Insecurity

Chapter 21

Ella's POV:

4 months later

Time was going by way too fast. My babies were four months old now. Both of them weighed about twelve pounds. Avril could sit up with help while Logan is still mastering it.

Logan was sitting in his little bouncy vibrating chair. I sat in front of him as he talked to me. He was cooing and saying vowel sounds. I talked back to him.
"Yeah! Yeah sweetie! No way!" I said.

The doctor said that it was good interaction for the babies. Avril was on the floor, on her stomach, playing with a toy in her hands.

She puts a lot of things in her mouth. I swear she could fit her whole fist in her mouth. She talks to me too. Both of them do.

Lucas was at work. He worked at a school as a janitor. We needed the money. My parents were at work also. So it was just me and the babies.

All of a sudden, I heard a knock on the door. I got up from the floor and walked to the door. I opened it. Standing there was Dylan.
"D-d-d-Dylan. What a surprise!" I said.
"I know. I know. But when you broke up with me, I was heart broken. I started dating other girl's but none of them were like you. Can we try again? I know you're dating Lucas but maybe we could test the waters, and you could choose between us?" He pleaded.
Then Logan started crying. My heart started racing.
"Who's that?" He asked.
I said nothing.
"Who's that Ella?" He repeated.
"A baby." I said stating the obvious.
"Your baby?"
"Y-y-yes."

I left the doorway unattended and went to Logan. I picked him up and patted his back. Dylan let himself in. He kept looking at Avril and Logan.
"Are-are-are they mine?" He asked.
"I don't know." I cried.
"Do the math Ella!"
"I had sex with both of you around the same time. I don't know who's they are." I replied.

He paced back and forth thinking things through. His hand was on his forehead.
"We could do a blood test." He finished.
"Lucas would question, and I'm never going to tell him what happened between us." I replied.
"We could do it in secret."
"He would notice the bandaid from the pricking or something."
"Send him on a trip or something! God damn it! If these children are mine, I want to know!" He yelled.

I walked up to him. I put my hands on his shoulders. I looked him straight in the eyes.
"We'll figure this out. Together." I replied.
