I woke to little eyes staring at me; I had to focus as I saw little Bex looking at me, her chin resting on the bed. I felt for Lara, she was gone; the beautiful smell coming from the kitchen gave away her hiding place.

“You want up,” I ask and she nods and I pull her onto the bed with me. I wrap my arms around her and hold her to me. Within minutes both Bex and I are fast asleep. I woke about an hour later to my picture being taken. I opened my eyes and smiled, Lara had taken a picture of Bex and I asleep. I still had her in my arms as she slept. I scooted Bex and I over and opened the blanket so Lara could join us. We just stared at each other, having a silent conversation. After a few minutes smiles and kisses me. We both get up, slowly to not disturb Bex, and head out to the kitchen. I sit at her table and watch as she puts food on a plate for me.

“Normally she’s so shy around strangers,” she said, “but with as much as I talk to my room mate, Tasha, about you, I’m sure she’s picked up on who you are.”

“Yeah, well my sister’s son is attached to me. He just turned two and every time I see him, he clings to me. It’s probably because my sister always has the nanny looking after him and I’m the only one who shows any affection towards him.”

“Your sister and her husband have a nanny?”

“Yeah, we were raised with one, as was Bronson. His father, Bronson McMahon Sr. and his mother were too busy to raise their kids. Bronson’s dad is a retired California state senator and his mother is busy with throwing parties, functions, charity balls, and what not with her friends. Pretty much the same with Irwin and Sharon.”

“Wow, your sister is married to Bronson McMahon Jr.? The A.D.A.?”

“Yeah, my dad hooked them up, my dad’s coaching Bronson to be the next D.A.”
