Do Us Part

32. "Welcome home, besties"

Chapter 32

Sam

I was tired after leaving the hospital. I just got home and am now heading towards the main house.

And as much as I hate to admit it, Henry's words were ever ringing in my head.

I know I have moved on from the hurt I felt when Natalie left me but I can admit to myself that it has weighed on me all these years.

We were so happy together.

I do not still know why Natalie left me and hell, I have asked myself that question everyday that I woke up to an empty side of the bed.

I opened my door and headed in. Shutting the door, I found the light switch and turned it on.

When I turned around, I froze.

"Surprise." They both shouted. My eyes instantly brimmed in tears and my lips widened in laughter at the same here.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"Ah..this is not the welcome I was envisioning, man," Jack says and I chuckled.

"Don't I know it? Has he fallen out of love with us already?"

"As if I would ever. I laughed and they both smiled. "Oh come here," I said and hurried to hug both of my best friends. I heard them chuckle as each of them kept an arm around me.

"I missed you guys." I cooed and pulled away.

"We missed you too. " Jane said.

*Not me. I was forced to come back." Jack remarks and I rolled my eyes.

"How did you guys get here so soon?"

"Ahh.." Just then, I heard a really loud sound of a bottle breaking.

At that moment, I needed no soothsayer to tell me who it was.

"Isaac," We chorused and laughed.

I half hugged Jane again. "Oh. I missed you, my love."

"I missed you more, mi amor." She replies, rubbing her swollen belly and I kissed her forehead.

"How's the baby?"

"Always kicking. I'm afraid he's going to take after his father."

"What? I hope not. He better take after me instead." I frowned.

"That's what I said." She matters with an equally serious expression. Then, we both laughed. 

"Ah. Why did I even come back? You two clearly do not need me. All you need is each other."

"You are not wrong," I replied and kept my arm around Jane.

"Hi, bro." I heard Isaac say and we stared at him.

"What the hell?"

"What? " He asks almost innocently and then follows my gaze to the robe he has on.

"Oh, this?" He placed his hand on his chest. " Looks good on me, huh?"

I sighed, trying to hide my anger. "I'm going to change my passcode. Again."

"Why bother? You know Maria is just going to tell me again. Right?"

"Not if I don't tell her."

"As if you could hide anything from Maria. Even at this age,  She practically buys your underwear. That's just sad." He teased.

I hate that he wasn't wrong

"You're lucky that I'm in a good mood." I gritted my teeth as I replied to him.
