ONE More Time to make it right Chapter 51
Carson was filled with hope and anxiety when he woke up.It had been a week since he put the ad in the local paper, and he has heard nothing. But today felt different somehow. He couldn't explain it, but he had a feeling that something positive was going to happen.He got dressed quickly, choosing a blue shirt that Alice had once said brought out his eyes. As he looked in the mirror, Carson barely recognized himself. He looked tired, with dark circles under his eyes and stubble on his chin. But there was a fire in his eyes that hadn't been there before."Today's the day," he told his reflection. "I can feel it."Carson headed down to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.while he was sipping a cup of coffee, he couldn't help but overhear a conversation over the bar stand by the waitresses."Did you hear about the new Health and Wellness Coordinator?" one of the waitresses was saying. "I heard she's really good."Carson got interested in their conversation. He didn't know why, but somethi

Alice felt like she'd been hit by a truck when she woke up the morning after her surprise meeting with Carson. She cried herself to sleep, so her eyes were puffy and her head hurt. It had been a rough night for her because she kept thinking about what they had said.She heard Charlie talking in his crib as she struggled to get out of bed. Alice couldn't help but smile as she picked up her son, even though she was having a hard time emotionally.She cooed, "Good morning, sweetheart," taking a deep breath of his sweet baby smell. "Did you sleep well?"Charlie smiled at her and showed her his two very small teeth. It was impossible for Alice not to see Carson in every part of Charlie's face as she changed his diaper and dressed him. With those blue eyes and that little dimple on his chin, he looked just like the guy who had turned her life upside down."What are we going to do, Charlie?" Alice spoke in a low voice, mostly to herself. "Your dad is back." But can we believe him?"Of course

Carson thought the days before Saturday were the longest of his life. Every morning when he woke up, he felt a mix of fear and joy in his stomach. He was so excited about finally meeting Charlie and seeing Alice again that he could hardly hold it in. It was always in the back of his mind that he might mess everything up and lose them both for good.Carson stayed in his hotel room most of the time because he didn't want to bother Alice at work by running into her. He got room service and paced the floor, practicing what he was going to say to his son when he finally saw him."Hi, Charlie. He practiced saying "I'm your dad." He felt silly talking to himself, but he couldn't stop. "I know I haven't been around, but I'm here now, and I love you very much."Carson knew he had to do something special for Charlie on Thursday morning. It was important to him to bring a gift to show that he cared. What are you going to get your son who you've never met?He left the hotel being careful not to g

Carson woke up the next day after the meeting in the park and felt like he could fly. Charlie had met him. He had his son in his arms. Carson felt a joy he had never felt before when he thought of Charlie's little hands touching his face and his bright blue eyes looking up at him.But as he got ready for the day, he began to have doubts. Did he say the right things? Have you done enough? Would Alice let him live with them?Carson picked up the phone and wasn't sure if he should text Alice. He didn't want to be too pushy, but he also didn't want her to think he wasn't interested. He finally typed a message:"Thanks again for yesterday." Charlie is great. I hope to see you soon."Before he could change his mind, he hit "send."Alice thought about the park meeting while she was across town. Carson had brought Charlie a new book, which she saw him play with. She felt mixed feelings when she saw it. It was nice that Carson had thought to bring a gift, on the one hand. But it was a stark re

Despite the circumstances, this constant communication was bringing them closer together.Carson woke up early on Tuesday morning, his mind racing with thoughts of Alice and Charlie. He'd barely slept, plagued by nightmares of shadowy figures threatening his newfound family. As he got dressed, he decided he couldn't just sit around waiting for something to happen. He needed to take action.He headed down to the hotel lobby, determined to speak with the staff about the mysterious package. Maybe someone had seen who delivered it.As he approached the front desk, he was surprised to see Tom Jenkins there, talking in hushed tones with the receptionist. When Tom saw Carson, he quickly ended his conversation and turned with a forced smile."Ah, Mr. MacPherson! How are you enjoying your stay with us?"Carson fo

Alice felt like she hadn't slept at all when she woke up the morning after Margaret's surprise visit. She had been having scary dreams with dark images and sounds. She had a strong sense that someone was watching her as she got Charlie ready for daycare.Little Charlie heard her say, "It's okay, baby," as she put him in his car seat. "Mommy's just being silly."But Alice couldn't help but look in her rearview mirror more often than normal on her way to daycare. Was that the same black car that had been following her since she left the house?While Charlie was at daycare, Alice gave him a tighter hug than normal before giving him to Miss Laura."Is everything okay, Alice?" When Miss Laura saw that Alice looked worried, she asked.A smile was forced on Alice. "Everything is okay. Just... please call me first if someone else comes to pick up Charlie, even if they say they know me. "All right?"Miss Laura nodded and looked worried but sure she got it. "Of course, Alice.

Alice's heart was beating fast as she stumbled with her car keys. Carson scanned the parking lot as he stood next to her. His face was red with worry.His voice was low and tense as he said, "We need to hurry."Carson jumped into Alice's car and joined them. Alice tried to cool down by taking a deep breath as she started the engine.She asked with a shaking voice, "What if something has happened to Charlie?"Carson put his hand on her arm to comfort her. "Question things before they happen. We'll check it out when we get there.Alice's thoughts were all over the place as they drove through Manchester. What had gone wrong that made things so bad?

"You?"That was all Carson could do. "Not at all. Thought about everything and tried to decide what to do next.At that very moment, Charlie woke up and scrunched up his little face.
