Chapter 4: Getting to know my family

That night I slept restlessly. Thomas is my son, I am sure of it. Now I have to figure out what I am going to do. At 7am the phone in my room was ringing. It was Thomas inviting me to have breakfast with him and his mother. I asked to speak with her, just to make sure it was okay if I joined them. It was and she told me to come on over breakfast would be ready in a few minutes. I dressed and called a cab. As Thomas opened the door, Lexie asked how I liked my eggs. I hugged Thomas and walked into the kitchen where Lexie stopped what she was doing, turned to me and kissed me on the lips! I looked back at Thomas, he was smiling! While she was finishing at the stove, she asked me to get the preserves out of the refrigerator. I opened the door and found a jar of strawberry preserves. It was not hard to find since there was very little on the shelves in the bottom part of her refrigerator. I opened the freezer, there was nothing in it!

Sitting at the table I asked Thomas how he like the steaks last night. He said he loved them! I told him we would have to eat there again. Then the questions started. He wanted to know his grandparents’ names, the names of his aunts and uncles, everybody in the family. He had a pencil and paper and was writing everything down as he drew a sort of family tree. Lexie came to the table with our plates then went back for hers.
