"Des, please you can't do this! You two are all I ha-" I twisted and turned out of his hands to face him.
"Go back to that little skank, I don't need you and I'm not going to put Noah through the shit you put me through! That's enough Drew! I'm 100% done with your crap!"
"Please baby, it wasn't supposed to be like that!" At this point I was crying as I finally horsed out, "let go of me," and pulled away. His hand fell as I picked up my last suitcase. I slammed the back door of my jeep and walked over to pick up my sleeping 3 month old. I put him in the backseat and as I backed out the blonde whore came out the front door. I burst in tears, but Drew pushed her hands off of him and went in the door, I assumed he locked the door as she left the door and sat on the steps of our-his porch.
A four hour drive later, 1 in the morning, I knocked on the front door hesitantly. Bags and baby in tow I waited for a little but heard somebody rustle in side, I wish I would've called. I was still teary-eyed but I'd calmed down.
"Destiny?" my dad answered the door in his robe. I tried to smile but cried some more, but even though I'd left a year ago without any warning, he pulled me into a forgiving hug. "Come inside darling," he moved to give me room and carried my three suitcases in and I held the duffle bag, diaper bag and a sleeping Noah. I followed my dad to the kitchen and he grabbed two mugs for tea. While it cooked he took my bags to my room, then came down quickly. I sat at a stool and took Noah from the seat he was in.
He gave me some time to drink before he spoke, "Is this permanent?" I nodded, he nodded in response, "Your room is still there with everything you uh-didn't take, I can get anything you need for him honey, I'm so sorry. What's his name?" he was nervous, I could tell. Hell, before I met Andrew my dad was my best friend. But when I found out I was pregnant I told him and my step-mom Victoria (Tori) and they said they would help with everything, they begged me not to go but Drew wanted to leave and I only wanted to make him happy.
"Noah William Parker," my dad smiled to hear his last name. I wasn't married to Drew at the time, and obviously I'm still not, so he got my last name. My dad jittered a little, I knew what he wanted, "Here, you want to feed him? He hasn't eaten for a long time, I'm not really sure when," I got out a bottle and my dad carefully took him.
I smiled when Noah woke up and they began cooing back and forth. A few minutes passed and I yawned, half his bottle was gone and I put it in the refrigerator and excuse myself to the restroom. I pass a lot of the things that used to be here. Nothing had changed except a new picture of my dad and Tori. I quickly came back to the kitchen. The house was still as great as ever. You never know how much you miss something until you've got it back.
"Well, I'll let you go to bed, do you want Noah to sleep in your room?" I nodded, "Okay, well the room is in the same place, Lidia cleans it and the bathroom, and the whole upstairs all the time. I don't know if you knew, Gabe moved back in so he is in his room, he might still be awake he's almost always working on college work, so you can stop in and see," I nod, he kisses my forehead and pulls me into a hug, "Love you Destiny," my dad walked out the door towards the hallway that led to the master bedroom.
I walked up the stairs with Noah, his seat and his diaper bag. When I got to the hallway I turned right, down what used to be my wing of the second floor, and I guess it still was. I peeked in the first door to find my study and then on the other side was my bedroom. The only other door was the bathroom, that was also connected to my room. After setting Noah's things down in the study I walked down to Gabe's wing of the house. It mirrored mine exactly. I knocked on his door four times in a pattern we always used. A few seconds passed and I didn't hear anything, I peeked in to see he wasn't there. I crossed the hall to his study. I knocked the same pattern and heard a chair turn and squeak. He opened the door slowly and I saw the biggest shocked smile I'd ever seen before, he looked me up and down then at Noah. He poked my cheek and I giggled. He did the same to Noah who just cooed at the interaction.
