Poor Henry I know lol. But anyways here's the next chapter a little longer... Review please
Alice's POV...
Running outside I could feel my eyes slowly brim with tears, as I remembered my own son's reaction. Anger, Confusion...Betrayal. The last thought made me swallow the lump that had formed in my throat. I never wanted my son to know his Father. The man no 'Machine' who...Lied, betrayed, hurt, and worst of all...Broke my heart. Not to mention he almost got me arrested and my own father disowned me after finding out about my teenage pregnancy. I was only 16 when I became pregnant. And I had to go through it alone. But my mother helped me even after my father treated me like shit. But since the day Henry had been born. I never ever thought he was a mistake, even though his father never knew about him...Until now.
After walking a little ways away from the cabin, I found Henry sitting on the edge of the dock, his little legs kicking, as he stared solemnly into the water. With a deep and shuttering inhale I made my over to him, my boots making noise as I approached, before sitting next to my son. We sat there for several seconds in quietness, as I played with my fingers nervously at what he would say, or if he wanted me to speak first. But he beat me to the punch.
''So that's him,'' Henry paused, glancing up at me. ''That's my dad?'' It was quick question but I slowly nodded and gently moved a curl from his face, as I inhaled deeply once more, trying to fight back tears.
''Why didn't you tell me?'' Henry asked, shrugging my hand off his shoulder, as his glare slowly was replaced with a frown. ''The truth about my dad?''
I sighed, but told him. ''Because I thought I'd never see him again,'' I paused, as I looked straight into his eyes. ''I never wanted too.'' That last word stung, but I hoped Pops heard it, he did break my heart first after all.
''Why not?'' Henry asked, staring with my with disdain, causing me to look down into the water, shaking my head, my mouth parting slightly.
''He was a killer, Henry,'' I began, chocking on some of my words. ''A-A liar, a bad guy...''I paused once more, as I noticed Henry's face. ''He broke my heart and betrayed me...''
Again there was silence between us, as Henry took in everything I just said about his father, his own father. The very man who I never wanted to know about Henry, or that I was still alive. It wasn't a moment too soon, when Henry began to speak again.
''I could have taken it you know,'' He stated, causing me to sigh once more, as he slowly looked back at me. ''the truth, about my father and about everything-''
''I know, Kid.'' I sighed, cutting him off, as I continued to fight back more tears remembering everything Pops did to me. ''He was just a part of my life that I...Wanted to forget.'' I paused, shaking my head. ''that's why I didn't tell you...I was thinking of me, not you.''
Slowly Henry bowed his head, before saying five words that shattered me. ''I want to meet him,'' He whispered with such determination, making my breath catch. ''I want to meet my dad.''
Nodding my head, I slowly got up and went to walk back to the cabin, only to see Pops standing just outside the door, where my mother had laid, but I noticed her body covered by leaves, guessing he had moved her, so Henry wouldn't have to see.
Slowly I looked straight into his eyes, as he stared me down. ''He wants to meet you,'' I whispered slowly, ''My son wants to meet you.'' Pops gave me a look as he sighed, looking at me with regret.
''You weren't going to tell me about him,'' He said, making me freeze, as his voice lowered to a dangerous level, meaning he was angry and shattered. ''That's why you tried to leave me here. So I would never find out about him.''
''Yes,'' I said, my voice firm, even though I wanted to yell at him. ''And no I was never on planning on telling you about, Henry.'' I stated truthfully, fisting my hands into the pockets of my jacket.
Pops avoided my gaze as he sighed. ''Yeah, well he's my kid too, so you don't get to make that decision by yourself anymore,'' He stated, as I he was pointing the obvious, causing me to roll my eyes.
''Great, go talk to him then,'' I nodded to the dock, causing Pops to look at Henry, who quickly glanced back before looking back into the water, before Pops could move, I stopped him. ''But don't break his heart...'' I warned.
Pops sighed, ''Trust me, I'm not going to do to him,'' Pops glanced at the dead T-800. ''What he did to, Henry ''
''And what you did to me,'' I growled, my voice angry, as he slowly chuckled nervously, as he glanced between me and Henry, before taking a deep breath. I could tell he was nervous as he scratched behind his ear.
''Ok, I get I we're all messed up,'' He smiled, lowering his hand from his ear, as he gave me look. ''Let's just try to avoid that with, Henry.'' He stated, leaving my side, and going to talk to our son. As I watched him.
''Alright,''
Pops POV...
Slowly I made my way over to the young lad, who was actually my son. The son I never knew existed until now. The son I never got to help raise. The very child I left Alice to raise by herself. But now that I'm here I wont make that mistake again. I will never let her and Henry go. Slowly and nervously I sat beside my son, who looked down into the water.
