Life had grown hard for Nicholas D. Wolfwood as he painfully lived on
without his loving wife by his side. Everything seemed to remind him of
her: the sun, the wind, their children. Veronica resembles her mother so
much, and Alexander has her cheerfulness. he thought to himself. He loved
his children, but it pained him to be around them because of the close
resemblances to their mother.
And now Veronica is married and is pregnant with her first child. I hope that the baby is growing well. Maybe I should call her...
Wolfwood rushed to the phone and abruptly removed it from the cradle, dialing Veronica's number. He waited for two rings and heard the gentle voice of his daughter on the other end.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Veronica, its dad," said Wolfwood happily.
"Oh my God! I haven't heard from you in a while. How have you been?"
"I've been managing to live, but it's hard for me. I'm sorry that I haven't called in a while. How have you been?"
"Well, Damon and I are preparing for the baby and we are getting more and more anxious by the minute. I remember the day that I told you and mom the news. She was so excited. It's hard to believe that it was seven months ago that she passed on. Only two months along and my mother was murdered. Daddy, it's so hard without her."
"I know darling, believe me, I know. Hey, I was thinking about making a trip to come and visit you. Would you mind?"
"Not at all! You are welcome here anytime, and we have a spare room here so you can stay a few days."
"I don't want to seem like a burden to you, seeing as the baby could come any day now."
"I want you here when your first grandchild is born. Damon wants advice on how to be a father, and I want both of you holding my hand when I'm in labor. I need you here."
"I'll pack my things right away and be there either this evening or early morning."
"I so look forward to seeing you Daddy. I'll inform Damon of your visit and there will be a room for you when you come."
"I'll see you soon. I love you."
"I love you too. Bye Dad." "Bye Veronica. I'll see you soon."
"Get here soon! Bye now." Wolfwood waited for the click at the end of the other line before returning the receiver to its cradle. He then rushed to his room and began to pack his things.
As he rummaged through his closet, he came across Millie's wedding dress, thinking again and finally speaking aloud to the unruly spirit that haunted him.
"I am renewing my ties with my children and am living my life as well as your Millie. I love you and always know that you are not forgotten." With that said, he began piling his clothes into his suitcase and began preparing for the journey ahead of him.
