A special kind of love

1

It was her day to do the shopping as she quickly ran through her list trying to get back home, Gabriela Simmons reach up to get a family size chocolate cereal for her daughter the love she has for it only the family size serve until their next shopping. She was on her toes tipping up to reach the cereal but some one towering over her reach to get it and it was place in her trolley , she turned to see Steven Scott the man she had ran away from a little over four years now, the man who's the father of her little girl. It is the third time this week since they ran into each other but so far he haven't spoke a word to her few weeks back when she first saw him he tries to talk but she had ignored him as if not to recognized she was the one he was talking to,
He was in the coffee shop on Monday when she ran in to him she just walk right into him for she didn't see him coming, she said sorry but he only look at her the other day he was in the jewelry store in which she work along with his wife as they were both talking to the store manager Valerie chambers he was looking her way when her head turned his way so she turned a round so she didn't have to see him, he was gone the next time she look in the direction he was standing
"Thank you" Gabriela said trying not to meet his eyes stepping around him only to be held back by her upper arm she look up straight into his big grey eyes looking so much like those of a while cat they sparkle it was the most beautiful thing a bout the man though he was handsome as ever strong muscles and sturdy body parts his eyes were what she love about him,
"You're hurting me" she told him feeling him released his grip
"Just let go" Gabriela said
"Gabriela I want to talk to you" Steven said
"I'm in a hurry why don't you just go home and talk to your wife" she walk away leaving him standing there. She was unable to resist the feeling she has for him it had haunt her for ever since she came to love him she can't for get about him even now with the daughter she has but still was willing to move on but with then living so close it be came even harder she never thought she was going to see him again,
Gabriela never saw him in her neighborhood but to the way her sister in-law had described the new neighbor she knew it was him from the moment she saw him in town she doesn't want him to know she has a child for maybe he will put it together and find out it was his child,
Gabriela wonder if he knew that she got pregnant and that she had stop going to collage.
Steven had wanted to find Gabriela for the longest of times since the day he heard she stop going to collage he still didn't know the reason why she dropped out she was studying to be come a nurse she was doing well and he could tell how devoted she was then all of a sudden she stop going all they told him was that she didn't attend anymore he knew she must have left with reason, reason he just want her to tell him but she didn't want to talk to him.
By now Steven figure she was living at the Simmons for he met with Rena Simmons a few times on his run and he happened to saw them together he wasn't going to just go to her place to talk with her but each time she kept running away from him. He admit he was wrong to avoid telling her about the marriage he has with Sophie Lawrence and yes the little boy was in his name but he wasn't his father no one knew that but him for he didn't tell no one not even his wife, maybe he would if given the chance but she reacted so bad from the minute he got home with the little boy and she learn he was in his name like himself Adam Scott father was a fire fighter they work side by side for years on a night when Steven wasn't working he had taken the night off just to get some good sleep for he had work some times with out taking any day at all, that night Adam dad went out to stop a fire he was searching the building when it cave in on him by he Steven was to get there he was burned out of control his last words were to take care of his wife and child , but his wife was sick along with the child there was also a tumor growing in side of her doctor couldn't do anything for her unless they take the baby but she wanted to save her baby more than herself doctor had monitor her until she give birth in order to operate but she died only after giving birth, Steven had claim to be his father in order to give him a home and a family he gave him a home but a family wasn't include for his wife treats him like he wasn't human,
Steven and Sophie were both married for two years a marriage that wasn't going so well but with Adam in the house it got worst, he didn't give up his hope for a better marriage hard as it was until four years later he met Gabriela who was everything his heart desire he love her with all his heart for she was sweet loving and caring already he was interested in stating a life with her but what he should have done was tell her the truth about his marriage and explain to her instead of letting her find out that way, she didn't want a married man that he could understand but she hurt him taking off the way she did with not even as much as a goodbye for four years he see or heard nothing of her now he sees her and still she don't want to talk with him,
Gabriela turn her head toward the sound of the vehicle approaching while standing at her gate as she did she saw the window rolling down and look in the face of Steven Scott who over look her when he drove by it went up this was the first time seeing him passing by it seems he was on his way out she didn't want to risk him passing back to see her so she went inside she just didn't want to have any conversation with him what so ever she dears not let him know a bout her daughter she didn't see him since her shopping day with hope not to see him after this day , impossible she thought for they live seconds away and he have to past her way to get out of this street seeing it was only a one way street, she wasn't sure for how much longer she will be able at hide her daughter.
