Kelly’s lawyer.  She didn’t arrange it, I did.  I want to see what she has in store for me.” 
    Billie suggested, “Can you cancel it? I have an idea on how you can see your kids.  Do you want to?” 
    He grinned, “Of course I do.  What is the plan this time?” 
    Billie told him, “It’s good that you are checking up on her, but shouldn’t you be checking up on your kids as well? I’m sure her lawyer told her that you were meeting with him.  Where do you think she will be during that time? Why don’t you get her to go to your house to pick up some things, since she will think you are with her lawyer?”
    He admitted, “That is pretty clever.  Then, I can show up there, just so I can see my kids.”

 
Chapter 3
     
    The arrangements had been made for Kelly to go over to Bobby’s place to get some of hers and the kid’s things.  Bobby just hoped her lawyer wouldn’t tell her that he canceled. He invited Billie over so she could help out.  She had a disguise that she wanted to try.  When Kelly arrived, Billie decided to do it.  She made Kelly think she was Bobby’s new nanny.  She told her she would watch the children while she packed.  It worked. Bobby wished he could take them somewhere else to be with them longer.  But, he didn’t want to risk getting caught.  Luckily for him, they had a big house.  Billie kept her eye on Kelly so she could warn Bobby of her actions. Kelly didn’t stay very long.  Billie returned the kids to Kelly without her suspecting a thing.  Once she left, Bobby thanked her for helping him to see his kids.  He insisted, “There has to be a way for me to see them for more than a short period of time.” 
    Billie advised, “Just reschedule your appointment with her lawyer.  Maybe you’ll convince her to forget all about this foolish lawsuit.  You deserve to be with your kids.  Do you think she might be making all of this up because it's her being unfaithful?” 
    He objected, “I sincerely don’t believe she would do that.  It’s hard to believe she’s doing what she’s done so far to me.  I’ll make another call to her lawyer soon.” 
    Billie went back to her office.  She had only been there half an hour when she got a call from Bobby.  He told her that Kelly found out about him seeing his kids.  Apparently, his son had said something to Kelly.  The news was not good.  He said that Kelly was planning on taking him to court.  She wanted a divorce.  He told Billie that he had even called Kelly to ask her why she was being so hard on him.  Kelly told him that she had proof of his affair.  He said she had some type of pictures of him and his supposed mistress together.  He could only see the pictures in court.  For all he knew, it could be a misunderstanding.  It probably wouldn’t hold up as evidence anyway.  Billie remarked, “Do you want a divorce? Would you settle for temporary custody of your kids?” 
    Bobby asserted, “I want this to be a terrible dream, that's what I want.  What I have done to deserve this, God only knows.  I’ve got to talk her out of this before it is decided for us by a judge.”
    Being a reporter is hard enough work as it is without keeping up with everyone's social life.  Billie was caught up in conflict with Bobby Douglas and Chris Brady.  Chris was more in control than denial, so Billie was more wrapped up in Bobby’s divorce. She did some research for Bobby.  It was for the trial that may or may not take place.  They were looking for an ‘out clause’ or anything that would help.  Billie wasn’t sure if it would help him.  But, she didn’t mind doing it in her spare time.  She was just glad that he wanted her involved.
    A week had passed before she decided to try and call Bobby.  He had accomplished more than she had.  He had talked Kelly in to letting him see his kids.  He wanted more than that, but had to settle for what she had given him.  He told Billie he was planning on
