Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 221

Chapter 89

As we make our way across the room, people begin to notice Bronx and me. They stop to pay their respects and smile, happy to see US together and holding hands, looking healthy. They look at him longer than usual, as if they are trying to figure out what is different about him. It’s not clear whether they notice it, but no one points out his missing eye patch.

As we get to the head table, Lenora is sitting next to Codi, who claps happily in her high chair when she sees US. Lenora is digging through a diaper bag looking for something to keep Codi occupied until the kitchen staff can bring food for her. Bronx conveniently lets go of my hand before Lenora notices US and makes his way in the opposite direction to avoid her.

"Au Ka!" Codi squeals and raises her arms up to me, clapping gleefully. Lenora smiles and pulls the toddler from the seat. She gives her a kiss on her chubby cheek and hands her to me. I gladly pull her into my arms and give her raspberries while she giggles and claps. 1

"She's all yours, Aunt Kas. She has been a terror today wanting to see you but she keeps calling you Kat, not Kas. Something we need to work on, I guess" Lenora says.

"Well, I will keep an eye on her, but you need to speak to your brother. He has some news for you before we sit down for his announcements," I say nonchalantly. I tilt my head in his direction as I walk away with Codi.

'Wait - Are you-?"

"No, Lenora, I'm not." I confirm before she can get the words out of her mouth. I don't need any rumors starting about being pregnant.

As I step away with Codi in my arms, I hear Lenora gasp and Bronx laugh. Milo and Reggie walk past me with concerned looks on their faces.
