Life Unknown

Chapter 5

I could hear his mouth drop as I said those words. I sat there on the edge of my bed biting my nails waiting for him to say something.  Finally he did, and it was not what I expected either. 

"Are they both okay?"  Wow was he really concerned about them?

"Yes, one is a bit bigger than the other, which is why I didn't find out untill today that I was having twins, but they are fine.  She was hiding behind her sister, trying to play peek-a-boo." He laughed.  If felt good to hear his laugh again I missed it so much.  I hoped to hear it more often. Wait did I? He left me, why would I want to hear him happy?

Other than the shock he seemed fine and we talked for hours upon hours. I was scared my mom would overhear as every word escaped my lips. He explained why he left and how angry he had been with himself, but he never mentioned anger towards me. He continuously told me he loved me and missed me and wanted to be a part of his daughters' life. Damian was such a great guy. How could I have ever of thought he wouldn't take responsibility for his actions?

We talked about how we would work it out and we seemed to have a plan. His graduation was in a couple months and he had already been accepted to a school in S.C. Until then he would be visiting me on the weekends. Part of me was so relieved, but he applied to a university without even talking to me. What could that mean.

His family was rich beyond belief, and they already had there own jet so he would just need to get a pilot and he was off. He had decided that he could take the rest of the week off from school since there was only two days left and fly out tomorrow so that we could catch up. Now came the hard part telling my mom. Would she have the same doubts as I do? Would she even let him see me?

Mom had not really been one of my best friends since I got pregnant. She had made me move, not understood me when I was having a hard time with the pregnancy, and she hated Damian for doing this to me. It's the main reason we moved she didn't want me with a man that would just leave me like that.  She didn't understand that I needed him more than ever.

So I went downstairs to talk to her, my hand sliding down the rail as I came closer to her.  I entered the livining room and sat down next to her on the nice plush couch.  It was the only thing we brought from our old house, and it comforted me in a nice familar way.  Defiantly seemed to make this a lot easier.

"You seem happy what happened?" She asked with questionable eyes. Rightfully so I didn't exactly leave with the sugarplum dancing in my head as she explained the baby shower.

"Well I just got off the phone with Damian. I thought he had the right to know about the girls."

She looked at me very disapproving and frowned when she began to talk.  I was used to this, but I was ready to stand my ground on this.  They were more than just my babies.

"Why should he get to know anything at all? He left for two weeks without a single word. He hurt you so bad, I can tell." How could she not know. I hadn't been happy since the day he left and told me he needed to think about everything.

I know, he made a mistake, but he just took the news really badly, he had to get away just like we did. He tried calling, but by then the phone were cut out and we were long gone."

"Your falling for him again aren't you?" She seemed as if she would cry and it broke my heart.

"Mom, I never quit loving him, yeah I was hurt and yeah I know it's been a rough five months with me, but seriously I don't think that I could live without him. We have made arrangements and he will be coming tomorrow.  Do we need to rent a hotel or are you going to let us stay here?"

"I wish I could protect you but your a grown woman with two babies on the way I guess it is time to start making your own mistakes and decisions. I hope this works out well for you and him. Your going to need all the help you can get with the babies, and make sure he knows he can't just be there part the time. He can stay here for the weekend, but he needs a more permanant place for his future visits.  We will talk more later but now I have to go to bed, you have exhausted me with this and I need to think on it."  Withough a word more she walked out the room and didn't even look at me.

I walked back up the stairs my hand tracing the same path it did on the way down. As soon as I entered I noticed it was a complete mess and I knew Damian could not see my room like this. I instantly started cleaning up and before I knew it everything looked perfect. Now to just pick out what to wear to pick him up tomorrow. It was a special day and I didn't want my first impression on him to be that I let myself go. I also should call Natasha she wanted to know how the doctors went.
