[Chapter 27] - The truth

Aaron and I ended up going back to my house. Mary-Anne has the kids and I said I will be picking them up about now. So as I am on my way to get them Aaron asks me a question.

"Soo, this Albert guy... Are you going to call him?" I knew it would only be a matter of time when he decides to bring it up.

"I think I will. I mean I want to know what big secret they were keeping from me and they say this guy has all the info then I'll give him a call tonight and ask to meet up with him tomorrow. Do you mind looking after Charlie?" I thought answering his question.

"Well it's good that your sorting it all out and I don't mind really, he will have Jordan and Olivia to play with so I'm sure it will be all good." He replies as I turn into the road to the orphanage.

Switching the engine of I reach for the door handle when Aarons warm, soft hand grabs my wrist. I turn around and give him a questioning look.

"I'll go in and get them. Stay here, I'll be back in a minute." He pecks my lips before climbing out the car and walking into the children's home.

I sigh and relax my head back on the seat of my new car. I'm only 18 almost 19 and I have been through a lot. I have a 7 year old child who I deeply love. I practically look after his best friend who looks up to me as her mother. I have the most amazing boyfriend who I also deeply love as well as his little brother. Even though I may not have any parents I still have a family of my own who cares about me like I care for them.

I am suddenly snapped out of my thoughts when the passenger door opens and Aaron steps in. Turning around I see Charlie, Jordan and Olivia jumping happily in their seats.

"What's got all you so excited?" I laugh out turning back around in my seat.

"Well when Aaron came to get us we were playing spies so he joined in and helped us get Charlie who was the baddie and he said that we were all very good spies. Mia can we all be spies when we grow up?" Olivia got out joyfully. I smile and nod my head yes.

"I think you will all make brilliant spies." I say truthfully driving back home.

"Hello, is this Albert Austin?" I ask through the phone.

"Yes this is he. May I ask who is calling?" His voice speaks through the phone.

"It's Mia Brooks. You know we have actually met a few times but I would really appreciate if we could meet up tomorrow to talk some things out." I explained crossing my fingers in hope he would say yes.

"Ahh yes Ms.Brooks, meet me tomorrow at the café on the corner of Round Street at 1:30pm. I'm sure you remember my appearance so there is no need to tell you. But I will see you then Okay?"

"Okay. I will see you later." I end hanging up the phone. I sigh falling down onto my bed.

"Did it go okay?" I hear Aaron's husky voice asks.

Everyone is sleeping and it's about 11:30 at night. I am absolutely exhausted. I feel the bed tip down next to where I lay.

"I'm meeting him tomorrow at 1:30 to talk things out." I repeat the information Mr Austin gave me.

"Well I'm happy for you babe." He tells me laying down and wrapping his arms around me. I snuggle closer to him.

"Hmmm, goodnight." I mumble in his chest. He reaches over to turn the light out and then kisses my forehead.
