Aurora's P.O.V
It's been almost a week since Ben came by and I don't know how but after him and Cy had a talk, the atmosphere around him changed. He's a little more relaxed now. Since then we've also been talking more and spending a little more time together too, of course I don't want to force anything on him right now or ever so, I always lay out things to do and he picks for himself. Him being back can't be kept a secret for long but right now, only Ben, everyone in the house including myself, Kim and Spenser, Ben's dad and his mother know. She cried so much when she saw him that it made me feel bad for not telling her sooner, but it was also imperative that I tell her to not mention it to Cy's father. After the stunts he's pulled in the past, I just can't trust him and I don't want to.
"Are you ready?"
"No." Offering him a small smile I position myself under his gaze. After some talking and a lot of consideration, Cy and I agreed that it was time to officially meet the twins. Since he's arrived I kind of made sure to keep the twins away, and I know that sounds terrible but, I'm their mother and I didn't want to expose them to someone who wouldn't even stay. But now we both know that even if him and I don't work out in the end, he will still want to be the twins' father.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Slowly opening the door we make our way to the twins and they literally stare at Cy, making him stiffen. Watching their little interaction makes me chuckle. Reaching for Reign, when I see her slowly back away I flinch, but then Reagan starts crying.
"Can I pick him up?"
"Yes." I want to say no, because what if he picks Reagan up but he doesn't stop crying, will he be okay? And what about the twins, will they be okay? What if they're too used to Cyan that they reject Cy-.
"He stopped." He did. Reagan stopped crying! Reign starts crying too so I pick her up. "Can I hold her too?"
"Together?" He nods. "O-Okay." Should I let him hold them both at the same time? Can he handle it?
"Aurora." He says before I hand Reign over to him, making me stop.
"Hmm?"
"It's okay to say no, I mean I may be their father but I'm still a stranger, you're their mother and you can protect them. Even from me."
"Huh?" Protect them from him? What does he mean, did he notice that I was nervous? For some reason my eyes start tearing up and tears fall down my face.
"Aurora?" The look in his eyes pushes me to start crying, handing Reign to him I run out, going to my bedroom.
Cy's P.O.V
When I see her tear up I clench my teeth but, because I'm holding the twins all I can do is watch her run out. Sighing I look down and see them staring at me.
"I'm sorry, I know you guys don't know who I am and I'm basically just invading everyone's space but, I'm going to try my best. Okay." I must be an idiot, talking to infants who can't hear a word I'm saying.
"Aah!" My eyes widen, why do I feel like they just responded to me? I smile down at them. Sitting down I rock back and forth with them in my arms for a while , just looking at them.
"Looking at you guys I've noticed something, Reign you have your moms eyes but Reagan you have my eyes, which is pretty scary now that I look into them. But you both have my nose, sorry about that." I chuckle softly.
"Aah!"
"Aah!" They both smile at me and it's like I just freeze in this moment, my heart is beating so loudly that I can basically hear it.
"Man, I'm in trouble. I think I just imprinted on you guys."
"Sir?" Mary says coming in. "Do you need any help?"
"Uhm, not really but could you take them for a little bit Mary, I want to go check on Aurora."
"Is everything okay?" She says looking worried.
"I don't know."
"It's okay sir, I can take it from here, you go."
"Thank you Mary." She couldn't have gone far, I heard a door close nearby when she left. Could she be in the office? No, she's not here. Standing outside her bedroom I knock but no answer, sighing I open the door anyways and find her curled up on the bed, softly crying. "Aurora I'm going to sit beside you okay." She doesn't say anything so I sit. "Aurora I didn't mean to offend you-"
"Please don't apologise." Her voice is soft. "I shouldn't have acted the way I did, I just didn't want you to get demotivated if the twins didn't respond to you but, I portrayed it the wrong way and hurt you." Her suddenly getting up and looking at me takes me off guard but when I look into her eyes my chest tightens up to a point where I want to ... shoot someone? "Cy I'm sorry." I don't know what comes over me but I pull on her arm making her body crash into mine, and I wrap my arms around her, holding her tightly. "C-Cy?"
"Don't cry." I say through gritted teeth. "Seeing you cry somehow makes me sick, I hate it." When I say this her body stiffens, of course it does, mine would too if I heard someone speaking with the same murderous tone I just did. I should let go.
"Cy." When she whispers my name her body melts into me and her small arms wrap around me. Ba-bump. Man, this feels really good. "Cy can we stay like this for a little longer?"
"Sure."
