Chapter 3

CONNIE'S P.O.V

It took me a good hour after leaving Charlie's apartment, to book up courage to get as far as the front porch of my parents house, I no longer classed this as my house, due to the fact that the last time I was here, I was told I wasn't welcome anymore. I finally managed to knock on the door, though it was far from a loud knock. I was secretly hoping they either wouldn't hear or they weren't in. What was I kidding, it was a Saturday, they were always in on a Saturday. The door suddenly swung open.

"Hi mom". I stuttered

"What do you want"? She asked sharpishly, but dragged me in, out of the neighbours view.

"I want to talk to you". I said in a quiet voice.

"I have nothing to say to you". She snapped in retaliation.

"Then just listen". I told her, as my dad walked in.

"Connie"? He looked shocked to say the very least, a look I had seen 14 times in 2 days.

"Hi dad". I whispered.

"What are you doing here"? He asked, sitting down opposite me and next to my mom.

"I want to talk to you". I told them, not being able to look directly at them.

"Can you hurry this up, we are going out soon". My mom told me matter of factly.

"Here". I pushed a photo of me and Rachel just after she was born, across the coffee table. "I thought you'd like to know you have a granddaughter".

"Not particularly". My mom pushed the photo back.

"How can you say that, she's your flesh and blood". I argued.

"She's a bastard". My mom snapped back, my dad remaining silent, as usual.

"You know, I love you both more than you'll ever know, I thought the feeling should be reciprocated, it must have skipped a generation though. How would you have felt, if when you were pregnant with me, how would you have felt to know that your parents, the people you love most in the world didn't want anything to do with you or your baby. Oh, I'm sorry, you have no idea because it never happened to you". Tears poured down my cheeks. "You know, I actually wanted to have an abortion, because I was making 2 of the most important people to me so unhappy, but I couldn't. There isn't a day that goes by that I regret that decision, Rach is THE most important person in my life, and you both should understand that".

"Oh I might have known, you'd call it after one of the characters on a bloody show you watch". My mom answered, choosing to ignore everything I had just said.

"No, actually, you might not have realized, but that is Gran's middle name. She isn't an it, she is a living person, one who doesn't understand anything about what's happening yet, but one whose going to miss out on meeting her Grandparents, just because you're ashamed to admit that your only daughter got pregnant out of marriage". I snapped equally as harsh. "Yeah I admit, everything might have been that little bit easier if I had been older, or married, or someone to help me out, but I'm doing just fine on my own. Just think back to when you saw me for the very first time, think how you'd have felt if either one of you had to raise your baby alone, then maybe you'll understand exactly where I'm coming from. Do what you like with the picture, if you want to get hold of me, I'll be at Charlie's for a few days until I go back home". I stood up, and walked out.

When I got outside, I headed straight for the park, tears spilling more and more rapidly. I found a pretty secluded spot in one corner of the park. I sat down on one of the picnic benches, I rested my face in my hands and cried openly. I was past the point of caring whether or not people were staring.

"Connie"? I heard a voice ask from my side. "Con"?

"Yeah". I said as I wiped the tears away viciously.

"Let me guess, you've been to see your parents"?

"10 out of 10 for observation". I laughed gently.

"It didn't go well then"?

"Horrible wouldn't be a strong enough word. They must really hate me". I broke down crying again, then felt 2 arms wrap around me.

"Shush, shush, it'll be ok".

"No, Guy, it won't ever be ok. I'm raising my baby on my own, my parents hate me and want nothing to do with me". I cried even more then.

"You'll never be on your own. I'm here, the ducks will help, we still fly together you know". He chuckled gently trying to make me smile, it only made me cry even more, mainly out of guilt.

After a while I calmed down enough, for him to take me back to Charlie's. When I got just outside the apartment door, I turned and gave Guy a huge hug, before saying a weak thank you. We walked through the door, to find all the ducks there, trying to help Charlie calm the screaming Rachel down. I had to laugh if nothing else, I went and took her, and she quickly calmed down, they all looked at me astonished.

