Questions Answered

Melody entered into Rhian's bathroom, sat on a small stool and began to shampoo her daughter's hair.

"The nerve of him." Melody smiled and kept massaging her daughter's scalp. "I can't believe him. When did he become so bossy?"

"He's been that way as long as I've known him."

"No way, mom. He's always so quiet."

"It's the quiet ones you have to watch out for."

Rhian finished cleansing herself as her mom conditioned and rinsed her daughter's hair. "Here." she handed Rhian a towel to wrap around herself. They both exited the bathroom and Melody went in search for pajamas through two duffle bags. She pulled them out along with lotion and a bottle of hair moisturizer. Once Rhian lotioned her skin and dressed her mom began combing her hair then added a white cream throughout her hair.

"You know you don't have to do this, I'm no longer a child."

"I know and you'll always be my child. I remember you used to like me combing your hair when you were small. Have you gotten too old for your mom to do simple things for you?"

"No, not at all mom. I just don't want to stress you out."

"You've never stressed me out. Now, on the other hand, those two sister's of yours are a different story."

Rhian giggled until she started to shed tears. "Mom..."

"Come on let's lie down. Your sisters will be here any day now."

"About dad.."

"We'll talk about it in the morning, okay?"

Rhian nodded and snuggled next to her mom. Melody had always been her rock, always on her side even though she never voiced it. She never interfered between her and Trevor when they were young, she'd just watch, standby like mothers did. Since there was no danger present she allowed she and Trevor in close quarters with each other. Although Melody didn't always agree with Brian, she understood that he was just looking out for his daughter.

Minutes later Rhian was fast asleep and then came a light tap at the door. Melody carefully climbed out of bed as not to disturb her daughter. Melody opened the door and found Trevor posted against the wall.

"I can see you you're tired but I wanted to let you know I'm heading out. Everything is cleaned up as well."

"Thanks for everything." she smiled up at him.

He nodded his head and his gaze fell over to Rhian for a few seconds. "Do you want to stay with her tonight?"

He blinked and smiled and his hand went to the back of his head to rake his hair. This certainly caught him off guard.

"It's best I don't. Mr. Robeson wouldn't care much for it."

"You two are adults now. You're free to do what you want."

Trevor stared at Mrs. Robeson in wonder. She's just given him full permission to sleep in the same bed under her roof with Rhian. She never said a word before, nor opposed to he and Rhian getting together, so why now?

"So let me get this straight, you're giving me permission to date your daughter?"

"I'm giving you permission to be an adult about this. You and Rhian. You didn't really think I was blind when it came to you and my daughter did you?"

"I don't know, you never said anything."

"There was nothing to say. The choice is up to you. Now I'm going to shut this door if you're not going to stay with her."
