I know I haven't updated forever and with school I have little or no time. Well, why do I keep saying that! Here's chapter eleven.
Ch 11
Anita knelt down by the tree under which Lady Sullivan was buried and said her goodbyes. William gently placed a hand on her shoulder and led her back inside.
" Lillian, are you ready?" Anita asked.
Lillian gave a short nod.
" Come let's get you t your new home." Anita said. She gently took Joseph from the maid's arm and thanked her.
" Good bye miss, good luck." The maid said tearfully.
Lillian raced up to her and gave her one last hug before she left.
" I won't forget you." Lillian whispered to the middle- aged woman.
" Your going to be a wonderful lady when you grow up." The maid whispered to her.
Anita smiled as William led them out of the room.
" Uncle Will? Is your house big?" Lillian asked him.
" I think so, you'll have plenty of room to play and live." He smiled.
" I miss, mama, and Papa." She said softly.
He stopped and knelt down to her level.
" I know how hard it is to lose someone you care about so much, but they're in a better place where they are watching over you with your aunt." He said.
" Can I see them?" She asked.
" No, not really but if you use your imagination," He said.
She closed her eyes and then she began to describe them.
" They look happy, and they are waving to us." She said.
William smiled and then picked her up. Anita was holding a sleeping Joseph as the small family walked down the hall to the front door.
A year later.
Lillian ran happily on the lawn with her new friend, Lauren, or Laurie for short. She was the daughter of Ebony's tutor.
" Lillian, Laurie, it's time for dinner!" Anita called.
She held one of the two twin girls she gave birth to earlier that year. Both had their mother's bright red hair and their father's blue eyes.
" Ana, can we watch Becca and Beth?" Lillian asked.
" Not right now Ebony is over so we'll be watching them." Anita said gently herding them towards the kitchen.
Joseph and Ebony's son, Peter ran through the house not waiting for anyone the boys were heading for the door when James and William scooped them up.
" And where do you think you're going?" William asked Joseph.
" Out." Joseph said. His vocabulary had expanded greatly over the year.
" Yes I'm sure." William said setting him down inside.
" How are the twins?" William asked picking up Becca first and kissing her cheek.
" Don't forget about the other one?" Anita warned.
Beth was fussy and complained if her father didn't give her equal attention.
" How could I forget." He smiled handing Becca to her mother.
" Time for dinner!" Anita said as the friends and family headed towards the dining room.
