Hey everyone! I know it's been a while since I last posted, but here it is, part 5! This part isn't that awesome, but if you don't mind please have a read through and comment at the end!!!
It was around 9:00 that night when Lily was asleep in the guest bedroom in the Molloy house. Maria and Sam were talking about their jobs and other random things when there was a small knock at the door. Maria sighed as Sam got up to go answer it. He opened the door to find Colby standing there.
“Hi.” Colby said weakly. “Could I please talk to her?” He asked. Maria walked up next to Sam in the doorway. She nodded her head to Sam and he left the two alone as the walked outside and sat on the first step.
“What do you want Colby?” Maria asked him.
“I am going to tell you why.” He said with sad eyes. “But you will probable hate me more then ever.” Maria just nodded.
“Okay, so back home I had a girlfriend.” Colby began, but was cut off by Maria.
“Oh of course that’s great Smith.” She said, throwing her hands in the air. Colby rubbed his hand over his face as he continued with his story.
“So one of my officers found out about us and called her and told her about us. And after you were shot, she got a call in, and told me she was pregnant with my baby. She told me I would have to choose between you or my child Maria.” Colby explained, hoping that she would understand, from begin a mom now. Maria just nodded.
“So you left, and I got your letters, and I still have them. But I thought that I should not drag you along like that, and I knew if I told you why you would hate me. But when I got home, she told me there was no baby. That she lied so I would stay with her and not leave her for you. I lost it and I left her. But that same officer that told her about us had burned all of your contact information; I had no idea how to find you. Maria I am so sorry.” Colby finished reaching out and holding her hand. Tears were spilling out of Maria’s eyes as she looked up at him.
“Oh my god Colby. I thought you were dead! I wish you had of told me! Then I would never spent the past five years getting over the fact that you were dead! God Colby, you should have told me!” Maria began to cry and she rested her head in her hands not begin able to move.
“Maria you have no idea how sorry I am. I was such an idiot. Please forgive me.” Colby said, begging.
“Forgive you?” Maria asked. “I can’t do that now Colby, not yet anyways. I just can’t.” Maria said back. Colby just nodded and stood back up. He opened up the door for her and she walked back inside. Colby walked away even more sadder.
“What happened?” Sam asked as he saw her come into the house.
“He told me why.” She simply said, looking down at her feet.
“Do you want to tell me?” Sam asked her.
“His girlfriend told him she was pregnant and that he had to choose between me or his child. But when he got home there was no baby and some officer burned all of my contact information.” She said sobbing.
“Maria I am so sorry.” Sam said hugging her closely. Maria looked up at him with tears in her eyes. Sam brought his face closer to hers and kissed her lips softly. Maria broke the kiss.
“Sam, we can’t. Not again.” Sam nodded and broke away from her and walked out of the house to leave for his own apartment. Leaving her there alone.
A few moments later Alan came up from inside his den. “Maria, darling Lily is sound asleep, so you two can just stay her for tonight. Okay my dear?” Alan asked coming down the stairs.
“Yes Alan. Thank you” Maria replied hugging the old man as she walked up the stairs to the guest bedroom where her daughter slept soundly. The guest bedroom was once Sam’s bedroom and as Maria walked in memories from when they were teenagers flooded back to her. She remembered the day of Sam’s high school graduation. She was only a freshman at the time, Max’s age, but her and Sam were still very close. There were people flooding the house and she could tell Sam was getting annoyed. Before she said anything Sam took her hand and he brought her to that room. They kissed for what seemed like hours until Max knocked on the door saying their grandparents were there.
She smiled at the memory. Her and Sam were never “together”, but they always stole moments like that together. Maria went to sleep thinking about that memory.
