along the way

along the way




Even Hannah (Ellis' sister) wanted to know how Ellis and Louis got together. She didn't think it was possible for Ellis to be in such a relationship. After all, she knew her brother as the cold shoulder no one ever cried on.

"We.." he started then stopped as he focused on cutting up the French toast and sausages on his plate. After all, she'd invited him to breakfast, thinking she should have invited Louis, too. "He..he means a lot to me."

Finally, Ellis said he trusted him. "I know, he's always looked out for me, especially at he recording studio..and..and..well, someone needed to look out for him."

Hannah was pleased. She was thankful her brother had someone. It seemed the past year, they'd all grown. She was starting a family with Stu and now she felt she was also a sister to Geo and Alma and now she was friends with Geo wife, Melissa. It felt as if her circle of friends grew leaps and bounds.

She wasn't so sheltered, anymore. And now she would be a mother by early spring.

"Its..just..why didn't you tell me, when you moved in with him.." She wasn't sure what she could have done. Maybe a housewarming party was out of the question.

"But, you've been busy." He told her he wanted her to be at ease, especially with her pregnancy. "I'm going to be an uncle soon, and I can't think of a better way to start the year." He smiled. "We'll get together soon. We'll have dinner's together. He then offered to have a baby shower for her."

Hannah couldn't help but smile. Ellis wanted her to put together a guests list. Hannah nodded, but the only name she could think of, to write down was Macy. How long had it been since she'd seen her?
