Chapter 12—Claire

I couldn’t believe what just happened. I think I died and had gone to heaven. I wasn’t ready to admit my love for him because it was too soon, but when he said it with such honesty I just couldn’t hold back what he did to me.

We finally made it downstairs, and I wasn’t a nervous wreck anymore. Something about knowing his feelings seemed to make me feel more secure. We walked into the dining room where everyone was eating breakfast.

“Good morning, sweetheart. How are you feeling?” my mother asked as she came and gave me a hug. Her concern was sweet and knowing.

“I’m better, but I have a long way to rebuild my life.”

“In Texas.” I heard Travis mumble under his breath. I looked at him and didn’t say anything. I knew that was going to be a huge possibility.

He pulled me forward and with one arm around my waist, he said, “Baby, this is my sister, Melanie.” He smiled brightly to his sister, then said, “Mellie, this is my woman, Claire.”

“Claire, I’m so excited to me you, but I hoped it would have been under different circumstances,” his sister said as she gripped both of my hands before giving me a hug.

“Me, too,” I said as I pulled back into Travis’s hold.

“These are my sons, Elias, Jr., Kevin, and Steven.”

“Hi, boys.” I waved shyly at them.

They all said hi, but it was the middle one that came up to me and hugged tightly. “Hi, I’m Kevin,” he said with a windowed grin.

“Hi, Kevin. How old are you?”

“I’m four years old. I like cars, and trains. Do you like trains? Thomas is my favorite, but I also like Pussy.”

“What!?” I said as my face flushed. I was shocked that he would say something like that and who told him how to say that?

“He means Percy, but I’m sure he will one day,” Travis said as he tried to hide his laugh. The whole room tried to hold in their laughter, but my father let out a chuckle and it was too much for the entire room to bear. Everyone, but the children erupted in fits of laughter.

“What’s so funny?” the eldest boy said.

Eli answered, “You’re uncle likes Percy too.”

“Uncle Travis likes pussy,” Kevin said with innocent glee.

This time I turned purple which made everyone laugh harder.

“Kevin, my boy, there isn’t a man in this room who doesn’t like Percy.”

“Cool. Daddy, I didn’t know you liked pussy?”

“He likes Percy a little too much,” Melanie said as she rubbed her slightly rounded belly.

“You adults are crazy. It’s a stupid train,” Eli Jr., said as he shook his head, stood up with his empty plate and left the dining room. He was not amused at all.

“He’s our serious child,” my mother said with a smile.

“I don’t know where he could have got it from,” Melanie said as she pointedly looked right at Travis.

“He didn’t get it from me. He got it from that stick in the mud right there,” Travis exclaimed as he pointed at Eli.
