Kentucky's Best

Chapter 21

Rose rolls over, raises her hand, brushes her hair out of her eyes and glances at the clock beside the bed, seeing it was almost 8am she throws the covers back and carefully stands up. Placing her hand on now large belly Rose makes her way to the bathroom, she is now 6 months pregnant and hasn't seen Harry since he and Steph moved out of her house 3 months ago.
When Gemma showed up at her house later that same night Rose told her what she was planning on doing. Gemma was so pissed at Harry for what he did she was the one that came up with the idea of Rose using her plane ticket and flying to England, staying with Anne for a while. Let Harry realize what he's lost and may never get back, that was 3 months ago and Rose didn't want to go home. She loves it here, Anne's home is beautiful and restful. Yeah she misses her pets and Stephanie more than anything in this world, but after what Harry said she didn't know if she would ever be able to look at him the same way again.

Harry walks into his house, goes to his room, sits on the bed and cries. He just left Rose's again, he's been going over there for months feeding the animals and hoping to see her if she ever decides to come home from wherever she disappeared to. He knows she probably won't give him another chance after what he did and said but he had to try, he misses and loves her so much. Harry did what Gemma said and checked his bank accounts, he was so shocked at what he saw, he had almost $300,000.00 in the bank, grabbing his wallet he pulls out a check of Rose's and typed in her account to check on hers to see she only had $1000.00 in hers, Harry lost it, especially when he saw Rose had used her money to buy all of Steph's new clothes, not his.
Hearing a light knock on his door Harry looks up to see Steph standing there. "What is it baby?" He asks.

Steph takes a few cautious steps into her dad's room. "When is Momma Rose coming home?" She asks quietly.

Harry motions her forward, then picks her up and puts her on his lap, placing the bag she's holding on the bed. "I don't know baby. Daddy messed up and hurt her, even if she comes home she may not want anything to do with me." He tells her. "She still love you Steph, she's just mad at me."

"Then can I use those for me baby dolls?" Steph asks, pointing at the bag. "Momma Rose said it was a secret and she was going to surprise you when we got home from shopping, but you started yelling and we left."

Harry frowns and picks up the bag to see what his daughter was talking about, when he pulls out several small newborn onsies, bibs and other items his heart literally stops beating. "Where did you get these?" Harry asks Steph in a whisper, barely able to speak around the large knot in his throat.

"Momma Rose bought them the day she took me shopping." Steph says with tears now running down her cheeks. "She said you would be happy when we showed them to you, but daddy, you wasn't happy. You made her cry and leave."

"Oh God." Harry cries as he hugs Steph to him and buries his head in her hair. "I'm so sorry baby. I'll find her I promise. I'll bring Momma Rose home. Somehow. Go play now okay." Harry stands up and makes his way to the kitchen where Gemma and Louis are. "Where is she, and don't tell you don't know. My God Gem she pregnant with my child, how can you do this to me I'm your brother." Harry snaps.

"I didn't do this, you did Harry." Gemma snaps back. "I just helped her get away from you, she wanted to leave, she didn't want to see you." Gemma yells at Harry. "I walked into that house and found her asleep on her sofa crying. My God, Harry, she was crying while she was sleeping. That broke my fucking heart. So hell yes I helped her get away. She was broken, with no money. While you have thousands and you just walked away and didn't even look back. You don't deserve her."

"Where is she, damnit, Gemma I love her. I'm dying here without her, hell I can't sleep, eat, I can't even do my job properly anymore." Harry yells.

Gemma looks at her brother, really looks at him, that's when she notices the dark circles under his eyes, and the weight he's lost. "She's at mom's. I gave her my return ticket." Gemma tells him.

Hearing that Harry turns and runs to his room, he grabs a bag out of his closet and throws so clothes into it, he then goes to Steph's room and does the same thing with hers.
"Come on Steph, we're going to bring Momma Rose home." Harry says as he picks his now smiling daughter up and walks to his truck. On the way to the airport he calls Marty to tell him what he's doing and he'll be back to work when Rose agrees to come home. Getting to the airport Harry had to wait an hour for a flight to England, once on the plane Harry tried to picture what Rose looks like now, guessing she's anywhere between 6 to 4 months pregnant, if she got pregnant the first time they made love.
Finally landing back in his homeland, Harry rents a car and heads toward his mom's home. Not once did he think to call and let her or Rose he was on nis way, he didn't want Rose running from him again or his mom hiding her from him. Harry just hopes Gemma didn't call them and warn them. He wanted his Rose back and was willing to do about anything to accomplish that.
Pulling up into his mom's drive Harry parks his car, then helps Steph out. He then hears people talking in the back yard so instead of walking in the house he picks Steph up and walks around the side of the house to see his mom and Rose sitting together. Harry is shocked at how beautiful Rose looks and how large she is, she has to be at least 6 months pregnant.
Just as he's about to make his presence known, Steph sees Rose and screams. "Momma." She then literally jumps from Harry's arms and runs to Rose crying.
