Where Dreams Come True

Chapter 6

The next morning at 11:30 a.m. I'm finished dressing and doing my bathroom activities and now I need to help Sage dress for our meeting with Anne. "Sage, time to get dressed, we're leaving the flat," I tell my son walking into his bedroom where he's playing with his dinosaurs and Flynn Rider doll.

Sage glances up at me confused. "Why papa? Where we go?"

Smiling as I squat down in front of him I answer softly, "We're going to meet at a cafe for lunch."

Sage squeals placing his toys on the floor before hopping up onto his feet. "Okay papa!" he says going over to his closet for a shirt.

Chuckeling to myself as I stand to help him find a purple long sleeve pull over shirt. Handing Sage his shirt as we head to his dresser to find socks, a pants and underwear. Sage might be only 3 years old but he's doing very well potty training. Before we leave I'll pack an extra set of clothes for him in his backpack for while we're gone. Helping him dress in his clothes, before I comb his hair into a quaff and then help him brush his teeth.

Sage bounces alongside me as we head to the front door to put our coats and shoes on. "Papa, is Benjamin be there?"

Shaking my head at him as I grab his bag off the floor. "No, I'm sorry buddy. Benjamin isn't going to be there. Remember him and his mum live in Florida not here."

Shutting and locking the door behind us as we make our way to the car, he pouts a little. Turning on the radio to the station that Sage likes, he brightens a little when a song comes on he likes.

We arrive at the cafe fifteen minutes later. Helping Sage out of the car we enter the cafe hand in hand. Looking around I don't notice Anne, since we're about ten minutes early. Finding a table that's beside the window to make it eaiser for her to see us or her through either the window or the door.

Five minutes later after ordering hot herbal tea for myself and chocolate milk for Sage, Anne arrives but not alone. When the door chimed causing Sage and I to look at the door, Anne walks in with Harry, Gemma and Benjamin, thus causing Sage to squeal and me to smile brightly.

Standing as the come close enough to hug, I engolf Anne in a huge hug, whispering to her, "I'm happy to see you."

"Nice to see you, too, Louis. Are you happy that Harry and Gemma are here?" I nod as we pull apart with a smile.

Turning my attention to Sage, noticing that him and Benjamin are hugging tightly. Then I turn my atttention toward Gemma and Harry.

"Hello Gemma, nice to see you again. Sage is happy to see Benjamin. Hello Harry, nice to see you, too." Harry and Gemma smile at each other before pulling me into a tight hug.

"Hello Louis," Gemma whispers into my ear causing me to giggle because it tickled.

"Hi Lou, nice to see you, too. You look very handsome today," Harry says as he and Gemma pull away allowing us to sit. Anne and I help Benjamin and Sage into chairs that have the boosters on the top.

"It's nice to see all of you," I tell them all honestly just before the waitress arrives to take their drink orders and refil my hot tea water and Sage's chocolate milk.

Once the waitress leaves, Harry turns to me with a smile. "It's nice to see you again, Louis." Smiling at him with a wide smile as Sage turns the exact same smile onto Benjamin and Gemma while the three of them were talking.

"So, how long are you, Gemma and Benjamin here in London?" I ask Harry softly.

Harry's face flushes beat red as he scratches the back of his neck. "Um, the three of us are moving back permenitly in a month. We've decided we want to be around mum and Robin. Well that's and you and Sage, Benjamin has been sad these last few months not being able to see his best mate in person."