"Let's just call it a mother's touch". I said as I went to put her down for a nap.

GUY'S P.O.V

"Is there something going on between you two already"? Luis asked with a sly grin on his face.

"No, I found her crying in the park". I sat down and tugged my rollerblades off my feet.

"Crying"? Julie asked.

"She's been over to her parents this morning". Charlie told them with a worried look on his face.

"Did she say anything"? Adam asked me.

"Only that her parents must really hate her, that it would never be ok and she was raising Rach on her own".

"How can your own flesh and blood be so horrid". Julie said slowly.

"They've always been a little 'do things properly', they hated the fact she played hockey, they are more bothered about looking good to their friends". Charlie said a slight hint of hate in his voice.

"I always thought her dad was pretty decent though". I said receiving a chorus of me too's. Just as silence appeared, there was a knock at the door. Charlie got up and answered it.

"What do you want"? He asked.

"Is Connie here"? I recognised the voice immediately.

"She might be". He snarled back.

"Yeah she is". I stood up, trying to calm the situation.

CONNIE'S P.O.V

I just put Rachel down for a nap, I sat their watching her, she took all the pain away. No matter what she did when she grew up, I would never disown her, like my own parents. Eventually climbing to my feet, I made my way back out to my friends. I hadn't taken 2 steps out of the little corridor, when I saw a figure stood behind Guy and Charlie, Charlie looked anything but happy, obviously Guy had told them what had happened in the park, everyone else was looking at me for my reaction.

"Dad". I said, standing completely still, folding my arms.

"Can we talk"? He asked gently.

"I said everything I needed to say". I made it just as hard for him as it had been for me.

"Please Connie". He asked again.

"Charlie". I looked at my friend who still had a grimace plastered on his face.

"Yeah".

"Would you mind keeping an eye on Rach for me again. I'll be no longer than half an hour". I grabbed my jacket, heading for the door, following my dad. "She probably won't stir". I told Charlie as I passed him and Guy. Guy reached over a little and gave my hand a squeeze. I smiled at him, feeling a hint of guilt, but putting it to the back of my mind until later.

I walked by my dads side, remaining silent the whole way, he guided me into a local café, in fact it was the same one he used to bring me to when I was younger. We sat down in our old booth and awaited the waitress to appear, the whole time, not a single word was spoken between us. The waitress quickly appeared and took our orders than disappeared as quickly as she had appeared.

"Was there a particular reason for you bringing me here, or are we just going to sit in silence". I was too angry for messing around.

"She's beautiful". He put the photo I had left with him on the table. "Just like her mom".

"She's even more beautiful now, but you wouldn't know that would you".

"Connie, I know there won't be a thing I can say to make up for the past 15 months. I wish I had been there for you, but you have to see it from mine and your mom's point of view. Think how you'd feel if your daughter came home from being at college less than 2 months to tell you, she was pregnant".

"Yeah, I'd be disappointed in her, but I would NEVER disown her. All I ever wanted was for you to say, it would be ok, that you loved me just the same. I was so scared, knowing that the only people I had, that cared were Gran and Gramps". A stray tear poured down my cheek, as I hid my face from the waitress as she gave us our drinks.

"I want to start being her Grand-dad, Connie".

"What about mom"? I asked sceptically.

"She'll come around". He reached across the table for my hand. "Tell me about my grand daughter". He smiled.

"What do you want to know"? I asked, not really knowing what I should tell him.

"What's her birthday"?

"May 14th".

"Her full name"?

"It's Rachel after Gran, Ann after Julie, Germaine after her dad". I told him.

"Rachel Ann Germaine". He repeated. "I see Guy's the father then".

"Yeah". I answered.

"Does he know"?

No". I replied.

We finished our drinks, as I told him about Rachel, then he told me he wanted me to come over for dinner on Monday with Rachel. Upon seeing my hesitation, he offered me the option of bringing a friend to make me feel more comfortable. I agreed, telling him I would let him know by either popping by his office or calling. I left feeling a whole lot better than I had earlier.

So what do you think? PLEASE R&R!!!!!
