2 Months Later

Justin had been spending a lot of time with Drew and Michelle, Drew would stay over his house on weekends or Justin would stay in the guest room of Michelle's house. A week after everything Justin took them to meet Pattie and explained everything to her, she was heart broken but happy to have a grandson and she loved Michelle. Drew was so happy to have a grandma, since he didn't know anything about Michelle's parents.

Its only a month til Drew's 4th birthday and Michelle wants Justin and Pattie to be a part of it. Right now Justin was at Michelle's house and they were watching tv with Drew. He was giggling and laughing, then he went upstairs to get his toys. Michelle saw this as an opportunity to talk to Justin.

"Hey can I ask you something? It's more of a favor."

"Yeah sure what is it?"

"Well Drew's birthday is coming up, I wanna have a party for him but I'm a girl and I don't know what would a 4 year old boy want as a birthday. Can you help me plan it and of course I want you and Pattie to be there, you're family now."

Justin's heart soared when he heard her say that. "You're family now." That made his day, he loved spending time with them. He was happy that she accepted him and Pattie and he did hope one day that they would be a family. In these past few months Justin had fallen hard for Michelle, she was everything and more. She was a great cook, talented, sweet, had an adorable laugh, she loved to dance, loved the rain and loved spending time outside, she loved the little things and never wanted so much.

And Michelle she wasn't sure how she felt about Justin she liked him a friend and has been great with Drew. She loves watching him and Drew play, they look like such goof balls and it makes her smile. But at times Justin would just look at her and her heart would skip a beat. Michelle had never been serious with anyone...

"Of course I'll help out. I think it should be an outdoor party...with a bouncy house!"

"Is the bouncy house for Drew or for you?"

"Haha very funny." Justin grabbed Michelle and started tickling her. She screamed and laughed. Drew came down the stairs but they didn't notice, he smiled at them. He loved his mommy and knew that his daddy loved her too, now he just needed a way to get Mommy to see that.

"Mommy, Daddy I wanna see Grandma!"

Drew voice scared Michelle she jumped off the couch away from Justin with her face all red.

"Uhh...ok. Let's go then-"

"No I wanna go by myself. I wanna have a sleepover with Grandma."

Drew smiled and walked over to Justin holding onto his legs. He motioned Justin the come down and he whispered something in his ear. Justin smiled at Drew. "Thanks buddy. Okay then lets back your stuff and you'll see Grandma."

"Whoa wait? We didn't even talk about this. Don't you think Pattie will mind?"

"No way. My mom tries to get any chance she can with Drew, she'll be thrilled to have him. Come on buddy I'll help you pack."

"Wait Justin?" Justin turned around while Drew kept going up the stairs.

"I've never been away from Drew for more than a few hours I'm not too sure-"

Justin grabbed her hands. "He'll be fine, don't worry. My mom loves him, she'll take good care of him. How about this? While he's with my mom, I'll take you out."

Before Michelle could protest, "I'm not taking no for an answer. When's the last time you've been out, huh?" Michelle pouted in response but she nodded.
