“Yeah, they’re family in their own way.Besides, we’ve got so much to catch up on, and you’re not going to leave anything out.I know you’ve been going through a lot, and I wanted to ask you so many times, but I didn’t want you to freak out or worry.I know you always put so much on your plate, even when you don’t need to.”
Maeve looked at her sister and couldn’t help but frown.“I am so sorry.”
“You don’t need to be sorry, not at all.I get it.It has been hard for you.After Mom and Dad died, you had to be the mom and dad, and let’s face it, we hate to admit it, but even when they were alive, you were the same.Mom wasn’t the one that taught me about sanitary napkins, it was you.You gave me the sex talk.”
“You’re not mad?”
“What do I have to be mad about?You’re happy, aren’t you?”
Maeve nodded.“I am.”
“So, that’s all that matters.You’re happy, and that makes me happy.Do you have feelings for him?”Eden asked.
Maeve pressed her lips together before nodding her head.
Eden let out a little squeal.“This is a huge deal.”
They both giggled.“This feels so good to just talk,” Maeve said.
“I had no idea this is what you were keeping from me.I thought you wanted Razor and I to move out of the house.I know it has been so long since we’ve had a guy living with us.The last one was Dad.”
“I don’t want you and Razor to move out.I figured you two were looking for a new place to stay and I was the one cramping your style.”She hated how much it hurt.
Eden frowned.“What?Hell, no, we’re not looking at different houses.Razor doesn’t mind living with you at all.We’re both very happy here, and there’s no other place I’d want to be.We go to the club from time to time to give you space.”
Tears filled Maeve’s eyes, and she couldn’t help throwing her arms around Eden and holding her so tightly.
“Thank you.”
“Why are you thanking me?For giving you space?”
“No, for being my sister and being amazing.I love you so damn much.”It felt so good to catch up and finally get all the crap brewing between them off their chests.

Several days later, Doc was in his office going over some paperwork when Razor stepped in.He held a file and looked pretty grim.
“Are you sure about this?”Razor asked.
“Tell me what’s inside.”
“Why is this so important to you?”Razor asked.
Doc didn’t have to answer to anyone.He had his reasons for feeling irritated over the situation.However, seeing as Razor also agreed he would remove the image of Maeve naked from his mind, he kind of owed him.
Eden had accepted him with open arms.At least, when she came downstairs for something to eat.Everything seemed to be going good between the two sisters.The love the two shared and that bond was important to both of them.
“Because call me old-fashioned, but I believe a guy should take care of his mistakes.”
“You think Wilson should kill his wife and kid?”
Doc frowned.“Fuck, no.I think that piece of shit should walk out, pay most of his wage for raising that kid, and learn that where you stick your dick is important.You give a woman a kid, you take responsibility, end of discussion.”
Razor winced.“He even got paternity tests done on his daughter.Everything you asked for is in there.”
He got up from behind his desk, rounded it, and leaned against the front, taking the file from Razor and started to read all the documents inside.There were notes to explain what each document meant.
“So based on this, he’s trying to get her to relinquish her rights, only he’s attempting to state she walked out of the house.”
