Chapter 11
CONNIE'S P.O.V
The last people in the world I expected to see when I left work that night was my friends. I had talked to Adam a few times since his return to Minnesota and he had told me, that he had told the guys about how he felt about me, which I wasn't too mad about since it proved that there really must be something between us if he was wanting to tell people. I took them home and quickly sorted Kelly and a very reluctant Tyler out and came back to them. There was talk about my return to Minnesota and I offered my apologies many times for my lack of contact over the last 3 years, something I had and always would regret. There seemed to be a little tension coming from Guy and I couldn't quite make out what it was about. I had a feeling that we would be having a chat sooner or later, about what, I had no idea.
"Look, I don't mean to be a party pooper or anything, but I have to get up early to sort the kids out and get to work". I told my friends and immediately they began getting up. "You're more than welcome to stay if you want, I mean there's the sofa, Kelly's got a futon and Tyler's got a bunk bed with a double bed underneath". I offered them.
"Yeah, that would be great". Charlie took me up on my offer before anyone had the chance to protest.
Soon, everyone was sorted and after lending some pj's to Julie and Emma and running next door to get some sweats for the guys from John, we had all settled down in our respective beds for the night. Guy and Emma were having my bed, Charlie and Julie were having the double bed in Tyler's room and after quietly carrying the futon from Kelly's room, I settled down for the night snuggled up next to Adam.
There was a silence between us, but I could tell he wasn't asleep, his usual irregular, shallow breathing he had when he was asleep was not present and his arm lay tense around my waist. I hesitated a few times before finally plucking the courage up to check his sleeping status.
"Adam"? I whispered.
"Umm". He cooed.
"What's wrong"? I turned slightly in his arms to see his eyes closed and his nose twitching gently.
"How'd you mean"? He replied, his eyes remaining closed.
"It's just that you've been quiet all night and I know something is bothering you". I told him sitting up now and staring into the darkness of the room.
"I just, well, I wasn't sure whether you were mad at me for bringing everyone out here". He sat up at the side of me.
"Why would I be mad at you"?
"I don't know, I suppose because I could feel the tension in the air between you all".
"Adam, there was only tension between us, because we haven't seen each other in 3 years, there was bound to be no matter when or where we met. I'm glad you brought them, but most of all, I'm glad you came back". I turned to look at his ocean blue eyes, but quickly realised I could not see them.
"Is that your way of saying you missed me"? He asked and I could tell he had a cheeky grin on his face.
"Yeah, I really did miss you". I told him.
"Well, I really missed you too". He replied and leant forward to kiss me.
"If that kiss was meant to show me how much you missed me, then you didn't miss me that much". I giggled quietly as we parted.
"Really how about this". He kissed me again, this time there was much more heat. After he had finished showing me how much he had missed me, I snuggled further into his arms and fell into a peaceful sleep, only to be awoken by the alarm at 7am.
I let out a groan and slithered out of the bed. I quickly tip-toed into Tyler's room and as quietly as possible, lifted his sleeping body from the bed and carried him next door to Kelly's room where I slowly woke him from his slumber. Leaving him sat at the end of Kelly's bed, I began waking Kelly. I quickly explained why they had to be quiet and checked Kelly was feeling ok, before leaving to get Tyler's clothes from his closet.
I managed to get both kids and myself ready, without waking anyone, even to my surprise I managed to get them out of the house before they woke anyone. I had left a note for Adam telling him to tell the others to help themselves to anything and where the spare key was, as well as where they could get hold of me. Kelly whined all the way to school about not being able to see the ducks, but after I reminded her that she would be able to see them later she shut up and began nagging me about whether I was coming to her hockey practise later that night and if I was bringing the ducks. When I got her to the school entrance, I smiled in relief as she entered and silence appeared.
I had to admit that, all day, all I could think about was the ducks. I think I paid that little attention during the whole day, that my boss gave in and told me I could take the rest of the day off. I was finished just in time to pick the kids up, I realised on my way, how lucky I had been as I hadn't organised with Mrs Hobson whether I needed her or not. After picking Kelly and Tyler up, I barely had enough time to go back home and pick Kelly's hockey gear up and get changed before we had to leave again. Of course on hearing about Kelly's practise, the ducks were only too willing to come along, much to Kelly's pleasure. When Coach Ramsden saw us all walking in, he sauntered over to us.
