"I love this picture so much. A little family." Mrs. Williams grins at me and show me a picture of me, the kids, and Hayes were candid at Dad's wedding.
"How could you get all of these pictures?" I frown at her.
"Your dad sent us." She giggles.
I smile and look at to these pictures. Now I'm in London. Going to have my Christmas with Jason's parents like I promised them. The kids are now busy with their grandfather and now I'm with Jason's mom arranging the pictures.
"I mean, I like Cooper. He is nice, well behaved and such a dreamy. Then Sam, he is a handsome dummy. But when I look at you with Hayes, it's like I was seeing you with Jason." Mrs. Williams says to me.
"Mom, he is married. He had to married this girl because he wants to make his grandfather happy." I said to her.
"But if he wasn't, do you want to be with him?"
"I would. I told you that I like him. He can bond with the kids within an hour that was the fastest time." I said to her and putting the photos into photo album.
"Maybe you can swoop in and ruin their marriage. I can see that he likes you too." Mrs. Williams grins at me.
"Mom!" I shake my head.
"Don't listen to her, she is crazy sometimes." Mr. Williams simply said.
"That guy looks like Jason and Lily was being all over him, honey." Mrs. Williams says to him.
"But what can we do? He told us that he married. Believe me, karma does exists. You ruin their marriage and someday someone will ruin yours or probably your kids." Mr. Williams says to us.
"That's correct actually." I nod as agree.
"Mommy, I'm sleepy." Lily says to me.
"Okay let's go to the bed." I get up. "Say goodnight first." I smile at her.
"Goodnight." Lily takes my hand and waves Jason's parents a goodbye.
I pick her up and bring her to the bedroom. This is Jason's former room. A room that he slept when he ran from me for six months when I was pregnant with the twins. This room is full with my name and sketch of my face that he drew.
Lily gets on top of me and lays down on her belly on top of me. I rub her back and her head as she leans her head on my chest. I turn my face to the door and smile as Luke walks in then close the door. I pat to the space next to me and he lays down next to me.
"Hi.." I smile at him and kiss his nose.
Luke giggles and cups my cheeks. I peck on his lips and smile at him. I rub his head as he moves his body cuddling me. I have two kids who loves falling asleep while cuddling me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm stirring the silver bowl and making cake batter for the Christmas dinner Eve tonight. The kids and Jason's parents are going out to get some coffee and candies.
This is our first Christmas without Jason. My first Christmas without mom, I spent with eating hot dog with dad in Washington and now I'm in London without my husband.
I was so happy when I married a British man. I can teach my kids to talk with accent. But now all we have only memories.
Suddenly the door bell is ringing. All the housemaids in this house already went home for holiday and I'm literally home alone and if someone ring the door bell which means that it must be a guest.
I put my silver bowl on the kitchen counter and walks to the door. I wipe my hands to my apron and opens the door.
"I got lilies for you." Hayes smiles at me and gives me a bouquet of lilies.
"How could you know I'm here?" I chuckle.
"Well, your parents in law sent me flight tickets and I had none to celebrate Christmas so I went here." He chuckles.
"Come on in." I smile at him and smell the lilies.
"You smell cheese." Hayes laughs softly.
"Well, I'm making strawberry cheesecake for tonight's dinner." I giggle. "Put your suitcase in a room upstairs, third door on the left." I said to him and walk to the kitchen.
I put the cake batter on the round pan and then put it into the oven. I take a mop and clean up the floor from the flour.
"Now think of all the years you tried to find someone to satisfy you. I might be as crazy as you say. If I'm crazy then it's true that it's all because of you and you wouldn't want me any other way." I'm singing and dancing and using the mop stick as my microphone.
"Nice performance." Hayes laughs and clapping his hands.
"Were you watching?" I chuckle.
"Yes. Because you sang Billy Joel's song." Hayes smiles at me and sits down on the counter.
"That was dad's favorite song. Well, you haven't see me fell down on Broadway stage like hundredth time during my performance." I laugh.
"Why is that?" Hayes asks me.
"Because the stage was slippery and I had to wear these boots and the dress that kinda heavy. If you watch our performance at Tony Awards, then that's exactly like that." I giggle.
"It was amazing though. The speech and the performance." He smiles at me.
"I can't believe I won." I giggle.
"Well, as a Tony Awards winning artist so you must be get higher paid." He chuckles.
"Honestly, I got an offer to do this movie. It's an animation movie but the cast has to be sing in it and my agent and my manager told me to do it. Recording like that can be done in a week right?" I said to him.
"Let me guess the movie. It's Rio 3 right? Yeah I'm the producer for that album." Hayes grins at me.
"Okay, are you the one who told the directors to chose me?" I frown at him.
"No. About the cast are in the directors hand. I have nothing to do with it." He shakes his head.
"I will think about it." I giggle.
"Mommy, grandpa is here!" Lily shouts.
I turn my face and Lily walks leading dad and holding his hand to the kitchen. She then turns her face to Hayes and runs to him immediately and forget about dad.
"Hi.." I smile at dad and hug him. "Where is Shelby?"
"Oh she went back to New York, apparently Beth is having winter flu so.." Dad says to me.
"Alright, turkey is ready also the mashed potatoes and the roast beef. We just need waiting for the cheesecake." I grin at them.
"You cook all of these?" Dad asks me.
"Well, I asked if she needs help or not but she shush me away." Mrs. Williams chuckles.
"You sure no Paris Iconic Chicken Casserole?" Dad laughs.
"Daddy!" I roll my eyes. "Alright, none touch the kitchen and none touch the Christmas tree." I said to them.
"She still doesn't let anyone decorate the Christmas tree?" Dad asks the others.
