The Good Wife Chapter 32
Kerrick kept his promise, I was able to see my father a few times in the following weeks and he even bought me another cellphone so we could keep in touch. I apologized to Samantha and Victoria for cutting them off and becoming distant but they were more than happy to see me again.I was currently with them, waiting for the Independence Day fireworks and watching the celebrations unfold back home. The streets were streaming with life and I was bubbling with excitement but I wished Kerrick had come with me."Daniel, aren't the celebrations exciting!? This year must be the best I've seen in a while!" I looked over at Daniel and smiled but his eyes were fixated on the night sky."Yeah.""I'm glad I came to celebrate Independence with you guys."He smiled and rubbed the back of his head, bringing nostalgia to my heart."I wonder where Sam and Tori are. They said they were going to buy snacks and be back in a moment but it's been half an hour."We we're standing by a building, out of the w

I closed the door behind me when I arrived home, a small smile lingering on my face from last night. When I walked into the living room Kerrick was there so I ran to him."Kerrick! Last night was amazing, I'm sorry you didn't come and-""Why didn't you come home?" His expression was firm and his lips were pulled into a frown."What?" I questioned, confused. "When everything was over it was too late for me to travel by myself so I stayed with my father.""If that's the case you should've called me, I would've come for you. Do you know how many times I called you and you didn't even answer?""My phone died," I said walking over to the couch and putting my handbag down. "I didn't even remember to charge it."I turned towards the stairs but before I could take a step Kerrick grabbed my arm and pulled me back."I'm not done talking to you." I stared at him, the level of anger in his voice unnecessary for the situation."You're overreacting."I peeled his hand away from my arm and went up t

"Delancy are you alright? Is something wrong?" Kerrick placed a hand over mine and looked me over, his face showing concern. I looked up at him, my thoughts breaking as our eyes met and a small smile traced my lips."I'm fine.""Oh, that's good. I'm going to the office to pick up some work, I've already canceled my plans for the rest of today so that'll give us enough time to make it to the counselor.""Alright, you can go, I'll wait for you here." I stared at my hands, anxiety, and dread burning in my stomach."Okay then I won't be long, but remember to call me if you feel sick again."I nodded to him and he picked up his things from the desk. I followed him up to the door, and he smiled at me before walking out, getting in his car, and leaving.It took me two moments before I moved but when I did I went up the stairs, quickly packing my things and emptying my clothes from the closet into my chest. When I finally had all my things together, I took them downstairs with me and out the

"After learning about the problems Delancy was having with her husband, she decided to stay with me for a while to sort things out between them. I was so angry at first but my heart slowly grew towards Kerrick when Delancy spoke to me about his past. Trust was the hardest thing to regain in their relationship, Delancy told me, and Kerrick was very difficult with opening up to anyone. They started going to counselling sessions and slowly improvements started showing between them both. She eventually moved back with him because he never stopped coming to see her and showering her with flowers and gifts and I could see it that she missed him a lot. Kerrick, as cold as he seemed, had a warm, good heart and he chose to give up everything for Delancy. He left his father's business which infuriated Charles but Kerrick surprisingly didn't seem to care. He started his own business which was slowly growing because of his knowledge and experience and Delancy's help even though she was pregnant.

Silver puddles glistened on the street outside from the window where I sat, school children walked down the street with their raincoats still draped on as the road and pavement ahead shone in silver. Kaleb cooed, leaning over to touch my face and I laughed before brushing back his hair and shifting in my seat by the window. He leaned over again and reached up to touch me but I held him steady and kept staring out the window while he sat back in my lap. "Soon you'll be going to school like those children outside," I told him and smiled. "I'll be watching you come home." Kerrick and I bought a beautiful house together in a very nice neighborhood, though a little bigger than our last one because we had to think of our growing boy. It had cream-colored walls and a comfy interior, each room exuding warmth. We had only been living here for the past few months but I'd already developed a great love for this place. "School?" Kerrick said coming from another room. "He has plenty more growin

I ran the tips of my fingers over the soft delicate petals of the roses I carried as I followed my father's footsteps. Slowly he stopped and kneeled on the ground as we made it to our destination, my mother's grave."She was so pretty, your mother." He spoke without meeting my eyes, taking the flowers I was carrying and the ones he also had, he placed them in matching ceramic vases opposite each other by her gravestone. "She was so young and I don't think I'll ever stop loving and missing her.""I'm sorry," I looked at my father sadly but with a tinge of happiness that we were finally able to come here together after so long. "I guess I'll never truly understand the pain you went through when you lost her but that just goes to show how much she meant to you and me."My father tucked the last rose firmly in the vase next to him and touched her gravestone again, closing his eyes for a moment when he did so. "You know, I still feel her with me, regardless of the time that's passed, I ca

Sunlight filtered through the curtains by the window as a cool gust of wind blew in and the sky was still overcast from recent rain. The sound of children laughing and running by putting a smile on my face as I waited patiently. I looked over at Kerrick who was quietly working at the table with a mug near his face, wafts of steam warming his lips but not taking the concentration from his eyes as he reviewed his papers. I turned back to the window which looked up the street that all the children were coming down and searched until finally, I saw Kaleb coming my way, his smile warming my heart as he ran along the street. He was walking between two friends, but he was unmistakable from his dark hair protruding from under his yellow raincoat, his obsidian eyes, and his quick stride. I watched him wave goodbye to them and cross the street before running up to the house and I left the window to greet him at the door. "Mom!" He said surprised to see me already waiting for him. I gave him a b

