The next morning , Carl was up early he had found it to sleep so he had been up at around 5.30am worrying about how to tell the kids that they had to live with him now. at about 730am Thomas came in , morning mate you want some breakfast. yes please dad can i have some toast, don't you wan cereal no just toast please, OK is Anya awake yet , no Idont think so she sleeps all day my mum calls her lazy bones. Well i tell you what you go and get her up and i will make you both some toast, OK dad but it will be hard, Carl started making toast and Thomas went to wake his sister. Anya Thomas screamed at the top of his voice again and again.Where's the fire , Matt shouted as he passed Thomas on the landing , what fire Thomas replied , but still shouting Anya's name as loud as he possibly could. before long Jimmy andhas Chas were up to , but still Anya stayed in bed . Matt said to Carl what the hell is he shouting like that for ,hes waking Anya , Carl cant you shut him up iv got a hang over and i wanted a lie in today , Carl laughed and said well you shouldn't drink so much should you , anyway Carl said who wants toast . Dad Anya wont get up , just leave her for now and eat your toast Carl said. when Thomas finished Carl told him to go and get Anya up again, tell her were going out today and you two can pick were to go. Matt decided to go back to bed and Jimmy went out for the papers ,Carl sat down next to Chas , he had noticed she was Little off with him she hadn't hardly touched her toast or drank her coffee, you OK he asked , yes Chas replied but Carl could tell by her tone that she wasn't. look Chas Ive said sorry what more can i do. just as Chas was going to answer the kids came in , dad can we go to the zoo again like last time , and have a pic nic. yes of coarse you can you see if you can get your selves dressed and i will make the picnic.

Carl started making sandwiches and Chas started clearing the table. are you coming with us or what Carl asked Chas , I don't know I told Eli i would pop round see how he was .Carl sensed Chas was being awkward and just replied whatever do what you want. Well it wouldn't hurt you to apologies you know Iwouldn't have to go round there if you hadn't have flattened him , well I'm not apologizing to that idiot so don't ask OK. OK Chas replied ill have to do it for you then wont I , Carl looked at Chas angrily and said , don't apologize for me because I'm not sorry. Well i suppose I cant go then can I , suppose you cant Carl said leaving the room to check the kids were ready, come on kids Ive got the pic nic ready hurry up now. to Carl's amazement they were suitably dressed and ready to go.when Anya walked past Chas she said dad can Chas come , Anya had got on well with Chas sinse she had been there she was the only female adult and Anya like playing dress up and putting on her make up, no Carl said Chas is busy today she has to go out for a bit,Anya turned to Chas and said will you come with us please i will be the only girlyoud better, Carl sensed the disappointment in Anya's voice , and said to Chas OK you win , if i apologize will you come with us,Well you had better sound like you mean it don't embarrass me by being funny with him . look Chas Carl said we can go over now before we go the zoo but I'm not staying long so are you coming or what.

The morning went without a hitch , but Carl started getting anxious he knew he had to talk to the kids and tell them the truth about their mum ,Chas noticed he was quiet , Your quiet whats up Chas said , Oh I just dont want to upset them thats all I don't know what to say , The truth Chas said just tell them the truth, oh yeah Carl said you can't see your mum no more because she threatened to kill you, I can't say that there only babies. Look Carl Chas said you can just say she was naughty for now , as they get older you can tell them more , but what if they ask , they'll be fine , OK lets find a spot for lunch then ,there's a small park shall we go in there yeah Carl replied, will you watch them for a minute while I go and get the food and stuff out the car, Look Chas said, I will get the food out the car you talk to the kids, No Carl said I need you with me I can't do this on my own please I need you there . OK Chas said just calm down go on go and get the stuff i'll play with them while you go.Chas sat and watched the kids play in the park ,Who wants a push she shouted as the kids invaded the swings , Me both of them shouted back OK Chas said but not to high don't want your dad shouting at me do we.after about 5 minutes Carl comeback with the food and a blanket , come on come and get dinner Carl shouted , look dad Thomas shouted back i,m going dead high , Don't go to high you,ll fall off Carl shouted back. they all got off the swings and ran over to Carl.