"Great, here we go again". I whispered to Adam who was next to me. He knew exactly what to expect since he had already met Coach Ramsden, but the other 3 had however a shock in store.
"Well, Miss Moreau, how many more team mates are we expecting to be seeing next week"? He asked in his sly tone.
"Do you have a problem with them accompanying me"? I replied equally as sly.
"Oh no, on the contrary, the more the merrier". He responded. "Will you be joining us for a game"? He asked the ducks.
"No thanks, we're on a break from hockey at the moment". Charlie responded.
"Yeah, and these guys look too good for us". Guy looked over his shoulder at the already beginning practise.
Coach Ramsden ambled away as quickly as he appeared, much to my joy, I hated the guy, he seemed so fake toward me, I think he may have disapproved of the fact that most of my old team mates had managed to continue playing hockey after high school and had gotten recognition from it, I however hadn't done either. I quickly apologised for his behaviour, I had no idea why I felt the need to, but I did anyway. The practise soon ended and Kelly began lapping up the attention and telling them all about how school and hockey were going. She was still talking non stop when we got in, I went through my mail, only half listening to Kelly talk. The last envelope looked a little different from your average bill, I tossed everything back onto the table and began opening the envelope I had kept in my hands.
Dear Miss Moreau,
R.E : Kelly and Tyler Gunning
We have recently been approached by Mr. T. Gunning, the legal guardian of Kelly Gunning and Tyler Gunning. He has requested we look into, who the concerned party - Kelly and Tyler Gunning, should legally be living with.
Please contact Kim Stewart at Hovarth and son's lawyers or on 555-146-945 as soon as possible to organise a meeting to discuss the living arrangements of the concerned party.
Yours sincerely
K. Stewart
I was overcome by a sick feeling in my stomach. My hands were visibly shaking, Terry was trying to take Kelly and Tyler away from me. I grabbed for the phone, and quickly dialled the mentioned number. I felt hot with anger, how could he after more than 4 years turn up out of the blue and demand custody of them.
"Hello, Hovarth and son's". A very polite woman answered.
"I need to talk to Kim Stewart". I said immediately heading for the kitchen, not wanting Kelly or Tyler to get wind of this.
"Please hold". She replied and I could her putting me through.
"Hello, Kim Stewart speaking".
"Hi, I um, just received a letter from you regarding Kelly and Tyler Gunning". I spoke into the phone.
"Ar yes, thank you for getting back to me so soon". She seemed cheerful, which annoyed me immensely. "When are you available to have a meeting with me"?
"Let's see, today's the 24th, so how about the 12th of NEVER". I snapped down the phone.
"Excuse me"? She seemed rather shocked at my abrupt outburst.
"You aren't taking them away from me, you think I've gone through everything I have done to just hand them over to that alcoholic bastard, you've got another thing coming". I spat down the phone.
"I don't see you have a choice Miss Moreau, if the court decides they are better off with Mr Gunning, and just by this phone call, I can tell they will be". She argued calmly then quickly said goodbye, reminding me that she would be in touch as it was obvious I wouldn't be able to negotiate.
After I put the phone down, I let out a scream and through the phone with plenty of force at the kitchen door, seeing it shatter into pieces gave me little comfort as I grabbed for the letter and stormed back out of the kitchen receiving worried looks from everyone. I wasn't aware at the time, but tears were pouring down my cheeks.
"Connie what's wrong". Adam came to me and tried putting his arm around me, but I shrugged him away.
"Can you look after the kids for a few hours for me? I have something I have to do". I replied and grabbed my jacket and bag before storming out, leaving what I knew would be very confused friends behind and probably 2 scared kids.
Well what's gonna happen? PLEASE R&R!!!!!!!!!!
CAKEEATERS'GIRLY99 - Right, I know you've been one of my biggest fans for a long time now, but I ONLY just realized(and that's cos I'm thick lol) that there are two of you?