"Where are you going so early?" I asked my son while clearing the table after breakfast. Kaleb had changed out of his pajamas into a blue jumper paired with a white T-shirt and was currently tying his shoelaces. "I'm going to meet my friends, remember I told you." He said jumping to his feet. "I do but it's still early," I said looking over at the wall clock and sighing. "Okay but remember to come home for lunch," I followed him to the door and watched as he hopped on his bicycle before riding off. "Bye, mom!" He called back to me as he went up the road. "Keep out of the road and watch out for cars!" I responded as he rode away and he paused momentarily to nod before continuing on his way. I turned to go back into the house so I could help Kerrick get ready but not before glancing up the street at my son's retreating figure. Once inside I got Kerrick's things together and put them on the table just as I heard him coming down the stairs. "Where's Kaleb?" Kerrick asked while fixing

"It's ready!" Charlotte, Eric's wife cat Eric's househimed as she pulled a cake tin out of her oven and beamed at me. Kerrick, Kaleb and I were spending the evening at Eric's house with after he invited us. Earlier I decided to give his wife a hand in the kitchen while Kerrick and Eric were sitting out front talking and the boys were playing in the living room."My Eric and Nathan love chocolate," She laughed while putting the freshly baked cake on a cooling rack.Charlotte was petite and had pale blonde hair unlike her dark haired well built husband and son, but she had a radiant smile and bubbly personality that made her very likeable. "How about Kerrick and Kaleb? What flavor cake do they like?" She asked while looking over at our boys playing."Um well," I said smiling at her eager curiosity. "Kerrick doesn't eat cake, he's Diabetic and Kaleb isn't very fond of sweets.""Oh!," Charlotte exclaimed before blushing with embarrassment. "I'm sorry, I didn't know." "It's okay," I laug

"You're home early," I commented as Kerrick put his car keys in the top drawer of the table in the living room. "Oh, and you're wearing your glasses.""I couldn't read the prompt during my meeting." He sighed in resignation. "I guess I'll have to get used to them.""So how did it go, did they like your ideas?" I inquired as he sat down on the couch."Yea, they did." He murmured as I sat beside him and put his head in my lap."That's good. What are your plans moving forward?" I said running my fingers through his hair.A soft smile traced across his lips as he tilted his head up to look at me. "I'm glad you're taking an interest in what's happening."I smiled back at him and nodded."E&E's sell canned goods as you know so with the new canning machine we have at the factory we can easily output at least ten thousand cans a week." He smiled."Wow, that's great!" I remarked."We also found a manufacturer who can deliver all the raw materials we need at reduced cost and high quality so our

As I put the finishing touches on tonight's meal, I couldn't help but watch in awe as steam slowly billowed out of the pot on the stove. The tantalizing aroma wafted through the air, making my mouth water in anticipation of the delicious meal ahead. I was in the middle of turning off the stove when I heard Kerrick's car pull into our driveway so I quickly headed to the door to greet him. As soon as he walked in, I noticed a glimmer in his eyes that seemed to suggest that he was filled with excitement. "You look happy, what happened at work?" I asked curiously. Instead of replying he picked me up bridal style and spun me around and I clung to him and burst out laughing at his unusual behavior until he put me down. "I did it, Delancy," He said hugging me. "I got a client!" "What!?" I mumbled out shocked but as I locked eyes with him he nodded with confirmation. I hugged him in elation and began jumping around while holding him. "This is amazing news! I'm so proud of you!" "It's, tru

"Do you have everything packed?" I asked Kaleb as he was getting ready to go off to school."Yes Mom," He answered as he threw his backpack on and headed towards the door."Don't forget this," I said handing him his lunchbox as he thanked me. Just then Kerrick came down the stairs and called him."Kaleb," He said going up to him and hugging him. "I love you.""Um, thanks Dad," Kaleb responded bewildered. He seemed caught off guard by his unusual actions but said nothing as he bid us goodbye before heading off to school."Is everything okay?" I asked."Yes, It's just that my dad never told me he loved me so I wanted to make sure I never forget to tell Kaleb." He said looking out the window at our son heading up the road."Wait are you serious?" I asked in disbelief.He paused and turned to me silently. "You were the first person to ever tell me that you loved me."My heart nearly broke when Kerrick confessed this and I instinctively reached for him."It's okay. I don't care about that

A few days had passed after meeting Charles and although Kerrick gave him no answer he was still pushing the idea of a merger. As of right now, I decided to visit my dad while Kerrick was at work and Kaleb was at school so I could get my mind off the situation. As I approached my dad's store and my old home, pleasant memories flooded my mind and a smile broke out on my face when I saw my best friends standing right outside the doors. When they noticed me they ran and hugged me and I burst out laughing. Samantha and Victoria always knew how to lighten my mood and I was so lucky to have them as my friends. "You caught us on our way out!" Victoria said between giggles."Oh, I should've come sooner." I apologized. "It's fine, we'll call later," Samantha added as she hurried up to her car."Where are you guys going ?" I inquired as I watched them."I have to pick up my daughter from daycare," Samantha said unlocking her door. "And I'm meeting up with my boyfriend!" Victoria added with

Kerrick was carrying Kaleb on his shoulders when we came home from the football match. Kaleb was still riled up from his win even hours after and couldn't stop talking about it. Kerrick and I were very proud of him and we laughed as we watched our son could bask in his victory."Kaleb, weren't you nervous when you were about to score?" I asked as I helped him down from Kerrick's shoulders."No, I knew I could make it," He smiled and ran around the living room, still full of energy.I smiled as I watched him beam with happiness but I couldn't take my mind off Kerrick's words."My business deal fell through"Kerrick didn't say anything else about it the entire evening but I knew he must've been crushed after all the efforts he put in. At dinner, he listened to Kaleb's recount of the earlier segments of the match that he'd missed and apologized for not being there but all was forgiven as happiness was the only thing on our son's face."Kaleb, go get some sleep, you must be tired," I said
