You, Me and Our Family

Chapter 13-It Hasn't Being All That Bad

"Is she still asleep?" Cristiano whispered to Sarah as he entered Molly's hospital room. "Ya she is" Sarah said looking away from Molly and back to Cristiano as he walked towards a chair. "Everything ok?" she asked. "What could possibly be wrong?" he sighed. "I meant with the phone call you got" Sarah said.

"It was just Maé asking about Molly" he explained. "Must be hard for her and everyone else. Like not been able to see her" Sarah said. "She doesn't know them. We can't risk over whelming her with too many new people. But it's hard for them I know. I still don't know why she even say me" he said. "She wants to know why she's here" Sarah reminded him. "I can't tell her everything she doesn't remember. The doctors told us not to tell her everything about what she's forgotten" Cristiano said.

"She's not going to give up. She wants to know how she ended up in this new life" Sarah told him. "Well I can't tell her. I don't want her to hate me" he said sadly. "Why would she hate you?" Sarah asked. "Look Sarah you don't know everything ok. I can't tell her everything that has happened over these past couple of years. I've made a big mess of everything and I've hurt her more times than I ever wanted but she belongs with us. With me" Cristiano said. "She told me some things" Sarah told him. "She has?" he asked surprised. "A little about your girlfriend" Sarah said. "My-

"You have a girlfriend?" Molly muttered and both Sarah and Cristiano turned to find that her eyes were open and she was looking at Cristiano. "Hey you're awake" Cristiano smiled at her. "You have a girlfriend. So I was your bit on the side" Molly said. "Wow wow wow hold on. You have never being my bit on the side as you put it. And if you had let me respond to Sarah before interrupting than you would have heard me correcting Sarah. I don't have a girlfriend. I have an ex-girlfriend" he told her and Molly looked at Sarah.

"He's telling the truth. In fact from what I heard the break up was pretty entertaining. You even helped" Sarah told her. "I helped?" Molly asked confused. "It doesn't matter Molly. But I don't have a girlfriend. Truth I should never have being with my ex" he told her. "So you and I were..." Molly paused. "Before the girlfriend Molly. I wouldn't do that to you. I didn't cheat on my girlfriend with you. Well not physically anyway. It's complicated" he sighed.

"I've asked you to uncomplicate it all" Molly told him. "It's not that easy" he told her. "Make it easy then" she told him. "Mols go easy ok. This is all strange for us too ok" Sarah told her. "I'm the one with no memory of the past two years Sarah. I could have killed someone for all I know" Molly said wincing as she tried to move in the bed.

"You haven't killed anyone Molly" Sarah said rolling her eyes. "And how do you know? You've being in the States. For all I know this is the first time I've even spoken to you in months. For all I know I could have being leaving Spain. I don't know anything" Molly said flustered. "First of all you and I have spoken. A lot in fact. So distance as never stopped us from being friends. Secondly you weren't leaving Spain cos you wouldn't leave Junior. And thirdly" Sarah paused. "You haven't killed anyone cos I'd probably be the number one person you would kill and I'm still alive and kicking" Cristiano said.

"Why would I kill you?" Molly asked him. "For waking you up for starters" he smiled at her and she laughed. "You have to be patient Mols. Your memory will come back. But we can't tell you all the memories" Sarah told her.

Sarah's mobile began to ring making her jump. "Oh sorry I should take this" she said looking at the name on the phone. "You going to be ok?" she asked Molly before looking back at Cristiano and back to Molly again. Molly looked at Cristiano before nodding at Sarah. "Ok I won't be long" Sarah said heading out through the door.

"Why would I hate you?" Molly asked once the door closed. "What?" Cristiano asked. "You told Sarah you didn't want me to hate you. Why would I hate you?" Molly asked. "I thought you were asleep" he said. "Don't avoid my question" Molly snapped and he sighed. "The past two years haven't being all rosey for you Molly. And that has mostly being my fault. I'm not proud of what I've put you through but I was stupid and blind and you have to know that hurting you is something I never ever want to do" he told her.
