Chapter 25
Grace's Secret
Fox saw Sam come through the door and could feel the other man's venom for him. He understood that. He was his oldest daughter's husband. He hadn't even got to walk her down the isle.
"Sir, I was wondering if I could talk to you?" Fox asked slightly afraid of Sam Bennet.
Sam nodded and the two went out onto the porch, both very aware that Kay was taking it all in.
"Well?" Sam asked in a none to polite tone.
"Look, I know how precious your family is to you."
"Your point being?"
"I know that you think that I'm wrong for Kay, not only because I'm a Crane. But I swear to you that I care for Kay more than anything."
"Then why do you feel the need to explain yourself to me?" Sam asked.
"Because you're her father. You love her, and respect her, just as I do. I took your little girl away from you."
"Listen Fox, I will tell you one thing, and just this once. If you ever hurt Kay, cause her to lose her mind like Miguel did, it won't matter what end of the Earth your on, or what you last name is. Because none of it will save you from me. I will kill you." And with that Sam turned and walked away.
Kay watched as Sam came back into the house and wondered suddenly if her husband was alive. To her relief Fox walked back in a few minutes later, and came over to her.
"What did you guys talk about?" she asked.
"We talked about our common interest." He kissed the top of her head.
"Hum…….wanna tell me what he said to make you look nervous."
"Not really."
"Fox………."
"Yes."
She stepped back and looked at him. "You are a really good person to put up with my father's threats."
"I don't think they were empty." He looked over her and saw Grace approaching. "Here comes your mother."
"Oh, God." Kay turned to meet Grace head on. "Hi, mother."
"Kay, thank you for coming." Grace smiled slightly. "And you to Fox."
"Your welcome Mrs. Bennet."
"Well its for Dad."
"Kay……….I miss you so much. I was just wondering………" and finally she broke down. She could no longer hold it in. Everyone stopped and looked, shocked that she was crying, and by now Grace had slumped to the floor.
"Oh God, once again you find away to make this day about you." Kay turned to leave but Fox blocked her path.
"Kay, your mother needs you right now" he said softly.
"What? Fox what about the times I needed her support. Huh? What about when I was pregnant and she suggested that I get an abortion. Oh yes, mother, the truth comes out. You were happy when that car he me……." Sam cut her off.
"You suggested what?" he had just come out of the kitchen in time to hear Kay's words.
A/n: I finally updated and I will countinue to do so. Thanks so much for the support.
