Their Love

Chapter 2

10 Months Later . . . .

After fighting in the war for Meridian, Caleb had only one thing on his mind: getting home to Cornelia. He couldn't believe that he had left his angel, but he had a responsibility. He was glad that it was finally over so that he could get home. As he headed to Cornelia's apartment, he thought of how much he had missed her. He couldn't help but think of the way he would be rewarded when he got to Cornelia.

At Cornelia's Apartment . . . .

"Thanks for coming over Matt." Cornelia said.

"No problem. Actually, I should be thanking you for letting us use your apartment for Will's surprise birthday party" Matt replied.

"You know that I would do anything for my best friend." Cornelia said. As if on cue, a baby was heard crying from the room beside Cornelia's bedroom. Cornelia exited the room to quiet her son.

With Caleb . . . .

Only two more blocks, Caleb thought. He chose to walk to Cornelia's apartment instead of catching a cab. While he walked, he gathered his memories of Cornelia. He could remember her golden blonde hair, ocean blue eyes, and luscious rose petal lips. The more he thought of her, the faster he walked. Before he knew it, he was at Cornelia's apartment building. He followed the familiar routine up to her apartment. He was about to knock on the door, that on the other side was his love, when, through the open window, he heard two voices talking. He stopped to listen before he interrupted, when he heard:

"Awww, he's soooo cute! He really likes it when you hold him." Matt said lovingly.

"He better like it when I hold him, I'm his mother." Cornelia responded.

Mother? Caleb thought.

"You know, he's really starting to like you." Cornelia added while cradling her son. "For this past month you have been so much like a father to him."

Father? Caleb panicked. Cornelia, how could you? I know that I have been gone for a while and we weren't allowed communication, but why? I thought that we were going to be each others first and only love. I love you more than life itself and you betrayed me. Why?

"It's good that he likes me because I'm going to be around a lot if Will feels the same way I know I feel about her. I can't go on like this without telling her how I really feel deep down in my heart. How do you think she'll react?" Matt questioned.

I'm sorry Cornelia; I love you way too much to see you live with someone who was "supposedly" my best friend. I told him to take care of you when I was gone, but he went too far.

"I don't quite know, I'll guess she'll be surprised. That means you'll be around more often and Will and I will be more than friends, if you know what I mean." Cornelia hinted.

She was about to talk some more when she glanced at the time.

"Oh my gosh, look at the time! We have to hurry or everyone will find us like this!" Cornelia said frantically.

I've heard enough. I love you too much Cornelia. I'm sorry, but I have to leave before my heart breaks even more." Caleb thought.

He slowly began the long walk of shame down the stairs of the apartment building. When he thought about where to go, it hit him. He had nowhere to go. He had planned to live with Cornelia in her apartment when he returned from his mission. They had discussed it their last night together. Cornelia said that since they were going to be married soon, he could move in with her.

What am I to do? Caleb wondered. You were my life, light, reason for living, my everything. How can I live without you, my beautiful angel?

He was knocked out of his thoughts when he ran into Irma.

"Whoa, watch where you're going pal. Can't you see I'm trying to walk here? I'm in a hurry to get to . . . . Caleb!" Irma blurted out when she finally realized who it was. "What are you doing here? Sorry I didn't recognize you sooner, but I couldn't see over these packages I'm carrying. And, I'm really sorry about what I said earlier. Oh Caleb, I'm so happy to see you!" She put down her packages and gave Caleb a friendly hug.

"You've got a couple of surprises that you missed." Irma told him when they pulled away. "Now, come on, help me carry these packages to Corny's apartment and we can catch up and. . . ."

"Whoa, Irma slow down." Caleb said laughing slightly.

"Sorry, I'm just so excited that you're back! Gosh, I can't wait to see Corny's face when she sees you! You both are going to be so surprised. You know, a lot of things have happened since you have been gone!" Irma said with a smile on her face.

"Yeah, I know." Caleb responded sadly.

"You know? But how? You just came . . . ." Irma started.

"I know, Irma, because, I just came from Cornelia's apartment." Caleb stated plainly.

"Yeah, I kinda was wondering why you were coming from that direction." Irma said embarrassed. "Well, why are you leaving? Did Cornelia tell you about the surprises?"

"Well, kind of. We didn't talk, but what she said and what I saw was enough. The "surprises" if you can call them that, were not what I expected." Caleb said sadly thinking back to the heartbreak he had encountered moments before.

"What do you mean?" Irma inquired.

"Irma, I know that you are trying to be nice and all, but I would rather not talk about it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to leave." Caleb said while beginning to walk past Irma.

"Leave? But, where will you go?" Irma called after him.

"I don't know. For now, I'm going somewhere to gather my thoughts." Caleb responded.

Caleb left Irma standing on the sidewalk, shocked. How could Caleb leave like that when he is the father to Cornelia's newborn son? How can I possibly tell Corny that Caleb deserted her when he found out he was a father? Irma thought as she picked up her packages to take to Will's surprise birthday/ surprise engagement party.

The End of Chapter 2.

Whatever you are thinking right now, don't worry. This story is Caleb x Cornelia and will be all the way. Please review and let me know what you think.

A/N: 11-24-06 After I read somebody's review, I realized that some of you may take this chapter the wrong way. Caleb doesn't know that the baby is his, okay? He thinks that Cornelia had that baby with Matt. Remember, he interpreted the conversation between Matt and Cornelia wrong. He thinks that Matt is going to break up with Will. (aka. "It's good that he likes me because I'm going to be around a lot if Will feels the same way I know I feel about her. I can't go on like this without telling her how I really feel deep down in my heart. How do you think she'll react?" -MATT. Caleb just took it the wrong way. Caleb and Cornelia were meant for each other, I'm not going to tear them apart! Please Review and let me know how this chapter is.
