Their Love
Chapter 6
Cornelia ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Tree after tree, house after house, they all became a blur as Cornelia ran to the park where she knew that Caleb most likely would be. She didn't understand why Caleb would leave when he found out that he was the father of her son.
That definitely didn't sound like the Caleb that she fell in love with. When they had been talking about their future, they had decided that they both wanted large families. They knew what the consequences were of their last night together before Caleb left, but they had still gone through with it. Even though it was both of their first times, they knew that there was a possibility that she could have gotten pregnant. Cornelia knew that there was no way on Earth, or any other worlds, that she would regret having little Tom. He was her life when Caleb was gone.
Cornelia began to slow down to a walk as she reached the park. She quickly composed herself and began to scan the occupants of the park. There weren't many people in the park and Cornelia felt her heart rate speed up when she saw a head of messy brown hair. Secretly she had been hoping that the whole "Caleb incident" was some kind of sick joke made by Irma. Knowing that Caleb was indeed here made Cornelia wonder why Caleb would run away when he found out that he was a father.
There was only one way to find out why. Cornelia began to walk over to Caleb but stopped when she saw Hay Lin approach Caleb and began to talk to him. Cornelia stepped behind a nearby tree and listened to their conversation:
" . . . I know, the Big Surprise!" Caleb had said.
Cornelia's heart fluttered when she heard his voice. He had that kind of effect on her.
"You know what it is already?" Hay Lin asked.
"Yes, and just so you know, I don't really think it's that much of a big surprise. It really depends on how you interpret it." Caleb responded sadly.
Cornelia felt her heart drop. How could Caleb not think that little Tom was a big thing? She was about to jump out and strangle Caleb when she heard Hay Lin explaining the situation to Caleb, while laughing.
"Oh, Caleb, now I understand what you're talking about." Hay Lin laughed out.
Cornelia listened to the rest of the conversation. She began to realize that somehow Caleb thought that the baby was Matt and hers. Cornelia almost laughed out loud at the idea. She stifled the laugh. Oh poor Caleb, he could be so dense sometimes. He had always been insecure of their so perfect love. He knew that he loved her, but love was a new feeling for him and he never knew how it worked. He had always been one to understand things that could be proven, but love was an abstract thing. Cornelia never doubted their love for each other, they were destined to be together and nothing interferes with destiny.
"….She loves you." Hay Lin finished her explanation.
Cornelia decided that this was her cue to step in. "Yes, she does. She loves you very much."
When Caleb turned around and their eyes met, Cornelia felt as if she would melt on the spot. It had been ten long months without staring into those eyes that could just pull you in and make you feel as if you were drowning.
Hay Lin noticed that she had to break up their staring contest so that they could talk about what they needed to. "Uhm, well, I have to go and set up for the party before Will gets there. I guess I'll see you guys at the party, right? Ok, bye." Hay Lin quickly ran away from the scene. She couldn't stand all of the mushy-mushy scenes between the two love sick puppies.
Cornelia broke herself away from the stare between her and Caleb. "So, Caleb, it's nice to see you again." She was nervous about talking to Caleb, after he had been gone for so long.
"Yeah, you too." Caleb answered, almost in a whisper.
"So, why are you ba . . ." Cornelia was cut off from talking. You see, talking is highly impossible when another pair of lips are covering your own. Their kiss was anything but soft. Their hunger for each other was quite visible while they were kissing. Caleb softly bit on Cornelia's lower lip. Cornelia gasped and Caleb took this opportunity to explore her mouth. Just being able to taste her mouth again made Caleb feel like he had died and gone to heaven. He let one of his arms snake around her side and rest on the small of her back. He let the other one drift up and get tangled in Cornelia's long golden hair, while Cornelia wrapped her arms around Caleb's neck and quickly pulled him closer to her. They would have been in this situation for the whole night if they hadn't been interrupted.
The elderly lady that was previously feeding birds had decided that it was time to go home. When she walked past Cornelia and Caleb, she decided that this kind of behavior was inappropriate to be displayed in public. "Ahem, excuse me. Young children come to this park and I don't think that their mothers would be too happy for them to see this."
The young couple quickly pulled away, blushing. The elderly lady walked away shaking her head. Cornelia smoothed her hair down and shyly allowed herself to look at Caleb. When her eyes met his intense gaze, she was forced to look back down.
"Hey, don't be like that. Are you embarrassed to be here with me?" Caleb asked while placing a finger under Cornelia's chin to raise her eyes to meet hers.
"No. It's just that you have been gone for a long time and Irma told me about . . ." Cornelia began, but Caleb interrupted her.
"No, I think that it's best if I explain. You see, I came to your apartment earlier this morning and overheard you and Matt talking. I thought that the baby was yours and Matt's. I know what the truth is now, and I am sorry for thinking so foolishly before. Do you forgive me?" Caleb asked Cornelia.
"Of course I do. I love you and I can never be mad at you for too long." Cornelia said while placing a soft kiss on Caleb's lips.
When they broke away, Caleb said, "I want you to know that I am deeply, sincerely sorry and I don't know what got in to me. I guess that since I was gone for a long time, I thought that you might leave me. You and Matt have always had a close relationship, but I know that you guys are only really good friends. I never thought that I would be so lucky to be nineteen and already have a child with the woman that I love."
Caleb paused for a minute before continuing, "By the way, what did you name our child?"
Cornelia smiled and responded, "I named our son Tom. I hope you like it."
"I think that Tom is absolutely perfect, just like his wonderful mom." Caleb replied before standing up and pulling Cornelia beside him. He wrapped his arms around her and placed a soft, gentle kiss on her lips, before he lead the way home. As they walked away into the sunset, they knew that every thing would be okay. Ever since day one, they were destined to be together, and nothing would stand in the way. What ever problems that may arise, they new that they had a power that could defeat anything: their undying, pure love for each other.
