*God Loves You*
She woke up in his lap.
"Good morning love." Cal whispered, brushing her hair from her face.
"I'm... sorry I fell asleep."
"No it's fine... it gave me time to think."
"About what?"
"Everything... Em wants me to raise her kids as my own..."
"And?"
"I want to, but I'm not sure if I'm in a good state to take on such a big responsibility."
"Well... is she ready to give up such a big responsibility?"
"What?"
"Is she going to be able to pretend that she is their sister... rather than their mother?"
Cal nodded, "Good point... well... we still have five months... we have time to talk."
"Yep." Gillian whispered, "Cal...?"
"Yeah?"
"I think... we should redraw the line."
"Why? I... I thought that you wanted me to remember us and now I do... and now you want to pull us apart?"
"There is too much going on in your life right now and I don't want to add to it. I think you should just figure everything else out... before you are in a relationship with me because I know that it's going to be hard and trying to be with me won't make it any better."
"I like your presense." He whispered.
"We need to Cal."
"You need to..." He mumbled.
"Yes Cal I do, because I can't do this with you."
"Then why did you want me to figure my feelings out so much?"
"So you wouldn't be scared of me!"
He stared at her and pushed her off of his lap, "If... if that's what you want then okay." He stood up and ran a hand through his hair.

"Savannah." Emily whispered to Gabe.
"Huh?"
"That's what I want to name her."
Gabe smiled and played with one of her curls, "I like that name."
"Savannah and Steven..." Emily said, trying out the names.
"So... is your dad gonna raise them?"
"I think so... but... will I always just be a sister to them?"
"I'm sure eventually you would tell them... when they were old enough to understand..." Gabe whispered.
"But... would they come and live with me?"
"That's your choice babe."
"They will go to my wedding... how weird will that be? Guess what I am craving right now." Emily said with a small laugh.
"What?"
"Tooth paste."
"That's really weird." Gabe said, laughing.
"Ha... yeah it is."
"Mint or bubblegum?"
"Mint."
"I will be right back." Gabe jumped up and ran upstairs. "Mint it is." He gave her a tube of toothpaste and they both laughed.
.:.
"You enjoying that tooth paste?" Cal chuckled as he walked into the house.
"Yes... actually I am." Emily said happily. She followed him into the kitchen and watched as he went digging through the fridge.
"Your mum craved olives... she absoultely hates olives... it was pretty funny."
"Hmm... I like olives." She said as she jumped up onto the counter.
"Whataya want for dinner?"
"Something Italian." She said watching as her feet dangled.
"Ravioli? Spaghetti? Pizza?"
"Ravioli..." She watched as he went into the pantry and grabbed a couple cans of Chef Boyardee Ravioli, "How did it go with you and Gillian?"
"She redrew the line." He whispered as he opened a can.
"Why?"
"She doesn't think I'm ready..."
"So you figured your feelings out?"
"Yeah and then she made everything confusing again." He set the can down and leaned on the counter, "I don't get her."
Emily smiled and jumped down from the counter, "She's just complicated."
"Yeah love, I know that... why would she stop everything after it had all been figured out?"
"I think she is the scared one now." Emily guessed.
.:.
"Where will I live now?" Andrew asked Gillian.
"I don't know honey... I think Mr. Cal wants to adopt you, but things are very confusing right now." She whispered, lightly ruffling his hair.
"What exactly happened to him?"
"He hit his head." Gillian said after several minutes of thought.
"How?"
"He fell down the stairs." She lied.
"Ouch... I fell down the stairs one time and it broke my arm. That was why I was in the hospital and met Mr. Cal..." he whispered with a small nod.
"Hm... Well... You are living with him right?"
"Yeah... until he doesn't need help remembering anymore."
"How about we get you home, maybe pick up some ice cream on the way?"
"Alright!" Andrew said happily. He jumped up and followed her out.
.:.
"I got you a present." Cal said happily to Andrew. He hung up his coat and shut the front door.
"What for?" Andrew asked, turning the TV off.
"A homecoming present."
"What?"
"You... are now my son. I adopted you." Cal said with a big smile, "Welcome home."
"Really?" Andrew attacked Cal with a hug and smiled, "What did you get me?" He took the bag from Cal's hand and went digging through it. "Wow!" He pulled out a remote controlled car and started opening it, "This is so cool! Thank you!" Andrew ran off and Cal laughed.
"You told him? Finally?" Emily asked, jogging downstairs, "I don't remember approving a little brother."
"I don't remember asking."
She stuck out her tongue and watched as Andrew drove the car around outside, "This will have gone from a small family to a big one... four kids dad... are you ready to take that on?"
"Well I seemed to be capable of taking on several beatings... and i figured everything out after losing almost all of my memory."
"Good point. Is this house big enough?"
"Probably not, but we can take on getting a new house when the time comes."
