rich pov
A "i mean we are done" my whole world just broke in that small sentence. i can't live without her.
R "adele no. we can't be. what about our children?"
A "we will coparent but i can't go around being scared anyone i just can't."
R "i won't ever do it again i promise. please don't do this."
A "im sorry. I'll have your stuff out tomorrow for you to pick up."
R "adele"
A "im sorry."
R "i love you." i got no response to that so i got up and left.
there is no way that just happened. i just lost my wife for some stupid shit i did. it's my fault that my children have to have divorced parents. it's my fault that the most amazing women in the world lost her husband. it's my fault because im a fucking idiot.
i don't know what to do so i sit in my car and cry in the drive way of the house that adele and i once shared.
adele pov
i heard the front door close and so i knew that it was safe for me to cry. i can't believe i just did that.
i spent two more hours sitting in the same spot on the bed when i heard the girls come through the door.
Adeline "MOMMY!!!"
Amelia "DADDDY!!"
these poor girls have no idea what's about to come for them.
i slowly walk down the stairs and see them. they run to me and hug my leg like they always do.
Adeline "momma?"
A "yes darling"
Adeline "where's daddy?"
A "um baby he's not here right now he had to go on a work trip."
Amelia "when will he be back mommy?"
never
A "uh i don't know baby. why don't we have grandma and grandpa over for dinner?"
Adeline "YESS"
A "you girls want to call them for me?"
Amelia "yes"
i give them my phone and pull up my moms number.
the phone rings for a second and then she picks up.
P "hey del"
Amelia "this isn't mommy it's Amelia and Adeline"
P "oh well hi girls!"
Adeline "grandma?"
P "yes sweetie?"
Amelia "do you and grandpa want to come over for dinner?"
P "if it's okay with mommy then sure"
Adeline "you're so silly she told us to call you."
P "oh well then sure"
P "girls can i talk to your mom for a second?"
Amelia "sure"
Amelia hands me the phone and i take it off speaker.
Adeline "leave it on so we can hear!" i put it back on speaker and start talking to my mom.
A "hey mom"
P "hey sweetie what time should me and your dad come over."
A "uh honestly as soon as possible i need to talk to you."
P "oh okay is every thing okay."
i can't say no my three year old daughters are right there.
A "yes" i say sounding a little broken.
P "uh shit okay we will be right there."
Amelia "GRANDMA!"
P "im sorry girls. adele we will be right over."
A "thank you mommy."
i hang up with her and then the girls took my hand and brought me into the playroom.
while i was playing with the girls my phone lit up from two text messages. one from rich and one from my dad.
the one from rich: adele you know i love you more than anything in this world. you and our daughters mean the most to me and i can't live without you. you three are my life. im sorry for what i did to hurt you and if you take me back it won't ever happen again.
i feel terrible and i miss him too but i can't let him back.
the one from my dad: baby girl. i hope everything is okay. me and your mom are on our way to your house but i swear if it's about rich i will kill that man.
i laugh at his message. i love my dad. i just wish he would have been there for me like he is now when i was younger.
i hear the front door open and it's my parents.
A "girls grandma and grandpa are here."
they get up and run to them.
M "hi sweet girls"
i stand there and watch my kids and parents relationship grow. im so thankful that that's the relationship that works.
once the girls hung out with their grandparents for a while i sent them back in the playroom.
P "adele"
A "the past four hours have been insane. i had a doctors appointment today for the baby and rich wasn't with me because he had a meeting. but when they started checking everything they found out that i had a miscarriage."
P "oh sweetie"
A "that's not even the worse of it."
M "what?"
A "when i got home i told rich and he comforted me because i was a mess and then he said that he loved me and i went off."
M "like how."
A "to the point where i told him that we are done and i have to have his stuff out of the house by tomorrow"
before my parents can say anything the front door opens and it's rich.
