Chapter Twelve
-With You At Last-
~~~~~~~~
"So you really had to adjust to him after he came back?"

"Yeah sadly. It was really a traumatic experience for me okay, I was basically afraid of your father for months. Jay was always a loose cannon, so I thought if I made him mad.....he'd go off on me again. But as we got together and started talking again,....it really felt like I could trust him again. I knew how much he's been through to come around and that always made me feel bad. I really cared about this man so there's no reason to fear him anymore. And eventually......I didn't. I could see his halo clearly.

"You know while I was in there I was writing you, right. I don't think you probably ever got them because you moved I guess"

"No....um, I got them actually. The person who lives in my old house was kind enough to send them here each time one came..." She looked off as she was talking, pointing out a pile of perfectly stacked envelopes, which seem to still be sealed away.

I looked over myself and of course felt some way about it. I was putting my heart and soul into those letters and she ain't read not one...
I looked back over to face the tv and look down in my feelings.

"Jay....I'm sorry okay, *sighs* I was trying to block you out if I'm being honest. But that was selfish of me, especially when you wrote to me every chance you got. ....I'm sorry Jacob, I really am" she said.

"Nah it's okay. You were trying to better yourself without me but I just kept interrupting you"

"No...don't blame that on yourself. It was rude of me not to read them, we both know that it was so I'm apologizing. I know you were thinking about me in there and...I just didn't give you the time or the day. Its crazy that you still want me after this, I was being shitty"

"Yeah you were, but I understand why you were. And I love you D, I'm not about to let some shit like that ruin us. It was just a complicated time right, but I'm willing to leave it in the past. Are you?"

"Yes...--"

"Excuse me" I said to him, slowly getting up to go get the door.

Walking passed him, I opened the door and stepped aside so both James and Desiree could come in. "Hey guys, how was school" I asked them happily, closing the door behind them.

"Good, hey is that Jay?" James asked as he walked deeper into the house.

"Mommy mommy I made a color picture. I color a doggie....a...kitty....a girl.......a boy.....a Mommy...a daddy.....a baby......a house.......and that's it"

I gasped dramatically. "You did? Was it fun?" I turned to her, picking her up because she was just too adorable not to with her little book bag.

"Yeah I had fun mommy, we can color tomorrow Ms. Chelsie say to me"

"Oh okay, sounds exiciting. I missed you though" I leaned in and gave her a kiss, scoping out James talking to Jay actually. ...They always did have a great bond.

I slowly bent down to put Des back on her feet, taking her hand to bring her over to him as well. I had the slightest clue of how she was going to react now that he's here and here to stay for a minute. I just hope she'll at least say hi.

"Daddy!" she slipped through my hands and rushed up to him surprisingly. ..er😶

I was in shock and so was Jay as he caught her in his arms to hug her back. He looked at me as I looked down at him, but I couldn't even fandom that she just came over to him myself.
