Epilogue
It had been almost three years since Madison had last spoken to Billy. She had been doing extremely well for herself since she moved back. She now lived in a cute little three bedroom house that was just down the street from her fathers so he was close by. Both Dan and Michelle had helped out when she first moved in but she was fortunately able to pay them back. She decided to follow her fathers foot steps and become a real estate agent. The course for real estate only took a short amount of time so her father took care of her bills until then.
All in all she was doing well for herself. Caleb was now in the second grade and was doing well. He had a routine that when the school bus dropped him off after school he would go to her fathers with Mark and have an afternoon snack. Then he would do his homework and come home for dinner.
Tanya had been keeping her up to date on what was going on with Billy and everyone for the first little while but the phone calls had slowed down considerably and then stopped completely. The last time she had tried Tanya's phone it was disconnected so she had no idea what was going on. She was upset about it because Tanya was her best friend. She had made a few more friends since moving but they were no where as close as she had been with Tanya. But she couldn't dwell on it for too because she had so much going on at home.
Officer Walsh had called her at her fathers house about a week after leaving and told her the court date for Denny's trial. She went with Dan accompanying her for support with Michelle staying home with Caleb and Mark. It was declared that Denny needed to be in an institute because at that point he was more of a threat to himself than anyone else. Madison agreed that was the best course to take and told them that if he got the help he needed that she wouldn't press charges. After a lot of thinking and conversations with the psychiatrist she had agreed to let Denny see Caleb. The psychiatrist thought that it would be good for Denny's recovery which leads her to the present.
Madison was currently waiting for Caleb to come downstairs so they could go visit Denny. He ran down the stairs and put his shoes on as Madison searched for her car keys. She was finally able to get herself a new car when she had sold her first house. She had gotten herself a cute little red sunfire.
"Hurry up mom." Caleb called out. He was now standing outside next to the car.
"I'm coming. I just had to call your grandfather and tell him that we would be by to pick up Ally when were done." Madison walked out the door locking it and got in the car and the two made their way to the hospital where Denny was being held.
They had been going regularly for a while now and she was happy Caleb had gotten to know his father. Denny was also happy to be able to be with his son. They both have fun together and Madison couldn't be happier about that. The only thing that would make this a better situation for her was if Billy had been by her side. But she wasn't going to think about that now. She had her life and he had his life.
Pulling up into the parking lot of the hospital Caleb had jumped out before she had her seatbelt off. She had to run to catch up with him and grabbed his hand as they walked inside. The nurse behind the main desk smiled at them. She had been working there since Madison and Caleb first started going so she had recognized them.
They made their way down the long white hallway to Denny's room. Making it to his room Madison knocked lightly on it. Hearing a reply she opened the door and let Caleb walk in before going in herself. Denny was sitting in a chair by the window writing in a notebook. He looked to see who was there and smiled brightly seeing Caleb and Madison.
"Hey buddy." He said as Caleb ran over to him and gave him a tight hug. "Hey Maddy."
"Hey." Madison sat on the edge of his bed. She smiled at the sight of Caleb sitting on Denny's lap. He was explaining with some exaggeration about what happened the day before in school.
"I also made this. Ms. Greene said to draw something and give it to someone we love so I drew this for you." Caleb jumped down from Denny's lap and went to his bag he had brought with him. He hauled out a folded piece of paper and handed it to Denny. Denny unfolded the paper and stared at the contents.
"See that's you. And that's me and I want a puppy but mommy says no right now but I drew him in anyways." Caleb said pointing out each subject on the paper.
"I said we'll see. He's been on about wanting a dog for the last little while." Madison said.
Denny smiled at the picture of him and Caleb standing there holding hands with a small dog next to them.
"What about your mom. Why isn't she in the picture?"
"Cause I see her everyday. And I don't see you everyday and I don't even have a puppy." Caleb said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"So how's Ally." Denny asked. Madison smiled at the mention of her.
"She's good. Really good. She's at that age where she tries to talk but you can't understand what she's saying. It's too adorable." She said.
Denny nodded his head. He had a lot of time to think things over and still felt guilty for what he had done but he believed he was getting better and he felt good knowing that Madison trusted him enough to let him spend time with Caleb. Even though he still had feelings for Madison he would rather have her as a friend then not have her at all.
"So my doctor said next weekend I can go out and play for the weekend." Denny smiled. "I was thinking maybe we could do something." He was talking to Caleb more than anything.
"Sure if Caleb wants to do something." Madison said looking down at Caleb.
