Amelia looked as her father went all around their home getting things ready. Her mother and younger brother would be making their way back home for the first time in years. While Amelia had decided to stay with her father (as per the court's decision) her brother had gone with their mother. Gabriel didn't have any contact with their father and nor was he was excited to be returning back home.
"Dad, calm down, you're going to break something," Amelia said.
"I haven't seen your brother since he was nine and me and your mother divorced. That was six years ago," Liam said.
"You think I don't know that? Daddy please," Amelia said as she stopped her father.
A divorce changed everything for the Barrett family. With Liam's infidelity, he had torn his family apart. And Rosalie didn't want to have her son exposed to that. So, Rosalie had taken Gabriel and moved to Iceland for 6 years. Now the young lad was due to be 15 years old while his sister had continued her life with her father in the small town. Amelia looked at her father, forcing him to sit down, as she sat down beside him.
"I know Gabriel hasn't been home for many years, and I know the last time you guys saw one another was a long time ago. But at the same time, it's going to be fine. It's going to be fine, Dad," Amelia said.
Amelia heard the door opening and saw as her father had jumped up. They saw as her brother and mother walked into the house while both she and her father were surprised.
"Gabriel. Oh, son, it's nice seeing you again," Liam said.
"Whatever, where am I sleeping?" Gabriel asked.
"Gabriel Barrett, you are going to behave yourself. Hi, Mia," Rosalie said as she hugged her daughter.
"Hi, Mama," Amelia said as she hugged her mother.
"Can your big sister get a hug?" Amelia asked as Gabriel, reluctantly hugged her.
"Come on. You are in your old room," Amelia said as Gabriel went upstairs.
"Someone is in an amazing mood," Amelia said.
"He's mad at me because I am dragging him back to hell. His words," Rosalie said as Amelia exhaled.
"Let me go and check up on him," Liam said as he went up the stairs.
"How are you doing, Amelia? Someone special yet?" Rosalie asked as Amelia remembered the events of the previous night.
"Perhaps. I don't know. I'll keep you up to date if anything happens," Amelia said.
"You can't be so secretive," Rosalie said.
"With my mother, I can be," Amelia said as Rosalie smiled.
