The Strangest Love Of All - The Sequel - Part Thirteen

After her son told her about the special guest, and what he thought was an amazing story, it all started to come together for Elyse. The officer at the door. Bobby’s telling of a man who had come from a different earth. Fourteen years ago. Bobby!

But how? How could he have found a way here? She had been told by her parents when she first returned home that crossing parallels to different places was impossible, and yet they believed her, especially when Bobby Junior was born. They believed her because lies were something people never told on Alpha-Earth, no matter how impossible a story might be.

And now? He was here!

She tried calling the television station, but all the operators were currently busy, and she didn’t know which police center to call, since she missed the phone numbers that flashed across the tele-prompter.

“Bobby, I have to tell you something.”

“What, mom?”

“Remember me telling you how I met your father and that I told you we would never see him.”

“Yeah.”

“That same man you told me about that you saw on International Speaks—I think that might be your father.”

“Really! That would be … I guess, great, wouldn’t it, mom.”

“Yes, Bobby, it would be great. Now look, first thing in the morning, you and I are going to International Speaks and talk with someone about this show. I only wish I had seen the numbers displayed to call the exact police center, or I would have called them already.

“Bobby, after all this time, we’ll finally have what I have always wanted for us—to be a full and complete family!”

“Mom, do you think he will like me?”

“Oh, Bobby, I’m sure he will like you and I bet he will love you just as much as I do.”

“I hope so. Gee, I’m going to have a dad.”