"Yeah! We could go to the park and play catch." Caleb was starting to get excited.
"Sure buddy. You can bring Ally with you if you want. I haven't seen her in a while." Denny replied.
"Okay. That could be arranged." Madison looked down at her watch. "We better get going. I have to get Ally from my fathers."
"Yeah I understand." Denny said getting up to his feet. "So I'll see you soon okay."
"Okay daddy." Denny leaned down to hug Caleb tightly. "I love you buddy."
"Love you too Dad."
Denny stood up straight after hugging Caleb and smiled weakly at Madison. He was still guilty for what he had done even though Madison had forgiven him. Madison let out a smile of her own and leaned forward for a hug. Denny wrapped his arms and squeezed her tightly. He let out a content sigh, life was too short for him to dwell on regrets. All he could do was move forward. When Madison pulled back she gave him a small peck on the cheek.
"So we'll see you soon." Denny nodded at her and watched her leave the room holding Caleb's hand.
Madison had made it to her fathers house and he had informed her he and Michelle were taking Mark to McDonald's for lunch and said they would like to take her, Caleb and Ally. Madison decline the invitation saying that she had a few loads of laundry that had to be done, but said that Caleb and Ally could go. Dan said he would drop them off when they finished.
Madison let out a loud sigh and she put the last load of laundry in the washing machine that was in the basement. Making her way upstairs she walked into her living room and collapsed on the couch and turned the television on. She turned the channel on to a random old movie that was playing. She was not halfway through the movie when there was a loud banging on her front door. Confused she stood up to go to the door. She didn't know who that could be. Her dad would have just walked in.
Before she reached the door she glanced out the window to see if she could see who was there. Pulling the curtain back to see out the window she froze when she saw the back mustang parked on the side of the street. She slowly walked to her front door and stood silently behind it. She desperately wanted to open it but at the same time knew that if Billy was really behind it she didn't know what she was going to say.
She put her hand on the doorknob and started to turn when he continued to bang on the door. Taking a deep breath she opened the door and looked up at the face that had been in her dreams since the day she left him at the bar. She looked up at him and if she was honest with herself, she thought he looked horrible. His eyes were red, puffy and glazed over. He must have been drinking before he came over. She opened her mouth to speak but couldn't get anything out.
Billy stared down at her also not knowing what to say. He had always regretted the way they left things and wished that they could go back and do it all over. He would have made sure that she had stayed with him. But he was too proud to beg her to stay. She looked just as good as when she left if not more beautiful. He thought to himself. He took a cautious step forward hoping she wouldn't back away from him. He took another step forward when she stood still. He raised a hand and gently caressed her cheek.
She watched him seeing the intense look on his face. She had never seen him look like this before. She wondered what had happened to make him this way. She unintentionally tilted her head into his hand when he touched her cheek. She didn't realize what was happening until he had crashed his lips to her. She had clung to him and wondered what had caused the desperation that she felt from the kiss. As gently as she could she pushed him back making them break apart.
"What are you doing here?" She asked softly. She back up stepped to the side letting him in. She shut the door and turned to look at him but saw his gaze fixed on a picture on the wall. She swallowed nervously when she saw it was a picture of Caleb and Ally.
"Who is that." He asked his voice hoarse as if he hadn't spoken in a while.
"Ally. My daughter."
"Your daughter." He stated more than questioned. He looked at the smiling child in the picture. She had curly blond hair and bright blue-green eyes. But he could see she had Madison's nose and mouth. He knew from glancing at her eyes.
"Is she...?"
"Yes." Madison said looking down. "She's yours. I found out I was pregnant about a month after I left."
"And you never bother to fuckin tell me." Billy turned to glare at her.
"I wanted to. But I knew if I went back then I wouldn't be able to leave again and I know that's not a good excuse but at the time I didn't know what to do. I'm sorry."
"I have a kid. I have a little girl." Billy said more to himself in disbelief.
"She knows about you. I told her that you couldn't be around because you had to keep your neighborhood safe. She thinks her dad is a super hero." Madison said sheepishly.
Billy chuckled softly at that. At least he seemed like a super hero to someone. He wanted to be more angry with her for not going to him when she found out about her pregnancy, but he just couldn't find it in him. He was tired, tired of his life. He wished to God that he could leave his life in Boston and settle down here with Madison, but he had too much unfinished business to take care of.
"So how's everyone? I lost contact with Tanya a while ago so I don't know what's going on with everyone."
Billy stayed quiet not really knowing what to say. So much had happened since she left and he didn't know how much she knew from when she last talked to Tanya. Madison held her breath at Billy's silence. There was obviously something that he didn't want to tell her.