"I do believe Steven Scott is hot, don't you think so Gabriela ?" Rena Simmons ask her sister in-law when they saw him ran by on Sunday morning Rena wave to him and he wave back pausing on spotting Gabriela when she turn and saw him looking her way she turn around quickly and he started running again,
"He's married"Gabriela said
"Yeah but so is your brother but I don't feel bothered when another woman find him attractive "
Gabriela smile she wasn't going to talk about Steven with Rena anyway but she admit to herself Steven his very hot he had definitely proved himself to her that night he make love to her that every time she thought about it she crave more for him it hurts that he was married wondering to herself why the good guys we're always taken it was impossible to be with him now so she still enjoy the memories that they had once share
Rena rub Gabriela shoulder with her shoulder they both smile , no one before has question her about her child's father she knew that her parents both worked hard to send her to collage she got pregnant before she finish worst so for a man committed in marriage now he's acting as if she's the one with something to apologize for talking as if he's demanding her to talk with him, GABRIELA I WANT TO TALK TO YOU!, she remember his tone of voice, what's there to talk about with him he's married all she wants from him is for him to leave her the heck alone. Rena knowtist how distance she was from here bouncing her back to reality,
"Where have you been and what's that look on your pretty face? "She ask
Gabriela smile she knew she wasn't going to be able to talk about Steven to Rena right now so she leave it unsaid.
Steven pulled the fire truck in to the drive way of the Oakland kindergarten and preschool where his son attends it was career day and he was invited to talk with the children he realized he was running late he quickly ease to a stop got out running to the hall way where they were gathered Adam spot him as he came to the door waving him over to where he sits "sorry I'm late " he said as he squeezed in the seat next to Adam
"You came dad that's all that matters for I didn't think you would made it" Adam said with his line of duty it wasn't a must he would have get to make it for a fire can brake out at any time that he might have to go running and it wasn't a sure thing of how long a fire might take to put out he had let them know at work that he was going to need this afternoon off for Adam had I notify him from two weeks ago , he had made the promise that he would be here and here he was.
"I promise you didn't I? "
"It's just a bout your time dad" Adam told him Steven got up soon as the other parents came down
For eighteen years Steven has been a fire man he is now chief of the Oakland fire department being a fire man for so long he knows all the inside out he could tell so much about what a fire man have to go through what they went through he himself has a few body scars to show and proved what he was talking about, Steven knew how loosing a family member can be devastating even a friend Adams father was dear to him a true friend a partner that night he died he wasn't there to help him they had always worked together he live with the guilt of not showing up for work, because his friend died Steven became more loyal to his job and his coworkers, because his friend died he get to father a child that he love with all his heart for he may never get to have one that his really his. Steven believe in team work though he was alone today but he wasn't going to miss it for the world, he tell his story as if he was reading from a book he was only twenty when he became a fire man he had seen fire men mostly on television and decided to became one he love the whole idea of saving some one it might not always be easy but to know you try your best. He got a big applaud for what ever he said today was well said the other parents that we're there greet him with a smile the principal thank him for taking the time out to come thanking him for the speech he had out line a lot of things today the precautions and measure take when saving some one how to wore the protected gears how you get ready for a fire he inform them that once a fire alarm goes you have less than ten minutes to reach the truck being the truck driver he have to be there a head of everyone saying if you are on duty you can't afford to get left behind when there's a fire you can looses your job. He was becoming a little hot in the full school hall as he walk out to catch some fresh year he saw the smaller children out side he wasn't there for long when he felt some one touch him he look down he saw this beautiful little girl at his feet seeking his attention he didn't see when she came but she raise both arms and he picked her up cold hands clapped to both his cheeks and her forehead rub against his she smile so beautiful the last time he remember he saw a smile like that was from Gabriela but it fade within days for she learn she slept with a already married man her grey cat eyes sparkles just like his he hardly see eyes like those only when looking in a mirror Gabriela always said she love his eyes he remember the other day she look right in to them, she rest her head on his shoulder and for a while keeping it there sucking on her finger she let him feel such warmth a feeling he never had before.
