and sling my arm around her neck, pulling her closer to my side.
    When she smiles it makes everything worthwhile and today her smile stretches right across her jaw.
    She holds her left hand up and shows off her ring. Oak is the first one over to congratulate us and scoops Lana up in his arms.
    “That’s some good fuckin’ news,” he smiles.
    “It’s about time,” Sparky adds, slapping me on the back and swinging Lana round in his arms as soon as Oak has put her down.
    To think I used to be jealous of Sparky’s relationship with Lana. They have such an easy going way between them and back when I couldn’t go near her it drove me crazy. Now I know she is mine, his love for her is what gives me peace of mind if I’m ever not around and any shit goes down.
    Our engagement announcement has become an excuse for a celebration and everyone quickly finds a drink.
    Alannah makes the rounds showing her ring off and I sit back at the bar watching my family. Whoever wants to take us on, I wish them luck.
     

Chapter Five

    My decision this morning to stick around was easy. Both Zachery and I could do with a break from the driving and it would give me a chance to figure out where we are off to next.
    I feel satisfied Alannah was only a friend to Billy, not that I have any rights to him to be jealous about her. When Billy left I knew I probably would never see him again and to be honest. I hadn’t given him a second thought until I saw the positive pregnancy test result.
    I still think they’re hiding something from me. I don’t have a clue what that could be and I haven’t given much thought as to how I am going to find out either. I do know I am going to leave it for tonight. Zachery’s demanding whines can only mean it is dinner time.
    “Mommy’s hungry too baby,” I agree, picking him up into my arms.
    His deep brown eyes are nothing like my green ones, they are definitely inherited from his father. Unlike his father, Zachery’s eyes are deep pools of purity and innocence. However, when he gets his mischievous streak on, the brown pools alight. That’s how I remember Billy’s gaze.
    “Shall we go and get something to eat?”
    Of course I get no answer. He doesn’t speak much yet, he doesn’t show any signs of trying either. The most I hear from him is when he’s hungry or tired.
    Putting him back on the floor with his toy bricks, I make sure I have my purse and car keys before heading out to the diner.
    I wasn’t able to bring all his toys with us, only his favourites. The rest are back in Miami in storage.
    As for the motel we are staying in, it’s the nicest and cleanest one we have stopped in so far.
    I have never not known where my life is going before. Even as a child I always had goals and I always achieved them. One time I wanted a bigger bicycle but my dad said I was too small to ride it. I spent a very wobbly week proving him wrong. When I began high school I wanted to make the cheerleading team. After a lot of sore muscles and bruises from failed flips, I eventually got on the team and spent high school on the popular side with the jock boyfriend and the blonde smile-at your-face and then stab-you-in-the-back friends.
    Even when my dad was sick, I always knew I had to make sure his business didn’t suffer just because he was. Between my mom and me, we kept everything afloat. When Zachery was born, we had to work a lot harder to cope but we managed. We made a pretty good team. But, when my dad died, we we’re both lost. I couldn’t face opening the shop while he wasn’t coming back and my mom couldn’t face living in the house they shared for over thirty years.
    Billy’s death whacked my plan completely into the air. My plan is now non-existent but I’m comfortable with that.
    There is a loud knock at the door. I assume it is the motel manager again, asking if we are okay. But, when I sneak a peek out of the window all I see is leather and jeans.
    He knocks again and I jump back
