Chapter 14

1 week later

Martin was beside himself today was the day they got to bring Eddie home. He knew he was still recovering, but he was going to be home with him, and that was all he cared about. Frasier took the day off to drive him to pick up Eddie. Frasier laughed he has never seen his Dad so excited before. One other time was when David was born, he couldn't get to the hospital fast enough to see him. This would come in a close second to that day. Frasier was so happy to see his Dad so happy, and full of hope, he was starting to think he would never see that again. Eddie had some touch, and go moments, but he was a fighter just like his Dad. They were leaving the house when Mrs. Cooper came out to go shopping. She saw Martin, and Frasier, and turned to go back into her apartment.

"Mrs Cooper wait please". She turned, and Martin walked down the hall.

"I want to say sorry for my horrid behavior after Eddie was hurt. I was so upset , I blamed you , but it was all my fault. I let go of his leash, and yelling at you like that was unforgivable. I wanted to come, and say sorry to you so many times, but ask my son here saying sorry is a hard thing for me to do. I hope someday you can forgive me, but I have wonderful news Eddie is coming home, he is going to be alright"

Mrs Cooper walked over giving Martin the biggest hug, and whispered, "I prayed for him, and you ever day Martin, I will never forgive myself"

"No it wasn't your fault"

"It was I know I bother you everyday, but I'm lonely, I know people try to get away from me, but I'm in your face. I promise you, I will not bother you anymore unless you want to talk to me sometime"

"Oh Mrs Cooper I like talking to you, but sometimes, I just get grumpy, and want to get going, but never feel like you can't talk to me, that would hurt, that I made you feel that way"

She smiled, "Maybe someday , I can visit Eddie if you don't mind"

"Well my Family are coming over after I bring him home. I would like you to join us for lunch if you like"

"I would like that very much, maybe I can bring dessert"

"Daphne already has that covered just bring yourself"

"Thanks Martin, I will be there". Martin smiled they got on the elevator, she went on her way, and Martin, and Frasier got in their car, and were off to pick up Eddie.

"Dad that was pretty nice of you, I'm proud of you for saying sorry to her"

"I knew, I was wrong , but I was angry Frasier. She is a good woman but she really is lonely where is her Family they never visit, I hate that they live 10 minutes away for God sake"

"Dad don't get angry maybe they are busy"

"Frasier there is no reason not to visit your Mother, I can't believe you would even say that"

"Your right but don't say this to her, I'm sure she feels bad enough that they don't visit"

"Well someone should put them in their place"

"Dad please stay out of this, lets focus on Eddie right now"

"Of course Frasier you don't have to say that to me"

"I know Dad he will be home soon"

Martin smiled, and Frasier smiled back at him.
