to hear back from you."
What?? I only skim through my mail and don't really pay attention to it because I always pay my bills online so I usually only get junk mail. I ran to my drawer where I keep my mail and started to search for? What? What am I searching for exactly? I never received anything that said on the front ‘Hey! Do you want your kid back?’ Here it is! Mathias Jackson, Attorney at Law.
I opened the envelope and yes, it's addressed to me, wanting to know if I am who he needs to talk to regarding Grayson Ryan Brown and then his phone number to call him with. I turned around and looked at Olivia.
"What am I supposed to do O? I mean... I'm not like you... I don't know how to be a mother. Should I call this guy?" So many thoughts are going through my head at what to do. She walked up to me and hugged me and I looked over her shoulder at Caleb and Cash.
"Claud, I know that your mind has got to be blown right now with all of this information and I think that you were expecting one of two conclusions here. He was fine or he was dead and you didn't get either of them as your answer. Now, as far as you not knowing how to be a mother? I completely disagree with you. As a mother we have what some would call a mothers intuition and you were right on the money with yours. There is no stronger love in the world than the love of a mother for her child. Did you ever go a day without thinking about him once?"
"No! I've never gone a minute of any day since I found out that I was pregnant without thinking about him."
Caleb walked up to me and pulled me into his arms and I could feel a weight lift off of my shoulders because I knew that something as simple as a hug was his way of letting me know that he still accepted me. ALL of me. I looked up at him with tears in my eyes silently asking him without saying a word what he thought I should do and he smiled at me and wiped my tears away with his fingers.
"I think you should call this Mathias guy and talk to him and I also think that it's time to meet your son. He's going to fall madly in love with you Claud, maybe even more in love with you than I am. You already rock at being an aunt and I can't wait to see how awesome of a mom you're going to be. Not to mention the hottest one around."
I heard Olivia gasp behind me and Cash cleared his throat at his brother's big announcement.
"I sensed that we interrupted something by Caleb's lack of oxygen when he opened the door and the fact that you both barely have any clothes on." I looked down and realized that I was so upset when they showed up I forgot to grab my robe. I reached over and got it off of the back of the chair and put it on while Cash and Olivia giggled. "All that I have to say is that IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!!" I looked over at Cash and grinned and Olivia was beaming from ear to ear.
"Yeah, yeah, but not to change the subject, what if this Mathias guy wants me to go right away? I don't know if I'm ready for all of this you guys!"
"If it helps, I'll have my pilot get the jet ready and you won’t have to worry about booking a flight if you decide to leave today or tomorrow. So... That's one thing you don't have to stress out about."
I looked up at Caleb and wondered where he fits into this crazy new scenario. I realize that maybe the timing of our...well... I'm not sure exactly what we are. I know that I'm just as in love with him as he's already declared he is with me but does that include the possibility of being a father to my son? He must have been reading my mind because he grinned and shook his head at me.
"Baby... I'll back you no matter what you decide you want to do and if that includes raising your son or not raising your son I'm here. I’m here for the long haul I'd like to add! You will not have to do any of this alone because I love you Cruella."
Aww... He called me Cruella... I used to hate it but he's right... Cruella and Nerd Boy are definitely our pet names for each other. I reached up and gave
