Picket Fences! Part 37.1


Over at Claudia's house . . .


Today is her son Noah's birthday.


She called Rhys . . .
"Today is our son's birthday. I didn't know if you remembered or not", she said.


"Sure I remembered, but I didn't know if you wanted me to come over", said Rhys.

"You and I might not always agree on everything, but I'd like for you to be here for Noah", she said.

"Sure, I'll be there in a few minutes", he said.

"Good, I'll get him ready", she said.


Rhys arrived a few minutes later.


"Noah will be gald to see you", said Claudia.

"Does that mean you won't?", said Rhys.

"What do you think?"", said Claudia.


When he walked into the house he picked up Noah and gave him a hug.
"Happy birthday son!", he said.


"You can take him to his birthday cake", said Claudia.

"You ready to grow up little buddy?", said Rhys.

"Sure", said Noah.


Rhys took Noah over to his cake and Claudia blew the birthday horn to celebrate.


He helped the toddler blow out the candles.


Rhys put Noah down on the floor, he did the "toddler dance"and grew up into a cute child. He looks a lot like his two half-brothers Ryan and Kevin.




Noah grabbed a big slice of his birthday cake, then took his plate to the kitchen when he finished eating. .


Shannan came home from her job as a Management Firm Representative in the Film Industry and grabbed a slice.


While Rhys and Noah were playing with the toy ship . . .


"Shannan received a telephone call from Jonathan.


"Hey sweetheart. I'm off work tonight. Can you come over?", he asked.

"Yes, I'd love to see you. I'll be right there", she said.


"I'm going to Jonathan's house. I'll probably be late, so don't wait up", she told Claudia.

"It won't be much longer before you can move in", said Claudia.

"Yes, this time next Saturday, I'll be Mrs. Jonathan Henry", said Shannan.


Then she changed into her everyday clothes and left to go to Jonathan's.


Claudia went into Noah's bedroom . . .
"Our son went to bed without being told", she said.
"He's a good little boy. You're doing a good job of raising him", said Rhys,."I guess I'll be going on home, unless you want me to stay."


"I wouldn't mind some company tonight", she said.

"In that case, let's get comfortable on your bed", said Rhys.


"Now that Noah is a child, do you think he could come stay at my place some weekends? I'd like for him and Ryan to become friends", said Rhys.

"I think that might be a good idea. Afterall, they're all each other has", she said.


"Claudia, there's something I need to tell you", said Rhys.


"You see, when I first moved to Buford Falls, I met someone and . . . well, to make a long story short, we had a baby", he said.

"You mean Ryan's mama?", asked Claudia.

"No, I mean Joy Anderson. Kevin's my son, not Larry's", he said.

"I kinda suspected, does Larry know?", she asked..


"Joy told him when Kevin was a child. Me and Larry talked about it and came to an understanding. He let Kevin come to my place every other Saturday as long as I promised not to tell him I'm his father", said Rhys.

"Joy's a lucky woman to have such an understanding husband", said Claudia.

"Yeah, well anyway, if you let Noah come to my place on the Saturdays Kevin is there, then all three of my boys will get know each other better", he said.


Then Rhys gave her a romantic kiss . . .



And they madeout.


"Rhys, you want to do woo hoo?", she asked.


"What do you think?", he said.

Later . . .


"I love you Rhys", said Claudia.


"I know, but you deserve better", he said.

"There isn't any better", she said.


Rhys stayed until Claudia went to sleep.


Then when he started to leave . . .


Noah came into the bedroom and gave him a hug.
"Bye Dad. I love you", he said.
"Goodnight son. I love you, too", said Rhys.


Then Noah crawled into his mama's bed and went back to sleep.







And Rhys left to go home.
