"You can stay in your old room." Elron says and walks ahead of me.
"I'm not staying the night." I say and fold my hands on my chest.
He looks at me and smiles.
"Yes you are my little munchkin." He says and pats my head.
"Don't touch me." I say and slap his arm away.
He smirks and grips my waist. "Really? Not even if I touch you like this?" He asks and runs his calloused fingers up and down my arm.
"No." I say and try to break free.
My phone buzzes in my pocket and I pick it out while looking at him.
"You changed your phone?" He asks and I nod.
"Yes..is it a bother to you." I ask while staring daggers at him.
"Why..why did you change it?" He asks,still gripping my waist. I roll my eyes and pick the call.
"Yeah,I'm fine..I'll take Noah to the hospital tomorrow." I say and look at Elron who seems hurt.
"Just be safe. I love you."
"I love you too." I say and cut the call.
He looks at me with anger and confusion.
"You have your issues. I have mine." I say and turn around.
He grips my wrist and turns me to him.
"You will not talk to me in my own home." He growls and grinds his teeth.
"I didn't ask to stay." I roll and shrug his hand off before walking away.

When I get back to the living room, Claire is playing with Lukas and Noah is asleep beside her.
Lukas looks at me and smiles before looking back at Claire.
"My birthday is in a few weeks." He says and Claire smiles at him. She pats his head and looks at me,the smile fading.
"Will you stay the night?" Lukas asks excitedly and looks at me with happy eyes.
"Yeah. I will but I'll leave tomorrow morning." She answers and carries Noah. She walks past me and Lukas follows her.

I sit on the bed and old memories start rushing in.
I shake my head and take my phone out of my pocket.
How is it possible that within two hours,I have received fifty-five missed calls,twenty voice mails and forty text messages? All from the same person.
*Are you dead?*
*Claire!*
*Are you alive? Did that guy kill you?*
I laugh when I read the text messages before plopping down onto my bed.
"I can't sleep." Noah says and enters the room. He's wearing one of Lukas' pyjamas and his eyes are drowsy.
"Want to sleep by me?" I ask and he nods.
"Is that nice mister my daddy?" He asks and plays with the hem of my nightgown.
"No." I lie.
Oh course he was their father. But I couldn't bring myself to say it.
"Is my daddy dead?" He asks and looks at me.
"Why are you asking so many questions?" I ask and tickle him. He giggles and falls off my lap.
"Can we video call Liam?" He asks and I nod before asking my phone off the nightstand.
The call is answered after a few rings and I'm greeted by a shirtless Josh.
"Hello." He greets and smiles at us. I pass my phone to Noah.
"Hello Uncle Josh,can I talk to Liam?" Noah asks and Josh nods.
"Liam,I have so much to tell you." He tells his twin excitedly.
"We say in a big black car and now we're in a big mansion." He says and I look at him with clear shock.
"I miss you." Liam says and pouts.
"Sorry we had to leave so soon." I apologize and he nods.
A noise from downstairs forces me to cut the call abruptly as I want to hear what is going on.
"I'm not going to get rid of it." A female yells and the man shouts back at her.
"Edelle I swear to God.." He says and pauses.
I get out of the bed and quietly creep outside. I hide behind a pillar and try to listen closely.
"I'm not getting rid of this child and you can't force me!" Edelle says. I peep a bit and I can see clear anger in her eyes.
Our eyes meet for a moment and her lips curl into an evil smirk. She takes her eyes off me and walks closer to Elron.
She places her hand on his shoulder and brings her face closer to his.
I close my eyes as hurt and anger overtakes my senses.
I take a deep breath and walk towards the two of them.
"Ehem." I clear my throat and he looks at me with shocked eyes.
"I guess you two are busy. I'll be taking my leave." I say and turn towards the staircase.
"Claire!" Elron chases after me as I run up the stairs. I run as fast as my legs can take me and slam the door before he could get to me.
"Claire open the door." He says and pounds on the door. It takes me a few seconds to realise that Noah is still in the room.
"Go...go and play with Lukas." I say and he nods.
He opens the door leading to the in-built bathroom and uses the opposite door.
"Claire for the love of God,open the door." He says,still pounding on the door.
I open the door and he walks into my room and stands by the door.
"Aren't you happy?" I ask,trying not to break down in front of him.
"Happy with what?" He asks and opens his arms to express his confusion.
"Aren't you happy? Happy with the fact that you're married but you still kissed me and 'kidnapped'me. Aren't you happy that you've brought me to your house with your son and you kissed her right in front of me." I yell and I realise what I just said.
"What?" He asks and walks closer to me.
