Pauline woke up on the sound of her phone runging. She opened one eye and with her good hand she grabbed her phone. She checked the ID before she answered. "Yeah..." she said with voise just waken up. "Did i wake you up?" "You did." "Great! In about 45 minutes will be there." Ava said with extement in her voise. "Why?" "I thought you wanted to be on the ultrasound. WE're going to find the baby's sex today. Plus, i don't want my dad to be alone with Alex and i are with the doctor." Ava explained.
"In that case, alright." "I knew i should have told you this first. Anyway, get dressed, see you in a few." Ava said and hung up. Pauline hund up too and stood up from the bed. She smiled. Even though Ava just woke her up like she did she was happy for her. She can imagine how much she wanted this baby. They had talked about their future plans more than once when they were in High School.
Smiling Pauline walked down the stairs. Entering the kitchen she found her mother sitting and drinking her coffee. "Good morning Mum!" she said with a smile. "Good morning. Why are you up this early? Sre you going somehwere?" Katerina said looking at he clock on the wall. It was only 9.00 am. "Yeah, i'm going to New York. Ava has the ultrasound today and i i'll go with them." Pauline answered and pured herself a cup of coffee.
"Great! You want some toast?" her mother asked with a smile. "Yeah, sure. Thank you." Pauline answered and her mother stood up to make her toast. "You know, your father told me that on the 5th of February the house will be ready." Katerina said as she start making the toast. "Really? That soon? When i stopped by with Jesse the last week they told us about on 10th February." Pauline asked suprised but she really didn't care why. The only thing that matters was that they'll move to their house sooner.
"I know, but don't forget that your Dad's owns this company." "How could i forget that? I'll call Jesse later and tell him the good news." Pauline said as her mother passed her the toast. "Thanks. It looks delicious." she started and took a bite. "And tastes even better." "Is not the first time i cook you toast, Pauline." her mother replied and drunk a sip of her coffee. "I know, but i think every time you're getting better on this." Pauline finished her toast and went upstairs to get ready.
A few minutes later she walked down the stairs dressed and ready to go. With her phone on the hand and the sunglasses on the head she left her house. She was waiting there on the driveway not for too long when the car with Alex, Ava and Richie stopped in front of her. Smiling she opened the door of the backseat and sut next to Richie. "Good morning guys!" she said as she closed the door. "Morning Angel, how is your arm doing. I saw your fall on TV and i felt really bad for you." Richie was the fastest and answered first. "It's okay now. And i saw my fall too on YouTube. My sister take care of it." Pauline answered.
About one hou and a half later Alex pulled the car on the parking lot. The four of them walked in the hospital. Ava and Alex had came before for the first ultrasound and they knew the way. Pauline and Richie followed them. They turned to a hallway and sut there. "What time is your appointement?" Pauline asked as she sut down. "At 11.00. When they're ready they call out my name. I've done that before." Ava answered and sut next to her best friend.
They waited in silence when a doctor came out and yelled "Mrs Wilson?" both Alex and Ava stood up and followed the doctor and closed the door behind them. As the door closed Pauline looked next to her to Richie who it was obvious that he was nervous. "Why so nervous?" she broke the silence. "I'm not nervous. Is just the anxesty of the father to his daughter. You'll understand the feeling when you'll become a mother." Richie simply answered.
"If you say so." "How long this will take?" "I don't know. Maybe an hour or so?" Pauline answered not having a clue how this is going to take. "That much?" he asked back suprised. "Richie relax. They just walked in here." she started. She knew that this propably will take more than she told him. "Come on. Let's get some coffee." she said and stood up. "Nice idea, Angel. My treat." Richie answered and stood up. "You know, i'm not 16 anymore. And i was the one with the idea." Richie looked down for a second and smiled. "Okay, for this time."
"You know Angel, one day i remembered the first time you came in my house. It was really funny. And by the way what your friend Maria is doing? I haven't heard news from her in a while on twitter." Richie started while he was walking next to Pauline. "She's doing fine. She almost had a heart attack when you wished her happy birthday maybe she's still in the hospital." "Why are you kidding an old man?" Richie asked and Pauline laughed. "Alright you got me. Her daughter was sick and she wasn't too active these days." Pauline informed him. "Oh, i hope she'll feel better." "Yeah, i hope that too. And i must tell you that she's your youngest fan i know, and trust me i know a lot of people around the world."she said.
