His Ex-Wife

Chapter Eleven.

Walking more into the venue I come to a pair of huge double glass doors and I can see Jessica with Emily and Robert, with little Seb running around by their feet.

"Hey are you okay? Courtney told us it got pretty tense out there." Emily ask as soon as I reach them.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I didn't know what to expect when I finally saw him, but I guess I should've expected that."

"I'm sorry about that, I told him not to cause a scene here." Robert comments.

"Its alright, although I am sorry that it happened here at your rehearsal."

"Don't worry about it honestly, at least it happened here at the rehearsal and not at the actual wedding." Emily answers.

I sigh. "Well anyway when are we actually rehearsing?" I ask trying to just move on from the uncomfortable conversation.

Emily gives me a knowing look but still goes on to answer, "Actually we where just going to call everyone in to start."

"Okay, I'll be here with Seb and Courtney then." She nods and takes Roberts hand going to the lobby to get the rest of the wedding party and the few close family members.

"So how are you really?" Courtney comes closer with Seb settled on her hip and playing with her hair.

I take a second to answer, "Honestly I'm better than I thought I would be. I thought I would be so devastated seeing him again but honestly I'm just angry."

"I know that's my brother and everything but sometimes he can be a real douchewaffle." she says with a serious face covering Sebastians ears.

I can't help but laugh, "Yes you are totally right." Courtney just joins in on the laughter.

Seconds later the rest of the wedding party comes in and we start the rehearsal.

~*~

We are at an Italian restaurant called Bellisima with the rest of the wedding party having the rehearsal dinner. The whole evening I spent my time avoiding Tristan as much as possible not even looking in his direction and apparently he was doing the same thing because I barely saw him the whole evening.

The few times I did see him through he was either glaring in my direction or having a heated discussion with Courtney.

Not only did I want to avoid him but I also wanted to avoid another encounter with my parents, who where also sending glares my way.

All in all it has been a very stressful evening, but at least I had my little man here to distract me if even for a little bit.

I was literally just waiting for the evening to end so that I could finally go back to the hotel and unwind.

"Mama! Mama! Voglio la pasta con il pollo! E anche il dolce! Cannoli!" Sebastian tells me enthusiastically.

"Yes baby, I'll order you that, but remember you have to use your inside voice, okay?" I remind him.

"Okay mama, I'm sorry. I forgot."

"It's okay baby." I give him a kiss on the forehead.

"He speaks Italian." I hear my mother's voice from across the table.

I look up and notice that both of my parents and even Tristian is staring at my son surprised.

"Si, my Mama and Nonno taught me." Sebastian answers before I can.

"You let him call your uncle nonno?" my father asks.

I stare right at him, " He's the only grandfather he has known. He has shown my son nothing but love."

"You know why we couldn't accept him." he answers.

"This isn't the place to discuss this." I remind him.

"Why are you mean to my momma?" we are interrupted by Sebastian.

For a moment my father doesn't even know how to respond, I don't think he ever expect my son to actually catch on to how rude and condescending his tone has been with me.

"Your mom has done somethings that I didn't agree with and I'm still angry with her."

"Momma always forgives me when I do something bad, it never takes her too long. Then she gives me hugs and kisses no matter what, because she loves me a lot."

"It isn't always that easy piccolo.", my mother answers before my father can.

"Mama says that family always forgives one another. Isn't that right Mama?" Sebastian responds innocently.

"There are somethings that can't be forgiven." my father answers.

"Mama always forgives me when I do something wrong."

"That's because I love you so much, baby." I say hugging him and giving his forehead a kiss.

"Evelyn can I talk to you privately?" Tristan speaks up suddenly.

I hesitate.

"I promise no arguing."

I sigh, "Could you watch him for me Courtney?"

"Of course!" she answers and starts to distract Seb from all the awkward energy at the table.

I stand up and start to make my way outside of the restaurant with Tristan right behind me.

"What do you want?" I ask as soon as we are outside.

"Why did you come back? We both know it wasn't just the wedding." he asks calmly.

"The company is loosing money. A lot of money. I can't let it fall." I state simply.

"You think I can't do my job properly?" he is starting to get frustrated.

"All that I know is that the company is failing. And that is part of my son's legacy I can't let it fail."

"And you think you can save it?"

"Honestly. Yes. I do. This isn't up to you, and it would be best if you start getting used to the idea of seeing me around more. I will be starting to work on Wednesday I just need my assistant and my accountant to arrive and we will be getting to work."

He lets out a frustrated sigh, but doesn't comment anymore on that instead he surprises me with his next statement.

"You talked about Sebastian's legacy, I want to have a DNA test done. I need to know the truth once and for all."

"Okay, just tell me when and we'll be there."

He seems shocked by this, I think he expected me to fight him on this.

"Ok, I'll have my secretary give you the details."

"Okay." I say and turn to leave.

"What have you told him about his father?" he asks making me stop and turn around.

"I've always told him that his father loves him very much, but works too much and can't see him. I would never fill my son's head with hate toward his father." I tell him honestly.

He has nothing to say to that, but I can tell a little of his anger towards me leaves him.

"I'll be waiting for the information on the test." and with that I turn and head inside leaving him with his thoughts. 

(translation: "Voglio la pasta con il pollo! E anche il dolce! Cannoli!" - "I want pasta with chicken! And dessert too! Cannolis!")
