Laura

I was sitting by the window watching as the sun set and I was thinking about home. It was that time of year the snow was falling all around me. I had always loved the snow as a kid. I was from Texas and they didn't get snow much but when they did I loved it. When I turned eighteen I moved with my boyfriend to New York at the disproval of my fathers. They wanted there little girl to go to college and have a good life. Instead I followed my boyfriend who cheated on me a year later and saddled me with the rent and I was working three jobs. I was so busy working trying to keep the roof over my head and food on my table I never found time to date. I used one of those jobs to help me do what I wanted. Besides working as a waitress and part time singer in a club, I was a helper at a youth's center. There they helped me as I showed promise as a great counselor. Three years and I was a now part of the team of counselors that helped ran the youth center. I took over for my mentor Kelly Moore who retired. I made a great life for me self and all I wanted was to show my father's that I became something after all. I haven't been home in a few years and wasn't sure if my father's wanted me to come home. The two of them were young when they got together and had me. They were only seventeen and so much in love. They have been together twenty-six years but married twenty-four. There twenty-fifth wedding anniversary was coming up January 10th only five days before my birthday. I wanted to go home for Christmas to surprise my fathers but want's sure if they would even want me there. They really haven't talked to me since I left they sent me Christmas cards and Birthday cards. I felt horrible about the things I said and how I left things. The worst part was, I had been an only child till that summer when I left home. My father turned up pregnant and I had a little brother and a sister he had twins on Dec 23 almost three months early but both were ok. They would be going on six years old. My fathers were always there for me and said they always would be. But I inherited both of their stubbornness and refused to call them when I was really down. I spent many of night crying wishing I had my father's to talk to, to hold me, to tell me it was going to be ok. I kept in touch with my Uncle over the years and I was always welcome there. I wondered if I called him if I could go to his house and work up the courage to go see my fathers. And it was always the same thing that popped into my head something that Kelly taught me. Life is like a waterfall it flows and never stops. I was so lost in thought I never heard my phone ring till the answering machine picked up.

"Hey Kiddo I was calling to see what you were doing for Thanksgiving your Aunt and I would love for you to come to Austin and spend it with us. Please call me back I love you kiddo." He said as I reached for the phone.

"Hello Uncle Mark?" I asked

"Hey thought I missed you. So how are you?" Mark asked

"Good how's Aunt Michelle doing?" I asked

"Good, the two of us have been talking and Mason and Ryder want to see there cousin and we were thinking about flying out to NY to see you but then with the high risk pregnancy. We figured that we would call and see if you wanted to come home to Texas." Mark said

"Well then you tell Aunt Michelle that I would love to come out and have Thanksgiving with you guys under one condition." I said

"What's that kiddo?" Mark asked

"That I am going to cook Thanksgiving dinner." I said

"Ok deal I was going to do the cooking but if you are sure. I mean at least this way I know we'll be eating Turkey and not pizza." Mark said as I started to laugh at him and is unmanning ability of not being able to cook.

"Sounds good." I said as I got quite I wanted to ask about my fathers but I wasn't sure.

"Kiddo there fine and they miss you even though they don't show it. You know them as well as yourself that stubbornness is way too strong." Mark said

"I was just actually just sitting here thinking about coming home and surprising them. But unsure if I would be welcome in their home after some of the things that were said." I replied

"Well I am going to tell you this they would love to have you home so would your sister and brother and…" Mark trailed off.

"Uncle Mark what are you not telling me?" I asked

"Well you know that your father's send you a Christmas card and Birthday card giving you updates on them and your siblings…" Mark said as I cut him off.

"Please tell me they are both ok that neither of them are sick or Zack or Chloe." I asked

"Laura honey there all ok well except your dad well it seems they are going to have another baby." Mark said as I grew quite thinking about my father having another baby it was almost as if they were trying to replace me. "Hey kiddo I know what you're thinking but it's was totally unexpected. They are not trying to replace you so don't even think it."

"I know I just hate to think that we drifted apart as much as we have. I mean we were always so close and they knew me inside out." I said as there was a knock on my door I walked to the door and opened it.

"I know but hopefully that all can change." Marks said as I saw who was behind the door. I almost forgot I was on the phone as I dropped it and started to back away from the man holding me at gun point.

"Miss Helmsley, it's time to meet your maker." he said

"What are you talking about Steven put the gun down?" I said

"No can do Miss Helmsley it's too late everything is so wrong I can't go back it's your fault." Steven said

"No it's the other's you hang with please I can help you but only if you put the gun down. Steven you are a good kid Marcus and Tyler are playing you, you are better than this." I said

"Sorry it's the only way to insure my little brother's safety." Steven said as I tried to duck as I felt the hot pain going through my chest and the tears that fell as I fell back against the wall and slid down. I watched as Steven ran out of my apartment and left me alone to bleed. I was so wrapped up in everything I forgot about the phone.

"Uncle Mark…tell…Daddies love them…" I yelled I could fell everything getting cold and fuzzy. I knew that I losing a good amount of blood. I knew that I this was the end I was going to die in New York and alone. The only thing I could think of was that I wanted my father's here to hold me and tell me I was going to be ok. If anything they were the ones I was going to miss the most even if we weren't on really good terms.

"Daddies….." I moaned as I heard Kelly's voice Life is like a waterfall it flows and never stops.
