Chapter 9 - Dancing On My Own

7 years later...

After Africa, I spend entirely in London and then five months later I was pregnant. It was a boy, and we named him Nicholas Louis Hudson. He was born when Steve was away, and well the one who there for me was Steve parents until he came in the morning.

It's Christmas, and we decided to plan it in New York. Nicholas never been to New York, so we planned to celebrate it with Jane and we rent house next to their house that Jane offered me to rent until New Year. It was week before Christmas we came after the last time I was in New York it was with Ralph after Africa and he apologize to me and then I just never came back to New York.

"Ana!!!" Jane welcomed me with her excitement as we entered the house that we rent and she was already waiting for us.

"Oh Jane, I miss you so much." I said smiling and then I saw Gerard standing next to her, and he is all grown up. "Hey Gerard." I greeted him smiling.

"Hello auntie." He smiled shyly and I kiss him cheek.

"I bring someone special." I said and then I move a side a bit and then he saw Nicholas.

So as the kids played together, we all sit down on the living room and talk about 7 years in London. And well of course Ralph is mentioned.

"So last time I heard you were in Ralph camp in Africa?" Jane said and I smirk.

"Yeah, I haven't met him since." I said.

"Yeah, I haven't heard him since he send me a letter since five years ago." She said and I look down.

So after the conversation over, Mark and Steve and the boys went out and me and Jane in the middle of winter take a walk to the studio. "You know I haven't been here since." She said as we enter the studio and I look to the book shop down the street.

"Where is Ralph letter?" I asked and she look at me.

"You know?" She asked and I look at her.

Seven years ago in New York,

We lay down on the bed at the airport hotel my body was covered with his jacket and he was naked with his arms wrapped around me that make me feel warm.

"If I have a chance to come back, will you still wait me?" I turned my body to him and look at him.

"What do you mean?" I confused.

"I... I never told this to anyone but," he look down and I rub his arms. "I've been running away from the darkness of my work. People tried to kill me cause I'm trying to save those refugees, and now my life is in danger." I shocked and then he look at me.

"Ralph you never told me..." I said in tears.

"Because I know you will be worried." He said and he quickly get off from the bed.

"Where you going?" I asked and I light my body up and put my shirt that lay on the ground and he put his shirt on.

"Leaving, I need to go." He said and I jumped out the bed and walk towards him and hold his hand.

"Where?" I asked and he roughly turn his body towards me.

"I can't let you know." he said and I hold his hand even tighter.

"Is this why you never let me love you?" He stand there in silence looking at me in the eyes trying to to answer. "Answer me!" I shouted and I quickly slap him.
