Lilly

HOME AT LAST CHAPTER 26

It was almost two months since Lilly was taken into the Godfrey Industries and her health had really improved and Oswald was a beautiful healthy baby boy.  Price had put Lilly on a trial medication he had been working on which was some sort of blood capsules that prevented carvings for blood he had hopes and aspirations for giving Upir's normal lives. Roman had also tried them previously but they didn't seem to work for him, but they seemed to work for Lilly and so far she was the only one this drug actually worked.

Lilly and Roman were waiting for the letter from Price to allow Lilly to leave the ground as he had to make sure that she wasn't going to be a threat for the society. "Can I take her home now?" asked Roman as Price continued writing on his computer whilst himself and Lilly sat on some soft chairs in the centre of Prices office and Oswald was sat in a blue car seat that way sat beside Lilly's legs. Oswald was beginning to get restless as he began to cry. Normally this time of day would be when Lilly would be feeding him a bottle of formula breast milk. "How much, longer is this going to take?" asked Roman in an annoyed tone. "I'm almost done "said Price as Roman looked at Oswald who was still crying. "Make him be quiet!" said Roman as he was struggling to gather his thoughts. "It's a baby, Roman I can't just tell him to be quiet" advised Lilly as Oswald's cries began to echo and ring through Roman's ears as Lilly then she got him out of the car seat swaying trying to calm him down. "How much longer?" asked Roman as Price then started Printing the letter out of the Printer. "It's ready now" said Price as Roman took it from the Printer.

Lilly was now sat on the soft chairs holding Oswald in her arm's and feeding him a bottle of milk which she had just made up from the remaining contents she had in her bag for him. "Lilly come on" said Roman impatiently as he wanted to get home as it had been a long stressful day for him at work. "He's just a baby, Roman" said Lilly as she continued holding him in her hands as Roman approached her and placed his fingers on Oswald's tiny head as he stared to drift off to sleep finishing the remaining milk. "He is your son, Roman, you should get to know him more you haven't even held him yet" said Lilly as she began putting him in the car seat and strapping him in as Roman then lifted the car seat with the handle. "I'm holding him now, aren't I?" he said in a sarcastic tone as Lilly and Roman headed for Roman's car. "That's not what, I meant" said Lilly as she couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time he had made her laugh since the breakup she thought back to the first time she ever met him when Roman took her to the hidden shed, secretly she wished that they could jump back in time to when things felt normal.

Roman and Lilly now arrived at the car that was sat in the carpark. It no longer a Jaguar it was a silver ford mustang with four doors but but it was dustier than it should normally be because Roman hadn't had the time to clean it as he kept meaning to get round to doing it, but he was so caught up with Lilly the new house, work and get the nursery ready for baby Oswald in preparation for his welcoming to his new home. "New car?" Lilly asked smiling at Roman. "Yeah do you like it? He asked, as Lilly nodded and smiled. "It needs a wash, maybe I'll get it done at the weekend." Roman said as he unlocked the car and placed the car seat on the backseat ensuring that Oswald was securely fastened in correctly. Lilly then got into the car as Roman sat in the driver's seat and put on his seatbelt and placed his key into the lock and turned the key starting the engine as he placed his hand on the gearstick and selected first gear, he began moving the car down the road.
