SECRET LIFE SECRETS REVEALED

A PRECIOUS GIFT

Leo, Camille, and Chloe stood in awe at what they saw in Ben's daughter, but all were heartbroken to know that Ben was also a widower.  Each was sad, and disappointed that so much had happened to him and they weren't their to share in it.  Leo was more ashamed than sad to learn all of his son's pain.  To know he was homeless was bad especially after he came from such a wealthy family.  Then to learn his son was nearly killed in some back alley in Vegas made him feel disgusted at himself to know that if Vincent had not been there his son would have died and he wouldn't have even known.  

But to discover his son had  found love possibly for the first time, and started a family, and became a widower and a single father made him feel like a complete failure.  Vincent's words came back to him and now made perfect sense. "You and Ben have more in common than you know, but only Ben can tell you what that means".  It was surreal to him to be standing there looking at his granddaughter, who without any doubt was the mirror image of his late wife.  To know Ben named her after her, was even more hard to accept.  All of this had happened without him having any knowledge of it, after being there to witness the birth of Alice/Henry, Adrian/Omar, Ricky/Amy, even Madison/Jack's children he had missed the birth of his own grandchild.   He wondered did his son hate him so much that he would deny him that.  The relationship a grandparent has with their grand child.

Camille: Ben are you going to introduce us? (is crying after seeing and realizing the event in front of her, but decides to make a move to get them to settle the situation)

Ben: Oh, sorry where are my manner's.  Camille, Chloe, .....(takes time to decide to acknowledge his father) Leo.  I'd like you to meet my daughter Sarah Elizabeth Helen, and my lovely sister-in-law of the United States Air Force Capt. Karen Victoria Hunter. 

Chloe: Ben,.....(wants Ben to admit they are family, but is held back by Karen who shakes her head in a no) 

Sarah: (begins tapping her father's arm) Daddy its the man on the meat. (pointing at Leo)

Leo: (looked sad that Ben hadn't recognized him as his father, but smiled at Sarah's name) Yes, I'm The Sausage King, I've known your father since he was a baby.

Sarah: (looks at her father in awe) You know a king Daddy?

Ben: Mr. Boykevich isn't really a king Baby.  They just call him that.  But I have known him a long time.  Introduce yourself. (puts her down)

Sarah: Hello, I am Sarah Elizabeth Helen.  It is nice to meet ......you all. (does a small curtsy) 

Ben: Baby, where did you learn the curtsy?

Sarah: Uncle Howie.  He said it's what rich people like to see.

Ben: (stunned) Uncle Howie taught you how to curtsy. (smirks)

Sarah: (shakes her head) uh-huh. 

Karen: Ben, we will hold this over him.  Forever...

Ben: Agreed.  But, what are you two doing here, and how did you get here?

Karen: You promised my niece you would be together for Christmas, and I decided to help you keep that promise.  

Ben: But, with the storm.  How did you get through the blizzard?

Karen: Ben, you married into a family of military officer's we get intelligence even meteor-logical  before everyone else.  We knew the storm was coming, and me being a Captain in the Air Force was able to get in and out before anyone else.  Oh, if any military police stop by, Sarah is a 25 lb. box of red string.
