An: Sorry the chapter is so short
Cody arrived home only to be greeted by a crying Cailey, and a very upset Rena.
"Where have you been?" Rena demanded as soon as he walked in the door.
"I told you, I went to have coffee with a friend, why? I wasn't late coming home." Cody said as he picked up little Cailey and comforted the crying girl.
"Well, for one I was getting sick of Cailey's incessant crying and reason number two was that the person you were meeting called here and said who she was and everything. Do you understand why I worry about you and her having coffee together and bonding? You were nuts about her and I just don't want you to fall back into that trap." Rena said as she took one last glance at Cody's face before exiting the house.
Well shit, Cody thought as he pondered over the current dilemma. Cailey looked up at her father with big wide eyes as if inquiring as to what was wrong.
"It's alright Cailey, mommy is coming right back in a little bit." But even as he said this he highly doubted it. Rena and Cody had been getting in worse and worse fights since Cailey was born, and he realized that this must've been her last straw. He had always been madly in love with Bailey, and though he married Rena he had always regretted letting Bailey get away. Bailey had flat out dumped him on their anniversary in Paris and Cody, who was overwhelmed by sadness, ended up being comforted by Rena and she somehow was able to get him to agree to go out with her. Years later here they were, a completely dysfunctional family that was on the brink of collapsing. Cody knew what he had to do, so he put his daughter in her crib and picked up the phone and dialed Rena's cell phone number.
"Hey Rena, we need to talk."
