Mort and Alex went to the pharmacy to pick up Mort’s
prescription, then they went to Karen and Steven’s house. As soon as they stepped inside, Mort rushed
to Julia’s playpen, a huge smile on his face - his spirits were always higher
when he was around her.Julia beamed when she saw him. “Up!” she said, raising her arms. That had been Julia’s first word, and the
one she seemed to use the most. When
Mort arrived at Alex’s home one afternoon, Julia saw him and insisted that he
pick her up by saying that word. Alex
was in the room when this happened and her heart melted.Alex went into the kitchen where Karen was finishing
up with dinner. She grabbed a knife and
began to slice a cucumber for the salad when Karen asked in a hushed voice,
“Everything O.K.?”Alex hadn’t told any details to Karen, she didn’t
want to betray Mort’s trust – she told her sister that Mort hadn’t been feeling
well. She answered simply, “It’s
hopefully nothing more than a bit of stress.”“Probably not,” Karen said, peeking into the living
room. “Though he certainly doesn’t seem
to be bothered right now.” Mort was
currently on the floor lying on his back.
He was holding Julia above him and seemed incredibly pleased that this
made the little girl laugh so much. “I
mean no disrespect, Alex, but Julia’s going to start to think he’s her father.”Alex felt a tinge of guilt, but it was quickly
replaced by warmth. “I know,” she said
softly. “She adores him. I swear, if she was a little older, she’d
ask for him by name sometimes.”“And you?”
“Me?”
“Are you all right with things now?”
Alex finished slicing and put the cucumber pieces
into the salad bowl.yes"> “But there’s a man in that room who loves both me and my daughter
and, Karen, I can see a life with him.”“Have you told him that?”
Alex shook her head and laughed. “I don’t want him running in the other
direction, do I?”“Look at him, Alex, I don’t know that he’d move if I
paid him.”yes"> “I just feel a little rundown, I’m fine though.”Mort’s arm slid around her waist from behind, and he
kissed her neck. “Well, I guess that
the bath I was going to draw for you is out of the question then?”Her eyes lit up.
“Well, now that you mention it, I really could use a little down time.”“Can I stay tonight?”
Alex turned to face him and her face became very
serious. He voice was soft and loving
as she said, “Mort, you never have to ask.”***
Author’s Note: Thanks for hanging in there guys! I hope this chapter was a little “faster”
than the last one. Big stuff coming, I
swear – the setup’s just taking a wee bit longer than I thought it would…p;
