Disclaimer: see previous chapters… I don't own oreos.
A/N: I just want to let you know that this chapter is going to be mostly dialogue. I'm sorry to those of you who don't like it too much. It's just it helps me tell the story. Also I just want to let you know they live in San Francisco because I figured it might help you follow this chapter better. I can't think of anything else I want to tell you except please R/R.
One, two, "THREE!" Celeste screamed as she pitched the ball.
" And it's out of there!"
Celeste looked over to a young boy sitting on the bench with a shake of her head and he followed her notion.
" You tried," he said patting her on the back as she walked by.
" Obviously not hard enough. They still won."
" You actually thought you girls had a chance of winning? Against the guys?"
" Watch your mouth!"
"So what are we going to do now?"
" We are going to go visit Kevin."
" That man you've been visiting for the past few months? I thought it was going to be just the two of us. You promised."
" Well I promised Kevin too."
" Why do you call him that? After all he is. Well you know what he is."
" I want him to figure that out in his own time," She took the water bottle from him,
" Now as for you."
" What did I do?"
" Just get in the car."
Kevin sat by the window staring blankly into space. He wore a purple shirt and glasses were placed plainly on his face. He had one hand on his coat, which was sitting beside him and in the other he held a hat.
"Kevin, sorry we're late!" Celeste said bursting through the door, " The game ran over time."
"I don't see the point, you didn't have any chance of winning."
" I don't want to cause any trouble. It truly doesn't matter," he said standing up.
"Oh you don't. Are you ready to go?"
" Yes."
" Then let's hit the road."
"Who are you?" Kevin said pointing to the young kid standing beside Celeste.
"Sean," he said extending his arm.
"He's my son."
"How old are you?" Kevin questioned.
"Ten. What's it matter?" Sean sassed off.
" Sean!" Celeste said slapping him, " I'm sorry Kevin."
" Oh it's ok."
"Where are we going?" Sean questioned pulling a bag of Oreos out of him bag.
"To Alcatraz. Now if there aren't anymore questions I would like to get going." Celeste said heading out of the door.
Kevin followed as he took an umbrella out of the canister beside the door.
"What are you bringing that for?" Sean questioned.
" It looks like rain."
"Right." Sean said rolling his eyes.
Fisherman's Dock was busy with people of all sizes shopping as merchants tried to sell their merchandise.
"Salmon! Get your fresh salmon here!"
"So did you grow up here?" Sean questioned.
Celeste looked at him and rolled her eyes.
" Actually I grew up in New York," Kevin commented, " Then I moved to Maine and became a clerk at a hotel."
" Is that where you met Lucy?"
"Lucy? How do you know about Lucy?"
"Mom tells me," he said motioning towards Celeste and Celeste gave him a disgusted look, " So answer me is that where you met her?"
" Yep. Her and Billy."
" Billy? Who's Billy?"
" Billy is the lad she brought with her when she first arrived in Maine. From what she told me he was a child she had found at the train station. I don't remember him very much though because he departed only a few days after they arrived."
" Tell me more about Lucy."
" Well, she grew up around here. Only a few hours away."
" Really? Were did she live?"
"In Glenoak."
" Are you telling the truth? Cause that's where me and mom live."
Kevin turned his attention towards Celeste who started to jitter from nerves, " You live in Glenoak? That's funny you never told me that. You must know my brother, Ben and sister-in-law, Mary."
"I don't believe I've ever met them."
" We'll all have to get together some time."
"Yes we will. Won't we?"
Kevin, Celeste, and Sean made their way down to the pier 39. Shops lined it and the waves hit the stilts.
" I want to see the seals." Sean said with a pleading look.
"After the island," Celeste said walking through the crowd.
"I don't want to go. I'm scared of ghosts," Sean pushed.
Celeste gave him a look, " Cut it out Sean. We're going and that's final."
During their whole dispute Kevin had wandered off. He passed young children with their families, and the many musicians and performers. When he got to a man that appeared to be a statue he stopped.
" Sir. Is there a problem?" he questioned taping the metallic man.
The man stood there motionless.
"Sir."
He glared down at him, " Please, leave."
"Kevin! There you are."
"What is it Celeste?"
" I was a worried sick about you."
"Well I'm fine."
" I was still worried. You just up and left."
" I'm sorry. I just hate when people fight. Lucy and her father fought all the time after I got her pregnant."
Sean looked at him wide eyed, " Why would it matter? You were married."
Kevin gave him a grin, " That's the thing. We weren't married when I got her pregnant. At least not yet."
" So you had a child out of wed-lock?" Sean questioned as he shook his head, " Mom wasn't married to dad when she had me. Still isn't. Boy did it bug pop."
Celeste glared at him.
Kevin nodded, " It bugged Lucy's father plenty."
"Father's are always so protective."
" It's for their daughter's own good."
" Right. Their daughter's own good." Sean nodded as if he were taking notes.
" So Celeste you never told me what your occupation was," Kevin said turning towards her.
" I'm a police officer. Just like my dad was."
" That's funny. I was a police officer when I was younger. That is before I busted my hip," he said with a laugh as he pointed to the fake hip.
" So what do you say we board the boat?"
" Sounds good to me."
As they stepped onto the island it was as if the temperature dropped a hundred degrees. The wind blew fiercely, but they toughed it. They held onto each other's hands trying to keep warm. Almost like a family, the family that they were.
A/N: This chapter explains a lot so if you don't get it make sure to reread it. I will be happy to answer any questions. So please review. Other than that look for the next chapter coming soon.
