"Forgiveness & Pecan Pie"
Jr Lt Georgia Lewis & Cmdr Skyler
 
Skyler still had one person left to talk to and to  set things straight with 
and that person was Georgia. How she could've ever  considered her as a bad 
person was beyond her imagination. Georgia raised her  has one of her own. She 
was the only family Skyler remembered before all this  mess with Sunni or 
Melanie had started.
 
She left her quarters and made her way to  Georgia's. It had been a long time 
since she had actually been to Georgia's  quarters. Standing outside the door 
she took a deep breath and rang the  chime.
 
Georgia was sitting in her usual chair with the  sweater on that Ms. Melanie 
had given her. She looked like she was lost and  forlorn. She heard the chime 
and couldn't imagine who it would be accept for  maybe Ms. Melanie. She 
haddend heard from Ms. Skyler in a very long time and was  beginning to think 
that 
she never would.
 
"It ain't locked so's you might as well come in."  She was curious as to who 
would be calling on her at this time.
 
She didn't even look up when the door opened to  see Skyler standing there. 
Skyler entered the room and walked over to where  Georgia was sitting. She 
kneeled down and grabbed the older woman's hands into  her own. "Georgia, it's 
me 
Skyler. I have come to apologize for hurting you and  for all the trouble I 
have caused." She looked into the older woman's eyes for  some sign of 
recognition.
 
Georgia straightened up in her chair and looked at  Skyler in disbilief. "Ms. 
Skyler is that really you or is I  dreamin'?"
 
"No Georgia you aren't dreaming, it's really me. I  have come to ask your 
forgiveness for all the trouble and pain I have put you  through. I also came 
to 
Thank You for everything you did for me as a child and  as a friend. I would 
be lost without you."
 
Georgia was incomplete shock. She had waited for  this day for so long that 
she couldn't believe it was here. She reached up and  touched Skyler's face to 
make sure it was real. She then pulled Skyler to her  chest and held her 
tight. 
 
"Oh my lordy!!  'tis really you!!" Tears were  running down Georgia's face, 
but this time they were tears of joy. She was  holding onto Skyler so tight 
that Skyler was having trouble  breathing.
 
"Georgia....I can't....breathe." Georgia loosened  her grip but didn't let go 
completely for fear of waking up and finding out it  was all a dream. 
 
Skyler reached up and wiped the  tears from  her friends face. "Can you ever 
forgive me for being so stupid and stubborn? I  should've known from the 
beginning that you were only trying to protect me and  that you had made a 
promise 
and I know you don't go back on your  word."
 
"Ms. Skyler, you ain't got nuttin' to ask  forgiveness for. It's I should be 
askin' you for that forgiveness. Lord knows I  shoulda dun sumthin 'bout all 
this mess long time ago. I shoulda told you 'bout  your sister. I shouldna kept 
sumthin like that from you. I's the one to blame  for all thats happened."
 
Skyler looked at Georgia and could see the pain in  her eyes. "Georgia nobody 
is to blame for anything. You were doing what you  thought was best for me, 
just as you always have. Melanie....or Sunni and I have  talked and are going 
to start to build a relationship and try and get to know  each other and you 
are a part of our family. You always  have been and you  always will be. 
Besides 
who is going to keep me in line if you don't?" Skyler  smiled at the woman 
who smiled back for the first time in a very long  time.
 
"The past is the past and now the three of us can  start anew as a family. 
That is if you still want me in your life?"
 
Georgia looked at Skyler and gave her a stern  look. "Now dun't you go sayin' 
things like that. Like you said the past is the  past. 'sides I would have no 
life if you werent in it. Now lets have us some  homemade leomenade and some 
Pecan Pie. Nun of that replicated stuff, I has a  real one I's just baked. I 
can't thin' of a better time to eat it can  you?"
 
Skyler laughed which in turn made Georgia laugh.  "No ma'am I can't. I have 
been missing your pecan pies something  awful."
 
The two sat at the table eating their Pecan  pie and catching up on old 
times. Hopefully things were on the  mend.
