Ok guys heres the next chapter but please remember to review. I only got 2 reviews for the next chapter so that was kinda stink. Even if you don't like it review and tell me what you didn't like. That would be really helpful. Enjoy!
The plane touched down in New York airport at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Morgan Tiredly stumbled off the plane, one hand holding Max's and one hand carrying her carry on bag. They went through customs rather slowly and collected their bags from the conveyor belt and headed towards the exit. Max was excited, barely staying still for a few seconds at a time, whereas Morgan was nervous and watchful. She glanced around quickly before hailing a cab and jumping in just before it began to rain.
It had been hard saying goodbye to Jessica and Makayla. Morgan could tell that she wasn't going to be back here for a while but hoped she would go back there eventually. She had got time off from her work and they had packed their bags and left the next mourning. Jessica and driven them to the airport and mad them promise to call her when they where safe.
"Where are we going Mum?" asked Max curiously. Her English accent stood out a mile in America but Morgan's accent blended in. It was the complete opposite in England.
"There's someone I want you to meet that lives here before we go any further." Said Morgan but she didn't go into details. She directed the cab to a neighbour filled with condos and apartments, all of them worth more than what Morgan would earn in five years.
The cab pulled up next to a quite modest set of condos and they got out. Together, holding hands, they walked up to the door and pressed the buzzer for apartment 3C.
About ten seconds later a crackly voice came through the little speaker next to the keypad.
"Hello. How may I help you." The voice was feminine and proper. Morgan pressed the intercom and answered.
"I was looking for Mary Kathleen Rowlands. Do you know where I could find her?"
Max's eyes widened at the sound of her last name. Was this woman related to her?
"This is she. Do I know you?" Asked Mary K., not yet knowing that it was her long lost sister at the door.
"Ummm Hey sis hows it going?" Morgan asked uncertainly. There was a pause then the woman answered back hesitantly.
"Morgan. Is that you?"
"The one and only."
There was an odd buzzing noise and the door popped open. Morgan and Max entered and stepped into the elevator to go to the third floor. Max looked up at her nervous Mother.
"Who is she Mum." Asked Max, no longer able to contain her curiosity. Before Morgan could answer the elevator doors opened and a woman was standing there waiting. She was wearing a dark blue dress suit including a tube skirt and fitted suit top with a white blouse underneath and stockings without shoes. She looked a bit rumpled, like she had been relaxing and had suddenly rushed to meet someone. Her smooth brown hair was falling out of the loose bun it was in and a single strand fell over her eyes. She looked excited and shocked at Morgan as if making sure it was real and not a dream.
"Morgan"
Then Morgan pulled Mary K. into a big hug and both women were sobbing uncontrollably. Max stood at the side watching them. This woman and her mother looked nothing alike but then she remembered her mothers comment about being adopted and figured it out. These women were related by everything but blood.
"I missed you so much." Whispered Mary K. as they held each other. Eventually they let go of each other and Morgan turned to Max.
"Max, I want you to meet your Aunty Mary K."
"Hello" said Max shyly. Mary K. smiled and pulled her into a hug.
"It's nice to finally meet you Max. That's a very pretty name you know."
"Not always" said Max. There's a mean girl at school who teases me coz she thinks it's a boys name but her names Lucrisha so I don't think she can talk."
Mary K. giggled. "That is very true and what does Max stand for?" The answer came from not Max but Morgan.
"Maximum. Because she is the Maximum I could have asked for. She is everything I could want plus more."
Max hugged her Mother lovingly.
"Well let's go to my apartment so we can catch up." Said Mary K. and together they walked down the hall.
"So you went travelling then settled in England and have been there ever since." Said Mary K.
"In a nut shell" replied Morgan. They both watched as Max ate her chocolate biscuits and drank her hot chocolate. Mary K. put down her cup of coffee and gazed at Morgan intently.
"So what are you going to do now? I hope your going to go see Mom and Dad. They really miss you." Morgan looked back at Mary K.
"Of course I'm going to see them. That's the whole point of this trip. To see them and you and probably Bree and Robbie as well."
"And there's someone else your going to see isn't there," said Mary K. looking at Max.
"No" said Morgan stonily. "There's no one else for me to see." They fell silent for a bit before Mary K. broke it.
"He still lives in Widows Vale you know."
"I don't care."
"Yeah right."
They fell silent and again Mary K. broke it.
"I work with Robbie now you know."
"Really." said Morgan relieved to be off the topic of a certain someone. "What is it that you do exactly? I never asked."
"I'm a lawyer. I work for a big company called Garrett, Lynch and Harness Ltd. Me and Robbie often have to work together on a big case."
"Well Miss big shot lawyer. Are there any men in the picture?"
"No. I don't really have the time with my job and that. What about you? Anyone waiting for you back in England?"
"No. I don't have time either."
The sisters continued to catch up until it was almost dinnertime.
"Well me and this little angel better go find a Motel for the night." Said Morgan.
"Nonsense. You can stay with me. I've got plenty of room and it won't cost you a thing. Then in the morning you can go on to Widows Vale." Said Mary K. satisfied that she had laid down a good argument.
"Well," said Morgan hesitantly, "Only if you're sure."
"Oh of course I am. I can take you out for dinner. I know this cool place in Manhattan. My treat."
"Well, ok."
Wow that was a hard chapter to write. I hope i didn't epically fail at it. Again if you can review it would be really helpful. Right I gotta go wake my parents who have both fallen asleep on the couch in front of the TV so I can go watch a movie. This is the honourable delegate for Antigua and Barbuda saying PEACE!
