Chapter 24
Kadence
From the moment he showed up at the door, Caleb hasn’t left my side. He held me when I cried, reassured me when I had doubts, and promised we could make this work. Having always relied on my parents, I’m still skeptical, but feel at ease knowing he cares enough to change his whole life for our child.
For the next week we spend every waking second together. I don’t know how he did it, but he found someone to cover his kayak tours, so that he could take me all over the place.
We met all of his family. That was a riot. They’re all so different, yet so much alike at the same time. I envy the fact that he has brothers and a sister, where I’m an only child.
It took us two nights before we had sex again. Once it started, there was no stopping us. He was right about having chemistry. Intimacy with Caleb feels natural, and it’s not just because we created a life together.
Late at night he holds me close and tells me all about his life. I feels good to get to know him. The more I discover, the harder the feelings are to deny. He’s literally like my knight in shining armor. He’s nothing fancy on the surface, but inside he’s everything I could need to get through this.
Deciding to go home with me to meet my parents feels like it’s going to be a catastrophe, though he’s hell-bent on making it happen. At least now I have options. I’ve made the decision to defer my enrollment to law school. I made the call myself without clearing it with my parents. They’ll be furious once again.
The plan is to let them know what I’ll be doing. Caleb is willing to find work in New York if we can work things out, if not, I plan on coming back to the island until we can have the baby and decide where we want to raise them.
I’m not as scared as I was in the beginning. In the back of my mind I already know what they’re going to say. At first they’ll send me away. They pretend they’ve cut ties for the purpose of drawing me home.
I’m taking a big leap of faith with Caleb, one they will probably never understand. It’s my choice. If it fails, I have options for returning to school. It doesn’t hurt to try. They can hate me for making what they feel is a bad decision, but in my heart I feel like I’m doing right by Caleb. The more we’re together, the more I know I’d be a fool to let him go. Maybe he’s changed. Maybe I’m the reason. For what it’s worth, I hope it’s true. I can’t remember ever feeling this appreciated before, and he’s the reason.
We never make it to New York. The day I check out of the rental property, Buck Wallace comes to us with an affordable alternative with enough space for a growing baby. It’s a waterfront cottage outside of town. The place needs work, but it has three bedrooms and two baths. A friend of his got sick and had to go into a nursing home. Buck told him he’d take the property off his hands for a fair price. He wants it for an investment, but offered it to his son instead.
I know Buck doesn’t want us to leave, and if I’m honest with myself I know this is where I want to be. I’ve felt at home since the first moment I came to the island. My parents will come around, and when they do we’ll be here. I think the most important thing for me is knowing everything will be all right. I’m having a child, not going to Mars. I’ll still go to Law School. I’ll still be a lawyer, but I’m just not sure I want to do it right now. I think I worked so hard that I resent missing out.
It took one week with Caleb to realize there was a void inside of me, and one week for that void to be filled with hope and love and even a little faith.
