Chapter 51

Caleb

After she left I continued with my work. Jason was calling but the words he said weren't what I was expecting. When he said his mother knows where she is and she has a child. I didn't think after that. I ended the call and ran out. I didn't tell my parents.

When Max saw me running out he knew something was up. I told him what I wanted him to do. When we got to the hospital and I saw her, My heart felt relieved. My son, I held him and I was so proud of her and thankful that I had a second chance with them.

I looked down at her. “ Baby girl,your scars don't bother me. If you want to get rid of them that's okay too but for now ,I want them, especially Catherine to see you this way. So she understands That she fucked up “. I said, taking her mouth, kissing her hard and deep.

“ Fuck ,I need to get you out of here or I'll cave and fuck the life out of you baby girl ” ,I squeezed her breast and that little pearl of milk just got to me. I leaned over and licked it which made her moan, her hands instantly went to my head.

I sat up and looked at her. “ Let's go . Our son is probably awake “. I said, tugging her up to stand next to me.

When we walked back out , Gertrude just smiled,He was indeed awake and fussing.

“ So Cross. I won't be returning to Payson. They'll look for me along with her and they'll probably think we're together and if I'm in Payson they'll know she's there too. I'll go spend some time with my sister in Phoenix ” , Gertrude said.

“ Okay, we'll drop you off first. They'll both stay at Holly's until tomorrow night “.

“ Okay,so have you two decided on a name?”.

“ Cyrus ” ,I answered quietly.

“ Good”.

We dropped Gertrude off then headed to Payson. When we landed I saw Jason waiting on the tarmac under one of the lights. When the doors opened he walked up the few flights of stairs,the minute he saw her he stopped for a second. I was holding Cyrus. He walked over to her and hugged her.

I guess he cares more than he would like to admit. He pulled away and looked at her.

“ We need to get your face back to normal. I'm happy you're still here” ,He said looking at her.

“ I'm happy too”.

He walked over to me , I handed Cyrus to him and he backed away.

“ I may drop him ”, He said, so I pulled my hand away, holding him closer to me.

“ What's his Name ?”,

“ Cyrus. You ,Cindy and Mom are going to be battling big time ”, I said, turning my hands so he could see him properly.

“ Let's go. I've got Nathan and a few more watching to make sure no one sees us” ,I said.

“ Yea Nathan told me too. I have a few men looking out too. My mother landed a few minutes ago with Taufik. She doesn't know that Aria's already left”. He said looking out the windows.

“ Come on, let's go!” She said, grabbing her bags. After we made sure we weren't being watched we stepped out and got into the cars. Someone called Max and all he said was okay. He looked at me in the rearview mirror.

“ We need to make a stop at the police station” , he said.

When we pulled up to the police station, Chief Matthew was waiting at the back, Showing Max where to park. The minute the door opened he looked at me and shook his head.

“ Boy, I've got your momma, Your daddy, Your sister, that crazy friend of yours and the nutcases from the cafe in my office “. He said with a sigh. When she opened the door and came out , I saw the relief in his eyes. She walked over to him and hugged him.

“ I'm home ”, that was all she said, he just hugged her and patted her back.

“ It's good to have you home. They're waiting for you”. He said, looking towards the door. When we walked in the minute they saw her They grabbed onto her.

“ I'm okay Holly, Amanda I'm okay I promise ” ,

“ I thought I lost you, Just like I lost Cass”, my mother said, holding onto her.

“Wait . Where is the witch?”, I asked them. They started laughing.

“ She's in the Cafe, Babysitting “. Grace said

“ Alright, Alright. Let me see.my grandson” ,My father said walking over towards me.

“ Say Hello to Cyrus Everyone”. I Said turning him around so they could see him. He was awake.

“ God damnit. How come he had the same eyes. Why didn't I have them too? I'm your child too dad” Cindy said,

“ Shut up Brat. Want to hold him mom?”, she nodded. I handed him to her and she began crying.

“ Boy look what you've caused, Making my wife cry” ,my dad said.

“ I'm sorry, it's happy tears. If only Cass was here. I'm so proud of you sweetheart. Come in Holly, Here's your nephew” . She said, handing Cyrus to Holly. I saw the tear she tried to hide.

Aria

After they all got a good amount of baby love we left. Holly and Ryan drove me back to Holly's place. Holly always had a room for me. I didn't want to invade Their privacy,it seems like they've been living together since I disappeared. After Ryan helped get us settled in he was about to leave.

“ Ryan, you don't have to leave on account of me. I won't be here for long. I will probably head over to the resort tomorrow”. He looked bashful.

“ That's not why I'm leaving. We're going to take care of something, plus the two of you need to get back in touch. She missed you like crazy, Cried almost everyday for an entire year.” ,he said looking towards the kitchen where Holly was.a

“ Was he Miserable?”. I asked him

“ The night it happened Jason was with him Jason told me he threw a table or a true something into the TV smashing the TV he broke everything he got his hands on for the first couple of months he was drinking he basically became an alcoholic and then after that he started pretending that he was drinking in order to make everyone believe he was the last car he worked he went home he locked himself away that was all he did he was going crazy without you”.

“ Hurry up and marry my sister Ryan. We'll end this”. I said looking at him. He smiled and left. After I made sure Cyrus was asleep Holly and I ate dinner. She told me everything that happened, with her and Ryan. Caleb and his family. Mya and Grace. The cafe and the business. I believe she kept the business and she still deposited my money into a separate account. She kept the Cafe open in my memory. I hugged her.

“ You are the greatest Friend ever “.

“ You are too ,What do you have in store for That Bitch”. she said smiling.

“ I haven't told Caleb yet but she's the one that ruined my face. When the Resort is open I'll go stay there. I'll have Amanda stay with Cyrus and we'll play Hide and seek with Catherine “.

She started laughing because our version of hide and seek was intended to make you lose your mind. And that's what Will happen to her. After sitting and talking we headed to bed. I was afraid to close my eyes. I tossed and turned for what felt like hours until.The phone Caleb left me started vibrating. I checked and it was a message.

“ It's okay baby girl, go to sleep. There's cameras in the house and someone is always watching over you both. You can sleep”.
