A LITTLE HOPE

Ready for the hospital bed, Alexandra stood by Goren's bedside, who grumbled about the sick man.

Alexandra was not happy, but not at all.

- I'm telling you to take your medicine!

He was grumbling.

His little tyrant had indeed returned.

But he had to admit he loved it, when she was like that with him.

She always treated him like a child!

But her last days, she had been so fragile, like a little girl that he wanted to protect her even more!

- Alex is right, Uncle Bobby!

And There you go !

The Alexandra / Molly duo were back, and he knew he never won the game against them.

Logan and Barek had just entered the bedroom, bursting into laughter at the scene unfolding before their eyes.

- Ah Bobby, you're trapped again!

Logan laughed harder.

Molly rushed into Logan's arms, who greeted her there.

The glare that Bobby gave Molly and Logan.

- I would ask you to keep your distance from my niece! He glared at Logan. Vil flirtatious!

Alex put his hand on Bobby's shoulder, who rested his hand on his.

Ah Bobby and his overprotection towards Molly.

That's what made her love him too.

Molly jumped from Logan's arms, to run over to Caroline and sit next to her.

- Caro ...

Molly whispered a few words in the ear of the young woman, who nodded.

What were these two up to?

Goren frowned.

Molly walked over to Alexandra, who helped her onto the bed, settling between the two.

She kissed Alex on the cheek, then on Bobby's.

- Alex ... Molly hesitated, but at Alexandra's encouraging smile she dared to say what she wanted to say. Then I called you mom?

In his words, Alexandra had all the trouble in the world not to cry, it was so hot in her heart.

She put an arm behind Molly's back, hugging her, kissing her ebony curls.

- Yes, that would make me happy!

How Alex loved this child.

When she looked at her by her face, her gestures, her words, she saw Bobby.

Molly was smiling. Her smile lighting up her face.

Goren smiled tenderly at this tender sight.

- Uncle Bobby?

- Yes...

He was all ears, looking at her with so much affection.

- Can I call you daddy too?

Goren felt his heart melt at the request. Of course she could, he wanted it badly. She was like her little girl.

Ever since she had come into his life, she had brightened up his days. And with Alexandra, they were like family.

Family he never thought he had the right to have.

Bobby looked at Alexandra who gave him a big smile, nodding.

- What would you say if we adopted you?

The little girl was so happy that she jumped into her uncle's arms, forgetting that he was hurt.

He winced in pain.

He hugged her tenderly.

Alex stroked the little girl's brown curls.

- Yes, it might be time!

Alex looked fondly at the two people she loved the most in the world.

They were finally going to be a real family, all three.

And maybe four ...

Alex and Bobby had talked about adopting Molly a little before their wedding. But given what happened, nothing could have been organized.

They had wanted to surprise Molly, but it was all gone.

But today, they were finally going to have the life they wanted.

Alexandra kissed Bobby on the forehead, who blushed.

He still struggled with showing affection in public.

- Thank you for everything you give me!

She thanked him, when it was she who had always been there for him, even when he was in it!

How had he not realized, that he cared about her so much.

He had been blind all his years.

But this fear of rejection, this lack of self-confidence, had a big impact.

And thanks to her, he had stood up and had a glimpse of a happy future.

God he loved his little detective Alexandra Eames!
