Chapter 5

The Best For Us

Marge read the note that was inside the tiny envelope.

"Hello Marge. It is me, Homer. I just want to say that I have been living a good life in a place that I cannot tell you where it is. I am now married to Mindy Simmons. I just want to say, while I do love Mindy, I still love you more than I ever will love Mindy. Just know that. I hope you are living a happy life as well. Maybe with Ned, if you decided to marry him or not. Maybe I'll visit you someday. You'll just have to wait and see.

Sincerely, Homer."

Marge was happy that he was alive, and wasn't bothered by the fact that Mindy was his new wife. It was her fault after all.

Marge had got a job at Krusty Burger, which paid, but not very much, but just enough to provide more for her family. As Marge got ready to go to work, she noticed a knock at the door. She opened it, and it was none other than Moe.

"Hey, Midge, I was wondering, uh, if you wanted to go out on a date tonight."

"What do I have to lose?"

A few hours later after Marge was finished with work, she got ready and went out the door with Moe. At dinner, Moe kept talking about his bar, and Marge was not interested at all, and just went home. At lot of people asked her out day by day since she was basically single, but she just kept rejecting them. Nobody interested her the way Homer did.

Marge made dinner for the kids. They sat down and ate. Marge was still depressed. Lisa had told Marge to stop worrying about Homer being gone, but she didn't care.

"Hey, Mom, why don't you marry Ned? It would make him happier and me and him get along well. I mean, yeah, he did agree to have an affair with you, which is not usually how he acts, but still! This could be the start of a new family!," Bart suggested.

"You just don't get it, do you? You would be depressed if someone you cared for deeply left you," Marge said.

"Well, I don't have anyone that cares for me except you and Lisa, and even then, I still wouldn't be sad if you two were gone," Bart said.

"Bart! Would you care if your wife married a new man, almost like Homer?," Marge said angrily.

"Wait, what are you talking about?," Lisa asked.

Marge had not told the kids about Homer's new wife, Mindy. She was worried it would effect the kids, but then she realized they didn't care at all.

"Well, your father married someone new. He divorced me and married Mindy Simmons. He told me in this letter he sent me." Marge explained.

Bart and Lisa were not surprised and just kept eating. Marge looked sad and went back to her room.

She kept tossing and turning thinking about Ned. Whether she should start a new life with him, and also thinking about Maggie and where she was as she had not appeared in this chapter. Marge then woke up the next morning and finally made her decision. For herself and the kids to be happy, she decided to marry Ned.
