Thanks for the reviews here is chapter two
Lizzie walked the steps inside of the apartment complex that Jonathan and Sarah resided at. She reached the door, slowly setting her suit-case and shopping bags to the floor. She went to knock on the door but stopped, turned away and the first thing she saw was Reva's car in the parking lot.
"Reva has your back, Jonathan won't say no too Reva."
Lizzie turned back around and immediately knocked on the door. Lizzie heard faint voices from inside, noisy movement, and finally the sound of the door being unlocked and opening.
"Lizzie, Lizzie what are you doing here?"
"Well… Well…"
Lizzie grabbed her shopping bags off the floor
"I brought stuff… stuff for both you and Sarah."
"Lizzie."
"Um, and I wanted to thank you for the mothers day card."
"Liz—"
"Is that all you can say Jonathan, I did not come out here for nothing, didn't Reva tell you."
Jonathan looked back inside his apartment where Reva was holding Sarah
"Tell me what Reva?"
"Jonathan I figured I'd let Lizzie tell you this, you at least owe her that, to listen to her."
"Tell me what?"
"Well can I come in, and see Sarah please."
The look is Lizzie's eyes were just burning into Jonathan's brain. It was like she was staring into her own world, but also begging and pleading, seconds away from falling to floor to beg, and moments before tears.
"Jonathan please!" yep she was going to start crying. Jonathan was not completely heartless; he hated seeing the women in his life cry.
"Ok, how bout I help you with your stuff."
Jonathan grabbed Lizzie's suitcase as she grouped together her shopping bags and entered Jonathan's apartment. Lizzie dropped her bags again once she saw Sarah. Reva met Lizzie half way and handed the infant over too her mom.
"There has never been a time to stop a Spaulding." Jonathan quietly stated the obvious.
Jonathan let Lizzie have a moment to rejoice with Sarah
"Jonathan take a look at the clothes, they are going to look so cute with Sarah; good thing I got a bigger memory card for my camera…"
Reva was babbling on as she looked through Lizzie's shopping bags, Jonathan kept his focus on Lizzie and Sarah, with thoughts of what Lizzie and Reva would tell him.
"Jonathan look at this."
Jonathan took a quick look at Reva, then back to Lizzie.
"Jonathan your doing a good thing, the mother's day card was a good thing."
Reva stuffed the pink outfit into the bag, and made Jonathan focus his attention to her.
"I don't think I can ever trust Lizzie again, I've done it over and over."
"Jonathan, everyone makes mistakes in their life, it's how we live, and Lizzie will do anything for Sarah, the same goes for you, but why can't she have both of her parents in her life to do everything?"
Sometimes Jonathan hated it when Reva was right, but as much as hate he had for Lizzie, his daughter still needs a mother. They say third times a charm, he did not believe in stuff like that, especially when it came to his life.
"One more chance Lizzie."
Ok, sorry for the shortness, the next chapter should be longer that chap's one and two combined. Please leave a review, and the next chapter Lizzie tells Jonathan of Alan's downfall. Ok I know, whatever, Dinah took down Alan, such a big reveal but, that's not all that is in the next chapter.
