Taron and Me
CHAPTER 23 Aftermath
LAST CHAPTER !!!
You still have visits with Kaden, but Kate simply drops him off at the door, and Daniel is nowhere in sight. "I hate Daniel being there with my son" Taron expresses his concerns. "He has caused no direct harm to Kaden" you state. He looks at you, and feels like he may be overreacting. "Yeah, I guess" he says. Kaden runs up to you both to cuddle you. He's such a sweet boy, and extremely polite. "My Mummy told me to give you this" pulling an envelope out of his backpack, handing it to Taron. You look over to the envelope seeing only Taron's name on the front. You feel a sense of jealousy as he thanks Kaden, and goes into his study to read the letter, and closes the door. You look to Kaden, and he's already taken off, looking for the twins.
"Dear Taron, After the other night at the pub, I've decided, Daniel is not the guy to help raise our son. I wasn't aware he was that way after alcohol and I want the best for Kaden, as I'm sure you do also. I'm sorry for the events that unfolded that night towards your wife. I can assure you, Daniel will no longer be around Kaden. I wish things were different, and we ended up together. Kaden is getting older, and misses his Daddy. I know you are happy with your family, but maybe consider Kaden's needs? All my love Kate xx
Taron sits back in his chair, trying to process what he's just read. You enter his study and sense he clearly won't show you the letter, as he pulls the paper to his chest, like a secret. "Didn't mean to intrude" you say, feeling sad he wants to keep this to himself. "It's fine" he says putting it in his desk draw, locking it. "So what did it say?" you ask feeling left out. "Not much really, she broke up with Daniel" he says, hoping you wont keep probing him for anything else. "Why does she need to tell you that?" you ask confused, but know that's not all. "Because he was living in the house with Kaden, and his behaviour is not what she wants for Kaden" he replies. "So can I read it then?" you question. "I've just told you what it said" he says, looking you dead in the eyes. "Yep, ok fine" feeling hurt. You know that was not all, and he knows you know there's more to it. You leave the room to tend to dinner for the kids. You wipe away the tears, serving up the mac and cheese and nuggets for the kids. Taron jumps in the shower. For the first time in your time with Taron, you feel more distant and alone than ever.
The kids are settled in for the night, loving their dinner and falling asleep watching cartoons. You and Taron kiss them all goodnight. You have a shower, locking the door behind you. You see the door knob turning, but turn back around washing your hair. The tears flow in the shower and you try to stay quiet. You finish up, drying your hair and put your pyjama's on. As you pull the sheets over you, Taron looks over to you. "Are you ok babe?" he asks, knowing full well your not. "Yep fine" you reply, as you switch your lamp off beside your bed facing away from him. He leans over to cuddle you. "I'm really hot, sorry" as you shift your body away from him. He returns to his side, feeling heartbroken as you wipe a silent tear from your cheek. You wake a few hours later covered in sweat. Your nightmare of Taron with Kate feels like it's turning into a reality. "What's wrong baby?" Taron sits up to comfort you. "I'm fine Taron" you snap back. He switches his lamp on beside his bed and sees your distress. His head drops. "Do you really wanna see the letter?" He whispers. "Well, I am your wife, so, yeah, it'd be nice to include me" you say, now teary. Taron feels awful keeping it from you. He puts his boxers on and goes to the study to retrieve the letter. He returns as he looks in your eyes with concern.
He hands it to you, and as you begin to read it, your heart is breaking in two. You look up to him, and he has the same heartbroken look in his eyes. "Is this what you want?" you say quietly, now fully crying. "No, I'm with the woman I love, with our children." he replies sternly. "But Kaden..." you trail off, knowing this will always be a factor in Taron's life. "Yeah, he's my son, but this, what we have right here, is all I've ever wanted." he says as he heads down the hall to his study.
Taron sends an email to Kate, with you standing next to him, reading over his shoulder.
Hi Kate, In regards to your letter, I will be applying to have visitation with Kaden on his own. Our relationship didn't work out, so you need to move on. I'm happy with my wife and family, so I will be cutting contact with you completely, unless it's for Kaden's needs. I'm not interested in forming a family unit with you, I already have one, this is exactly where I want to be. Taron
You wipe a tear as he stands from his chair. He wraps his arms around your waist. "You are my home" he whispers in your ear. "My best friend, and my whole heart" you whisper back.
