[ Chapter 33 ]

Amelia did not tell Chad about the baby, he knew there was something bothering her, and he could hear it in her voice. Each time he talked to her, he felt there was something she was leaving out. He wondered if she had a form of PTSD after the girl’s traumatic event. Amelia sounded to him as though she was very tense, and a little depressed. He was away so long this time and they only had the phone and email with which to communicate. He asked her several times if there was anything the matter and her response was always the same. Nothing really. Chad was worried, were her feelings for him changing? Did she find someone new and didn’t know how to tell him? He felt guilty about not seeing her as often as he wanted, but there wasn’t much he could do about that for a while. I wonder if I should ask her outright and save all this agony, I’m putting myself through. Just as he mustered up the courage to call her and ask her if he was now a problem for her, he would be called on a mission or training session and have to concentrate on the job.

Chad was very worried. He had seen Amelia only twice, in the months since the stalking incident and she seemed to be happy to see him. Her kisses were certainly the same and sometimes ever more exciting than he remembered. As soon as this mission is over, I’m going to ask for leave and go to her he decided.

The baby was several months old when Chad called to surprise Amelia with a visit, he told her he would see her in 30 minutes.

“Honey, what a great surprise, I can’t wait to see you.”

“Chad was relieved when she gave him such a positive response, but there was still something in her voice his gut told him all was not right.

Shelly was coming to get the baby for the weekend she had arranged with one of her married friends to care for Gina. They were going to try and find a permanent babysitter or family to take the baby, but Betty’s requests were hard to meet. Amelia was helping with the baby all she could because she loved Betty and felt so guilty too.

Chad got to the apartment before Shelly arrived to pick up the baby.

Amelia opened the door and greeted him with a kiss and hug. They told one another how good it was to see each other and sat on the sofa.

“Before you say another word,” said Chad, “what’s the matter honey, are you unhappy about something? Is it something I did, or do you have someone else or what, or anything, it’s been driving me crazy, I can hear it in your voice.”

“Your right there is something Honey, it has nothing to do with us, it well, I will tell you the whole story and then you will see the problem and understand.
