Taking Chances

Chapter 14 - It's a girl

Patricia's POV

I was making sure everything was ready and in it's place, I prepared the food for when they arrive and already set the table. Catherine was coming home and she said she was bringing someone for us to meet.

She called me last week

"Hello Mam"

"Hello sweetie"

"How are you and dad?"

"We're great, we miss you"

"I miss you too"

"When are you coming?"

"Next week but the kids are not coming, they'll spend summer break with their father"

"Oh I miss my beautiful babies"

"They miss you too, they're coming on thanksgiving"

"Ah that's great"

"Mam, actually I'm bringing someone I want you to meet"

"Is that so, who is it?"

"I met her a few months ago"

"Oh"

"She's really special"

"Alright then darling, we'll be waiting you"

I was curious about this girl, Catherine is very serious about relationships with anyone in her life so if she's bringing her here she must be really special.

"Was that Catherine?" My husband asked

"Yes honey, she's sending you a hug" he smiled, she's daddy's girl.

"When they're coming?"

"Next week but she said the kids are with their father so they're not coming"

"Ah what a pity I was eager to see my grandchild"

"She's bringing someone though"

"Who?"

"It looks like she's dating someone and it's a girl"

"A girl?"

"Yes, she sounded happy".

David was picking them up from the airport, we were anxious to meet this girl, Catherine sounded happy on the phone.

When they arrived I quickly went to the entrance to greet them, I missed my girl.

"Oh mam is so good to see you" Catherine said hugging me. I'm always trilled when my baby is home. When I eased my grip around her and let go of our embrace I saw a girl smiling at us.

"Mam this is Isabella, Isa this is my mam"

"It's very nice to meet you Mrs Jones" the girl said smiling, she looked like a nice girl, quite young thought.

"Is nice to meet you, please call me Patricia" I said shaking her hand and leading us to the living room. I went to prepare us tea as Catherine gave her a tour of the house. When they got back we sat and talked, I got to know Isabella, she's a very sweet girl.

After dinner Isabella was in the living room with David, my other son and my granddaughter, they were looking at old family albums, I was in the kitchen with Catherine.