"Tell me." She said firmly.
"Baggy and Tanya split up about six months ago. Gabby's in school living in a dorm. The boys are fine." Billy told her. She felt like he was leaving something out.
"Baggy and Tanya split? God if they couldn't make it who could." Madison laughed unhumorously. "So where is Tanya now? Why couldn't I get a hold of her?"
"I don't know. Baggy said she had her number changed. As far as I know she's still living in the same place, but I haven't seen her around."
"So Gabby and Joe, they're still together right?" Madison said hoping at least one of the couples had made it.
"No." Was all Billy said. He looked down trying to collect himself.
"No? What you mean what happened?" Madison wondered why he looked so upset. Surely if they had broken up it shouldn't have upset him. "Billy?"
"Joe's dead." Billy let out a long sigh and sat down on her couch putting his head in his hands.
"What?" Madison whispered. "Dead?"
She sat down next to him and stared blankly ahead of her. She could hear the soft sounds coming from the television that was on low but it didn't register in her head. Joe was dead. She repeated it over and over in her head but she couldn't believe it. She looked over at Billy, she wanted to ask if he was okay but that would have just been a stupid question since he just told her his little brother was dead.
"How? What happened?" She couldn't stop the tears that started to form.
Billy let out a breath and leaned back. He started digging through his pants pocket and took out his pack of cigarettes. He hauled one out and threw the pack on the side table next to the couch. He lit the cigarette and took a long drag letting the smoke go through him.
"Some rich fucker stuck him."
"Stuck him?" She wasn't entirely sure she knew what he was saying.
"Stuck him, killed him, murdered him. What more definitions do you fuckin want." Billy snapped.
"I'm sorry." Madison said not knowing what to say. She had gotten close to Joe while she lived with them. He was the first man that wasn't related to her that Caleb had really opened up to. And he had treated Caleb like he was his own little brother. Caleb could really remember everything that had happened then but when she asked him he said he remembered bits and pieces of that time.
Madison scooted over closer to him and wrapped her arm around his shoulders. She felt a little awkward because his shoulders were so broad. She pressed her lips against his clothed shoulder and felt him shaking but he wasn't crying.
"We set Joe up for an initiation. He killed a kid in a gas station, got caught, then hit by a car." Billy said almost nonchalantly.
"Hit by a car?" Madison was in disbelief.
"Went to trial, got out scot free, then the kids dad found him and killed him." Billy sneered the last part out not hearing what she said.
Madison didn't know what to say. Everything was suddenly happening so fast. First Billy randomly shows up on her doorstep, now he's saying that Joe is dead. A sudden though ran through her head.
"Gabby. How's Gabby taking it?"
"A mess. Stopped talking to her sister. She's immersing herself in school work to drown the world out." He had gotten to know Gabby more since she started seeing Joe and liked what she was doing for him. He kind of saw her as a little sister that he never had. She was crushed when he told her Joe was dead. She didn't say anything to him, just left the room. He hadn't seen her since.
Madison couldn't help the tears that poured over. She felt helpless, she knew Billy was hurting but was afraid to show it.
"It's okay to be sad." She said hesitantly.
"I'm not fucking sad okay. I'm pissed. I'm pissed off that I left him there that night, that I wasn't there to keep him safe, and I'm pissed off at the motherfucker who buried him. I swear to you on my brothers grave I'm going to kill this motherfucker." Billy stood up yelling. Madison winced at his tone.
Billy went over to look at another picture on the wall. It was the from Ally's first birthday. He stared at the little girl that seemed to be a perfect combination of Madison and himself. What would he have done if Madison had stayed? Part of him was relieved that she took the pressure off of him being a father but a bigger part of him wished he had known about her.
Madison watched him look at the picture lost in thought. She walked over behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist resting her head against his back.
"I'm going to kill him." Billy murmured.
"I know." Madison mumbled against his back. "Just promise me you'll be careful."
Billy turned around so he was facing her. Gently placing his hands on her cheeks he brought his lips down to caress hers. She opened her mouth to allow his tongue access and she brought her hands down his chest to his waist where she ran her hands up his bare chest bring his shirt with them. She knew she shouldn't be doing this because her father could be back with her kids any time now but she couldn't let the chance of being with him one last time go.
