After having to grab Ariana out of the crib, Pete heard the door bell ring and ran downstairs. He knew exactly who it was going to be.
"Hey guys." He smilde as he opened the door revealing Patrick, Lisa, Joe, Daniella, Andy and his girlfriend Kacy.
"Oh my gosh." Patrick gushed as he looked down at Ariana who had her head resting on Pete's shoulder. "She looks just like Cadence...Where is she?" Patrick looked at Pete.
"She was just getting sick..upstairs bathroom." He said. He had decided he would call Patrick and tell him every little detail about what he had found out. What David had done to Cadence, how she ended up in his house and everything that followed.
Patrick nodded and pushed past everyone. It had been a really long time since he had seen his best friend. It had also been a really long time since she was his best friend.
"How she doing?" Joe asked as he made himself comfortable on the couch next to his very pregnant wife.
"Ok I guess." Pete was at a loss for words. These last few days there had been so many actions, accusations and fights that he was completely at an utter loss. "She's angry and then upset and worried." He was almost whispering as he still had Ariana in his arms. "Hey sweetie, wanna say hi to mine and mommy's friends?" He asked her. He loved how she had Cadence's shyness.
"No." She shook her head into his chest.
"Do you want to go play with Bronx's toys?" He asked and she nodded. "Ok come on." He said as he brought her into the next room to let her play. Switching on the monitor, he left the room. "Call me if you need me ok baby?"
Getting back to the living room he collapsed into the couch. Patrick was still upstairs with Cadence. There was no yelling so that was a good sign, especially with the way Cadence was feeling. Looking around, he noticed Lisa sitting on the edge of the couch. He couldn't imagine how she felt. "Lisa, he-" Pete started to explain.
"I know all about it, Pete." She smiled sweetly. "You don't have to explain anything."
Pete nodded and smiled back. Thank god was all that was running through his mind.
Getting upstairs, Patrick turned the corner to where the bathroom was. Pushing the door open, he frowned as he saw her sitting there curled up into a ball. It had been so many years but it was all too familiar. "Hey, bunny.." He whispered.
Cadence looked up, she knew it wasn't Pete. "Hi, firefly." She whispered back.
Patrick stepped over her and more into the bathroom and he shimmied his way down the wall and sat down next to her. Cadence immediately collapsing into his waiting on arms. "Everythings such a mess." She cried.
"I know, baby, I know." He almost cooed. No matter how many years it had been he seemed to immediately know how to comfort her.
"God, I've missed you." She whispered as she held onto him.
"I missed you too, bunny." He nodded.
"My whole life...nothing is the same. I built this life. It was supposed to be normal."
"Cadence, according to Pete nothing about that life was normal and well for him to say that, it had to be bad." He gave her a hint of a smile.
"And now what? I'm alone...again."
"You are far from alone. God, Cadence, Pete is just as in love with you as he was all those years ago. You have a beautiful daughter who seems to be quite fond of Pete. Andy and Joe are downstairs. And you have me!" He smiled. "I saved the best for last." He nodded. "Plus, there are three girls downstairs who can't wait to meet you because well you are the original girl in all of our lives!" He kissed her head. "We can't keep making the same mistakes over and over and expect different results. Now its time for you to have what you were supposed to."
"What's that, firefly?" She asked.
"Pete." He answered.
Cadence looked down at her hands. Is this really where her life had brought her? Back into the arms of Pete? "I can't lose another husband. If he decides-"
"He's not that person anymore, Cad. He's changed so much. It's not like that night is going to happen again. You're safe now." He held her face in his hands.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive. And, I'm not saying jump from your marriage right into bed with Pete. I'm just saying don't run away from us."
"I won't." She nodded.
"Good." He smiled as he held onto her a little longer. "Do you want to go introduce me to your mini me?" Patrick asked.
Cadence nodded and they both got up and walked down stairs. She had never been so happy to see Patick in her life. He was finally there for her again.
