Baby bishops

Chapter 30

Maya was woken from her deep slumber when she heard banging on the front door.

"What?" She groaned as she sat up in bed, her hair a mess as she shuffled out of bed and towards the door.

She was worried the loud banging from the person knocking on the door would wake the twins so hurried to open it.

As she opened the door her eyes landed on someone she never thought she'd see again.

"Nathan" this could not be happening, the man smiled at the blonde as she stood there speechless.

"Hey babe" who does he think he is, turning up at her apartment at early hours in the morning, smiling and acting like nothing happened, and calling her babe?.

"What are you doing here Nathan?" She closed the door slightly just in case the twins had woken up, she didn't want them hearing their dads voice.

"I was in the neighbourhood and thought I'd see my boys, and you of course" he ran a hand through his messy blonde locks.

It was never hard to find the similarities between Nathan and the twins, they were a spitting image of their father.

"They're asleep, do you have any idea what time it is?" She asked as she stood with a hand on her hip, she was not going to take it, he always thought he had the right to just show up unannounced.

"I'll sit and wait for them to wake up then" he brushed off the look of Mayas glare.

"You're not seeing them Nathan" she shook her head defiantly, her foot had been placed down, she was not having him worm his way back into their lives.

They were too young to understand the difficulties they had, and what he put her through.

"Oh come on Maya they're my kids too" this seemed to anger the blonde.

"They're your kids when you want them to be, they're your kids when you're life is falling apart and you have nowhere else to go" this wasn't the first time he had turned up at her apartment requesting to the see the twins.

"Mama" shit, max had woken up.

"Go away Nathan and don't come back.

She made a move to walk inside and slam the door in his face, but as she attempted to shut the door he stopped her.

"Is that one of them?" She left the door open slightly as she went to retrieve her son.

She lifted him so he was resting on her hip and made her way back to the front door.

He had his head resting on her shoulder and his hand tangled in her blonde locks.

"He looks just like me" every time he had showed up she always refused to let him see the twins, he had left just after she gave birth and had met them when they were new borns.

"Unfortunately"

"I have to be up early Nathan, please leave" he raised his hands in front of his chest, accepting Mayas rejection.

She watched as he walked through the corridor, until he could no longer be seen.

She stroked max's back as she could feel him becoming restless and shut the door behind her.

"It's alright sweetheart" she soothed, she made her way to the twins bedroom and put max back in bed, she kissed him goodnight and moved a few loose strands of curly blonde hair from his face.

"Goodnight sweetheart" she turned around to check and see if rustle was alright, he was in fact snoring and sound asleep, she smiled before exiting the room.
