Ch. 14 Breaking Through

Two days after Peter's disastrous return to New York, Erin was sitting at the table when she got the letter. It started out as uneventful afternoon. Gabriel and I just got home when we gave her the mail. She looked at it for a few seconds before she opened it. She must have reread it through many times. She got up and ran upstairs.

"What is it" I asked. Gabriel got up off his seat and picked up the letter from the ground.

"There papers saying that there legal separated" Gabriel said.

"What" I said panicked. This could not be happening.
"Look there's a letter" Gabriel said. He read it out loud.

Erin-

I didn't want to give you these without giving you an explanation. What I learned from this is that I can't be with someone that isn't comfortable telling me the truth. Maybe this can be fixed, maybe not. I want you to know that I still love you and I will be there for our baby. I thought about this long and hard and I think this is the only way that we can still remain on good terms with one another. I was worried about giving you this because I didn't want you to be angry with me. Me asking for a legal separation have nothing to do with me falling out of love with you. I am still as much in love with you as I was the day I married you. I was so hurt when I found out that you kept this from me. I can't seem to shake it. Maybe along the way we can work with getting back together. I have thought about you every day since I have been in California. I am done fighting with you and I hope eventually you can forgive me for what I'm asking for. I'm not angry with you; I just want you to feel like you can trust me with the truth. I love you.

Always,

Peter.

I reread the letter several times. I didn't know he felt this way. I had no idea that the problems between my best friends were this serious. I understood why Peter was doing this. I agreed with him full heartedly. I didn't blame him one bit. Erin's attitude had brought this on herself. I felt pity for her. I know how much she loved Peter. Was there any chance for them making up and for moving past keeping secrets from Peter.

One of my biggest joys in life for was helping Micah out with school work. He was not a lot to do anything after school until he was done with homework. He had a 4.0 and was top of his class. He was a junior in High School. One day after school he came to me and told me some new that I wasn't expecting.

"Mom" He said nervously.

"What is it" I asked.

"My principal sent you a letter home" He said. He gave me the pure white envelope. I looked at him curious. I opened the letter and read it.

"Oh Micah this is great news" I said happily.

"He said I can be ready for college by next fall if I pass these test" Micah said simply.

"Do you want to do it" I asked.

"I'm not sure." He said.

"Want to think about it, you still have a while" I told him.

"What do you think I should do" Micah asked.

"I want you to have the best possible future, but if it's a decision you won't be happy with then don't do it" I said.

"Thanks mom" He said. I was proud of him. I was suddenly sad. I didn't want the day to come where he would go to college but I knew the day had to come. I didn't expect it to come so soon. It would be one less person in the house. I thought of Noah. He would miss Micah, and the new baby would barely know him. This was bittersweet news in rough times. I wasn't sure if I wanted him to go, but I know that whatever decision he made, I had to support him.

It seemed like Gabriel was even more overprotective of me then when I was pregnant the first time. It was impossible to move around the house with him. I wasn't even showing yet and already I felt bigger that a bus. I thought he couldn't be even more over protective, I was so wrong. It all started when I went to work. I got my usually cab but something was different. I noticed right off that there was someone following us. It was then that I got a phone call.

"Gabby, where are you" My husband asked not saying hello.

"I'm in a cab" I said.

"Tell the driver to drop you off at a gas station then go immediately into the station" He said.

"Why" I asked.

"The company got a letter today, I'll explain when I get there" He said. I did as he instructed and went in the gas station.

"What happened" I asked.

"Someone wrote the company and said they were going to kill you" He said panicking.

"Do they know who it was" I asked.

"No, we have to get you out of here" He said.
"How" I asked. He looked at me.

"Absolutely not" I said knowing what he was thinking.

"It is the only way I know you'll be safe" He said. I saw no alternative.

"Fine, but you can only do this once" I said sighing. He knew how much I hated heights. We flew up into the air, I closed my eyes. We were in the sky for 10 minutes when Gabriel told me to open them.

"Were at the Company, Frank wanted to talk to you" Gabriel said.

"Frank what's going on" I asked.

"We got a letter this morning saying that if you don't step down from the company you were going to be killed" Frank said.

"Can I see the letter" I asked. He hands me the letter and I begin to read it. The person that wrote it must have got all the letters out from different magazine.

"This doesn't show us anything" I said.

"We'll look into it, but for now be very careful" Frank said.
"How there was a car following me for blocks" I said.
"I'll have agents around your house to protect you and bring to work and back" Frank said.

"Why does this have to happen now" Gabriel said frustrated.

"What do you mean" I said looking at him.

"I have to go out of town this weekend for a mission" Gabriel told me.

"You tell me this now, why" I snapped angry that I just found out about this information. He knew I hated when he went out of town.

"It's only for the weekend" Gabriel said. Frank looked uncomfortable.

"I think I'll leave you two now, let me know when you want to leave Gabby" Frank said. I told him thanks but glared intensely at my husband. He knew I was mad.

"You don't really have to have a party for us" Elle said.

"Don't start" I warned. It was Elle and Erin's 28 birthday party. Of course being that Erin and I were both pregnant we couldn't celebrate the way we usually did. It was a small dinner with just Erin, Gabriel, Elle, their mom, and me and the kids. We were having barbeque. We were having it early because Gabriel was leaving in the morning.

"So how does it feel to be old" I said.

"Says the one that like 3 centuries old" Erin retorted.

"You old mommy" Noah asked.

"Yes my darling" I said picking him up and kissing his cheek.

"Yep Gabby is a cradle robber" Gabriel smirked. Erin and Elle laughed. I looked at him shocked. Was he asking to sleep on a coach?

"What's a cradle robber" Noah asked innocently.

"Nothing, it means that daddy's in trouble" I said glaring at my so called husband. The hamburgers were done when we had a surprise visitor.

"UNCLE PETE" Noah squalled happily.

"It's good to see you Pete" I said kissing him on the cheek.
"I'm glad you came" Erin said smiling.

"You called him" I asked surprised, Erin nodded in response.
"I wouldn't miss your birthday" Peter said firmly. Peter sat down and we started eating. We updated him on what was happening. It felt so good to have everyone back together again. I didn't know when the next time would be.

Next Chapter: Jade tries to find out who threaten her sister, but finds herself in danger. Gabby and Erin talk about what is happening with her and Peter. Mohinder starts at a new job. Micah makes a decision on his future.
