Hijacked Of Innocence Book II (Captive In Plain Sight - Eric & Tanya story)

Chapter 45. The Family

Tanya insisted that Eric come home to her and Ericka. "Ericka misses you; she asks about you everyday," Tanya told him.  

She had all his clothes and personal things moved to her suite. Becky  thought that Eric would do best if he was back in a familiar environment, like his old room. Tanya disagreed. "He will do just fine in my suite; in any case I need to be close to him to watch him in case anything medical develops," Tanya said.  

The morning Eric was discharged from the hospital, Sahita  made such a scene. She cried as if someone died.  "I will never see him; she will not let me see him; I know it," she cried. 

Eric looked at Tanya. And he knew that his mother visiting him was out of the question. "I will visit you Mom," Eric said.  

"You will?" Sahita asked.

"Yes," Eric answered.

Eric hugged her. And it took several people to pry her away from Eric.

As they drove up to the mansion, Eric looked at Lloyd. "What is this place? I thought we were headed home,"

"This is home buddy and guess who built it? You." Lloyd said.

Eric looked at Tanya. He could not believe this was their home. "You built this home Eric; as kids you always said that we would live on the moon, well this is our moon....that is what you told me."

"So you are the little scrawny girl I played with as a child? Yea little Tanya Johnson; I remember her, too bad I can't remember you," he said.

"You will....dont worry about it," Tanya said.

Becky ran out to greet them and could not help but hug Eric. "So glad you are finally home Mr. E," Becky said in tears. Eric knitted his brow wondering who the  woman was. 

"This is Becky; she is our right hand; we could not survive without her," Tanya said.

"Where is Ericka," he asked on entering the house. He couuld not wait to meet his daughter in person.

"Ericka goes to school three days per week," Tanya said.

"School? Isn't she only two? Who came up with the idea of sending a baby off to school?

Tanya and Becky looked at each other. "You did; she was two going on thirty; you thought that she needed to be around kids her own age and not just with adults," Tanya said.

Eric smiled. "I guess that makes sense."

After lunch he  felt tired and wanted to lay down. Tanya took him up to her suite and settled him in. He was in awe of the place. He still could not believe that this was their home. She told him to call  if he needed anything. He smiled to himself. He knew what he needed, but timing was everything.

Tanya picked Ericka up from school later that afternoon and mother and daughter were just so happy  to see each other.  Ericka ran into her mother's arm and Tanya couldn't  stop hugging and kissing  her little darling.  Of course Ericka wanted to know  where her mother  was and Tanya had to tell her....again that  she was at the hospital with Daddy.   Tanya told Ericka that she had a big surprise for her. Ericka loved surprises. When they got home Tanya took Ericka hand and walked her up the stairs. Tanya slowly opened the door. Ericka gasped.