Thomas and Anya started tucking into the food like they have never been fed , slow down Carl said take your time , no Thomas said I want to go and see the monkeys next , well there's plenty time , anyway theres some think I need to talk to you about. Thomas seemed in a world of his own thinking about the monkeys ,Oye Carl half shouted to attract his attention , Take it easy Chas mouthed to Carl , Look kids how would you like to come and live with me for a while , But my mum will miss us Thomas said and she wont let us , Iwant to live with my mummy AnYa said with her bottom lip shaking . Carl sensed Anya was getting upset and picked her up and cuddled her , its just that your mum can't look after you at the moment. No Thomas shouted I'm going home to my mum , this made Anya worse and she started sobbing more.Why Thomas shouted why can't she look after us. well she got herself into a bit of trouble, Carl replied knowing this was going horribly wrong, and people think you will be better off with me thats all , well we want mum don't we Anya you can't make us stay with you .Thomas started to cry and Carl grabbed him in his arms and said sorry mate. I love you as well you know, Carl told them ,tiers falling down Carl's face more than proved to Thomas he was telling the truth. Thomas hugged Carl back and said will we be able to see mum then like we used to see you , Carl replied I hope so son . tell you what shall we go and see the monkeys now Carl said trying to lighten the mood again, I'll take the blanket back to the car Chas said as they all let go of one another. the rest of the day went without a hitch but Thomas and Anya were very quiet and they both clung to Carl all afternoon.
At the end of the day the kids were extreamly tired and they fell asleep vitually right away , Carl was a little quiet and Chas asked, are you Ok you seem a bit quiet, yeah do you think it went ok Chas do you think they'll be ok , Carl, Chas said they will be fine you were brilliant today and you didnt need me once .

It was Monday morning , and Carl was getting Thomas and Anya ready to go looking at new schools as their old one was alittle to far out the way. Right kids Carl said I have alist of schools of the Internet we need to get you a new school as soon as we can.Why can't we go back to our old school Thomas asked all my mates are there, I don't want a new school dad Anya said I like my old one. Look Carl said you will soon make new friends and besides it will be fun making new friends. the kids were far from happy with the idea and sat eating breakfast close to tiers.

Just as everyone was putting there coats on the door bell rang, it was inspector Dasari , morning Carl he said as Carl opened the door, we have some news regarding your ex wife , OH yeah Carl asked and what might that be. she has been charged with blackmail and threats to kill. she has been bailed she has got a re staining order on her witch means she cannot see you or the children , if she comes near you should call us straight away.OH thats rubbish Carl replied she's their mum she wont hurt them isn't there some arrangement we can come to . No Carl Dasari said the kids are witnesses she can not see them or the case can collapse.I must also inform you that Rosemary King has been charged with your fathers murder. she remains in custody, best place for her Carl replied.

When Dasari left Carl turned to walk in , and saw that Thomas had heard every think , Thomas looked at Carl with anger on his face , its your fault he shouted at Carl you made me tell , I hate you, I hate you , you tricked me, Carl grabbed Thomas close no mate , but before Carl could continue ,Thomas started kicking him in the shins .screaming how much he hated Carl all the time .Carl picked Thomas up in his arms to stop him kicking but Thomas stated to punch him , he had so much anger Carl didn't know what to do he had never dealt with this side of Thomas before and he new he had lost control of him.Anya was sitting in the sofa scared she far from understood what was going on, look Carl shouted at Thomas your frightening Anya , I don't care I hate you Thomas replied.
With all the noise it didn,t take long for everyone else to wake up
Matt was first to enter the room , What the hells happening seriously Carl you need to make him understand , he can't wake people up every morning , Matt was fuming that he had been woke up for the second morning in a row. Carl put Thomas down and he run out of the room shouting you can't keep me here I'm want my mum Ihate you, As Thomas ran to his room he passed Chas , whats up mate Chas asked calmly, go away your not my mum I hate you as well you and him Ihate you both. Chas chose to leave him and went to find out of Carl what happened. Chas and Jimmy walked in the room together , Whats going on Jimmy asked ,Dasari's been Carl replied , He told me Colleen has been charged , and released on bail , and that rosemary has been charged with dads murder she is still in custody he said she never got bail, Good Matt said , best news iv heard all week , but it doesn't explain shorty kicking off, yea Jimmy said what the hell happened, Hared i turned round he was just standing there ,Carl said putting his his head in his hands , heard what Matt said, He heard Dasari telling me ,Carl stopped himself , Chas will you and Anya go an see if Thomas is OK please, Chas realized Carl didn't want Anya to hear so she ushered Anya out the room. well Matt said when they had gone, what did he hear, He heard Dasari saying Colleen could not see the kids there's a restraining order on her. Serves her right she shouldn't have got involved with that cow should she.Oh yeah Carl shouted what about them what about the kids, does it serve them right as well does it . calm down Carl Matt never meant it like that Jimmy said . Yeah he did he doesn't care about any one else not even two little kids. Just then Chas came rushing into the room ,He's not in his room Carl , Chas said , yeah he is he must be Carl replied rushing out. Thomas they all started shouting around the house , He's run off Carl screamed , he must have run off. Look Carl its only been a few minutes he wont have got far probably still in the grounds somewhere. they all went outside looking for him.

