Angels Do Exist, chapter 4
"Who is he?" Mike heard an unfamiliar female voice say.
"My escorts, don't tell Dad, please," Mike heard another female say, Kiara.
"Why shouldn't I tell him, you've never done anything for me!" the voice responded.
"I haven't? Aren't I the one that carried your child for about 9 months, then got made fun at school, and I'm still raising yourson when I'm home?" Kiara said.
"Don't bring Seth into this?" the other voice said.
"Seth is the only thing right I did in this world!" Kiara screamed back.
Mike heard the patter of barefeet hit the hardwood floor and open his eyes just a slit to see a boy, about 18 months old, walking to Kiara and crying.
"Mommy, why are you screaming?" the boy asked with round eyes that were glassy from crying. Kiara picked up the boy and cradled his head on her shoulder.
"Shh little guy, it's all right, Mommy's not screaming anymore." She looked at Mike, whose eyes were all the way open.
"Mike... this is Seth, he's...." he paused, Mike understood.
"This is your son," he said, Kiara nodded and put her head on Seth's.
"Mommy, who that?" Seth asked. Mike chuckled and rested a hand on Seth's head and looked into his eyes. They were blue, grey, and green, just like Kiara's. He also had her nose and blonde hair.
"He looks just like you Kiara," Mike said. She blushed and kissed Seth's cheek, wiped his cheek from the tears and smiled.
"Mommy, who is that?" Seth insisted again. She forgot he asked and introduced them, "Seth, this is Mike, say hello."
"Yewwow," Seth said, Mike bowed and said, "good to meetcha Seth." Billie and Tre' had woken up just then to see a child in Kiara's arms. Kiara looked at both of them, "Tre', Billie, this is Seth," she paused and they got it.
"Good to see you Seth," Billie said and bowed so his nose was touching his shoes and Seth giggled and clapped his hands together. Tre' just scoffed and ruffled Seth's hair, well, the hair he had.
It was soon noon, and Seth was getting tired from everyone playing with him. "Seth, time for your noon nap," Kiara said.
"But Mommy! I'm not..." he paused to yawn, "tired," he said drowzily. She picked him up and set him in the cradle and softly sang to him as Billie Joe, Mike, and Tre' watched from the doorway.
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....i hope you dance.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....i hope you dance.
I hope you dance....i hope you dance.
Mike started to sing the harmony as Kiara continued singing, he walked to the side of the cradle and looked at Seth, who's eyes were halfway closed.
Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
Dance....i hope you dance.
I hope you dance....i hope you dance.
I hope you dance....i hope you dance..
Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.
Tre' looked at the two in disbelief, they turned around and Kiara was weeping. They sat on the couch and looked at her. "Wanna talk about it?" Tre' asked Kiara, she nodded. Mike looked at her and pulled her to sit on his lap and held her.
"Ok, Kiara, let me ask you something," Billie said, Kiara looked at him, "who's the father?" he asked. Kiara looked Billie straight in the eye and said, "my sister's boyfriend, I had that artifical stuff done to me, it was pure heck, but my sister wanted a kid, the bad thing is, Seth is more connected to me then anyone and she hates it!"
Everyone looked at Kiara, she was too young, too beautiful, too wild to be a mother, yet here she was, already singing her son to sleep. Somehow, Seth had gotten out of his crib just in time so that he didn't hear the conversation. He ran to his mom and jumped into her lap, "Mommy, I had a bad dream!" he yelled out. She held onto him, "sshh, I've got you Baby Boy, Mommy's here, there are no more bad dreams," she whispered. Seth clung for his life onto his mother, the only protection he had in his life, her hair tickled his nose and he giggled.
Kiara looked at Seth and smiled, she took a stand of her hair and tickled his nose and he giggled. "No Mommy stop!" he squealed, she laughed and put her long hair over Seth's head and giggled. This scene made Mike's heart melt, along with Billie Joe and Tre'.
Seth hugged his mother and clung onto her, "I wuve you Mommy," was all he said before he fell asleep in Kiara's lap. Billie Joe weeped, hoping he was going to have a family like that, with a boy like Seth, Tre' was bawling and smiled when Kiara looked at him. Mike, smoothed Kiara's hair and Seth woke up, and crawled into Mike's arms and fell back asleep and he cried. Kiara kissed his cheek and smiled.
"Why? Why couldn't your sister have chosen someone else, like her friends or something?" Mike said. Kiara just shrugged, "because she wanted to kid to look like us, plus my sister didn't want her to become attached to the baby and have her boyfriend pay for it." Somehow, it made sense.
"Kiara, you shouldn't have to go through with this you know, how can you stand all of this?" Mike said with Seth still in his arms. Kiara just looked at Seth and repeated what she said earlier,
"Seth is the only thing I've done right in this world, he gives me my strength, he is the only reason I keep myself alive everyday, just so he's alive, even though he's supposed to be my sister's, he's still my baby, the source of life that I gave to him, I didn't want this, so don't say that I did, but now that he's here, I wouldn't have done anything less."
"I've honestly never met anyone like you, you know that Kiara?" Mike said after Seth had woken up and eating his lunch. "Is that good or bad?" she asked. He chuckled and hugged her. "It's good, don't worry."
"Mommy! Where's Biwwie?" Seth yelled out, Kiara gave him a confusing glance, Billie? She laughed when Billie Joe came in and started playing with Seth, Billie Joe was now his offical play buddy. Then she looked around for Tre' and saw him just coming out of the bathroom.
But, like trash, they had to go. "I wanna thank you," Mike said to Kiara, she looked at him, "why?"
"Because you've taught me a lesson about judgment today," he said and the rest nodded in agreement. "Oh, ok, come back soon, Seth really likes you guys, and Mike, somehow you got him to sleep, only I can do that," she smiled at him and hugged them all.
"My escorts, don't tell Dad, please," Mike heard another female say, Kiara.
"Why shouldn't I tell him, you've never done anything for me!" the voice responded.
"I haven't? Aren't I the one that carried your child for about 9 months, then got made fun at school, and I'm still raising yourson when I'm home?" Kiara said.

"Mommy, who that?" Seth asked. Mike chuckled and rested a hand on Seth's head and looked into his eyes. They were blue, grey, and green, just like Kiara's. He also had her nose and blonde hair.
"He looks just like you Kiara," Mike said. She blushed and kissed Seth's cheek, wiped his cheek from the tears and smiled.
