Daddy's Right - Dennis McDade
Epilogue
Chapter One
Wade pulled into his regular parking spot on the curb in front of his house and turned off the car’s ignition. After spending the whole day checking and cross-checking numbers, all he wanted to do was go inside and spend some quality time with his boys. Just thinking about them brought a smile to his face, and that smile lasted until he thought about Gabrielle, his wife and mother of his boys. Getting out of his car and double checking that it was locked, he walked up the short steps that led to his house. Maybe today would be one of those good days and Gabrielle would actually be well behaved, he thought to himself.
As he opened the door, he immediately heard a shout and the sound of running footsteps.
Daddy’s home, daddy’s home,
screamed his younger son Mike, as he ran from the living room and jumped into his father’s arms. Mike was five and still greeted his father as if Wade had been away on military duty for two years. Not that Wade minded this at all, his sons were the best thing in his life and he loved them to pieces. Shawn, his oldest son, greeted him with a fist bump, which Wade could easily tell that something was wrong from the expression on his face.
What’s up champ?
he asked, as he carried Mike into the living room, stopping to take off his shoes at the entrance.
We ain’t eat nothing since we got back from school. I’m hungry dad,
Shawn sulked. Normally, Wade would have corrected his grammar, but he was too shocked to even think about double negatives and improper use of grammar.
What do you mean you haven’t eaten? Didn’t your mother make any…?
That sentence was cut short as they came into the living room and Wade spied Gabrielle sitting in a corner of the room. She was laying against the head of a chair, snoring silently while a children’s cartoon played on the TV screen. Without asking, he already knew what happened from the empty bottle of whisky in her outstretched hand. Gabrielle gave a small mumble as the bottle dropped from her hand and rolled on the floor. Shaking his head in disgust, Wade herded the kids into the kitchen where he turned on the stove to bring a pot of pasta to boil. Laughing with the kids, he listened to Mike and Shawn talk about basketball practice as he prepared dinner. Preparing the table, he heard a sound as Gabrielle stumbled into the kitchen. At first she looked confused at seeing him, then glanced at the clock as her eyes widened in surprise.
Shit,
she cursed out loud, obviously wishing she had woken up before he arrived home from work.
I won’t have you cursing in front of the kids Gabrielle,
Wade whispered. It’s bad enough you’re starving them.
I’m not starving them Wade, they’ve eaten,
she replied defensively, not bothering to keep her voice down. Wade saw Shawn pause on his way to put a fork in his mouth, poised to watch his parents fight again. Smiling at Shawn, to ensure there was no problem, Wade grabbed Gabrielle by her arm and walked her into the bedroom.
What the hell Gabrielle, an ice-cream cone is not considered food. And getting drunk in front of the kids, what are you thinking?
he asked.
I ain’t drunk. Hell, with the money you leave behind, we can’t even afford something good enough to get me drunk,
she sneered in his face. As her voice increased with every word, Wade started to get scared the