No Viv said not been in here , will you ask in the cafe then Carl demanded , OK but i don't think so , please i need to find him Carl said franticly.
while Carl was waiting for an answer from the cafe Matt walked in, No luck then Matt commented , Do i look like Ive had any luck , will you calm down he'll turn up he's just took a tantrum thats all he'll be back soon. Viv came back , no I'm sorry no body has seen him but a few of the customers are organizing a search , Bob and Jamie will search to he .OK thank you Viv Matt said that would be lovely, come on Carl see he'll be fine , no Matt he wont what if , Carl stopped,What Matt said ,what if it wasn't Rosemary , i did hear a mans voice on them phone calls some one could be out there just waiting for a chance.Shut up Carl your panicking about nothing he's run off in a tantrum , well its been nearly two hours now I'm phoning the police.
meanwhile at the dingles ,Belle was feeding the pigs when she heard a noise coming from the barn when she to investigate she found Thomas sniffling in the corner , Belle had seen Thomas before but didn't really know him very well she had only seen him with Carl in the car. Oh my god Belle said your that boy everyone is looking for, my mum and dad have gone looking for you with loads of other people .Well its not me I'm not lost yes you are Belle said your Carl's son ain't you our Chas said your dad is dead worried about you.

But why Belle asked why would you want to leave I would love to live in that house it is like a big mansion.because Iwant my mum.' and my dad made me tell the police and now i can,t see mum again , I haven't got any Friends here and he is even making me go to a new school Ihate him . Thomas started crying , don't cry Belle said I can be your very first friend. Your a girl Idont play with girls , and I don't need new friends because I'm going home. Just then Sam came out calling belle he had made her some dinner he was watching Belle while Zak and Lisa were helping the search. Don't tell Thomas said to Belle .please don't tell I have to everybody's looking for you please I don't like them please don't tell . Belle Sam shouted again , OK coming now Belle replied and she left Thomas in the barn , when Belle got inside guilt took over her she knew how her mum and dad would feel if it was her , so she decided to tell Sam,

