We Only See Each Other At Weddings And Funerals

Alba's POV-
March 24th 2019. 9:30 am

I look up at the place I called home once upon a time and sigh. 'You're here for your father and Shiloh.' I think before looking back at Shiloh.

Shiloh was clad in a long sleeve black dress, white thermal tights, green rain boots and a green coat. Her hair was in braids with green bows. "Mummy are we going in yet?"

"Yes Shi." I say and step out of the cherry red 1983 charger that I drove. My black converse hit the wet cement of the alley I parked in. I had on a black long sleeve shirt, black ripped skinny jeans, and a lilac coat. My hair was in my natural crazy curls.

I get her out and hand her one of her bags and her backpack before grabbing her suit case, my suit case, my duffle bag, and my backpack. I lead her into the front door and smile looking around.

Shiloh squeals and runs to the stairs quickly "mummy! Do you think grandpa kept my room?"

I nod "I think we need to find that out ourselves. But first lets find grunkle pogo or granny grace." I say and she nods taking off upstairs as little flowers fall from the ceiling. I laugh softly and follow the small girl.

As I'm reaching the top I hear a squeal and giggles. "Shiloh?" I look and she her being held by a tall light skinned female with blonde curls "Allison!"

My sister turns and grins "Alba!" She was holding Shiloh upside down and had paused mid tickle "i caught this little monster! Should i let her free or does she deserve more tickles?"

Shiloh squeals louder and shakes her head "no tickles! Mummy! Save me!"

I laugh "I think that's enough. She had a big breakfast this morning and I don't want her puking." I say and walk over taking the panting ginger child. I set her on the ground and hug Allison "how are you? How's Claire?"

Allison hugs back "I could be better. Claire is with Patrick in LA."

I nod "right. I got a call from him not long ago. He was asking if I knew of any allergies." I say softly

Allison nods "yea. I haven't seen her in a while but I'm hoping he'll calm down some."

I sigh "me too." I look at Shiloh who is looking at the floor

"Well I'll let you two go. I'm gonna wait for Vanya" Allison says smiling and kisses my cheek and Shi's head before heading downstairs.

"Why was she wearing blue?" Shiloh asks hiding a smile

"Shh she might hear you silly" i say and walk to my old room.

"Mummy? Do you think we'll see uncle Diego?" Shiloh asks with a giggle in her voice from behind me.

"I don't know baby girl. Most likely" i answer not looking at her

"Do you wanna see him?" Is the next question

"Yes." I answer simply

"Well that's good." I hear the voice of Diego and whip around to see him holding Shiloh on his hip "i wanted to see you too"
