Chapter 7

Shawn didn’t want anything that Aunt Holly had left him. What he really wanted was for her to be here again. But since that wasn’t going to happen, he sat quietly in the large conference room with the rest of them. Abby was there as well, even though they’d been told she’d not been mentioned. But telling the attorney that she stayed or they left had gotten her there for the reading. They needed her as much as Mars did.

The attorney, Butch Sandow, had had to step out for a moment. When he returned just now, he looked flustered and out of sorts. Picking up what Shawn thought was the will, he laid it down again to look at them all.

“I must apologize for the interruption just now. There was some sort of misunderstanding that I needed to take care of. Your mothers, the rest of your mothers, have shown up demanding that they be here with you while the will is read. I’m not sure their reasons for it, but I had to call the police to have them escorted out.” Abby laughed but tried hard to stop it. Before Mr. Sandow could speak again, she burst out laughing again. “I don’t understand the humor, but I’m betting that it’s a good story. They were very determined to know what sort of estate Miss Wilkerson could have had. I didn’t tell them, of course, but they thought that I could make better use of my time than to tell you that you might have gotten an ashtray from your aunt.”

“Aunt Holly didn’t smoke.” The man smiled at him. “I’m sure that after today our mothers will have plenty to say. We’ve taken a vow of silence toward them. They might be our birth mothers, but Aunt Holly was the mom that we all ran to when we needed something. She was the best there was.”

“She spoke highly of all of you. So much so that I feel as if I know who each of you are.” He named them, getting not only their names right but also the order that they’d been born in. “And Abby, believe it or not, she spoke of you often too. She said that you were a much stronger woman than anyone would have believed. That you might not believe it just yet.”

“I’m getting there.” Shawn watched the exchange of looks between her and Mars. He’d bet that sometime soon that Mars would be married to Abby, and they’d be announcing that they were having a child. He envied them both. “I have all these men here to make me feel good about myself. And I get to knock them around a little while I’m at it.”

“She does it well too.” Shawn kissed Abby on the cheek as he continued. “Aunt Holly not only brought us all together, but she kept us together by being one of the kindest women that I’ve ever had the pleasure of being related to. I know
