Kris found the doctor and sped back to the villa. The doctor and a couple nurses immediately went in by Kara. Phillip was hanging on Adam.
“Kris, take Phillip so I can go in by Kara. Phillip, I am going to go in by Mommy, you stay here with Uncle Kris.”
“I want to see Mommy.”
Kris took Phillip from Adam, “Come on, big fella, why don’t we go downstairs and play with some of your toys.”
Adam looked at Kris gratefully and then went in the bedroom. Kris took Phillip downstairs and tried to keep him occupied. They occasionally heard Kara scream which agitated Phillip.
“Why is Mommy hurting?”
“She is having a baby and it hurts.”
“Maybe she should not have a baby. Will Daddy have a baby too?”
“No, only Mommy’s have babies.”
Another hour passed. Adam with Simon came out of the room looking agitated. Kris looked at Adam.
“It is another breach birth. The doctor is preparing some medicines to help if there is a lot of bleeding.”
Simon seemed extremely upset, “I knew her having this baby was too dangerous. I swear to God I will kill you if she doesn’t make it.”
Phillip started screaming, “Why are you yelling at Daddy?”
Adam glared at Simon, “Uncle Simon is joking because he is worried about Mommy. Uncle Simon loves Daddy he would never hurt me, would you Simon?”
Simon snorted but then looked at Phillip, “I am just kidding. No one is going to be hurt. I was only yelling at your Daddy because sometimes he doesn’t understand things and that helps.”
Phillip looked at Adam and yelled, “Do you hear me, Daddy?”
“The whole country can hear you, little one.”
The nurse came out and said the doctor was ready to deliver the baby. Simon immediately went in the room. Adam kissed Kris short on the lips and whispered,
“Take Phillip downstairs and just be prepared for anything. If Kara dies, Simon is going to go insane.”
Kris took Phillip downstairs and prayed. Phillip could sense the tension and was acting up. He was banging his toys and throwing a fit. Kris could hear Kara screaming which was making Phillip cry. The screaming stopped and Kris wondered what had happened.
“I want Mommy. Why can’t I go to her?”
“Soon, Phillip. Mommy needs to get better first. Finally, Adam came flying down the steps. He had some blood on his shirt which made Phillip scream,
“Where’s Mommy?”
“It’s OK, Phillip.” Adam smiled, “Mommy is upstairs resting and you have a new sister.”
Kris said a silent prayer of thanks and then hugged Adam.
“Congratulations, Adam. Was it better for Kara, this time?”
“It was better but not great. She is going to be in bed for a while but she will recover. Simon is freaking out still. Let me clean up and then I will introduce you to our newest Lambert.”
Phillip was getting excited to meet his new sister. Kris and Phillip went in by Kara. The maids had cleaned the room some and gotten rid of the blood soaked sheets. Kara was in bed holding their girl. She was very pale and barely staying awake. Simon was pacing the room. Kara whispered to Phillip,
“Come here, Phillip and meet your sister.”
Phillip went closer and looked at the baby girl. Kris saw Adam come in the room glowing. Phillip turned to Adam and made a face, “I wanted a puppy. Can we get that instead?”
Everyone laughed and Adam spoke, “She’ll be more fun then a puppy. She’s just new.”
Adam took the girl from Kara and came by Kris to show him the baby. Kris thought she was beautiful and wondered what it would be like to see his own child.
“What are you going to name her?”
“We are going to call her Kristy Anne with a K.”
Kris looked at Adam and felt his tears well up. “Really?”
Adam nodded, “We decided to name her after her favorite Uncle. If it had been a boy we would have named him Kristopher.”
The doctor insisted Kara needed to sleep and recommended everyone do the same. Simon still seemed really remote and angry. Adam came by Kris,
“Simon is really messed up and still furious at me. I need to go talk with him and get him to calm down. Why don’t you take Phillip to our room and try to get him to sleep. I will join you in a little while.”
Kris reluctantly agreed. He was worried for Adam and hoped he did not spin Simon up more. Kris took Phillip to their room and after Phillip chattered nonstop for an hour he finally fell asleep. Kris woke up and noticed Adam was not in the bed yet. Kris looked at the clock and saw he had been sleeping about five hours. Phillip moved and settled back down against Kris,
“Can you rub my head like Mommy?”
“OK. Like this?” Kris was lightly rubbing the back of Phillip’s head.
