"I thought we were going out for dinner?" Larnia questioned quietly, her eyes widening as she spotted the large building standing off to their side.

Her eyes flicking back in forth between Florence, their joint hands, the court house and her nieces, Larnia suddenly found herself reeling as her fiance came to the end of her speech, a soft but nervous smile forming at her lips. Licking her own lips, the trauma surgeon stared nervously at Florence, her previous wedding and marriage coming back in short, fuzzy images. She'd already been married once, and while she had expressed her desire to marry the woman in front of her, standing here, meters away from actually sealing the deal, Larnia couldn't help shift nervously from one heel to the other. What if this marriage turned out exactly like the other one, with the two of them doing everything possible to avoid each other? Larnia knew though, no matter how many fears and excuses came to mind, that this time would be different. She loved Florence, and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with her. There was nothing Larnia wouldn't do for this woman, and she loved her with every inch of her heart.

So with a shuddering breath, Larnia straightened her spine slowly, her eyes jumping from Evangline, to Eleanor, to Florence, before she nodded, "Yes."

Family night

Forence took Larnia’s hand as soon as she could reach it and held it a little tighter than usual; she was holding on to the woman she loved and the future she had envisioned for them. 

“We’ll have to walk a few blocs” She smiled apologetically, as she explained why she had parked the car on a street that seemingly didn’t harbor any restaurants. She got out of the car and quickly reached Larnia’s side to take her hand.

They walked in an unusual silence with the kids on their tail. As they passed an imposing and ostentatious building Florence stopped and held Larnia back so she would face her. Her eyes surveyed Larnia’s face swiftly, a habit you build when you fall in love with someone who’s beauty never seize to fascinate you.

Florence took Larnia’s second hand and tilted her head, she pointed towards the building with her chin. “ I want to stay by your side for the rest of my life. You’ve already turned me in a better person, but i want papers and rings to prove it.  Would you climb those stairs with me and do me the honors of letting me call you “my wife”? ”

Do I spy a receding hairline?

[dr-larnia-p-blog-blog]

Great sense of fashion, but not so great at lying.

Any ideas who drew this lovely picture of Nona?

[dr-larnia-p-blog-blog]

*Nods and wipes away his tears fiercely.* I didn't mean to get you in trouble. I just don't want dad or Charlotte to think i don't love them anymore. I just miss my mom and *Starts to cry again.*

I know buddy. *rubs back* Let's get in the car. It's cold out here. We can talk more when we get home.

[dr-larnia-p-blog-blog]

*Throws himself at Larnia and wraps his arms around her, crying into her.* I'm sorry.

Oh buddy. *smooths hand through hair, kisses top of head* I know, I know you're sorry, but Mason, *pushes back to look at face* Lying is not okay. You could have gotten me in a lot of trouble.

[dr-larnia-p-blog-blog]

*Blinks away tears.* You really promise?

*sighs, reaches forward, cups cheek* Yes Mason, I promise.

[dr-larnia-p-blog-blog]

*Jumps at Larnia's voice, and thinks about running.* only if you promise I don't have to go home tonight.

*swallows back a growl, before nodding stiffly* Get in the car.

[dr-larnia-p-blog-blog]

[Text] No i do not want to go home and you're going to make me so no!

*throws phone into seat, speeds up, zooms around corner, spies Mason walking away from chip cart, pulls over quickly, gets out and points to car* Get. In. Now.

[dr-larnia-p-blog-blog]

[Text] NO! I don't want to go home! If i can't stay at yours, i'll go some where else. Don't worry about picking me up, i'm running away.

[text] Stay where you are Mason, or so help me!

[dr-larnia-p-blog-blog]

[Text] I may also not have actually told them i was coming to yours. Dad thinks i've got practice and that i've been picked up.

[text] Mason! That is not okay, at all. You not only lied to your parents but to me as well. I am taking you straight back home when I get there.

[dr-larnia-p-blog-blog]

[Text] Well that sucks! Maybe i don't want to be with Charlotte and my dad for the next few days. I just miss my mom and it's the anniversary of her dying tomorrow and i don't want another mom tomorrow. I want my mom. But don't tell Charlotte or Cooper! I don't want to upset them!

[text] Oh Mason...see was that so hard? Of course you can come and stay. If you had just said that in the first place we wouldn't have had to play twenty questions. I'm not too far away now and when we get home we can talk about this more because I will have to tell your parents something. If I don't Florence will.

[dr-larnia-p-blog-blog]

[Text] Okay, i'm there now so i'll wait :D And isn't i'm just really eager to hang out with my cool aunty a good enough reason?

[text] No it's not. And there really isn't any point in lying to me because when Florence comes home she'll be able to tell whether you're telling the truth. So please Mason, save us both the trouble of having to deal with that, and be honest.

[dr-larnia-p-blog-blog]

[Text] Fine, i told them. I've started walking, are you at home, or the hospital?

[text] I am on my way back from getting Evie. Wait at the corner where the chip stand usually is, I will get you from there then you can explain to me, why it is exactly, that you couldn't wait for me at your house.

[dr-larnia-p-blog-blog]

[Text] Does something have to be wrong for us to hang out? I miss coming to see you every week!

[text] Because you're ready to climb out of your window, Mason. If you are not going ask your parents then you cannot come and stay.

[dr-larnia-p-blog-blog]

[Text] Awww come on Larnia! You're totally meant to be my cool aunty!

[text] Mason...what is going on?

[dr-larnia-p-blog-blog]

[Text] Can you tell them? I've packed a bag and i'm totally down to climb out my window and meet you round the corner?

[text] Don't you dare! Now you tell me what is going on right now or I am going to come and talk to your parents.