"Really? How old is she?" "On July she's turn to 4. And she already knows some of your songs and she wants to marry Adam. So, be ready about it." Pauline answered and both laughed. "I'm not kidding. Every time i call she asked me how are you doing and if Adam has a girlfriend." "This is amazing." Richie answered very suprised. He couldn't believe that 4 year old girl from Greece will be such a huge fan. "I know you're suprised. Both of her parents are huge fans of the band and you. It logical for their kid to be your fan." Pauline expleind. It was very easy for her to understand it because she was a fan. But Richie next to her was looking a little confuised.
"Why so confuised?" she asked him. "I'm not confuised, Angel. Is just.... i don't know. How they met each other?" "Very funny story. One day Maria and her sister had a fight. Her sister was so pissed and broke into pieces the Aftermath. Well, i'm not going to say what happend after that. Anyway, the next day she went on the store to buy a new one. She found it but the same time an another man was looking for it too, the was her hasband. To sum up, he bought the album for her and ordered his. Then they went out for a coffee..." Pauline explained.
"Okay, i think i need this coffee now." Richie answered suprised and confuised in the same time. "Yeah, sure. I'll be right back." Pauline answered and went to buy two cups of coffee. She returned to Richie a few minutes later. She passed his coffee. "Here." "Thanks." Richie answered and drunk a sip. "Nice story. I mean real story." "Yeah, when she told me that, i thought she made them up." "You were invited on their wedding?" "I was, but i was only 18 back then and my parents didn't let me go. Maria is 4 years older than me." "Oh." "I think they should finished by now." Pauline said checked the hour on her watch. "Yeah, let's go." he answered and walked back to where they started.
"In that case, alright." "I knew i should have told you this first. Anyway, get dressed, see you in a few." Ava said and hung up. Pauline hund up too and stood up from the bed. She smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After leaing Richie home Alex took the route for Pauline's house. "Pauline and i are going for a walk. You know to have some girl time." Ava said. "Oh, fine by me. That means you're taking the car and i'll go home." Alex answered from the driver's seat. "Sorry, babe. But you know how is Pauline and i together." "You don't have apologize. I understand." Alex said and smiled. He really understand her needs. They need to talk about things that ava can not talk with him. And he tottaly understand that. "Thank you." Ava answered and looked out of the window.
Pauline was sitting on the backseat of the car. She listened the conversation from the front seat and left her compitely speechless. Ava and her didn't plan anything after the hospital. Ava had something in mind and Pauline has no idea what that will be. She diseded to remaind silent and wait until they are alone to tell Ava. This time didn't took a life time to come. After leaving Alex home, Ava returned to the car. Pauline had moved next to the driver's seat.
"Okay, Ava what is going on?" Pauline asked with a little anger in her voise. She wasn't mad but she was in dark and she didn't like it. Ava was waiting a reaction close to that. And she was ready to face it. "You have every right to be mad at me. But i can't go there alone. And of course i couldn't tell anyone where i was going. You're the only person in the world that i want to go with there." Ava started to explain but Pauline still had no idea of what she was talking about. "Where do you wantg to go with me, Ava?" she asked.
Taking a deep breath Ava answered. "I want to go and visit Heather in prison." Ava never thought that will ever wanted to see her. She hated her for years because of what she did to herself and her father. Pauline as soon as she heard thjose words she rolled her eyes. "You want to see her? Why?" "Because she's my mother and i haven't seen her since the court day." "Woah, you said that she's not your mother anymore and you hated her." "I said those things years ago Pauline. I changed and i want to see her. I wasn't sure if i wanted to but now i am." Ava answered and looked to Pauline next to her. "If that is what you want is fine by me." "I knew you'll come along with that. We should leave now before is too late." Ava answered and drove away from her house.
