Let's spend this life together

Pleading for forgiveness

Melissa waited with a shudder for the twins to return. The girl did not dare to answer the incessant calls. All she could do was pray for her own life and that the twins would be able to understand it correctly. She was not going to participate in Jessica's crazy antics, just involuntary participation as if she was a naive sheep. It was rather difficult for Melissa to admit to herself that she liked Less as a person, a girl, as a person. Like Laurent's mother-to-be. Alessandra gave so much love to Laurent and never forgot about Larry. The feeling that they were one family never left Melissa, and the girl strove to be the same support for Larry. She began to notice the people around her, and not just herself. And all that has happened now is the last thing they all need.

The twins burst into the apartment rather unequally and Melissa still could not say the necessary words out loud. All she could do was chew her lips nervously and wrinkle her fingers. Larry frowned at her. A painful scream from their bedroom with Less made Larry and Melissa flinch. The girl broke down, sinking to the floor. Laurent immediately lifted her painfully against the wall. He was angry. Larry had a hard time pulling his twin away from Melissa. If he kills her, they won't get answers.

- Where is she - Laurent growled through clenched teeth - Where?

- She ... she ... it's not my fault

- Melissa - Laurent hissed, holding himself back as best he could. The walls of the apartment are tooth thin, it does not need witnesses ahead of time.

- One of the brothers took her. Less accidentally overheard Jess confessing to me on a video link about the setup with a photo from the club and was too worried. I didn't want to participate in this, I didn't know why she needed those photos

- How can I find her - Laurent calmed down a bit, he took out his phone in readiness to dial the desired number.

- I don't know which of the brothers took it. I did not see. She said that she could not live with me yet, packed her things, and left. She told me to tell you everything myself, and to have Laurent call any brother, they will tell you where she is. Less doesn't want me to know.

Laurent grabbed his suitcase and headed for the exit, looking for Allesandro's number on the phone.

- Laurent, am I with you?

- No. I need time to make sure she's okay. I think you can start moving to your new home. I think by the middle of the process everything will be settled. Larry nodded, hugging his brother tightly. He desperately wanted to follow Laurent, but the twin was right. They need to figure it out on their own.

Alessandro quickly sent in the address of the apartment where his sister was now living and the code for the apartment, electronic keys, a pretty handy thing.

Laurent went into a dark corridor and moved at random, he was in this apartment for the first time and knew absolutely nothing about the layout. At the end of the corridor, he noticed a faint light and walked towards it. It turned out to be a fairly spacious bedroom in light colors. The love of his life was sleeping on the big bed, the pillow on his side pressed under his stomach. He gently sank onto the bed behind her and just as neatly hugged her, burying his nose in her neck.

- Mmm ... Laurent, - Less moaned weakly. The girl did not think that she would miss so much.

- Hello, my love. Like you? As children?

- Good. I was a little stressed, and my stomach hurt badly, but Sano took me to the doctor and everything was fine. They told me to rest more.

- I'm glad that you and the kids are okay. I miss you. Especially for you.

- Do not lie. I look like a whale. I'm so big. And all the time I want to write, it seems these pranksters decided to play basketball on my bladder. Less turned around, pressing her nose against Laurent's chest. Laurent put his hands on a rather large belly and stroked lightly, urging the children to calm down. Their mom needs peace, for the common good.

Everything turned out to be not so bad. Alessandra slowly recovered while still driving around her facilities. But each time it became more difficult for her to get behind the wheel. The expectant mother stubbornly refused the help of the brothers and Laurent.

Help came from where no one was expecting. A couple of weeks after the incident with Jessica, Melissa found out from Laurent when she could apologize. The call to Laurent was not easy for her, and the man did not listen to her from the first time to the end. It was a very smart decision to apologize. And a rather long conversation between Mel, Larry, and Laurent proved that the girl was not to blame for that situation. A set of unrelated actions led to unnecessary drama.

So Melissa sat in the car outside Less's house and waited for her to drive to work.

- Less, wait!

- Melissa? What are you doing here?

- I want to explain everything and apologize. - Less stubbornly walked by - Please, just listen to me. Less exhaled heavily and got into Melissa's car. They talked for about an hour, and Melissa told everything she knew. And talking with the twins. And she even admitted that she liked Less and that she never wanted to offend her so much. "And Larry said you needed a driver. And I agree with him. We all agree that you are too big to be a driver.

- And what do you suggest?

- Well, as an atonement, let me drive you.

- Okay. They won't leave me alone. Better you than everyone else. They treat me like a fragile vase.

The girls were at the end of the day when Melissa took them for milkshakes and they stood in a pleasant coolness in the parking lot of a shopping center. Not many people knew about the life of Less before all this, except for her brothers. Not many knew what she went through. And somehow Melissa entered this small circle of people.

- Why are you so ... afraid of this pregnancy?

- I apologize?

- I saw your eyes in the mirror is, when you look at your stomach. How your hands tremble when you run your hands over it. And I saw your twin hugging you when he also saw this trembling of your hands. He seemed to know why she was showing up.

Less swallowed hard and closed her eyes, leaning her head back against the seat headrest.

- Several years ago, I got married out of stupidity. I thought I was in love. I was a fool, not in love. Over time, he began to mistreat me, and I did nothing. Even his brothers did not tell. I sincerely believed that I deserved it. My ex-husband didn't want children. And I got pregnant. I waited until the last so that he would not force an abortion. But this bastard did it his way. When he found out, it was too late to have an abortion. And then for the first time, I fought for my life and the life of my child. But I lost when he pushed me down the stairs. The child died, too hard blows to the stomach. - Less swallowed tears - I was told that there is almost no chance of getting pregnant again.

- Alessandra ...

- Yes. When I saw two stripes on the dough, I couldn't believe my eyes. I believed it only after the fourth test. Although ... - Less ran her hand over her stomach - I still do not believe that I can be so happy. That they love me. And that I will become a mother of two kids at once. - Less was already openly crying, and Mel tried to calm her down. They both cried as they hugged in the car. Rubbing tears down their face, the girls looked at each other quietly laughing, gradually their laughter turned into loud laughter.

They both had puffy eyes and smeared make-up, and their nose was pale pink from rubbing with a handkerchief.

- You will be a wonderful mother - Melissa said with a laugh, smiling broadly - You are the best wife for Laurent, and he simply does not deserve you. He prays for you. And I'm sorry you had to leave me.

- Thanks. I think you also have chances with Larry. Of course, you have a complete mess there, but you are worth each other. I was lonely without you.

- Let's go home? Let's surprise the guys and order some junk and fatty food?

- You will explain why we are so shabby.

- I deserve it. Melissa started the car and turned the steering wheel to make a U-turn.
