I am now left with my own thoughts
Jess what was that? How could you ever forget how this man treated you.
It's been a few hours since he left and my mind is still racing.
I can tell I'm exhausted but my brain refuses to shut down.
I give up on trying to sleep, I just grab my phone and open Wattpad.
I might as well continue reading.

There a soft knock on the door,and when the door opens i am slightly disappointed it's not Damien.
I'm still happy Mia is here,

"Hey sis, I hear you had a very eventful night. I am so sorry I wasnt there for you. I don't know what would have happened if Damien's people where not there" she says

I don't even want to keep talking about that, the police are waiting for a statement from me in the morning too.

"What are you doing here this late?you could have visited tomorrow after work you know"

"I was worried honestly, I am your sister so I had to see you to make sure you are good."she says

"You didn't call our parents right?"
I ask. I hope she didn't, we are not on good terms.
They wanted me to have an abortion when I told them I was pregnant.
Then when I found out I was pregnant with twins they wanted me to give them up for adoption then after I gave birth they suddenly had a great idea of me leaving the twins with them so I can find better opportunities.

I didn't trust them with my kids, what if they gave them away without my permission.
I haven't visited them since the twins were born.
I do not wish to subject my kids to that kind of negativity.

I grew up with both my parents telling my sister and I how we ruined they lives.
Apparently we made them have a terrible life despite the fact that kids don't bring themselves on earth.

I don't want them anywhere near my kids. That's why I moved far away from were they stay.
After they realised we were not going to follow their rules they even moved to the UK.
So they decided to leave their kids here and move there
Not that Im complaining, I'm happy I don't have to deal with their drama.
I wonder about Damien's parents.
I know he has a brother who called me last time anyway let me not dwell much into that

"So I have a date" Mia says

I'm shocked, Mia doesn't date ever since her ex broke her heart.
She loved that guy so much but he just left one day without even telling her where he was going
He even changed numbers I guess because we tried calling him countless times.
We were dependent on him, when Mia and I moved from our parents house we were living in a very beatdown house which was not safe at all.
Mia is 3 years older than me so she met Ryan when they both in first year of college, they started out as best friends then it later turned into something more.
Well 6 months into their relationship we moved in with Ryan into a beautiful apartment.
Well when he left he did leave the apartment to Mia and that's were she still stays to date.
She tried to leave but then we had no were to go so we had to stay there.
It was a great help when we found out I was pregnant.
We managed to make a nursery out of one of the bedrooms as it was a three bedroomed apartment.
Well I moved out when I found a job since I wanted my sister to have her own space.

Im glad she has finally moved on from him, he was a great guy, I still wonder what happened to date.

"Well who is the lucky guy?" I ask

"Well you remember the doctor who was attending the twins since birth well since the twins are not being attended by him anymore I finally accepted his invite to go out for dinner"

"I didn't know Dr Matthew was interested in you. You really do keep things close to your chest don't you? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well you were going through so much Jess, I wanted to help you as much as I can with the twins so I could "

I feel awful honestly, I didn't know my sister wasnt dating because of me. I thought moving out will allow her to live her life but I guess she did stop her life for me.

"Mia, I am happy that you are finally opening up to dating. I will forever be thankful that you helped me take care  of the twins. It means so much to me that you sacrificed a lot to help me. Now it's time that you start putting yourself first Mia"
By the time I finish speaking we are both crying.
She has been my anchor through everything
She even moved out of our parents house with me after the whole ordeal after my pregnancy.

"Well it's a good thing it's late and no one will see how messed up my makeup is" Mia says.

"So when will this date occur?" I ask.

" Well I told him I will get back to him soon, but I think next week Friday."

"Nope that's too far, how about tomorrow evening
It's a Sunday tomorrow right, you can have an early dinner"

"Well I will text him to see if he is free on Sunday then" she says with a smile

"Well it's already late, let me allow you to rest. When are you getting out of the hospital?"

"I'm not sure, maybe later during the day. Can you pick me up later?"

"Im sure Damien will come pick you up Jess. Don't stress"

I sigh " I want to keep a distance from him honestly, I don't want to get confused"

" Jess, you need to forgive him, so you can both be the best parents to your kids. You know I am right Jessy."

" I know, but it's so hard to forget how he treated me Mia. But I will try my level best to forgive him. But Im not getting back with him though" I say.

" No one expects you to go back to him, but be civil for the sake of the kids"
After Mia leaves I scroll down my emails and I see that another company has responded and I have an interview there the following week.

........
I wake up to the door opening and thank God it's the doctor, i can't wait to go home to my kids.

"Hey Doc" I say

" Hello miss Lincoln, how did you sleep?"

"Like a baby, I can't wait to go home" I say

"Well then you are in luck, I am here for your final check up then you can leave"

I beam and the doctor laughs

" You really hate this place huh?"

"You have no idea, so when can I leave"

" Well you can't drive yourself home so you can leave once someone comes and picks you up. However you have to take it easy for the next week. Im giving you two days rest by the way so you can recover. Drink plenty of fluids miss Lincoln and if you feel dizzy please do come back to the hospital" the doctor says.

"Okay, Thank you Doc"I say

I am still talking with the doctor when  Damien walks in.

" Doc, I'm glad to find you here, how is she?"

"I hope for your sake the she you are referring to isn't me." I state.
I mean I am right here, he can ask me

"Damien, good to see you, I'm sure miss Lincoln will answer that question. I will leave you two to prepare. Damien come to office to get the prescription and then you can leave with her"

.......
