AN:Here is the long awaited next chapter of Alone. Sorry it took so long but for a while I lost the insperation for this story. Oh and I have just recieved my copy of Out of Sight, Out of Time and am now crazy hyper.
Chapter 9
"Dad?" Cammie asked.
My heart began to race Matt was alive and standing in front of me. I feel so bad right now. "Matt…no you are DEAD! Now I have moved on and just no I can't handle this not now! I don't want to get sick it will happen easier now. I mean I love you always have and in a way I always will. I can't help but wonder why this has to happen today of all days to me of all people. I mean I'm 12 weeks pregnant with another man's twins, have a son already with this same man, and I just now have become used to the idea that you were dead even though I have been with James Jamison for the past six wonderful years."
"Rachel listen I don't expect you to give up the new life you have made since I have been MIA. Just take a couple of days to catch up with me and at least let me get to know Cam. Abby has not stopped talking about her and a girl named Caitlin the entire way from where we escaped the Circle of Cavan base in Bosnia through Langley and all the way here." Matt said.
"Matt, please just tell me did you ever try to escape before Abby got captured or did they capture you and end up with you giving up? I can not answer for Cameron whether or not she wants to get involved with you." I replied.
"Yes I had tried to escape but I was unsuccessful. Cameron what do you say?" he replied.
[Caitlin POV]
"Dad I want to but I also just got over the fact that you were dead. Please I have stuff to do tonight just come with me and see what you have missed. Now mom I'm sorry but I need to go into town to do what I need to do. Caity I'm sorry I have to do this during your birthday dinner but this is the only time the chance is available. I swear to make it up to you tomorrow but this is important and a once in a life time opportunity." Cammie said standing up to leave the office.
"I understand Cam next week is a town week and by then one of my friends will be settled into his new house. If you could some how bring me to see him when they get here tomorrow we will be even." I replied.
"Caity can we speak to you in the hall sweetie?" my mom asked for her and my dad who had been talking through the entire scene between my Aunt and her family. "Sure what is it about?" I asked when we began making our way to the hall.
"Your father tells me that he thinks we should try being together and I agree. It has been almost thirteen years and our careers are as good as they are going to get. What do you think?" my mom asked.
"I think if you both really want this than you should definitely give it a shot. But if it doesn't work out don't make me get in the middle and choose sides." I said with my full support.
"We will not put you in the middle Caity but I will tell you when certain things are close to happening since we are picking up where we left off when he broke up with me right when I found out I was pregnant for you." my mom replied.
"Where exactly was that?" I asked.
"I was this close to proposing and I still want to but we agreed to wait for at least one month before that happens." my dad said holding his fingers about an inch apart.
(Scene Change)
[Rachel POV]
"Matt, James can you both please just leave now so I can think? Andy go with daddy so that mommy can make herself feel better. Give me an hour and I should know what I plan to do. Either way I love you James and Matt in a way I still love you but don't know how I can completely when you show up after eight years. How hard did you try? Just tell me that." I asked as I sent both the men I love out the door.
"On a scale of one to ten, honestly…eight. I am the one that always tried to make them not go after Cam but I was unsuccessful." Matt replied turning around and walking out the door.
[James POV]
I just sat out in the hall and waited for Rachel to come out and tell me she is over what we have had for the past six years and tell me that she knows I will be upset and she chooses to get back with her husband. He is sitting here next to me and making me feel very angry.
"Hey James, thanks for looking after my wife while I was away. If I had known for a fact that she had moved on I would have stayed away and let her continue her life. If she chooses to be with you still I will make sure any divorce papers are finalized as soon as humanly possible so you can get married before your twins are born. If she chooses me I will make one hundred percent sure you can see all three of your kids as much as you want to." Matt said joining me in the hall.
"Well thank you for that. I am confident that her heart will point her to where she truly belongs." I say as he sits down.
~Time Skip~
[Rachel POV]
It has been three hours but I have made up my mind. I guess its time to let the men and Cammie know who I pick. But now Cammie is gone and is not talking to me so I guess I will let her dad tell her the choice tomorrow when he sees her.
"Matt, James please come back in here now. I have made my mind up. Matt I am so sorry but knowing you did not try as hard as I know you could have to come home to me and our daughter, but James and I have been happy and if Cammie had not been so stubborn she would have known all of this a lot sooner. Part of me does still love you but another bigger part loves James even more." I said beginning to tear up.
"Rach, I told you when I first got back that I would respect your decision and I do. I will do anything you want me to do so that you can stay as happy as I have seen you all day when you look at our dear Director." Matt said being the understanding man I fell in love with.