Moments later the two young women now are waiting to the room. They had already arrived there and waiting for Ava's mother to arrive with some security. "Are you sure you want this?" Pauline asked watching Ava being a little nervous about it. "Yes, i'm sure." "We can leave anytime." "I said i'm fine." Ava answered and start looking around. The door opened and Heather walked in the door woth two men on her left and one her right. She had that suprised look on her face when they told her she had visitors. Ava and Pauline were her first.
After all these years Ava finally saw her mother. She knew deep inside a part of her was missing her. Sure the way things end up wasn't the best but that woman waering the orange uniform was her mother. Taking a deep breath Ava sut on the chair. From the other side the 65 year old Heather sut on the opposite of her daughter. A double glass was seperating them. Ava grabbed the phone she saw her mother doing the same move as she said. "Hey, mommy." Blue eyes met blue. She wasn't that teen girl heather saw for the last time on the court. She was a woman now and a beautiful one.
Without even know how a tear rolled own from Heather's eye. She haven't seen her daughter in 7 years. "Hey, baby girl. How are you doing?" Heather finnally answered after a long pause. "I'm doing great. How are you?" "I survive. In 20 years i'll be free to go, if i'm alive." that was Heather's way to break the ice between her and her only daughter. Ava laughed. "Tell me about you. How are you doing?" she asked with voise full of consert. "Well, i got married to the boy i was dating with..." "Alex?" Heather asked back and Ava's jaw fell to the ground. "Yeah, him. Do you still remember his name?" "Yes, i do." Ava smiled while she added. "And we are having a baby." Ava looked throught the bouble glass to her mother.
She saw how she rolled her eyes when she finished this setence. "Oh, sweetie i'm so happy about you. When is your due date." "In August." "Oh, you can't imagine how happy i am right now. You're going to be a great mother, Ava. I'm so proud of you." she answered shaking her head. "Thank you." "Do you know the sex of the baby?" Heather asked. "Yeah, i was in doctor's office before i came here. It's a boy. You're going to have a grandson."Ava answered.
Heather covered her mouth with her hands. What she was feeling right now, she wasn't able to put it into words. She was going to be a grandmother. Her very first grand son will come to this world in August. She could hold the tears any longer. These were tears of happiness. "I am the luckiest woman on Earth right now. Thank you." Heather said when was able to speak. "How was your father's reaction on this?" Ava held out a laugh before she answered. "Pretty much the same. We told him more than 5 times that it's a boy. He couldn't believe it." "He's happy, Ava. Tori is good for him." "And Adam too." Ava added. "They had a son?" "They adopted him. But he's their son and my little brother." "How old is he?" Heather asked. "He's 12 now. Tall for his age with brown hair and green eyes." "Oh, he'll be a heartbreaker when he'll grow up." Heather answered. "Yeah, he will."
Heather looked over from Ava's shoulder and notised Pauline sitting with a cast on her arm. "What happend to Pauline?" she asked. "Oh, she had an accident on a game. She's fine now." "Is it true that Jesse proposed to her on the last consert of the bad? I was it on the news but i wasn't sure if it true." "Is very true. You should see her face when Jesse walked to the stage, i'm sure she was cursing that moment." Ava answered and looed back to ther friend. "She's a good girl." "Yeah, she is. Look i want to sit here more but i have to go now. I'll come an another time okay?" She really didn't want leave but she has to. "It's okay, i understand. Take care of yourself and this little guy inside you. I love you." were the last words Heather told her before she stood up and left.
Ava hung up the phone and stood up too. She left the small room and walked to Pauline. "I'm done. Ready to go?" Pauline looked up at her and stood up. "Yeah, sure. How it go?" "Great. I kinda missed her somehow. After all that she did i missed her and i love her. She was different now. Maybe jail was good for her." Ava said as they left the building. "Maybe you're right." Pauline answered and smiled. "Come on, let's grab some food. I have a son to feed." both laughed and jumped in the car and drove away from the jail's parking lot.
"Okay, Ava what is going on?" Pauline asked with a little anger in her voise. She wasn't mad but she was in dark and she didn't like it. Ava was waiting a reaction close to that. And she was ready to face it. "You have every right to be mad at me. But i can't go there alone. And of course i couldn't tell anyone where i was going.
