before I lead Tess out to the car. Planning on telling my mom what she had missed over the last few days. Driving out to the house I pulled up quickly and said, "Go check on your mom." Getting out of the car I called 911.

    Tess sniffled but nodded, She was glad he was handling the situation so well. Because Tess didn't know if she could do this on her own. Hurrying to the car and getting into the passenger seat. Worry for her mother showed on her face, Luckily. Soon Ben was in the car with her and they were driving to her home. Which was of course in flames. Her mother was sitting on a bench outside the house. The older women held a photo album in her hands which she clung too. The families pet parrot seated on her shoulder. The birds wings were normally kept clipped so it wasn't to much to worry about him running off. Getting out the car Tess hurried to her mother.


    Wrapping her arms around the older women in a hug. And holding her close, The women was sobbing. Clearly upset and buried her face against Tess's shoulder. Crying lightly, Clearly this had hit the women hard. Tess gently rubbing her back as she murmured softly. "Shh.. It will be okay. I promise, Come on.. " She didn't want her mother to see the flames for any longer then she had too. She didn't want to see the flames ether. To see all those memories just burn into a pile of ash. Gently leading her mother towards the car and helping her in the front seat. Tess didn't dare remove Mr. Feathers from her mother. Right now, That bird and those photos were probable all they had left of her father.
    Tess then headed over to Ben and wrapped her arms around him. Needing some one herself to hug her.


    Tess's gaze flickered to her mother who seemed dazed before her gaze went to Ben before she said. "C-Can we please go. I don't want to see this happening.. " She told him, THe police and fire trucks would be here soon enough to put out the fire. Tess didn't want to be here. To see the ruined building any longer. Even Mr. Feathers seemed ruffled. The birds pupils were small and it had a panicked look. Occasionally screeching as birds did. Though her mother was calming the animal down. Every one was scared it seemed. Tess then buried her head in the chest of Ben. Trying to keep from crying once again.

    [/size][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width:450px; background-color: #98C0E6][justify][sub][color=#204364]Watching her mom go into the car I heard the sirens and turned to the driveway where the trucks came down the dirt road. Pulling in closer the sirens seized and the lights stopped. A group of firefighters hoped out of the truck and began to hose down the house and the flames began to hiss and die away.
    Hearing Tess walk over I hugged her tightly and kissed the top of her head. Knowing that she just needed someone to talk to and to cry. "Lets go." I said softly as we started over to the car. Knowing they had it from this point. Driving back to the house I pulled into the gated community and to the house. Pulling into the garage next to my mothers car. "If I can get you guys anything let me know." I offered to Tess. Figuring she wanted to just talk and be with her mom at this point.
    Walking into the house I was greeted by my mom with a hug. "I've got something I need to tell you." I said taking her into the music room and shutting the door behind her. Sitting down at the piano as my mom pulled a chair in front of me. "She was cheating on, shes been cheating on me. With a doctor from over there." My mom didn't talk but took my hand. "I felt guilty these last few days because I had kissed Tess. But now I don't feel so bad." Tears in my eyes. "I'm just so scared...I don't want to go into a custody battle. I don't want the tabloids to follow me around." I said as I started to cry. My mom sitting next to me and hugging me.
    "Ben...Stop...OK? Every things going to be I promise." She told me as she wiped away the tears from my checks. "How about I move in with you guys for a while?" She offered.
    "Ya, that would be great." I said with a small smile. Feeling her lips against my cheek. We would have a full house. But we could make it work, everyone could still have there own room and we would be kind of one big, dysfunctional, family.

    Tess smiled and nodded to Ben before her focus went to her mother. Who still seemed a tad dazed, The poor women was probable still in shock. And so Tess soon was helping her inside. Quietly taking her to the kitchen table too sit down. Sitting down beside her, Tess kept her arm around her mother who quietly hugged her daughter back. The two comforting each other. As well as the parrot who had calmed down a bit, But still seemed alert after everything. Eric was soon hurrying into the room. Frowning at the sight as he headed over. "Mommy! Is every thing alright? " He asked, Noticing his grandmother was sad so he headed over to hug her.


