Why? The Sequel: Part 2
The next morning when Trish woke up, she turned on her side and noticed that AJ was gone. She then noticed a note laying on the nightstand on her side of the bed. She picked it up and read it.
Trish,
I went out for a while, be back later.
Love,
AJ
She let out a frustrated sigh and ripped up the note, throwing it in the garbage. Then her bedroom door opened and Austin ran in.
"Mommy," Austin said climbing onto the bed with her and hugging her. "Where's daddy?"
"He's not here right now."
"But, he's never here." Austin complained.
"I know, but…" Trish was interrupted by the doorbell ringing. She got off her bed and walked down the stairs and answered the door with Austin following.
When she opened the door, she didn't even get to say hi, because she was immediately greeted with a hug.
"Hey, Trish." He said hugging her.
"Hey, Randy." Trish said returning the hug.
"Uncle, Randy!" Austin screamed running up to Randy.
"Hey, buddy." Randy answered picking Austin up and hugging him.
"Where's AJ?" Randy asked putting Austin down.
"He's not here, like always." Trish said rolling her eyes and motioning for him to come in.
"Wow, look at you." Randy said gesturing to Trish's stomach.
"Yeah."
"So… is it a boy or a girl?" Randy asked walking into the house. Randy followed Trish into the living room and sat next to her on the couch, and Austin went up to his room.
"Girl."
"Awesome," Randy said smiling. "Is AJ happy?"
"I wouldn't know. He's never home," Trish said emphasizing the word never. "He leaves before I wake up in the morning, and doesn't get home until after twelve at night."
"What could he possibly doing for that long?"
"I wish I knew. Austin always asks for AJ, and when I tell him he's not here, he cries or complains. He never sees AJ anymore."
"That's gotta suck for Austin. Um… can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, of course you can."
"I was wondering if I could take Austin to the park for a while, you can come too, if you want."
"I don't know, if AJ comes home early he'll get worried. You know what screw AJ, yes, we will come."
Three Hours Later
When Trish and Austin walked up to the front of the door, they turned around and waved goodbye to Randy. Then Trish opened the door and they walked in. And sitting on the couch was AJ, and he did not look happy.
When Austin saw AJ, he ran up to him and hugged him.
"Daddy!" Austin screamed hugging him.
"Hey, Austin," AJ said returning the hug. AJ got up off the couch, holding Austin as he did so. AJ walked up to Trish and started to yell at her. "Where the fuck have you been?"
"Me and Austin have been out with Randy, he took us to the park so Austin could play."
"Well, I've been home for an hour. I was worried."
"You were worried? You're the one that's out until all hours of the night, and I'm stuck home cooking, cleaning, taking care of our son, and the dogs, and in case you haven't noticed, I'm pregnant!" Trish yelled back.
"What are you talking about, dogs? We don't have dogs." AJ said confused.
"Wow. You see, you're never home so you don't even know we have two dogs."
"Since when?"
"A week ago. Two cockerspaniels, Dakota and Midnight." Trish said taking Austin from AJ. "Austin, why don't you go upstairs and play."
"Okay, mommy." Austin said running upstairs.
Oh, and I found out if we're having a boy or a girl."
"When?"
"Two fucking days ago. But of course you weren't home, so I couldn't tell you."
"Well, I'm here now. Tell me." AJ said sitting on one of the chairs at the table.
"It's a girl." Trish said.
"That's great."
"Yeah, it's great for you because you don't have to care for her when she's born. You already don't care for our son, how am I supposed to believe you'll care for our daughter?"
"I swear I'll be here for you and her when she's born." AJ said getting up and hugging her.
"Promise?" Trish asked as a tear fell from her eye.
"I promise. I love you, Trish."
"I love you too."
