Chapter 17 Father and Son
Stiles looked at Thomas. "Hi."
"Hi." he reached out his hand, Stiles was getting a little emotional. He had a son? He put his arms around him and hugged him.
Terri looked at them and got upset, she just turned and walked into the kitchen. She knew how excited Stiles was about having a child, she couldn't believe he had a son that was almost an adult. Julia saw the look on Terri's face and followed her into the kitchen. "Terri? Are you ok?"
"Just a little surprised that's all."
"Can I help you with something?"
"No thank you." Terri said as she tried to keep her composure.
"I just didn't know how to tell him about Thomas. I'm sorry if this is going to be a problem for the two of you."
"No this won't be a problem for us." Terri resented that comment. It made it sound as if this was going to break them up. Terri touched her stomach and remembered that she had a part of him growing inside of her. Stiles was in love with her. The fact that he had a son from his high school sweetheart wasn't going to change that.
**************************************************************************
Stiles looked at his son. "I can't believe this."
"Mom told me that she never told you about me. That's why you weren't around. I used to be mad at you, but you didn't know."
"I still wish I could have been there. Tell me about yourself."
"I love sports. My grandfather told me that I should definitely give some time to the military, keep up the family tradition. I've been accepted to Annapolis. I think that's why Mom took the job in DC, to be close to where I'll be."
"Wow. I'm proud of you going to Annapolis. That's great."
They continued to talk about what Thomas likes. After a while Terri walked out and told them dinner was ready. Stiles walked over and kissed Terri on the cheek. "You two weren't actually introduced." He took her hand and led her to Thomas. "This is my fiancé Terri."
"It's nice to meet you Terri."
"Same here Thomas." Terri couldn't help smiling he looked so much like Stiles.
Stiles put his hand on her stomach. "And this is your baby brother or sister."
"Wow. That's great, you two are going to have a baby. When?"
Terri laughed he was almost as excited about this as Stiles. "The end of June." she told him with a smile.
"That's great. Congratulations." He hugged his father and future step mother.
Julia forced a smile. "You didn't tell me you two were going to have a baby. Congratulations." she too gave them each a hug. She was quickly realizing she had no chance.
"Thank you." Stiles said.
They all sat down to dinner. Part way through Thomas asked. "I'm not sure what I call you."
Stiles looked at him. "What would you feel comfortable with?"
"I don't know. I would like to call you Dad."
Stiles smiled. "I would like that too." Julia looked at her son and smiled. As they were talking Stiles asked him. "Hey Thomas, do you think you could get some time off of school in March."
"I think so. Why?"
"Well that's when Terri and I are getting married. The wedding is in Ireland."
"That's cool. I've never been there."
"St. Patrick's Day. We're getting married in the same church my grandparents got married in."
"Really?" Stiles nodded. "That's nice I like that idea."
"My granddad, your great granddad is really excited about the wedding. I can't wait to call and tell him about you."
Julia had hoped that Stiles would at least put his plans on hold to get to know his son, but he had no intention of doing that. He did plan on getting to know his son, he did want his son to be a part of his and Terri's lives. Julia had mixed feeling about that.
After dinner Terri got up to do the dishes. Thomas stood up and got some of the plates and helped her. "Thank you Thomas, but you don't have to help."
"I want to. Shouldn't you be laying down taking it easy."
Terri laughed. "You sound like your father. I'll tell you the same thing I tell him all the time. I'm pregnant not sick." Thomas smiled. He really liked Terri. "Seriously, why don't you got talk to your father. I know how excited he is to know about you."
"We talked a lot already. I don't know what else I can tell him about me. Dad doesn't really seem talk too much about himself. Can you tell me about him?"
Terri smiled, he was right it took a long time to find out about him, but talking about Stiles was one of her favorite things. As they got cleaned up she told him all she knew about his father. Thomas also asked about her.
**************************************************************************
Stiles looked at Julia. "Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why the hell didn't you tell me I had a son?"
"Would it have made a difference?"
"Yes. I would have been there for him. I wouldn't have missed 17 years of his life."
"Stiles you had too much on your mind to be a father."
"Oh so you just decided for me that I shouldn't know him. Julia that's not fair. I can't believe you never once called me and told me. Is that why you stopped taking my calls and returned my letters?" she nodded. "You know I ran away and went to California to find you, they told me your Dad got stationed in Europe somewhere."
"Thomas was the reason he took the assignment and moved us there. Him and your father talked about it."
"My father knew."
"Your father didn't believe that you were the father. That's when my Dad packed us up and moved on. He told me that Frederick talked to you and you denied ever sleeping with me." She started to cry as she told Stiles that, She was hurt for a lot of years that was the main reason she never called and told him. She thought he knew and wanted nothing to do with his son, or her.
Stiles walked over and put his arms around her, "I'm sorry I didn't know."
Terri and Thomas walked out at that moment with desert. Terri just looked at them and was hurt. Stiles saw Terri as she turned and went back into the kitchen. "Excuse me. I need to talk to Terri." He left Julia still crying as he went after Terri. "Thomas take care of your mother. We'll be right back out."
Stiles walked in and Terri was sitting in the chair with her head down, trying not to cry. He got down on his knees in front of her. "Terri, its not what you think. She got upset because she thought I knew she was pregnant and told my father it wasn't mine. My Dad lied to her father."
"Do you regret you didn't have a chance with her?"
"This really isn't about her and me. This is about me and my son. Terri I wouldn't trade a day in my life for what we have right here right now. I love you. Let's look at this seriously, Terri do you think you could have really had a future with the guy you were madly in love with in high school." Terri just laughed as she thought about it. No she really couldn't. "See that's the thing. I know we would have broken up eventually, even with Thomas. I just want to know my son."
"He's a great kid. Do you know he is on the basketball team at school?"
"Yeah he told me. He has a game tomorrow night."
"Can we go see it?" Stiles smiled at her and nodded. He put his arms around her and kissed her. He was so glad that Terri was going to be ok with this.
They walked back out Stiles had his arm around Terri. Julia had stopped crying, at first when he walked away she was upset that he just left her crying to take care of Terri. While Stiles and Terri were in the kitchen Thomas was telling his mother about how wonderful Terri was. Julia looked at her son and realized that at least Terri wouldn't stop Thomas and Stiles from being close. She knew that when she was gone that he would have his father and a step mother that liked him. In the end she knew that was the important thing. Thomas would need them both.
Over the next month or so Thomas spent a lot of time with Stiles and Terri. Stiles absolutely adored his son. Terri quickly fell in love with him, he was just like Stiles she couldn't believe how much alike the two were. Thomas could easily understand why his father was in love with Terri, she was great. Julia tried to keep her distance, she wanted her son to have a family. She knew it wouldn't be too much longer. She did get a little jealous listening to her son talking about this other woman.
Stiles woke up first on Valentine's Day morning. He smiled as he watched Terri sleeping. He didn't want to wake her up, but he had to look at his book. Terri was almost 5 months pregnant and was beginning to show. Stiles read that the baby was about 5 inches and weighed 5 ounces. He was amazed that in just four months this little one would be ready to be born.
Terri woke up and smiled at him. Stiles pulled her close to him and kissed her. "I was going to make you breakfast in bed this morning. Any preferences?"
"Not really. I want you to stay right here."
"I've got a busy day planned for us."
"Me too, but I think we can stay right here for what I have planned." Stiles couldn't help smiling at her.
"I've got that in my plans too, after breakfast." Terri smiled as Stiles got up and put on his robe.
