"After taking every detour
Getting lost and losing track
So that even if I wanted
I could not find my way back
After driving out the memory
Of the way things might have been
After I'd forgotten all about us
The song remembers when"
Natalie got up and ran into the bathroom. She hadn't felt well in so long. After she threw up she grabbed a washcloth and wiped her mouth. "Jamie must have brought a bug home from school." She told herself. It was the most reasonable explanation she could think of.
"You ok?" Antonio asked.
Natalie turned back around shocked. "Yeah you just scared me."
"Sorry. Why don't you come back to bed?" Antonio asked reaching his hand out.
"I will I just want to go check on Jamie first."
"Ok I'll be waiting." Antonio said as he headed back to bed.
Natalie turned off the bathroom light and headed to Jamie's room. When she cracked open the door she saw her peacefully sleeping. She almost closed the door when she noticed a new envelope next to Jamie's bed. Natalie walked over and grabbed it. It was addressed to "Mr. and Mrs. Antonio Vega." It was Ben's handwriting Natalie knew that. She grabbed the letter and started to leave again. As she got back into her and Antonio's bedroom she opened the letter and turned on a lamp.
"What's that?" Antonio asked sitting up.
"An invitation."
"Don't tell me the mail already came? It's two in the morning."
"No it seems Jamie got the mail again."
"Oh I'll talk to her about that in the morning."
"No, let me besides the only reason she does it, is because she thinks she won't give her or tell her if R. J. writes."
"In that case, let me talk to her."
"Fine but watch what you say about him you say about him. You've got to remember he is her grandfather."
"I know. I know." He said grumbling. "So what's the invitation for?"
"For my mother's birthday."
"Do you want to go?"
"Of course I do but you know Jess and Cris will be there."
"But they shouldn't keep you from your mother."
"You mean you'd want to see Jessica?"
"Well…"
"See, we just shouldn't go ok?"
"Natalie…"
"Antonio, I'm fine with it. Let's just go to sleep." Natalie said lying down.
"What are you still doing up?" Vicki asked as she came downstairs where Ben was sitting at his desk.
Ben closed the desk. "Nothing. Sorry I didn't mean to wake you."
"You didn't. I woke up when I reached for you and you weren't there."
"Sorry."
"Don't worry about it. Just come back to bed."
"Sure just let me lock this." He said locking the desk.
"You really think I'd search the desk?"
"Yes." Ben said smiling.
"I'm offended by that."
"No, you're not because you know it's the truth."
"Maybe. Why can't you tell me what's in there?"
"Because it's a surprise for you."
"Ok I'll leave you alone as long as you can promise I'm going to like the surprise."
"I'm promising you, you will." Ben said as they headed upstairs. "That's if your family will come." He mumbled.
"Good morning." Jessica said as Cristian came downstairs.
"Good morning." He said as he gave Jessica a kiss and then Patrick a kiss on the head.
"I need you to take Patrick with you to work."
"Why?" Cris asked as he took a piece of toast from her.
"Mrs. Pertal is sick."
"Great. And how am I going to explain to Sloan about there being a baby at my studio?"
"Tell him that your wife is stubborn and claims to leave you if you don't."
"Would you?"
"You don't want that answer."
Cristian laughed as he started to go through the mail. When he found the invitation he started to open it.
"Anything interesting?"
"Yeah Ben's throwing a birthday party for your mother this weekend."
"Do you want to go?"
"I know you do."
"Cris, I feel like I should. She's my mother after all."
"You know if I was to say that about Carlotta you'd laugh."
"True but this wouldn't be the same."
"I know."
"So we're going?"
"Of course."
"Thank you."
"You don't have to say that. Just you bring happy is enough."
"Still I've got to say it."