“Uh-huh.” Phillip fell back asleep after a few minutes. Kris dozed and woke up to Adam climbing in the bed. He noticed the sky outside the window was starting to lighten. Adam was freshly showered and his hair damp.
“How did it go with Simon?”
“OK, he was shaken up pretty bad. It was not an easy birth and there was a point we didn’t think Kara or the baby would make it. Luckily, there won’t be any more births.”
“Where is Simon, now?”
“He is sleeping. He was wound up so I stayed up talking him down.”
“Talking?”
Adam got annoyed, “Yes talking. I am allowed to talk to him, aren’t I?”
Kris felt bad, “Sorry, it’s been a long night.”
Adam settled down too, “How is Phillip?”
“He is fine. Get some sleep.” Kris kissed him short on the lips. Adam went to sleep and Kris decided to sleep some more too. He woke up because Phillip was waking him,
“Can we go see the baby?”
“I think she is sleeping.”
“Pretty, please, Uncle Kris.”
Kris got up and took Phillip out of the room without waking Adam. They went in by the baby and watched he sleep for a little while. They went down to breakfast and ate some food. Simon came down. Phillip jumped on him begging to be flipped. Simon flipped him a few times and then told him to finish his breakfast. Simon grabbed a cup of coffee and sat down,
“Thanks for getting the doctor so quick.”
“Luckily, he was home. When will Kara be up and about?”
“Probably in two weeks. How is your family doing?”
“Decent. I think Daniel is struggling.”
“I heard he has some bad habits.”
Kris got concerned, “What did you hear?”
“Katy complains to Kara that he drinks too much, goes out a lot and gambles some. I guess she was expecting someone boring like you.”
“I thought Katy was happy.”
“I think she would be happier if he would settle down.”
“I think I need to head up to the province and see what is going on.”
“Don’t get overly involved. They are adults and can sort themselves out.”
Adam came down overhearing them, “Maybe we should go up to the Province. We can take Phillip so you and Kara can relax with Kristy.”
Kris liked the idea and knew he had to sort out the situation with the Gokeys. Phillip climbed on Simon and was trying to tickling him. Simon was playing back.
“You got a booboo on your neck, Uncle Simon.”
Kris felt his blood run cold. He turned to Adam who had frozen at Phillip’s observation. Adam seemed to recover and smiled, “Phillip why don’t you go see if Mommy is up.”
Phillip ran out. Kris turned to Simon and went to look at his neck. Simon pushed him back before he could see.
“Easy now, its nothing just a mark from Kara.”
“Really? Was she marking you before or after the delivery? Ridiculous.”
“Kris, let it go. It is nothing.”
Kris was pissed and suddenly pulled Simon shirt and noticed the very fresh looking hickey that had been put just below the visible collar line.
“Watch it, Allen. This is not a big deal. Emotions were running high yesterday and we messed around a little, no big deal.”
Kris looked at Adam, “You still lie so easy. If I didn’t see the hickey, would you have told me?”
Adam looked at Kris like he was insane, “Of course not, I am not an idiot. Look how badly you are reacting. Kris, let it go.”
“What happened between you two. I want every fucking detail.”
Simon just got up, “I have much better things to do than be a part of this pathetic love spat.”
“You said you would keep your hands off Adam. You promised Kara.”
“She’ll get over it. You are the only one that is so uptight about these things. This is between you and Adam.”
Simon walked out and went upstairs. Kris was upset. Adam grabbed Kris’ hand,
“I am sorry. It sort of just happened.”
“What happened? What exactly did you do with Simon, Adam?”
Adam’s eyes were darting. Kris rolled his eyes, “Figuring out how much you can and can’t lie about? I really thought you could change.”
‘I have changed. I screwed up. Look, things were really tense between me and Simon. Kara almost died during the delivery and I think it just made us very emotional. We were fighting and then suddenly we were kissing and then…”
Kris looked at Adam, “How far did you go Adam?”
“Why do you want details. It never makes you feel better. Its not like the truth is usually better than your imagination.”
“So you fucked him?”
Adam looked down. Kris punched the table, “What is wrong with you! Can’t you just for once not think with your dick?”
Adam got frustrated which meant he became angry, “I have been trying so hard. I really, really am not use to monogamy and I didn’t stray for so long. Can’t I get a do over on this one?”
“What are you Phillip’s age? Adam, it is not that hard. All you have to do is fuck only me. Is that such an impossible request.”
“No.”
