Chapter 21-Forgiveness
Chad's POV
I get back home to see the kids lying on the couch, and I sigh.
"Everything OK, Chad?" Josh asks me, and I nod, trying to smile.
"Do you think you'll be OK when Dad comes?" I ask, and he shrugs.
"Maybe," He says, "Not likely though."
"Same." I say, sitting next to Abby, who's playing with the toy giraffe she got on her 1st birthday, only a few weeks before Dad left. I sigh, trying to ignore it, and I sit her on my lap as she giggles softly. I'm wondering if Dad will really be welcome here again. We're doing fine without him-we don't need him.
But, I'm gonna try and do what Sonny said and forgive him-I'm gonna be classified as an adult soon-I've got to just grow up. I'll try, but it's gonna be hard. I take a deep breath before getting up, smiling.
"I'm gonna go get lunch," I say to Josh, "Want a sandwich?"
"Sure." Josh says, and I leave to think for a little.
Sonny's always told me to try and see the good in people, to be forgiving. So she's my inspiration here. I'm going to try and turn the other cheek, as long as he shows me I can really forgive him.
I suddenly hear a knock on the door. Huh, maybe Sonny got a lift home and she forgot her key. I answer the door, but it's not Sonny.
Sonny's POV
Tawni drops me off home. I couldn't get hold of Chad, every time I called him the phone said he was busy, so I asked Tawni for a ride home.
"Remember," She says as I get out, "Tell him. You don't want him to be mad at you."
"Thanks, Tawni." I smile, shutting the car door as she drives off.
I walk up to the door, but realise I've forgotten the spare key Chad gave me, so I knock on the door.
"Chad?" I say as he opens the door, wearing a fake smile. "You OK?"
"Peachy." He says, and I sigh.
Girl up Sonny, I think, you can do this. "I need to tell you something…"
"Same." He says, "We have a problem."
"What's wrong?"
"Dad's here." He sighs.
"I thought you were gonna turn the other cheek?" I say, a little disappointed.
"I was." He says, "Until I saw he'd brought her with him."
Uh-oh. I walk into the room to see Josh and Abby, Josh trying as hard as Chad was to put on a fake smile. Then I see him-Chad's Dad, sat next to a fair-haired woman, smiley, kind. I sigh as she gets up, along with Chad's Dad. I've met him before, but now it's like I'm meeting someone new.
"Good to see you again, Sonny," He says to me. "This is Melanie, Melanie, this is Sonny, my son's ex."
I don't even know if I still am Chad's ex or not, but I smile, shaking her hand.
"It's good to see you again, Chris," I say, shaking his hand, before sitting next to Chad, who looks slightly freaked out by the sight of his Dad and another woman.
"So…" I say, trying to distract the sadness in the air, "Who wants dinner?"
I get up, leaving the room. Wow. This is awkward. I'm just hoping Chad's birthday gets over with fast, so Chris and Melanie can go home. All I know is, unless the air thins up a little, Chad's gonna have one hell of a birthday…
All I can say is, review! I'll update quicker then :)
