Thanks for all of the wonderful reviews and happy turkeyday everyone
Will and Alicia spent the rest of the weekend together. It was the first time that they spent the whole weekend together since Georgetown. Neither one could dein that it was the happiest either one of them had been in a long time.
It pain both of them to leave, but Alicia had to get the kids from Owen, and figure out where he lived. She also knew Eli would be calling her anytime now, especially since she did not turn up to work and talk to his client. Though he most likely already knew, and would account for it.
Will had to go as well. He didn't tell Diane that he wouldn't be at work, so he would have to deal with her yelling as well.
Since Peter would be home next weekend, they both agreed that they shouldn't go to her place next weekend. But, they did agree on dinner that weekend, just so she could get out of the house for a while.
When Alicia got home, she found it not empty, and not as she left it. There was breakfast made and the tv on, the washing machine was on and so was the dishwasher. She knew it wasn't a robber, but when she found out who it was, she wish it was a robber.
"Owen! You were supposed to wait until I came and got them."Alicia shook her head as
she saw her brother, legs crossed, watching reality tv, eating a bowl of chips.
"There's no tv or internet at my house, we came back here, but you were gone. Where were you?"Owen said, giving his sister his full attention, waiting for an answer.
"I was with Will. And you could have told me. I would have came home, and we could have spent it together."Alicia said, kicking herself for not answering her phone or checking on the kids more. But then she thought, they might have saw Will, or worse, Peter.
"Sis, I told you I was taking them for the whole weekend. I actually hoped you would come back later."
"Well, atleast you cleaned the house."Alicia said as she dropped to her couch and started eating some of Owen's chips. Who pulled the bowl away from her.
"I didn't do that. The kids did. Oh and they know."Owen said, holding his bowl hostage.
"They know what."Alicia said as she managed to steal a chip.
"Get off. And they know about the divorce being pushed up too soon. I do hope that you did it, because now you have to."Owen said sliding away from his sister. Half trying to save his food, half trying to save his life.
"Owen. I was supposed to tell them."Alicia whine, getting up from the couch.
"I'm sorry it just came out." Alicia sighed and went straight to the kids room.
"Zach. Grace."She called as she reached their rooms. The two of them came out immediately.
"Yes?"They said in unision.
"Hey, so uncle Owen said he told you about me and dad."Alicia was a bit nervous, but she was sure that they wouldn't mind much.
"Yeah, and I am happy for you. i just hope that you didn't do it because of us."Zach said, his face turning from happy to gloomy in seconds.
"Oh no. This was something that I need to do. But two did help me to be able to do it though." Alicia smiled as she hugged her son.
"And you Grace, how do you feel about this."Now Alicia became more worried than she was before. Grace was alway fragile and passionate, and always the one to worry about. Grace smiled.
"I'm ok. As Long as I get to see you both, I think I will be ok. I just hate being those kids with divorced parents"Grace said, turning towards her room. She still didn't like the situation, but she was willing to try. But she would not make it easy.
"Well then, you can think of yourself as my kid, or the happy kid with happy parents, ok?"Alicia said with a little smile. Grace turned around and smiled back, falling into a big hug with her mother.
"So your dad will be home tomorrow and he really wants to see the both of you. He will be staying with us until he find a good place to live, and you guys to stay at on weekends."
"So how long will he be with us?"
"Hopefully a month or less. but let's not dwell on that. Uncle Owen has chips, and he's not sharing, let's go get him." Alicia smiled and nodded to the living room.
The three of them attacked Owen and jumped he for his chips. After that, they played some games, ate dinner and went to sleep. Owen left, but Alicia stayed up all night. She would have to see David Lee tomorrow.
The next morning everything went wonderful. The kids left for school on time, and the house was quiet as she left. No disturbances no yelling, just peace.
Alicia arrived at her office bright and shiny. She had hoped no one would notice, but of course they did. Alicia thanked them and dropped her things off at her desk, she had hoped to get this thing with David Lee over with.
She never passed Will's office, she knew that she would never be able to leave if she did. She reached David's Office without any distractions and walked in without a worry.
"Alicia! I don't think I asked for you this week."David said as he popped some candy into his mouth. Alicia looked around and closed his door.
"I didn't want to make an appointment, it would cause too much suspicion."Alice sat down and placed her things next to her.
"What. Alicia, is this a personal matter?"David's lips curving into a surreptitious smile.
"You are the best when it comes to celebrity divorces, and you are known for being discreet."As she talked, David's smile grew wider, she was afraid he would rip his face soon.
"So me and Peter are getting a divorce, and I need it as soon as possible."Alicia said in a hurry, hoping that this would be over as soon as possible.
"Ok, well come see me in two days. I will have everything that you need."David said as he grabbed his computer, already starting on the case.
"Thank you."Alicia said before getting up and leaving.
"Oh no don't thank me, you are being billed for this. And if anyone asks, I have you on the brown case."Alicia shook her head and left. She felt a rush of dread flow through her as she walked out of his office.
Needing reassurance, she walked to Will's office, hoping he would calmer.
"So you got yelled at and I sold my soul to the devil. I would say a good morning."Alicia said recapping the both of their mornings as she sat across from Will in his office. The both of them laughed, reminding themselves of the morning.
"So the kids are ok with this?"Will asked after the laughter died down.
"Yeah, they were happy than I was. Though I think Grace needs a little more convincing."
"Well then, I think it is a good idea, and stick with it. Even if that means selling your soul to the devil."He joked.
"I guess so."
" Well I have a couple of clients today, no court. You want to go for lunch?"Will asked, hoping for more than lunch.
"Only if I actually get lunch,"Alicia smiled, sure of his intentions.
They never got to lunch.
"You promised me lunch."Alicia said as Will dropped grapes into Alicia's mouth.
"I am feeding you."Will said as he rubbed her bare stomach under the sheets.
"I meant a real lunch Will."She said as she ate the last grape from his hand and kissed him.
"Next time I promise."Will said, not really meaning it. His phone started to vibrate and he put his hand to his lips.
"Hello?"Will said getting comfortable on the bed of the hotel. Alicia couldn't hear what was said on the other end, but soon found out who it was.
"Diane I'll be there it will be ok. Bond can not do that, we will get through this. Alicia's phone started to ring, and Grace's voice filled the room.
Alicia almost fell out of the bed to get her phone and run into the bathroom. Will placed a hand over the phone as soon as he heard the phone go off.
"I'm at lunch. Look I'll be there soon, our normal place?"Will offered, and as soon as she agreed, he hung up.
"You think she knows?"Alicia said emerging from the bathroom.
"If she did, it really doesn't matter now. Too much is going on, and you are getting a divorce, she can't do much now."Will said rubbing her shoulders and planting her with a kiss.
"But I do need to head back to the office,there are somethings I need to take care of."
"Trouble in paradise with your new partner?"Alicia asked, flopping down on the bed.
"We just gotta put some people in their place. Bond thinks that he can come in here and tear our firm apart. He has another thing coming."Will said as he started to pull on clothes and head out of the door.
"Will. Eventually we will need to talk about how this will work with us being at the same firm."
"I'll handle that when it comes to it. I have to do something in this relationship. You can't do all of the work."Will kissed her before grabbing his keys.
"You make me happy. That's all the help I need at this moment."Alicia said as she watched him walk out of the room.
I love Will so much. Did anyone catch the last scene, tell me if you did. I hope you enjoyed, review.
