Chapter 4
A couple hours later just as betty was finally settling down and finally drifting of for a nap a knock came at the door. Thinking it was Daniel she got up reluctantly and made her way to the door, passing Christina who was sound asleep. Pregnancy made her sleep harder than a rock these days.
" Daniel I told you we would start the plan …" Betty started saying as she opened the door to find not Daniel by Henry holding a pink Gerber Daisy .
" Oh Henry … I' sorry I thought you were Daniel … uh what's up" Betty pulled her fingers thorough her hair, funning with her shirt then looking straight at Henry.
" Oh um Well I was just wondering if you wanted to get some dinner I mean I know this great place that I think you would really like. So…"
Henry felt just as nervous as the day her first asked her to lunch. Breathing deep but trying to stay cool fiddling with the flower in his hand.
" Ah Actually Henry I'm really tired I was just um" Betty pointing behind her to the bed
" Oh ok yea … I just thought we could catch up" Henry looked down and stammered a little
Betty now not knowing what to say wishing with all pores of her body that he would just kiss her. She Swallowed hard and tried to speak.
" Um… Maybe a rain check yea .."
Henry looked back up and shook his head
" Yea definitely … so I'm just" Henry started walking away and turned back " This is for you by the way"
He said with a smile as he handed her the daisy. Betty took it with a smile and watched him walk down the hall way for a second before she closed the door. She leaned back into the door and smelled the flower and couldn't help but smile but then she felt like crying again. Setting the daisy by the stand beside the bed she laid down for a while she just stared at it and sobbed quietly slowly drifting off to sleep…
Back at Henry's room…
Henry entered in his room. His mother, Charlie , and him shared a conjoining hotel room, each to have there separate space but each there for Lila if they needed them. Her room was mainly in Charlie's part but each had a monitor so they could hear her. He could hear Charlie softly shushing Lila to sleep over the monitor and smiled. He loved being a father to his little girl. But he couldn't feel like a little part of him was missing … Betty was missing.
Staring down at the glass of water just pored he heard the door open and Charlie come in but he didn't look up…
" Henry we need to get some …" Charlie began to say but as she finally looked up from her list she was reading she saw Henry staring off into space.
" Hellooooooo … are you listening to me?" she said with a bratty little tone in her voice.
" Huh … ooo sorry what were you saying" Henry slowly looked up at her and she notice a slight build up of tears in his eyes.
" What's wrong with you" she said with that same tone
" Oh Nothing .. it's just a …." Henry started saying but then heard Charlie but in
" Ha a Betty issue … what is it… know what no I don't want to know"
" Charlie just calm down … cause you don't need to know … but know what since you are Lila's mother and she my daughter you should know that Betty's in town and I'm going to do everything to win her back. I love her and I want to be with her." Henry could feel himself getting defensive now standing across the coffee table from Charlie.
Charlie looking blankly at him now … then to the floor
" you will never love me again will you." she said now staring into his eyes
" No … I love Betty" He said with no doubt in his voice or mind and Charlie could see that. She stared shaking her head and left the list on the table. Then clearing her throat
" Um… shopping list for tomorrow." she walked out the door.
Henry now clearer than ever before took a deep breath and went to his bedroom. He lay there now staring at the ceiling his mind drifting thinking of her ….
