A Second Chance at love

Chapter 59 Reunited?

"When I got hired to work at Jon's company, I thought his name sounded familiar, but, I couldn't place it." he laughed "When I saw him the first time and realized who I was working for, I suddenly felt two inches tall and wanted to crawl in a hole and die!"

"hey now!" Jon laughed, "I'm not a big mean scary ogre!!"

"all I know is if some guy ever did to me and my wife what I did to you and Christina, I would never want to see him again and would kill him on sight if I did" Jake said.

"I really grew up when Robyn told me she was pregnant"' I couldn't believe it" he said. I mean, I love Kristal like she is my own daughter, but to find out that the deep love that Robyn and I have created a little miracle was an amazing feeling especially after what doctors had told me for years.

"Sara and little Jake are our miracle babies" he added " did a bunch of tests after Sara was born and got the same results I've always gotten, same thing happened after little Jake was born."

"this explains so much" Jon said. "no wonder you'd clam up and never want to talk to me, and why you'd run off when ever Chrissy came by a job site."

"I was afraid of her reaction if she saw me" Jake admitted "i didn't want you to break my jaw again either." he laughed.

"I really broke it on Chrissy's and my wedding night?" Jon asked him "yep they surgically repaired it and I had to have my jaw wired shut for quite a few weeks after that-- I lived on soup, jello and milkshakes.-- but, he added "I definitely deserved it" jay said with a chuckle

It was getting late, so, we packed things up and headed to our cars and got ready to leave. as i slid into the passenger seat, Jake jogged over and handed me a slip of paper.

"You should really think about calling her." he said. then he turned to Jon and said "see you at work Monday!"

"I'll be there" Jon laughed.

After several long talks with Dr. Wakefield and with Jon, I decided it was time to bury the hatchet and attempt to call my mom. I was a nervous wreck as I sat by my PC trying to dial the phone with shaking hands.

My heart pounded like crazy as the phone rang. After 6 or 7 rings, she answered the phone.

"Dawson residence- Jackie speaking" her familiar soothing voice said.

"Mom??" I said my voice trembling, a huge lump in my throat, tears in my eyes.

"Christina?" she replied her voice filled with emotion. "I've missed you for so long. She said softly. We spent the next 4 hours on the phone just talking and catching up. Later that night in bed, I told Jon I would like to go and see her when we were in Florida with the kids at the end of the month.

"OK" he said softly hugging me "but, if she badmouths me even once, we are out the door for good and that's it." "I can handle that" I smiled.

2 weeks later we were in Florida, and the kids had an absolute blast in Disneyworld. We sat the girls down one evening and explained to them that we were going to see grandma the next day, but, that she hadn't always been nice to dad and I so we weren't sure how things were going to go.

"We understand" Emma said. "but, why was she mean to daddy?" Kayla asked. "she didn't like him" I said "she didn't think he was the guy I should be with."

Later that evening Jon and were talking out on the balcony-Mariah and the kids were asleep. We were just enjoying the beautiful evening when Emma came into our room.

"Something wrong Emmie?" Jon asked her.

"I couldn't sleep" she replied. "when was the last time I saw grandma?"

"you were pretty little" I said "I think you were 2--Brianna wasn't born"

"Why didn't she like dad?" she asked.

"Because she was given some very wrong information about me and she chose to believe it." Jon said. "she thought all I cared about was getting girls in bed with me and was a 'skirt chaser'" he went on.

"That's terrible" Emma said. "She blew a gasket when we told her that I was your father and not the guy your mom was seeing at the time you were born."

"mom was seeing someone else when I was born?" Emma asked her eyes wide. I nodded my head.

"I was actually seeing your Aunt Katie's brother Jake" I explained "dad and I had split up a couple years before that" "it was only after Jake and I split for good because of his temper and I reconnected with your dad, that we found out that he was your dad."

"how did you figure it out?" she asked.

"Jake knew he wasn't your father for a medical reason so he set out to prove it to me, so, he sent me a letter through the court saying he wanted a paternity test done and he also wanted your dad tested." I told her.

After having a long talk with your dad, he agreed to be tested since he recalled a night during a time where Jake and I had been fighting and he-(your dad) and I had gone to a friend's party, and ended up having an intimate moment thanks in part to the fact that someone spiked the punch."

Emma laughed. "you honestly didn't remember the evening mom??"

"Not at first" I replied "but, as dad and I talked about it, parts of the evening came back to me." " and as it turned out your dad I had never really stopped loving each other."

"that is so sweet" Emma smiled "I hope grandma is nice to him tomorrow"

"so do we sweetie" I said "so do we"
