SCARS AND BRUISES II fate : winx saga

sisters

"A sibling for free may not be a gift."

POV Olivia:

"I can't believe they would let him stay here", Andreas mumbles angrily next to me. He hasn't changed all these years. He's still the same hothead. Saul and I used to name him hothead. Back then, we've had fun or at least thought it'd be fun. 

It's a lot more serious than I've thought. Trying to comfort Andreas, I take his hand into mine as we go back to the appartment. After I've opened and closed the door behind us, Andreas wraps his strong arms around my upper body and places his hands in my hair. 

"I'm so glad that you're here, Liv." "Of course", I whisper back and actually enjoy this moment. Andreas and I have been so in love. I couldn't turn around as soon as I saw him.

"What have you two decided for?", I ask the two men who arrived in the bar about half an hour ago and still have not ordered a drink. "A beer for me, please", the younger one of them tells me smiling. I'm pretty sure his mom is proud of him. He looks like a friendly and well behaved young man. Plus, he's hot. I can't deny it. 

"That took you half an hour?", I reply cheekily but grin and turn to his friend, "And for you?" "What do you recommend?" Usually, I hate these questions. But these two men seem so interesting that I'm in for a cheeky conversation. "Let me surprise you", I reply and turn around to make their drinks.

"What are you thinking about, love?", Andreas asks me softly as he loosens his grip around me to sit down with me in the living room. "The first time that we've met", I tell him and lay my hand on his feeling close to him this evening. 

"We're going to be a family again", Andreas promises me quietly. "Sky, Scar, you and I", I whisper looking at the picture of when we the two were born. They may be twins and look quite like each other, but they behave so differently, even when they were younger. 

"Olivia", Andreas sighs so I look at him worriedly, "I've raised Beatrix. I can't let her down no. You don't know her and I understand that but she's like a daughter to me." "Scar and Sky have to resign themselves to having a new sibling then", I say and chuckle about my own words afterwards. 

What Andreas did to me, taking away our children and leave, was hard and I still have to find a way to deal with being betrayed like this. But I trust him. I know he's not done it to hurt me. After getting to know Rosalind, I know that there's a whole story behind it all and Andreas would tell me about it as soon as he can.

"Can I talk to you for a moment?", I ask Beatrix the next day before their school day starts. "I don't know why Andreas doesn't like Scar and Sky but it's also not my fault", she shrugs and I smile at her. I know that she's not right. Andreas and I have been as close as many years before so I could tell if he didn't like his own children. Beatrix is hurt and feels lonely. 

"Andreas and I want to spend time with our childreen. We want to finally have the family that we've always dreamed of. Scar and Sky may be our biological children, but Andreas has raised you so you belong to this family. I'd be glad if you'd be a part of it." 

Beatrix looks at me confused and I assume that she would snap at me because she doesn't want to admit that she only wants Andreas to appreciate her so I call Scar over when she passes by. "I hope it's just a coincidence that you stand here with her, mom", Scar immediately says skeptically. 

Poor children, they suffer from our mistakes. "Indeed, it's not a coincidence. Your dad and I want to have the family that we've always dreamed of which involves you, Sky and Beatrix. Beatrix may not be your biological sister but Andreas raised her. She belongs to us", I make clear so that Scar knows that I'm serious. 

"Fine, talk to her. That doesn't mean that I have to spend time with her", Scar shrugs. "Luckily", Beatrix counters back and I give both girls a serious look. "It's not going to happen, mom! We've just got you and dad back and you expect us to share our parents with a rat who's killed someone and let Rosalind free? That's ridiculous."

"As much as I know, you and your friends have let her out", Beatrix corrects Scar, "I haven't done anything to you. I tried being friends with you but you just hate me for no reason." "No reason?", Scar scoffs obviously feeling attacked, "First of all, my brother and I both hate you. You've manipulated Riven, Dane and Bloom. You're the reason why-" 

"Okay, enough", I interrupt Scar sharply making her look at me shocked, "I don't care what's happened before. It's obvious that Andreas cares about you three. So like it or not, you two are going to deal with other. I haven't spent many years without my children just to get back for some family troubles. We're going to be there for each other." 

"But mom-" "No, Scar. You two are going to be sisters. End of the discussion." I quickly turn around so I don't hear the girls discussing anymore. Sooner or later, they would find a way to like each other. 

"Don't you think you were a little too strict with her?", I suddenly hear Saul's voice next to me. "I'm back and you're free and that's the first sentence that you say to me?", I reply and stop walking to look at him. 

He looks good just like when we first met. Saul always finds a way to make me feel like there's something between us that we've never spoken of. Well, we've talked to each other about us already, but Andreas and I just got engaged and found out that I'm pregnant with twins. It was too late for Saul and I. 

"I'm glad that you're back", Saul tells me and grins, "But I think you were too strict with Scar." "You're already annoying me", I laugh enjoying the fact that I could see him again. "I have to go to my lesson, but I'd be glad if we talk in the afternoon", Saul lets me know so I nod. "If class is so much more important", I call after him jokingly. What if it's not too late?
