Chapter 10
At the restaurant….
"Finally, we're away from everything today. I mean we had so much to do today. I finally get to be alone with you" Jude said heading to their table.
"I know. I finally get to be alone with you. It's amazing to me how both our daughters are exactly like you. They sing exactly like you, one has hit platinum 3 times and the other has hit the top of the charts. Oh man I'm talking about work when I should be talking about us" Tommy said.
They were at a restaurant where no press of any kind was allowed, so they sat in the front.
"It's ok Tommy. You are proud of our girls and that's ok. I love that you are so proud of them and I love you" Jude said.
"I love you too. I got you something" Tommy said back, pulling a purple velvet box from his jacket.
He opened it and revealed a 24-karat diamond necklace and 24-karat diamond earrings to match. (I know it is cliché)
"Oh Tommy these are beautiful! Thank you" Jude squealed.
"You're welcome" Tommy smiled at her.
"I have something for you too," Jude took out a c.d. case from her purse. "For the past few months I've been recording this for you. There are songs that I had recently written and songs that never made it on my albums on here. I know you said I should record some more but I don't want the public to hear it. I want it saved just for you" Jude said smiling, handing him the c.d.
Tommy just smiled widely back and blushed a little.
No matter how long Tommy and Jude have been together, she can still make him blush.
He can still make her blush as well.
Tommy poured champagne into both their glasses and raised his.
She raised hers as well.
"To us. I love you Jude. Happy anniversary" Tommy smiled.
"I love you too, Tommy. Happy anniversary" Jude smiled back and they clinked glasses.
They stopped talking for a while when they had gotten their food.
Tommy stopped eating when he heard someone talking with the hostess.
"Excuse me but I need to find Tom Quincy. Is he here? He is my son" an old woman asked, who looked like she was in her 70's.
I know that voice. It couldn't be……Tommy thought. He had not heard the 'he's my son' part.
The woman walked slowly over to them.
Tommy just stared at her.
Jude saw Tommy staring at something and turned around to look at who he was staring at.
"Mother?" Tommy asked the woman who approached them.
"Yes Thomas" Tommy's mother responded.
Tommy stood up and hugged his mother, a lonely tear trickling down his face.
"Why are you here?" Tommy asked, obviously surprised.
"Your two wonderful children found me and told me where you were, so I came" his mother replied.
"Jude you remember my mother right?" Tommy asked Jude.
"Of course. It's nice to see you again" Jude responded.
"Why did it take 11 years mother?" Tommy asked.
"Well, it didn't seem like you wanted to see me after how we ended things. So I hid myself, got re-married, and changed my whole life. It also didn't look like you wanted to find me so I didn't contact you either. I'm sorry for everything that has happened Thomas. Now I know you wanted to find me, from talking to your children. I haven't spoken to either of your brothers and sisters ever since I stopped talking to you. I really am sorry" his mother answered, tears streaming down her face.
A waiter came by their table and gave them the check.
"It's alright mother. The past is the past. We must look towards the future" Tommy said.
After the bill was paid, Tommy, Jude, and his mother got in the car, and drove back to their house.
Tommy opened the door to the house to reveal his 3 kids, Jude's parents, Sadie, Kwest, Nathan, Nick, Kat, Jamie, Lily, SME, Patsy, and Georgia were there giving them a party.
"Happy Anniversary!" all of them shouted.
Jude and Tommy had huge smiles on their faces.
"Thank you!" Tommy and Jude shouted back.
"Michelle and Sean please come here" Tommy said, while shutting the front door.
"What's up dad?" they both said, trying to figure out if their dad was angry at them for finding his mother for him.
"Thank you both very much. This means so much to me that you both would go and find my mother for me. I can't even thank you enough. As great as this is, I would have liked to help you find her" Tommy answered with a smile on his face.
"We know dad, but we wanted it to be a surprise for you" Sean said.
"I know. Thank you so much. You know, you both can have 2 weeks off. Jude and I have put you two through hell for the past month, trying to get things figured out at G-Major. How does that sound?" Tommy said then asked.
"Thanks dad!" they both said, while hugging him.
"You're welcome. Now I want to formally introduce you to your grandmother because you and she probably don't remember each other" Tommy said.
"Ok" Michelle and Sean responded.
"Mother these are your grandchildren Michelle and Sean, the ones who found you" Tommy said to his mother.
"Thank you. You both did a wonderful thing. I haven't seen or talked to my son in 11 years. Now, thanks to you, I have both talked to him and seen him. I think you both are two of the best grandchildren a grandmother could ask for. It is so nice to see how much you care for your father. It is also nice to see how much you've grown from the last time I saw you. I have missed you, your sister, your mother and your father very much. It is so nice to see all of you again" Madeline said.
As a response, Michelle and Sean hugged their grandmother.
A/N: I am so sorry it took so long to get this up. I have had a lot of homework and a seriously bad case of writer's block. I hoped you liked this chapter. I'm not sure I do though. PLEASE REVIEW!
