Chapter 13 New beginnings
" Dan, Serena, Erik, Jenny, you all had a brother," I said. We had all gathered the kids to tell them. They needed to know if they would ever be a real family. Rufus had told Allison on the phone before. She seemed shocked, but he didn't really feel like he owed her anything, he had told me earlier. He just felt that he was the mother of two of his kids and that she would need to find out.
" Wait does this mean you're pregnant?" Erik asked.
" No, it means I had a son many years ago with Rufus whom I gave up for adoption," I explained hesitantly.
" She didn't tell me about it until now and when we went looking for our son we found out that he died," Rufus tried to explain.
" Wow this is a lot to take in all at once," Dan stated.
" Yeah, let's go Dan. I'm sorry Mom I just need to sort things out," Serena said.
" Yes that's fine," Rufus and I said at the exact same time. I couldn't help but laugh. We truly were soul mates, made for each other.
After Dan and Serena left only Erik and Jenny were left to deal with.
" Wow," was the only thing Jenny could say.
She and Erik left a few minutes later to find Dan and Serena. They all needed each other right now, just like I needed Rufus, always.
" That actually went better than I thought," I said.
" Yes things can finally be perfect now," Rufus said before kissing me, we did have the loft to ourselves.
