The Holiday.

Transition

Flynn POV

I stand outside for a moment and take a deep breath.

The minute I put the key in the door, Larry pulls it open.

"Bébé, you made it ... how your flight?"

Fine.

"Give me your bags, wow it's been too long!"

I know. Are you OK? Still.

"Come, give me love Bébé. Mmm I missed you so much."

He hugs me tight and kisses my neck.

Larry OK OK I missed you too ... stop. I know Devin called.

"Yeah, he did."

He lets me go.

I close the door, and follow him down the hall.

Larry sighs and sits down on the couch. He pats his lap. I smile, toss my bag, sit on the rug and put my chin on his knee.

"Bébé, why you on floor?"

You know I like to sit this way ... when we talk serious.

"Yes, this is a serious talk. How long you think?"

I, um ... What did he say to you?

"Well, he mainly tell me Daniel his son. You his wife and he not let go easy. He love you."

Whatever.

"Bébé he say by law, Daniel his son ... he adopt him legal."

It's contestable ... We can deal with paperwork later, Um but Larry, we need at least another year for Daniel.

"Flynn, you no have to explain. We do what best for him, I not cause problems for my son. I agree he need be with family he know. He too young for this change Bébé, I sacrifice everything before I hurt my child, our child. I love you, but for Daniel sake. I wait."

You are amazing.

"I just do what right, that all. You know your Ex seem surprised, I agree. Like he looking for a fight."

Oh, I'm sure he was. I'm glad you didn't give him one. I knew his punk ass would try to cause a rift. Calling you while I was in the air. Asshole.

"He will get a fight, for you. I not giving you up Flynn. I love you, and I tell him so. He not like that and hang up."

You're already calling him my Ex husband.

"He is. I know you mine Bébé."

I get up and sit next to him. He touches my cheek.

Larry, we are still staying at the house ... together.

"I know."

I'm sorry ...

"I tell you I can wait. I go nowhere."

I know he will.

But I'm sure Devin won't make it easy.

Devin POV

10 months later

"Daddy!"

Hey Daniel, how was it?

"Dr. G. so nice, we painted and made wax figures today. She's a cool lady."

That she is. I'm so glad you like her. You feel alright, I mean with everything?

"Yesss, I know you and Mommy love me. BlahBlahBlah."
