Oh damn, why oh why do I have the gut feeling that Ray is going to go low and play the custody card with Anthony? :blink:

The next morning the reality settled for us both that I had finally left Ray and that James and I were really going to live together again. He had taken Anthony and I to Rodeo Drive for breakfast, and we enjoyed the scorching morning sunshine.

‘Do you want to come to the studio with me today?’ he offered. He didn’t want to be apart from me so soon after what had happened.

‘I’d be nice to see everyone again’ I smiled. We window shopped for a while until Anthony grew restless.’ It’s time for his afternoon nap soon’ I said. James agreed.
Driving back to the hotel his phone rang twice—the second time I answered it when I saw the caller ID: it was Castor.

‘Hi Castor—it’s Hannah, how are you?’ I asked warmly. But Castor did not seem like himself.

‘I’m worried—can I talk to Dad?’ he asked. James pulled over and I passed him the phone. He listened to Castor’s voice in concern.

‘Well, do you want to talk about it? You sure you’re okay?’ he checked. James turned his worried face to mine. He checked his watch.

‘I can make it to USC and back before the studio at 3pm’ James offered. ‘Whatever it is, it sounds important, I think I should come and see you’ his father offered. ‘Uh huh, alright—I’ll be there soon’ and he ended the call.

‘What was that about?’ I asked. James pulled back out intro traffic turning south and we made our way to the freeway.

‘I don’t know—Castor didn’t seem right, will Anthony be okay to sleep in the car on the way there?’ James checked his small face in the rear view mirror and turned up the air con. It was 110 degrees outside. ‘You don’t mind the drive?’ he checked. I just hoped Castor was alright.

An hour later, we drove onto campus at USC. James called his son again as we parked outside his college dorm.

‘I’ll try not to be too long’ he promised with a gentle kiss.

James couldn’t hide his concern, he’d not given me any indication of Castor’s upset over the phone. James knocked on the door of his son’s dorm room, it was the first time he had been in there. His room was large and faced the garden outside. He had a single bed that was messy and unmade, a large desk that James was pleased to see had a small pile of books next to his laptop. James noticed there were several large opened envelopes containing sheets of scribbled paper with Marcella’s handwriting addressed to Castor. A large plasma tv mounted on the wall and numerous posters of football stars that made wallpaper of his room. Castor’s trophys and medals from the current season were displayed on top of his shelf. A photograph of Lilly was at his bedside, and a series of pictures of his family were stuck to the wall next to his bed. His dirty washing lay in a smelly pile on the floor as though his mother would be in any moment to collect them. James took a seat awkwardly on his son’s desk chair. Castor stood nervously with his hands in his pockets unsure whether to sit or pace the room in frantic circles.

‘Son—what’s wrong?’ James asked. He knew that whatever it was it was bad, Castor had never called him to his side like this before. Castor rubbed his face worriedly in his hands.

‘Oh Dad…I don’t know where to start’ he mused anxiously.

‘Sit down, take a deep breath’ James tried. Castor did as he was told, sitting on the end of his bed and trying hard to calm himself.

‘Lilly called this morning…’ he began. ‘Dad, she’s pregnant!’ Castor’s face was pale and terrified of his father’s reaction, but James took it as well as he could. He held his thoughts for a moment before speaking.

‘Okay’ James began in a controlled fashion, although he wanted to yell at his son for his ignorance and his silly mistake. ‘So how do you feel about it?’ he asked. ‘The only thing that matters is what you and Lilly think’ James reminded his son. ‘Your mother and I will have our own opinions, but this is your life…what do you want?’ Castor thought long and hard at his father’s response.

‘I think I love her, Dad’ he admitted after a long while. ‘But I don’t know if she’s the one, she’s the only girlfriend I’ve ever had!’ he said.

‘What about Mom’s church back home!’ Castor bawled. ‘Do I have to marry Lilly if she’s pregnant?’ James shook his head. He disagreed at least.

‘Your mother was pregnant when we got married’ he reminded his son. Castor nodded, he knew.

‘Dad—should I date other girls before I marry her? How do I know she’s the one?’ he asked. James’ eyes widened as his son’s confusion.

‘No, you stick with her! Never mind how many other girls are out there’ James warned. Although ,he felt sorry for his son knowing that he might not enjoy the freedom of being a college student as he might’ve otherwise.

‘How does she feel about it?’ James asked.

‘She really scared, Dad!’ Castor admitted. ‘She’s gonna come down again this weekend are we’re gonna talk it through’ Castor explained.

‘I think that’s a very good idea’ James replied supportively. They were both silent for a few long minutes while the news sank in for both of them.

‘I just bought a house in Hollywood’ James announced, changing the topic. Castor nodded enthusiastically. He decided to leave out the details, now was not the time to overload Castor with news about Hannah and the baby they were expecting themselves.

‘Take your time and think things through carefully, Castor. There’s no rush, alright?’ James advised wisely. ‘Tell your mom when you’re ready, just make sure you’re ready when you tell her because I have no idea how she will take it’ James said honestly.

‘We only just started talking again!’ Castor exclaimed. ‘She’ll kill me!’ he said with wide terrified eyes.

‘Yep, probably’ James grinned lightening the mood. He hugged his son tightly patting him on the back. Even though it were an enormous surprise, he was proud of him.

‘Jesus—you’ve made me a grandfather at 54!’ James laughed. ‘Aye aye eye!’ he made his old dismissive sigh.

‘Hannah and Anthony are waiting in the car in the heat, I should go’ James explained. Castor seemed much better now for his talk with his Dad.

‘I’ll come and say hi’ Castor offered kindly. He and James walked to the car and I wound down the electric window on the passenger side to speak to him.

‘Hello Hannah!’ Castor smiled, he pecked my cheek with a kind welcome kiss.

‘Nice to see you, Castor!’ I smiled. Castor waved cutely at Anthony in the back seat. His small face grinned back. James hugged his son tightly in farewell.

‘See you Saturday’ James finished. ‘Don’t forget what we talked about—it only matters what the two of you think’ James reminded his son. I wondered what he meant.

‘Put all your energy into the game, Castor’ James added as he opened the driver’s side door. His son nodded, it was good advice.

As we drove away my face asked James plainly for news.

‘So what was that about?’ I asked. James exhaled a loud sigh and his face twisted painfully.

‘Lilly’s pregnant’ James announced.

‘Oh my God!’ I sighed.
