Chapter 2:
The warm spring air felt wonderful as it rushed past her. In his stroller Issac raised his hands in the air, morning jogs were one of his favorite things. He was a happy baby and for that she was glad. The weather had been her enemy at one point, but now she loved it….well so long as it was warm. She hated the snow..she hated the cold, it brought on memories she didn't want to think of. When they got to the playground she slowed to a walk and stopped by the swings. As she took Issac out of his stroller she felt their eyes on her. The eyes of the other moms at the playground. They always stared at her, she had never understood why young mothers were always judged so harshly. She was pregnant at the age of seventeen and gave birth when she was eighteen. Perhaps it wasn't her age that was the problem though. She had seen on TV that other women looked down on single moms on some shows she watched…maybe it was that? Ana pushed the thoughts aside and focused on Issac. He was her rock and she was blessed to have him in her life.
"Here we go." she smiled as she pushed him lightly
A flash of red passed by a ways from her and the women stared buzzing after it passed by. She looked up and saw Tala in the distance with Bryan not far behind him. Since he had moved in the two had begun jogging together, it seemed at though Bryan had a long lost family member back. The four boys were like a band of brothers and she was on the outside looking in, but at the same time felt like she belonged as well. The feeling was awkward and soothing all at once. She had never really belonged anywhere but here she felt like she did, but at the same time now that Tala was living in the house she felt like she sorta didn't belong because of the way he had been behaving towards her and her child. It made her angry, but at the same time she felt there must be a reason for it. The past month she kept telling herself that every time a door was closed in her face or he grabbed his food and ate in silence within his room he just wanted his space.
She looked at Issac and still found it strange how he resembled their redheaded room mate. The two of them had never once met in their lives, yet the similarities were uncanny. Eventually she would probably admit it out loud but for now she would think the thoughts of how creepy it was to herself.
"So what do you want for dinner?" she asked her baby as she lifted him from the swing.
"We have to start heading back home, everyone will be hungry just like you."
"Probably giving herself to all the boys at home." one of mothers said loudly enough to hear.
"To think, she couldn't keep her legs closed in high school and now she has a child and is living in a house full of men." another said
Ana stood up and ignored the voices. She didn't care anymore about anyone else but Issac and of course the guys who had made her life a better place. Strapping him in she started heading home.
"Hey." a familiar voice came up behind her.
She looked and saw Bryan stop next to her and smiled.
"Hey." she smiled " Look at you outside and off of work at the same time."
"Yea. It feels good. I should've been doing this a long time ago. I wish it was colder though."
"No way. Issac can't be outside for too long if its cold. Oh hey what do you want for dinner?" she asked
He thought for a second to himself. Issac leaned over the edge of his stroller and looked at Bryan smiling.
"Spaghetti." he finally said.
"Stop spoiling him. He needs to eat lots of different foods. You always say that when I ask you about dinner." she frowned.
"I cant help it the kid is very persuasive. He has these mental powers that make me want to give him everything he wants." he explained while scratching the back of his lilac-colored head.
"Its really hard to believe all you guys used to be all tough and mean and stuff." Ana admitted
"Things change and people change. When I look back on it I can blame my crappy childhood but in the end, the things I did were a decision I made. When Ian, Spencer, and I moved here together we made a pact that we would be better people and make a living the right way. No more stealing, no more bullying, no more fights, and in Spencer's case cut back on the drinking A LOT."
He stepped in front of them and grabbed the bottom of the stroller to help lift it up the steps. He was about to open the door but she grabbed his arm.
"I was wondering, um is there anything I can do to make him be nicer to Issac?" she asked unsure.
Bryan narrowed his eyes at her for a moment before realizing who she had been speaking about. He opened the front door and stalked inside leaving her behind.
"Where's Tala?" he growled
"Stop." she ordered.
He turned around to face her. Ian and Spencer sat quietly on the couch both sets of eyes on her. She then smiled sweetly at him before saying,
"I worded that wrong, what I meant was how can I make him more comfortable around Issac he seems nervous around kids."
It was that very smile she always gave that told him to go with it. Bryan was a man who wasn't to be swayed easily but anytime she looked at him like that he obeyed, they all did. Each of the three of them had a soft spot for her since she was like a sister, but when she gave them that look…well neither of them would admit it, but it scared them a little.
