Second Chances

Chapter 20

A few weeks later Max just walked through the door from being on the road.

"I'm home." He said.

"We're in the kitchen sweetie." Darrian said. He went into the kitchen.

"Hi Max." Kaylie said.

"Hi." They hugged. He went over to Darrian.

"Hi." Darrian said. They kissed. "Dinner will be ready in a few minutes."

"Want to help me set the table Kaylie." He asked looking at her.

"Yeah." She said.

They were sitting at the table eating.

"Oh." Darrian said putting her hand to her stomach.

"What's wrong Darrian?" Max asked.

"Nothing." "He's kicking." "Kaylie come here." "Put your hand on mommy's tummy." Kaylie got up and did it. "Do you feel it?"

She smiled. "Yeah."

"Your brother is saying hi to us."

A few days later Max was back on the road. There was a knock on the door. When Max opened it two police officers were standing there.

"Maxwell Friedman?" One of them asked.

"Yes."

"You're under arrest." "Turn around." He did and was cuffed.

"What am I under arrest for?"

"Suspected child molestation."

"What?" He said shocked.