    Tess smiled at her son and told him gently. "Every ones alright, Just were going to need to stay here for a while. " She told the boy, Who seemed to perk up at that. Mr Feathers climbing onto the boys head and flapping its flightless wings before relaxing. Tess then said. "Now, Why don't you go play with the other boys! I need to talk about some adult things! " She told him perkily. Gently taking the parrot and putting it on her own shoulder, She didn't trust the bird not to try and nip at the kids. Eric soon nodded and was hurrying off. Tess Smiling as she watched him go off, Her gaze then flickered to her mother who was still shaking. Saying softly. "Mom, If you want to be alone for a minute the guest rooms over there. I need to speak with Ben. But I promise I'll be back soon. " The women nodded before saying. "I need to call a few people anyway.. " She told him, She had a few people she knew and some family that it would be best to inform of what happened.


    Tess soon was on her feet, Heading towards the music room quietly. She believed that was where they had went, Knocking lightly on the door before she peeked in. She though noticed he was speaking to his mother. So soon began. "Excuse me for interrupting. I just wanted to talk to y- " And then the Parrot on her shoulder just had to talk. "Hello! Who's a Pwetty bird? " It said, Flapping its wings. Before the bird proceeded to glide over and landing on Ben's shoulder. He was still flightless, But he could glide a short distance away. Tess watched the animal before saying. "Sorry, Mr. Feathers likes sitting on men's shoulders. " He used to sit on her fathers often when he was playing music and such she remembered. Mr. Feathers did occasionally even repeat songs he heard, But of course they were just short versus. The bird seemed to have already taken a liking to Ben for it was trying to preen his hair.

    [/size][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width:450px; background-color: #98C0E6][justify][sub][color=#204364]My mother had come over to the seat next to me and hugged me as I felt my body shaking a little. Letting myself cry softly, I was scared that if I said anything to Tess or the boys about how confused and mixed up I was. My mother just was there and open. After a few moments I stopped and she whipped my eyes. "I love you Ben. And I will always love you." She added softly as she kissed my forehead.
    Hearing Tess open the door I whipped my eyes and took a few deep breaths. My mother smiled as she pulled back a little and looked at the door as she rubbed my back. Seeing it was Tess she smiled and stood up. "I'll leave you two to talk." She smiled as she walked out. Feeling the parrot sit next to me I smiled a little bit.
    Hearing my mom close the door behind us I looked at Tess. "How's your mom?" I asked as I patted the parrot on the top of his head. Feeling his feathers against my fingers.

    Tess smiled at the sight of him and his mother, Soon slipping into the room when his mom. Watching as he pet her bird, Who leaned his head in for a better head rub. Tess then told him softly. "Be careful, He throws tantrums a lot and you don't want him to decide he's mad and bite you! " She said. The bird often would show it if he was mad, Giving the family the silent treatment. Or worse, Simply throwing a fit and screaming and such. He had a little attitude at times! Ben was lucky the bird seemed to like him, For it could be difficult some times to gain Mr Feathers trust. Tess then sighed at his question and said. " She's alright for now I think.. She's calling some of her old friends to talk to.. But I'm worried about her. Lose that house... It was a big loss for both of us.. " She told him gently, Her gaze drifting down.


    Tess then moved forward and wrapped her arms around him. Telling him softly. "I can't believe its gone... I don't know the first thing to do now! I can't afford to buy another place.. And It will never replace the one we lost. " She still had the property though, Even if the house was ruined. Maybe one day.. They could have the house rebuilt? She wasn't sure how she would afford that though. Hugging Ben lightly before she reached up, Having the parrot step up onto her hand gently. She then said. "I'm glad we didn't lose every thing though. I don't know what I'd do with out this little Jerk. " Almost as soon as she finished saying that the bird let out a scream. Luckily it hadn't been right in some ones ear! Tess winced at the noise before saying. "Yeah boy, I love you too. " She then looked at Ben and told him. "He does that a lot.. " He was a parrot after all. And parrots screamed, None were silent and so it was to be expected. Still, It didn't make the noise less loud or annoying. Tess then swallowed and said. "Mom also got a photo album.. And.. Thats it, We don't have any thing left.. " She said tearfully. Every thing of her fathers.. Was just gone. All but a few pictures and his bird.

