Natural Disasters

Chapter 9: Days gone by

The days have gone by fast. Derrek and I have been dating for about 2 years and 8 months now till we got married. You must be thinking 'what happened throughout the years?' or 'what happened to Jerry?', well Jerry decided to move away from everything. He left his past behind with us. He told Lory to either get rid of the baby or tell the child that he has no father. Which is sad, but I think he's angry that it was her fault to announce the pregnancy to everyone before she had a word with Jerry. I now see Jerry's true colors after he left the hospital. I'll talk with his parents once in a while to explain how everything is going so far. I regret dating and marrying Jerry, but like how Derrek said last chapter that I wouldn't have had Heather and Ally. Our baby boy is named Liam Derrek Reed. He is almost learned how to walk. He knows a couple words like mom, dad, and Hea aka Heather and Al aka Ally. We moved to a house that Jerry and I were planning on moving to a long time ago. We got married a few months after we both got a divorce with our spouses. We got married in the park where we grew up in. A week after the wedding, Derrek's mother passed away from a heart condition. We held a small funeral for her after that. Derrek was sad at first, but he was glad that she died seeing him get married. She was a delightful woman. Anyway, I don't regret one bit of my one night stand with Derrek. Even though it caused some problems, it still helped me realize things I didn't with Jerry.

The years flew by quickly. Heather, Ally and Liam grew up. Heather soon became a photographer and Ally became a social worker. Liam has a part time job at a grocery store and is thinking of becoming a Fitness Instructor. He's still young, but we are doing our best to help him out. Derrek and I are still going strong. We are more in love as ever. The day Derrek moved in next door, was fate. He's so sweet and kind. He will help anyone who is ill physically or mentally. He's everything I could've asked for. I love you Derrek and I always will.

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business because we'd be too cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down. – Annie Dillard
