As Lory sat across from Maria, he didn't know what to think or feel. He had to sort through his thoughts and feeling first before he gave Maria an answer. Happiness was the first thing he felt when he learned of Maria's thoughts and plans. It would seem Maria finally moved on which was good. He had been slightly worried since the partly but now his worries were put to rest. The next emotion he felt was unease, not just for Maria but for Kyoko, Ren, and his own son. If by some miracle Kyoko and his son did get married Ren would be heartbroken, especially since it was the first time he had really fallen in love. But if Ren decided he would move on form the past and acted on his feelings for Kyoko, hen Maria would be crushed, not only because she wanted Kyoko as her new mother but also because she had a crush on Ren. Perhaps he wouldn't help either side and just watch from the sidelines which was always more fun. Still he would think on it tonight and let Maria know the following morning. It would do to upset Maria just yet; knowing his granddaughter she would pull a disappearing act on him yet again. Seeing a small hand being waved in front of him snapped him out of his thoughts.

"So will you help me make Kyoko my new mommy?" asked a very serious Maria. Seeing Maria's serious face made him think that having her wait for an answer would be a good idea for the time being.

"I will let you know in the morning and don't you think that it's about time to go to go check to see if your father has written back to you."

"Oh no! I'm late! I hope daddy hasn't written yet," said a panicked Maria. "I have to go and expect an answer tomorrow grandfather."

"Very well. You'll have an answer tomorrow. I just need time to think. Good-night, Maria," said a very tired Lory.


FOR THOSE WHO WERE DISSAPOINTED IN THIS CHAPTER. I PROMISE TO MAKE THE NEXT ONE BETTER AND I WILL UPDATE SOON.
