1988, chapter 31
The hug between father and daughter was awkward but yet comforting, like a hole in each of them was now full.
At first it was only Billie's arms around her but the little girl eventually attempted to wrap her little arms around him.
The pair separated and looked at each other
"dad... " she whispered quietly
"yeah?"
A toothy grin appeared across her face "I love you"
Billie was taken back, "same to you hunneh"
"would you like something to drink Billie?" Maria smirked "I have a feeling you have a lot of catching up to do with your new little ones"
"yeah cheers Maria"
The time seemed to speed by as the two little green eyed mini Billies stared up at their biological father telling them stories about being in Green Day and about his family - their family past.
"we have how many aunts and uncles?" Jack gushed "how much money would I get for birthdays and Christmas's now?"
"JACK! Don't talk that way"
"Sorry... "
The time finally caught up to the 2 young children as yawns poured out of them. They were fighting their hardest to fight the sandman but eventually both drifted off on the living room floor.
Billie smirked.
"want me to carry them to their rooms?"
"well I guess its better then waking them up... "
"they sleep a lot more quietly then Joey and Jakob do" Billie laughed and picked up Jack and carried him to his room then came back for Mariah. Maria stood watching.
Billie returned afterwards and sank into the single lounge chair
"oh yeah? How is your kids and wife?" Maria bit her lip and asked
"the boys are good, good, good. Adie just wants me home a lot more, its hard We're fighting almost everytime we talk lately."
"I guess that would be with all the touring and all... "
"yeah and Reprise is up our asses to make a new album and all now"
"I really knew one day you'd be a rockstar though"
"im not a rockstar really... ."
"yes you are" she giggled "making millions of bucks a year with a guitar over your shoulder makes you a rockstar"
"Hmm... Im still the same guy really"
"Oh really?"
"oh really yes"
The pair stepped up to eachother noses touching
Billie turned his head to the side and before he knew what he was doing his tongue was jammed in her mouth
Maria pushed him away
"Billie I cant go through that again.. We aren't teenagers anymore. Besides you're happily married and im engaged... "
"your fiancé sounds like ass"
"and how would you know?"
"On I know who he is. He's a executive for fucking MTV of all things"
"his job doesn't reflect who he is"
"no... the way he talked to me does"
"what? You've even met him?"
"yeah, he had a fucking go at me for saying 'fuck' at that function thing for that function thing a few years ago, fucking jerk"
"Well... im sure it was a important 'function'... ."
"Maria... they show half naked chicks in rap videos and yet im not allowed to say fuck in front of some suits?"
"hes only doing his job... ."
"and you seem to be making every excuse in the book for him even"
"you are putting him down"
"he puts himself down"
"Billie... that doesn't make sense... "
"meh, sue me."
For at least 15 minutes the two adults stood silently.
"so what was that about happily married?" Billie broke the silence
"what?"
"you said 'and you're happily married', who says happily? Lately its fucked as fucking hell. Its like Adrienne has her shit every day"
Maria laughed
"her shit? What is Billie too embarrassed to say 'period'"
"no..o... its just you know what I mean"
"haha so okay, maybe you haven't completely changed, but all marriages are shaky in some points"
"yeah but.. she goes off at me for every single fucking thing like last night I didn't ring to say happy new years and today she rings me up and abuses me over the fucking cell... "
"Hmm... want another coffee?"
"sure... "
As Maria gave him another cuppa the tension between the pair built up again, this time Maria kissed him
"fuck. Sorry"
"well well well... what was all that about how current status now?" Billie placed the cup down
"its not my fault. You were asking for it - literally"
"I know I know."
Billie grabbed her hips and they both fell into the sofa...
At first it was only Billie's arms around her but the little girl eventually attempted to wrap her little arms around him.
The pair separated and looked at each other
