Summary: Helen writes a letter...

Notes: This tie's in with Star Celestial...

Words that were never read

Dear Parker

I've got to hand it to Sunny, when she said that she felt that the only reason that you were pushing me away was because you didn't want me to wait years for you to come of prison, I thought she was trying to ease the pain of our 'breakup.'

Now I'm confused, do you love me or not Parker? Because if you are stringing me along, god help me, I will give your name to Lee and Jeff and they can have what's left of your carcus after the girls and I have taken our piece.

(Lee is my older brother and Jeff is Sunny's husband and practically my other brother from another mother, they have been wanting to 'meet' you for a while…)

Yes, I returned to the States after you ripped my heart to shreds, the only reason I got your letter is because Sylvie and Terra took pity on you and passed your return to sender letters onto me, which I only now decided to read, I wanted to be closer to my mother and Sunny because…

Well, I owe Sunny and the rest of the girls, not to mention my family and apology because I lied to them.

Because I told them our daughter was a result of a one night stand with some random guy on a rebound from our bad break up…

Yes, you read that correctly, OUR daughter, Piper Harriet Taylor was born on the 17th of June 2037.

I chose to name her Piper, because I know that was your mother's name, and that you loved her very much (Yes, I may have read your file to get your late mother's name), Harriet is my mother's name.

Taylor is my last name, I didn't give her yours because I was pretending that I didn't know who you were… My real name is Helen, just so you know, while we are on the topic of names… But that can be fixed if you choose to be part of your Daughter's life…

Pipe is an adorable kid, but I'm biased, and she has everyone wrapped around her little fingers - She had Sunny's oldest boy put out, on the day she was born, because little Scotty thought she was his newest sibling, even though little Johnny wouldn't be born until October that year, and the then three-year-old wasn't happy she wasn't going home with his parents and little Virgie…

(Sunny has three boy's, I don't know how she and Jeff do it)

I still have trouble splitting up Pipe and Scotty, since he's always got to able to check where his siblings are and he doesn't like it when I take away his 'little sister' to go home.

I pity any boy (or maybe girl) that try's to steal Pipe away from Scotty's protection when she is older…

"Ma'am?" The sales clerk called out, breaking Helen Taylor's attention to the letter that she was trying to write to Aloysius Parker, a man that she had worked with before taking leave from intelligence agency she worked for with Lucy Tracy, Onaha Smith (soon to be Kyrano) and Allison Creighton-Ward.

There were two reasons to why she took this leave, the biggest one being the pregnancy and birth of her daughter.

The second one being she needed to get away from the memories, and the place where her heart had been broken.

She gave the letter that she was writing a glare, she had only just mustered the courage to read the letters that Parker had sent her from prison, that Sylvia had passed on to her when she paid Lucy and her a visit a couple of months earlier.

She had to get out of the house after reading them, so after leaving Piper with Lucy and the boys, she went to pick up some parts for the planes her mother, Harriet, used for the crop dusting business the Taylor family ran, taking the letters with her.

She had been trying to write a response while she waited, when the sales clerk had interrupted her, "Ma'am, the parts you have ordered are ready and have been loaded into your pickup."

"Thank you," Helen replied, as she signed a couple of forms and passed the clipboard back to the sales clerk. "Enjoy the rest of your day," she then got into her truck and left the lot.

The sales clerk would be the last person to see Helen alive.

The police report stated Helen was driving home, when a semi truck, carrying a highly flammable load, brakes failed at an intersection as she was driving past.

It wasn't known if Helen or the driver of the truck survived the initial crash, but the explosion of the semi truck, moments after the crash guaranteed that there were no survivors.

Parker's letters to Helen, as well as the beginning of her response to them, burned up in the fire that resulted from the crash…

Taking their secrets with them…

Notes: Piper was raised by her grandmother, Helen died in early 2039.
