 After a very very long road trip Arvilla arrived at Carol's.  She would be leaving both women there since Margene's car was still parked at the house.


"Thank you girls for sticking it out and not ditching me." Arvilla says with a giggle.

"Oh Arvilla, never!  We love you!" Carol says.

"I love you too."

"You look exhausted!  Let Arlo and I drive you home."

"No, I'm okay.  I'm not far anyway."

"You should've let us drive some of the way." Margene says.

"No, it's fine.  It relaxes me." Arvilla smiles softly.

"Now go on, you two.  Carol, I know you're dying to see your family!"

"I am excited!
  Alright, well we'll see you Monday!"

"See you Monday!" Arvilla's smile grows.  She was so excited for her appointment.

"Well.. we're home." Arvilla walks in and drops her purse.  She then places her hand on her stomach and pats it softly. "This is your home, baby.
.. Well I guess you've been here before, haven't you?  I just didn't know you were hanging out in there!" She laughs.

Arvilla then looks around and takes a deep breath.  ".. We're home, Joe."

Arvilla of course still has a sadness in her heart.  A piece of her is now gone.  However, she knows Joe will always be with her, just in a different way.

"We'll be okay, baby H.  I know we will.  Daddy has our backs." Arvilla smiles as she talks to her unborn baby.  She knew things would be alright for her and her baby.  She felt secure.  She knew Joe was always protecting her.

Monday morning.
Francine's POV.

"You got a letter from Arvilla." Francine's husband Bill says as he hands her today's mail.

Francine sighs and tosses it to the side.

"Aren't you going to read it?"

"Why?  I never have to see that woman again.  I'm calling the realtor now.  I want her out of daddy's house immediately!"

"Just read the damn letter, Francine.  Hear her out."

"What?  Are you on her side?"

"No.  But you know your father loved her.  You know he would want her to be protected."

"I don't believe that.  He didn't put her in the will!"

"Francine, give it up already!  Just hear the girl out and read her letter!  You don't have to always be so hateful!"

"Excuse me?  Get out of my office!"

Bill doesn't fight back, and leaves.  He wasn't in the mood for this right now.

Francine sighs and looks for the number of the realtor she spoke to a couple weeks back.
She then picks up the receiver and begins dialing.

The phone rings.  Francine just stares at Arvilla's letter.
Suddenly Francine hangs up and takes the letter in her hands.

Francine reads it and anger fills her body.  Just knowing Arvilla wrote this made her mad.

"Next I would like for you to know that I have found your father's will he made after him and I were married." Francine rolls her eyes.

"Yeah well we'll see about that-" She says as her eyes scan over; "I plan to stay in our home and raise our baby in a place we created so many memories."

"Your what?  Her What?!" Francine continues reading.

"But.. What?  WHAT THE FUCK!" She screams.

Bill then walks into her office.
"She found your father's will, didn't she?"

"That's not all she found!"

"What?"

"This bitch!  She-she.. She's Pregnant!"

"What?  I wasn't expecting that!"

"She said she hopes we talk and that she hopes I will meet the baby.  No!  No, absolutely not!"

"I mean.. it is your sibling, Fran."

"It is NOT!  Anything that come out of that horrible woman is not my sibling!  I'm about to be in my forties and you're trying to tell me I'm going to have a new sibling?  Hell no.  I have my siblings that came from My Mother.  That is all."

"I understand this may be strange for you, but I really think you should think of your dad.
  He's not able to raise this child.  You know he wouldn't want you to turn your back on him or her."

"Well.. Daddy would understand that I just can't do that." Francine rips Arvilla's letter and throws it in the trash.
