Letting my love go

Part 20

(The family's Bloodline)

Sasha my dad called he wants us to come to their house in an hour for a family meeting, bae said it's fine with him, let him go up and change, did I know what the meeting is about, I told him knowing my father it has something to do with our wedding. Sasha went upstairs, Ms. Parker came into the room, she told me she's leaving for the day, thank God RJ's mom and dad took them out to dinner, the boy needs his mouth washed out with soap, the way he speaks to her, but Tiff is such a sweet girl, how could two children come from the same parents, she left.

I came downstairs, Sean said Ms. Parker just left she thinks RJ needs his mouth washed out with soap, bae asked me did I know that my parents were in town, I told him I did get a call from Cece, but I was in a meeting. I forgot to call her back; I asked bae how he knew they were here. He said Ms. Parker told him they took RJ and Tiff out to dinner; I said maybe that's what Cece was calling me about.

I checked my phone, she left me a message, saying they would be at the top restaurant around six if we wanted to join them, they wanted to see us, they're also in town to see Richards family.  I'll call her after we have the meeting we left, Sean said he hopes his parents aren't planning something over the top, for our wedding.

 We got there, we went into the house, Rob and Exstevan are already here, we greeted everyone, and sat down, Sean asked what's this meeting about, please tell him it's not another one of his dad's wild ideals for our wedding.

No son nothing like that, I called you guys here to tell you your uncle Sebastian is in town, he wants to see the family, Rob asked why now, he didn't even come to his own father's funeral, I told him he was there, and I tried to talk him into coming to the house, he said he wasn't ready. Sean asked why they haven't seen their uncle at all, all they know is that their gramps told them he blames himself for Robs parents' death, no one ever really told them anything else about the accident or their Uncle Sebastian.

 As you know your uncle Sebastian was my father's favorite, and James was my mother's I was the eldest, and father knew I would be the one to run the family business, he knew my younger brother Sebastian didn't care much for business. Sebastian is a lot like your gramps, fun was his middle name so to speak, dad brought him his first car, mom didn't like it, she thought the car was too fast for a sixteen-year-old.

Sebastian and dad drove all around in that car, until one day they came into the driveway, and something went wrong with the car and Robert you parents were killed that day, Sebastian blamed himself, but the brakes went out in a brand-new car. Robert said he never knew that all we told him was that his parents were killed in a car accident, I told him that is what happened, his grandfather didn't want him to know how it happened in detail.

Robert said it wasn't Sebastians fault he would never blame him, I told him Sebastian always felt like he would, father sent him away to school he kept in touch with him, and saw his children, yes, you boys have other cousin's you'll meet them today.

When we found out my father died, his lawyer gave me information where to find my brother, I missed him so much, so the little time I did get to see him was a blessing, they all have stock shares in the family business. Dad left Sebastian fifty million dollars, and his children get ten when there twenty-five, like you guys, and they have five percent of the stock too.

Sean asked where my brother and his family live, I told him in Mariette, they should be here any minute, the doorbell rang, I told them I'll get it, I answered the door, Sebastian welcome home again, he said he was a bit reluctant to come, but his family thought he should, and they can meet the rest of their family. I told him it's alright I'm just glad he's home, he said but will Robert feel the same way, I told him I told him everything about the accident he doesn't blame him. I welcomed his family, and we walked into the living room, Sasha stood up and asked what they are doing here, I said this is my brother Sebastian, well that's his middle name brother goes by Robert now. I asked Sasha how he knows him, Sebastian said Sasha is his stepson.

I don't understand Robert your last name is Wright, he said that's his mom's maiden name, after what happened he didn't feel worthy of the Delaney name, so his dad told him to use her name. RJ said that's why they came down here last week to visit their gramps grave, he would come up and see them, I asked why they didn't say anything, Tiff said it never came up, and at the time they didn't know I was dating Sean. And when they did meet him, they didn't know he was there cousin.

 Wow my soon to be husband is my sibling's cousin, okay so, Robert is my man's uncle and my stepdad, so now he'll be my uncle, mama D said let's just say we're all family, so it won't get confusing. We spent the evening talking, Robert told us things only he and his father knew, Rob was named after his uncle he and his brother James were very close. Robs name is really James Robert he never wanted to be called James sense that reminded him of his dad.

Damn it's a small world, Rob talked to his uncle, and they even hugged, Cece came up to us and said it looks like another wedding for me, be happy. Sean said he thinks I should tell her about him, bae walked away, I took Cece outside and told her about Sean being HIV positive undetectable, which I didn't have to tell her. Cece said no I didn't, but she's glad I did, but gran already told her, she told me just take care of Sean and continue to love him, she didn't raise me, but she likes the man that I became, thanks to gran and papa Charles. She hugged me, and said her son is getting married again, I'm lucky most people don't find that one true love, and I've found two.

 I told her thanks, have they talked to gran, she said this morning she should be back from her trip tomorrow they're staying at her house, RJ came where we were standing and said he can't wait until he's twenty-five he'll have ten million dollars, to do with whatever he wants, Cece told him until he does, he has to finish college that's part of him getting his inheritance, his gramps knew he was like him.

 All I know is my family is Seans family not just through marriage but blood.
