do you hear it

Chapter 6 all or nothing.

Early the next morning I sat on the couch with my knees to my chest it was crazy to me to think today was all or nothing. I can't do this be a mother to a child take care of him even with Lewis here now I don't know how to be a mother. Lewis had come out of the bedroom thinking I was in the bathroom but then he saw me on the couch. I seemed zoned out he kissed my cheek to try to get my attention. But when I didn't look at him that was enough to make him worry, he has seen me zoned out before but not like this.

" Lyla."

" Uh yeah." I respond looking at him.

" What do you want to eat?"

" Whatever you want." 

We ate together then we still had a few hours until the court meeting, So I tried to keep busy until the time came. Lewis and I got ready to go the mix of emotions I was feeling I have never felt anything. I knew this was a good thing but the thing it this could turn bad fast and that was what scared me. Lewis knew I was scared but he understood why so he didn't push me to talk about it. As the time came to head out, I was nervous as ever and I could see Lewis was starting to feel it to. We stood in front of the court room doors Lewis grabbed my hand I don't think I had ever held onto him so tight.

We sat down in seats next to ech other my leg was shaking which Lewis saw move his to my thigh rubbing it with his thumb. Mashall had also came to support his bother sitting beside Lewis. Soon the Judge came out and called the meeting to order I could see Mr. Jeffres from ware I was sitting. Lewis called his lawyer to come San Francisco to help us in court we sat there while the Judge asked us questions. But then the woman that was trying to adopt Even stood up stated her case glaring at me. It when on for a few hours back and forth until the finial chose was made.             

" Evin Tylor has been put into the custody of Lyla Novacek and Lewis Connelly."  

A joy filled my heart unlike anything I had never felt before and it only got better when we sighed the adoption papers. Evin was now officially Evin Connelly we will go to pick him after we are done at the courthouse. We headed to pick him up we got into a cap then when we got there, we helped him pack his bags. We gave him a minute to say goodbye to his friend and told him his friend could come visit. when we got home, we ordered a pizza, and I showed Evin his room the look on his face was so cute. I could tell he felt home the way he smiled putting his stuff away and that's all I wanted for him. After that we ate dinner and by the time we were done with that it was pretty late Evin got into pj's got in bed.

" Good night mom night dad." Evin said with a smile.

" Good night, bud." I smile back.

" Good night son." Lewis said looking at his son his words make me smile.

I shut the door Lewis, and I headed to our room where I was folding laundry awhile Lewis took a shower. After I was done putting the laundry away, I decided to put my pj's on and put my hair in a ponytail. A little later Lewis walked in warring a baggy blue t-shirt and red checkered pajama pants. He sat next to me on the bed I was looking at the picture of our first morning together smiling. Lewis had realized I had looked at it almost every night since we got back together but it didn't upset him.

" Looking at the picture again?" Lewis asked pulling me into his chest.

" Yeah, it's funny I used to replay that night in my head all the time."

" Me to love I still Rember everything.

" Really?"   

🎶"Well it's marvelous night for a Moondance."🎶

🎶"With the stars up above in your eyes."🎶

🎶"A fabulous night to make romance." 🎶

🎶"Neath the cover of October skies."🎶

" The song." I said with a look of shock on my face.

" What? thought I forgot."  

" Yeah."

" Come on love let's go to bed we've had a long day."

We cuddled till morning my head on his chest his arms wrapped around me we fell asleep a few minutes later. In that moment Lewis knew he had everything he would ever need right in this house. But he still wanted to move to San Francisco to make a better life us and I know that but right now I'm good right here. If I think about it, we met here our son was born here and we found ech other here. In the morning, we let Evin sleep in I can only imagine the emotions he had yesterday he probably needs the rest. I was up before Lewis or Evin that was normal well not having Evin the funny thing is I hate mornings. Soon I heard Lewis get up giving me a kiss on the head from my seat on the couch. Then cupping my cheek seeing the dark bags under my eyes looking down at me.

" You look tiered did you sleep, ok?"

 " Meh my brain wouldn't turn off probably just stress from yesterday with getting Evin."

" Is it something we need to talk about?"

" Nah I'm good babe." I said smiling up at him.               

 " Ok." He said before leaning down to kiss my lips.
