Chances Given
What if Greenlee had been pregnant when Leo died? In 2011 Greenlee struggles with being a single mother as Trey is released from jail and a certain familiar face returns to Pine Valley. Alternative story to "I wish you were here" written due to Josh coming back to AMC!
Chapter 1
LD had always been a very energetic child. He was the only thing that kept Greenlee going through the day
"Mom wake up! Wake up!" the almost 8 year old said bouncing on the bed
"Okay, okay, I'm up" she groaned placing the covers over her head
"You are not!" he sniffed "you are still in bed!" LD complained. Greenlee smiled widely
"Okay smarty pants, I know this is a big day for you, but could I have like 5 more minutes please?" Greenlee asked. LD laughed at his mother's goofy face
"But Ryan is coming to pick me up!" LD said "you said we could have French toast today" the boy had now gotten off the bed and was standing in front of her. The doorbell rang and LD hurried to answer it
"Hey buddy, ready to go?" Ryan asked as the boy let him in. LD had already gotten dressed, gear and all
"Hey" Greenlee told Ryan. "I just had to work late last night, I'm sorry I'm missing it"
"don't worry, I think it's good that he has some boys alone time, you know, moms being the way they are" Ryan said "okay so let's go"
LD kissed his mother goodbye and jumped into the car with Ryan. Greenlee had been really grateful for the way people had reacted to her pregnancy after Leo was gone, specially Trey and David, but they weren't around anymore so now Ryan had turned out to be an excellent surrogate for LD's needs
"Leo" Ryan smiled "come on, you are doing great"
"I've done this before" the boy said looking down. You would think he would be scared but he was an expert when it came to climbing
"I know, but you should be more careful, do you know what your mom would do if something happened to you?" Ryan smirked. LD ignored him and focused on the rock ahead. He was almost 8 and his father's ways were starting to show on him
"Hello?" Greenlee said half sleep
"Greenlee?" a familiar voice said on the other line
"Trey?" she asked, sitting straight on the bed "is it really you?"
"Yeah, long time huh?" he said. Amusement in his voice "how is the little guy?"
"Not so little anymore" she answered with a little nostalgia "he looks more like Leo everyday"
"He'll be about 7?" Trey asked. He had left shortly after he was born
"He'll be 8 soon actually" Greenlee said "I can't believe how time just goes by" it had been a long time sincerely last spoke. He was allowed a call once in a while, but he rarely considered calling Greenlee
"So, listen, I'm getting out in a couple days and I really appreciate it if you would have coffee with me, just as two old friends catching up"
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Seeing Trey would just open old wounds that had taken a long time to heal, but then again…
I was just so happy when Josh said that he'll be going back to AMC that I had to write a fic about him coming back! Hope you like it! Please review!