Billy ran his hands down her neck and arms to wrap tightly around her waist. He ran his hands up her shirt caressing her back causing her to shiver. He pulled back from her and pulled her shirt up. She lifted her arms helping him remove the article of clothing. Once her shirt was on the floor Billy ran his hands down her back across her bottom to the back of her thighs. Gripping them hard he lifted her up forcing her to wrap her legs around his waist. She winced at the tight grip thinking that his hands were going to leave a mark but she didn't say anything.
"Room." He mumbled against her neck. She shivered at his goatee tickling her skin.
"Upstairs, second on the right." She said and held tightly onto his neck as he made his way to her room.
Once the made it to her room Billy dropped her to her feet. He walked over to the bed and sat down. Madison bit her lip and walked over to him. She rested her hands on his shoulders. He gripped her hips and he leaned forward to place soft kisses against her stomach. He brought his hands up her back and unhooked her bra. She stepped back letting it fall to the floor. Billy took a moment to gaze at her looking her up and down. She stood there feeling a little nervous. It had been a long time since she had let a guy look at her the way Billy was at that moment.
When Billy's gaze reached her face he grabbed her hand and pulled her down to straddle him. She leaned down to kiss him. While she was kissing him Billy's hands wandered down to her jeans and unsnapped the top button. His lips traveled from her lips down her chin to her throat. She then brought her hands down to his pants but before she could do anything he stopped her. She looked at him in confusion.
Without a word Billy grabbed her so he could stand. Once standing in front of her he pulled her jeans down the rest of the way and picked her up to lay her on the bed. She crawled backwards to the head of the bed and Billy followed her and sat up looking down at her. He grabbed both of her hands and pulled her up to him and gently kissed her lips.
"I love you." He murmured.
"What?" Madison froze and stared at him. She had heard what he said, she just couldn't believe it.
"I said I love you. I think I have since I first saw you." Billy kissed her again to stop her from saying anything.
Billy entwined both of their hands together and leaned over her their hands on the pillow besides her head. He leaned his head down to kiss her neck. She tilted her head back into the pillows giving him more access. He let go of her hands and trailed his down her body exploring every curve and crevice remembering what it had felt like being with her. All he had since she left were one night stands with faceless women and none of them made him feel like the way Madison made him feel. If this was the last time he would be a woman then he would die a happy man.
Madison sighed in content. She never thought this would be happening. She never would have thought she would ever see Billy again let alone be making love to him again. She loved the feel of his calloused hands on her body. She felt his hands slide down to her waist and slip into the sides of her panties. She arched her body up helping him take them off.
Billy sat up and pulled her panties off flicking them to the side of the room, then continued to remove his pants. Madison smirked at him remembering he sometimes like to go commando. He leaned down to slowly capture her lips again. She let out a moan as he settled himself against her. He lifted her legs and she got the point and wrapped them around his waist. She held her breath as she felt him slowly begin to enter her. She squeezed her eyes shut while trying to get used to him again. Once he was fully inside of her she let out her breath.
Billy closed his eyes and tried to suppress the moan that was fighting its way up his throat. It had been too long since he had felt this content. Slowly he pulled himself out and then thrust in again. He looked down at her seeing her eyes closed, head tilted back.
"Open your eyes." He managed to grunt out.
Madison opened her eyes looking up at him. He had a strange expression on his face. Like her was trying to memorize everything in his head as he thrust into her. She arched her back meeting him thrust for thrust.
Billy grabbed her leg and lifted it higher trying to get as deep as he could. Madison gasp feeling him go deeper, even after all the times they had been together she didn't remember it feeling like this. Like it was the last time they would ever be together. It broke her heart thinking this may be it for them. She hoped in the back of her mind that after this was all over he was going to tell her that he was going to stay with her, that they would be together forever. But she didn't believe in fairy tales no matter how much she wished they were true.
It wasn't much longer that neither she could hold on and she climaxed. Billy releasing into her just a few seconds after. Billy collapsed on top of her crushing her but still remain inside her. She didn't mind so much, she like the pressure of him on top of her so she put her arms around him preventing him from moving. It wasn't long after she felt him slip out of her and lay next to her. He pressed a kiss to her shoulder and wrapped his arms tightly around him.
"I love you too." She whispered tiredly. She remember looking out the window seeing that it was still light out when she closed her eyes and succumbed to sleep.
About a half hour to forty five minutes had passed when she felt Billy getting out of the bed. She kept her eyes closed making him think she was asleep. She didn't want to open her eyes in fear that she would break down and plead for him to stay. But she knew no matter what she said he wouldn't stay with her. He had too much to take care of back home. Especially now that Joe had been killed. He wouldn't be able to stay with her until he got Joe the justice he deserved. Madison knew it was wrong but it was right in Billy's mind. Revenge just lead to more revenge.