    [/size][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width:450px; background-color: #98C0E6][justify][sub][color=#204364]Hearing her talking I felt myself getting lost and not really paying attention. "Ya...My mom went into a little shock when my dad died." Was all I basically said during this period of time. That was all I really caught too. Standing up I took a deep breath and locked at the clock and then at the calendar that hung under it.
    Seeing that I had a dinner meeting, or really just going to the bar with the boys, in about 15 minutes I cleared my throat. "I've got a meeting I need to get to. Call me if you need anything." I simply stated as I walked out of the door. Running up to my room and changing into a nicer outfit before I jogged out the door before anyone could really catch me.
    Getting into the car that wasn't the van I drove to the other side of the town and pulled up in-front of the bar and got out and walked inside. It was a nicer bar, most guys were wearing toned down suits. Seeing the band at the bar talking with our manager I walked over at sat down in the both. Ordering a beer and a shot and throwing the shot back and starting to drink.
    "Rough day?" The bass player Knox smirked as he paid for my first drinks.
    "You could say that." I said as I nodded my head and began to explain.

    Tess watched him as he was suddenly on his feet, Opening her mouth to say some thing. But no words came out and before she could process what to say he was out the door. Leaving her alone in the room with her bird, Who let out another scream. Letting out a sigh, Tess headed out the room. Head dipping down, Her mother was in the guest room. Tess wasn't completely sure where Ben's mother was.. And she felt it might be a tad awkward to talk with her any way. And so she did the only other thing then going to her room to pout, She went to play with the boys.


    Quietly heading towards there room, Slipping in and forcing a smile. She then settled down on the floor. Parrot climbing to her head as she talked with the boys, Showing them tricks of her bird, Who luckily rarely slept with his cage door closed, So he wasn't unused to this. Tess was sure he'd be fine with out his cage for a while. As long as he had a place to perch, And the top of the families dresser would be fine. Ether way, She spent some time playing with the boys for a few hours. Until Eric kicked her out of the room so the boys could build forts again, And once again. Girls weren't allowed. Eric loved building forts with pillows or playing as a knight! It was one of his favorite games after all.

    [/size][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width:450px; background-color: #98C0E6][justify][sub][color=#204364]Finishing off the beer I ordered the next round. "On me guys." I said as I paid for it.
    "You planning on getting drunk? Well, I think you will one way or another!" Beckett smiled as he clinked the glasses together with the rest of the band. Hearing the glass clink I took a long drink and that's when the fun started. After a few drinks we started to get a little rowdy and we left the bar and headed to the studio. We did this a lot, got smashed and then played.
    Grabbing the microphone as everyone grabbed there instruments and we started to play. I sang along as I clung to the microphone and the words were some what slurred.
    A few hour later and about 2 beers later our manager drove us home because he was the only sober one. I was dropped off last and thanked our manager as I got out and walked up to the house and unlocked the door. I was drunk, but not enough to the point where I was stumbling around and making a lot of noise. I could hold it back pretty well. Locking up the house I checked on the boys and made sure they were OK before going into my room and sitting down on the bed. Undoing my shirt I placed it on the dresser and slipped off my pants. Crawling into the bed and passing out.

    It didn't take long before Tess noticed his return. Putting her bird in her mothers room before following him. It did not take long at all before she smelt he was drunk, Wrinkling her nose a tad bit before heading over. Looking at the passed out man and tsking. Murmuring softly not loudly enough to awake him. "You got drunk with out me? aww... " She said, She personally very much liked getting drunk! It was always a blast, Ether way though she let out a sign Before heading to the kitchen. He'd want water when he awoke. So she got a glass and some pain medicine for when he woke up, No one liked the dreaded hangover after all. Placing them beside his bed side she then smiled.


    Climbing into the bed next to him she cuddled up against the man. Closing her eyes as she pulled the blanket over her and him. She liked cuddling, Though the smell of alcohol put her off a bit. She got over it quickly. Closing her brown eyes and relaxing before she fell asleep next to him. Arms around him and hugging him close, The boys should be asleep, Eric wouldn't stay up late any way. The little boy tended to have a lot of trouble keeping awake at night!

    Feeling the sun come streaking into the room I felt the warmth fill my body, and then pierce my eyes as a searing pain filled my heat and felt like someone had ignited my eyes on fire.
    "Oh f*ck..." I grumbled as I covered my eyes and turned away from the window and pulled the blanket over my head. "Why do I always drink to much..." I questioned aloud. I always regretted drinking the morning after when I had a hang over the size of an elephant.

    Tess found her eyes flickering open as she felt him move. Opening one eye sleepily and a yawn came from her, She then noticed his face and words. Laughing softly at the sight of him and saying. "Bless your heart. Theres some water and some thing for your head on the end table. Just drink a lot of water and you'll be fine. " She told him gently, Sitting up and giving him a kiss on the head. Seeming rather perky and amused at the sight of him. Keeping the smile on her face as she stood up. Stretching out and continuing. "Thats what you get for not even bringing me a beer home. Though I am a more wine person truthfully. " She informed him. Beginning to walk away from the bed to the restroom.


