Chapter 5

Cartman's POV

"Daddy, why did that lady hit you?" Kayla asks just as confused as I am.

"Daddy?" Wendy looks down at Kayla, then back at me. I can see the anger in her eyes. "You have a daughter?"

"Excuse me a second Kay." I grab Wendy's arm and pull her to the side. "What the hell was that? Why did you slap me?"

Wendy jerks her arm away. "Four years and no phone call? You didn't even say goodbye! What the fuck Cartman?"

"I said goodbye the last time I saw you."

"That was a goodbye like see you later, not four years later!"

I look down. "I'm sorry."

"That's all you have to say?" She looks at Kayla. "Now you have a daughter?" She frowns. "Don't tell me..."

I nod. "Yes, Heidi and I have a daughter..."

Wendy scowls. "I can't believe this!"

"Well believe it because it's true."

She lightly shoves me. "You told me you two weren't having sex!"

I nod. "At the time we weren't."

"Why didn't you tell me when you did? I would've stayed away!"

I shrug. "It happened one time. I didn't tell anyone."

"I'm not anyone! We had something special...at least I thought we did!"

I nod. "We did."

"Then why did you leave me hanging? You got Heidi pregnant!"

I point at Kayla. "You see I have a daughter, right? She's the reason. Heidi told me she was pregnant so I had to be with her. I refused to let Kayla grow up without a dad like I did."

Wendy raises her eyebrow. "Are you sure she's yours? I mean she doesn't look anything like you."

I frown. I mean she has a point, Kayla is a mini version of Heidi. I hear it all the time in Vermont. However, DNA tests prove she's mine. "Of course she's mine! What are you implying?"

"I guess Heidi trapped you!"

I shake my head. "She didn't trap me."

"Then that means you played me for a fool!"

"No I didn't! Everything I said to you were my true feelings!"

"Yeah right!" She folds her arms and turns away.

"It's true. I had to leave with Heidi to be there for my daughter." I put my arms around her. She turns back towards me. "There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't think about you."

"Really?" I see a smile hint of a smile.

"Yes. I still love you Wendy."

"I love you too Cartman." She grabs me and pulls me into a kiss. I can feel her tongue slide into my mouth. I haven't had a passionate kiss like this in years. I've been missing out. Wendy pulls away. "I can't do this..."

"Why not?"

"I have a boyfriend." I notice she's blushing a bit.

I frown. "So why the hell have you been giving me hard time?"

"Because you left without a word so many years ago! It's been four years, did you really think I would stay single?"

She has a point. "Let me guess, you're with Stan?"

Wendy seems taken aback. "How did you know?"

"He's always had a crush on you. I didn't think he was your type anymore."

"We were in college together. We didn't know anyone but each other and we bonded from there. One thing led to another and now we're together. Since I didn't know where you were, I had to move on."

She could've spared me the details. "I understand."

"Well I guess I better let you get back to your daughter." Wendy states pointing at Kayla.

I turn and look at her. "Yeah, she's probably wondering what's taking so long."

"It was nice seeing you Cartman."

I nod. "Likewise. I'll be here for awhile, we'll have to hand out sometime...if your boyfriend is ok with it."

She smiles. "I would like that." She leaves and head back to the table with Kayla. I'm glad I ran into Wendy. I really missed her sweet voice. She's nothing like Heidi. If I were with you, she would treat me with nothing but love and kindness instead of hate and contempt. I can't change the past, but maybe I can work towards somehow having a future with Wendy.

Heidi's POV

I've finally made it to South Park. It took me a few days to get here by bus. I had borrow money from my friend Collin just so I could get a bus ticket. That's the downside of not having a job. The first place I go, is to my parent's house.

"Heidi?" Dad greets me and pulls me into a hug. "Are you on break?"

"Something like that." I tell him as I walk into the house. He closes the door.

"What does that mean?"

"I'm kind of on a mission."

Dad raises his eyebrow. "What kind of mission?"

"Umm...just to visit some old friends!" I lie.

"You don't want to see your mom and me?"

I hug him again. "Of course! I missed you guys!"

"This is the first time you've come home during your break."

"That's because I work."

Dad eyeballs me suspiciously. "You don't get vacation time?"

I nod. "The breaks are the only times I can work full time so I take advantage." I lie again.

"I see."

"I need to take care of a few things and I promise I'll spend the rest of the time here with you and mom."

"I'm going to hold you to that." He hugs me again. "I know you're a woman of your word. My perfect daughter!"

"Umm…yeah…" I pull away. "I better go."

As soon as I leave, the first place I go is to Eric's mother's house. I'm pretty sure that's where he is so I might as well start there. I ring the doorbell and Ms. Cartman answers. She looks shocked to see me. "Heidi?"

"Hi Ms. Cartman. Is Eric here?" I ask her.

"Not at the moment."

"But he was here within the last week or so, right?"

She nods. "Yes he was…" She narrows her eyes. "Kayla is with him."

My eyes widen. "Kayla?"

She nods. "I know all about your daughter with Eric. I think we should talk since they're out."

I nod in agreement. "Yes we should…" She gestures for me to come inside. I'm sure she's heard Eric's "version" of things, it's time for her to the truth…
