He does have a heart of gold, he really does. There are more loving moments between Hannah and James to come. He genuinely wants to marry her and start a family.

I passed for the same kind of situation, that Cali is passing, many years ago, so I completly understand her, and maybe that's why I wanna see James go back with Fran. Keep writing! I wanna know what are going to say the other band members. MORE PLEASE!!!

I had sat curled up on the couch with James for most of the morning the following day. He couldn’t believe his daughter’s harsh words to him when they departed for home the day before. He was also processing the fallout from our press story—we had both been fielding calls from our friends all day, some were horrified, others were in complete support. Finally, the band’s manager Peter Mensch called. ‘James, we need to get together and talk about this. Come into HQ later today if you can—I’ll get the other guys in here too’. James had agreed without much further thought, I knew I would go with him to the meeting since I was responsible for the reflection this story had on the band. I stroked his thigh to rouse him from his catatonic state. He had been staring painfully at the coffee table, and I was sure he had a lot on his mind. ‘James? You’re so good to me’ I admitted gratefully. I was truly sorry that any of my past might have a negative effect on the band’s image. He leant in for a warm kiss. ‘Remember when I said I would defend you?’ he recalled. I remembered alright. ‘I will defend you—but whether management wants me to is another thing’ he said sadly. ‘Peter might say to us at the meeting that we’re to deny the story even though it’s true, to protect our reputation, so just be prepared for that’ he said. ‘But—it’s so clearly true!’ I said. ‘They have my former clients, and my website, and photos of me….’ James nodded. ‘It’s not about the facts—it’s about the perception and the problems that might stem from that…’ he explained. ‘I don’t understand?’ I wasn’t following his train of thought. ‘We could—potentially loose a business partner or a sponsor if we didn’t deny it’ James explained. Now that he said it, I realised how much damage my story might do to him. I felt horribly guilty and responsible for what I had brought into his life. I couldn’t stop my tears. ‘I’m so sorry James!’ I buried my face into his shoulder. ‘Don’t worry, we’ve dealt with worse. I just want you to talk to your mom, you don’t know yet if she knows’. I was far too scared to call home, but I knew I had to, to invite them out here for Anthony’s first birthday party in two weeks. ‘Please, just call her—will you do it now?’ he offered handing me his phone. I took his phone with a shaking hand, I knew I had to. I hadn’t talked to my mother in nearly ten months. To my delight, the phone rang to the answering machine. I heard her voice in the message and held my breath for the beep. Hi Mum—it’s me, Hannah. I’m back in San Francisco, and Anthony and I live with my new partner now. His name is James. I paused awkwardly knowing I had to bring up Ray. James stroked my leg kindly in support. I’ve visited Ray in Scotland, he’s still in rehab but he’s hoping he’ll be out soon. Anyway, I’ve called because it’s Anthony’s first birthday in two weeks, and I would really love for you guys to be here to celebrate with us. I’ll fly you, Dad, Amy and Sarah out too if you all want to come. You can come for a week and have a nice holiday in California and see where we live. Please don’t worry about expenses, I’ll cover it. It felt very odd to say, as my family had no understanding of the source of my current wealth. I really hope you’ll come, I finished badly. I had a terrible relationship with my mother and it was all my fault. I was so afraid of her perception of me as a call girl, that I had purposely estranged myself from her. ‘Well done’ James smiled kindly. I handed him back his phone with a long exhaling breath. ‘I might be the worst daughter in the world, expecting them to come here to see me after I’ve not contacted them in nearly a year’ I said. ‘Families are fucked up’ James announced reflectively. I nodded in agreement. His phone rang in his hand and I jumped, terrified it was my mother returning my call. Instead, it flashed ‘Francesca’ across his screen. He flashed his understanding eyes at me for silence. ‘Hello?’ he asked cordially. ‘James! The kids arrived home late last night a total mess! What on earth did you say to them? Cali swears she never wants to speak to you again! I can’t believe what they’re telling me! She says you told them you’re engaged, she heard you two having sex, you introduced them to Hannah straight away, you paraded Anthony around like he is your son, and now they all know Hannah was a prostitute you employed! Well done James! The kids hate you!’ she yelled. She continued to yell without a word from him. ‘You didn’t think that perhaps you could have introduced them slowly—that maybe you might not have sex while they stayed, and that you didn’t kiss her in front of them for a little while? The kids are mortified, James! How could you treat her baby like he’s your son in front of them?! What were you thinking? ‘She took a breath from her angry rant to hear his explanation. He had no words, instead, his mouth just gaped open. ‘I think you should visit us here next month for Christmas—I don’t think they should come to you if Hannah and Anthony are there—they are really upset, James. They are so hurt! ‘His soft blue eyes welled with tears. ‘I want them here for Christmas!’ he begged. ‘You should come to us—I don’t want her anywhere near them for a long time!’ Francesca admitted. ‘You aren’t the one who has to listen to them crying themselves to sleep over this!’ she yelled. ‘Alright—I’ll come to Buenos Aires for Christmas’ he agreed. He shook his head softly in apology to me. I knew he had no choice but to accept his ex-wife’s demands if he wanted to see his kids. ‘So now I have to explain to them how you met Hannah’ she yelled again. ‘I have to sit them down and tell them that you ruined our marriage by repeatedly sleeping with her while we were still together. I don’t know if they will ever trust you again, James!’ she was exasperated. ‘You better hope they forgive you one day’ she predicted darkly as the line cut out. |

He'll be there to try and fix things with them. It's gonna be hard for him and Hannah to be apart though.

I think with kids will be extremely difficult to fix things between them, if Hannah will be still with him. |
