Brandon Corwin, Esquire ~ Attorney at Law
Once the media circus died down, we all slipped out of the back entrance to our office building. We all decided to hunker down as a family at our mother's house until this battle was won. Chance went home to get Avalon. They packed their clothes and essentials. Brandon went to his apartment to pack. Megan and I drove straight to my mother's house, to go spend time with Liliana. I know she needed to see her, after today's events.
We walked in the door to, "Mommy and Mr. Alex, I missed you. You were gone a long time today. Grandma Corwin, took me shopping and brought me clothes and more toys. We played, colored, and I drew you a picture."
Megan, couldn't hold her tears back any more, it was like a storm surge. I had to hold her up, and keep her steady.
"What's wrong with mommy, Mr. Alex?" Liliana, looked at me with such expression in her adorable eyes, that I had to clear my throat a few times.
"Mommy, is so happy to see you. Sometimes, grownups cry when they're happy and your mommy is very happy to see you." She hesitantly believed me, and then hugged her mommy.
She ran and got the picture that she drew. I looked at my mother who knew exactly what happened today. She gave me and Megan a hug. I knew I made the right decision, bringing Megan and Liliana to stay here. My mother is a force to be reckoned with, and she is an ally, that you want on your side.
Liliana, came back with her drawing. It was a picture with Megan, her, Mr. Alex, Grandma Corwin, and a dog. She is so cute, and added her new grandma this time, but she is still insisting on the dog. We all laughed about that, and it was good to laugh. . . .
Avalon, Chance, and Brandon all arrived with their suitcases. My mother was tickled pink, to have the whole family staying for the summer. She had everyone's things taken to their rooms, and we all sat down to a delicious family dinner. We tried to enjoy the meal and time spent together.
My mother loved telling Megan and Avalon about the mischief, that my brothers and I would get into when we were little. Liliana, couldn't get over the fact that we were little at one time, looking at us now.
I fall more in love with Megan and Liliana, every day.
Megan went to put Liliana to bed, and I joined her. I asked if I could read her the bedtime story she had picked?
Liliana, sat up in her bed with wrapt attention. "Mr. Alex, I like when you read stories, you have a deep voice." She covered her mouth and giggled. I love when she does that.
Megan and I kissed Liliana goodnight, and left her room. "If we hurry, we can catch the sunset. I love that it's the end of June, and it's still light out at 8:30 p.m." I grabbed Megan's hand, and headed for the back deck.
We sat side by side on the deck steps and Megan leaned against me, with the weight of the world on her shoulders. We watched the brilliant shades of red, yellow, and orange envelope the sky, as the sun set. Megan, never looked more incredible, the way the fading sunlight caught the flecks of brown in her green eyes. I held her face in my hands and kissed away her hurt from the day. That kiss was extraordinary and I knew in that moment, that I was in love with Megan. That she and Liliana had forever changed my life, and there was no going back. . . .
