Re: Secret is love
Chapter 11
By the time they got back into the city Sara’s phone had rung twice but she hadn’t answered it.
On the third Emma wake up and said “Just answer it please”.
So Sara answered it.
“Sidle”
“Is this Sara Sidle?”
“Yes who is this?”
“Sara it’s your mother.”
“Mom, I haven’t heard from you since Theo was born. How are you?”
“I need to see you but other than that I’m fine.”
“Where are you?”
“Lake Meid. I live out here now. I’ve been out of prison now for 3 years.”
“why are you calling?”
“I need to meet up with you and Christopher. It’s important, can you meet me today?”
“I don’t know. I’ll call Chris & ask him but if so when & what time?”
“1pm by the calamari restaurant. I have grey hair now Sara Sunshine and a few more wrickles”
“okay if it’s that important. I’ll be there but I’ll talk to Chris. I’ll see you then. Bye mother”
“Bye sunshine.”
Gil turned Sara when they had stopped at the lights.
“Do you want me to come?”
greg was on the phone to James trying to find where they were living.
“If you don’t mind. She says it’s important. Gil I haven’t seen here since Theo was born”
They continued on their way.
It was 11am when they final reached a big house with 2 cars in the drive way.
There were two boys playing catch in the front yard.
Everyone hoped out of the car.
Emma heard the older one say “If you throw it any harder you’re going to broke a window. Remember what Chris said last time you broke a window”
“Yeah that I should be playing football instead of baseball. Aaron there’s people in the drive way”
Aaron turned around and said when he saw Emma “Emma what are you doing here? Hello Blaze”
“Aaron this is dad. Do you remember who this is?” Emma said pointing to Sara.
Aaron dropped the ball and hugged Sara “mom”
“Aaron you’re grown. I heard you’ve finished high school”
“Yeah top of my class. That’s my dad isn’t he. James talks about you all the time. Uncle James is at work but uncle Chris and the girls are here too.” Aaron said leading them to the house.
He turned around to Theo and said “Theo clean up the lawn then go clean your room”
“Sure things next game is basketball.”
They headed inside.
A voice said as they walked in the front door “Aaron wipe your feet.”
They continued in after everyone had wiped their feet.
“Chris where are you?”
“in the dining room. Why?”
“we have visitors.”
He guided them to the living room which joined on to the dining room.
They were greeted by banging music upstairs.
Sara saw Chris standing in the arch way.
“Hey big bro” Sara said.
“Oh My God Sara” Chris ran up and took her in a hug.
“Chris this is Gil, Emma who is Gil’s daughter and Greg is Emma’s fiancée”
“Who’s the little guy?”
“That would be my grandson Blaze” Gil said shaking Chris’s hand.
After introductions were done Sara told Chris that their mother wanted to see them at 1pm.
Chris agreed but decided to meet them there.
About 20 minutes before going to the restaurant, Sara borrowed Gil’s bathroom and took a Clearblue with her.
She read the instructions and took the test. She was late by a few days, the night before wasn’t the first time that she had slept with Gil.
It had been 2 weeks since the first time they had slept together after a drunken night out with the team.
Sara thought to herself ‘why now? God what will Gil say?’
The time ran out, she turned to look at the test. Double lines. Positive.
“Shit”
she took the test out with her after finishing and washing her hands.
Gil was sitting on the couch with a bottle of water.
He looked up to see Sara uncomfortable.
“Sara are you okay?”
She placed the test down on the table in front of him.
“is this what I think it is?”
Sara nodded.
“Another baby”
“Yeah. Do you remember that night 2 weeks ago that we got drunk?”
“slightly. You’re two weeks gone are you sure?”
“no but I want to go to that community clinic in town to check after we go to this meeting.”
“sara I know that this is may not what you want but would you consider in marrying me?”
“I’ll consider it okay. Can we go?”
“Sure. This bottle is for you. I’ll get some more for the car.”
Laura sat in the restaurant looking at two birth certificates.
Chris was the first to arrive, he saw her there.
“Christopher is that you?” laura said
“yeah mom it’s me. See Sara & Gil aren’t here yet” Chris said
“Gil who?”
“Sara’s boyfriend”
“how have you been Christopher?”
“Good. The twins are two different people. James is a mechanic he’s actually working at his new job today.”
“Theodore?”
“he’s good still in school. I have him enrolled at the school I’m working at next year and Aaron your grandson graduated from high school a month ago.”
Gil and Sara pulled into the restaurant.
“Are you okay with this?” Sara said
“the baby or being here to meet you’re mom”
“Both!”
“I’m fine Sara. Are you?”
“The baby yes. Mom I’m not to sure with.”
They arrived at the table when Laura and Chris were talking.
“Chris”
“Sara. Mom this is Gil. Gil our mother”
Laura shook Gil’s hand.
“sara you’re glowing.”
“nice to see you too mother” Sara said sitting down.
They had a meal and got down to business.
“why did you want to see chris & me?” Sara said.
“to give you these?” Laura passed them their birth certificates.
