Chapter 173
Ten years have gone by since Thomas's mother has passed away, ten years have gone since that awful night shared between Thomas and Alana. A lot has happened in the last ten years.
Alana and Thomas are still married, they put that night and the past behind them like they said they would, just this time they did. It took a lot for both of them, but they did it. Thomas knew Luke wasn't coming back into the picture, and Alana knew Luke was just her fantasy. It was time to let go.
Thomas and Alana became the best of friends, something they never were before. They share everything with each other and are honest with one another. Once Thomas let everything out in the open that he knew, they stayed that way. Always there for each other, and their kids.
Alana loved Thomas in her own way, still not madly in love with him, but she felt love for him. She admired the man that he has become, and she adored him for taking her daughter as his own. It was something she would never forget, it meant the world to her.
Lucia was now twenty years old, Tommy now called Tom was thirty-six. Their children were no longer babies and had their own lives. Tom was now a vet and co-owner with his mother. Judy still worked with them here and there answering the phones, and making appointments. Lucia was taking college classes and wanted to be a computer technician. She had the skills from her real father. She didn't only look like him, she thought like him as well. Alana saw more and more of him in her each day. She would just smile and know a piece of Luke was with her always. A piece no one could ever take away.
Thomas saw the Lucia had a lot of Luke in her also, he just did his best to dismiss it. He raised her, she was his and no one could change that for him. He just knows in the back of his mind one day, she may know the truth. That he wasn't really her father, and that scares him to death. Would she hold him making Luke go away against him? Would she want to find him and bring him back into their lives? For Thomas even though time went on and he let go of everything, things still hung over him. Luke was always there due to this child, the only thing was Thomas loved this child more than anything. She was his in every way of the word.
As the ten years went on, Sr. was finally happy himself. Nancy and he moved in together. They have a wonderful real relationship. One Thomas and his sister Nicole never thought possible. Thomas dropped the resentment towards his father, seeing that being with the right person makes you a different person. He just wishes his mother would have gotten the same but sees that wasn't meant to be. Sr. and Thomas have remained close through these ten years. But even as close as they have gotten Thomas never told him the truth of Lucia. That was one thing he keeps to himself. He knows how his father felt about it, and now how close Alana and Sr have gotten. He doesn't want this to get in the way of things that have grown so nicely.
For Luke, the last ten years have been all about his work and his daughter who is also now twenty. Whitney and Luke are still together, as time went on, they just adjusted to the way things were. Their daughter is older now and having her own life, which makes Luke feel a bit alone. So he just focuses more on his own work-life, he now has his own computer company which he runs with Brad. They are still very close friends.
Time has gone one for all of them, in different ways. Just in some, they stayed the same. Luke never forgot Alana, and she never forgot him. They just had to let go cause life made them.
