What Momma Don't Know

What Momma Don't Know (Chapter 6)

Chapter 6

Bringing Brailey around Ryan has come to be a lot easier than i thought it would be. They hit it off ever since the first day. Now when Brailey and i visit, Ryan has some new toy, or a new thing of o.j set aside just for him. Brai loves it. Ryan loves him. And i love them both. How perfect. A healthy picture of an oddly functioning family.

Today I had to go to store to buy Brailey some new clothes, and so i left him with Ryan. As i drove into the driveway, i dreaded seeing something that wouldn't please me. And i did. There was an unfamiliar car in the driveway, blocking me from getting to my spot. I parked along the sidewalk and let myself into Ryan's house. I dropped Brailey's bags and the floor, and looked for Ryan. He was sitting at his dining room table, with Brai in his lap, and he held a casual conversation with a young man in his early twenties. I walked in and kissed Brai on the cheek and sat down beside Ryan.

"Hello ma'am. My name is Peter Fretts. I am looking into a cold case over a Miss Jessica. I just came to question your husband on some things."

"Umm, Mr.Fretts is it?"

"Call me Peter."

"peter, i'm not married. And Jessica is my older sister. Wasn't she ruled over as being just a runaway case? She was, and i say this in a respectful manner, a crackhead and prostitute. It's not hard for people like that to run, hide, and stay hidden."

"True, true, but I have great suspiscions that you're sister may have been murdered."

"What an absurd assumption. Why would anyone want to kill someone of such low quality?"

"I don't know, but that's what i'm here to find out. I take it that Ryan here was Jessica's boyfriend."

"Yes."

"So who is the kid? If you don't mind me asking you so up front."

"My son."

"Who's the father?"

"I don't like to talk about that."

"Touchy subject?"

"Yes. Just stay out of that. If you can."

"I can and i will. Remember, i'm here for Jessica. Not for you or Mr.Ryan here. If you don't mind me asking, what's the kids name?"

"My name is Brailey."

"How cute. Okay Ryan, tell me were you and Jessica in love?"

"No. She loved her job and her drugs."

"Did you love her."

"No."

"Did you miss her when she showed up missing?"

"There was no point. She'd dissapear for months on end. No phone calls or anything. I was fed up. So i didn't worry any."

"And you Nicole?"

"No. I didn't miss her. As he said, she alwasy dissapeared. And it was for the better whenever she did. Things only went right when she wasn't around. She's the reason why my mother was an alchoholic. When she dissapeared, my mother cleaned up her act, and i finally got raised."

"I see. So my thoughts were correct. Whoever may have killed her, if she was killed, knew she wouldn't be missed."

"Exactly."

"Absolutely."

"Well, that was all of the questions i had to ask. I'm really glad i caught up to you Miss Nicole. I hopre all three of you have a good day, i'll be checking in with you when i find something new."

"Alright."

"Have a safe trip."

"Bring me o.j next time!"

"Okay Brailey! Bye for now."

Ryan and i stood in the driveway and watched him drive away. How odd. Why would anyone in their right minds care for Jessica's case. Of all the millions of people in America, this man chose my trashy sister. How pathetic. And what a waste of time. Jessica, Jessica, Jessica. Sorry, but your peaceful slumber is about to be interrupted.

"Baby?"

"Yes Ryan?"

"Did you think he'll find out?"

"No."

"I hope so."

"Guess what?"

"What?"

"After my twentieth test, i confirmed that i am pregnant again."

"Really? Wait, again?"

"Sorry, i was already pregnant once, and i have that in my mind set. But we're going to have a baby, Ryan!"

"When did you take the last test?"

"Before i went shopping for Brailey's clothes. I mean we've been at it for three months now, and i'm finally expecting!"

"This is amazing news! Brailey, you're going to be a big brother."

"Yesh, and i get new juice!"

"Yes baby, you do."

I directed Ryan and Brailey back into the house and locked the door. Telling the news to Ryan early was a good choice. At least he'd get his mind off of Jessica again. It just seemed to urk me that someone would come to my fiance's house asking about his ex. I hated it. The feeling it gave me.

===============================================================================

The kid was most definantly Ryan's. And the way he lite up when Nicole walked in gave away that they were in a relationship. Maybe an engagement. But why would they hit it off?  Where was the sense in that? Was it a pity relationship that later turned into love? Was it a support system they created that got a bit carried away? I didn't know. But i did know that that baby was. Who wouldn't? Someone would have to be stupid or blind to not notice it.

The story was getting more and more interesting. Everything was a big puzzle, and i swear i won't rest until i've finished it. Jessica, if you can hear me, i'm going to help you.

===============================================================================

Hope chu liked(:

( she's preggers again because she still has an insane and oddly sick kind of jealousy towards her dead sister, and so the second baby with Ryan will tie their knot and make him forever hers. Just in case if you didn't know)