    Soon beginning to run a bath before returning to him. She had a pretty bad case of the bed head today, But didn't bother to care too much. Telling him. "You've a bath running now. Go soak for a bit, You really do need to take a bath or shower now... You smell. " She teased before flopping down on the bed. Her arms going around a pillow and she hugged it gently. Resting her head on it and yawning, She might sleep for a few more minutes. Honestly that had been the longest she had slept in a very long time! And she really enjoyed it! It was nice to just well... Sleep.. Though she did tend to like being up and working most days rather then sitting around.

"No, how about you and I go outside to the hot tub and sit for a little while?" I smiled softly as I sat up. Rubbing my temple as my eyes got out of the sun and the headache already started to subside.
    Checking my phone I saw a message from all of the guys just saying how much they hurt or crap like that. Shaking my head with a smile I just chuckled and turned my phone off and stood up. "Sorry I left last night. I just needed to clear my head I guess." The meeting wasn't a lie but it really wasn't a meeting more or less. "How were the boys last night?" I asked as I stepped into the bathroom and pulled on my swim trunks. Going in with or without her.

    Tess's gaze flickered open as he suggested the hot tub. And well, Ain't no way was she going to pass that up! A smile showed on her face as she sat up. Nodding quickly, He had mentioned the hot tub before so she had packed a bathing suit. Standing up and heading over to her pack. She watched him head towards the bathroom so decided to change in here while he was in there. Swiftly striping down before pulling on her bathing suit, Though she put on a shirt that was a tad to long for her over it. She had never been the most comfortable with wearing one with out a shirt.


    Tess smiled at his apology, Telling him gently. "You don't need to apologize to me, I understand, Some days you just got to get away. " She said gently, Though a little more warning would have been nice she would admit. At his question. She then told him softly. "They were great, You really have some good boys! " She told him, She was glad them and Eric had gotten along, She faintly had expected a fight to break out by now! Eric wasn't the best at making and keeping friends after all. But perhaps the other boys were just sweet enough they could get along with the bossy boy easily. Tess hoped he wasn't bullying them when she wasn't looking! She would need to keep a close eye on them.. Just in case.


    Tess's thoughts then moved to the hot tub. Walking to the bathroom door and knocking on it, Telling him softly. "I'll see you at the hot tub then.. " She said softly. Beginning to make her way towards it, She thought she had seen it during there whole fire pit stuff. It had been a long time since she had just relaxed. And when she reached the tub she grinned at the sight of it. Sitting down on the edge and dipping her feet in lightly. Staring into the water quietly before she moved the rest of her body into the water. Her face going a little red for a moment as she thought about being alone here with him, But she sort of just brushed it off. It was too nice here to not enjoy it.

    [/size][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width:450px; background-color: #98C0E6][justify][sub][color=#204364]Coming out of the bathroom I walked down the hallway and looked into the rooms of my boys and my mom. The boys sound asleep in there beds, probably tired from there busy weekend, my mom sleeping in the guest bedroom on the other side of the mast bedroom. My mother was sitting on her bed working on some knitting. Knowing she only did that when she was here I figured she was working on something for Tess. Mom always made hats for everyone for Christmas and now that Tess and her mom would probably be here for then she had started on theirs.
    "Morning Mom." I said softly as she looked up. The usual smile on her face.
    "Morning Ben! Did you have a good night last night?" She said with a smirk. Almost like she knew exactly what happened.
    I chuckled as little and nodded. "Ya, I just needed to step out and go fro drinks with the guys." She nodded and went back to her knitting.
    Walking past the other two guest rooms I figured that Eric had settled in one and Tess's mom in another. Jogging a little down the stair case I figured we would make a big lunch later instead of cooking breakfast now. Sliding the glass door open I felt my phone buzz in my pocket as I pulled it out to see a message from her.
    It read 'Ben, we need to talk right now. Call me.' Just shaking my head I replied with.
    'There's nothing to talk about, you cheated on me and I won't stand for that. I'm changing the locks on the house today so don't even bother coming by. I'll have the last of you stuff packed up and sent out to you by the end of the night.' Sighing I ran a hand threw my hair and set my phone on the table.
    Sliding into the hot tub I dunked my head under the water and came back up as the wet hair dangled in my eyes. "God that felt good." I muttered as I sat on the bench in the water next to her. Laying my head back as I rolled my neck and heard it pop a few times.

