I had given Chase money so he could order I some dinner knowing I needed to go grocery shopping. Once I arrived at the bar Tara sent to me the address to I got nervous before going in. Here I was 32 having to make new friends. I was wearing a fair of blue jeans, black booties and a pink cap sleeved, v-neck t-shirt. I walked into the bar and looked around.

"SKYLAR!" I heard my name yelled and I looked to see Tara sitting at a high-top table with 2 other girls.

"Hey, sorry I'm late. I had to get Chase set up at home." I said and Tara shook her head as I took a seat.

"No big deal we just got here like 10 minutes ago. This is Shanna and Carly, friends of mine since forever. Girls this is Skylar, she just moved to town." She introduced us.

"Nice to meet you. Thanks for letting me crash girls night." I said and they shook their heads.

"The more the merrier honestly." Carly said and I smiled.

"Okay I have to ask you a question that had been bugging me." Tara said and I gave a small laugh.

"Okay..." I said and she laughed.

"How old are you?! I mean you look like late 20's but have a 16-year-old so that not possible." Tara said and I laughed.

"I'm 33." I said and they all looked at me doing the math.

"I had Chase at 17. Me and his dad we stupid and it was homecoming swore it wouldn't happen just the one time we didn't use anything and boom, we were wrong." I said and we all laughed.

"Were you and his dad together afterwards?" Shanna asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, we got married at 18 right out of high school and had been married ever since." I said and everyone smiled as I looked down at my empty ring finger. I had just started taking it off my wedding set.

"I noticed he wasn't with you when you moved, will he be joining you?" Tara asked and shook my head.

"Uh no...he was a firefighter and was killed on the job. Building went up faster than expected." I said and the girls all went silent.

"Girls, I'm okay honest. I figured getting out of New York was the best for Chase and I, so we did." I said and Tara placed her hand on mine that was on the table.

"Well we are here for you if you ever need girls to talk to." Tara said and the other girls reached across the table and place there hands on top of mine and Tara's and nodded.

"Thank you girls so much." I said smiling at them.

Later that night as I was leaving the bar I got a call from my mom. I groaned and got in my car answering the call.

"Hey mom." I said

"You didn't call when you get into town, I was worried." Lanie, my mom said.

"Sorry mom, Chase and I were just getting everything set up." I said.

"Where are you at? Are you out?" Lanie asked.

"Yes mom, Chase is at the new house with the dog and I went out to get some drinks and dinner with the relator and some of her friends to meet new people." I said.

"And what about Chase making new friends?" Lanie asked.

"We are looking about getting him into some summer programs he wants to do to meet kids his age. We have it covered." I said.

"I just don't want him to sit at home all summer with no friends watching those movies." Lanie said and I groaned. I knew she meant the Captain America movies.

"Mom, I don't have time for this. Listen why don't you and dad come for a visit soon, see the new place, I have the room and see your amazing grandson." I said.

"Perfect! We were just waiting on our invitation. Next weekend?" Lanie said and I gave a silent sigh.

"Yes that works. I will let Chase know and we look forward to seeing you and dad." I said.

"Sounds good." I said.

"Have Chase call us later." Lanie said.

"I will, I love you mom." I said smiling.

"Love you too Sky." She said and I hung up. I sighed and drove home. When I walked in I saw Chase asleep on the couch with Rascal in the floor by him, he had been watching tv and I smiled. I covered him up with a blanket on the couch and headed to set the house alarm. Once I did I looked at Rascal.

"You staying with him?" I asked and he just stayed there and I leaned against the doorframe and smiled looking at Chase.

*****FLASHBACK, 16 YEARS AGO*****

"We have a baby." 17-year-old me said to Wade as I stood holding Chase in our bedroom after feeding him.

"Can you believe we are going to pull this off?" Wade asked and I laughed.

"We haven't succeeded yet, have to at least get him to 18 and then he is the worlds problem." I said and Wade laughed.
"Wade, you are still okay with the choice to keep him right?" I asked and Wade looked at me confused.

"Are you second guessing it?" Wade asked and I shook my head.

"Hell no! I love him so much." I said and snuggled the baby even closer to me. Wade got up and wrapped his arms around me and 3-week-old baby Chase from behind me.

"Perfect because I wouldn't want anything else but you and Chase. It will always be the two of you Sky. You, Chase and me is all I'll ever need." Wade said and he pulled something from his pants pocket and I opened it in front of me and I saw a small diamond ring.

"I love you Sky, I want to make this family official. Chase has my last name and I want you to have it as well. Please marry me." Wade said and I smiled turning to look at me him with a smile on my face.

"Yes!" I said and he placed the ring on my finger and kissed me then kissed Chases head.

"You both are my world and I will do everything I can for the both of you even if it means sacrificing myself." Wade said and I shook my head.

"You are never allowed to leave us." I said and Wade smiled.

"Never Sky, I promise." Wade said and easily wrapped me and Chase in his arms.

*****END FLASHBACK*****

"You broke your promise jerk." I said in a whisper with a smile on my face as I wiped away the stray tears that started falling. I walked to my room and started getting ready for bed. As I crawled into bed I sighed seeing the empty side and groaned. It had been a year since I lost Wade and life was finally getting back to normal and getting a fresh start. Being with the girls tonight was the first time I had been out like that in a long time. It was time to start joining the real world again and maybe eventually dating again.
