What was Pete's reaction to the news that his daughters would be coming to stay with him full-time?

After the shooting incident, Lecia called her father collect and demanded that he send two plane tickets for his daughters the next day. When the girls finally arrived back in Texas, Pete was waiting for them with open arms on the tarmac. That night, he let the girls sleep in bed with him, but he spent the night weeping. When he thought the girls were asleep, he broke into prayer, begging God to "bring these babies' momma back."