Carl Chas and Anya all got in the car, what did he say , Carl asked impatiently just that Belle was talking to him in the barn Chas replied, it bseemed to be taking ages to drive to the dingles when really it is only five minutes away, just bas they were nearly there Chase's phone went again, hello Sam were nearly there, Chas said , oh no Chas said Carl wondering whats going on.Chas put the phone down, hes gone they went to get him he wasn't there, What Carl screamed just as they pulled up. Sam and Belle came running over what the hell happened Carl screamed at SAM , Chas sensed Sam was getting upset , Carl its not Sam's fault leave him alone, Sorry Carl SAM replied i didn't know he was there Belle came in for dinner and told me when i went out he was gone.OK OK Sam , he turned to Belle and said did Thomas say where he was going , yes Belle said he said he was going home to his mum he said he hates you. and I know why your a nark I'd run away from you as well. Look I'm sorry I'm worried I didn't mean to shout at Sam .Carl rang Jimmy to let him know that he had been seen but he had gone again , look Carl you need to Calm down Jimmy said he will turn up, yeah when though Jim , just then a police car pulled up.Hang on heres the police Carl said handing the phone to Chas , hello Jim Chas said ,the police officer got out the car, I think I've found something your looking for he said opening the back door,A sheepish looking Thomas got out , What the hell are you up to Carl yelled at him do you have any idea the trouble you've caused , Chas Jimmy said on the phone calm him down no wounder the kids running off , hes like a loose cannon ,oh yeah Jimmy ,I've been trying all day to calm him down. Chas and Jimmy put the phone down, come on Carl hes safe now leave it, Thomas's bottom lip started shaking , he'd never seen his dad like this before he had only saw the gentle side of Carl, the dad he could manipulate , because he felt guilty about not seeing them much.now he had made his dad angry he didn't think his dad would ever get this angry , I'm sorry dad Thomas said Iwanted to see my mum , how Carl screamed at him you haven't even got a clue where you are you stupid idiot , Carl thats enough Chas intervened your upsetting him , Mind your own business Carl said to Chas without thinking,you go look after your own son I'll look after mine, As Carl had said it he knew he had done wrong , get in the car Thomas I'll talk to you at home come on Anya ,Look I'm sorry Carl said to Chas it just slipped out , Yeah well Chas said you must be thinking it .To Carl's relief Chas got back in the car. and headed back to home farm.
When they got back to home farm Chas and Carl still hadn't spoke , Carl had calmed down a little he was just so annoyed at himself , Chas had been so good with the kids and he had insulted her he didn't know what to say to Chas he just looked at her and smiled and said sorry. Chas ignored it and put the kettle on. go to your room Thomas I'll come in in a bit and see you . Thomas started crying and said he was sorry but to Chas's annoyance Carl ignored him and said again room now.Chas couldn't hold her tongue any more , make you feel hard does it bullying a little kid , He needs to learn he can't put people through that , oh so watching your son crying his eyes out because he misses his mum and ignoring him going to stop him doing it again is it, yeah well a little bit of discipline didn't do me any harm, or me Matt said as him and Jimmy walked through the door just catching the end of the conversation, Ive its about Thomas he needs discipline , The kids in bits Jimmy said he misses his mum he needs love not punishment. well Matt said it didn't do us any harm , yes it did Chas said you all hated your dad, he was a bully and you two were prepared to forgive Carl for killing him thats good discipline was to you. Carl looked at Chas and said thank you , he left the room and went to see Thomas.
OK mate Thomas turned to wards him with a frightened look on his face. look its OK I know you miss your mum but its not our fault mine or yours , she made the wrong choices we all have to live with that ,Thomas looked at Carl and said but will I ever see her again , I hope so son as soon but until then mate you got to put up with me.

[maryg]

After dinner and they had all arrived back home Carl sat the kids down to explain that they needed to go to school he knew it wasn't going to be easy but they had to understand how important it was.

Right kids we need to have a talk Carl said, you know that we really do need to go to look for a suitable school tomorrow , the kids fell silent as they did every time school was mentioned, Carl continued its just that , I can get into serious trouble if you don't go to school.And you two geneses will fall behind and we can't have that can we, Thomas and Anya just looked at him nervously ,Look Carl said, you can pick the one you want but it really is important, the kids knew what he was saying but they couldn't bring themselves to like the idea they had only ever been in one school and they were scared of the change ,OK dad Thomas said unconvincingly we look with you wont we Anya , poor Thomas he was trying to please his dad his poor voice was shaking and he was trying his hardest to be so brave, And Anya sounded just as bad when she agreed with Thomas . Come here Carl said sensing there unease, he grabbed them and gave them a big hug. I promise every think will be OK .
Carl thought the stress of the day made the kids tired so he made them have an early night, and they fell asleep fairly quickly as, to Carl and Chas 's delight they needed time together ,
Well Ive got no choice but to stay in Carl said to Chas but you can go out if you want , if Jimmy or Matt was in id take you out but , i can't. Oh i don't mind staying in Chas said we can open a bottle of wine.
Will you come with us tomorrow Carl said your so good with them sometimes I need you there to tell me off, Carl laughed I'm not experienced enough I need a good kick up the backside sometimes. Chas laughed of coarse I will but I'm not that experienced myself. they both went to bed at mid night and went straight asleep.
Around two in the morning they where both woke up by the sound of Anya crying ,Carl wake up its Anya I think she's upset, OK ill see whats up Carl replied, he went to find out what was wrong, five minutes later Carl returned with Anya in his arms , we have a visitor for the night he said to Chas you don't mind do you, Chas laughed come on sweetheart get in the middle.

