Ella's POV:

This was hitting Dylan hard. I don't think he had any idea of how to handle it. One minute he would be holding Avril. The next he would leave, and I wouldn't see him for days.

Lucas returned an hour ago. He was unpacking his stuff in our bedroom. Our bedroom. He was talking a lot about his trip. He wouldn't stop talking.
"Man! We had a blast! I swear I saw a shark!" He hollered.
"Mhmm." Is the only thing I said while my head nodded back and forth. I stood folding clothes.

He stopped talking when the doorbell rang.
"Who's that?" He asked instantly.
"I don't know?" I slowly inched my way to the door.

I opened. Dylan was standing in the doorway.
"Can I see my da-" Lucas came to the door. "Can I see my dashing nephew now?" He asked.
"Ella? Who's this?" Lucas asked.
"This is my brother, Dylan. Well kinda. We took him in until he found a new foster family, but I still think of him as my brother." I rub my arm, nervous as hell. I had no idea how I came up with that so fast.
"Oh! Nice to meet you Dylan! I'm Ella's-"
"He's my boyfriend." I finished.
"Right. Logan is over here." Lucas responded.

Lucas showed Dylan to the nursery. I breathed a sigh of relief. I knew the weight wasn't lifted off my shoulders yet. I soon follow them to the room.

Dylan is holding Logan. Smiles and laughters fill my ears. Dylan is happy, or so his face seems. I let it roll of my skin. He is acting around Lucas.

He then picks Avril up. His hands are shaking. He is nervous. Lucas could tell too.
"Hey! She's just a girl. They're not all that different." Lucas jokes.
"Yeah. I know."
Lucas looks down at Avril. Her in his arms. He smiles.
"I love that they are half of me. I love that they both look like me. Avril Especially. I see me in her everyday." He says.
I snap. I couldn't take it no longer. My mouth opens. Everything just pops right out.
"Avril is not yours!" I yell shaking. I cover my mouth.

He looked at me. He looked like his heart just got broken into tiny pieces. His cheeks get red of embarrassment.
"What?" He whispers.
