Chapter 58
Sky had asked Haley to stay at the house while he went to his parents place and tell his mother, brothers and sister that he was indeed alive. She had agreed grugingly. Sky had left after saying by to the kids; even Keegan and Kamon.
It was when he came to the front door of his parents that he hesitated. What would he tell his mother? What would he tell Liam or Damon? What about Sam?
His father answered the door. He saw relief in his fathers eyes and then he was being studied. True, his descise was a little much, but if he were ever to get caught he would be place in prison, no doubt about it.
« You okay? » Alec asked his son.
« Sure. »
« Your mothers going to kill me when she finds out. » Alec stated.
Sky frowned at this because he knew that he had been the subject of many fights his father and mother had had.
« She doesn"t have to know. » Sky said.
« Ya, she does. » Alec stated.
Sky nodded, « Well, lets go then. » Sky said, entering the house.
His mother saw him first and looked at him for a whole minute before she clicked in that he was supposed to be dead, « Sky? »
« Hi, mom. » he said and advenced. The tears came as he had predicted.
« Your not dead? » she asked in a daze.
« No, I"m not dead, mom. »
She looked accusingly at her husband, « You knew? »
Alec nodded. She looked away, hurt.
Sky went to his mother and she hugged him . « Oh, Sky, you"re going to be the death of me. »
Sky didn't like that statement much, but he said nothing, « I"m sorry mom, but I had to do it; to save my son. »
She nodded, understanding, but she ignord her husband and Alec left the room, unable to stand the silent treatment his wife was giving him. « Tipical. » he mumbled. Is son, Liam, came into the room; Alec couldn't come to term with the fact that he had missed five years of his youngest son's life. He'd left a child and come back a man; their was no doubt about it. Liam spotted Sky and his jaw opened in shock, « Sky? »
« Hey, kid. » Sky said, backing away from his mother's hug.
« Your not dead! » he accused.
« Would you rather I be? » Sky asked, hurt. »
« I trusted you. » Liam said and left the room, hurt and angry. Sky heard the door slam and winced, « Shit. » Sky mumbled.
« What did you expect? » Max asked him, « You and your father lied to us. You let us grieve at your funeral. You both deceived us. » she said.
« Sorry, mum. » Sky said.
« Don"t you sorry mum me, I know you"re not sorry. » she said sharply.
Sky winced, « I didn"t mean to hurt you, mum, and dad just did what I asked him to do. »
« Don"t you go pretecting your father, he can fight for himself. » Max warned, « So I suppose now since you"re technically dead, you"re wonce again an illegal transgenic. »
« I can work around that, but if I hadn"t pretended, dad would be in jail. » Sky argued.
« I know that. » Max snapped, « Sorry. »
« Look, I"ve go to go see Sam. I"ll be by tomorrow or something. Tell Liam, tell him I"m sorry. » Sk y told them and with a hug from both parents, he left.
Alec watched him go and when he could no longer see him he looked over at his wife; she was glaring at him. Alec gave her an innocent look.
« Don"t you give me that look. » Max warned, « How could you? Again! » she yelled.
« Well. »
« Don"t even try to explain! » she cut him off.
« Max. » Alec said exasperated.
« Don"t you Max me. You lied to me. You told me my son was dead.My SON! » she yelled.
« I had too. » Alec yelled back.
« Was I that much of a liability? » she yelled back.
« YES! Because there were government men at the funeral and if you had known your son wasn"t really dead you wouldn"t have put a show of so much emotion. » he yelled.
« Could you still me arrested? » she asked worriedly.
« No, but Sky could, if they ever find out he is still alive they"ll arrest him and throw away the key. They don"t go easy on transgenics. » Alec explained.
« But you work for the government. » she stated.
« I know that honey, but Sky doesn"t and they don"t much care that he"s my son. » Alec explained.
« I"m still mad at you. » Max told him.
Alec smirked and then grinned. Max had to bight the inside of her mouth to stop the smile.
