Thank you for the reviews. I am going to continue. You guys have no
idea what's coming.
The next night, Sean and I were sitting at my kitchen table. "And they said no one was there?"
"Yes. I've gotten three more calls, and today, this came in the mail," I said, handing the letter to him.
He read it. "Oh gosh, this guy is demented," he said.
"Yeah I know. I don't know what to do."
"Do you want me to stay with you tonight?"
"Would you?" I asked.
"Of course," he said. "Emily loves playing with Vanessa."
Paige and Jason were at the airport. There was an awful storm that had cancelled all flights.
"You're telling me that we're stuck here?" Jason was saying.
"Yes, Mr. Steele. It's too dangerous to risk going out in this weather," the pilot said.
"I have to get to California," he said.
"The roads leaving the country are closed and the airlines are closed too. You'll have to leave in the morning."
"Come on, baby, lets go get something to eat," Paige said, putting a hand on her husband's shoulder.
They left the airport and headed to a restaurant.
"Manny, let me take you out to dinner tonight," Craig said.
"Since when do you want to take me anywhere?" she asked.
"I love you, Manny," he said, hugging her. "Let me do it."
"Alright, lets go. Do you want Alex to come with?"
"Sure," he said.
She hesitated. "Something tells me he shouldn't come. Do you think Joey would watch him?"
"Sure."
It was ten o'clock now, and Sean and I sat in front of the fireplace talking and drinking pink lemonade.
"I'm just so afraid Spinner is going to get custody over Brock," I said.
"Well I'm sure he won't. The court favors the mother. What about Vanessa?"
"What about her?" I asked.
"Wouldn't he try to get custody over her too?"
"No. That's not going to be a problem," I answered, taking a drink.
"Oh, I see," he said.
"Spinner isn't Vanessa's father," I told him.
"Does he know?"
"Spinner or her dad?"
"Both."
"I think Spinner knows but he hasn't said anything. He's not listed on her birth certificate and I'm sure he doesn't care. As for Vanessa's father, I've never told him," I said.
"Who is he?" Sean asked.
My heart went weak. "This guy I used to know it just sort of happened."
"Was it a mistake? Do you regret it?"
"No, it was one of the only thing's I've done right. I'll never regret it."
Paige and Jason were seated at the table in front of Manny and Craig.
"Oh, hi you guys!" Paige said with false enthusiasm. "This is my husband, Jason."
"Hi," Craig said.
"Manny, this is..."
Manny cut her off. "Alexander?" she asked.
Betchya didn't see that coming. Review and tell me what you think.
