Alexis smiled when she felt Gloria's hug, and hugged her back.
"It's okay, Gloria. Really. You, have made my Uncle so happy. He's never been happier. And, your family are now our family, and they can come over, any time, they want to. We love you, Gloria." She, hugged her back again.
Gloria looked at Alexis, amazed and quite bewildered. When she gave her the keys to the house.
"Alexis. I ... I ... don't know, what to say. How can I possibly thank you and Jason, for all your kindness. I can't really take the keys. Can, I. Are you, sure. I love your Uncle, with all my heart. I would never do anything otherwise." She, picked up the keys, and looked at them. "Alexis. No one, has ever been so nice to, me. There's no way, I can ever thank you, honey." She, stood up and went over to Alexis, and hugged her tightly. "Thank you. Thank you." She, hugged her again.
"Michael and Kevin, are going to be shocked. They're going to try and talk you and Jason out of it. I hope you're going to be ready for them. Not to mention Lauren and Chloe. And, you have my permission, to tell Chloe, to be quite. Once she, starts talking, she never stops, Alexis." She, hugged her again. Then went over to Mary, and hugged her tightly.
Alexis smiled when she felt Gloria's hug, and hugged her back. She, smiled when she hugged, Mary. "Yes, of course, it's okay for you, to be here, Gloria. That's what, I wanted to talk you about. Jason and I would like you, to come and move with us and, Uncle Tony. We wanted to give you, your own key. You, have become family, and we love you, Gloria." She, gave her the envelope. "This envelope has all the keys. It's a bit crazy, but you really only need a couple of them. So, please say yes." She, smiled softly at, her.
Gloria came down stairs after getting a call from, Alexis. She, took a deep breath, when she saw Alexis at the table with, Mary. And, went over to them. "Good morning, girls." She, hugged Alexis, then went over to Mary, and hugged her to. "I'm here, honey. What is it, that you wanted to talk to me, about. Tony had, to go out, for a bit. He'll be back soon. I hope it's okay, that he left me, here." She, smiled softly at them.
Mary was sitting at the table with Alexis, drinking her coffee, and smiled at her. "It is wonderful, of the children to call her, Aunt Gloria. I love, when they call me, Aunt Mary. I'll do my best, Alexis. I don't see, how she can turn you and Jason down." She, grinned at, her.
Alexis was in the kitchen with Mary, waiting for Gloria to come downstairs. She, looked at her, and grinned. "I hope Gloria accepts our offer, and moves in here with, Tony. She, here with him, every minute. I think, it's time, to make it official with a key. Don't you. And, you can help me, convince her, Mary." She, grinned at her. "The children already, call her Aunt Gloria, which is sweet of them."
"Hi, every one. It's so good, to see every one again." Emma went and hugged everyone. "Uncle Alan. Aunt Alex. Congratulations. That's great." She, smiled softly, at them, and hugged them tightly.
"Hi every one. Look who we have. Spencer and Emma. Oh, my. Harris. She, went over to him, and hugged him tightly. "Hello. You, must be, Hope. It's so nice, to meet you." She, hugged her tightly.
"Hi, dad. Hi, Aunt Alex." She, hugged them tightly. "Jason you really need, to get Mary some help." She, looked at him, and giggled. "I'm here, Mary."
Jason nodded his head and smiled softly at her. "Of course you can hold her, Kristina." He looked at Carly. "Carly, honey. I am giving you to your Aunt Kristina right now." He handed her to her. Then saw Alan and Alex come in. "Don't be silly, Dad. We completely understand." He hugged them. "Plus, you know that you could have brought her here."
Alan finally came in with Alex and smiled softly at everyone. "So sorry for coming here late. We got your text but Jillian wasn't going to sleep. We just got her to sleep now and the nanny is with her." He hugged everybody.
Jason picked up Carly as he held her close to him. He heard Ben and chuckled softly. "Here, I thought I was bad by calling, Uncle Tony, Uncle Sheffield." He smirked.
