Chapter 10: The Weekend and Rising Questions

It is a Friday afternoon as the Yocum sisters are ready to spend the weekend with the parent they rarely get to spend time with. "This will be different spending time with the parent we rarely get to see". Sam said to Abby.

Abby nods to Sam. "Yeah, I am going to show mom where I have been taking boxing, and I also have a boxing match on Saturday". Abby said to Sam.

Sam nods to Abby. "Well, since I am about to get my driver's license on my 16th birthday. I might as well learn everything about cars and how to take care of them. Plus I am planning to give dad a private performance from my recitals that he has missed over the years". Sam said to Abby.

Abby nods to Sam. "I am sure he will love it. Plus he has taught me everything about cars. It will be good for you to learn". Abby said to Sam.

Sam nods to Abby. "Yeah, I even packed old clothes that can get dirty". Sam said to Abby. Abby nods to Sam as the others walk towards them.

Callum, Ryan, Luke and Elliot walk towards them. "Looks like the two of you have plans for the weekend". Ryan said to them.

Sam nods to Ryan. "Yeah Abby and I are switching home life for the weekend for our Home Ec assignment". Sam said to Ryan.

Ryan nods to them. "That sounds interesting, Dr. Taylor and I are going to visit my parents and my siblings grave site. It may sound a bit somber, but they should know that I am alright". Ryan said to them.

Elliot looks at them. "I am going to sleep in till noon and play my ukulele". Elliot said to them.

Luke looks at Elliot. "Is that what you normally do in class, Elliot"? Luke asks Elliot. Elliot grins at Luke. "Yeah well I will doing that at home, and I wouldn't get into trouble for it". Elliot said to Luke.

Luke shrugs as he looks at them. "Well, my brother and I are going to help on my uncle's farm. It is hard work, and it beats waiting for my mom to be home working at the hospital". Luke said to them.

Elliot nods as he looks at Callum and Quincy. "So what are you two doing for the weekend"? Elliot asks Callum and Quincy.

Callum looks at Elliot as Quincy is in deep thought. "Earth to Quincy come in Quincy", Elliot said to Quincy.

Quincy snaps out from her deep thought. "Yeah", Quincy said to them. Callum looks at Quincy. "We are talking about our weekend plans". Callum said to Quincy.

Quincy looks at them. "Well, I will probably be at home doing something I guess". Quincy said to them.

Callum looks at Quincy as he gets the feeling that she has something on her mind. "I will be working on my bicycle and going a bike ride at the park". Callum said to them.

Abby looks at them as she smiles to them. "Sounds like each of us will be doing something fun". Abby said to them. The group nods to Abby as they parted ways.

Abby has Sam getting in her car as she drops her off at their dad's house. "I will talk to you later or if we have some crime fighting to do". Sam said to Abby. Abby nods to Sam. "Yeah", Abby said to Sam.

Sam looks at the quaint house as she gets out from the car. "Bye Abby", Sam said to Abby. Abby nods to Sam as she drives away to their mom's house.

Sam walk towards the front door. David sees Sam holding her weekend bag. "Come on in Sam", David said to Sam. Sam nods to David.

Sam walks in the house as it is some what clean. "This is not what I was expecting". Sam said to David. David looks at Sam. "Yeah well, Abby and I try to keep up with the house work". David said to Sam.

Sam nods as she notices a picture of her on a shelf in the living room. It was a picture of her and Abby when they were little. "I didn't know you had that picture, dad". Sam said to David.

David nods to Sam as he looks at it. "I wanted it to be there to remind me that I do have two daughters instead of one". David said to Sam. Sam nods to David. "Did Abby have any objections to that"? Sam asks David. David nods to Sam. "Not really, she told me it does not really matter to her". David said to Sam.

Sam nods to David. "So am I sleeping in Abby's room during the weekend or what"? Sam asks David. David looks at Sam. "Actually, there is an empty room for you with an air mattress in case one day you ever wanted to see me". David said to Sam.

Sam looks at her father as she is surprised by it. "Really", Sam said to David. David nods to Sam. "Yeah follow me", David said to Sam. David shows Sam the bedroom on the first floor. Sam looks in the bed room and notices the wrapped birthday presents and Christmas cards. "You still remembered my birthday even after all these years dad". Sam said to David.

