“Hey, let’s not worry about that right now, we have a full day where we can be a complete family, and I told you before, I wanted to have you be a part of my life. “I have a lot to be sorry for, Steven.” Rose stated grimly, Steven finished his breakfast and cleared his throat to speak once more. “You apologize too much, Mom.” Rose could tell Steven wanted to keep everyone’s spirit’s up with his words. I hope you can forgive me, dear…” Rose felt these had been the same words she had said to the other gems the night before, like she was one of Greg’s broken records, saying the same thing to everyone she spoke to. Rose felt almost embarrassed by his statement, “I had no idea this would happen, if I did, I would have prepared for this. I never even thought this would be possible.” She wondered what she should say to him, “I missed you, I’m so happy that we can raise Steven together.” Greg sighed and smiled, “I missed you too, Rose. In truth, it had been a shock for everyone. “Greg.” He jumped slightly, still getting used to hearing her voice again, she remembered Steven telling her how shocked he was to hear of her ‘return’. His hair, long as ever, had now entirely retreated from the top of his head, his skin singed from countless hours standing unprotected in the summer sun. “Okay, Shtoo-ball, hope you’re hungry!” Greg said excitedly, Rose turned her gaze to see Greg and pondered how much he had changed. She could hear bacon and eggs crackle and sizzle over the stove. Greg had decided to celebrate the surprise reunion by making breakfast for everyone. The rain from the past week had left behind a persistent haze that hung around the house, obscuring the view of the outside area. As she looked around, she saw the first rays of the morning sun shine through Steven’s bedroom window. He had made sure to position the new smart tablet Greg had purchased on the kitchen counter, facing out toward the front door. “Oh, I can’t believe it! It’s our first family breakfast, this so great!” Rose smiled at Steven’s words.
