Chapter 5-
------------------------
What do we live for,
if it is not to make life
less difficult for each
other?
---------------------------
I stood staring at the door thinking for some reason that he would come back, but I should know better considering the last time I hoped he would come back to me he flew half way across the world. I decided he wasn't coming back so dug through my purse for the photos I brought of the boys. I grabbed the three picture, an indivual one of each of the boys, the first one was of Jeremy, at Christmas, with his hair done like his father does his hair, they have the same type of hair. With his blue button up shirt on, hanging out of his baggy blue jeans. I loved this picture of Jeremy. The next of Logan at the park, sand in his curly blonde hair and a huge smile on his face like always in dirty blue jean shorts and a blue t-shirt. Then next of them both at a friends birthday party. I found a pen and scribbeld there names on the back of the photos, and then slipped them into his locker making my way out of the building.
------------------------
Our greatest glory is
not in never failing,
but in rising up
every time we fail.
--------------------------
I walked up to Susan door and knocked. No one answered, I had planned on being later then this, so Susan might have taken the boys to the park like she said she was going to. So I sat down on the steps and enjoyed the warm may day. I was upset that things did not go as planned, but it didn't surprise me that we fought, hell the last month and a half we were togther all we did was fight. How is this any different? I hope he got my pictures. I looked at my watch it was 4:30, I hope that they won't be much longer but I do know the fresh air will be good for both of them. "So this is where your hiding out?" A voice said quietly. I looked up and it was none other then John Carter. "Uh- Hi!" He smiled weakly.
"I'm sorry about early, I guess but I'm pissed off Abby, I think I will be for a long time this isn't something I can just get over. It will take time, but in the mean time I want to meet my kids." I nodded knowing he was right and that I could expect him to accept my apology so quickly. He walked closer to me and pulled out the picture I had stuck in his locker. "So this is them huh?" He asked a small smile forming on his lips.
"Yeah." I said smiling also.
"Their Beautiful." he said his smile getting bigger.
"Yeah they are beautiful" I said leaning in closer to Carter and the pictures.
"How is Logan so blonde?" He asked laughing.
"I don't know! That's what I wonder." I said also laughing. He turned to me and smiled and for once in a long time I felt what I use to feel when I was around him. OUr eyes locked and there we sat staring at each other.
"Mommy!" Logan exclaimed pounding up the stairs, I looked down at his sand covered face and that at Carter who look amused. "Hi Logan!" I said picking him up and putting him on my lap." Jeremy was held by Susan.
"Hi Carter, Jeremy's pretty tired, he didn't nap. You want me to put him upstairs to sleep?" I looked at Carter.
"I'll put him upstairs, when I come in." I said as Susan walked up the stairs with a sleepy Jeremy. "Okay well I'm going to bed." Susan said plopping Jeremy into Carters, lap Carter looked awkward at first and then got a hold of the little boy who curled up into his arms. "Bye, Susan thanks." I said. Carter waved and she shut the door.
"Don't let him go to sleep or else he won't sleep tonight." I instructed.
"But he's so tired." Carter whined.
"Jeremy, Honey, this John." Jeremy looked up and gave a shy smile.
"John! Why did Susan call you Carter?" Logan asked playfully.
"That's my nick name."
"Oh...How do you know my mommy?"
"He asks a lot of questions."
"He's three that's what they do. We're old friends." Not knowing what else to say.
"Oh. Do you have any kids?" I didn't know what to say to that.
"Okay honey lets get you guys upstairs." I said putting Logan on my hip. Carter carried Jeremy, with his head resting on Carters shoulder. "He's a sleep." Carter whispered. I looked at Jeremy, and noticed that he was asleep. "Okay well we can wake him up, and I'll put him to bed early tonight." I didn't want Jeremy sleeping now or I knew the chances of me getting him back to sleep were slim to none. Carter placed Jeremy on the couch, and then looked at me. "Just gently wake him up."
Carter soothingly rubbed Jeremy's back then whispered gently in his ear that it was time to wake up. Jeremy looked up with big brown eyes that were half open. He stared at Carter who stared up then picked up him and walked into the wash room with him. I slowly followed, double checking to make sure Logan was okay playing with his cards.
There Carter was with Jeremy at the sink, and they were splashing water on their faces, Carter telling Jeremy it was the best way to wake up and, Jeremy splashing water or Carter and then laughing goofily. I smiled as Susan walked over to me. "What are you-" I pointed and she smiled with me.
---------------------------
Set me free oh, I pray
Closer to heaven above
and closer to you.
...closer to you...
-----------------------------
"So...That's them." Carter said as we walked outside.
"Yeah that's them." I could see that he was a little more comfortable with everything now then he was earlier. "Well how about you, me and the boys go over to McDonald's and grabbing something to eat. Kids like McDonald's. Right?"
"Uh- yeah they like it...But I'm not sure that's such a good idea Carter." I was now kind of scared of what he would say.
"What why not? It won't be a date, I don't want to go down that road, not now, not with you." I could tell he was angry and defensive.
"Excuse...I can't believe you just said that. I don't think that's a good idea because I think we should ease you into the transition as their father, one hour is fine to start off with."
I was now, angry and so was Carter, he was carelessly kicking his feet at the ground and snarling at me. "You know what Abby, I thought we could work this out between the two of us, but now I'm thinking that may not be possible, maybe court is the right idea."
"Is this what your going to do every time you don't get your way is get your big bad lawyers and sue my ass? Then you know what Carter you go ahead and do that, you wouldn't last a day as single father." We were both screaming at this point and it was taking all my strength not to grab him and strangle him. "Is this punishment, for going off to Africa, because taking my sons away form me for 3 years, is punishment enough, at least in my opinion, but no it's always poor Abby who has to run away, from all her little problems, who has to be the one who gets all the pity when the road gets a little bumpy."
"You know what Carter, you don't deserve to be their father, they're to beautiful and perfect for you."
"Go to hell." With that he jogged across the street and was on his way.

I can please only one

Today is not your day.
Tomorrow isn't looking
good either. -------------------------------
Authors Notex2- Okay so that is the 5th Chapter, I was really bored today and decided to come up with this story, I hope you all have enjoyed what you've read so far...I have put quotes, songs and such at the end and beginning of each chapter and sometimes in the middle, I've tried to make them apply to the Carby relationship, but if you don't think they do just say so, and I'll try to find ones that better apply, because I'm not so sure some of them do. Thanks keep reading! Also the chapter titles kind of suck, so being looking for those to change because they most definitely will, oh and keep your eye out for my other stories, if you like this one you might like them too.
peace out!
