sweet southern love

chapter 5

A/N I didn't come up with ideas for this chapter but the words are all mine. Elisabeth and Dominic are 44 in this part.

15 years later they had 3 children Bo was 14, Ana was 12 and Cyrus was 9. Elisabeth was feeling lonely kinda unloved, it had been months since Dominic had come home and made love to her. Dominic would come home falling sleep right away not even saying I love you. When Bo was born she decided to be a stay at home mom. She didn't know by the time her last kid was born things would be different then her dream come true. One day when she was at the supermarket she started to feel lightheaded and passed out, when she woke up everyone was staring at her.

"Ma'am is everything ok. You want us to call anyone to come and get you."

"I'll be fine don't worry about me." When she was done doing her errands she came home she went right to bed. She missed the days that Dominic wouldn't wanna spend one day apart now it was just her and the kids. Even thought they barley talked or saw each other she wanted another kid. When Bo came home from school he went looking for his mom and he saw something wasn't right with her.

"Mama are you ok lately you haven't been looking good?"

"I think it's just the flu honey, it was more then just the flu but she couldn't tell the kids. About an hour later Dominic came home trying to sneak away with out Bess seeing him. He ran into his son Cyrus.

"Daddy your home this means we'll be eating together. I miss you."

"No I'm just home to change clothes. Where is your mother?"

"She's sleeping. We never see you. Can't you tell your boss to let you come home early?"

"I can't I miss you too." Just outside the house in the car was his girlfriend.

A week later

Bess had got so sick she couldn't get out of bed so she got Bo to take care of the house. When Dominic was around she would try to stand looking like everything was ok. One day before work he started to talk to her.

"I've noticed that Bo is doing everything and you just stay in bed. Is everything ok please tell me?"

"I have a cold don't worry. Please come home tonight and spend time with the kids. They miss you."

You know I work late. I want to spend time with you and kids but I can't." He went in for a hug and kiss, Bess thought she smelled booze on his breath but she wasn't sure.

"I miss you and I love you."

"You know I love you honey. Honey I want to spend time with you but we need the money."

"I understand babe." Before he went to see the kids he swallowed some mouth wash. Dominic felt bad for lying to Bess about working but he couldn't tell her bout his girlfriend. Before Bo went to school he went upstairs to see if she ok.

"Mama are you sure you'll be ok."

"Don't worry about me I'll be fine." It had been a month since she found out she had cancer. She wanted to tell her oldest son but couldn't. She wondered if Dominic would care when he found out the news. She had a feeling he knew more. She soon fell asleep and she awoke by the phone ringing it was Dominic.

"Honey I need you to pick me up. I'm at the police department."

"What happened?"

"I was pulled over they took me in." She just put on her sneakers trying her hardest to get up and drive. When she got there she was in for shock.

"I'm here to pick up my husband Dominic Corbin."

"Do you know why he was arrested?"

"He was pulled over."
