Watching him pick up Jerry carelessly, Ella ran over to Samuel.
The boy was suspended by nothing more that a button on his pants. Wasn't he concerned that the boy might fall to the ground?
"What a son he is...? How could he pee on his own father's face?" Samuel spat our the words sarcastically. Ella was still angry with Samuel, but after seeing what Jerry had done to him, suddenly she couldn't help herself laughing out loud. She erupted in laughter.
Ella walked over and kissed the boy on the cheek. What a good boy, she thought.
As he watched Ella with the boy, Samuel felt himself relax. He grabbed a change of clothes from his closet and went into the bathroom.
Before closing the door he heard Ella mutter, "I gave birth to you after all. If daddy doesn't like you, than he can just give full custody to me."
"Dream on!" Samuel yelled the words from within the bathroom.
Outside, Ella let her mind wander for a while before deciding to check whether or not Jerry had wet himself.
She placed the little boy on a changing table and felt around on his pants. Astonishingly, the boy was bone dry.
"My son, you are my whole world..." Ella kissed him on the cheek again.
When Samuel finished up in the bathroom he walked out into the bedroom. He found the room deserted. He walked over to the top of the staircase and heard Ella and Vincent's laughter coming from the first floor.
Samuel grimaced, well aware of what it was the two were laughing about.
"Father!" Samuel greeted Vincent, who was holding baby Jerry in his arms.
When Ella noticed Samuel coming down the stairs, she immediately lowered her head and busied herself with her cell phone.
Viola was not around, and the feeling in the living room was generally comfortable.
As Samuel moved to have a seat next to Ella on the couch, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Ella took a quick glance at the display of her phone. As Ella moved to leave the room to answer the call, Samuel quickly grabbed her arm to prevent her from leaving.
Taken aback by Samuel's sudden show of force, the startled Ella turned her head back towards Samuel.
"Let go of my phone." Samuel commanded Ella icily.
Hearing his command, Ella smoothly wriggled free of his grasp before heading out. She quickly exited the room.
What reason do I have to listen to Samuel anymore, she thought to herself. It was just Sum after all. After all, Samuel hadn't offered any explanation for his arm's being around Catherine.
Seeing Ella blatantly refuse his command, Samuel even more blatantly followed her out of the room.
The young couple, disappearing from the room suddenly, rubbed the older generation the wrong way. Vincent turned to Melody for an explanation. "Melody, what's going on with those two?"
Melody stood up to catch a sight through the window. The two people were pulling and pushing. "Nothing, just let them be! They don't need our help, I guess."
Whether or not he understood her, Vincent nodded his head in agreement.
In the Back Garden
Before Ella could even answer the call, she felt Samuel's all to familiar palm grab her right hand.
"Get off me!" Angrily, Ella tried to shake off Samuel's hand.
With the call still ringing in her hand, Samuel seized the phone and tossed it across the garden.
Shocked at Samuel throwing her phone, Ella glared at him. "What's wrong with you? Why would you throw my phone like that?" Raising her head high, Ella chastised Samuel angrily.
Samuel reached out and grabbed her wrist. Pulling her body in close to his, he leaned down and kissed her on her red lips.
