Chapter 1: Seeing him again
Tommy had just brought himself and Thunder home for the win. After that everything was in slow motion. Thunder on the ground the ambulance coming. It was like something you would see in the movies. Now it was time for the funeral. There was a huge possibility that he would be there. I mean he was Thunder's son after all. But how would she tell him about Meghan.
She walks into the church with her 6 year old daughter. The first thing she notices is Trent standing next to his mother. She feels her own father
come up behind her. Are you alright asks Walker? I am fine just worried how I tell Trent about Meghan after all he has been through asks Rose. Come to that when you need to for now just be there like always says Alex from behind. Thanks Alex she replies.
The funeral was soon over and they were all over at the Malloy house. Rose watched as Trent wandered around the house. She saw as he walked toward the room she was in. Mom tell you to mingle asks Rose as he walks in the room? Yes he replies as he looks up. It's nice to see you Trent she says as he stands in front of her. Nice to see you too Rose he replies as he looks at her. It's been a long time she says. Too long he replies as he looks at her. I just wished that your father's passing wasn't the reason for this get together she says Rose.
Just then Alex walked in. Not to ruin the moment but Meghan wants to see you Alex says. Whose Meghan asks Trent as he looks at Rose? My
daughter she replies as she walks out of the room. Trent didn't know what to say.
(Next day) Rose was outside the Malloy house. She knocked on their door. Trent answered. Morning says Trent. Morning replies Rose as she looks at him. What did you need Trent that I had to come over this early asks Rose? Whose Meghan's father asks Trent as he looks at her? Why does that matter asks Rose as she walks back down the steps? I just want to know says Trent as he looks at her. Why though what brought that on asks Rose? I look around my house and every wall is covered in pictures of her and you sometimes I know your close with my parents but not that close says Trent.
He's not in the picture says Rose. Why because you didn't tell him or because he is some random person you never saw again says Trent as he follows her down the steps. What do you think Trent what is swirling around in that head of yours asks Rose as she looks up at him? A lot of
things now tell me who is Rose's father asks Trent who had raised his voice a bit. You are she yells as she glares at Trent. He stepped back.
Why didn't you tell me asks Trent as he looks away from her? I was going to. That was what I had to tell you the night you told me you were leaving for the army says Rose. Rose you should have told me I would have decided against the army says Trent. That's why I didn't tell you Trent you were so excited about doing something you really wanted and I just didn't know how to tell you says Rose as she begins to walk away. Trent looked at the ground and then back at Rose even as she walks away. I would have given it all up for you Trent says. I know that's why I didn't ask you too because years down the line you might have regretted it and I didn't want that for Trent says Rose as she gets in her car.
Where are you headed asks Trent? Work dad won't be too happy if I am late for work says Rose. You work at the headquarters questions Trent.
Trent you really think I wouldn't put my training to use I became a Texas Ranger when I was 21 says Rose as she waves and heads off. Just then his mother walked out. How long have you know asks Trent? About Meghan asks his mother? Yes about Meghan says Trent? Since Rose was about 3 months along I was the one who brought her to the hospital when she went into labor because Alex and Walker were at work she made your father and I promise not to tell you says his mother.
I am your son don't you think I deserved to know that I had a daughter he says. I wanted to tell you but I always thought that she would tell you but when you didn't come home she had to live her life and raise her daughter but she did tell you now you have a chance to be a father to an amazing little girl says his mother. Thanks mom says Trent. Anytime sweetie says his mother.
