For Better Or For Worse (rewrite/ Continuation)

Chapter 30

The next morning,

Gail and Elijah were on their way to Phoenix and Romeo just left for work, leaving Kaylee, Tracee and Michael at the penthouse having breakfast and waiting for Ethan who could arrive in the next half hour to start with the first layer of paint, the basic layer where all other layers will be add on

"Who's the guy again?" Tracee asked

"Ethan" Michael answered

"Is he from New York?" Tracee asked

"I don't know I didn't ask" Michael answered shrugging his shoulders and went to open the door since the doorbell went

"I'm an half hour too early, I'll come back later if it's not ok" Ethan mentioned

"No it's ok, come in" Michael answered making room for Ethan who carried two buckets of the basic paint and the different kind of brushes and paint rollers on a toolbelt around his waist

"Ethan from painted by Ethan?" Tracee asked making her way to the nursery

"Yes, terrible name I know" Ethan answered

"No it's brilliant, it's simply right to point and easy to remember" Tracee mentioned

"True" Ethan admitted

"If you want coffee or something let us know ok?" Tracee told him

"Thank you" Ethan replied and opened the first bucket of basic paint

"If you need anything or have questions just ask ok?" Tracee mentioned

"Ok" Ethan nodded

An hour later,

While Michael was having a meeting over the phone with some of the charity project people Tracee was drawing and Kaylee was reading her book and making tea for everyone

The sound of shattering glass and a faint sound of what sounded like a 'Oh my god' followed by an 'ma'm are you ok?' made Tracee put her sketching book down and make her way to the hallway finding her mother on the floor next to the broken tea cup and Ethan next to her

"What happened?" Tracee panicked

"I don't know she just had this look of shock and mumbled something before she fainted and dropped the tea" Ethan answered honestly

"Mom?" Tracee said kneeling down on the floor next to her and gently shook her shoulder

"Maybe this'll work" Ethan told her and took his bottle of water and gently held it against kaylee's face

"I....You..." kaylee gasped looking at Ethan and reached out to touch his face "You're real" she mumbled

"I think I'll call a doctor" Tracee mentioned

"No I'm ok" Kaylee mentioned "You're just like I imagined, only taller" she smiled at Ethan

"You fantasized about what our painter would look like?" Tracee frowned at her mother

"No, don't you see it?" Kaylee replied "He looks just like your father when he was younger" she continued

"Um ma'm" Ethan frowned removing her hand from his face "I think you are mistaken, I am not adopted" he told her

"A mother knows when her child is in front of her" Kaylee sniffed

"Mom please, let's get you back to the couch and leave Ethan alone ok?" Tracee mentioned
