LOVE IS THERE (BOOK #3 OF THE GILBERT FAMILY)

Leigh Ann's Pov

I was in the living room going through some of Tyler's old clothes. I still can't believe my big boy is now 5 years old. Every time I look at Tyler all I can see is my son Benny in him. Tyler is a spiting image of his father. In a way I would never gust at the age of 47 I would be raising my grandson, but Brantley and I love having him with us. Billy and Sophie are the proud parents of 3 daughter now. Angeletta Faith is now 10 and the twins Ariel Mae and Addison Lynn are 4. Sophie and Billy are going with the "A" names. Every one is doing great. Brennan is now 17 and a Jr in High School and Lila is in the 8th grade and really a smart kid. We haven't heard from Benny in a little over a mouth now. Every mouth we get a cheek for $1,300 for Tyler and a letter, but not this mouth we got nothing.

 I got up and walked into the kitchen and was looking outside. Tyler, Brantley and Brennan was working on the old dirt bike Brennan has. I do wish he would just throw it away. I hate that damn thing. It was a nice beautiful day in July. I got all the boys something to drink and walked outside. Brantley, Brennan and Tyler all had there shirts off. My sexy hubby might be 51 and he might lost some of his old shape, but I still think he is sexy. Brennan is tall, he's 6'2 and only 17. All of the boys are tall in our family and Lila and I are the shortest ones. I'm only 5'0 and Lila is only 4'7 I think. Lila is over at a friends house playing? Billy is picking her up when he gets off of work from the factory.  Tyler looked so happy helping his pop and uncle, but I do wish Benny was here to see all of this? I know he's trying to help over there, but I do wish he will come home. 

" How's it going boys?" I asked them? They been out here for the last 3 hours looking at this damn thing and so far nothing?

" Slow right boys?" My sexy hubby told me. Yeah I can see that?

" Well, I got some tea for you all. So come and take a brake?" I told them, walking over to the picnic table that Brantley and Tyler built me a year ago for my birthday. That was a great day all of the kids and the grand kids was here. But my baby Benny was not. That would have been better if my baby was with us that day.  

" Mama, I need to get this done?" Brennan told me. 

" Sweetie if you have a date you can use my car? I mean most parents wouldn't let there daughter's on one of them?" I told him. I know I wouldn't let Lila touch one of them. 

" Mama, I don't have a date? Some of the guys and I are racing this weekend and I need it to get fix? Sooner then later?" Brennan told me. I hate it, that he race's on that damn bike. 

" We will get it fix son. Don't worry about it?" Brantley told his son. 

" Yeah I hope so." Brennan said walking into the house? I looked over at Tyler who was covered in mud, dirt and some grease on him from helping his pop and uncle out. 

" You will need a bath tonight young man?" I told him. Tyler giggled at me. Oh, I love this kid. 

" Yep. I'm going to see my other grandpa today?" Tyler told us. He see's John on Saturday and spends the nights with him. John takes good care of Tyler. 

" Yes you are? What are you and grandpa going to do tonight?" Brantley asked him. 

" I don't know Pop, I'm not with him yet?" Tyler said. 

" Do you have your bag packed?" I asked him. 

" Yes I do flower?" Tyler told me. Ever since we all watched Bambi he calls me Flower, so I call him Thumper.

" Okay Thumper, go in and take off your clothes and get ready for a bath, I'll be right in there?" I told him. 

" Yes Nana." Tyler said running back to the house. I looked over to Brantley who was thinking to much on this damn bike. 

" Honey are you okay?" I asked him.  Brantley looked at me. 

" What baby?" Brantley asked me. 

" Are you okay?" I asked him. 

" Yeah, I'm fine. I just don't know why this wont keep running?" Brantley told me. I got up and kissed his lips. 

" What ever the problem is I know you can fix it? I better go and see what Tyler is doing?" I told Brantley. 

" Okay baby? Thanks for the tea and I love you." Brantley told me. 

" Love you too baby?" I told him, walking back to the house. When I walked into the house I found Tyler sitting on the floor watching TV in his super man undies. I remember when Brennan used to do the same thing on the weekend's when we was this young? I walked over to him. 

" Honey you need to get in the tube. Grandpa John will be waiting for you?" I told my grandson.

" Okay nana." Tyler said running to the bath room. I was about to walking up there to, when the door opened up an Lila ran into the house crying?    

" Honey, what's wrong?" I asked her. 

" Billy. He's a jerk mom." Lila told me. Right then Billy walked in. 

" Mama, I had to?" Billy told me. I looked over at him. 

" What did you do?" I asked him. Lila ran to her room. 

" I went to go an get her, when I saw she was about to kiss Hilary's brother Kyle." Billy told me. I looked at him. 

"What did you do young man?" I asked him. 

" I told her don't even think about it and made her get into my truck." Billy told me. I looked at him. 

" Okay. Thanks honey for taking care of all of this?" I told him. 

" Please tell Lila I'm sorry if I crossed the line." Billy said walking out of the house. 

I walked up to Lila's room and she was laying on the bed writing in her diary. I knocked on her door and see looked at me and smiled. 

" Honey, are you okay? Do you want to talk about it?" I asked her. 

" No. I'm not mad at Billy. I'm just embarrassed that he saw me." Lila told me. 

" Honey you are only 14 years old, you have your whole life to be with a boy? Okay." I told her. I see me and her will have to have another mother/daughter day and talk.

" Okay mama. Thanks." Lila told me. 

" You are welcome." I said walking out of her bed room and going to see how Tyler is doing? When I got there he was in the tube playing, so I got him all cleaned and put some clothes on him and walked back to the living room. 

" Stay here, I'm going to tell Pop that we are leaving?" I told Tyler. 

" Okay Nana." Tyler told me. I walked outside and told Brantley and Brennan that Tyler and I are leaving?  When I got back to the house there was a knock on the door. When I opened it I almost had a heart attack.
