“But that's just from the stitches and being in the wheelchair, right?” Charles asked, hoping that what he had done for her had still worked.

" except for the leg tumor" she said

“Wait, what?” Lysander asked in deep worry as he knelt beside her.

“What tumor?” Charles furrowed his brow slightly.

"I have a leg tumor and It's slowly moving up to my heart " she said

“How long have you had it?” Charles asked, clenching his fist till his knuckles turned white.

"Dad," she said grabbing his hand.

Charles looked up at her. “Is it new or have you had this for a while?” he asked again.

"A while" she said

Charles opened his mouth but quickly closed it, remembering that there were children in the room. Instead, he sighed and shook his head. “I… I wanted you to be healthy. Not dying.” he admitted in a soft murmur.

“Maybe we should talk about this later.” Henry suggested, hoping to shift the mood.

" where's evan" she asked looking around bot seeing him

“He should be here soon.” Henry answered. “He’s just running a little late.”

"Oh…" She said

“Don’t worry, mon amour. He’ll be here.” Lysander assured her softly.

" just figured he should be here when his child sags his first word" she said

Lysander managed to smile softly at that and nodded a little. “Don’t worry too much about that. I don't think Adrian is going to stop any time soon.” he chuckled a little. Sometimes it was hard to forget that Adrian and Victoria were Evan’s kids and not his… But he still loved them as much as if they had been.

Adrian giggled a little, as if to prove his uncle's point. “Mama.”

" he should've been here Ly it's his first word that moments special to a father you should know" she said

He nodded softly as he remembered Laura-Beth's first word. “I do. I thought my heart was going to burst.” he agreed.

She smiled softly at him

Lysander smiled back and kissed her cheek.

"Oh… How late am I?" Evan's voice came from the doorway, sounding a little embarrassed.

Betty lowered her head

“That late?” Evan winced at Betty's reaction. “I’m sorry. I had to deal with a… conflict that got a little out of hand. I’m really sorry, Betty.” he apologized.

"It's okay," she said quietly

Evan sighed a little, not convinced that he wasn't still in trouble. “I brought you these… to kinda welcome you home.” he said as he gestures to the bouquet of her favorite flowers in his hand as he walked over to her.

"…oh" she said trying her best not to break out in a full on grin

Evan smiled a little, noticing her efforts. “Now you’re just teasing me.” he chuckled. “I really am sorry I’m late.” he said again.
