Years Ago
Chapter 9-Secrets
Inside the Dojo
"So...it's a baby." Max said as he stared at the child gurgling joyfully in it's
mother's arms, "Can I hold it?"
Mariam looked at him carefully before nodding and placing the baby in his
hands.
"Wow. This is great. I've never held a baby before. Mom was always
afraid I would drop it." Max said smiling at the baby in his arms while everyone
else looked on with wide eyes.
"Yeah." Emily said quietly, "So have you talked to your mom, Max?"
"No not yet, but I will soon!" He said bouncing the baby in his arms as it
squealed for joy.
"Oh well she is doing very well. Actually she got back together with your
dad. Wow Max you're really good with that baby." She said smiling at the sight.
"Now if only you could get that little baby of mine to go to sleep. He hasn't
slept in two days!"
"I'll try." Max said as he started swinging his arms softly, "Wow! I never
thought that they would get back together! This is great!"
Meanwhile
Rei and Mariah sat together on the other side of the room.
"It's been along time." Rei said, "How are you?"
"Getting married, but other than that good." She said with a smile, "I don't
mean to make that sound bad or anything...it's just hectic to say the least."
"Oh really." Rei said as he looked toward the ground.
"I'm not going to beat around the bush, Rei. I know you had feelings for
me and if it was five years ago I would agree. But I moved on, we all moved on.
Without you guys." Mariah said looking down at her hands.
"Mariah. I still have feelings for you."
"That doesn't change anything! It doesn't matter if you still have feelings
for me or if I still have feelings for you!" Suddenly her eyes went wide, "Oh my!"
"Mariah-"
"I'm going to go and check on Hilary!" She said as she jumped up and ran
out of the room.
When she walked in the kitchen she wished she had come sooner. Her
best friend was crying against the wall.
"Hil. Hil don't cry." Mariah said as she knelt down in front of her.
"Why? Why shouldn't I, Mariah?" She yelled as she looked up at her
friend, "This is horrible! Kai came back! My first love I should be happy! But no I
broke a promise I made to him! I got someone else while he was gone!"
"It wasn't your fault, you thought he was dead...we all did." Mariah said.
"But I did it and worse I fell in love! I don't know what to do!" Hilary said
quietly.
Her friend took the sobbing girl into her arms and rubbed her back gently,
"Well Kai does have a child with you."
"So does Robert." She whispered, as her friend's eyes grew big.
"Does he know?"
"Not yet. I was going to announce it tonight." Hilary said as she held on to
her friend for dear life. They sat in the corner as the onlooker stood in shock.
