The Taxi Driver

Chapter 45

Mandi dropped dead. "If anybody was gonna kill that bitch, it was going to be me." Sean said putting the gun down. Ross slowly let go of the unconscious man. Sean quickly ran over to go check on him. That was his only family after all. He walked away and approached Laura. She didn't know what to do. She stood still holding Isabella tightly into her arms. The little girl crying right before their eyes. Mr.Marano approached the couple. The little girl reached out for her father and he didn't hesitate to take her out of her arms. She sniffed.

"I'm really sorry I let this go this far." Sean apologized. Ross' glare nearly clawed him bare to the bone. The look said everything he wanted to say and do to the guy. He went back over to his uncle and stayed there. He shushed the crying baby but neither one of them said anything to the other. Mr.Marano hugged his daughter as she longed to be able to just hold them in her arms. But he didn't look at her and she could just hear the pieces of her heart drop into her stomach acid. She wanted to reach out but she couldn't.

He didn't know what he should do. Should he reach out to her? Should she reach out to him? "Ross..." She softly whispered. "Laura..." He whispered. She reached out towards the father of her future children and their child. Isabella responded better to her than he did. He was pretty pissed off at her for believing someone else over him when she told him she wouldn't. She slipped into the sandwich of Isabella being held tightly as tears kept spilling. He shook his head holding her tighter. "It's over." He whispered. She wrapped her arms around his neck and held him tighter than humanly possible.

"I'm so sorry. I was stupid. I-- She just kept..." She huffed. He nodded and kissed her head. "I love you so much." She said. Mr.Marano broke between the two and took the baby so they could have some private time. She chuckled running her hands through his messed up hair. "Sh...It's okay." He cupped her face wiping off the two tears last seen rolling down her cheek. "I'm right here." He leaned in kissing her softly. She held him closer and kissed him back. He smiled as Isabella clapped. They smiled.
