Escape (UNDERGOING EDITING)

Hell

"No Michael, we are not naming our kids Michael and Michelle."Caitlyn said as Ashton giggled. "Come on! They are reasonable names! I could have said Michael and Michael but I was being considerate on the behalf of your daughter. Even though she would be named after the best person on earth, kids could potentially make fun of her for such a masculine."He said making us all laugh.

We were all eating breakfast on the couch and discussing baby names with Ashton and Caitlyn. This morning I woke up early ready to take care of a hung over Luke. I gave him two asprin and a cup of water to wake up to. I went down stairs to make breakfast for everyone and talked to my dad for a while before he went to work. We planned on having another family day tomorrow which worked out well because I had scheduled a doctor appointment for Luke the day after tomorrow.

When Luke came downstairs, I was in the middle of cooking the bacon for everyone. He wrapped his arms around me from the back and whined about his hangover. I, being the evil person I am, stopped cooking for a brief second, and took two pans off the hooks that were hanging above the island.

I began banging them together to wake everyone up and to annoy Luke. He covered his ears with his hands and ran away into the living room. I laughed and continued. By the time I finished cooking, everyone had woken up, and made their way into the kitchen. After we all filled out plates, we moved to the living room to eat to talk about the babies. "Obviously you're going to name them Calum and Calum."He said sassily.

"How about Grace?"I suggested making all conversations come to halt.  Heads turned to Caitlyn and Ashton who looked like they were actually contemplating my name idea. "What do you think?"Ashton asked putting a hand on Caitlyn's now fairly large stomach. "I think it's really cute. Let's do it."She nodded.

"Really?"I asked surprised. "Yeah. That's Ashton's mum's middle name."Caitlyn said. "Oh yeah, did you ever end up telling all of the parents?"Luke asked from beside me. His second plate of food was gone and he was currently on his third. He seemed to be feeling better after eating though.

"We told Ashton's mom a few months ago before the whole 'Chase' thing happened. She was actually ecstatic and said she couldn't wait for the twins to come."Caitlyn said. "That's great that she reacted so well. What about you parents though?"Olivia asked sitting between Michael and Calum on the couch to the right of the one Luke and I are sharing.

Caitlyn's sighed and I knew that was the wrong thing to say. Olivia's face immediately was plastered with guilt. "You dont hav-"
"It's fine."She said interrupting her quietly. She looked to Ashton and he nodded. He took her hand and intertwined their fingers. "We facetimed them a couple of days ago to tell them about the twins.

And, they said that they didn't want anything to do with her. That she was a disgrace and a disappointment."Ashton said grimacing. "Which is not true in any way possible."He added kissing her softly. She smiled weakly and suddenly I realized that maybe it wasn't just the hormones that had been causing her to be so emotional. "They also said they wouldn't support her in any kind of way. Her parents have originally been sending money to her since she moved here. But they said Friday would be the last piece of them that they would ever send her."Ashton said bringing Caitlyn close to him.

"Fuck Caitlyn. I'm so sorry."Michael said setting his plate on the coffee table. He rested his forearms on his thighs and folded his hands. "Don't start that. Pity is the last thing I want. We thought we should tell you so you didn't find out on your own somehow and be upset we didn't tell you. You don't need to apologize for something that isn't your fault."She said bitterly tearing up. "We're saying sorry because of the trouble and pain that they're causing you. Not because we pity you. We're a family remember? When one of us is hurting, all of us are."Luke said firmly taking my hand and squeezing it gently.
