When lisa woke up the next morning she rolled over to find phil sleeping next to hear and she just couldn't stop smiling. She reached out her hand and caressed his cheek. When that didn't wake him up she softly moved over and kissed his cheek then moved to his neck.
"Hmmm I like this wake up call."
"I knew you would. What time did you get in."
"I think it was 5 am when I got here."
"Oh baby why don't you go back to sleep I've got some work to do anyway."
"You don't mind."
"Of course not."
"Good can you wake me in a few hours."
"Yes I will."
She kissed him softly and watched him drift off to sleep.
A few days later Lisa and Phil had been going now stop with media and appearances when lisa was finally able to get a break she called Chaleen to check up on natty.
"Hello."
"Hey Cha."
"Hey lisa how's Miami."
"Crazy. Phil and I haven't had a moment alone since we both got here. Thank god we have a day off tomorrow. How's natty I miss her."
"She's fine, she's in the living room playing with foster. Natty honey here it's mommy."
"Hi mommy."
"Oh hi baby."
"Guess what mommy."
"What.?"
"I taught foster how to roll over."
"That's awesome honey."
Lisa didn't even hear phil come in the room but when she saw him she motioned for him to come over.
It's natty.
She said motioning to the phone.
"Hey baby hold on someone wants to say hi."
Lisa handed the phone to phil.
"Hi princess."
"Hi phillip. I miss you."
"I miss you to baby. Are you having fun with aunt cha."
"Yes. I taught foster how to roll over."
"Wow I bet you were a good teacher."
Phil put the phone on speaker.
"Mommy when are you and Phillip coming home."
"Soon sweetie. Ok baby we have to go we miss you and we love you."
"Love you princess."
"Bye mommy bye phillip I miss you and I love you I'll see ya soon."
After lisa hung up she walked over to the couch and sighed.
"I miss her so much."
"I do to baby but just 2 more days."
"Yeah 2 more day then we go back to Chicago get natty and go back out on the road."
"Yep I can't wait for my family to be back together."
Lisa turned and looked at phil.
"Family you think of me and natty as your family."
"I do. I even showed a picture of you me and natty and told the guy that natty was our daughter."
This brought a tear to lisa's eye.
"Oh honey I didn't mean to make you cry."
"These are happy tears I've dreamed so long to have a family for her and I have one. Between the guys and girls in back, your sisters, your mom and you I finally feel like I have a real family."
"You do have a real family."
Phil put his arms around lisa.
"So what picture did you show them."
He reached in his wallet and showed lisa the picture. It was from the day in the park when lisa first met Chaleen she remember sitting on the ground with phil and natty and natty was holding foster, Chaleen yelled for them to look up and she snapped the picture.
"Oh wow I remember this. We do look like a little family don't we."
"Yeah we do."
Lisa and phil just sat there and held each other. Lisa was so happy that phil called them a family but she just couldn't shake this uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach she could feel something about to destroy her happy life.
