A few days later, Danny and I played with Wes and Andi outside. It was a warm day. Danny was Simon during Simon Says and did everything that didn't take up a lot of energy since he was still sick. The two kids had a blast. To them we were two big kids since we were a lot closer to their age then they were used to. It was nice though. While we pushed the two kids on the swings, Danny and I got to talk.

"I know that Eddy brought you up here because of Stephanie but I'm ready to go back to Louisville and train. I'm going stir crazy up here. And it's so crowded. Besides if we stay up here too long people might get suspicious."

"I know." I said and pushed Andi higher when she asked. I was worried about Stephanie but Danny made a good point. The longer we stayed up here, the more people might start wondering where we are though I'm sure Chavo and D-Lo are covering for us at OVW.

"Wes!" I heard Shane call. "Nap time!" Wes got out of the swing and went inside.

I chuckled. "My nephew Tim hates to take naps."

"Misha's pretty good about it but David's kids throw a fit even at the mention of a nap. Mom said I was difficult at that age. Tantrums at everything. She always joked that she felt like throwing a party when I outgrew it." He looked wistful for a moment.

"Yeah well you had lost your father, or rather thought you did. I'm sure I was no picnic for my mother."

"You sure weren't." We turned around to see dad, Uncle Bret, and Chris headed our way. "But it was to be expected." Uncle Bret had spoken.

"Hey Andi why don't you go inside?" Dad suggested.

"You going to have a grown ups talk?" She asked.

"You got it." Chris said. "We'll be inside in a little bit. Why don't you help your mother?" She went inside without another word. Chris chuckled. "They are used to these grown up talks." He explained. "We do need to talk though."

"Eddy has been getting calls from Nancy and he said Chavo told him that Martha's been calling him. They are bout curious about your whereabouts." Uncle Bret said.

"Chavo, D-Lo, and Eddy can only keep telling them excuses for awhile." Dad explained. "It's not that we want any of you to leave because we'd love for you to stay."

"Its just maybe you should go back up to Louisville for awhile." Chris said. "You can come back up and you do have the phone number here. But please use it sparingly."

"Athena and I were talking about this. We know we should go back to Louisville and back to training." Danny said.

Then Chris and Danny wandered away to talk leaving me with dad and Uncle Bret. "It's been great having you both here." Dad said. "I never thought it would happen. Not after all these years." Dad actually had tears in his eyes.

I hugged him and then Uncle Bret hugged him. "We'll be back dad. This isn't goodbye."

Dad kissed me on the forehead. "I know it's not. I look forward to you coming back."

Why did it sound as if he wasn't telling the truth? They weren't planning on packing up and leaving were they?

Please say I'm just imagining things.

Dad and Uncle Bret were talking. "So what are you going to do when this is all over?"

"I heard Chris answer that question earlier. I don't know honestly. It's different for me then it is for Chris. Nancy remarried and Martha didn't but I might not go home either. I honestly don't know."

I thought now would be a good time to ask the question. "Are you guys leaving?"

Dad turned around and had a strange look on his face. "No of course not. Why do you ask?"

"Just a feeling I got." I told him breathing a sigh of relief. I'm glad they weren't leaving. Not after I found him.

"How are you feeling Bret? Eddy had told me about the stroke. Wish I could have been there."

"I'm doing better. A lot better now that I know you're alive. I just can't believe after all of these years..."

"There were times I wish I had been home. For dad and mom's funerals, Oje and Athena's graduations, Oje's wedding and it goes on."

I realized something then. I had the photo album in my bag. I went back inside to grab the album from my bag. When I came back out I found dad and Uncle Bret sitting on the porch swing. I handed dad the photo album.

Dad looked through it but didn't say much as Uncle Bret and I explained the different pictures. Dad had tears streaming down his face by the end of it.

"Sorry to interrupt guys but we've got to go." Eddy said opening the cabin door. He went over to Chris and Danny.

Now I had tears in my eyes. This had been a great moment interrupted by the reality that we weren't the ones in hiding.
