Dean and I laugh.
"Relax Amber. It's an interview of sorts and today's your lucky day. Do you mind if I see my phone for a minute?"
"Honey, will you hand her your phone until I can give her my phone again. I want to make sure she's comfortable and knows that she can call for help at any given second." I ask Dean.
He smiles and hands her his phone and she hands me mine.
"Amber I need to make a call and I'll be right at the door. You can see me from your seat."
"Have you purchased the Townhouse yet? I ask Mr. Turner.
He tells me he has.
"I found a tenant for the property. I have stipulations for her though. She can live there free for the first six months. After the six months, she can live there rent free as long as she can prove she's in School. She can't let anybody move in with her. When she gets out of college she'll pay a set amount for the remaining time she lives there."
I'll be leaving the place furnished. She'll be able to keep the furniture and all possessions; if or when she decides to move out."
"I'll write up the contract and bring it to the house in a couple of hours." He says with a laugh.
We say our good byes and I make my way back to the table. We eat and talk a little bit more.
"I have a proposal for you. If you agree, you'll have a home for you and your child this afternoon."
"What're you talking about? Is this a joke?" She asks.
I tell her my story. When I'm done I explain to her that I'm now doing for her what was done for me. When we get up to leave she tries to hand Dean money for her food.
"Darlin I don't need or want your money. You keep it because you'll need all your money to take care of that baby of yours."
She thanks him for lunch and we get back into the SUV. Dean drives us to the Townhouse so she can look around.
"Where are we?" She asks as we are pulling up.
"This is the place you can call home once you sign the contract." I say to her.
"Are you serious?" She asks with tears in her eyes.
"I've never been more serious in my life." I say to her.
She does a walk through and I can tell she's excited and possibly a little scared that this is a joke. The doorbell rings and Dean walks downstairs to answer the door. Dean comes back upstairs with Mr. Turner who's brought the contract.
"Will you sit in with us please?" I ask Mr. Turner.
He agrees to sit in and explain the contract to Amber.
"Honey, will you call Nic and ask if we can stay with her until Friday?" I ask Dean.
"I'll call her now baby. Have I told you how fucking amazing you are? You've blown me away with what you're doing for that girl. I love you baby." He says and then kisses me.
"I agree with the stipulations." Amber says after looking over the paperwork.
She signs, I sign, and then Mr. Turner signs. I shake his hand and Amber gives him a hug and then hugs me.
"Congratulations Amber on your first home. I'll be leaving almost everything here with you. There's a car in the garage and that'll also be yours. I do need to get the car into the shop first. It might take a couple of days before you get it back." I say to her.
"Nic's excited about us staying with her. I'm supposed to tell you to give Amber her number if she needs a Doctor for the baby. The prospects are on their way over with Shadow. They're going to help pack and move the things you want. I called the dealership. The tow truck's coming to get the car. I'm sending it to the Glenn's to have it worked on." My man whispers to me.
"You're the greatest honey." I say to him and kiss him.
"Finish up with Amber babe. We need to start packing the stuff you want to take with us home." He says and smacks my ass.
"Amber would you like to move in here know? We'll be moving the twins' stuff out along with the few things I want in just a few minutes."
"Are serious? Like really truly serious?" She asks
"I'm serious sweetie. If you have any problems with the house or anything at all you call Mr. Turner or myself okay?"
"You're my Guardian Angel." She says to me.
"I'm paying it forward. Dean's sister Dr. Delia Henderson is a Pediatrician. She asked him to give you her number if you need a Doctor for your baby."
"Thank you both some much. I'll give her a call." She says with tears in her eyes.
Shadow and the prospects knock on the door and Mr. Turner says his goodbyes as the guys come in with boxes. We start packing up the twins' room and the clothes from my room. Dean's upstairs taking all the pictures of the twins and me down and putting them in a box. He takes my photo albums next. Then start taking the pictures from the stairwell down and comes into my room and grabs the pictures from the dresser.
"I want to look at all the pictures. If I'm the one taking them down I can see them all. I also know that they'll be packed right and won't break the glass."
I give him a kiss and finish my room. I go to the deck and open the storage room door. I grab out the containers and put them on the deck. A prospect with the blonde Mohawk comes out and grabs a couple of them. He nods his head at me and starts taking them to the trailer. I go to the garage and check if there's anything in there I want to keep. I yell into the house for Dean to come help me for a minute.
"Will you take one of the cribs into the baby's room." I ask him.
He nods and starts takes it in the house. I grab the mattress and follow him down to the newly vacated room. I holler up to Amber.
"Would you mind coming down here for a minute Amber. I have a few questions for you. Do you know if you're having a boy or a girl?"
She lets us know she's having a girl. I go back to the garage and grab the containers that has all of Jazz's crib bedding and baby clothes. I take them down to the baby's room. I have all my keepsakes in the containers Mohawk guy took to the trailer already.
"Do you want Jasmine's baby stuff? There's three sets of bedding. I also kept the majority of Jasmine's baby clothes. Do you have any friends that are pregnant or need boy's clothes and bedding? If not I'm going to have a donation truck come by and pick up the extra crib and the boys clothes. Anything else you don't want send with the truck also."
"I'll keep anything you're willing to give me. This is amazing and I don't know how to Thank you for everything you've done for me. Nobody has ever done anything like this for me. I'm so happy right now I could scream. Lyric, you're seriously an Angel. Thank you so much." She says to me with a smile.
Shadow and Dean start to put the crib together and I throw the bedding into the wash. The tow truck comes and gets the car as the prospects get the last of our stuff on the trailer. The dealership calls right before we're leaving and tells me that the car will be ready on Wednesday.
"Amber I'll be back on Wednesday to pick you up to take you downtown to transfer the title. Then I'll take you to get the car. You said earlier you're in school taking CNA classes as well as Billing and Coding classes correct?"
"Yes ma'am that's correct." She responds
"Call Dr. Morris tomorrow and tell her that I told you to call about the position she had just come available."
"I'm so thankful for running into you today." She says to me as she hugs me tight.
"Sometimes people need a break and you're one of those people." I say to her what Brian said to me.
We take the trailer to Nic's house and drop it in the driveway before we go pick the kids up from school.
"We'll be staying at Aunt Nic's house for a couple of days until we leave for Harlan." We tell the twins once they are in their seats.
"What about mine and sissy's stuff? Jamie asks.
"It's all packed up in the trailer. We left out a few toys and some clothes." I tell them.
They seem to think about it for a minute and ask if Dixie and Daisy can sleep with them until we leave?
"You'll have to ask Aunt Nic."
"She'll totally let them sleep with us." They both say with smiles.
The week flies by and before I know it; it's Friday and we plan on leaving in the morning for Harlan. The prospects left a couple of hours ago. Shadow will be leaving when we do. Dean and Shadow will be riding their bikes. I'll be driving my Yukon.
"I'm thinking about buying a vehicle when I take Amber to get the car." I said to Dean on Wednesday.
"Don't bother because you'll have the Yukon." Dean said to me.
"I won't take your vehicle from you."
"I have the Yukon, a truck, and I still has Journey. I'll have a vehicle to drive. Baby, you won't win this fight." He said as he looked at me.
"Fine but you're not getting the Yukon back!"
"It'll be parked next to my truck until you want something new. Then I'll buy you whatever you want. I know you have money and you don't need mine. However, I want you to use your money on whatever; but I'm a man and I provide for my family." He said then he kissed me hard.