''So, your my dad,'' He said, looking at me with a small smile, which I returned, and nodded, gently placing my hand onto his shoulder.
''Yeah, lad,'' I started, my voice breaking as he stared me up and down, before glancing at the dead T-800 I had killed, I could see a little pit of fear in his eyes when he looked back at me, causing my non-exiting heart to shatter, but then he smiled.
''I'm Henry,'' He began, causing my smile to widen even more, as he had the same name my friend from the future had, the man I told Alice about. ''Henry Daniel Conner.''
''It's nice to meet you, Henry.'' I nudged him gently, causing him to smile slightly, as he looked back down into the water before looking back at me. ''I'm sorry it took so long for us to meet.'' I finished.
''It's ok,'' Henry smiled, ''You didn't know.''
(1 hour later, Restraunt: Friendly's)
Alice's POV...
After me and Pops slowly began to work everything out, for Henry's sake. I hopped out of the jeep, as Pops was waiting inside the restraunt, since he had taken his motorcycle. I could see Henry roll his eyes in annoyance, as we entered, I had to practically push him along, as I saw Pops sitting at a booth.
''Why did you bring me here?'' Henry asked, with an eye roll, as we approached Pops, who was over reading a menu. ''I don't want to talk to you about anything anymore. Not even about school.''
I sighed but nodded. ''You don't have too,'' I sighed, as I pushed him towards Pops who grinned at him and me. ''You can talk to him.'' Pops gave me a look, but he quickly looked at Henry with a grin.
''Hey, Lad!'' Pops smirked, pointing his finger at the booth across from him. ''Saved you two a seat.'' Henry slowly, smiled and sat from the booth across from him, as I gave Pops a look.
''I'm going to get a coffee,'' He whispered, causing Pops to nod, and playfully motion me away, so he could spend some time with our son.
Pops POV...
''Hey lad what's up,'' I smiled, as Henry gave me a look. ''How's your mother, she hasn't spoken to me recently after everything.'' Henry simply shrugged, before we turned out head's as the waitress came by, with Henry's ice cream, which I had ordered before he and Alice came here.
''One large sundae,'' The woman known as Ruby replied, sending me a smile, as she passed Henry his treat. ''Extra everything,''
''Thank you.'' I replied with a smile, before slowly pushing the treat towards my son, who stared at it for a couple of moments as I leaned in, before he gave me a raised eyebrow making me raise one in return.
''Extra everything?'' Henry asked, as he stared at the glass, causing me to give a nervous smile, as he slowly pushed the glass aside. ''You don't think I know a bribe when I see one?''
I chuckled, just like his mother. ''That obvious hu?'' I asked, as he smiled carelessly, slowly bouncing in his seat, with wicked look. Yep defiantly like his own mother, but I could see a little bit of me in there as well.
''So, what do you want?'' Henry asked, folding his arms over his chest, causing me to chuckle, as he gave me his mother's stern look. Well I couldn't lie to him.
''Well your mom and me,'' I began, as I glanced at Alice who was waiting for her drink. '' Don't think that 1984 is the safest place for you right now,'' I explained, causing his smile to disappear. ''And what I was thinking, after you're mom goes back to 1973 to get you're aunt, Sarah. What if we go to 1995.''
''1995?'' Henry rose an eyebrow, probably shocked about the hole time-travel thing. ''Are you serious?'' I didn't say anything as he continued. ''It's because the T-1000's in 1973 isn't it? And you don't want Sarah to meet Kyle, and you don't want to make the timeline the same?'' Smart kid, I thought. ''But If we go back to 1973 and defeat the T-1000 then we can fix everything. Sarah wont be in danger neither will I.''
I sighed, but nodded. ''Yeah, until then why don't we go to 1995.'' I smiled. Henry nodded, before grabbing his backpack. Making me confused as he suddenly got up but he eased me.
''Going to the bathroom,'' He simply replied, before rushing off, just as Alice came back, as I fixed my collar, as she handed me one of the coffee's.
''How did it go?'' She asked, as he put her red jacket back on the same one she wore when I saw her again. ''With Henry about everything?''
I smiled and nodded. ''It went good, he said yes.'' I smiled, causing her to furrow her eyebrows in shock. ''Not bad as day 1 as a dad if I do say so myself-''
''Wait where's his backpack?'' Alice said, cutting me off, causing me to shrug. As I stared where Henry had been recently sitting.
''I don't know he took it with him.'' I replied with a smile, as Alice glared at me with shock and disdain.
''To the bathroom? Did you really fall for that?'' She asked, causing my smile to disappear, as I noticed the worry lacing in her eyes. ''He's your son.''
Slowly that's when everything dawned on me. ''He's running.''
(Meanwhile)
Henry is running off into the woods, his mission to go back to 1973 and defeat the T-1000 and get his aunt back, without his parents.