    Tess found herself glancing backwards to see Ben coming to join her. A smile grew on her face as she watched him, Gently resting her head on his shoulder for a moment as she kissed his cheek. Slowly closing her eyes and enjoying the hot tub for a moment, She liked this Just hanging out with him. Though she found herself tempted to jokingly ask him about his day drinking, And when she was going to meet his friends. But she chose not to.. Instead keeping the nice silent. It was nice at this time.. The sun rising higher in the sky and the birds tweeting. The kids were still asleep and probable would stay that way for a while longer, Which gave both her and Ben plenty of time to be together.


    Tess then found herself biting her lip and rather surprisingly moved herself so she was on his lap. Kissing him on the lips and holding it for a moment before she pulled away. Her nose wrinkled though a smile was on her face as she said. "Your breath still smells like beer. " She told him teasingly, Remaining seated where she was on his lap. She didn't plan on doing any thing though more then make out with him.. She sort of wanted to take there relationship slow.. Not rush into things, That seemed like a bad idea to her and she wasn't completely sure this wasn't just butterflies.


    The thought made a feeling of dread drop in her stomach. You see, Tess always liked to have some where to go. She had been with enough bad men that she knew she shouldn't completely rely on some one. But with the house gone.. And so little money coming in, Well it put Tess into a bad position. Should she change her mind and want to break up with Ben... She wouldn't have any where to go, And Tess really didn't want that. But she pushed those thoughts away and chose to focus on the here and now. Soon saying softly as she kissed Ben again. "So? Whats the plan for today? Got any thing in mind? " She asked gently.

Feeling the passion behind it I chuckled a little bit when she pulled back and said my breath still tasted like beer. "I'm not surprised as much as I drank last night!" I smirked as she kissed me again. Placing my hands under her shirt and feeling her bare back.
    Pulling back as she asked a question. "I don't know...Maybe go to the park? Make lunch and all eat together?" I suggested as I kissed her back and leaned back as I felt her still sitting on my lap. Reaching behind me and grabbing my sunglasses that I brought down.
    Placing them over my eyes as I felt the sun shrink back and stop invading my eyes. Running a hand threw my wet hair and getting it out of my eyes.

    (Hey, What if his wife comes home early? Planning to see Ben as soon as possible and then catches him kissing Tess so freaks out? )

    A small blush soon formed on Tess's face as she felt Ben's hand move to her back. Smiling at him as he spoke and suggested the park, It seemed like as good an Idea as any other. And so she nodded in agreement. One of her hands resting on his shoulder while the other on his chest. She couldn't help but find some of his habits amusing. His wearing sun glasses so much for example, It just added to his rockstar look. But she didn't comment on it. Just kept the smile on her face.


    Tess then told him softly. " That sounds lovely... Of course You'll be doing the cooking though. " She teased, Unless they wanted there food burned of course. Tess then began thinking before saying. "We can go to the park a few blocks from here. Its right next to a awesome comic shop a- " Fading out as she mentioned the comic shop. A awkward smile showing on her face. She just wanted to browse... She loved comics. What more could she say! She had since she was a little girl and wasn't giving up the obsession any time soon. Who knows, Maybe she could get one of the boys into it with her. Still, It was a tad embarrassing mention her love of it in front of another adult.

