Hey sorry that I haven't written in forever. Hope you like the update, please leave me a review:)

It had been a week since Lucy and the kids moved in with Kevin. There were two bedrooms in the apartment. Kevin had the small one. Lucy had the big one. The kids shared the bed, and she took the blow up mattress on the floor. Just two days before Lucy had fortunately found a new job. Also a job in the mall, she now worked at a clothing store and her pay and hours were slightly better.

Annie was watching Dylan and Maddy one afternoon while Lucy was working. Annie scooped her freshly baked chocolate chip cookies onto a rack to cool. Dylan sat beside her smelling the cookies.

"Grandma," Dylan started, in an uneasy voice, not sure if he should mention anything.

"Yes hun?" Annie answered.

" I saw Mommy and Kevin kissing last night in the living room."

Annie looked up from the cookies and just stared at Dylan for a few seconds, not sure what to say, as the information registered in her brain.

" Do you think she loves him?" Dylan then questioned.

" Well...uhm, " Annie started, trying to stall as she thought of an answer. " Sometimes when people kiss it means they love each other, but sometimes it means they just really like each other," Annie finished, unsatisfied with her answer, but wasn't sure what else to say.

" So do you think that Mommy and Kevin love each other?" Dylan repeated.

" I'm not sure. You will have to ask your mom that," Annie said, yet again not happy with the unthought out answers she was giving her grandson.

Dylan sighed as he attempted to pick up a scolding cookie.

That night Lucy and Kevin were watching a movie with Dylan and Maddy before they went to bed. Maddy was already asleep, about to fall off of the couch, clutching her teddy bear to her stomach. Lucy got up and carried Maddy into the bedroom and tucked her in. When she returned, Dylan turned on the couch to face her and Kevin.

" We need talk," Dylan said, in a serious voice.

" Ok," Lucy said, smiling at her son's adultness.

" I saw you two kissing last night," Dylan said sternly.

" Oh," Lucy said, struggling for something to say.

It sounded like Kevin was about to say something, then decided not to.

" Are you guys in love?" Dylan continued.

There was a long silence, when finally Kevin spoke.

" I am," Kevin said, a smile on his face. He was talking more to Lucy now, than to Dylan.

Lucy and Kevin had never exchanged "I love you's" yet.

Lucy heart skipped a beat as she stared at Kevin, a bit in shock.

" Really?" Lucy said, in disbelief. Things were happening a little quick.

" Really," Kevin answered back.

" Luce, I love you. We have some kind of connection that I can't shake off. My feelings have grown for you a lot in these past few months, and I'm happy about everything that's been going on."

Lucy just stared into Kevin's eyes, a smile creeping onto her face.

" I love you too," Lucy replied, barely above a whisper, almost as if she was holding back tears.
