EPISODE THIRTY THREE

Theme: Dad is here!

IVY RIVERA APARTMENT

Leroy paused his video game and dashed out of his bedroom running towards the living room.

“How are you Leroy?” Emily asked, gesturing to him to sit close to her.

“I am fine, aunt Emily. My mom already told me so much about you.” Leroy smiled.

“Oh really?!” Emily looked at her sister. “So what did she say about me?” She requested.

“She said good things about you, aunt Emily.” Leroy replied as he toyed with the bracelet on her wrist when she snuggled him closer.

“Hmmm...Didn't your mom tell you aunt always sleep walk when she was little.” Emily teased him.

“No she said none of that!” Leroy countered as he laughed out and Ivy and Emily joined in.

“You know what? I think Leroy got that from you. He sleep talks and walks at times.” Ivy retorted and they all laughed again.

“It’s really nice to see you and Leroy.” Emily mumbled with a happy smile on her face.

“I am happy to see you too! And don’t worry aunt, my mom and I are here for you. And we are glad to have you with us.” Leroy embraced her.

“That's so touching my handsome nephew. But I am sorry for showing up with this horrible looking face.” Emily joked.

“No, it’s not horrible. My mom told me that you are very pretty and I think you are beautiful. And you will heal with time. Oh! My mom already contacted the best doctor and therapist before you got here.” Leroy reported what his mom did before Emily’s arrival.

Emily exchanged glance with her sister. She was surprised at Ivy’s effort to help her get better.

“Don’t worry..it’s nothing big.” Ivy shrugged. “Leroy is such a talker.” She added.

Leroy flashed her one of his boyish grin that always made her grateful for having him.

“Ivy, thank you very much.” Emily whispered.

“Emily, I apologize for leaving and turning my back on you. If I had any other options I wouldn’t have left you.” Ivy said with sincerity on her face.

“Please stop apologizing, Ivy. You just did what you had to do to save yourself and your baby. And should I be honest? I really can't believe this happening.” Emily said.

“What?” Ivy asked.

Emily looked around the luxurious living room. “Everything here is great..and I am happy you are doing fine without much help from anyone. You even raised a son on your own but look at me -“

Ivy cuts in. “Oh please Emily, let’s not open a can full of worms. Just give me the chance to help you with the little I have.” Ivy asserted.

Emily screwed up her face. “You call this life little? This comfort zone little? You are a star sis - oh I didn't tell you!” She paused.

“What?” Ivy asked.

“You are really popular back in town, everyone is dying to watch any movie you work on and sometimes we all get to the pictures -“ Emily stopped talking when she noticed the sudden change in Ivy expression.

“Can we not talk about home?” Ivy stated.

Emily nodded in agreement with an apologetic look on her face.

“Aunt Emily, how is grandma and grandpa doing? I just hope to meet them too.” Leroy pulled away from her.

Emily forced a smile on her face. “They..they..they are fine. And they sent their regards too but about meeting them you have to talk to your mom about that.” She replied.

“Mom can I -“

“Please not now Leroy, so why don't you just go and get ready.” Ivy interrupted him.

Leroy furrowed his eyebrows. “Are we going out?” He asked.

Ivy nodded. “We have to take your aunt to the hospital to do some check ups.” She answered.

Leroy frowned. “But what about dad?!” He asked.

“Dad?” Emily asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Yes aunt..I already met with my dad. Dad is quite popular here..I looked him up on internet.” Leroy blurted out.

“You did that?!” Ivy gasped out in surprise.

“Yes mom..I found out that my dad is super rich just that he is getting married soon to another woman.” Leroy said soberly.

He wasn’t happy his dad was getting married to someone else. He wished they could all live together like a family.

Leroy already found out more about his dad and there was no way Ivy could take away what he just discovered. “I warned you not to operate the laptop without my consent.” She scolded him.

“I am sorry mom but I had to - I wanted to clear my curiosity.” Leroy said with an apologetic look on his face.

Emily was confused. “Woow woow! what's going on here?! I mean what am I missing?!” She questioned frantically.

“It’s nothing big. I'll tell you everything on our way to the hospital.” Ivy stood up from the couch to grab her car keys.

The door bell rang.

“That must be my dad! I’ll get the door!” Leroy rushed to the door at a close run.

“Come on Emily, don't give me that look....” Ivy rolled her eyes.

Emily stood up from the couch and went to her sister. “How did you find his dad?” She mouthed.