    Yes! I'm just going to delve into it since I have to get off soon!))
    "My mom makes this amazing potato salad!" I chuckled as she agreed to lunch. Figuring that my mom would be more than excited to make lunch and have everyone go to the park. "Hey! I've actually been wanting to check out that comic store so its a deal." I smirked as I kissed her again. Feeling my lips press against hers as I heard my mom yell something and the sliding glass door flung open. Pulling back I saw her standing there in a black dress with red heels. My wife, or soon to be ex-wife. Seeing her I scrambled out of the pool ready to yell.
    "Who the h*l is that Ben!" She snapped pointing to Tess.
    "First you don't live here anymore! So get the f*ck off of my property!" I snapped getting in her face. Shutting the glass door so the boys couldn't hear us inside. "You cheated on me! You had s*x with another man while we were married! Maybe more than once!" I hissed as I looked into her eyes.
    "Well your cheating on me if your kissing her!" She retorted back crossing her arms over her chest.
    "I kissed Tess and instantly felt guilty the first time because I didn't want to cheat on you! But when you called and I found out you had cheated she was there to comfort me and it just happens that I actually like her unlike you! What did I see in you!" I shouted as I got into her face and she stood her ground. "I married you because of the boys and that was the biggest mistake ever!" I was mad, h*ll I was pissed. Even madder than I was at the hospital. "You get out of her now before I call the cops!"
    She started at me and pursed her bright red lips. "I came here to see my boys." Was all she could say.
    "Well you wont see them ever again because I'm not sharing custody with you!" That's when she brought her large purse up and swung it at my face.
    Stumbling back to my knees I looked down at the ground and saw my sunglasses, shattered into a million pieces, laying on the ground next to me. Blood dripping from a large rip in my lip and a cut under my eye where her nails had caught me. "You b*tch!" I hissed as I looked up, blood covering my face. "This isn't the last of me. You can go burn in h*ll before I share custody with you." She looked at me and then turned around and marched out of the yard to her car and drove away.
    I coughed as I felt the blood dripping from my mouth. Shaking my head as I felt the hot tears sting the cut under my eye and mix with the blood and diluting it. I wasn't sad, no.These were tears of pure rage and anger.

    Tess's eyes went alight as he agreed to it. Even saying he wanted to go too! And well, That just made her rather happy. She loved the idea of having some one to blabber to about comics and junk, Kissing him back deeply as his lips touched hers, But sadly the moment was ruined as his wife just had to arrive. Tess was nearly knocked off Ben in his haste to get up and yell at his wife, Luckily she moved off his lap quickly enough. Her mouth clamping shut as she looked between the two, This wasn't her argument for now. And she felt if she spoke it would simply cause more trouble.. Which frankly Tess didn't want more of that. She liked things being peaceful and calm... Not when people were shouting venom at each other.


    As the two started yelling at each other.. Well Tess was taken a back and could feel herself visibly shaking as she sort of shrunk down, Keeping quiet as she sat in the tub. She didn't do well hearing Yelling. It made her remember her Ex's and so caused herself to brace herself. She knew some one was going to be hit at the end of it.. It always seemed to happen around Tess. When ever people were arguing some one had to hit the other. That was some thing Tess had never understood, Though yeah, She completely understood the use of fighting words. Some words... Well they deserved to be punched for being said, But still. Arguments she felt could be settled in better ways.
    And then Ben was threatening to take away the children, Which surprised her. And Tess found a sort of f***ed up move. But it wasn't her place to say any thing once again. Swallowing hard, And then Tess's guess was right. Though it turned out to be the wife who hit Ben. Causing Tess to gasp and duck her head a little lower, She was trembling like a leaf. And had only just noticed the tears beginning to roll down her cheek, Once again, Arguing and her... Well it didn't go together too well.


    And then his soon to be Ex was leaving, And Tess just sort of sat there shaking for a few moments. Taking deep breaths to fight off the panic that showed on her face, Carefully though when she was gone Tess was moving to her feet. Heading over towards Ben carefully and kneeling down to hug him gently. Murmuring softly, "I-I'm sorry... It'll be okay.. " She began. Pulling away to look at Ben's face and the blood. Swallowing hard. Eric must have heard the shouting for he was rubbing his eyes and stopped at the door. Noticing the scene as he opened the sliding glass door and asked. "Mommy.. What happened? " He asked curiously, Tess though simply looked over at him. She was still shaking and no doubt the boy had noticed the tears in both there eyes. One from Anger, The other from simply fear. Soon she said. "Oh nothing sweet heart.. Go back to bed, Ben just tripped.. " She lied. She figured Ben could tell them later if he wanted to. The boy then opened his mouth to question that explanation, But seemed to think better of it and decided he was still sleepy. So nodding he then went off back to bed.


    Tess's gaze then flickered back to Ben and she murmured softly. " Come on.. Lets go inside and I'll help with those cuts. There not too bad... So I can easily cover them up with make up for you once there clean. " Smiling weakly she then told him. "I know a good few tricks for covering scars and bruises. " She said gently before hugging him again and standing onto her feet, Holding a hand out for him to help him up. She was still panicked but was beginning to calm down. Choosing to focus on his wounds rather then the arguing. She had some makeup in her bag so hopefully it wouldn't be too difficult to keep it hidden.
