ADDISON:
It's a lovely warm September day, the boys are due anytime now. I'm so excited, we've set up food and drink telling the boys it's just a party before the breaks over. They all agreed, but they don't know the real reason, well there is 2 reasons.
It's now 6pm and they're all here and the music is playing, the boys playing fifa, chatting and everyone's having a laugh. Like usual, I've lost Teddy, he's currently playing fifa with Jack. He's amazing with Teddy, for a lad everyone judges they don't know the real Jack, like seeing Jack with Teddy is amazing, he loves and adores the little boy and Teddy loves him back.
Decs at my side as I turn the music off and get Mase to pause the game, everyone looks around at us. "Lads, we did invite you here for a party but there's a couple of other reasons too" they all look confused now and I giggle. "Well first things first, our little Teddy here has got a gift for Jack" with Teddy in my arms we hand Jack a little gift bag. "Thanks little dude" he says as he open it then his eyes fill with tears and he grins wide. "Are you serious" he says as Dec and I nod. "Jack you've done so much for us and you adore this little man and he adores you. So please will you be his godfather?" He nods and cries more before hugging all of us "course I will, I'd be honoured" he takes Teddy and gives him a big hug. The rest of the lads hug Jack too.

Then I cough getting everyone's attention. "That wasn't the only thing" I use the remote and change the tv to show the scan photo "we're having baby number 2" I shout and the whole room erupts in cheers. Jack is the first to hug me, he smiles at me and says "godfather or not to this little one. Uncle Jack will love them as much as I love Teddy." Him saying that makes me cry, I'm shortly embraced by the rest of the boys, all saying congratulations. Then Dec shouts "LETS CELEBRATE" and everyone cheers.
A couple of hours later I'm watching them all laugh and celebrate, then I feel an arm around my shoulders, I look over and it's mase. "What's going on in your head little sis" I smile and simply say "nothing I'm okay" he shakes his head and lets out a little giggle. "You may be able to hide it from everyone else but I'm your big brother and I can read you like a book. I know something is on your mind please talk to me" I sigh as I know he's right and he won't let it go, "I'm just scared Mase. I'm struggling right now mentally, I've been getting lots of hate from people again and I know to ignore it but I'm struggling." I tell him that and not the full truth because part of me doesn't want to believe what I've just seen pointed out. He doesn't believe me as he says "okay now tell me the rest of it" I start crying and he hugs me right "I can't tell you Masey, please trust me I can't" he looks angry now "what's he done now?" He goes to walk over to Dec but I pull him back, Jordan walks over and helps me pull Mason back. "I'm not going to ask here what's happening let's go and talk in the kitchen" Jordan says pulling Mason with him. I look and see Teddy asleep in Jacks arms, so I follow to the kitchen.
"What's going on?" Jordan asks and before I can speak Mason does "Decs done something and Ads won't tell me." Jordan's eyes widen at this as he looks at me and says "has he?" I shrug, "I don't actually know, I've been on social media and there's pictures of the night you boys went out to celebrate. In the pictures it shows Dec starting off the night with you boys and his wedding ring... then in some pictures of him with a few girls the wedding ring is nowhere to be seen, I haven't presumed anything yet but I've read quite a few things. I don't want to start anything and ruin the night. I'll sort it tomorrow." Tears start to fall as Jordan hugs me but Mason is now looking at the pictures and has got angry. He's stormed into the front room.

MASON:
I'm so angry right now, how did I not notice him taking to the girls or even taking his ring off. I storm into the front room. "Jack mate can you take Teddy upstairs or something please, he shouldn't be here right now" I don't need to explain anymore as Jack gets up and takes him upstairs, like he knew what I meant.
Dec looks around at me and says "you playing mate?" I see red as I shout. "DONT MATE ME. ARE YOU ASHAMED OF MY SISTER OR SOMETHING?" He looks at me confused "course not. I love her Mase" I show him the picture on my phone "care to explain why you removed your wedding ring to talk to these girls?" The boys in the room all look shocked and so does he then we hear a door slam, I look around and see Jordan throwing his jacket on "I'm going after Ads. Sort this out... like now boys" Jordan says quite angry and he leaves following her.
This is why she didn't want to tell me she knew how I'd react. I take a deep breath, "Declan, I'm going to give you a chance to explain this to me and I'm going to stay calm. I know you love her so please answer the fucking question of why you took your wedding ring off" he looks at the floor. "Mase, I'll be honest but please listen to me before you react" I nod at him for him to continue "I did remove my ring, and I'll be honest at the time I'm not too sure why I did it or what I was expecting to happen. I love Ads and I love her being my wife, she gave me Teddy and made me a dad but I guess part of me missed how it used to be. The freedom, the attention and I hate myself for this but I wanted to feel it again"
I honestly don't know how to react to this, I'm taken back "So you thought, I've got a wife and son at home but I miss the single life, let me feel it again. Have you cheated on Ads? I thought you was happy the life you wanted for so long?" I can feel myself getting angry but Chillys put his hand on my leg to calm me down. Decs crying now but i need to hear the truth. "Mase, I didn't do anything with them, no, and I don't think I would've  actually cheated on her, when I was talking to them girls I was comparing them to Ads telling myself all the ways she is better. Ads is all I've ever wanted and I got greedy. Please don't hate me. I made a mistake I'm sorry, so so sorry"
I always have my sisters side and I am really angry but I still love Dec and I know him better than anyone, so I know he's not lying to me.
