Getting Back Jared
CHAPTER 4:
After their delicous country lunch,the four went to the Grocery Store to get some stuff for dinner and the rest of the time they would be on the road. They also got soap,shampoo,and deodorant and then got back in their car,drove for about four more hours before stopping at a hotel called Thorny Gates Inn. They went to the front desk where a man with sandy blond hair and blue,cat like eyes walked up. "Hi,may I help you?" He asked in a bubbly sort of voice.
Anastasia cleared her throat and said authoritivly. "Yes,we would like two rooms with two double beds please."
The man typed that into the computer,as well,as Anya's name and then handed them two keys.
"Enjoy." he said leaning over with his face right in Anya's and a flirtatious smile on his thin lips.
Derek went and grabbed her by the arm a fake,friendly smile on his lips as he said,"Thank you!! Well we had better be getting to our rooms now!!" He quickly pulled her back with Danny and Liberty and the foursome walked out of the lobby and to the hallway where their rooms would be.
When they came upon their rooms they walked into one only to see that it was the honeymoon suite black satin sheets where on the bed with red,satin, heart- shaped pillows a jacuzzi was in the bathroom and there was a mirror above the bed at the site Liberty's eyes widened and her mouth gaped open in an "O". Derek was gazing first at the,bed,then the,mirror,the jacuzzi,then finally at Anya,his cheeks becoming redder. Liberty raised her eyebrows then said,"Why don't you two take this room? Me and Danny will stay in the other one." Liberty said pulling her brother out of the room and opening the door to the other one which contained two double peds with floral blue comforters. Sighing with relief Liberty collapsed onto a bed and untied her shoe laces and taking off her shoes.
Tomorrow the foursome would be on the road again,closer to finding Liberty's son,JT's son. She didn't know what she would say to the people who adopted little Jared or Fester as they so named him and that made her nervous. What would they think when they saw her again and most importantly would Jared recognize her? After all she was his mother and she and JT had made him. She thought that she would even recognize him on the street because the bond between mother and child could not be broken. Not for her.
"Oh god!!!" Liberty said the next morning looking at her ringing cell phone. "What?" Danny asked looking at his sister with concern written all over his features
"Toby,is calling!!! What should I do??" She asked anxiously looking at Anastasia who sat beside Derek with her terry cloth robe pulled tightly on her and her wet hair falling in her face.
"Answer it. He was my cousin's best friend and he needs to know." She whispered.
Liberty turned the cell on and put it to her ear. "Hello?" She asked.
"Liberty? What are you doing where are you? Why aren't you in school?" obviously he hadn't thought Liberty would go through with finding her son. " I'm at a hotel with Anastasia,Danny,and Derek." She said swallowing the lump in her throat. She knew what was coming next, and sure enough...
"A Hotel?!!? Liberty,WHAT??? Don't tell me you are actually going through with it!" He said disbelievingly.
"Toby,I want my son...and JT would too. I need to make this right. I can't have my son growing up thinking that I didn't want him." Then without saying goodbye she turned off the phone.
