Oh My God! Broken hit 1k. Yay! I'm soo happy. Thank you to all my reader and those who voted too. Byeee.

"I missed so much." My father said and smiled at the twins. Although he smiled ,I could still see the sadness in his eyes.

"It wasn't your fault." Claire smiled and rested her head on his shoulder.

"How old are they?" He asked.

"They're three. They'll turn four in a few months." I looked at him.

"Is...is he their father." He asked and nodded at Josh. I stiffened a bit before getting my head off his shoulder.

"I can't lie." I answered. "He isn't." His gaze softened a bit when I said this.

"He's a good man." He smiled and hugged me.

I narrated everything that happened and when I finished,I was in tears.

"It's okay. You had to do what had to be done." He said while hugging me.

I wiped my tears and looked at him. It was nice having someone that would look after you,sympathize with you and above all, encourage you.

That was what I had missed my whole life.

"We have a lot of catching up to do." He said and walked towards the door.

"I have an apartment just around the corner,this is my contact number." He said placing a card on the counter.

Liam began to cry when he left.

"Baby,he'll be back tomorrow. Or you can talk to him later." I cajoled.

"Okay." He sniffled and rubbed his runny nose on my shirt

Ew.

"He's gone?" Josh asked and bit an apple. I nodded and stretched my legs.

"I'm so happy for you." He said and sat beside me.

I got uncomfortable instantly but sat there quietly.

"So what happened?" He asked and took another bite of his apple.

"I'd rather not talk about it." I groaned and slept in the couch. I was physically and mentally exhausted and I didn't want any trouble.

I was happy to have him back in my life but I was also scared.

What if it was all a facade? Some ruse to trick me?

Josh kissed me on the forehead and walked away.

"What did you fucking do?" I yelled and held Edelle by her shoulders.

"Nothing. I swear." She cried. I knew what she did.

"Don't fucking lie to me!" I screamed. She looked at me as tears streamed down her face. At first,I would feel sad,but now I knew she was faking.

"I'm serious,I didn't do anything." She yelled and cried more.

"Edelle,in the next five minutes,I need to pack your shit and get out!" I said and closed my eyes. The anger growing in me was too much and I feared I would do something that would hurt her or me,or the both of us.

"No,Ron,please,you can't do this." She cried even louder. Her voice was getting obnoxious by the second. She held onto my leg and I wanted to jerk it off but I didn't want to hurt her either.

"Don't touch me." I spat coldly. "You know we aren't together yet you did this,you're evil." I said without looking at her.

"I'm sorry,I wasn't thinking straight,I didn't mean to tell him that." She cried.

"Edelle,I thought you'd be different,maybe we'd learn to love eachother yet,you proved me wrong. You're terrible and you're supposed to be called anyone's mother."

"I'm sorry." She cried even louder.

"Daddy,she said she's sorry,she'll be a better mommy for me." Lukas said while looking at me with an innocent expression.

"Stay out if this,go to your room." I warned.

She shouldn't have told him that his mother was dead. She wasn't,she knew she wasn't. Yet still,she said it and laughed at his sad expression. The woman is a sociopath.

"Mommy,mommy,mommy." I felt someone poking my cheek. It was Noah.

"What?" I said sleepily. My head was pounding and my eye itched. I rubbed it and looked at him.

"I'm hungry." He said and tapped his tummy. I groaned and pulled him towards the kitchen.

"Where's Uncle Josh and Liam?" I asked while making him a sandwich.

"They're playing soccer outside. I didn't want to join them so I said no." He said while swinging his tiny feet.

Noah was my best friend although he was still a child.

Truth be told,when he was still a baby,I would tell him everything that happened to me that day after which I would cry. He would also cry so we both in the clear.

"And why is that?" I asked and placed the plate infront of him.

"Thank you. I don't want to play. That's all." He said and shook his head causing his curly hair to bounce.

"Wow,my little baby is now a man." I joked. He rolled his eyes and ate his sandwich.

"Thanks for tha sandwich. Too much lettuce though." He said and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"Mommy,I'm hungry." Liam whined as he barged into the kitchen. I groaned and started making another sandwich.

"You'll have another check-up before we leave." I tell Noah while still making Liam's sandwich.

"But mommy,the needles hurt." He whined and placed his little head on the dining table.

"It's for your own good. Do you think I like to see you cry?" I asked and placed Liam's plate infront of him.

"No?" He shook his head.

"Good then you should understand me." I said and kissed his cheek.
