Charlie was released from the hospital later that day. Jack drove him back to the hotel, where he was the only one left staying. All the others either bought a home or went back to where they came from. It left Charlie with a feeling of emptiness to be so alone. He smiled when he saw Jacob run up to him.
"Daddy I missed you," the boy cried, grabbing onto Charlie's leg. Charlie patted the boy's sandy colored hair.
"I missed you to Jakie," he said lifting him up into his arms.
"Guess what's in...ummm," Jacob tried to think. He looked over Charlie's shoulder to see Rose standing a few feet awat smiling. She mouthed to him, "two weeks."
"Oh yeah! Two weeks," the young boy smiled, still held in Charlie's arms.
"Two weeks, now let me think." Charlie pretended to ponder as Jacob giggled. "Could it be your 5th birthday," Charlie smiled. Jacob nodded and laughed.
"You won't be able to hold me anymore cause I will be a big boy," Jacob said proudly.
"You'll never be to old for me to hold," Charlie said, setting down his son.
Jacob laughed and ran away down the hall, off to do his own thing. Charlie sighed as he watched him laugh giddily and run up to the hotel workers. He had become popular and friendly with all the hotel workers. They loved to play with him when the weren't busy.
"Your a great father Charlie," a familiar voice said behind him. He turned to see Rose there with a giant smile spread across her face. Charlie smiled back.
"I don't want this to burden you. Me moving out," Rose said.
"You have been great Rose. Thanks for all the help but I think I'll be fine from here," Charlie smiled, hugging the older woman. She hugged him back.
"We'll keep in touch. It would be a shame if we all lost contact with each other," she said breaking away from Charlie's hug. He nodded in agreement.
"It would, wouldn't it," he said.
"If we don't speak to each other for a while, best wishes to you and Jacob," she smiled, hugging Charlie again.
"Bye Rose," he said. He waved good-bye as she walked out. He watched her flag down a cab and leave. He was filled with sadness as he watched the last of his island family leave. He ran his hand through his hair as he just stared out the glass, swinging doors. He turned to he Jacob looking up at him, with his large blue eyes.
"Where's Aunt Rose going," he asked?
"We'll see her again, I promise you," Charlie said, comforting his son. Jacob frowned when he heard that she had left. He knew he would see her again but now it wouldn't be as often as usual.
"Do you want to do something tonight, like go to the movies," Charlie asked Jacob?
"Movies," Jacob said unsure?
That's when is dawned on Charlie that Jacob had never been off the island to experience a normal life.
"We'll go there tonight. You'll have a blast," Charlie grinned.
Charlie and Jacob were about to walk upstairs when then were stopped by a young woman.
"Sir, Are you Mr. Charles F. Pace," she asked.
"That's me," Charlie nodded.
"This is for you sir," she said handing him an envelope. She walked away as he tore it open and read it.
Dear Mr. Charles F. Pace;
Your presence is needed at the Sydney Court House, located on the corner of Worfield and Sellis St. The date is Thursday, June 24, 2009. Please be there.

Charlie stared at the letter angrily. Who knew why he was going there. It was all about Jacob. Charlie stormed up the stairs in a huff. This seriously pissed him off.
PLEASE R&R!