"Come over here honey" her teacher called Steven set her to her feet watch as she ran back to her group, she turn wave at him with a smile he felt a special bond, he watch them as they take off back to their class with each step she look back to see him, as Adam came Steven bid her the last good bye before he and Adam went off to the truck.
Since that day he met with her the same way for three weeks it was the same greetings that hug that make his day the connection they have "do you know this little girl? " Steven ask Adam but Adam shook his head he haven't really knowtist her before, he came around another day he didn't saw her but from a corner he heard a small voice "fire man he turned to see her he lift her as he know she would have wanted she did what she had always done "fire man" she said with a smile
"Fireman" Steven repeat smiling back
"Stevia Scott!" teacher called how many times do I have to tell you don't go off like that? Come over here dear" on hearing her name Steven shiver they had the same last name and their first name sounds alike it was as if though they were some distance relative
"Fire man" stevia said as she sat around the table
"So you saw the fireman today at school ah pumpkin did you learn how to put out a fire? " Rena ask
"Fire man" she repeated
"Well I guess knowing he's a fire man is the best part right pumpkin" Rena rug her cheeks kissing her forehead
Steven was running by the Simmons home on Sunday morning Rena was in the front yard playing with the children her three boys and stevia when Steven runs by stevia saw him "fire man !" She said with a giggle running to Steven who picked her up "so you live here? " he ask surprised that all these time hes been seeing the little girl he didn't know she lives here
"That's my mom over there" stevia told him drawing his attention to the front porch where Gabriela stood his mouth open wide but he couldn't speak
"Look mom !" Stevia said "the fire man "
Gabrielle froze where she stand for she didn't want him to know about her daughter Steven set stevia to her feet holding her hand walking her back to the gate closing it before he walk away he look at Gabriela who was just standing there.
"He is the fireman? " Rena questioned
"Yes aunt" stevia said
"Not bad " Rena said widening her eyes as she wait with stevia so she get to watch him leave waving to him as he walk down the lane for he didn't feel like running anymore
Steven kept picturing the little grey eyes girl who's name is stevia Scott who called Gabriela mom wondering if she was the reason for Gabriela dropping out of collage CAN SHE BE MY CHILD, Steven thought that thought cause his heart to flipped flopped in his chest and weaken his knees he has to stop and and sat on the ground outside his gate before going in he was just looking at the little girl thinking of that night he made love to Gabriela the time she left collage now she was a mother of a child who look to be three years old
"He was sure to tell Adam sitter Selena that he will drop Adam at school on Monday when he did he was going to seek some answers from her teacher
He knock on the door of the class room that she was in she got up and ran to him he picked her up as her cold hands cuffed his cheeks and her forehead rud his,
"You must be steven Scott" teacher said the lump in his throat cause him to not be able to speak he nod "sorry " he said clearing his throat "I was just passing by"
"Not a problem parents done it all the time, though her mother did say you may never get to come"
"She wasn't sure I would get the time neither I wasn't sure for work is so hard to get away from some times " Steven said
"So how is she doing? "
Well since she started in January she's been growing from strength to strength she doesn't really talk much but she's a loving child her mother did say all that was from her dad" Steven smile but deep down he wanted to cry
"Well I won't let her keep you from getting to work " the teacher said recognizing he was a fireman she didn't take knowtist that he was the man in which she kept running off to each time,
Steven set stevia to her feet for a while he just look at her unable to believe he's really her father his name was on her records but her mother haven't told him he held her to him and heard her giggle he wanted was to just mute everything around them and hold her for a long while like he was now. For four years he missed out on his child because her mother failed to tell him she was pregnant.
