    Love Is A Fragile Thing 29

     

    “Sorry I’m back late. The kids said ‘Hi’ you know you left quite an impression on them the last time you saw them. They loved the gifts you got for them.”

     

    They sat for a few minutes listening to the music play in the background. She hated seeing him this way. They sat for a little while more when Melvin slowly opened his eyes. He looks at Bette then Tina and back to Bette again.

     

    “Daddy?”

     

    “Water,” he says in a low and scratchy voice.

     

    Bette grabs a cup of water and a small syringe. She puts the end into it and sucks up some water into the instrument. She puts it in his mouth and puts a few drops of water in. She does this a few more times until he was done.

     

    Melvin closed his eyes for a moment and opened them up again. He stared at Bette.

     

    “I’m sorry.”

     

    “For what daddy?”

     

    “Forgive me” He pauses to take a breath.

     

    “Daddy you don’t have to say anything.”

     

    “Forgive me Elizabeth.” A few tears rolled out from his eyes.

     

    “Oh daddy I love you.” She held his hand and silently cried into them.

     

    “If Icould have my lifebackthere would beso manythings I wouldlike to change.” He took a few moments again because each word was taking so much from him he was already tired.

     

    Tina had to wipe a few tears from her face. She knew that Bette would never forget this moment.

     

    “Where is Katie?”

     

    “She couldn’t make it today daddy, it’s been very busy at the Plant lately she just couldn’t get away.”

     

    At that moment Melvin could feel it, ‘it’ meaning his life fading away, but he had a few more things to say before he left.

     

    “Tell Katie I love herso very much.”

     

    “I will daddy.”

     

    Melvin looks over to Tina.

     

    “Tina come closer.”

     

    Tina was a little startled by this she slowly moved her chair closer. Melvin held out his hand for her to take. She hesitantly took it. He held out his other hand for Bette to take and she took it as well. And with all the strength that he had left he took both their hands and put them together. Now the three of them had their hands together.

    1. I think you better get the next chapter posted ASAP. This is a total trip! I’m looking forward to hearing Maxine’s side of the story where Melvin is concerned. Who will Bette turn to for comfort? Tina? They have some serious talking to do that’s for sure.Please post soon!
