Karen ( Cameron's mum) pov

~flashback 14 years ago~

"Richard, you're a criminal and I bear your child. We have a family now. We can't stay on the run our entire life..." I sobbed to myself as my mafia husband, Richard , paced back and forth.
"Well I can't get caught can I or your life will be over too!" He screamed back at me, making more tears cascade out of my eyes. I felt my future son kick in my womb. I was going to have to make some hard decisions for your sake...
"Well why do I even have to run with you? It's not like the MI5 are after me...I'm not involved in all this crap," I said, standing up and looking him in the eye.
" What are you suggesting..."
Richard trailed off with a look of horror in his eyes. He knew exactly what I was suggesting.
"B-but I need to stay with you!" He stammered.
"Why?"
"The baby? Our baby?"
" I can have and raise a child alone Richard. I'm not putting any more lives at risk for your stupid antics." I said to him calmly, watching as his face turned from one of horror to one of anger.
"ARE YOU SAYING YOU DON'T NEED ME?!"
" no not exactly. I'm saying my child doesn't need you."
Richard gasped at me as I through his bag of clothes at him.
"LEAVE RICHARD! I WON'T LET MY CHILD GROW UP IN YOUR SHADOW EVEN IF ITS THE LAST THING I DO!" Richard was sobbing at this point and tears where streaming out of my eyes.
"JUST GET OUT AND DON'T YOU DARE SHOW ME YOUR FACE EVER AGAIN!" I screamed to end. Richard bowed his head and left. I sat on the bed and cryed my eyes out. What had I done?

" And that's your father. The mafia boss. The wanted criminal. Richard Reid."
" W - where is he right now?" Cameron stammered. A tear trickled out of his eye.
" I don't know honey. And hopefully no one does."
"Will I ever get to meet him?"

~Flashback~
" I promise I'll be back to see our son Karen. I love you and I always will...goodbye..."
~end of flashback~

"No Cameron. You'll never get to meet your father and I think it's best that way."
I walked off. Leaving Cameron on the floor crying.
Could Richard really be alive? Will he really come back for our son? I guess only time will tell....