David nods to Sam. "I sure did every May 21st; I closed the shop for the day. I thought about you for the entire day. It is usually a hard day for Abby as well". David said to Sam.

Sam nods to David. "I see, anyways dad I was thinking this weekend I could learn things about cars, and Saturday night I have something planned just for you". Sam said to David.

David nods to Sam. "That will be nice and since you will be learning to drive soon. I have no reason why not. Plus what's the something you have in mind for me"? David said to Sam.

Sam looks at Dad with a smile on her face. "You have to wait and see dad". Sam said to David. David nods to Sam as he is curious on what she has planned for him.

Abby is in the living room at Sam's house/Abby's old house. Grace arrives home and sees Abby. "Hello Abby", Grace said to Abby. Abby looks at Grace. "Hey mom, Sam and I have a school assignment for Home Ec switching home lives for the weekend". Abby said to Grace.

Grace nods as she looks at Abby. "Sam told me about the assignment, honey. You do remember where your room is right"? Grace asks Abby.

Abby nods to Grace. "Yeah it has not changed much since I was 10". Abby said to Grace. Grace nods to Abby. "I do think about you, Abby. Plus every December 28th, I always thought about you on your birthday". Grace said to Abby.

Abby nods as she looks at Grace. "Mom, why didn't you called dad and me about the number of times that Sam was in the hospital because of the bullying she endured"? Abby asks Grace.

Grace is taken back by the question. "I take it Sam finally told you about it". Grace said to Abby. Abby nods to Grace. "She did tell me mom. Dad and I should have known about it, and maybe got something done to punish the ones responsible". Abby said to Grace.

Grace sighs as she looks at Abby. "I have tried going to go to the school board about it. They say there is no tolerance for bullying, but it still happens anyways". Grace said to Abby.

Abby sighs as she looks at her mom. "Ok, what kind of plans did you have in mind for the weekend"? Abby asks Grace. Grace looks at Abby. "Well, I do not have any plans at the moment. Do you have plans for the weekend"? Grace asks Abby.

Abby nods to her mom. "Well I have a boxing match on Saturday afternoon at 3:00". Abby said to Grace. Grace is surprised by it as her oldest daughter is into boxing. "Wow ok, you are into boxing". Grace said to Abby.

Abby looks at Grace. "Yeah, I got into it when I was 11 years old, and I am trained as well". Abby said to Grace. Grace smiles as learns something brand new about her daughter. "Wow, I never knew that you are into boxing". Grace said to Abby.

Abby nods to Grace. "I train at the Crimson Warriors Gym, and it is where the boxing match is being held tomorrow". Abby said to Grace. Grace looks at Abby as she realizes that Abby is the fighter.

At Quincy's house, Quincy is sitting in the living room. Mildred comes in the house and notices the look on Quincy's face. "Quincy dear, is something on your mind"? Mildred asks Quincy.

Quincy looks at her grandmother. "Yes nana, what can you tell me about my dad, and do I have any other relatives"? Quincy asks Mildred. Mildred looks at Quincy. "You don't have any other relatives besides your father, dear. Why the sudden inquiry of him though"? Mildred asks Quincy.

Quincy looks at Mildred. "I do not know who my dad is, nana. I know you and Papi told me that my mother died due to complications of my birth, but my dad is a complete mystery". Quincy said to Mildred.

Mildred sighs as there is something is keeping from Quincy. "When your mom died, your father, my son was deeply devastated because he was in love with her. They share a love story for the ages. Your father and Henry had a heated argument that night when you were born. Your father and mother were going to raise you together, but your mother died. It felt like he lost his soul mate and left. Henry and I gained custody of you.

About five years later, I got a phone call from your father. He was not in trouble with the law or anything. He wanted to invite me to his college graduation. He got his undergrad degree in history from Stanford. He explained to me that he put his life into studying and worked really hard in three jobs to get his degree. I was proud of him and went to his college graduation.

While I was there, I told him about you and showed him a picture of you. He teared up because you have your mothers eyes.

