Matchmaker (18+)

Chapter 17

Alixa's POV
At the end of the day, me, Skylar, and River were at my house. We were all working on homework. The front door opened and my dad walked up to me. He slapped me. Skylar and River jumped up.

"What the fuck?!"

"Everyone at work hates me now. It's all your fault. Take your disgraceful self and bastard child out of my house."

Skylar pushed my dad.

"Watch what you fucking say to her!"

"Don't call her and my fucking daughter that!"

Skyler and River tower my dad. They're both 6'2 while my dad is 5'8. I jumped behind River and Skylar.

My dad knows that, you can't mess with the both of them. They're way too strong for him. Skylar crossed his arms.

"Get outta my damn face, Clark."

"Or what?"

"Me and my brother break your face."

Skylar stepped forward but I grabbed his shirt and pulled him back. They decided to avoid a fight with my dad.

They both realized, they can't risk them getting in trouble with the police. I'd be all alone with no one to defend and protect me. Rosaria wouldn't have her father or uncle. The happy energy in my house, was starting to become extremely toxic.

I knew, I couldn't live in that house anymore. Especially because of Rosaria. My dad was becoming aggressive and violent. My dad was kicked out of the house. The house was in my mom's name so he couldn't have it. She wouldn't let him.

I still didn't want to live in that house. My mom called a "Friend" to come stay with her.

If she was cheating...

Good for her honestly.

Months ago...

I wouldn't have thought or said anything like that.

Things were different now.

I moved in with Skylar and his family. We started turning the room across from mine and Skylar's room, a nursery.

My mom filed for a divorce. That happened pretty quickly. She left my dad with literally nothing. Skylar's mom is a stay at home mom so, she offered to watch Rosaria for us whenever, we left the house.

Hearing her cry for the first time, made me start crying. I was thrilled that, she was finally here. We both agreed that Skylar would be the first to hold her.

He sat down next to me on my hospital bed. Rosaria had her entire right hand wrapped around my right ring finger.

"Hey sweetie. Do you like mommy's ring? Is that what you're curious about?"

My nurse taught us about skin to skin. I slid my hospital gown down. Skylar unwrapped her a little bit then put her on my chest. Her blanket was still covering her back.

He used his right index finger to rub her back.

"She's so freaking adorable."

He kissed her little cheek. She let go of my hand after a moment. She opened her eyes and looked at Skylar. He smiled.

"Hi princess. Welcome to the world. Your family's crazy."

I chuckled.

"Don't start telling her things like that."

"What? It's true."

She grabbed his left pinky finger after a few minutes.
