Five years later..................
"Hey Thea, it's me. Just called to let you know that Caleb, Pouge, Sara, Reid, Tyler, Christina and I are going to have pick nick at the park in Ipswich, please come. You and Daniel, Reid needs to see you. He needs to know that your okay, that you still care for him. I'll hopefully see you tomorrow at 1. Bye sis." Sarah hung up the phone after that. I hadn't stopped listing to the message since I got home from taking Daniel to the movies.
"Mom what's wrong?" He said coming out of nowhere.
"Nothing honey." I said picking him up. "Do you want to go meet your cousins tomorrow?" I asked knowing that he would say yes. He didn't know any family.
"Yeah. Will I meet daddy?" He asked me. It shocked me still how much he looked like Reid. He had his hair and eyes. Sometimes I would lay in bed, crying. The worst decision I made was to leave and go to Penn State. That was the only place Reid didn't apply to that I did, he did not want to go there, I wanted to.
"Daniel why don't you go get your pj's on, then I'll come tuck you in."
"Okay mommy." He said walking into his room. I hadn't talked to anyone but Sara in five years. Reid had no clue about Daniel. I wanted Daniel to have a father figure, but I needed to find the right time to tell him, before he was 13 of course. I felt something I hadn't felt in five years, a vision. I didn't tell Daniel about them, I thought there was no need to. I sat down on the kitchen floor, waiting for the vision to happen.
We were at the Ipswich park, I had just got there with Daniel, he ran over to play with Sean, Ryan and Marc. I sat down next to Kate. We talked for a long time before Reid showed up. When he saw me he walked right over to me.
"What are you doing here?"
"Sara invited me." I said smiling.
"Well I'm disinviting you." He said and walked away.
"Mommy?" Daniel said shaking my shoulder. I could hear him softly crying. I sat up and held him close to me.
"I'm fine sweetie I promise." I picked him up and carried him to his room. I sat him down in his blue race car bed and tucks him in. "Good night sweetie."
"Night mommy" he said and shut his eyes tightly. I walked into my room and changed into my pj's. I remember when Sean, Ryan and Marc were born. It seemed that like after I found out that I was going to have a baby Kate found out, a few months later Tyler's girlfriend Christina found out, then Sara did. We had the new sons of Ipswich. Daniel Garwin, Marc Simms, Sean Parry and Ryan Danvers. I beat myself up for being there with them, like I should have been.
I barely slept at all last night. I was worried about my vision. I had been asking myself. Why am I doing this? Why am I going back to Ipswich. I grabbed a cup of coffee and walked Ito Daniels room. He stood there looking at his closet. He stood there hands on his hips looking at his closet. I stood there silently watching him in the doorway. He would choose a shirt out of his closet, take it off the rack, look at it then put it back into the closet. The look on his face was so similar to Reid always wore. I couldn't help but laugh. He turned around and ran to me.
"Good morning mommy!" He said wrapping his arms around my legs. "I can't find an outfit to wear."
"Let's find you something." I said walking her with him to his closet. After a few minutes we decided on jeans and a shirt that said 'Swimming' on it. I fixed us breakfast. While he was eating, I started his bath. While he took a bath, I took a shower. I kept on asking myself why am I doing this? I hadn't talked to anyone but Sara in five years. I decided on jeans and a dark green top. I walked into Daniels room and helped him to get ready. We were just about to leave, when I heard a loud bang on the door. I opened it and saw Mrs. Poole, the landowner.
"Where is your rent?" She asked in that snobby voice she always had.
"I'll have it by Monday."
"Dorothy, Monday is too late. I want you out of here by Monday." She walked away. Great, one more thing to add on by plate. Maybe I could live with Sara for a while, find a job in Ipswich, teaching, thank god it was summer. I hurried Daniel outside. He knew what was going on. He knew that we would have to move. As we drove to Ipswich Daniel was asking me tons of questions about Reid. When we got to the park.
"Stay in the car for a bit. I'll come get you when everything I'd cool." He nodded. I got out of the car, barely ready to face my past.
I know im kind of jumping ahead but i felt that i needed to go into the future a bit, and i like it so i hope you do too
