Chapter 1.54: Rylan the Player Part I

-
I was a little anxious because this was his first play date and what if he bit another kid? Or worse, impaled one with something sharp? Should I make sure there are no sharp objects at this play date? I was also nervous because everyone in our neighborhood knew that I had Rylan when I was seventeen. What if our son would never have any friends because of me?

"Baby, calm down. You're starting to make me feel nervous too and I have to be at work soon," Seth told me. How could I calm down though? What if everything went wrong? "Our boy is just like me, and I make friends easily," he said, with a proud look on his face. I shook my head, there was a number things that could go wrong.


"Just like you? You got into all kinds of trouble when you were a kid!" I said, rolling my eyes.

"Hey it was all in good fun," Seth said, smirking.

"Mama, we go now? Pwease?" Rylan asked as he walked over to me. I sighed, we might as well head out so I could remove all the sharp objects from the area.

"Take care of your mom, son!" Seth yelled as we headed out the door. Rylan giggled as we went out to the car. I silently begged whatever God existed for everything to go well and for them to not judge my son based on my actions.

If I could go back in time I wouldn't change anything, my son was the best part of my life but I always wondered if my irresponsible actions would make him struggle. We had just moved to this house a few days ago because we could finally afford to move to a better neighborhood and so far the neighbors weren't too bad. They hadn't judged his us yet, and I prayed they never would.

Everyone made mistakes, and mine turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I smiled as I drove us to the park; Seth was right. Everything would be fine.

Tabitha "Daddy, can we talk?" I asked. I kept thinking about what I overheard mother saying to this boy, and I couldn't believe it. If what she said was true, then I had two siblings I didn't know about and it was kind of upsetting. All I've ever been told was that I was an only child, and now it's like my whole world turned upside down. "Yes sweetheart?" Daddy asked, smiling at me. I always loved how he talked to me, like I was the only thing that mattered. I smiled, but then shook my head. "Who are Joseph and Valentine?" I asked. I wasn't sure what I was expecting to hear but I sure didn't expect to see the color drain from his face. He looked genuinely afraid, but of what? "Where did you hear about them?" Daddy asked me, and I frowned. "Mother was talking to someone, I think his name was Hayden or something?" I asked, shrugging. The boy wasn't important but the names were, the names of

Authors Note: This chapter starts Serene into the story, or more accurately her point of view. Now that Toby is dead, she officially gets her debut! Also, their wonderful new house they live in is thanks to Glenkarri from the D.N.A team! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mama decided it was best if they move, because papa and the old house was too sad. The old house was filled with the haunting old tunes of the piano, the laughter from when he told us silly jokes and the sweet sound of his voice when he read her bedtime stories. This house, it meant nothing to Serene. It wasn't where her papa was, and it wasn't where she wanted to be.    This house made her feel so lonely, so alone. She had been so sad, and cried all the time at first but now she was angry. She was so angry at her mama; it was all her fault that papa died. Serene had heard something, a very bad something and it changed everything.  --------------

Valentine "Umm, I don't know. I wasn't there when my papa died. Why are you asking all these questions?" Serene asked me. I couldn't really tell a ten year old that I wasn't sure why her father died. Hell, I couldn't tell her anything because I didn't want her to say anything to anyone. The last thing I needed was something to happen to Isobel's little sister. "Just making sure everything in the case is all good to go," I said, smiling. I really hoped Serene isn't that bright, maybe my bullshit lie won't be seen through and I can convince her not to worry. "Really, I'm just doing my job. Rookie work, ya know?" I said. "So, nothing new came up?" Serene asked. I had to admit I was surprised by her question, maybe she knew something wasn't adding up and she could help me. "You live with my sister right?" she asked. "Yeah," I answered. "Keeping her safe?"
