Something so right – chapter 120
“That didn’t help “ Finn said softly
Niall looked at him
“Why ?”
“Why ? you think its reassuring to know that your “ he paused “ New girlfriend can buy the farm put you back there and kick mom out of the only home she has known in 30 years ?”
“That’s not what I meant “
“That’s what it sounded like “ Willow said “You have left mom to run the farm on her own – I suppose you still expect a share of the profits. You don’t deserve a cent “
Niall’s face reddened – he looked at Tina
“Do you think that I would kick your mom out as well ?”
“I think you would like to but I don’t think you can “
Niall held up his hands “You know Bette said to me that this was going to be really hard. I didn’t think it would be that difficult but God – you all really think I am the devil “
“You made their mommy cry “ Bette said
He shook his head “ Let me get this straight – I would never try and hurt the farm or your mother. Yes I know that I have hurt her and I am sorry and I am trying to make amends by doing the right thing. I am leaving it to the lawyers but I do deserve some of the profits of the farm. But if the three of you think that number one I am capable of being a hard ass baddie or number two that your mother is some helpless virgin who is going to be cheated of the roof over her head by anyone – then you don’t know me at all and you know your mother even less so “
There was an awkward silence
“I know its difficult for everyone but keep on with your explanation Niall “
He looked at Bette – very grateful for her calmness even though he knew from their conversation the day before that the whole fiasco had put a strain on Bette and Tina’s relationship. He nodded at her and looked back at his children – Tina was so beautiful – her long blonde hair made her long so much like Sarah, Finn with his own hair cut in a more masculine style – the young executive – who would have thought of it and Willow – she didn’t know how like Tina she would be in a few years and like her own mother in a few decades. In contrast Bette was dark in hair, eyes and skin – Niall loved her because of how freely and obviously she loved his daughter.
“You two won’t understand what I am about to say – I am pretty sure that only Bette and Tina can understand because I know how they felt about one another from the start. When I met Gemma “ he shook his head “I knew – I just knew that she was going to be a part of my life that would never go away. You are all adults to one degree or another and you all know that for a long time you know that your mother and I have not been that happy. When relationships start to fall apart its not all about rowing and slamming doors – its about not being able to talk about anything other than what you want with your coffee. Gemma was different – she and I like the same music and we talk about movies and TV and current affairs. You four can all think that its about sex and that I have been duped by a smarter older woman but I know that I love her and that she loves me. I love all of you but if you can’t accept Gemma and Adam it’s time for a parting of the ways – I will not give her up regardless of what any of you think – so what’s it to be ?”

go to hell nial, i cant stand himmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
This story feels like home.
Well at least he is being honest. Which is rare for a man :) well in most cases. My exhusband left me for another woman and has never been honest about it. But this story is being written but a woman and this is fiction :)
I don’t understand how Nialls can have this “my way or the high way” attitude. What if Sarah had died and they didn’t like who he remarried. Whould he deny them their only remaining parent? What if something happens to Gemma oar both Gemma and Adam. Would he still be okay with no contact from them. I think he owe them each time to come to grips with this. Finn and Tina have been given their time and respect of confrontation with him. Willow has not and deserves the same. He needs to realise or own up to the REAL fact that he actively chose to father all of these children and enter into the realtionship with Gemma. So now he takes the “That’s the way it is, so deal with it” attitude. I am letting the lawyer decide what percentage of the farm I desereve eventhough I walked away leaving it and Sarah high and dry. What if Sarah had been be fallen in a bad accident with little to no farm hands while he was off securing his new family. Forget parent, what kind of an adult are you teaching your children to be. He is still making a punk move here. Hde says that he is sorry, but it seems more that he is sorry that he got caught and everyone can deal with the reprecussions. Why? Because it’s like that and that’s the way it is.
Niall’s attitude is punk ass. Screw him. He’s acting so stupidly right now that he has NO clue of the suffering he will endure if his childre DO leave him because of the gauntlet he just threw down. Poor Bette, though…she will probably try to save his DUMBass again.
Everyone wants heaven but no one wants to die getting there. Niall is a creep and obviously only cares about his new family. I am surprised that a 26 year old wants this much older man. Daddy issues?
I agree with the girls today, Niall is a punk ass bastard and deserves nothing from the farm. He is right he is a coward and just sorry he got caught. Willow should jump across that table and deck him a good one and kick him in the balls so damned hard he is laid up for a month from it and everythime he coughs he sees a piece of them. Then let him see how much he can use them when he goes home to his little barbie doll. Thanks for posting. Congrats again.
I can understand the anger of the “children”. I can see the point that Nial is getting too…But i can’t see his real purposed on the farm?.. Did he want to diveded into four parts?…Did he wants to sale it?.. So he have something for his son and for Gemma?…This thing is got me thinking…WHAT IS IN HIS HEAD AT THE MOMENT?..Thank you, for posting again.
Excellent update. At least his honest. THank you again for this story.
I don’t think Niall has done anything wrong. He is being open and honest and it’s time for his adult children to act like the adults they are. In the end, while the relationship between their mum and dad affected the kids, the parents deserve to be happy too and they stopped making each other happy.
You know, I get that in his own way he is trying to explain the unexplainable to his kids … but if my father had said that to me, I would just tell him to go f**k himself.P.s. I love your stories!!!
WOW!!! Wrong move Nial!!! Thank you Great Chapter!!! PPS
nial says let the lawyers handle the details… HELLO… gemma and HER family are all lawyers… lets hope the kids all atand up and tell him to GO TO HELL… i agree with the others… i don’t like nial either… he is an ASS… a wimp… lets hope a nice young lawyes comes to work at her firm and turns her head… gee life with an OLD MAN with 3 adult children… or a nice young guy … hmmm no choice… have a nice life nial,…
Stupid move Niall! Don’t give an ultimatum to your kids, except my new family or else. I wouldn’t blame Tina, Willow and Finn if they said good riddance. PPS
Hey AllyE, That was a tough and yet rewarding chapter.I love that Bette managed to get the three Kennard kids to meet with their father and listen to his point of view. Yes, there were terse words however Niall will always be their dad so they all need to move past this betrayal and maintain a relationship as losing it would be so tragic for all of them.None of us is perfect and Niall is now trying to tell them about his reasons and feelings.It was so sweet that Tina happily shared her and Bette’s great news with him.I do still get the sense that Gemma is playing Niall however I hope I am wrong and that Tina, Finn and Willow accept their Dad’s new life and love.Ally, you provoke and discuss such difficult emotions with ease and good humor. I love it all.Thanks for sharing it with me.Your Loyal Fan and Friend.