Billy hauled his pants on and remembered that his shirt was somewhere downstairs. He looked down at Madison and wished things were different. He knew that this was probably the last time he would ever see her so he stared at her as if coping her image permanently in his mind. He knew this Nick Hume guy meant business when he killed Joe so he knew only one of them would come out alive when they finally meet. He ran a hand over Madison's head and leaned down to place a lingering kiss on her forehead. He wished Caleb was there so he could see him. He had grown a lot since he had last seen him.
And Ally. God he had a little girl. He wanted to meet her but remembered that Madison had told her he was like some super hero. He knew that he wouldn't live up to be the man Madison was making him out to be to her and he wasn't about to disappoint her. He made his way downstairs and spotted a picture of the three of them in a frame hung on the wall. He took it down and took the picture out. He was sure Madison wouldn't mind.
After putting the picture in his pocket her put his shirt and jacket on. He took one look around and the comfy house before walking out the door. He was happy she had made a good living for herself and her kids. It was more than what he would have been able to give her.
Leaving the house making sure to lock the door behind him he took out a cigarette and lit it up. Getting into his car and starting the ignition he glanced quickly at the house before hauling out from the side of the street just in time to see a van full of people pull up in Madison's driveway. He looked in the backseat of the van seeing a little girl in car seat next to a little boy who he recognized as Caleb. The little girl looked out at him with a curious expression but looked forward again when someone spoke to her. She was the little girl from the pictures so he knew that she was his daughter. He would remember the look she gave him for the rest of his life.
Taking a long drag from his cigarette he pressed down on the gas pedal and sped down the street screeching his tires.
Madison watched from her window holding the sheet wrapped around her as Billy drove away. She saw her fathers van pull up at the same time and she knew that Billy had seen Ally. Wiping her face from the few tears that had fallen she dropped the sheet and put on a pair of pajama pants that she had gotten for Christmas from Caleb and a black tank top. She made her way downstairs just as her Dad opened the front door with his spare key. Caleb ran in and went straight to the living room. Madison looked down at her watch.
"He's just in time for his evening tv lineup." Madison chuckled.
"Yeah he wanted to get home as soon as possible. Your door was locked?" Dan asked.
"Yeah well I got a little tired so I locked it and went upstairs for a nap."
"Mommy." Dan turned around to see Michelle walk up the steps with Ally in her arms. Ally smiled widely when she saw Madison and reached out to her.
"Hey baby girl." Madison lift Ally into her arms and hugged her close, placing a kiss on her cheek.
"Did you have a good time at McDonald's?"
"Yeah!" Ally yawned and rested her head on Madison's shoulder.
"She wore herself out in the play house. Who was that man in that black car?" Dan asked.
"That," Madison hesitated. "That was an old friend."
Dan looked at her with a raised eyebrow before nodding his head. He leaned over and kissed both Madison and Ally on the forehead. He shouted out to Caleb a goodbye before walking back to the van.
"So was that the infamous Billy?" Michelle asked smirking at her in a way no mother should.
"Yeah that was him. But I don't think I'll be seeing him again." Madison said sadly. She knew that she was never going to see him again. At least they had left on a good note rather than how they left things before.
"Don't worry honey. Your going to find someone eventually. Someone who's going to love you, Caleb and Ally more than anything in the world." Michelle said trying to make her feel better.
They said good bye to each other and Michelle left saying she would see Madison tomorrow. Ally started wiggling to get down so Madison let her down and followed her into the living room where Caleb was lying on the floor watching television.
"You have all your homework done?"
Caleb turned to look at her and nodded his head. "Yeah I finished it before we went to McDonald's."
Madison smiled at him and leaned back. Ally waddled her way over to her and attempted to climb up on the couch. Madison laughed and leaned over to help her up. Ally laid down in Madison's lap and snuggled into her. Madison absently ran a hand through her blond hair and watched tv.
Letting out a small yawn she spotted an empty picture frame hanging on the wall. Staring at the empty frame she smiled knowing Billy had taken it. At least now she was certain he would have something of the little family they had created with him at all times. Looking down at Ally who had fallen asleep she smile knowing that he had something of hers to remind him of the times they had and that she would always have something of his that would stay with her forever.
Again thank you!! In case you didn't know this part took place the middle of the movie when Billy found out that Joe died. So tell me what you think! And I have another story in the works that will be up very shortly so keep a look out for that!! Thanks again and again and again and again!! Okay I'll stop now lol
