Welcome Home

While Ryan drove them home, Josh fell asleep, and as Abigail sat in the backseat with him, she looked down at him, her heart filled with love for him.

She could see how much he resembled Jamal. She sighed softly as she thought about Jamal and the possibility of running into him again.

She knew she probably should have confided in him but she couldn't make such a decision hastily.

As much as she loved Josh and was happy to have him, one hasty decision years ago had brought her to this point where she had a son who didn't even know she was his mother.

He didn't even know her real face or the sound of her voice. She loved Josh but if she could do it all again, she wouldn't have a child under this circumstances.

She wouldn't have brought an innocent child into her mess. Hearing Josh refer to Ryan as Dad made her skin crawl. Ryan was a stranger to her. She didn't even know who he was, and she hated that her son was referring to him as his father.
