The last time Pamela was in Halifax was three summer's ago at her aunts wedding. Sure pamela loves the small homey feeling that Halifax has to offer but she's always been into traveling. Ever since she was a little girl she wanted to travel the world doesen't matter how she does it. Since leaving she's been in and out of contact with her closely knitted family. It took her as a suprise when her aunt called her saying that she needed to come home. Pamela at the time has been working in Australia with a church missionary. Hearing the new's she boarded the first flight out. Granted it was three in the morning when the plane took off. The sun was just rising when she landed in Halifax she stumbled off of the plane tugging her luggage behind her. Finding that the airport wasn't that crowded she left her bags outside the ladies room. Inside she splashed water on her face trying to wake up from this night mare. She took a step back getting a good look at her self in the mirror. Just then a man walked in holding onto a sleeping baby. She smiles at him as he try's pulling the changing table out.It doesn't budge for him as he switches the baby into his other arm. He tries once more as the baby wake's up. He grumbles just as the diaper bag slides down his arm jerking him to the left side. He tries holding the baby still while trying to open the table and balance the diaper bag. Breaking the silence Pamela turn's toward's the man.
" Here let me help you" she says as he hands her the baby
" Thank you so much, im ales "he says taking the baby from her placing it on the table
" Your welcome, it can be tricky sometimes trying to do two things at once "
" It can be, Your probly not expecting a grown man in the women's bathroom"
" Definitely not at this hour"
" I'm sorry i disturbed you, are you from around here" he says while changing the baby
" I use to live here, im just back for a family emergency"
" Oh i hope it's nothing to bad, whats your name darling"
" Ohh im sorry im Pamela, who's this cutie " she says looking down at the baby
" This is miss Briea " he says cleaning up giving Briea a bottle
" Are you her father "
" Umm no she's my best friends' baby "
" Oh because i was wondering because you both have diffrent hair colors "
" Umm her mothers hair color was light red, that's where she got it from"
" Oh, sorry i was curious"
" It's fine, I never thought of that " He says folding the table back up
Just then they both froze when they heard someone coming towards the bathroom. The foot steps seemed to stop at the doorway where a tall figure stood with its arm's crossed.
" Hey Ales are you almost ready, I have to get on the road my family's expecting me "
" Oh ya comming Sid, just talking to a lovely lady, and oh ya Briea's fine "
" I wish that she wasn't with me , i wish Zoey's family could of taken her, with my busy agenda"
" I know bud , but for now she's your's to take care of, you big sissy"
" I'm not a big sissy, i just hate dealing with babys"
" but you play against big babys, or did the concussion make you forget that"
" Now you're pulling my leg, come on out of there"
" Coming" Ales says pulling the diaper bag over his shoulder
Pamela leans against the counter listing to the conversation between the two grown ups. She chuckles at them acting like little children again. But she can't keep her eyes off of little Briea those eyes look familiar to her. Briea's dark chocolate eyes attached to Pamela's every movement. Pamela smiles at Briea as she waves a balled up fist at her. She suddenly snaps out of the spell as ales speaks to her.
" we'll me and this pretty lady need to go to before her father throws a fit, it was nice talking to you" ales says
" Oh you dont want him to blow up, It's been nice ales, im sure i'll see you around"
" More then likely, say be Briea" he says waving her small hand at Pamela
The next second they were out of the door and gone. Pamela walked out moment's later grabbing her luggage as she began walking towards the exit. Up ahead there stood ales as he was handing Briea's diaper bag over to the other man. She got a better look as she walked up to the scene. Briea's father was watching his daughter as she was blowing bubbles at him. His head was turned away from Pamela. He was wearing shorts with crocs and a blue polo shirt with a Reebok hat. Sunglasses were perched ontop of his hat . Pamela walked past quietly as the man looked directly at her those fimilar dark choclate eyes the same color as his dauther. He took a step back handing Briea back over to ales.
" Pamela wait " he called after her stopping her on the sidewalk
" Oh hey Sid, " she says taking a good look at him
' what brings you back here, " he asks
" My aunt called saying i have to get home asap"
" Oh i hope it's nothing bad "
" Knowing her she just wanted me to get a break "
" we all need breaks, what brings you back here Sid"
" It's summer time, and mom want's to meet her granddaughter "
" She's gorgeous "
" Thank you, when you get the chance wanna drop bye, mom will have a heart attack if i said i saw you and didn't invite you over' Sidney says
" Sure Knowing my lovely family I'll be over before you know it "
" You're welcome over when ever, I'll give you my number " he says digging out his phone
" thanks Sid, i'll call before I come'
" sure, later maybe we can get the neighbor hood kid's to play a game with us "
" Sure sounds like old times"
" Later Pamela"
" LaterSsid"
Pamela tosses her luggage into the backseat of her rental car. Thirty minutes later she's pulling into her child hood house. Three houses over is Sidney's childhood home where all the magic started. Pamela dragged her luggage into the house where she was pulled into her aunts waiting arms.