Steven had himself a very unpleasant day each move he made someone ask if he was doing ok he nod but deep down nothing about him was ok he eats ,sleep , breath the same thing each day of the week since he learn the little girl was in his name, when he could he drop in at school to see her she seems to enjoy the moment he spend each day, with each day their bond got stronger for the loving greetings he got from her only became stronger,
Gabriela felt someone eyes on her and held her head up steven was standing across from her counter looking at her she held her head down hoping to avoid him since that Sunday morning she haven't seen him she hope he didn't bother her at all this day from her counter some one clear there throat he was hovering over her when she look up,
"Can I talk with you? " steven ask
Her head held down as she ignore him like he wasn't there,
"Gabriela! " he said getting not just her attention but a few other in the store as well, Gabriela look around almost everyone was looking at them,
"I'm working " Gabriela said shakingly
"We are going to talk Gabriela and you, you're going to make the time ", he walk away she watch as he walk away going through the door then got in his van and drove away she breath a sigh of release.
Teacher never said anything to Gabriela about steven visits to see her daughter she figure she know Gabriela didn't think he would have the idea she was his child she did caught the surprised look when stevia called her mom it's been a week now she hasn't seen him since last Thursday when he came to her work place, Saturday she was in the grocery store for it was her day to shop as she came around to get her daughter cereal when she pounce up on steven before she make any attempt to take down the cereal he took it down handing it to her with trembling hands she reach for it but he held it back she look up meeting his eyes ,
"When are we going to talk? " he question
"Talk about what, what's there to talk about? " Gabriela ask
"Your daughter the one you gave my name but you didn't give her to me"
Gabriela look up in wonder how he came to know she registered her daughter in his name,
"Now can we talk ?"
Gabriela was too struck to let out words she turn and walk away leaving him standing there with the cereal in his hand she quickly cash and left with out getting the cereal her daughter wants
"Cereal! "Stevia squeal when her mother got home an her aunt was emptying the bags
"No cereal"she furn when Rena was finish taking the things from the bag Gabriela felt bad within herself seeing her daughter disappointed "honey you can always have other cereal for now" she told her,
"Did you ran out of money ?"Rena ask"for you never forget to get her chocolate cereal"
Gabriela didn't know how to explain to Rena now so she said nothing a knock came to the door and her mother got up to answer it, everyone head turn when steven appears in the kitchen
"Hey" he greet them all, stevia furn disappear and she ran to him he only pick her up for a short while before setting her back to her feet, handing her a bag "cereal and cereal! " she said when she ripped apart the bag to see a regular size and her usual family size "yes!" She said Gabriela didn't need to turn her head to know steven was looking at her.
"Thank you" stevia told him
"You're welcome "he said with a smile he gave the other bag he hold to Rena who was standing close by before saying goodbye to stevia she had to put the boxes on the ground before she could wave to him steven smile looking at Gabriela before walking out.
"Don't ask"Gabriela said when Rena turn to look at her,
"Don't ask what ? I wasn't going to ask anything "Rena said emptying the bag that holds a bottle of milk with some small boxes with flavored milk and plain with juices of the same sizes.
