The Life We Make

Chapter 18

Alexia woke up the next morning with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Thoughts of Cam and Luke filled her mind, and she couldn't help but wonder how her life was going to change now that they were in the girls' lives. She cherished the fact that she was now a part of their son's life as well. It was true what they say, family comes in different forms, and this was definitely a unique situation. As Alexia got ready for the day, she could hear the girls giggling and playing in the other room. Just as she was about to head out, Vicky and Jordan emerged from their rooms, joining in on the fun. Vicky, being Alexia's best friend, couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "So, Alexia, what are your thoughts on Cam and Luke?'

"I mean, a little, not going to lie, I never expected this to happen, but it's better for the girls, so hey, I won't complain,' Alexia says.

"And I mean, for their son too," Vicky winks.

"Girl, what do you mean by that?" Alexia questioned.

"Well, the little guy gets siblings, and I mean, in a way, a mom," Vicky says.

"Whoa, whoa, as cute as Asher is, his parents are his dads Cam and Luke, and I'm only the twins' mom. I'm not going to invade on their parenting, but yes, I'll build a relationship with Asher, I'm sure, but I'm not his mom," Alexia says.

"Okay, if you say so, but I think this is crazy cool, and let's not forget Cameron let you call him Cam, which I noticed, especially since he always corrects people on it," Jordan says and winks.

"I've always called him Cam, even in Aruba. That doesn't mean squat. And what about you and Sage? I mean, you wouldn't stop talking about him when you came home. Now, what's the plan?" Alexia asked her brother.

"My point exactly! And girl, I had no plan, but he won't stop blowing up my phone, and I'm not too keen on answering."

"And why not? If I remember correctly, you wouldn't stop talking about his bomb ass dick, your words exactly," Alexia laughed.

"Oh yes, we couldn't stop hearing about it for months," Vicky says.

"Stop, you lying asses. It wasn't for months, and yes, it was bomb, and he is still sexy, but the whole running and tattling got me a little annoyed," Jordan says.

"Bitch, please, you would've done the same and worse. Probably called right in front before Sage got the chance to leave. If roles were reversed, you are just afraid of commitment, and Sage gives those vibes," Alexia said.

"Whatever, I'm not trying to run off into the sunset. I like my life, and I don't need him coming in with his relationship talk and his constant 'let me take you out' on a date. It would've been better if he just said 'let me lay down my good pipe and forget about our problems.' Then I would've answered," Jordan says.

"God, you are so dramatic, Jord," Alexia laughs.

"So, where are you off to dressed like that?" Vicky asked.

"Oh, well, I was going to the gym later on today after errands," Alexia says.

"Girl, what? Why? It's not your bullshit again, right, sis?" Jordan says.

"Which is?" Alexia asked.

"That you feel like you need to lose a few pounds and blah blah," Jordan says.

"I mean, I do. I'm nowhere near my weight prior to having the twins, and I liked my body then way better. Now I feel like it's way too much," Alexia says, sighing.

"Girl, please, you look fine as fuck. Shut up," Jordan says.

"Is it those pricks of doctors saying shit around you again?" Vicky says.
