"Yes, but it brought us the baby. I heard you in there with him just now. You're a good father. I see how much you love Susana, even though your relationship is unconventional and taboo." She answers. We move our conversation to the living room. I'm touched by this emotion from her. We sit on the couch and she turns to me with a small smile. "You know I didn't approve of your relationship at first. Now I do. I mean, if Susana could you love so much then it obviously couldn't be a mistake." She answers. I hold back my tears.
She notices and pats my back. "If Susana's parents were still alive I'm sure they would grow to accept it too, eventually." She says. This makes me happy to hear. I had been more worried about that than anything else. Edith's smile fades and she squints at me. Her tone changes a little as well. "You better take care of Susana or I'll go back to hating you." She says. I actually chuckle a little in response. "Don't worry, that's a promise I can easily keep." I respond. She smiles and leaves me sitting there.
I nod my head and feel lighter as I sit there. Our relationship is going to be accepted and I can now be with Susana freely. I feel like Aunt Edith has given me the forgiveness or permission from Susana's parents that I had been yearning for. I could never ask them for it, but she has given it to me. As I wait for Susana to get home I realize that I have so many years to catch up on. I am going to start doing that right away. Now I am free to enjoy my time with her and our son. It is such a relief that i want to cry. A few tears do escape my eyes, but i wipe them away.
I walk back to the room and quietly open the door to check on our son. He is sleeping peacefully. My heart is overwhelmed with love and emotion as I gaze at him. I realize that he is part of Susana and I, possibly the best parts of us. We made him together without meaning to. As I close the door I realize that Edith is right. Something truly wonderful did come from my mistake. Honestly, i wouldn't change that for anything. I go back to the living room and sit down. Susana should be home from work any minute. I can't wait to see her again. Each moment with her now feels precious than it did before.
Chapter 20 - Susana
So many things have changed since Mikah came back into my life. The months have passed fairly quickly. He spends a lot of time here with us. It is easy to see how much he loves being a father. He was able to take time off from work to be here. We know he has years upon years of unused vacation time. His employer eagerly let him use it.
Our son has adjusted to this change as well. He has accepted now that Mikah is a permanent installation in our lives, especially his. It brings me such joy to watch them together. It took some time, but they have developed that father and son bond. Our son goes to Mikah every time to play, or just for quality time. Even when I'm busy, I'll immediately see him waddling up to Mikah. It is the most heartwarming thing I have seen.
As far as I mikah and are concerned, we are working slowly on getting back to where we once were. We can both breathe a little easier now that we know Aunt Edith approves of our relationship. Of course we know it is still considered unusual or taboo. No one knows except for us and the family. That is just fine. We have been taking things very slowly. Mikah has been nothing but patient and kind. In fact it was his suggestion we do that. We had a big discussion about it. I'm glad we did. We confessed a lot of deep feelings. This is unlike before, when it was purely about lust and fantasies. Now there are emotions and feelings to contend with. I love that. We have a lasting relationship now.
Tonight is the first night that we are going to re introduce the sexual aspect to our relationship. Mikah said we should take things gently and slowly this time. It is going to be a drastic change from our previous time together. I'm fine with it. I'm happy we both get to be with each other again. As the day gets later, I get butterflies in my stomach. Aunt Edith walks in. "Go get ready!" She insists shooting me out of the room. I smile and obey. She is watching the baby for us tonight. This is going to be exciting. We have never had an actual date before. This is a dream come true for me. It is what I always wanted. A true relationship with Mikah. I can't believe I have that now. It makes me happier than I have ever been. I can't wait to see him again. We missed out on a lot if years together, but I know we can make up for that.
