Lily Halstead Book 3 (Last Book)

Chapter 25

Connor opens the door and walks in. I walk in after with a sleeping Maverick in hand. He hadn't changed anything in the place. I walked into the living room and sat on the couch. "Lily, let me put Maverick in his bed." I gave him to Connor and as he was walking to the room I smiled. I started to cry because for that split second I had forgotten. I had forgotten Elijah. I had forgotten my other son. The guilt over welded me and I broke down. "How could it have been that easy to forget?" I thought to myself. "Lily what's wrong?" Connor knees down in front of me and held me. "I forgot Connor. I forgot Elijah." Connor hugged me and kissed my head.

Connor was sitting on the couch watching tv. And I was laying down with my head on his lap hoping to fall asleep. Connor started playing with my hair and rubbing my head as I looked up at him. He lowers his head and I raise mine and kiss him. I sit up siting on his lap facing him as he kiss me. He place his hands on my back and I run my hand through his hair. I had miss him and I had miss being with him. Even though we worked together it wasn't the same. He picks me up and takes me to our room, and gently lay me on the bed. He takes off my shirt then his. He over over me kissing my lips. I unbutton his pants and he takes them off. I slide my hand down his face to his shoulders down his arm. "I love you Connor." I said in his ear. He takes my hair away from my face "I love you too." He says back.

I woke up with out opening my eyes stretching my arm on Connor's side. He was there. I rolled over placing the sheets over me and trying to find my pillow. I hear foot steps and then felt him get into bed. He placed his arm over me and pulled me close. "Where did you go?" I asked holding his arm. "Maverick woke up and I didn't want to wake up so I got him back to sleep." I snuggled into place and rested my head on his arm.

I woke up with Connor getting out of bed. I looked at the clock and it was 6:30 in the morning. I decide to get up to check on Maverick. I slowly open the door and he was standing holding on his crib and smiling. "Oh good morning my sweet boy." He starts to laugh and bouncing. I pick him up and walk into the kitchen. Connor was getting things out to start cooking breakfast. I placed Maverick in his play pin and placed a couple of toys in there. "Connor." I looked up and see him walking over "yeah." We have to get Maverick new toys." All of the toys were small for younger babies. Maverick was almost 1, I watched as he played and then looked at Connor. "I forgot how long they were gone." Connor had us both walk back to the kitchen and make breakfast. "Come on you need to preoccupy your mind." He hands me some eggs and bread, and we began to cook together.
