night time talks

Kelly's pov





'I love what you've done in here daddy...........' Kelly wandered around her fathers office taking in all the new surrounding.



'Hey look at this........' Kelly watched her father pulled out a life size cut out of her to stand smiling.........'



'oh my god..........' Kelly's mouth hung open as she heard Carrie giggle behind her.



'I found it in a shop............they didn't believe I was your father when I asked for it...............'Kelly smiled sweetly at her father, he always tried so hard to make her happy.



'You should have called me...........i would have talked to them...............'



'Kel?........'Kelly turned hearing Carrie's soft voice from across the room.



'Yea..........'



'I need to call the record company...........i'll be out front if you need me..........'



'Something wrong?........'Kelly searched Carrie's face for any kind of sign.



''It's just a text............probably something about the album.........i'll be back soon...........' Kelly watched her wife disappear from the door frame before turning back to her father. He was looking directly at her frowning.



'Your mother called me a few months back...........she said you called her crying...........'



'Dad.......'Kelly interrupted.



'No no......im not judging........im just surprised, I didn't think she would be here............'



'She's my wife...........'



'That she is............' Kelly's dad turned back to the window as he continued. ' It's not nice hearing your mother on the other end of the phone crying cause our baby is upset..............it reminded me of when you were little and she call telling me how angry you were with me for...........' Kelly heard her father sigh heavily. 'Well for not being there..............'



'It's all in the past dad..........we can't change it.............'



'I just don't want my baby being hurt............' Kelly's father turned around a small smile on his face. 'but like you said........it's all in the past................'





Carrie's pov





'Carrie you still there?.........'Carrie closed her eyes tight as she heard the voice on the other end of the phone.



'I'm here..........'



'It's nothing personal Carrie...........The cut backs are huge now...........music isn't the business it used to be............Some people just can't make it........'



'I understand...........Bye..........'



'I'll call soon............'Carrie shut off the phone without saying another word. She could see Kelly's father looking down at her from his office window, his lips moving as he spoke to her wife. Her first thought was to get into the car and go, send Kelly a text and leave. But she knew the short blond would just be right behind her pulling her back. She looked up to see Kelly's dad gone from the window, Kelly would be finished talking to him now and searching for her any minute. She knew she had to go back inside, pushing herself from the car she slipped her phone back in her pocket as she opened the front door.



First thing she heard was Kelly's laughter fill the living room, as she turned the corner she saw Kelly sitting in between her father and his wife all looking at a photo album on her knee.



'Hey......'Carrie really didn't know what to say but she wanted Kelly's attention.



'Hey..........'Kelly tried her hardest not to make her words melt when she was around her father. 'Everything ok?........'



'Perfect.......'Carrie forced a smile on her face as she watched Kelly look at her closely. She sent her a pleading look begging her not to ask any more questions in front of her father. Kelly seemed to understand as she looked back down at the photo album.



'Dads showing me some old photos...........'Kelly explained holding the photo album out for Carrie to see.



' Baby Kelly?.......'Carrie quizzed as she took a seat across from her father in law.



'Actually I don't have.....any photos of Kelly as a baby.........i didn't...........'



'Take any when you left?.......'Carrie finished for him. She watched as he flinched at her words. She knew it was bad to do that to him but she felt he deserved it.



'I don't have any........'He explained quietly.



'I'll send you some.........'Carrie smiled warmly at him. 'I have hundreds........'



'Eh.......so who was on the phone........'Kelly stood standing between her father and her wife.



'Just album stuff..........' Carrie looked down at her hands as Kelly looked at her, scolding her with her eyes for bring up the past with her father. Carrie stole a look at her watch, all she had to do was get past the next few hours . Her heart was breaking at the news the record company gave her , breaking even more with the pretence she had to keep up in front of her father in law.
