“You ready to go buy our forever property, my loves?”

Alexa and I both give a, “Hooyah.” I’ve finally gotten the hang of it and love it.

On entering we see Pam on the phone and she holds her finger up in the air signaling she’s busy.

‘Yes, Sir, no the gentleman said he wants the land, he will pay thirty million cash. Immediate transfer of ownership, he wants the title released today, well tomorrow now that it’s after hours, I’ll file the transfer first thing in the morning.’

Pam is listening to the man on the other end and Alexa and I take a seat on the worn leather sofa, I’m exhausted and need to get off my feet it’s been a long day.

Alexa climbs onto my lap and snuggles herself around my tummy, and as soon as she does the babies roll to get into a comfortable position and Alexa kisses my belly before speaking to them, “Hey, Bugs, Sissy is tiwed and needs Mommy cuddles, it’s been a big day.”

I stroke Alexa’s curls and she looks up at me with a cheeky grin, “They needs to leawn to shawe, I haves to teach them young.”

I laugh because she’s right, “You do indeed, being a big sister is a very important role and you will always be my first, Lovebug, and nothing will ever change that.”

Alexa holds my face in her little hands, “I know, Mommy, you loves me like I came from your tummy, and I love you wight back.”

I feel tears spilling over at Alexa’s simple, honest reply. I’m glad she feels my love and it makes my heart so happy.

“I do, I love you sweet girl, always, to the moon… and back.”

Our intimate moment is interrupted when Pam raises her voice.

‘Now, you listen to me, Gus, and you listen good, that property has sat with no one to appreciate its beauty for thirty years! You will not get forty million for this land and you’d be a damn fool to pass it up, have a scotch and think on it, I’ll wait for your call.’

Alexa and I smile at each other because Pam is a spitfire just like Betty, I like this woman instantly.

She rushes around the counter and says a quick, ‘Hello, Mr. Harrington’ before rushing straight past him to Alexa and me and I look at Alexander and he smiles wide looking amused.

“Hello ladies, welcome, welcome. Can I get you anything, a water or juice?”

“Hi, Pam, I’m Alexa Hawwington and this is my mommy.” Alexa introduces.

“Well, aren’t you just the sweetest little girl, would you like a juice box?”

“Yes, please, I’s thiwsty, it’s been a long day.” Alexa sighs out dramatically.

Pam smiles bright, “Would you like anything, Mrs. Harrington?”

I return her smile; this woman’s energy is infectious, and I like her energy and caring nature.

“Do you have any tea; I’d really like a strong hot cup of tea.”

“I do child, I’ll go to the back and make it for you.”

Alexander steps over to us and smiles broadly at Pam, he’s so much more relaxed now that he’s in control and not a rabid... vixen.

“It’s been a long day of house hunting; do you think you’ll hear back from Gus?”

Pam holds her hand out, “Hi, sorry, Mr. Harrington I just had to meet your girls, yes, Gus will call back, he’s just being a silly old fool.”

Pam goes to speak again when the phone rings, “Show time, Mr. Harrington, let’s get it done.”

She pauses and turns to me, “Mrs. Harrington please go on back and help yourself while I wrangle these men.”

I smile, “Thank you, would you like anything?”

Pam shouts over her shoulder running for the phone, “Tea please.”