Flashback

Mildred and Quincy are at a nice restaurant. "You know dear, your daughter is getting big and she will start kindergarten soon". Mildred said to Quincy as she shows him a picture of five year old Quincy.

The man looks at a picture of the five year old girl. He has tears in his eyes as he looks at the color of her eyes. "She has Sarah's eyes. She just reminds me of Sarah". Quincy said to Mildred as he hands the picture back to her

Mildred sighs as Quincy has not gotten over his high school love. "Quincy dear, have you dated anyone since Sarah though? You must have some sort of a social life at Stanford.

Quincy looks at Mildred. "Not really, I did date one girl, but she was not the right one. Plus she dumped because I spent too much time studying". Quincy said to Mildred.

Mildred nods to Quincy. "Quincy dear, you worked really hard to get that degree, and I am proud of you. What's next for you"? Mildred asks Quincy.

Quincy looks at Mildred. "I am going to get my masters and my Ph.D in history. Learning about various warriors always fascinated me". Quincy said to Mildred.

Mildred nods to Quincy. "Yes, you were always pretending to be a different kind of warrior when you were younger". Mildred said to Quincy. Quincy nods to Mildred.

End Flashback

Quincy looks at her nana as she learns somethings about her dad. "Did he get a job after college or something"? Quincy asks Mildred. Mildred nods to Quincy. "Oh yes, he got a job studying artifacts, and he even got his Masters and Ph.D in history. He visited archeological digs all over the world. He mostly traveled with his teacher Dr. Leonard Ravenwood. However the last time I saw your father was four years ago". Mildred said to Quincy.

Quincy looks at Mildred. "What happened nana"? Quincy asked Mildred. Mildred sighs as she remembers it well .

Flashback

Quincy and Mildred were at a nice restaurant in New Orleans. "Quincy, you have looked so grown up. I want to know where your next study is going to take you". Mildred said to Quincy.

Quincy looks at Mildred. "Actually mom, I got a job at a museum in Warrior Heights. I am done traveling the world and ready to settle down. Mom, I want to take responsibility for raising my daughter". Quincy said to Mildred.

Mildred is shocked by it as she noticed the determined look on her face. "What brought this on dear? You never meet her before". Mildred asks Quincy.

Quincy looks at his mom. "I was in Japan about a year ago studying the artifacts there. A colleague of mine, his wife was due to deliver their first child, a baby boy any day. He told me that he is planning to become the kind of dad he didn't have growing up. It hit home with me because I left behind a baby girl after her mom died. I pretty much broke down in front of him, and I told him everything about Sarah and my daughter. He explained to me that I had to get to know the person I created with Sarah. Leaving your child behind is the biggest regret any one can ever make. I made the decision to get a job where I stay in one town and settle down. I put in my notice with Dr. Ravenwood. I called you with the good news". Quincy said to Mildred.

Mildred has a shocked look on her face. "That is wonderful dear, you know you will have to make amends to your father. He does know that you have accomplished a lot of things. He still wants you to get to know your daughter, Quincy Sarah, dear". Mildred said to Quincy.

Quincy nods as he looks at his mom. "You named her after me and Sarah". Quincy said to Mildred. Mildred nods to Quincy. "It made since dear, so when can I expect you back in Warrior Heights"? Mildred asks Quincy.

Quincy looks at Mildred. "Two weeks from tomorrow, I have to return to New York to move out from my apartment. I know you want to know my flight information and here it is". Quincy said to Mildred as he hands her the flight. "My boy is coming home". Mildred said to Quincy. Quincy nods to Mildred. "Yeah", Quincy said to Mildred.

End Flashback

Mildred looks at Quincy as she sighs to her. "Two weeks and a day came and went. Your father never made it to the plane. A police detective came from New York and told us that Quincy was kidnapped. His apartment was trashed beyond the reckoning. It look like savages tore up the place. I could not tell you who took your father, or why he was taken dear. All I know that your father is missing". Mildred said to Quincy.

Quincy has a somber look on her face as she is getting upset. "My dad was going to work at a museum here. Why did someone take him before I truly met him"? Quincy asks Mildred.