"These will came in handy from now on your daughter can have one of these in her lunch case" Gabriela look at Rena as she put them in the cooler, "now pumpkin can have lots of chocolate cereal right honey? " she ask stevia look at both boxes again "yes aunt" she said with a smile,
"should I put them away for you? " stevia hand them to her aunt for her to put them up she rest them on the top of the refrigerator where they were always kept for her to see them,
If it wasn't unfair to Rena Gabriela would never go shopping again just to avoid seeing steven why of all the stores in town he chose the one she did her shopping though it is most convenient for everyone, why can't he allow his wife to do the shopping doesn't he have a maid he's a fireman now isn't he? He's making a lot of money now that gave him all the right to show off. She hissed aloud with out realizing until Rena look at her,
Rena pepare dinner Gabriela set the table going off to get the others from the front porch when it was serve they all sat to eat after Gabriela grace the table.
"Amen" stevia said reaching for the bowl of potatoes making everyone laugh
She was the youngest in the family of all the four children living in the house stevia was younger by three years for the youngest boy will be seven soon and stevia will be four soon, she was just a sweet little girl that everyone adore Gabriela cuff her cheek and gave her a sweet kiss.
"Did you knowtists how tall Mr Scott stand in our kitchen today spreading himself like a green bay tree" Rena said
"What's a green bay tree mom? " Randy Rena younger son ask
"Your mother doesn't know such tree" Gabriela said "besides if you're using a green bay tree to describe steven Scott it could not be a good tree Gabriela grumble
"What was that? " Rena ask
"Nothing"
Rena narrow her eyes at her she was sure it was something " I hope you remember it's your day tomorrow to make dinner "
" yes rena I never forget when it's my dinner day beside after doing the dishes I'll start preparing for tomorrow ,
"Your father and I will go to to service in the morning we're not sure if you will send the children " Martha said
"Yes mom" Gabriela said
"Sure mom"rena said
"Ofcrouse" Raymond said as they all agree together , "and I will even drive you all there " Raymond told them both of them nod in agreement,
While rena put the children things together for church Gabriela wash dishes half cook her peas and season her meat, she blended her pumpkin and peanut together for her juice putting it in the fridge so it will be well cool by dinner tomarrow, when Rena was done with the ironing and put the children to bed she join Gabriela in the kitchen she sat around the table and Gabriela pour two glass of her pumpkin peanut drink and sat with her, rena take a sip of it "what's this? " she ask
"Pumpkin with peanut and Ginger, is it good? "
"This is unusual but tasty"rena said liking the refreshing taste, "how did you come up with this one? " rena ask
"I was hoping for some pumpkin tacary and peanut juice I dice the pumpkin rest them on the counter reaching above the counter top to get a cover and the whole dish of peanuts stumbled off the microwave right into my pumpkins I try picking them out but that was too much work so I settle for this"
They both drink together "come on now Gabriela be reasonable admit it the guy is cute" rena said on swallowing
"If you're still talking of steven Scott I still don't want to he remind me so much of a guy I once knew"
"Who is that pumpkin's dad? "
"Oh yeah"
Was he that bad of a person ?"
The look rena got make her gave in finish her drink and got up, "ok good night I'll see you in the morning " bending down to kiss her cheek,
"Love you "Gabriella told her rena smile when she was out the kitchen Gabriela smile to her self sighing deeply she knew rena will never give up until she make her say something nice about steven but she wasn't going to start saying that he's all that he was really a nice person she wasn't sure if it change over the years , but the fact still remains he's a married man,
Taking off with his child was wrong she took the right to father his daughter from him now that he knew she has no idea what he might do next wondering if he'll ever try taking her she wonder who knew to tell him and it's only at the hospital and school his name was mentioned with stevia
Sunday afternoon after Kenneth and Martha got back from church with the children all was there to talk about was how good the service was,
"The preacher was on fire today!" Martha said
"Did you send and called Mister Scott since he's the neighborhood fireman" rena tease with a smile soon as she was done talking the door knock when she went to open it steven was at the door carrying a basket filled up with fruits for stevia Gabriela was setting the table for dinner she turn and bounce right into him for she didn't see him there she walk around him with out an apology rena didn't missed the way he turn and look at her.
