"Howie, hun you have to tell me what's wrong." Jessi was holding Howie, who had walked into the house and collapsed wailing. "Honey you have to tell me"
"Nicky" Howie mumbled.
"Oh my god is he hurt? Howie what about Nick?"
"He is not the man I thought he was." Howie sat up and looked at his wife. "Baby you might want to get settled because you are in for some explanation."
~~**~~
"He said what? Where is that son of a bitch...how could he say that about her. That little prick" Jessi screamed as Howie told her about the episode in Nick's house.
"He is so filled with hatred, he knows that Kim Ann and Kevin are in love and he is going to do whatever it takes to keep them miserable and apart. Jess, what has happened to him? He used to be so kind, he was a great father and he and Kim Ann were the closest thing to perfection since" Howie lowered his head as he thought about his best friend "They were as close to living AJ and Molly's love as possible."
"He is a little boy playing little playground games.He knows that he has been an insenstive prick who is about to lose the one person who put up with his shit and who stuck up for him when all of us wanted to kick his ass. He is so scared and he is doing the only thing he knows what to do, play dirty." Jessi rested her hand on her husband's thigh. "Are you going to tell Kim Ann and Kevin, I mean they should know"
"I want to talk to them first, you know tell them that I saw them and offer my support to them. Baby pray that this all ends happily and that it doesn't harm Kim Ann or the baby" Howie kissed his wife and called ahead to the hospital.

Kevin and Kim Ann were eating their Chicken Soi Ding when the phone rang and Howie's hurried voice filled the phone. "I will see you in a bit Howie" Kim Ann turned to Kevin "Howie sounds worried about something."
"You have enough to worry about, we can't be worried about Howie" Kevin leaned in to kiss Kim Ann and made a face "Those noodles taste so good going down but they leave a bad after taste" he grinned and rested his head on hers.
~~**~~
"That fucker...FUCK" Nick threw the bloodied towel on the floor and called his mother and asked her to watch Molly and Alex. He needed to pay a visit to his girlfriend, so she could see what Howie had done to her.
~~**~~
Kim Ann nudged Kevin when Howie walked into the room. Kevin sat up and starightned his shirt. "HI D, Red and I were talking and I guess I fell asleep" Kevin started to stand up but stopped when Howie raised his hand.
"Kev, stay there. You don't have to hide it any longer, I know, I saw the two of you kissing earlier."
Kevin glanced at Kim Ann who looked upset. "D it's not what it looks like" Kevin tried to think of a reasonable and believable explantion.
"It's not what it looks like? That's a shame becasue from here it looks like my two best friends who I love with all my heart are finally happy, it looks like they have finally found the love they have searched so long for and it looks like a beautiful friendship is well on it's way to becoming one of this centuries greatest love affairs. It's a shame really because I was honestly praying that you would admit to me that you two had finally realised what the rest of us have seen from the first time Kim Ann met us at charity fundraiser for Skylar's shelter. You are meant to be together. Whenever you talked you were in your own world, whenever you looked at one another a connection seemed to grow brighter and whenever you leant each other a shoulder to cry we could see how you longed to kiss each other's sweet tears. It's such a shame that you would give up on the love that has taken you both so long to discover." Kim Ann and Kevin were both crying when Howie finished his speech. They kissed each other softly and then hugged Howie tight. "Thanks Howie, this means alot to us" Kim Ann whispered. They all froze when they heard clapping and grimaced when they saw an infuriated Nick standing in the doorway.
"It's a shame that you used that little speech now, it would have been perfect for their wedding day." Nick said hautily. "It's a shame that Kevin is married and no divorce is in sight. I wonder why if Kevin loves you so much, why is it that no divorce proceedings has been started. Maybe he is just keeping his dick warm, active and fresh with you until Skylar gets tired of running around with a married man."
Kevin walked towards Nick and stood nose to nose with him. "Nick I love you like a brother, I love you and I don't want to hurt you but if you ever talk to me like that again I will kill you"
Nick laughed and looked at Kim Ann "I know what you are thinking, come on Nick say something bad, send Kevin over the edge, throw a punch so your lover can kick the shit out of me in self defence. It ain't going to happen. I love you and I will never let you go, NEVER. We are bonded. The twins have both of us in them and we are all going to be a family. Have your little fuck fling now because when this baby is born you and I are going to make another child and we are taking our children and moving far away from all of these people who are jealous of what we have." Nick glared at Kim Ann "I am telling you Kim Ann if you even think of leaving me I will haul your ass into court and I wil make sure that you never see the twins again. The media will have a field day, one bandmate cheating with the other's girlfriend. I am the media darling and they will believe me. I know you want to kill me, I know you are asking yourself how you ever fell in love with an evil spawn like me, you want to leave me, take the twins and marry Kevin so bad you can taste it but Kim Ann the only thing you are going to taste is my bitter kisses for the rest of your life." Nick blew her a kiss "Sleep well sweet pea, the twins will be in tomorrow to see you and I expect you to put on quite the show for them." Nick turned to walk away and then turned back and patted his groin "Hurry up and pop that little fucker out will you, my dick is aching to feel your sweet mouth around it..Has she given you head yet Kevin, cuz let me tell you if she had you would fight to the death to keep her, her mouth is incredible and he walked out.
Kevin ran to grab Nick but Kim Ann held onto him and pleaded with him "Kev...listen to me my love...please baby. Howie please help me"
Howie grabbed onto Kevin "Kev, he isn't worth it, he will get what he has coming to him." Howie looked into his friend's angry face "The woman you love needs you right now, go to her, love her." Howie hugged Kevin and walked over and kissed Kim Ann "Spend as much time with him as you can, you two have waited your whole lives for this, enjoy it."
"Howie I am so scared"
"Don't be, he can't force you to stay with him, we will fight this Kymmi"
~~**~~
"God Kim Ann you are still shaking, you have to calm down sweetheart" Kevin kissed her and held her tight. The doctor had just left after checking her out and although her blood pressure was high he had assured them that everything was fine but would check in on her before he finished his rounds.
"Kevin what if he wins, what if he takes my babies away from me..I would die, I would wilt without them"
"He won't win. My love all we have to do is follow our hearts and show the judge the love we have for each other and he will see right through Nick."
"What about Skylar, what if he contacts her, you are still married, we are cheating"
"What would you classify her as doing, she left our six children and me. She is off seeing the world with her lover. Skylar loves me, she only wants me to be happy and I think she would be happy that the person who I fell in love with is the one person she loves almost as much as she loves me and the kids."
"Kevin who would have ever thought that you and I would be fighting Nick to fall in love? I always thought everything was perfect. Nick and I, Howie and Jessi, you and Sky and Brian and Leighanne. Why has god chosen to throw us all into this huge turmoil?"
Kevin kissed her tears and caressed her face "He wanted to make sure that we
were strong enought to fight for love. He wanted us all to grow before he
rewarded our prayers. I love you Kimberley Ann and I am going to fight for
you to the death"
