"And do you think you can trust him?" Joey asks while fiddling with Noah's hair.
"That's what is confusing to me." I say and place my palm in my face.
As of now,I begin to doubt the foundation of my believe in Tristan and my trust for him.
What if he was lying?
"Well that's what the paternity test will prove,right?" Joey asks and looks at me.
I shrug and stretch before resting comfortably on his shoulder.
"You're so strong." He said and at the dabs "tears" under his eyes after I told him Noah's situation.
"Well, treatment is ongoing,and we are hoping for the best." I say and carry Noah who is already tuckered out to his room.
"How is-" I begin and get an immediate response.
"We broke up,found out she was fuck-" I grab at his mouth before he can finish his sentence.
"Where did you learn how to cuss this much?" I ask and he playfully rolls his eyes.
"Anyways,because of that,I'm a free guy now." He says and stands up to leave.
"I have a room here,so don't worry,and Claire,try not to kill me again." He winks playfully before leaving.
And like that,I am alone again. The kids are asleep and Josh isn't back yet.
I try not cry as my mind plunges itself into a mode of self pity.
Yes,I had left all the terrible things behind,but still,all the memories still haunt me whenever I close my eyes.
I place my head on my knees, shutting myself to the world and cry silently.

My eyes are red,dry and puffy by the time Josh returns home. I look at my phone and it reads 2:34.
"Josh?" I call out with a hoarse voice. My vision is still a bit hazy and I painfully try to adjust to the light.
"Yeah?" He answers and turns to face me.
"Claire,what happened?" He asks with concern when he sees my eyes. I smile wryly and shake my head.
"I'm...I'm fine." I say and get up. My legs feel wobbly since it's been long since I stood on it.
"Are you sure?" He asks and tries to help me. I move a bit to show him that I'm fine.
"See?" I say in an uninterested tone and walk to my bedroom.
I don't have the energy and mental capacity to talk to him after how he behaved.

When I wake up the next day,well morning,since it was dawn when he returned home,I have a splitting headache. I take some Tylenol with water and although it doesn't kill the headache to the core,I'll be able to move without groaning or holding my head.
"Good morning." Noah says and takes a seat beside me. I smile amidst the head ache and try to hide the pain, but I know my son a little too well.
"Why were you crying,Mama?" He asks and hold my cheeks.
"Mommy,just missed Grama." I lie. He wont believe me,I can't be bothered enough to care.
"Mommy,but she's in heaven,looking at you,me,Liam and even Uncle Josh." When he says this,it clicks me that I left for bed angrily.
"Where's Uncle Josh?" I ask and staggers bit when I get up.
"He's outside." He says and swings his legs. I kiss his cheeks and literally run outside.

"I hope everyone is ready?" I ask and hold my hips.
"Yea."
"Yep."
"I can't find my phone." Dylan whines childishly.
I roll my eyes and smack his shoulder.
"I'm not your mom,go find the fucking phone!" I half yell and point to the house door.
"Will we pick up Aunty Edelle on our way there?" Lukas asks and holds onto my shorts hem.
"Yes." I say and carry him.
To be honest,I am not that comfortable with Edelle coming with us but since I promised him,I have to fulfill it.
"Yay!" He laughs and places his head on my shoulder.
"Found it." Dylan says and walks towards me.
"Uncle Dylan, where's Aunty Athena?" Lukas asks Dylan.
"She didn't want to come,but I'm here."He says and pinches Lukas' cheek.
"Hate to ruin the moment,but if we don't hurry up,it'll be nighttime before we get there." I say and look at my watch.
"Will we see a mermaid?" Camille finally speaks.
"They're not real." Lukas says and looks out of the window.
"If you say so,but I still believe." She shrugs and smiles happily.

Felix sips on his wine before kissing the woman on the lips.
"I missed you so much." He says when he breaks the kiss.
"Well,four years isn't as short as you told me it was." She says and rests on his chest.
Yes,he was back,and he was going to get his revenge...No matter how long it would take.