The next morning Carl was up first as always he wasn't one for sleeping in he got all the breakfast ready for everyone every day no matter what it had always been his job and one he didn't mind doing. he ate his breakfast and left bacon sausage and toast in a warm oven for when the others got up.
Then he started making phone calls he needed to make,When every one started getting up Carl was still trying to sort stuff out on the phone , What the hell is going on with him Matt asked Chas , Dunno Chas said he was meant to get the kids up to look for schools but he never ,Poor kids Chas said they don't know where they stand,Carl puts the phone down.
Right get the kids up iv got them a school , what Chas said you said they can pick there own , well Ive changed my mind there going back to there own school , what Matt said what about Colleen she'll try to get them , and it will take about forty minutes getting there , Well we can only try cant we and the school know about everything so Colleen can't go near them.
When the kids got up Carl explained that he had changed his mind and it was only a trial as it was quite far and he didn't know weather it would work, but he said looking at Anya you have to get up when you are told other wise it wont work and you will have to change schools, Anya nodded and Carl could sense the weight lifting of the kids shoulders. When do we go back dad Thomas asked , Well we have to go and see the head today get you some new uniforms and you go back tomorrow. the kids where thrilled and the day went without a flaw.
Next morning everyone was up bright and early to everyones surprise even Anya was up. they where dressed in there new uniform and out, Even Mathew and Jimmy where up to wave them off. Carl Chas , Thomas and Anya on the forty minute journey to the school.witch went very well and they got there on perfect timing.
God I hope Ive done the right thing Carl said to Chas on the way back , ill have to employ somebody to do the school run Matt and jimmy wont put up with me taking time of for this all the time.
Anyway Carl said would you like tp go anywhere , just me and you, you know on our own for a change,ooooooh that would be nice Chas said, how about a little retail therapy Carl replied nothing better than shopping to take your mind off things. OK Chas said so Carl took Chas to the Yorkshire designer outlet village where all his family done there shopping . Wow Carl this is enormous Chas said I can't go to these shops , why Carl asked because I just cant , Look Carl said I'm getting a babysitter tonight and I have got this girl who I would love to take to dinner , I'm wondering if you would help me pick an outfit for her, oh yeah Chas replied and who might that be , just some one special thats all , OK Chas said well I suppose id better help you then wont I, But to Carl's annoyance every shop they went into Chas walked out without picking anything , Whats up C arl asked for the umpteenth time , I just can't bring myself to pick anything from here thats all , although at one time Chas would have happily let Carl pay stupid pices for clothes she felt she could not take advantage of him like that any more.Right Carl said come with me Carl took her hand and took her to the biggest womens shop in the village , you had to ring the bell to get in . What are you doing Chas said , shut up Carl replied , A man dressed like a Butler answered the door , can i help you he asked yes Carl replied my lady would like to buy an elegant dress Carl replied follow me madam , the man said , Carl had to virtually drag Chas in the shop , would you lake a seat the man replied ,Chas tried to take in the decor she was over whelmed by its appearance she had never been in such a shop before , then a lady dressed in the most elegant clothes turned up , She had a tape measure around her neck and she said to Chas would you follow me madam , Erm what for Chas said in her most common voice , for a fitting the lady said . Chas looked at Carl and looked at the woman and burst into laughter , I'm sorry love this isn't me and her and Carl walked out the shop. When they got outside Carl started laughing much to Chase's relief, I knew you would hate it thats why i took you, you pig Chas said playfully hitting him,Carl still laughing said thats where Sadie went then she got Colleen into it . So I had to go there quite often , Chas stated laughing , Carl replied I know gross isn't it. so here heres my card go and buy your self something am going for a cup of tea , I just wanted to prove to you , you can have anything now please go surprise me he said giving her his card.
