Chapter 63 "A father has on our wishes all powers..."

Candy continued to go see Marlowe every day. She had stop working at the theatre to Hathaway's dismay, he was begging her to come back.

- If it's the money, I can pay you more, princess

- It's not about the money Mr. Hathaway, I have to rest and spend time with my family

- But Esther is no longer here...

- Exactly! I didn't know I was going to miss her so much.... I love her so much. Even when I was married to the prince, Esther's presence was making my life better...

- Princess, you've got to get a hold of yourself, looks like you've gain some weight. Are you eating because you're in pain?

- Mr. Hathaway...

- I beg your pardon, it's none of my business. But I can't make you change your mind? You still want to go to Hollywood?

- Not at the moment, it's not like I need the money... I 'm going to get some rest...

- What about Marlowe?

- I've hired people to take care of him...

- The insurance had paid him well after the accident

- I know, but, looks like it's not enough...

- He wants you, Princess...

- I gave up the man I love and my darling little sister... I can't do anything more for him... I'm depressed... I miss Terry and Esther...

- You do look less cheerful, than before when they were with you... So you have to do what you have to to be happy and some sacrifices are worth it and others are not.

- Thank you, Mr. Hathaway, said Candy standing up

- No, thank you, your presence made my theatre very successful...

Candy left the theatre, she had her stuff delivered to her mother's apartment. She was rubbing her belly with her hand.

- Are you ok my angel? Mummy just gave up the theatre, mummy wants to go see daddy and Esther... and mummy had to find a way to get free from Marlowe, who has saved her life... and yours too, without Marlowe, you wouldn't be here, you wouldn't exist. I should dump everything, in normal times, I would've done that, but apparently I have a bigger heart I didn't know I had... I can't dump Marlowe like that, I owe him my life... Oh my God! Help me!

She was crying. She missed Terry and Esther. But she had to get a hold of herself for the new baby...

oOoOoOoOoOo

Esther was waiting for the Sunday reunions impatiently, to see Kelli, Daniel's wife, who also loved spending time with her.

Everybody was in the family way, the group was hit by a baby boom... Terry was with Esther, dressing her up.

- Daddy?

- Yes my little doll?

- Everybody is going to have a baby... what about us? When is mummy coming so that we could have a little brother or a little sister?

- Honey, you know why she has to take care of Marlowe, right?

- Yes, but until when? I need her and you too!

- Honey, please

Terry saw that Esther was starting to get mad... mad at Candy! My God this situation was getting bad to worse...

"My God, help us, You gave her me back to me with my daughter as a bonus... Please, help me!" Said Terry to himself.

- Esther, listen to me. God is going to help us, it's going to take the time needed, but he's going to help us...

- All right, said Esther on the verge of tears.

- We're going to have our family and a baby too...

- You promise me?

- I promise you...

- All right, Thank you daddy! I hate Marlowe!

- You can't hate people, Esther. He saved your mommy's life, without him, mommy wouldn't be with us anymore.

- But because of him, mummy is not with us!!!!

That's what's making this story ironic, they had to thank Marlowe for saving Candy's life and damn him for taking Candy away from them!

- My dear Esther, you're going to learn that life is not always fair...

- I already learn it, mummy should be with us and she's not here

Terry took her softly in his arms.

- Let's go to the Sunday family reunion! I want to see Kelli...

- You know that she's not your mummy, right?

- I know daddy, but I still like seeing her. Uncle Daniel loved mummy so much that he married a woman who looked like her! She even had the same wedding dress as mummy!

- As a matter of fact, we can see how obsessed he was with your mummy...

They went to the Sunday family reunion...
