I don't own the characters or the show or the song (Marcy Playground does). Never have never will.
Chapter 5
"What's wrong hon?" Irene asks while putting her arm around Molly's shoulder. Ned and Clu were acting like typical males in this situation, pretending nothing is going on. She shakes her head to either say nothing was wrong or no she didn't want to talk about it, Irene didn't know which it was. Molly wanted to tell her so badly, after all Irene was one of her closes friends, but she couldn't. Plus now wasn't the time for that, Molly wished that time would never arrive.
"I'm fine it's just been one of those days." Molly says while pulling away from Irene's hold.
"Do you want to talk about it?" The word yes was screaming to get out but she holds it in and just shakes her head left to right.
"No it's ok, I think I'll go take a walk." Irene just smiles knowing perfectly any offer to join her will be shot down. Molly pulls a tissue out of the box and whips the tears away. She doesn't bother to clean herself up anymore, the way she was feeling she deserved to look like crap on the outside as well. Picking up an umbrella just in case the dark clouds decide to do anything, she leaves the bus. She can hear a stereo playing from a room through an open window; it's Annie's room. Molly stands there and listens even though she has never been a fan of the genre of music the blond headed girl listens to. But must teens and adults don't agree on music styles.
Come back and be
Come back for free
Come back and stay child
Have you gone
crazy
Molly, it must be fine
It seems so dreamy to be sublime
Molly has gone to
Spain
Has gone to Venus to watch the rain
And it seems that's
not the place where you belong
And it seems that's not the place where you belong
When there's no
sun and there's no moon
And there's no stars child
Have you gone
crazy
Molly it must be fine
It seems so
dreamy to be sublime
And Molly the whipporwhill
Has gone to space boy, she is there still
When there's no
sun and there's no moon
And there's no child have you gone crazy
Molly snickers to herself while thinking no Molly isn't fine, Molly has gone crazy. No child huh? Now that would real nice, Doctor Jaylor could have been wrong. No blood test or anything was taken; all this emotional work up could be for nothing. She knew he was right, just a mother's feeling and she really hated that feeling it wished it would just disappear. Without a specific location in mind Molly just starts walking lost inside of her mind to notice the people and buildings around her. She can't help but to think back to that day three months and 6 days ago. What if she hadn't given Carey a ride home? Or had dropped him off to begin with and not of been an ass leaving him stranded? Molly had no idea what had possessed her to even do that, usually her character and soul is much gentler. Maybe it was an unseen fate from above that helped lead the two of them together that night. Why couldn't fate be like it is in the movies? Their eyes meet, they kiss, marry and live happily ever after. No children giving you the silent treatment, no sneaking around because you're to scared to do anything because the wrong person could walk in.
Molly sits down on a bench and looks out at the empty playground, that in daylight must likely filled with dozens of kids and parents gossiping. Jack and Fi used to love the park before computers and video games it was their favorite thing to do. Fi was more into the swings always wanting to go higher and higher. The slide was more of Jack's activity, he could go down a thousand times and never once tire from it. I wonder what piece of equipment this one will like? Molly jumps up in shock from the thought that had just escaped her mind. That was the first time since finding out she really referenced it has an actual child.
A child to hold, a child to love, a child to adore. Suddenly she was seeing the good end of the situation. Molly liked kids, she liked being a mother. The question now is Carey ready to be a dad? I have to tell him. That wasn't the first time she had thought that. Maybe later, tomorrow, or a few days after. Molly knew dragging this out too long would do more harm then good, after all he has a right to know. But Molly felt her right to have everything stay pretty decent with everyone was more important in the long run. Silent treatment from one person was hard enough; coming from two others would be hell. Irene and Ned could take Carey away, as if he was still a child. As a parent Molly knew even if your kid is 2, 13, or 33 he's always your child to protect from the world.
"So are you happy little one?" Molly asks to her still relatively flat stomach. The absolutely worse thing about having a baby is the weight you gain and never can back down.
"I must tell you, you have cased me more trouble and difficultly then your sister and brother combined and your not even born yet! I don't want to imagine what kind of stunts you'll be playing in a few years." Molly says with a gentle laugh. She couldn't believe how all these words were just flowing out of her coming straight from her heart. Maybe this isn't quite the nightmare of a situation she's acting it to be. That fate from above could be working its hand over them again. Just she'd wish it had asked her for her permission before ding so. But that's not how fate works.
