Rebuilding Love 18. A Love Returned
After my lunch, with Tom, I made it back to the hospital and walked into my dad's room to see him talking to someone. What I heard as I stood there had me reeling "I miss her and I realize that I never should have let her fear of intimacy come between us. I thought she didn't want me because she was saving herself for her high school crush. I used to hear her mumble his name in her sleep. I never realized she was... it wasn't until I ran across her case file that a friend of mine from the area was studying did I know what happened to her. When I did a google search to find her when I couldn't find her at her flat I found she was here. I heard the nurses talking and realized you were her father. What I want to know is why?" I cleared my throat and the two of them snapped their eyes my way. "What are you doing here Walter?" "I came to see you, baby. I missed you and realized I can't stop loving you." "Walter it's been two years why are you approaching me now." "Well, I real
Rebuilding Love 19. Tristan 2
Tristan's POVI woke up the next day after telling off my mom only to get a call from Trina asking for Linda's number. I couldn't help but smile that she was going to let them into her life and is willing to let me take Alex with us on our fishing trip. It is kind of funny it went from just me, Justin and either Juan or Hikaru going on a male bonding trip to including several members of our family. I couldn't be happier that the men that helped raise my son are willing to let me into their lives as well. Plus after talking to Hikaru it went from a one-day trip tomorrow to a weekend bro fest. The only thing I am going to miss is having my dad there as well but until he can get mom to realize she was just as much to blame as the rest of us or is willing to go up against her with us he has to be excluded. I don't know how much longer he is going to last since Justin is his grandson too and he is missing out on a lot of things thanks to his mom. She is also going to be upset that L
Rebuilding Love 20. Revelations
KPOVI stood up and headed over to Tristan and Manuel only to have Tristan yell "TRINA NO!!" I turn around and see Micheal standing there with a gun. "What the hell?" "You just had to go to the cops you little bitch. Because of you, I lost ten years of my life. Not to mention you disappeared and for the last six years, I couldn't get near you because I am not allowed to travel internationally yet. Boy did I get lucky when I realized my cousin Walter was your ex-boyfriend. When I told him you were the reason I was in jail for ten years he was more than willing to help. I kept searching for you these last six years and low and behold I was finally able to find that you moved back here." "Just let it go and I will forget you did this and violated the restraining order."He threw back his head and laughed "you don't get it. I will make you pay and Walter is more than willing to help. When he realized the guy you kept saying the name of in your sleep was the same one that let me
Rebuilding Love 21. It Hurts
I don't know how long I was there all I know was that I woke up when I feel a gentle nudge on my shoulder. I look up into my dad's eyes "he still hasn't woken up. What will I do if he never wakes up?" "Shh, he will wake up princess. Have you been here all night?" "No, I just got here after he was let out of surgery." "Princess it's the morning." "Really, shit Justin." "Shh, don't worry about Justin he is here with me. Is it ok for him to come in? I didn't want to let him in if you didn't' want him to see Tristan like this. I am pretty sure he took off to the cafeteria in search of coffee for you. That boy sure is protective of you." "Yes, he is and yes he can come in he has a right to be here this is his father." I watch my dad walk out and cling to Tristan's hands "please wake up. I can't live without you anymore. Damn it, Tris, you make me forgive you, and now this." I eventually feel a hand on my shoulder and look up into the eyes of our son. Smiling at him "hey
Rebuilding Love 22. Complications
I watched the door knowing my mom would soon be running out. What surprised me was that she ran right into my grandmother's arms. "I can't lose him Wilamina." "I know darling."I stood there watching my mom break down and felt my heart clench. I have only really seen my mom like this once before and it was the day that letter came in the mail. Our lives have changed drastically.I went from being raised by a single mom with several honorary Uncles and Aunts to having my real Aunt and Uncles in my life. I also now have two grandpas and a grandmother. I stand there watching my mom crying in my grandmother's arms and can't help but wish my dad will pull through for her sake.I feel someone's arms go around me and I look to see Aunt Lucy. She pulls me close "it's ok baby boy." I let the tears fall down my cheeks as I play the scene in my head of what they are doing to my father.I don't know how long we were all standing outside my dad's room before the doctor came out and pulled my grand
Rebuilding Love 23. Awakening
After Juan told us that his procedure was successful I turned to the family. "Look I don't know if I should be in there he might not remember what has happened the last few days." I could feel my heartbreak admitting to the family that he might not want me around and wouldn't remember Justin. I watched Wilamina smile "then we will tell him the truth." "What if he won't listen?" She chuckled "I will tell him. Believe me, he will let me explain especially since I spoke the loudest against you. I never wavered when I believed you deliberately hurt my son." I nod my head and let them lead us into his room. I let the tears fall as I look at him lying in the bed all because of me. I whisper "why Tris?" I soon feel an arm around my shoulders and look up to see Tom "because he loves you Triny. He never stopped loving you. We all would hear him udder your name in his sleep. Hell, he still does." I look up at him and smile "really?" "Yes, that is why even though mom and dad told
Rebuilding Love 24. Stepping Stones
I chuckle "I was not in your arms." "Ok, with you sleeping on my chest." "That's better and exactly what are you getting at Tris." "Does this mean I get to call you my girl again?" I look at him and I know there is no way I can let him go again. I smile "I don't know if you can handle me." I see him grin and wiggle his eyebrows at me "as soon as the doctor gives me the go-ahead I will show you how much I can handle you. Now answer the question Trin." I hear her sigh and can't help but smile bigger because I know she is going to tell me yes. She sits up and leans over me never taking her eyes off of mine "yes Tris. I love you I have always loved you. I was just too scared to let you into my life again but after you almost died saving my life I knew I had to tell you and let us be together." I brush my hand along his face "I can't live without you, Tris." "I can't live without you."The family didn't take long to show up and Wilamina explained everything to Tristan and he just
Rebuilding Love 25. Hidding
As we headed to the airport it hit me that we are leaving the country and even though I know that Juan and Lucy packed mine and Justin's passports I had no idea if Tristan had his. Looking at Tristan I cleared my throat "uhm, do you have your passport?" He chuckled "yeah, a few years back we were warned that if we travel back and forth regularly to Mexico we would need a passport. Seeing as we used to go there all the time all of us got our passports." "Great so I take it you have it with you?" "Yep, what about you?" Justin laughed "I have them. Aunt Lucy gave them to me while I ran out since Uncle Juan was binging out mom's bags." I smiled as we continued our trip to the airport. It wasn't long before we were all climbing out and waving goodbye to Jose as we headed to McCreery Aviation company since we were using a private plane. As soon as we told them who we were a guy escorted us out to the plane and I handed my luggage to the flight crew and made sure we had our passpo
