" Amelia.." I said
" what Derek."
" you should have told me."
" why so you could yell at me?"
" no so I could be there for you."
" what could you have done. Nobody could have done anything."
" that's why you have family Amelia, to be there for you when yo are going through a rough time. To be there to hold your hand."
" I had Addison. And I know you and Addison will never be on good terms but she was there for me when I needed her."
" someday we will." I smiled. " come here." I said and I gave her a hug.
"guys?" Cooper said
" what's up coop?" I asked
" well our plane is leaving soon so we were gonna head out. Thanks for having us. It's always good seeing you Derek."
I got up.
" same here Cooper. If you ever need anything I'm here."
" thanks. Amelia I will talk to you later. Be good kiddo."
" you too. Take care of the kid."
" will do."
Then Charlotte came out.

" bye Char. be safe."
"And Derek, can always need a good lookin guy like you around. You know besides my hubby."
" if you ever need me you have my number." I giggled.
Then Violet came.

" thanks for taking care of her while she was in LA."
" anytime. Aww come here kiddo I'm gonna miss you." He hugged Amelia.
Naomi came out.
" How can I miss my favorite guy!" She had tears in her eyes.
" You know you're my favorite too. Take care. I promise I will call. Love you."
" you better and the phone works both ways. Stay happy Derek."