Mildred recognizes the teary eyed look Quincy has on her face. "I do not know dear. The police tried to solve his disappearance, but they could not figure it out". Mildred said to Quincy. Quincy nods as she still have many unanswered questions about her father.

During the weekend, Abby took Grace to her boxing match. Although Abby won her matches, Grace looked her over after the match. At the gym, Grace patches Abby up. "Mom, I am fine. Dad says that I show my wounds like a badge of honor". Abby said to Grace.

Grace sighs as she mentioned her ex husband. "Well the doctor and the mother in me wants to patch it up and help you feel better. Speaking of your father, has he gotten remarried or dated since we divorced"? Grace asked Abby.

Abby looks at her mom. "No mom, he has not even came close to be dating again". Abby said to Grace. Grace nods as she learns about it.

That Saturday night at Abby's house, David sits in the living room couch as he hears music playing. Sam comes the room as she gives a dance performance for him from the various ballets she was in over the years.

David has a warm smile on his face. He notices the scar on Sam's arm as he watches her dance. After the performance was over, David looks at Sam. "That was great honey, it felt like I was there seeing the recitals that I missed". David said to Sam.

Sam has a warm smile on her face. "Thanks dad", Sam said to David. David looks at Sam. "Sam, where did you get that scar on your arm"? David asks Sam in a serious tone .

Sam looks at David as she glances at it. "Dad, this is not easy to say to you. I was in the hospital a number of times because of the bullies at school. This is when they broke my arm in three places, and I needed surgery". Sam said to David.

David frowns as he learns about it for the 1st time. "Your mother should have told me, Sam. How long the bullying has been going on"? David asks Sam.

Sam sighs as she looks at him. "About a couple of months after you and Abby moved out", Sam said to David. David has a shocked look on his face. "God, first I missed out on your recitals, and now I learn that you have been bullied. Do you know how to defend yourself"? David asks Sam.

Sam nods to David. "Yes, I have taken up mixed martial arts. I only use it for self defense only". Sam said to David. David sighs as he looks at Sam. "If I have known that you were in the hospital, I would have came and brought Abby with me. Plus if I have known about the bullying, I would have gone to the school board and complained about the situation". David said to Sam.

Sam nods to her dad. "Dad, mom tried going to the school board about it plenty of times. They say that there is a no tolerance rule on bullying, and yet the bullying continues anyways". Sam said to David.

David frowns as he hears it. "Samantha, the next time someone bullies you, I want you to tell me right away understood". David said to Sam. Sam nods to David. "Yes dad", Sam said to David.

David sees that Sam has that you just fussed at me. "Sam, I am not fussing at you. I am dismayed that your mother did not tell me that you were in the hospital, and the school board is not standing behind it's no tolerance on bullying. I am not upset with you". David said to Sam.

Sam nods to David. "Ok dad, I am going to bed". Sam said to David. David nods to Sam as she went off to bed. 'Grace, I do not know why you never told me about the hospital trips Sam had. If I have known, I would have been there for her as well'. David thought to himself.

By Sunday night, Abby and Sam are switched back to their normal house. Abby is driving Sam back home. "Did you have fun with dad"? Abby asks Sam. Sam nods to Abby. "Yeah, he loved the dancing through the years performance. What about you spending time with mom"? Sam asks Abby.

Abby looks at Sam as she shrugs. "It was ok. Mom really enjoyed watching my boxing match. Plus mom told me that she thought about me on my birthday". Abby said to Sam.

Sam nods to Abby. "Yeah, dad told me that he even thought about me on my birthday as well. He even closes the shop for the entire day on May 21st". Sam said to Abby.

Abby nods to Sam as she slowly realizes about their assignment. "You know sis. Even though we live in different houses, our parents thought about us even after all this time". Abby said to Sam.

Sam nods in agreement with Abby. "I agree, dad has that photo of us in the living room. For him, it is a reminder that he has two daughters not just one". Sam said to Abby.

Abby nods at Sam as they arrive at Sam's house. "Yeah, I will see you at school". Abby said to Sam. Sam smiles at Abby. "You too, Abby", Sam said to Abby as they share a hug. Sam got out from the car and walked into the house as Abby drove away.
