AN: Well, it comes time for mother and daughter to meet, and then Selena returns home to mend what happened there.
Chapter Six: Broken Bridges
David woke up early in the morning, realizing that he slept on the window sill. Trying to get the crick out of his back, he stood on his hardwood floor, stretching, and looking around. Selena was out of bed, and in the living room most likely. David gave one last stretch and yawn, before exiting the room. There he saw Stella and Louis talking to Selena, barraging her with questions.
Oh, god. Here we go. David said. Once they spotted him, Stella and Louis brought him into another room, and began to question him as well.
"What is this?" Stella asked him.
"A door. It allows entry into other rooms in a household." David said, assuming that she was pointing towards the door of the room that they were in. Stella and Louis exchanged a look, and in perfect unison, smacked David in the back of the head.
"Ha ha, smart ass, what she meant was who that girl claiming to be your daughter?" Louis asked him again.
"My daughter." David said. The two of them looked at David in total disbelief.
"Well, she is." David said again. Stella looked back at Selena, and then back at David.
"Well, you do look alike." Stella said.
"Yeah, and the way she looks and the way that she acts screams Alex and David." Louis replied in agreement with his sister.
"How did she get here?" Stella asked him.
"She came here after an argument with Alex in her time period, and she came here in an effort to make things better between them." David said. " Justin and I are going to send her back tonight, though."
"Has she met Alex yet?" Stella asked.
"No, not yet." David answered. "I am going to introduce the two later today."
"So, David. Do you really think that things are going to go well?" Stella asked him.
"Honestly? I really do hope so, but I am not banking on it." David said.
"Don't worry, I have a good feeling that things are going to go really well." Stella said, playfully messing up his hair.
"Good, I really do hope so." David said with a smile.
David and Alex were out at an restaurant early one Saturday evening. Alex looked at David, who was busy looking out the window. She known David for a long time, and he could tell with him when something was wrong, or that something was bothering him.
"David, what's wrong?" Alex asked him. David looked at his girlfriend, and smiled.
"Alex, I have something at home I need to show you." David said.
"Okay, but why are you acting as if something is about to happen?" Alex smiled.
Because something might happen. David thought. "No reason, there is something that I was thinking about lately."
"Well, let's finish up here, because I want to see what you have at home to show me." Alex said, smiling at him. David just sat there, smiling, of course he was worrying about the impending meeting between Alex and their daughter, Selena.
Alex could literally feel David's nervousness as he opened the door to his home. He quietly opened the door, and stepped inside. David motioned her to the couch, and sat down, kind of anxiously.
"Stay here." David said. David walked towards his room, and entered it. Alex could hear him talking with some female. Her thoughts immediately went to the possibility of him having someone else, but then why would he bring her hear to meet this girl. David soon opened the door, and stepped outside.
"David, who were you talking to?" Alex asked him. She was really getting worried now, because she had no idea what was about to happen.
David didn't say a word, but he did motion for someone to come out of his bedroom. Once the girl exited the room, the girl looked at Alex, and Alex's eyes met hers.
"David, who is this?" Alex asked her.
"Our daughter." David said.
"Our daughter?" Alex asked him again. David nodded, and Alex eyes quickly shifted to the 15 year old right before them. It was like Alex was looking at her twin. She saw features in the girl that came from both David and Alex. Selena walked over, and took a seat right next to Alex.
"Mom?" Selena said.
Alex looked over at David, and all he could do was nod his head.
"I guess I am your mom." Alex said, shrugging her shoulders. Selena gave her a teary smile, and hugged her future mom. Alex sat there for a minute, and then hugged her daughter back.
David walked over, and hugged his family. He looked at the clock, and realized that it was time for her to go back in time.
Justin, William, Alex, Selena, and David were sitting in the middle of the park late at midnight. Justin gathered what he needed in order to send Selena back to her rightful time. As Justin and William put the stuff together, Mother and Daughter (Alex and Selena) were having a chat. David looked up, and saw the portal open.
"Okay, come on Selena. It's time to go." Justin said.
Selena smiled, and gave her future mother a teary hug.
"See you soon, mom." Selena said. Alex smiled, but she noticed a smudge on her face. Alex licked her thumb, and wiped it off.
"EW! MOM!" Selena squealed in embarrassment. Justin, William, and David let out a snicker of laughter as she broke away from her. She looked at the group of friends looking at her with somewhat sad looks on their faces.
"Don't worry, we will meet again." Selena said with a smile. "See you then."
With those last words, she was gone. Alex turned to David, and placed her hands on his shoulders, crying softly.
"That's one hell of a kid that we have." David said.
"I know. I miss her already." Alex said, wiping away some tears.
"Don't worry, we are going to see her soon." David said with a smile.
15 YEARS IN THE FUTURE...
Selena felt her feet hit the ground right outside her home. Her father's car was gone, and she figured that he might have left the home in an attempt to go and look for her. She looked towards her bedroom window, and saw the lights on in her room. She knew that her mom was inside her room, crying possibly. Selena quickly entered the home, and ran towards the room. She stopped short of her front door, and took a deep breath, preparing herself for what was about to happen.
"Mom?" Selena calls softly, opening the door. She looks in, and sees her mother sound asleep in her bed, holding a picture of her when she was born. Selena then looks at her face, and sees the tear stained pain in her face. Selena fights back tears of her own, and lays on her bed by her mom. Almost on instinct, Alex wraps her arms around her daughter, and Selena goes to sleep like that.
"I'm sorry, mommy." Selena said as a tear rolls down her cheek as she closes her eyes.
David walked into his home, and almost immediately walked towards his daughter's room. He saw the door lightly cracked. David peeked in, and saw his two girls sleeping peacefully.
David smiled, and shut off the lights, letting his girls sleep peacefully.
THE END
