Heart to Heart

Chapter 8

Shailene POV

A beautiful lady with brunette hair wearing an apron with a nude sweater and a pair of jeans underneath stands before us.

"Ah! You must be Shailene!" She takes my hand and pull it, then takes me to her embrace. "You're so beautiful!"

Her voice is very british, it reminds me of Theo. She eventually pulls back and look at my face, "Oh yes, Theo, you are right. Just like what you described! Beautiful."

I flushed, can this be more embarassing? "Wow, thank you? You must be Jane, Theo's mother?"

"Yes darling, that I am." She smiles to me. Oh she's beautiful, I can see a little bit of Theo in her.

Theo coughs lightly from behind, "I'm here, mom."

"Oh baby! My baby!" She let go of me, and walk towards his son. She circle her arms to hug Theo. I can see Theo's face lighten up by her embrace. "I miss you, Son!"

"I miss you too mom. Where's everybody?"

"Well your brothers and sister are inside. Your father is not here, his working outside of town. He sent me messages to tell you."

"Oh. Okay."

"Come on you two, let get you inside, it's freezing out here."

I walk inside the house. It's very similar to Theo's house. It's just a bit bigger and the walls are gray. Jane took off my coat and put it on the hanger beside the door. She takes my hand and pull me towards the living room. I glance to Theo, he's smirking behind me, with both of his hand in his pocket.

When we reach the living room, two big men standing in front of us, one is taller than the other. The taller one offer his hand to me, "Hello, you must be Shailene. I'm Jack, and this is Dan, we're Theo's brother." Oh!

"Hi, yes, call me Shai. It's nice to meet you." I take his hand and shake it, and do the same gesture to Dan. After I shake their hands, they both attacks Theo, and they're all hugging and laughing.

"Hey, little baby!! Long time no see you, buddy!" Jack teases his little brother.

"Whatever, it's nice to see you too, guys." Theo mutters.

This is a rare view of Theo hanging around with his family. Suddenly I hear someone coming from upstairs, and also the sound of a giggling little boy.

A beautiful lady comes into view, with one hand clutching on a handsome little boy. "You must be Shai, I've heard a lot about you. I'm Kate by the way."

I take her hands and shake it, "Yes, it's nice to meet you."

Suddenly, the little boy jumps to Theo, and Theo easily lift him up and put him in his arms againts his chest. "UNCLE THEO!!!" The little boy screams, throwing his arms around Theo's neck.

Theo laughs seeing his nephew outbursts. "Hey buddy, how are you? Wow you're getting bigger by the day. Your mom must fed you a lot, huh?"

Kate slap Theo's upper arm, and we all started to laugh. "You haven't change a bit, haven't you Theo?"

"Nope!" And we all laugh again, turninh his head back to the little boy in his hands, "have you met my friend, buddy?"

"Oh? Hi!" He greets me, "I'm Ted, are you my uncle's girlfriend?"

And we all started to laugh again, oh he's so cute! "No buddy, I'm his friend. I'm Shai!" And I can see from the corner of my eye, Theo smirking.

"Hello, Shai." He tested my name. Then he shrug off from Theo and stand on his own feet. "Are you sure you're not my uncle's girlfriend, Shai?"
