Epilogue
Mum and Dad wanted to have a chat with me after the doctor left. I told them quite clearly that I didn't want to have any chat with them right now, they kept pushing, but I stood firm and Tayte, Noah and Arlo also backed me up.
I knew this chat was long awaited, with Mum also being present, but why should I speak with them about something I couldn't even get my head around.
Though, the voices were still there, muted, but still there.
And then we had Arlo. It feels as if he has always been there, in our life I mean. The way he calms me down is incredible, especially considering I don't usually listen to anyone except Tayte and on the occasion Noah. I am actually so pissed off that Mum hid him from us all. For 16 years he thought he was alone with an on an off Mother and that it took 29 years before he would meet us.
"Stop overthinking, what is there to even think about?" Tayte told me, "Okay despite the obvious, but stop it!" he kissed me, "Please," I grinned,
"I will try,"
"Well you better try hard"
"Or what?" I teased,
"Oh you really want to go there," he smiled, I nodded,
"Oh I'm going there,"
...
Talina and Tammara had arrived again and I know that Mum and Dad filled Talina in with what happened, not that it bothers me, as I would have told her myself anyway.
I wasn't going to let any of it bother me. What the doctor had said, how my parents are slowly losing me, how extraordinary my boyfriend and brothers are.
"Keane..."
"I know what you're going to say,"
"I was going to say, I know your mind is as stable as you believe it to be and I know that it doesn't matter what's throw your way, you deflect it...most of the time," Talina said with a wink.
"I wish you were there,"
"Well I'm here now and I'm not going away any time soon,"
"You're going to come to America?"
"Yes, your parents have asked me,"
"You can stay with us," she smiled,
"I'd love to...only whilst my place is being fixed up," my eyes widened,
"That reaction...Oh Keane...the love I have for you..."
"Love you too Mum"
"Keane, you need to stop calling me that..."
"Why? I mean it...I'm never going to stop loving my parents. But I'm not going to forgive them. You've been more of a Mum to me than she has these past years. You can tell me to stop, but that doesn't mean I have to listen," she rolled her eyes and kissed my forehead.
"Well I've told you and that's all I can do..."
"In other words, keep not listening," I laughed.
We had a late picnic lunch at around 2pm of fish, chicken nuggets and chips full of cheese, ordered by Mum and collected by Dad, Noah and Angelo. There was a happy buzz around the room and it felt strange, considering what had gone on less than a couple of hours ago. Not that I was complaining.
There was a knock on the door around an hour after we'd finished eating.
And you would have never guessed who entered.
"Daddy," Tammara cried, running to him. He enveloped her into a giant hug, "I can't believe you're really here,"
"George," Mum and Dad's shocked voices then said, "We thought you were dead, the mission you were..."
"So did I," he answered, "So did I,"
"Have you...does Taylor know?" he shook his head,
"I've not been back in England long and I just...I don't know how too..." Tayte and I looked at each other confused. Was Taylor a wife? Husband? Lover? Child? "Let's not go into that right now," Mum squeezed his hand,
"It's just so good to see you both alive and well,"
"It's good to be alive," he answered, arms still wrapped around his daughter, who was grinning so much.
"What happened? Where have you both been?" Dad asked,
"That is a long story and one we don't have time for right now," Parker answered, "I'm just glad you are with your family and that everyone is...alive," he said looking at me, I smiled and nodded,
"You rang me didn't you...when I was in London before...the call was blocked and..."
"Yes I did ring you and I shouldn't have...I just needed to hear your voice. I needed to know you were okay. I'm sorry you had to think I was dead. I'm sorry baby girl," he said squeezing her tight. "Talina it has been a while, thank you for looking after her, thank you all for looking after her" Mum's phone then started to ring, she answered it,
"Arii honey can I call you back?
What's going on? What are you hiding from me? I've just landed in Heathrow, I couldn't be in America, I had a feeling something had happened?
Is Damon with you?
No it's just me. Mum what's...?
Arii I need you to get the tube, Piccadilly line from Heathrow terminal 4, it's 18 stops to Green park, change there and get on the Jubilee to London Bridge okay, I will meet you, so ring me when you're up top
Why are you in London Bridge? Is everyone okay?
We're at London Bridge Hospital, call me when you're here" and she hung up.
"Wait for it, three...two...one..." Mum's phone starting ringing again, "Told you,"
"You shouldn't have mentioned hospital maybe, just a thought Mum..." Noah said.
"Well she was going to find out any way,"
"But now she's going to be panicking and worrying whose hurt and what's happened. Plus once she's got over that, you'll be dropping the bombshell that she has another older brother. Great parenting Mum," I said.
Dad's phone then rang,
"She's going to ring all of us now, until one of us answers"
"Just let it ring, lets do this the right way, in person,"
"The right way was telling her when it happened"
"Babe...enough, let's not do this," Tayte said. I pouted at him, but stopped.
Everyone began to quietly talk amongst one another.
Another knock then came at the door half an hour later, we all thought it was the doctor.
Oh how wrong we all were.
The door opened and none other than Mario Galviao was stood there, Mum gasped,
"Galviao" I snarled.
"Well, this is a lovely reunion. Told you I'd be seeing you soon Keane. Is everyone ready for the fireworks?"
The End
<<<
WOW, JUST WOW.
THERE YOU GO. IT ENDED ON A CLIFFHANGER!
IT REALLY HAS ENDED!
I HAVE SO MUCH LOVE FOR MY BOYS!
THIS ISN'T THE LAST WE'RE GOING TO SEE OF THEM.
THIS STORY IS FAR FROM PERFECT, FAR FROM IT. BUT IT HAS BEEN MY FAVOURITE TO WRITE SO FAR. I FEEL EACH STORY HAS GROWN, AS HAS THE CHARACTERS AND MYSELF AS A WRITER.
AS FOR THE MANY MISTAKES. WHEN I HAVE TIME I WILL BE EDITING AND CHANGING BITS IN THE STORY.
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, I THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR READING.
MUCH LOVE.
SIGNING OFF FOR THE LAST TIME.
