Chapter 35 Changes
 

Chad stared at the woman in front of him. "Why are you here?" He almost yelled.
"Chad, no need to yell." Carrie said pushing past him as she entered his home.
"Deep breaths man, deep breath’s." Chad told himself as he followed Carrie in.
"Carrie, one more time. What are you doing here?"
Carrie sighed. "I came to see my little girl. I’m here because of Jada."
"Jada? Jada? You want to see the child you left 5 years ago? Are you trying to tell me you came back because you missed my child?" Chad yelled.
"Our child Chad. And yes, I missed her. I’ve changed Chad, and I want Jada to know that."
Chad shook his head. "She doesn’t know you! How can you prove you’ve changed when she has no clue who you are? Carrie, you left me and my baby when she was tiny. You can’t just come back now like its all better. " Chad shouted looking at her with pain and bitterness in his eyes.
"Chad will you calm down? Look I know its been awhile, and I’m sorry." Carrie said reaching out to touch his arm.
"Don’t you touch me! How can you act all innocent? Girl do you know how hard this has been on me? I wasn’t ready to raise a kid on my own. But I did it, because she’s my child, my angel. I’ve been the one there for her so don’t come running back now like its all cool."
"I see you haven’t lost that temper. Chad will you hear me out?"
"No Carrie, in fact I want you out now!" He said pointing to the door.
"Chad I have rights." Carrie said her voice rising for the first time.
Chad let out an angry laugh. "Rights? You have rights? Carrie in case you forgot you abandoned your child, I am the only person who has rights to that child. You don’t hold any kind of rights to her."
"I was young Chad, I made a mistake."
"Oh don’t you give me that one, you are two years older than me Carrie. You wanted to be some fancy model and a kid got in the way. Why don’t you just admit it. You left me and Jada so you could prance around on a runway and smile for the cameras."
Carrie frowned. "Fine! I left so I could be a model. I told you that then, but things have changed now."
Chad shook his head. "Oh I get ya, you’ve lost your glam job huh? Is that it Carrie? No more modeling so you figured you’d just come on home to me and Jada? Well you lost your place here too, because we don’t need you. "
"I gave birth to that child, I have the right to see her." Carrie yelled back at him.
"Oh is that right? Well can you tell me this? What does she look like? Do you have any idea what she even looks like now? Or better yet, what’s her favorite food? What about her favorite color? Do you know anything about the child you gave birth too? " Chad said raking his hands in his hair. His face was a bright red and he could feel anger in him like never before.
"All I know is I’ve been away for way to long."
"You should have never left." Chad said taking a deep breath.
"Daddy?" A tiny voice suddenly called out from the stairs. Looking up Chad felt his heart drop.
"Jada? Oh baby you’re beautiful." Carrie cried.
"Daddy who’s the pretty lady?" Jada questioned looking up at Chad for all the answers, but this time he had none.

Julian Crane stood staring at the walls of his home. "Things can change so fast." He sighed. He couldn’t help but wonder if he was doing the right thing. If his huge surprise would be the beginning of more changes. All he knew was he had to do it, no matter the risks he had to stand up for the good, instead of the bad for once.
‘Its all going to work out dear." Ivy smiled as she walked down the stairs.
"Yes, I suppose you’re right, but I was thinking, what if things go differently then we expect?" Julian said his head down as he looked at the floor.
"We will handle whatever happens." Ivy said as she walked up to him. "But its the right thing."
Julian nodded. "Yes, I keep trying to remember that. This being good thing is much harder than I anticipated though." He said with a slight chuckle. "Thank goodness I have you by my side."
Ivy smiled as she leaned up to Julian her lips softly brushing his. Pulling away she smiled. "I will always be by your side Julian, because not only am I your wife, but because I love you."
"And I my beautiful wife, love you as well."
"I never thought we’d mean those words." Ivy laughed.
"Love is a funny thing Ivy, it changes a person completely wouldn’t you agree."
"Oh of course. And I am so lucky to have you to love."
"Say that when this is all over." Julian teased reaching down to kiss Ivy once more.

Pilar stared at the photo in her hand and frowned. "I’m so alone." She said looking at the face. "Martin I need you now more than ever." She said looking down at the face of her husband. "Luis is gone, forever gone from my sight. And Theresa and Miguel are finding lives of their own." She wiped a tear that had formed in her eye. "Why did you leave me? I raised these children myself, and now I feel as if I’m facing the rest of my life by myself. Is that fair to me Martin?"
Standing up she closed her eyes, she could clearly see him playing with Luis in the yard, oh how she missed those times.
"Mama! Mama, Papa said he would take me and Hank fishing tomorrow!" Luis squealed looking up at his father.
"I believe we can catch some big ones tomorrow." Martin explained.
"Do you think you can pack us a big lunch mama? Us men have to eat." Luis bragged.
"Of course my son. But you better bring me back some fish back."
"We’ll do are best won’t we Luis?" Martin asked smiling down at his son.
With huge bright eyes Luis looked up at his father. "Of course papa."
"Now you go wash up Luis, you’ve been playing in the yard for awhile now."
"Yes mama." Luis said as he ran off.
"He’s a good boy Pilar." Martin said kissing Pilar’s cheek.
"Much like his papa." She smiled.

"Gone." She whimpered. "Its all gone now." Pilar said opening her eyes.
She had acted strong for her children, but after Luis’s death, the feelings of her husband’s disappearance had resurfaced. Perhaps it was the fact that another person had been ripped from her arms, whatever it was it had left a sense of loneliness she hadn’t felt in awhile.
"If only you were here now Martin, if only."
