“Yes, I think I will do that. Chaos, would you ask Specs to get me an appointment as soon as possible, please?”
Kissing my forehead, Chaos steps out of the kitchen, and I watch him leave. I turn to Mia when she giggles. “That man is gone for you. I’ve never seen him so focused on one person. He is a great man, and he deserves to have found you. I hope you will be very happy with him, and Corey, of course.”
Mentioning Corey has him appearing as if from nowhere. “Hi, Mom. Are we going home soon?”
“We are. Do you have everything ready to take with us?”
“Yeah. Mrs. Amelia got me some new jammies and things. I have them in a bag ready.”
“Jammies,” I laugh, and Mia smiles. “That’s a good name, Corey,” I continue because I can see I’ve embarrassed him a little.
“Yeah, pajamas. Jammies. It is a good word. I’ll get my things.”
Before I can say more Corey has dashed away. I look at Mia, and she smiles. “Boys, honestly, they are hard to keep up with. You’ll get used to it. I do it in double, and if I can do it, so can you.”
“Double? Oh, good luck, because I’m only just starting and I’m behind already.” We both laugh, knowing I’ve a lot to learn, and a lot to go through. But you know, I don’t mind being Corey’s mom or being Chaos’ woman. It is my family now, and I’m going to protect it.
Dropping me at the apartment with Corey and Jack, Chaos goes to the range where he’s going to check in with clients and find out what is happening. He also said he has to find out what is going to happen with the FBI taking over the laundering that’s been uncovered.
For the next hour, we're cleaning Corey's room, raiding the nearly empty fridge for food, and planning our next steps. I'm also waiting on Specs to get back to me about my lawyer meeting.
I’m not sure what the heck all this talk is about Cleopatra, a night out, and a costume shop!
