Hi I´m sorry again and again that it took so long. (and to Maartje I´m waiting for your next chapter hah!!!)

A Second Chance?!



The next morning at Tony´s house, Tc and Tony were already having breakfast when Cory came, with Julia in her arms, in the kitchen.

"Goodmorning guys," said Cory while she gave Julia to TC, got a cup of coffee and sat down at the table with the others.

"So what are we doing today?" Cory asked TC and Tony.

"Well in a few minutes I have to go to Chris and get the report and then I have to go to the station," Tony answered.

"I thought you have the day off?" TC asked.

"I thought so too but I have so much paperwork to do that can´t wait so I´ll probably spend the whole day at the station."

"Okay Cory, what do we wanna do then?" TC asked Cory.

"I don´t know maybe we can go shopping?" Cory asked smiling.

"Oh no everything but not that," TC said.

"Daddy to the playgrond," Julia said while eating some cereals.

"You wanna go to the playground?" TC asked her.

Julia nodded.

"What do you think Cory, should we go to the playground with her?" TC asked Cory.

"How about you two go to the playground and I go shopping by myself huh?" Cory asked and took a sip from her coffee.

"Fine with me. Julia do you think we can go without mommy?" TC asked his daughter as he stroke her brown hair.

"Yep," she said happy.

"Okay than I take the rental car. You don´t need a car, right?" Cory asked TC.

"No we go to the playground which is only one block away from here." TC replied.

"Alright but we still have a problem I only have one key, I lost the others and didn´t have the time to make new ones. I don´t need him as far as somebody is home around seven pm." Tony said holding the housekey in the air.

"I think TC should take it. If I should be home before TC and Jules, I can go to them and get the key."

"Okay then TC gets the key. Here ya go," said Tony and threw the key to TC.

"Okay then let´s get ready!" said TC, picked up Julia and went into the guestroom.

A few minutes later everybody was ready to go, Cory drove to a mall which Tony recommended her, TC and Julia went to the playground and Tony went over to Chris.



At Chris´ house the doorbell rang:

"I´m coming!" Chris called and went to the door.

"Mommy I need help," shouted Kate in vain, who was trying to get her shoes on.

"Just a second honey, I´ll be right there to help you." Chris said and opened the door.

"Hey Tony!"

"Hey Chris. Hey you three," Tony said and greeted Chris and the triplets.

"The report is in the livingroom, I´ll get it ," said Chris and walked in the direction of the livingroom.

"Okay I wait here," Tony said and looked strangely at Kate who was fighting very hard to get into her shoes. "Kate what are you doing?" Tony asked and bend down to Kate.

"She´s tryin´to get shoes on," answered Brian, who was already dressed,for Kate.

"Oh you want me to help you?" Tony asked her.

Kate nodded.

At that moment Chris came back with the report in her hand and gave it to Tony, "Here it is!"

"Mommy can Brian and me go otside?" Lucy asked. She was also completely dressed and didn´t want to wait any longer.

"Only if you two stay in the yard and don´t go on the street or you are in bit trouble.

"Okay," said both and ran into the yard.

"Where are you going?" asked Tony and took the report from Chris.

"We´re going to the playground."

"To the playground . . . aha . . . " Tony said while he thought about it, if he should tell her that Julia and TC are there too, but he quikly decided against it. Maybe that way they are going to talk.

Tony was lost in his thoughts till Chris called his name "Tony . . . Tony . . . !"

"Huh?" Tony asked surprised.

"Wow about whom did you just think about?" Chris asked laughing.

"Nobody I just thought that . . . I really need to go to the station right now."

"Okay then let´s go. Katie come on we´re going," Chris said and gave Tony a puzzled look.

Then Chris and the kids went to the playground and Tony drove to the station.



When Chris and the triplets arrived at the playground the kids immediately ran to the slide, the swing . . . Chris looked around her and saw an empty bench so she walked to the bench and sat down. A few minutes later somebody behind Chris touched her shoulder that´s why she immediately turned around and saw TC and Julia standing behind her.

"Wow TC you scared me," said Chris still shocked.

"Sorry didn´t mean to scare you," said TC laughing and put Julia on the ground, who ran to the triplets.

"What are you doing here and where is Cory?" asked Chris nosy.

"Julia and I didn´t want to go shopping with Cory so we decided that Cory goes shopping alone and me and Jules go to the playground," TC informed Chris.

After about 30 minutes of talking about how beautiful the weather is and everything else, Chris face turned a bit more serious. She looked at TC and asked him, "So the test came back with your name on it huh?"

She was referring to the bloodtest Cory made while she was pregnant to find out who Julia´s father was.

"Yes it did," TC said and looked down at his feet. He just couldn´t look at her, he felt guilty. But why? She left him. And she has kids from somebody alse too. He just couldn´t stop feeling guilty even if it wasn´t his fault or maybe was it?

After a long pause, "Have you ever thought that our lives would turn out like this?" , TC asked while he thought about his life where he and Chris were a happy couple, better said before this whole mess started.

"No never. TC I´m . . ." Chris said but was cut of by Brian.

"Mommy I´m tisty," Brian said.

Chris opened the backpack and got a bottle with juice out and handed it to Brian.

"Here honey."

"Danks mommy," with that Brian ran back to his sisters.

"So what did you wanna say?" asked TC

"Oh never mind."

For a little while they looked at the kids, then TC asked, "So are you married?"

"Huh?" Chris looked at him surprised and at the same time confused.

"Well you have kids from somebody, so you maybe married to their father?"

"I wish," Chris mumbled under her breath.

"What?" TC looked at her waiting for an answer.

"Nothing, look TC . . . " Chris started but was cut of by TC .

"It´s okay if you don´t want to tell me, actually it´s none of my business."

"Right, but no . I´m not married," said Chris looking into TC´s eyes.

*Oh god, maybe now is a good time to tell him?* Chris thought but at that moment a raindrop fell into her face. She looked up in the sky .

The sky was gray and it looked like it´s going to rain cats and dogs within seconds, so she said, "I think we should get going it looks like it´s gonna rain every minute."

TC nodded and both TC and Chris started to collect the toys from the kids, they got the kids and started to walk home. At that moment it started to rain, really hard.

TC had Julia and Brian in his arms and Chris had her two girls. TC and Chris ran as fast as they could, when they reached Chris´ house, TC gave Brian to Chris, said goodbye and went with Julia to Tony´s house.

When he wanted to unlock the door he realized that the key wasn´t there anymore, what now . . .



To be continued . . .

I hope the next chapter won´t take me so long.
