Caught Off Guard

Willed

💔Aria Pov💔

It's been a month and three weeks since the incident and it still felt like yesterday.

His entire family was here and everybody was hurting, jade cried sending up her pressure and was admitted in the hospital for three days, mom tried each day to be strong  for all of us but she was slowly losing it.

The doctor called two weeks ago to let us know that Theo was showing no sign of improvement and they will have to take him off life support.

His brothers got him transferred to G-west where they paid daily for him to stay on their life machine

Destiny gave birth a few weeks ago two days after the incident and mom was called for the baby a few days later after she was told that Destiny committed suicide.

She left a note saying how sorry she was but she couldn't look herself in the mirror another day after what she did, she said she can't live with the scars on her face and in her heart. She apologised to me in her note and asked me to name the baby for her and to take care of her, she even begged me not to hate her. She also willed all her asset to her daughter and asked us to tell Theo how sorry she was about everything.

Mom sent Davia for the baby after receiving the news but Davia didn't want to go so I went for her along with Delano wife Tiffany on Theo's jet.

The first time I held the baby i fell in love with her, she was beautiful, she looks nothing like her mother but like her father.

I cried looking at the innocent baby I wanted Theo to get rid off, I asked God to forgive me and I vowed to love, protect and cherish her like she is my own.

It wasn't easy knowing how she came about but it's wasn't her fault either so I will never hold that against her.

Signing her release paper I name her

Thea Purity Malcolm

And for one month and two weeks I've been caring for her like I did Ava.

I took a leave from work to take care of each of them and to visit their father in between.

Yesterday I received a call from Theo lawyer saying he wanted to see the family and here we all sit waiting for him, Ava was asleep in her room and I held Thea in my arms feeding her her bottle.

"Wah him could a wa si wi fa though?" Chad asked sipping on a glass of whisky

Everyone was on edge then the bell at the gate went off

Delano went to check who it was and then walked back inside with a man in white button up shirt and black pants and a brief case in his hand

"Good afternoon, my name is Warren Buffett and I'm Theodore lawyer, I'm sorry for the short notice but I was told a month and three weeks ago to do this"

"Told by who? to do what?" Mom asked

"By Theodore, he asked me to call Aria James if anything should go wrong with him and to meet with all of you" he said after Delano offered him a seat

"About what?" Chad asked

I watched the man sighed before he continues, I held Thea on my chest for her to burp.

"His will" the lawyer finally said

"Let me stop you right there sir, Theo is not dead he is alive and you will not read his will because he is alive. Nobody here wants to hear anything about his will we just want him to wake up and come home and he will" I told him getting upset

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset any of you and I know this is not a good time but I'm only doing my job and carrying out the wishes of Theodore" the lawyer said

"Did you say his wishes?" Mom asked

"Yes mam I did" he replied

"If it's his wishes I want to hear it" mom started crying

"Mom!" Jade cried

"What if this is the last thing we heard from him" she wept and Delano move to comfort her

"He is coming home Mom don't say that, have faith please" I cried

"Aria baby I'm afraid I'm running out of faith each passing day"

"Mr Warren please continue" mom said wiping her eyes

"I do not want to be apart of this, I'm sorry" I got up with sleeping Thea making my way upstairs

"But you are the biggest part of this will Aria, it concern you too" the lawyer called after me

"I don't care I won't sit and listen to you sharing his assets like he is dead I'm sorry" I continued up the stairs taking Thea to Ava's room

I place her in her crib and checked on Ava before leaving their room and went to Theo's room.

There I took his Creed cologne and spray some on my pillow and went to lay down on it.

This is his favourite cologne and mine also and smelling it made me feel close to him somehow.

Laying there I cried myself to sleep for a zillion time since the incident.

Everybody seems to be giving up on him but I can't, I can't loose him, if I loose him I will surely loose myself and I have to be strong for Ava and Thea.

Sometime later I woke up and went to check on my babies but they were not there, I left their room and was heading downstairs

"Mom and aunty Whitney has them" Jade said to me walking up the stairs

"Okay" I replied

"I was coming to check on you" she told me

"I admire your strength, I wish I was as strong as you" she cried and I hugged her

"I only appear strong but deep down I'm not jade worst I know it was my fault-"

"Aria stop it, I'm tired of hearing you blaming yourself, it's not your fault you wouldn't know that this would have happen and your the glue that is  holding this family together so if you break we all are going to fall apart" she said

"I don't want to break J but I can't loose him I will not survive it" I cried

"I can't loose him either and we won't" she whispered before pulling apart

"Here" she handed me a thick blue folder like thing

"What is this?" I asked taking it

"Let's go to your room" she said

I followed her to the room and she sat on the bed

"It's a copy of his will" she told me

I tossed in on the bed next to her

"Jade I don't want to read it I'm not interested, I said that earlier"

"You need to Aria, he willed almost  everything to you, there is a plaza in your name with a hair saloon, clothes store and so-"

"Jade please stop, can you respect my wishes that I don't want to hear about his will" I cut her off

"I'm going to take a shower" I told her walking to the bathroom

I locked myself in the bathroom, I stripped my clothes off, turned on the shower and sit under the running water and cried my heart out willing Theo to wake the fuck up.

I can't do this alone

He needs to wake up and come home

Aria, Thea and I needs him.
