Samantha's POV...
Dad doesn't remember me. Great. He remembers my four lovely children but not me. I'm his first child, I should be the one's that remembered. Alright that sounded a little harsh but it's true. I love my dad and mom but when one of them doesn't remember me I'm kind of mad. I've already called Cameron. Foreman can't come because of Thirteen. I'm tired, cranky, and haven't seen my kids in awhile. The twins will soon be a year and then I'm going to have fun. My baby is starting pre-school this year. I'm so proud. It's scary how proud I am. I'm hoping that daddy will wake up and remember me. But it's just hope. Not he will. Oh well. He'll remember me soon enough. I can hear my kids. Jen must be bringing them up. I saw Preston come running towards me. Followed by Isabella.
" Mommy". They yelled from the other end of the hall. I smiled. Then the attack happened. I love my kids I really do but they like to attack. My mom walked out.
" Sweetie, he's awake". She said. I told the kids to go hang out with Aunt Jenny while mommy goes talk to papa. They ran back over to Jen. I walked into the room. I looked like crap by the way his face looked at me.
" Who are you"? He asked. I felt tears coming on.
" Samantha Elizabeth Anne Marie Cuddy-Matthews, you're daughter. I have four kids and I'm going to be twenty this year. I have several younger siblings. Rachel, Audri, Paige, Josh, Ben, and Reese. My four kids names are, Preston, Isabella, Sophia, and Jessica. I'm married to Brad Matthews. And I'm a pre-med student at Princeton".
" I can't remember you".
" I used to have blonde hair. I was thirteen when you found out I was your daughter. I was fifteen when I had Preston. I dated a guy named Joey. I was married to a guy named Travis. He's dead. Joey cheated on me and was abusive. I'm moving to D.C". I said hoping the D.C. comment would wake him up. I still hadn't told my mom about the job opportunity for Brad. I saw several expressions cross my dad's face. One of them looked like he knew who I was.
" You're transferring to Georgetown in the fall. Your husband got a job at the University's hospital". He said. I smiled.
" Yeah. Um...my favorite place is Chicago. I've been to Paris".
" You have several piercings and tattoo's. Your GPA is 4.0. While you were pregnant and now. Manages to keep a job down".
" Yeah. When's my birthdate and year"?
" November 10th 1995".
" Very good. My son's birthday"?
" December 25th 2010".
" My daughter Isabella"?
" February 14th 2012".
" My daughter's Jessica and Sophia"?
" June 27th 2014".
" Very good. You know all my children's birthdays". He remembered. He remembered that one thing that I knew he needed to know. The fact I hadn't told my mom about D.C. was bad. But I will. We already kind of found a house that would fit all of us. It would be perfect. Moving out of state was going to kill my mom, but she has to deal with it. I love her I really do but it's my life. It's good for the kids and I.
" Honey, can I talk to outside for a sec"? My mom asked.
" Sure". I said. We walked out the doors.
" You're moving to D.C."!?? She shrieked.
" Yeah. Brad got offered a better internship down there. I'm sorry mom. But the dean offered it as a one time deal and Brad took it. I know it's going to be hard, but it's not like I'm moving to Seattle".
" Samantha Elizabeth, you're leaving New Jersey. You swore you never would".
" Mom, things are different. I've got the kids and Brad. I'm sorry if I'm hurting you but it's my choice my like".
" I forbid you to leave".
" Forbid me"? I questioned.
" Yes forbid".
" I'm not a child. I'm a nineteen year old with four kids and a husband who's moving to D.C. and there's nothing you can do to stop me".
" You're leaving everyone behind"!
" I'm leaving everyone behind!? I'm doing what's best for my family mother".
" You are. You're running away it seems like. I haven't been able to get a good conversation out of you since Christmas. At Isabella's birthday party you wouldn't even talk to me. What's going on"?
" Brad cheated on me". I said.
" What"?
" We've been in counseling for the past few months. When he got offered the job he took it, thinking we could start over. His ex-girlfriend came back into town, and one thing lead to another, and he's sleeping in a hotel room while I cry myself to sleep".
" Oh honey".
" Mom, I'm fine. We're leaving in July".
" Samantha".
" Mom, it is what's best for us".
" Sweetie, I didn't know".
" I didn't want to tell anyone. It's my business no one elses. I got to go. Dad remembers me, great. But I have other things".
" Honey".
" Mom I'm fine". I said trying to reassure I was. I was mad but thankful that Brad told me flat out and didn't keep it a secret from me. He told me and I was mad at first but relieved that he told me. I'm going to be a lot happier in D.C. Lets just pray nothing else happens.
