Its been awhile.

And I'm still siting with Maria.

She isn't crying any more.

But still.

I hear the front door open.

And a few sets of feet.

"Mother"Nathan calls.

"In.here"she yells.

He knocks on the door and opens it.

"Mother.where is Dana?"

"Out with Hadden"

"Okay then."

"Whom is with you?"i ask.

"Janie and Natilie"

Janie is his wife.

And Natilie his newborn baby.

I nodd.

"They're waiting out there."

"Okay"

I stand.so does Maria.

He sighs.

"When will they be back?"

"Should be soon"

He nodds.

"Its almost supper time.have you ate?"Maria asks.

"No."

"Do you want to stay for supper?"she asks.

"I guess so.thank you"

She nodds and walks out too the living room.

"So.you here to talk too Dana?"

He nodds.

"Good.this will be hard on her.she needs all the help she can get"

"I know"

We walk out.to the kitchen.

Janie is siting at the table holding natilie.

"Hello"i say.

"Hi"she says.

Maria has started supper.

I sit down.

And hear the door open.

And Dana skips in.

I swear she never just plain walks any where.

"Oh.uh.hello"she says.

He walks over too her.

"Dana....look I'm sorry.this is just....waoh..and its hard...to see you like this"

"Hard too be like this"

He nodds.

"Forgive me?"

"Yeah"

She jumps up too hug him.

He kisses her head.

"Good.now you can eat"Maria says.

"Good.I'm starving"he says.

So we sit.

And me and Dana don't eat.

But just watch.

And join in the talking.

Its light and happy talk.

.

After awhile its geting dark.
