Dylan O'Brien story: Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you! (FINISHED)

Part Three

Marie clicked on her email app and typed in the email links.

Dear all
I know your probably surprised to hear from me I mean it has been 4 years. I am writing this email to tell you that you are grandparents!
I had the child 4 years ago not long after I came back to the uk.
I decided to keep him a secret to protected him and also if I'm honest myself. Especially after what happened.
I know this may come as a huge shock to you, and I wouldn't be surprised. Could I please ask that you do not inform him that I have made contact with you. I am not ready to speak to him or even see him at the moment.
If you have any questions. As you probably will. Please email back.
Kind regards Marie. Xx

Marie sent the email and put her phone down. She looked up again and carried on watching Mitch. She took a deep breath. As her ex walked back over to her. 
"Did you do it?" He asked. Marie nodded.
"Well at least they will now know and I'm sure they will email you back". He said as mitch came running over to them both.
"Look what I found?" Mitch said showing Marie a painted stone.
"That's  really pretty" Marie said. Looking at the 4 year old in front of her running around. Marie took a glance at her phone to see it was almost time for dinner.
"Mitch, we better get going almost dinner time". Marie said standing up. 
"Oh can we come again?" Mitch asked. Marie smiled as they all walked to her car. Once Mitch was in the car. She gave Sarah a big hug and got into the car.
"Let me know if you hear anything?" Her ex said. 
"I will". Marie said as she started the car up and drove off home.

Marie looked in her rear view mirror her 4 year old sitting smiling in his car seat. She couldn't help but see how much he was so much like his dad. She thought the email she sent. She just hoped she was doing the right thing. She knew her ex again was right in what he said about Mitch having the right to know his family. She just didn't know if she could handle seeing Dylan again if the time ever come.

Soon they was home and in doors. Marie getting dinner sorted while Mitch was drawing some pictures. Of his afternoon at the park.
Maries phone suddenly started to beep and she looked at it, she saw a reply from Dylan's mum. She didnt know whether to read it now or wait until after dinner when Mitch was in bed. She decided to get Mitch and hers dinner sorted and then spent the evening reading stories to Mitch.
"Ok sweetie, bed time". Marie said closing the book.
She looked down to see her sleeping little boy. Marie smiled and moved so she could pick him up and carried him to his bed. She gently laid him down and pulled the covers over him. Placing a gentle kiss on top of his head. She sat there just watching him sleep for a few minutes.  She left his room pulling the door up behind her.
Marie decided to get ready for bed. Taking a quick shower. She was soon in her pjs. Sitting down in front of the tv. She opened up her email and read the reply.

Dear Marie,
So nice to hear from you after all this time. I am so sorry you felt you couldn't tell us about ur child at the time. But we are glad you have now reached out and told us.
What is the Childs name? When was the child born? Who does he or she look like?   We have so many questions.
I'm guessing you have not said anything to Dylan, which I can understand. But please think about telling him. He has the right to know. But it should come from you and no one else.
We hope you reply to this email.
Love
Lisa and Patrick xx

Marie clicked on reply and wrote her email.

Dear Lisa and Patrick
Thank you for understanding I wasn't sure if you would.
His name is Mitch and he has my maiden name as his surname. He was born on 26th August!
Yes he was born on his fathers birthday.
He has his dads eyes and hair. To be honest he's a double of his dad.
I know he has the right to know about him. But at the moment I cant, maybe that will change sometime but I don't know.
Please could you let Julia know please. I would rather not go over social media about this.
Only people who know who is father is have promised they will not say anything.
Do you still live at the same address? Has if so I can send you a photo of him! Please let me know.
Take care
Marie

Marie opened up her messages.

Marie:  Hi well they replied!

She sent the message and put her phone down next to her. Her phone went off

1 new message.

Ex:
Thats good. What did they say?

Marie:
Well they seemed to understand why I never said anything. They asked his name and date of birth. Which I've told them. Ive asked if they still live at same address. As going to send a picture. Don't want to do that other social media.

Ex:
Well thats good. Did they say anything about Dylan?

Marie:
Not really just that he needs to know but they wont say anything. I'm waiting on a reply.

Ex:
I'm sure they won't say anything. But think about telling him even if its just a message.

Marie knew everyone was right. But at the moment she just didn't want to.

Marie saw she had an email and clicked on it.

Dear Marie,
  Hi yes we still live at the same address.
Wow that is amazing. I hope we can meet him sometime soon.
Yes I get where your coming from.
Dylan misses you. I'm not saying this to make you feel bad. But I think you should know. He hasn't been the same since that day. I know it was his own doing. And believe me when I say he was spoken to about it. Seems the person did this and it worked on splitting you up. She wanted him for herself. But she never got him. And she didn't like that.
He still wears his wedding ring even though you two are officially  divorced. He hasn't taken it off.
Again not saying this to make you feel sorry for him. But again I just think you should know!
I also believe he still loves you and is still in love with you.
I do hope some day you can find it in your heart to forgive him. Even if its for Mitch's sake. Has we know its not his fault what happened.
When will you send the picture?
Yes i will tell Julia!

Lisa and Patrick

Marie couldn't help but wipe away the tears that had fallen while she read the email.
So much was now going around in her head of what was said to her in the email. Marie clicked reply and wrote her email.

Dear Lisa and Patrick,
I honestly don't know what to say to that email.  One thing I can say is if he truly loved me he wouldn't have done that to me. But I don't know what else to say. I left my ring the day I left. So I know longer wear it. 
My daughter and her father are saying what you are saying. But I just need some time.
I will send the picture tomorrow. So you should get it in a few days. If you have any questions about Mitch, do ask them! 

Love Marie  xxx

She pressed send and put her phone down. She looked at the time. She decided to get a picture of Mitch that she had taken and already developed it was taken a few weeks ago.
She got it ready and decided to go to bed. Has Mitch had pre school in the morning and she would need to be up. Marie soon went to sleep. And for the first time in 4 and half years her dreams was about Dylan!
