LENA'S POV:

Days had passed, weeks had passed, a full month had passed since Jay was taken into custody. Brandon had made huge strides and progressing well. Stef and Brandons relationship was developing. Brandon had started music classes at Anchor Beach.

Stef and I sat in the living room all comfortable watching the usual Saturday night TV, until Brandon walks in.

"Aghhhhhhhh" we heard Brandon scream louder than ever and we raced to his room with beating chests and worry.

"What, what is it?"I said catching my breath.

"Son, are you alright?" Stef said holding him tight in her arms for she didn't know what to do.

Brandon pulled back and was happier than ever, with you biggest smile we had seen since I met him.

"Your scared the shit out of me" she said playfully punching his arm , and looking into my eyes with apologetic eyes for she knows I hate cursing. "What's so good?"

"I-I, well, ... so Lena you know my senior project, well someone rang from...from Juilliard and they've provided me a- a scholarship! Aghhh, I'm going to go to Juilliard. Mom...my dreams, they're all coming true"

We could hear the excitement burst through his chest, he was happier than ever and we just hugged him tight giving him a 'mama sandwich' something I'd like to give our own children someday.

"I'm so proud of you, you hear me? You've managed to find me, to make progress, to become my son again, our son" she said taking my hand smiling at me. "Brandon, I've never been prouder, I'm glad to be your mother, unlike your shithead father who couldn't give a shit about you, I love you B, I really do"

There she was again, cursing. Taboo language had always been a no-no for me. I dislike it, but Stef makes it sound so hot. It kinda turns me on in a way. I rolled my eyes as she gritted her teeth once again realising she's swearing.

"You deserve this, when you can you start?" I asked.

"Next month! This is amazing. Wow" he said and he couldn't remain still with excitement.

This truly was great news, he was going to college, but the thing is with Juilliard, he would have to move to New York, we'd rarely see him often.

STEF'S POV:

wow. My son all grown up. College, I'm shocked. I'm so happy, and this is his dreams and I'm glad his dreams are chasing him and not him chasing his dreams.

However, I've only just got my sweet boy back, and now he's leaving me. But for a good cause this time. He was going to be the next professional pianist, I know it.

It took a while for me to get my head around, but eventually, the month had passed and it was time for him to go. It was almost impossible letting him ago again.

"Just remember. I love you and this will always be your home" I said holding him tight never wanting to let go.

"I know mom, I love you too. I'll call you and FaceTime you like everyday, you won't even know I'm gone"

He walked over to Lena hugging her.

"Thank you Lena, and I'm glad you found mom, I just wish I was home in time for the wedding"

"Me too B, we will visit, and we could pay for an aeroplane for you to fly out to us." She said holding him tight.

Watching the two of them hug, it melted my heart, I love how close they were. Brandon loved her and I could see that. She was so accepting to him and forgiving. Lena is a winner and I'm lucky to have her.

"I love you. Both of you" he said grabbing the handle to his suitcase blowing us each a kiss before leaving.

"We love you too bud" I said as tears streamed down my face.

"Call us when you land" Lena said as he started to walk out the door.

"I will, bye"

And then...the door shut, it was finally time for him to go. He was my little boy, maybe not anymore as he was 18, but he was my little boy in my eyes, still that little baby boy I held in my arms in the hospital. Everything has moved so quickly.

I burst out into tears as Lena held me tight. "He will be back in a year, for summer holidays"

"A year...is a long time" I sobbed as she held me tighter kissing me softly on the lips until tears reached our lips tasting the salty tears between us.

"He will call, I know it's not fun for you, but it's his dreams, he's happy"

She had a point. He was happy, which for that reason I need to be too. I wiped my tears and smiled as I kissed her again.

"You're right" I winked as she smiled back.

"I love you Stefanie Adams-Foster"

"I love you too Lena Adams-Foster"
