Two Months after Katey Left Cuba

"Katey you should tell him." Susie said hugging her sister.

"Susie, I-I can't. He said himself that he has to take care of his family, he has to make a difference. If I tell him, he'd give up everything for me! I can't do that to him." Katey sobbed grasping at her sister's sleeve.

"He deserves to know that he's a father."

"He hasn't replied to any of my letters! Susie I face to face it, he's forgotten about me!"

"Are you going to be able to raise this baby on your own?"

"I'm going to have to, now aren't I?"

"What about mom and dad?"

"I have to tell them sooner or later."

"Better now than never." Susie said squeezing her sister's hand.

15 Years Later

Katey looked around her spotless apartment and sighed when she saw the tape reel on the coffee table. It was the one of her and Javier. She smiled at the memory.

Things had been looking up for Katey. She lived in a nice apartment in New York where she owned a dance school. She taught young adults Latin Ballroom dancing. She was happy to be passing on her skill.

Her daughter, Havana, was turning fifteen soon. She didn't see Havana much anymore. She had been traveling all over for dance competitions. She went to a dance boarding school: Global Dance Academy For Girls. Katey had paid a fortune to get her into it. It was worth it though; Havana was a true dancer how could she not be wither her parents and grandparents?

"Auntie Kayie!" Two year old Lizzy screamed as Susie opened the apartment door.

Katey smiled at her sister, she was twenty-eight now, Katey felt jealous, she was already in her thirties.

Susie had become a model at age twenty; at the agency she worked at she had met a boy named Paul. She had married him at age twenty-three. Their first born, David, came a year later; then two years Sarah, and then little Lizzy.

"Hey, where's my hugs from my favorite girls!" Katey said kneeling and opening her arms for the two little girls to run into.

After she had hugged the girls – David refused to get 'girl' cooties on him—she stood and gave her sister a hug.

"Where's Paul?"

"He's working."

"Oh, so you came her to see Havana before she has to leave?"

"Of course."

"Well I'm going to go pick her up. We'll see you when we get okay?"

"Alrighty."

Katey drove to the airport to pick up her daughter. She had just come back from Ottawa in Canada.

"Mom!"

"Havana!' She embraced her daughter. Then she looked into Havana's chocolate color eyes. She looked so much like her father. Everything just called Javier.

They got home a half hour later and Havana was delighted to be greeted by her aunt and cousins, and her grandmother and father.

"So where you off to next Annie?" That was her Nick name, only did her mother ever call her Havana. Other wise it was Ann and Annie.

"Cuba." She said excitedly. That's when all the adults in the room froze, including Paul (who had arrived shortly after dinner)

"Where in Cuba honey?" Katey asked in a shaky voice.

"We're going to be staying in Regla, it's about two and a half hours from Havana, which is where we are having the dance competition at the Palace, but it's cheaper and safer for us to be outside the city. We're actually going to be doing partner dancing, the Wards Academy for Boys is coming too."

At that Bert Miller choked on nothing. "Not the kind of dancing mom and my dad did, ew." Havana said quickly giggling at her grandfather's reaction. "Only the graduates get to dance like that."

"So you're only going to be in Havana for one night?"

"We get off the plane there, we go to Regla, we practice for the rest of the week. Then Friday at noon we get on a bus that will take us to Havana, we go back at nine. Then it's the weekend and there's a bus that is taking us to Havana at eight in the morning, then we get on the bus and nine to go back, then the next day it's at eight again but we get back on the bus at seven. Then it's the same thing and the next Monday is the competition."

"Oh, well okay. That sounds fun." Katey said with a smile.

"I know! I leave Monday and we're there for two weeks! I'm so excited!"

The rest of the night was all fun and games with the Miller family, but Katey wasn't paying attention, she was thinking of Javier. There was no way that Havana could run into him Havana was a huge city after all. He probably didn't even live there anymore. With that as a final thought, Katey tried to enjoy the weekend.
