CHAPTER 7

hey people. Alright bye enjoy.

*Thomas*

After our visit to Herc and Laf, Alex seemed to be doing better. He stood in Pips room without sobbing. Progress.

"Hey, Thomas?"
"Yes, Love?"
"How are you?"
"I've been better. But I'll be okay eventually. And so will you."
"I know."

"Why don't we go out to eat tonight?"
He nods.

After a while of getting ready we went out to our favorite restaurant.

"Thomas... have you thought about ever. Adopting again? Not to replace him and I'm not moved on yet. It's just..." he looked down at the table.

"I know Lex. I know. I have. But, maybe we should take a second to breathe. We lost our son. I need a while... it's no small thing."

" I know love. Maybe in a year or two. When the hurt isn't as searing as it is now."

"Of course, Love."

....
After dinner, we went on to the park just walk and get some fresh air.

I had my arms around Lex as we walked. It was a nice sunset.

"I miss him, Tom." He mumbles through his jacket.

"I know. Me too."
"Do you know how his friends are doing?"
"No. But I'm sure they are still grieving like us."
"Mh.."

"How about we go home and make some hot chocolate then we can cuddle?"
"Okay. But can we maybe invite the other over for hot chocolate too?"
"Sure."

I didn't mind. Having the group around Alex made him feel better. He even smiled when they were around and is so anything to keep him smiling.

Once we got home I started on the hot chocolate while Lex invited everyone over.

*Alex*

Me- Hey. Y'all wanna come over for some hot chocolate and chill?

Herc- Ooooooo sounds kinky. I'm in.

Lafayette- Love. You're taken.

Me- ooo. Tea.

Lafayette-Alex stop instigating:(

I chuckle.

Me- aw. Okay. Fine. -.-

Lafayette- Thank you. And I apologize. Herc is always flirting.

Herc- Stop talking about me as if I wasn't here!

Me- it's okay. I understand. Herc isn't used to being in loveeeee

Herc- guys! Come onnn.

I laugh at our antics.

Me- See y'all in a bit?

Lafayette- yes.

Me- cool.

I leave it at that and relax on the couch.

*Thomas*

I hear Alex laugh throughout his texting.

I smile. Knowing for a few minutes he forgot about the pain he was feeling.

I walk over with his hot chocolate and smile even wider when I see him relaxed on the couch and smiling himself.

"I'm assuming that went well then?"
"Yes. It did. They'll be here in a bit."
"Who is coming?"
"Laf and Herc."
"And John isn't?"
"I don't know. He didn't respond."
"Oh."
