Chapter 1.55: Rylan the Player Part II

-

I have to admit, I was not expecting this at all but there was my son hugging that other toddler. What was her name? I suppose it doesn't matter, but what did matter was my son hugging her and the immediate thought of her mother getting angry at me, or worse at him.

"Ry-Ry, play with me?" the cute voice of the toddler asked him. Ry-Ry? The girl had already given him a nickname? How cute, maybe this wasn't a bad thing that they were that close together. I then realized that her mother wasn't running or yelling at anyone, not even my son for touching her daughter.

"Yep!" Rylan replied happily, smiling at her. Okay, I thought, this wasn't horrible. No, this was great.
I followed quietly behind them as they went over to the slide and watched as the girl, Kealyn, attempted to climb the slide. She had almost fell backwards a few time and her mother was chatting away with someone on the other side of the park. Deciding that I couldn't let her get hurt because what kind of parent would I be if I let my son's first friend get hurt?

I walked over, and stood behind her with hands on her back as she climbed up the ladder; cheering when she stood up on the top and smiled as her mom turned to mouth thank you in my direction. I nodded back, smiling at her.



"Okay," I said, encouraging the little girl to slide down as she looked down the slide in uncertainty. "I got you, come on down," I coaxed her. I smiled and kept talking to her as she slowly sat down then with one more encouragement I cheered as she came sliding down as she giggled.

"Yay Kea!" Rylan said at the bottom of the ladder. I laughed, my son was probably going to have all the girls following him after him. "My turn! My turn!" he said, giggling.


"Hold on, let me get over there to make sure you don't fall," I said and then walked back around the slide.

"I'm old 'nough to do it," Rylan said.

"Look mommy, I'm superman!" Rylan said, smiling and waving at Kealyn's older sister.

"What a cute superman you are," I said, grinning at him. He made a face then started to sit down so I hurried over to the other side so I could catch him.


"Weeeee!" Rylan yelled as he slid down the slide. "Where did Kea go?" he asked. I set him down and looked around. "Mommy, can I play with her some more?" Rylan asked me.

"Yeah, I think she went to the ball pit. Maybe?" I said, smiling at him.

Chapter 1.47: A Tragic Past

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?"
