"Mom…"
I was so shocked to hear Lily call Janet ‘Mom’ that I froze.
Janet looked up and met my eyes, a gentle understanding in her expression.
She placed a hand on Lily’s shoulder and said, "Oh sweetie, Mom and Dad are just really upset right now. They’ll calm down soon, I promise."
Lily looked over at me, then back at Janet.
"But… why can’t my mom be you? I like you. And I like Dad, too. Why can’t we all just live together?"
Janet’s eyes met mine again, and I could tell she was searching for the right thing to say.
"Aunt Janet is your aunt, Lily," she explained slowly.
"And I love you very much. But your dad and I, we’re not ready for that kind of commitment yet. But we both love you, and we both want to be with you. That’s why we live here together."
Lily nodded, taking this in.
"So… Mom and Dad are mad at each other right now? But they still love me?"
Janet smiled gently.
"Yes, baby. Mom and Dad love you more than anything in the world. And they’re going to work through their problems, okay?"
She hugged Lily tight, holding her there for a moment against her chest.
Lily seemed to absorb the comfort of her aunt’s embrace, the tension in her small body beginning to ease.
After a moment, she pulled back and looked up at Janet.
"I love you, Aunt Janet," she said softly.
"I love you, too, baby," Janet replied, smiling down at her.
I took a step closer, my eyes fixed on where Janet and Lily were sitting on the couch.
My steps were hesitant but determined.
Lily’s small frame was still pressed against Janet’s side, her dark hair a stark contrast to her aunt’s pale skin.
Her big green eyes tracked my movement, but she didn’t move away from Janet’s protective embrace.
I could feel the tightness in my throat as I lowered myself to my knees in front of them.
"Come here, sweetheart," I whispered, opening my arms wide.
Lily glanced up at Janet, who gave her a reassuring nod.
Then, slowly, she untangled herself from Janet’s arms and stepped into mine.
I wrapped my arms around her slender frame, breathing in the familiar scent of strawberry shampoo from her hair.
"Mommy loves you so much," I murmured into her hair.
Lily pulled back slightly, her eyes searching mine.
"Then why can't you and Daddy just be happy together?" she asked, her voice tinged with confusion.
I hesitated, glancing at Janet for support before answering, "Sometimes grown-ups have problems that take time to fix, but it doesn't change how much we love you."
Janet reached for Lily again, her hazel eyes soft with concern.
My daughter’s shoulders trembled as she stepped back from my embrace, tears welling up.
The family photos on the wall behind us seemed to mock us with their perfect moments, captured in happier times.
Lily turned and ran to Janet, burying her face in that cream sweater.
Janet’s arms encircled her protectively, one hand stroking Lily’s hair while the other rubbed circles on her back.
I stood frozen, my arms empty, as my daughter’s muffled sobs filled our living room.
Janet looked at me over Lily's head, her voice gentle but firm.
"We need to talk, all of us," she said softly.
"Maybe it's time we figure out a way to make this work for her sake."
I nodded, my body heavy with exhaustion.
I sank onto the couch beside them, my eyes still fixed on the family photos that seemed to stare down at us.
Janet sat beside me, still holding Lily with one arm.
Lily’s sobs had quieted to hiccups against Janet’s sweater.
My sister-in-law reached across the space between us, her warm fingers finding mine.
The touch sent a familiar spark through me, one I’d been trying to ignore for far too long.
When she squeezed my hand, I didn’t pull away.
I stared at our joined hands, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the room.
Janet’s free hand reached for her phone on the side table, Lily still curled against her side.
The family photos loomed behind us, their smiling faces seeming distant and unreal.
My fingers trembled against Janet’s palm, but I couldn't bring myself to pull away.
As she scrolled through her contacts with her free hand, I noticed how the cream sweater had darkened with Lily's tears.
Janet's thumb paused on the screen, then moved again.
It stopped at Mark’s contact.
My stomach tightened.
Her fingers typed out a message, asking him to come home early.
Lily had fallen asleep against Janet’s shoulder, her breathing steady and calm.
The late afternoon sun cast long shadows through the living room windows, making the family photos on the wall seem darker, more serious.
Janet’s hand remained warm in mine, her grip gentle but secure.
When her phone buzzed with Mark’s reply, I felt her fingers tense slightly.
She showed me the screen - he’d be here in twenty minutes.
Janet looked at me, her eyes searching mine.
"We need to tell him everything," she whispered, her voice barely audible.
I nodded, my heart pounding, knowing this was the moment that would change everything.
