THREE YEARS LATER
Gomez & Family returned home. Little Edward was a 4 at that time and he was a little devil. Like father like son and Gomez couldn't be prouder of him, all those time at Salem worth it. His marriage with Ophelia was better than in the previous years, they respected each other and although he would never love her he assumed that he had to be with her. On the first days he was in Salem thought a lot about Morticia, he even though about writing her a letter but then he reminded himself she was with another man and the only thing that letter could do would be incommode her.
As he was approaching to his old house his heart was falling into pieces and Morticia returned to his mind but not as a love interest but as a lovely memory. Reminding those days trying to teach her while looking each other in the eyes, that smiles she gave to him… But it was no use crying over spilt milk.
The gate opened by itself as usual and when he knocked at the door Lurch opened and Gomez hugged him, then he saw Mama greeting them and he was overjoyed. That couldn't be a warmest welcome and he realized that was true: There was no place like home.
Morticia couldn't sleep that night. Since he knew Gomez was returning she was so nervous and worried. She still hated him but she was afraid of what will his returning cause. She had responsibilities now, she couldn't run away like she would had done if he had asked her. No, now she has a husband to take care and a beautiful baby girl who was all for her. Annie was almost a year old and both Morticia and Tim were so proud of them. She had changed a lot since Gomez left, her usually black dresses were now blue and yellow, she changed her holidays in the swamps for a holidays in the lake, and the time she used to spend playing with her cobra was now used to go to barbecues , she was a housekeeper even though she passed the exam 'cause she decided to give all her time to Tim as a devoted wife should did. She was the kind of girl she would had hated years before. Immersed in her thoughts she didn't notice the phone was ringing so Tim picked it up.
Tim: Honey, It was Ophelia, your sister, she has just invited us for dinner.
Morticia, worried: And what did you say?
Tim: Of course I said yes, it will be nice to reunite with time after those years. Don't you think? So get yourself pretty and call a babysitter for Annie. Gotta work, see you later honey.
Morticia felt ruined, the only thing she wanted was to cry, so she did. After she realized she meant nothing to him, so she would pretended she cared less. She felt strong enough to face up to wathever would happen that night.
