Mr.Gregeory said nothing, too weak to use his voice but his eyes was where all of the strength lied. He was at peace and happy to finally have his grandson in his presence.

I couldn't have been more happier to hear power talking to him as if the voice of god himself had gotten into him.

I just stood back with my father and embraced this moment I thought would never happen.

"Thank you so much, Madison. How are you?" Ms.Charlotte asked finally making her way to me with an expression of thankfulness.

I nodded as she took my hand into her, smiling.

"I hope this is the first step to us becoming a family." She uttered.

"Only time will tell, I have to keep my sons best interest at heart." I replied uneasy.

Ms.Charlotte stared at me speechless.

"I just... for many years I've always wanted to reach out to you but didn't know how. I don't want to take you threw what happened but please realize Kamrons never admitted to it but I still want to apologize with all
Of my heart on behalf of our family. I would never have raised my son in that manner and I pray to god you can find it in your heart to allow us power. We love him so dearly, but the circumstances made us miss out on so many years that I regret deeply we can't get back."

"I think there's a time and place for this. If you will please Ms.Charlotte let today focus on your husband and enjoying our time with power." My dad voiced stepping forward to help me respond because I had honestly frozen.

She smiled uneasily nodding in agreeance as she patted me on the hand that she was still holding and walked away.

I looked up at my father without voicing it and said thank you.

I glimpsed over at Ericka who I noticed refused to give me any means of eye contact. Her presence here told me one of two things that she was still in contact with Kamron and his family or that the ring on her left finger signaled she was engaged to him or someone.

But her persona with me being in the room pointed towards the second notion.

She must've felt my eyes on her because she exhaled and finally turned her sights to me with a blank expression that said everything similar to "Fuck you".

I wasn't going to be intimidated again though. I allowed my eyes to
Remain on her as we connected eyes and it dawned on me she had to be Kamrons wife.

"Can I speak with you outside Madison, please." Ericka finally mentioned aloud catching me off guard, as my father asked me.

"Why?"

"It's okay dad." I assured him heading for the door where she followed me not long after.

The hall was silent but her demeanor was screaming anger.

Surprisingly she held her composure as she began.

"I don't want this to be awkward between us." Ericka stated softly staring me deep in the eyes.

"Why would it be?" I replied trying to get to the point but also letting her know I was no longer that teenage lost girl she knew.

"This entire Kamron thing. I'm not sure if you know but he proposed to me yesterday so I'm
Going to to be around for good. As powers step mother I want us to have a great relationship and rapport that you trust me and feel comfortable whenever I'm around."

I gasped shaking my head in confusion. "Ericka I don't think you understand."

She was speaking as if we were just going to be a combined family and not on the circumstances that I was raped by this man she's calling her fiancé and my child was a product of it.

Ericka's facial expression changes as she asked, "well could you elaborate on it more?"

I tucked my natural silk hair behind my ear as I inhaled.

"I don't want anything to do with Kamron and neither does my son. We'll never have to feel uncomfortable because we'll never be in his presence."

As I uttered those words Erickas facial expression of utter confusion turned to that of shock as she glimpsed behind me as if she had seen a ghost.

I slowly caught the drift and turned in the opposition direction my back was and realized Kamron was at the top of the hall talking to a nurse.

"Madison please he had no idea you would be here. Let me get rid of him." She stuttered in a fluster practically begging me.

My heart rate increased tremendously as I saw the boy who was now a man that had both ruined and blessed me.

He looked a bit the same other than a beard and a bit buffer than the slender quarterback physique he use to wear.

My feet moved before my mouth as I rushed into the room, demanded to power.

"It is time to go honey, now... we have to leave now."