"Are you going to have dinner ?" Stevia ask standing in front of steven taking his hand
"Are you inviting me to have dinner? "Steven ask stevia nod Gabriela watch her pull him over to the table where she sits the only empty chair there was where Gabriela would sit she put the dinner on the table taking her seat beside her nephew. Steven take stevia on his lap because no more chair was at the table
" honey why don't you go and get pumpkin a chair? "Martha ask Gabriela who didn't hesitate to go got up soon as her mother finish speaking steven watch her walk over for the chair coming to rest it down "she'll be fine where she is"steven said without looking at Gabriela she took it back and came to sat down rena watch as steven and Gabriela eyes each other wondering to herself if it was a fling she saw she grace the table and wait for Gabriela to dish dinner but she make no move to Ward doing so rena got up to dish for the children letting everyone else help themselves, steven and stevia eat from the same plate as she leave hers to have his they mostly eat vegetables and meat drinking juice and water.
Gabriela didn't for get steven didn't like rice much how picky he was when it comes to rice stevia didn't do much either remembering the dish of roasted sweet potatoes she left in the oven she got up to get it when she brought them to the table steven didn't wait to be told he could have some, dishing his needed amount for both him and stevia she reach out to take it with her hand but steven held her back "it's very hot I'll have to cool it for you" he told her she wait for him to do so and feed it to her, steven was sure he was going to be late today but he was in no hurry his daughter needed his time so he was making it beside sitting at the table with everyone gave him a different feeling he and Adam rearly have dinner at the table and his wife didn't like being at the table with Adam around it didn't really feel like a family dinner it'd been a long while he hasn't have dinner at his family this little gathering make him want to make a day to do so, the Simmons are nice people no matter the difference between himself and Gabriela it didn't seems he told anyone that he's the little girls father wondering if it is because he's married she kept so quiet about it she hid it from him she seems desperate to keep it a secret, he wasn't sure if they even know her name
"So you are really a fireman my niece talk of fireman everyday I figure it was some one she saw at school " rena said
"It was actually where we met"steven said Gabriela look at him "she just came from no where and ran to me since then it's a greeting I got each time I visit school for my son attend the prep school over there"
"She is so loving I think she must have gotten it from her father for her mother isn't " rena said making steven smile but stop when he saw Gabriela look at him and his face became sour
"Are you serving dessert or must I do it? " Rena ask "for I don't see why it's your day to and I have to do everything, would you care for some chocolate ice cream steven it's pumpkin favorite"
"Yes it's my favorite too" he smile
He share his with stevia then they have hers as well Gabriela avoid her strawberry flavor to watch them while it melt into milk
"Would you believe it if I told you her mother hate chocolate? " rena ask steven dragging his attention to Gabriela again he didn't forget that for a little bit . Instead of having it Gabriela got up and dish in to a small plastic dish and put it in, the refrigerator before excusing herself she was there only for fifteen minutes but steven was gone when she came out
"That's no way to treat a stranger Gabriela "rena said when she came back in the kitchen,
"What did I do? " Gabriela ask
"It's more like what you didn't do you didn't make steven feel welcome at all you didn't even want to dish dinner for him "
"Rena you probably didn't knowtist he doesn't like me"
"That's not true"
Rena said didn't want to believe that was the case, but she avoid saying anything more she never really saw them greet each other but he love pumpkin a lot it seems.