Kris rubbed his hands through his hair, “Look, forget it. I need to go up North and deal with my family. Obviously, I continue to tolerate your shortcomings so I really don’t even want to waste the energy playing our game where I get mad, you promise to change, I take you back and you do the shit all over again.”
Adam seemed confused, “So…you are dumping me or forgiving me?”
“I do not forgive you. I am just not dealing with it right now. Who knows maybe I am getting desensitized to you breaking my heart and don’t even care.”
Adam looked shocked, “I’d rather you got mad. Don’t shut me out. I know it was a shitty thing to do. I regretted-”
“Adam, I don’t want to hear it. If you want to demean our relationship by fucking other people than have at it but please don’t look to me to tell you it’s OK. It is not OK and you know it will erode our relationship. You need to pack Phillip’s stuff so we can leave in the morning.”
Adam’s eyes lit up, “So we are still going together.”
“Yeah, but I wouldn’t hold your breath about us having sex too soon.”
Adam just smiled and headed upstairs to pack for their trip. Kris was hurt that Adam slept with Simon and did not understand why he did it. He realized he could never trust Adam and he was pretty sure Adam would cheat again. He did not want to argue about it until he knew what he wanted. Kris knew Adam would be on good behavior for at least a couple weeks which would give him time to sort out his feelings.

The next day they left for the Province. Phillip was looking forward to seeing his grandmother and Aunt Allison. The ride down was polite. Adam was going out of his way to be charming. After they arrived and briefed the family on Kristy, Kris sat down with Allison while Adam and his mother took Phillip for a walk.
“Does Katy visit with you a lot?”
“We have become good friends. She is really sweet and smart.”
“Is she happy?”
“She is a happy person. I think your family is struggling with the drought and Daniel hasn’t taken his responsibilities as well as, Neil. Well…Neil is not actively destroying the estate. Daniel seems to have a drinking and gambling problem. I think that is making Katy sad.”
Kris was getting mad, “Does he hurt her?”
“I don’t think so. I have never seen her bruised and she has never said anything to that effect. Maybe you should talk to Neil. He and Daniel were good friends. Unfortunately, they had a falling out when Daniel lost at cards to Danny Gokey. He wanted Neil to help get Simon to chase away the Gokeys again. Neil declined and Daniel got mad.”
Kris and Allison talked about other things and then sat down for dinner. Phillip was exhausted after the meal but didn’t want to go to bed. Kris agreed to read him some stories as long as he laid down. Adam came up with them and they laid down in Adam and Kara’s room. Kris read some fairy tales and almost laughed when both Adam and Phillip had fallen asleep. Kris decided to just call it an early night too.

The next day, at Allison’s invitation, Katy came over. She was happy to see Kris and hugged him. Adam and Neil had left early that day to go to the Girauds. Katy and Kris went for a walk and settled down at a bench near the small river that ran through the estate.
“I am sorry Daniel, asked you to get involved. He wanted me to convince you to help us but Kris you do not have to do it. Daniel isn’t as strong as you and he really isn’t the man I thought he was. Your father is frustrated and now devastated. My cousin David is threatening to come and take me and Sara back to Mauritia.”
“I am so sorry, Katy. I thought things were going well for you and you were happy.”
Katy started crying and Kris felt terrible. He hugged her and felt her cling to him for her life.
“Kris, I knew marrying Daniel was going to be a consolation prize but I really thought it would work. It might have except he is drunk all the time and I am always alone. I am sorry but I wish you would have loved me more.”
“Katy, I do love you but not like you deserve.”
“Well, I think I would have rather shared you with Adam then what I have now which is nothing. I am lonely, Kris.” Katy looked at him and before Kris could say anything he felt Katy’s lips on his. Kris didn’t have the heart to push her away while she was so upset.
Kris kissed her back and briefly wondered if they could have made it work. Kris still found Katy beautiful. Kris deepened the kiss which seemed to spark Katy’s passion. Kris knew this was a bad choice but he didn’t care. Kris loosened the top of her dress to give him access to her neck and bosom.
“Holy Shit!”
Kris froze at the sound of Neil Lambert’s voice and watched as they walked towards them. Katy looked horrified and Kris was worried about Adam’s anger. Kris was genuinely scared that Adam would completely flip and kill them. Neil seemed to share his concern as he moved closer to his brother.
Adam’s expression was cold, “Forgive the intrusion. Neil, let’s return to the house.”
