Kentucky's Best

Chapter 32

Rose is so shocked at what she just heard she just sits there for a few seconds, then suddenly she's throwing up all over the floor, there was no warning at all. Anne helps clean everything up then just looks at her.
"Mom, what just happened, I don't understand?" Rose cries.

"Harry left you because you cheated on him." Anne says.

"But I didn't. I wouldn't do that." Rose says. "I love him to much to hurt him in that way."

"Rose, you heard him, he's had vasectomy. He can't get you pregnant." Anne snaps at her.

"Anne don't you see, Harry lied. I'm the one who checks the mail. I pay all the bills, at home and at the clinic, if he had something like that done I would have seen a bill for it, something. THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING." Rose shouted, crying.

Anne is now really pissed. Harry has done it again. Thinking only of himself, his wants. "Rose do you still have that home in Australia?"

"Yes, why?" Rose asks.

"Did you ever remember to tell Harry about it yet? I know you said you were going to, but did you?" Anne asks her.

"No I never got around to it, with all the therapy and planning the wedding, I just never found the time." Rose says.

"Well, hun, you are legally Steph's mom now, and we all know where you go so does Andy. Why don't you go to your home there. If Harry wants a divorce, give him one, but go one step further, you petition for custody of the kids due to you not working and being a millionaire and his working late hours." Anne says. "Show him the error of his ways."

Being so tired of the way Harry's been treating her since they've met, Rose agrees. Walking out of the exam room she sees Gemma holding Steph and Andy's hands and realizes Harry forgot his kids in his hurry to leave her. Squaring her shoulders she walks up to them and hugs them. "Come on kids we're going home. Then we are packing to go on a vacation. Steph you're going to love this place, Andy does and can show all his favorite spots to explore." Rose tell her as the exit the clinic.

Harry is sitting on his mom's sofa thinking about what he just did, looking around he knows there's something missing he just can't put his finger on it right now what it is, just then his gaze hits a picture of him, Rose and the kids taken days after they got married. Damn he forgot his daughter, jumping up Harry starts for the door just as his mom walks in.
"Going somewhere?" She asks him.

"After my kids. I'm not letting Rose keep them after what she did." Harry says.

Anne snorts. "That's rich, coming from a liar like you. Harry did you forget your wife pays your bills." His mom yells at him, causing him to pale. "Yeah, you ass, if you had the procedure done you claim to have, don't you think Rose would have found out about it by now? Maybe found a bill for a hospital visit?" Anne snaps. "Why? Damnit, tell me why you did this, after working so fucking hard to get her back."

"I don't want her to have anymore kids, to put herself in danger of having another anurisum." Harry yells. "I paniced."

"Okay, panic, fine. But that was a little over the top, don't you think." Anne yells back. "How many times do you think you can do things like this and that beautiful woman will forgive you for it? Harry I seriously think you may have lost her for good this time. Rose didn't even cry this time." Anne does some lying herself. "And if you were planning on going to see her, or if you just remembered you forgot your own daughter, to fucking bad, Rose is legally her mom now and they are gone. Rose told me she done with your shit. She left for 5 years before she can again, you'll get your divorce papers in the mail." Anne smirks.

"What? She can't take my Stephanie, she's my daughter." Harry yells.

"Oh yes she can. You gave her that right when you let her adopt her, besides that Steph wanted to go with Rose, she didn't want to stay here with you if you could forget her like that and treat her mom that way. Plus Steph wants to be there for her mom while she's going through this pregnancy, she missed so much when she was pregnant with Andy." Anne reminded Harry.

Harry drops back down onto the sofa. "Where did she take my kids?" He asks his mom.

Anne shrugs. "How am I supposed to know. Rose has millions to her name, she could have homes anywhere in the United States. And I didn't ask." Anne says. "I didn't want to know, as much as I love and will miss my grandbabies more than anything in this world, I didn't want you to talk me into tell you where they went."

Once Rose got her and the kids settled into their new home, she called the previous doctor she saw while she was here before and set up a pre-natal appointment, after that was done she got the all the things she needed ready to home school the kids. Living where she did it just made more since for her to do that than send them to one of the public schools that would take her hours to drive them to every morning.
Standing on the porch sipping on a bottle of water, Rose watches while Steph and Andy ran around the backyard playing soccer. Rose knew the next several months were going to be extremely hard, it was the first time and she was alone, the second time it was just her and Andy and she wasn't pregnant. This time she had 2 kids, she was pregnant and she was hours from the nearest town. Rose has already decided when it gets close to the time for her to deliver this baby she and the kids will have to move closer to town, even if they were staying in a hotel temporarily. She could do this, she Rose Styles didn't need Harry. He's already proven he didn't want her, and she's always promised herself she wouldn't stay where she's not wanted.
Rose just hopes he's happy when he get the divorce papers she filed before leaving the country. She left instructions with the lawyer that she wanted the papers mailed from there, returned there then sent to her, in no way did she want Harry to find out where she and the kids were. If he wanted to to contact her it could be through lawyers. Rose wanted nothing to do with him.
