Chapter 5
She knew she had to pick. She just didn't know how. Both men loved her. She didn't know who that had happened. She loved both. All she had to do was pick the one she loved the most. But that wasn't the hardest part. The hard part was telling the one she didn't pick.
Michael Vaughn. The father of her children. She loved him. She knew that. But he had left. He left her pregnant and now her wanted everything bad. Could she do that? Could she forget that and pretend that it didn't happen?
Eric Weiss. The man her kids called dad. The man who had stood beside her. Helped her through her pain. Was it possible that she only loved him because he reminded her of Michael.
It didn't matter what she wanted, whether she preferred Eric or Michael. All that mattered was that she chooses the one that would benefit her girls the most. Nothing mattered if the girls didn't like the man she chooses.
But what if she didn't like the man she chooses. Would she always be thinking about what might have happened if she chooses the other man? This was not how she thought life would work out. First it was Mike and her and a big family. Then, when he disappeared it had been Eric and her and a big family.
'Goals change;' she thought suddenly the game that was going on in front of her forgotten for a minute, 'and People change, times change. Had she changed? Yes, being a mother changes even the most stubborn. Had Michael changed as much as she had? Being a father changes thing too. Only Eric had become a father, not Michael. Would he still want her even though she changed or did he just want her body? "No he wasn't shallow." She said aloud. Both the girls looked at her. "We have to leave I know what I need to do."
She pulled up to her house and parked the car. Quietly she lifted the two sleeping girls and walked to the door. Will opened it for her.
"Are they here?"
"Yes. They haven't argued all day. Just seemed to talk about the past years."
"Good, take Ryan will ya?"
"Sure," he lifted the sleeping child and walked with Sydney to drop them in their room. Sydney then walked to the living room where Mike and Eric where watching hockey. Mike looked up and said "I'll leave. I'm living in an apartment. Eric knows where it is." Then he walked out the door. She sat beside Eric and made him look at her.
"I have decided"
