It's been a week since I have seen Reign. I have blocked his number and since he had to go to Italy for business, according to Liam, he wasn't able to just show up and question me.

Liam said he apparently wanted to give me my space which I was surprised but his mother hasn't given me space. She has been calling me and I have made every excuse for why I don't answer.

The kids have been trying to adapt to living here alone without Hailey being charge. They are getting used to Rachel and she has been great help. I have been seeing Xiomara more at work since she made it clear she was also taking space from Kol.

Things have been feeling like normal but of course the guards are a reminder. I am still ok with it because it is for my siblings but if it was just me, I would've chased them out.

As I clean up the house, the kids rest on the couch just watching tv. It's been a bit quiet but a few chatter here and there.

I hear the door bell go off and I think. Is it Xio? She didn't say she was coming over.

Also I'm pretty sure if Liam didn't know the person, they wouldn't been able to come to the door.

I go to the door and I open it slowly. I see her standing there with Vivian.

"Rosalia...?" I say confused.

She nods and walks in. I gasp and Vivian gives me a reassuring smile.

I close the door behind me. The kids sits up and looks at us.

"Umm guys can you go to your rooms?" I ask.

Nate groans.
"Why?".

I roll my eyes.
"Just do as I say please, no talk back".

They groan and they go upstairs. I see Rachel look at me worried and I shake my head. She goes behind the boys. Good thing Miguel is stuck in his room doing who knows what.

I point my arm to the couch. They sit down and I pick up a few action figures off the floor.

Rosalia shakes her head.
"No don't, you don't need to make it tidy for us. I want to talk".

I sigh as I stop.
"Well honestly, I don't know what to say.. I really just need space from all this".

She nods.
"I was once in your shoes, where I questioned everything and it felt wrong. That my life didn't need all of this, that it could just be..".

Vivian smiles as she finishes her sentence.
"Simple".

"I just want to be left alone with my siblings, take care of them and go on with my life. My parents and you guys are what I need to let go of and accept things" I state.

She nods.
"And I agree but Elle... you aren't normal. Your life isn't, your parents played it off as if it was. You come from complicated history and you deserve to know".
