Havin a brew

[Cian McNamara]

Cian shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, "It was still hard for me an'all. Its different when its yer own kids..." he shrugged his shoulders again, he didnt want to argue with Ash about this kind of thing especially not now when he hadnt seen his friend in a while and they were enjoying a friendly drink.

"I want her back Bogtrotter, ye know I do. She can't handle the girls an' Id try make it has easy as possible for her but I need to see me girls every day an' have them overnight an' stuff. She doesnt want me back, not with the girls" he shook his head, he was sure that Franca loved him but he was also sure that she'd never be truly happy while he had the girls in his life.

Cian played with his phone, twisting it behind his fingers as he tried to decide what to do about Ash & Clee before holding his phone up, "I know how we can get her to come to us....but yer gonna have to help me. I ring her an' tell her the wee man isnt well" Cian nodded his head, a plan formulating in his mind. "I suck at lyin' so yer gonna need to punch me hard, in the face. Make me eyes water, it'll be convincin'! I tell her the wee man is really sick an' I need her an then pop, she'll apparate to me but yer gonna need to stop her leavin' when she see's ye" Cian nodded his head, he didnt fancy being beat up by Ash but he figured this would be a foolproof plan to get Clee to come to them.

Ash quietly thought over what Cian was saying about Franca, the twins that his best friend had with his cousin Erin, and he could understand Cian's point of view. But on the other hand he could understand why hated that Erin had had Cian's kids. If Ash was honest, he'd never be with a girl who had baggage with someone else. "The two of ya's can't compromise on this? Why ya gotta see'em every day? Why ain't ya worked out a schedule with Erin like ya have with Frankie, mate?" Erin was Ash's cousin but if Ash was honest, Erin annoyed the piss out of him most days. "Ya don't see the wee man every day, so why's it not the same with the girls?" he asked, wondering why he never asked these questions before. Ash wouldn't admit to anyone that his near death experience did something to him, it had made him realize who and what was important to him and what was not.

He mulled over Cian's plan, trying to poke holes into it to see where it was the most weak but couldn't see anything, it seemed like a good, strong plan. Nodding his head, Ash replied,"Aye. We're doin that. But not here. Clee's lose her shit when she sees been set up and I ain't lettin innocent bystanders feel her wrath. We'll do it at yer place..make it seem like ya got the call and were just leavin yer house. See me? She ain't gonna see me first, I'm gonna sneak up on her, I got a wee charm that'll keep her from apparating." Ash smirked, he knew a lot of charms and spells now, he had a full arsenal of weapons now that he was an Auror.

"Drink'er down, bogtrotter..we got some witch capturin to do..." Ash did have one worry on his mind, and that was if Clee brought along a friend with her. He wasn't sure he was prepared to deal with 2 wizards who would be pissed off at him.

Cian shrugged his shoulders, he'd seen the girls near enough every day since they were born and he didnt want to admit it was because he was always worried that Erin would be twisted and refuse to let him see them, she wasnt like Franca who never stopped him spending time with his son even when they werent talking. Cian knew that Erin was very independent and the manner in which the twins were conceived was always a sore spot for Erin who had admitted to Cian that she liked him yet he had chosen Franca over her.
"If Frankie an' me got back together, Cillian would never get to see his sisters because Frankie would have me arrange the girl's visits when she werent around. If we lived together, which ye know, I'd want then what'd she do when I had the girl's overnight or Er came to pick th em up? Exactly...Im never gettin' Frankie back" Cian felt terrible, he had went over and over in his head how to get Franca back but he always came up with reasons why she'd never come back to him and it all but broke his heart all over again.

Cian swallowed noisily, he'd just agreed to be punched in the face by Ash, lie to Clee and then have her practically kidnapped, he hadnt thought about her reaction until Ash mentioned it. Moving his hand absently over the scar on his neck that Clee had given him for simply cheeking her, Cian sighed and nodded his head "Aye ok, back to mine then. Don't break me nose, this is the money maker" he gestured to his face before downing the last of his drink, setting the glass on the bar as he pushed himself to his feet ready to leave for their kidnap mission.

"Ye tellin' Ange to come over? Or we gonna wait until we see what state she's in?" he asked in a small voice, part of him terrified that Clee had become wound up in something seriously bad.
