Chapter Nine

Ever since Wyatt had given her the amazing portrait, Kayla had agonized over how she might repay his kindness. It had taken her two days, but she now had a plan.

“Hey, Brady,” she said, sweeping into the living room with her laptop in hand. “It’s time for our chat with Gammy and Pops.” She set up her laptop on the coffee table and turned off the window air. Her apartment rewiring completed, she no longer had to worry about running her AC, but it was noisy.

“OK.” Leaving his toys where they were, he joined her on the couch.

Every week, she and Brady shared a FaceTime call with her parents. She opened her computer and entered their number. Her parents appeared on her screen. “Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.” She waved.

“Gammy, Pops, d’you know what?” Brady slid off the couch, placed his hands on the coffee table and leaned in close to the camera lens above the computer screen.

“No, what?” They asked in unison, well versed in Brady speak.

“I got to go to Como Zoo with my school, and there are gorillas there, and tigers.” He practically vibrated with excitement.

“Wow, that’s great,” her mom said, grinning. “Looks like you’ve grown since last week, Brady.”

“Yep.” He straightened and threw out his chest. “And I’m getting stronger.” He flexed his skinny arms for them. “See?”

“Whoa,” her dad chuckled. “You sure are.”

“I drawed a comic book at school. Do you want me to send it to you?”

“Oh, we’d love that, sweetie,” her mom said. “Sure does sound like you have a lot of fun at that school.”

He nodded enthusiastically. “And d’you know what else? I’m going to stay there until I start kindagarden.”

Kayla and her mom shared an amused look. “Speaking of school, how’re things going with your program?” her mom asked.

“Really well. Not much longer, and I’ll be finished. I found out the graduation ceremony is going to be at O’Shaughnessy Auditorium in Saint Paul, which isn’t too far from my apartment.”

“Good. We’ve already reserved our hotel rooms for the weekend of the seventeenth. Your brother and grandfather are going to make it after all. We’re all looking forward to it,” her dad said. “We’re proud of you, Kayla.”

“Thanks, Dad.” She’d worked hard to pull her life together after all the BAMs. A rush of pride swept through her. Her parents had been so disappointed when she’d turned up pregnant, and it wasn’t like they hadn’t taught her about the facts of life and birth control, either. She’d let them down big time. Hell, she’d let herself down. Her gaze caught on Brady, and a flood of love and tenderness hit her system. No matter what though, she’d never regretted having her amazing little boy. She reached out and smoothed the hair from his forehead.

“Are you still planning on coming home over Labor Day weekend?” her mom asked. “We miss you two so much.”

“I miss you too, Gammy, and d’you know what?” Brady launched into excitement mode again. “My friend Wyatt drawed a picture of me and Mommy.
