Chapter 26 Sisterly Love

I decide it's time to give the children some lessons today and get their routine back on track. From a professional approach, I know that children are much happier when they have a routine in their lives. Though it won't stop me worrying over Lucas, it might help take my mind off the problem for a while. Drew seems confident that Trish is unlikely to ever be awarded custodial rights, let alone visiting rights. While he attends a meeting with his lawyers, we agreed it was best if I didn’t go and instead spend time with the children.

Drew is my rock, that’s for sure. What would I have done if he hadn’t picked me up and kept me going, I just don’t know. He came back into my life at the perfect time, so it seems. Annie and Lucas are like two little twins, which is wonderful as we want them to grow up as siblings. I know I’m not Lucas’s biological mother, but we’re made of the same genes and bloodline, so I’m close enough. I’ve cared for him since he was a newborn, and so I feel like I'm his mother. I always knew he’d have to know the truth one day and I will never keep it from him. But, I’d rather tell him when he’s older and can understand what happened and why.

“Okay, children, Rita says your lunch is ready," I announce as I wind up our session on counting blocks. "This afternoon, we’ll do some painting and then read a storybook, how does that sound?”

“Can I dress up, mommy?” Annie asks me. Dressing up is her favorite game of all.

“Okay, we’ll dress up too,” I smile, giving them both a hug before they run off to the kitchen area.

“Mommy,” Lucas comes running back to me. “Can we go look at our boat too?”

“We’ll see how much time we have left before dinner,” I answer.

My father would have been proud that Lucas loves boats. Drew’s yacht is moored up where we can go visit and the children can climb aboard and run around it every now and then. That happens to be Lucas’s favorite game.

As I’m clearing away their colorful blocks, my cell phone rings. I assume it’s Drew but I don’t recognize the number. It could be someone from school as I’m still helping out to do a handover of my workload, so I answer it.

“Trish?” I say as I hear my sister’s voice, but she’s rambling and I can't make out what she's saying. “Slow down, I don’t understand you?"

“He threatened to beat me up, Chrissy,” she sobs. “Can I stay at your house where I can lock him out?”

“Are you telling me that you’re finished with him, Trish?” I ask. “Because I don’t want you and him settling yourselves all cozy in my home.”

“It’s not like that, Chrissy. He’s lied to me, all this time. I want you to tell me the truth,” she says.

“Okay, I’ll meet you at the house in an hour, can you manage that?” I ask.
