Chapter 27: Benjamin

Finally we are home. I can't wait to see my girls! "Passengers it will be a few more minutes. We having gentlemen that are coming home from overseas that are being assisted off the plane first" the flight attendant announced to its passengers. Grant stands up and helps up Matt stand up slowly. After sitting for hours I know they are as sore as I am. Jacob stands up with his arm sit in a sling. Brandon was requested to stay behind in Germany. Trey stands and asks the flight attendant, "are they bringing the wheel chair we requested?" She nods, "yes sir. Let me go check and see if they have it." She turns and leaves. I get ready to get up, but all the men give me a glare which keeps me seated.

"Here it is sir" a older flight attender pushes one towards me. Trey assists me to transfer into the wheel chair. I grunt in pain and once seated I sigh. Hands start clapping. We all look up to see the other passengers standing in applauding us. Jacob gives a small wave and a thanks. "Let's go boys" Trey says and starts pushing us out of the plane and to the airport terminal. 

We walk outside to see Belle and Rachael leaning against Matt's truck. "See you guys later" Jacob says and walks over to his mom who is picking him up. Grant just walks off to his brother who is a few cars down. Belle runs to Matt hugging him. I can hear him groan in pain. I chuckle at their antics as he starts complaining while Belle calls him a baby.

Trey wheels me forward to Rachael. "Ben" Rachael says reaching her hand out. I reach my right arm out and grab her hand. She bends down and hugs me. "Don't you ever do this to us again" she whispers in my ear. "Trey you riding with us. Bianca is at our house with Jess and the kids" Rachael says as she stands back up. "Kids" I ask. Rachael's eyes widen and mouth drops open. "Rachael?" She shakes her head, "oh I mean Nala." I defiently know something is up by the way she is acting. I look up to Trey just to see him shrug. 

We all load up in the truck. Luckily I didn't crammed in the back. Belle starts the car and heads home. After about ten minutes of driving Rachael coughs trying to get Belle's attention. Belle just nods in recognition. "There is something we need to talk about before we get to the house" Rachael says nervously. "Doesn't sound very good" I tell her. "Well there is good and bad" Belle answers. "So tell us" Matt demands to his sister. Trey glares at Matt, "chill out some." 

Belle takes a deep breath and then exhales. "Jessica went into shock when she heard about what happened last night" Rachael says just loud enough for us to hear. "What do you mean" I ask. "She hasn't said a word since we told her. She is still doing stuff, but she is like a zombie unless she is talking to umm- Nala" Rachael elaborates. I run my right hand through my hair in frustration. I know she knew that there was a possibility of me coming home injured, but I never considered what she would go through when it actually happened.

"Anything else happen while I was gone? She never told me much. Though she did tell me she got her license" I say as I look out the window. "Actually something big has happened, but its a good thing" Rachael says teary eyed. I do my best to look back at her and raise my brows curiously. I notice Belle is getting emotional too. "You have a son Ben" Belle whispers.

The rest of the ride went in silence besides the girls sniffling and trying to contain their tears. We pulled into the drive way after another ten minutes. "Please don't be upset with us" Belle says then gets out of the truck. Trey and Matt follow suit. Rachael comes over to my door and opens it, "I am assuming since Trey left you don't need a wheel chair." Without even looking at her I tell her there should be crutches in the bed of the truck. She gets them and hands them to me. "She has gone through a lot Ben. I know you have too, but please consider her side too." Rachael walks away leaving me by myself. 

I have a son.