Each morning steven would stop by to see stevia if he came home before they leave from home
"What is it you say your niece name was? " steven ask one morning he stop and they were leaving, Gabriela look at him
"Pumpkin " rena answer
"That's it no last name? "
Rena didn't know how to answer she turn to look at Gabriela,
"Can we leave now rena if you're still dropping me pumpkin is going to be late" taking stevia hand walking by steven who turn to look at her,
Saturday steven get his day off from work but every other day he have to work whether be on the night shift or day. He had gone shopping and again bought the things he had last week and the week before, today Adam was with him, they couldn't stay for they were both on their way out,
"Am I coming too? " stevia ask
"Some other time ok pumpkin " steven said bending down to talk with her he smile before getting up but once he was going out the door she started crying ,
"Pumpkin come over here honey" Gabriela said but she hang a little tighter to steven
Don't cry now, I promise to come see you later is that alright? " stevia nod thou still cries
"Can't you take her? " he ask Gabriela who walk over to take stevia away rena knowtist he speaks to Gabriela for the first time she haven't said a word except to take her daughter she was still crying even in her mothers arms cried her way to sleep even after a few hours she woke up fussy. After taking Adam home and see to it he was off to Bed he walk back to see his daughter hoping she wouldn't be sleeping she was excited to see him it seems she was never going to bed that night steven end up staying longer than he wanted to finally she falls a sleep rena point him to the bed room she share with Gabriela for him to put her in bed, he left soon as she he lay her in bed leaving with out any word apart from a nod. Gabriela check and see that stevia was well tucked in,
Avoiding steven was now a thing of her past for he came over her home when ever he wants he would sometimes stop in the morning whether he was on his way to work or coming from, if he catch them Gabriela try to hurry most of the morning so he didn't catch them when he was on the evening shift Gabriela was glad she didn't have to put up with him in the nights coming all inside her bed room, he haven't plague her for a while saying they need to talk, but the way he looks at her it was as if he hate her deeply.
Gabriela sat in the kitchen her mind going wild she wanted to get it out in the open and tell her family that steven Scott is the father of her child and tell stevia the fireman isn't just her friend but her dad as well she wasn't sure she'll able to say it that a married man was the cause of her dropping out of collage because she became pregnant with his child all her parents hard earn money went down the drain just because of that one night with steven when she came and was home with out a job nursing the family help her to care for stevia now that she has a job her mother have to leave the farm most of the afternoon to take care of her and couldn't help her father like she would want to do,
Both Gabriela parents we're highly qualified farmers they have a farm with animals food kind on the far side of this town they sells their supplies in the main marked meat and vegetables and to small restaurant around the town , her brother was the town best electrition that people grave him to do their work , rena work as a childservic agent, CEO of the children avocate her work place and her children's school were in the same town that her parents live, after school the boys would stay with Rena parents on her way home she would collect them until she gets home in the evening stevia has no one to play with most of the children in the neighborhood we're bigger than her so they we're out mostly not yeveryone allow their children to come out and play ,most of everyone were from Rich background than she and her family you have teacher's doctors, and lawyers and she was a collage drop out to have a baby that so for a married man it was going to be even more shameful when everyone found out it is so rena wasn't really so rich but get the most pay together she and Raymond extend the three bed room to a upstairs six bed room that for them and three children, they together pays the bills most of what Gabriela got on her pay was to send her daughter to school so she couldn't help much around the house they try to tell her it was ok but if she could it would make her feel a lot better the pay she got wasn't all that bad but she pay school fee buy things For stevia and pay her fair back to work she wants to go back to study before it's too late for this year she'll be twenty eight in June she was twenty four when she have stevia and she will be four in October on the ten steven was ten years older than her already he turn thirty eight for his birthday was in February the fourteenth the day they celebrate Valentine's day they had celebrate it once for they met in January a month before his birthday they met in a store she was buying some stuff for some practice she was to do she was stand at the shelf looking at some design wondering what pattern would fit he came up to her and started taking up some things he said "I don't know what you are doing but these, they will fit you perfect you're very pretty how about dinner?

"Doing a little thinking " Gabriela said turning to look at rena
"Are you sure its just a little for you look a bit out of place" alot more than a little thinking was in her eyes but because she didn't seems to want to talk rena said goodnight for it was what she came to do walking out leaving her to her thinking .
