Everlasting pain

26.

Elodie has been in deep little space since we got home from work last night, she's not been able to talk only small murmurs here and there

It's great because we rarely see her this deep in little space but it's the reason she felt the need to regress that upsets me.

Theo is feeding her some fruits in the kitchen s as that's been the only thing she's eating along with random yoghurts, she hasn't been a fan of eating solids

I walk into the kitchen kissing both of their cheeks "I'm calling my uncle to sort out her protection and the house protection"

"That's fine baby set up a meeting with him or you can just invite him an Elena over later on"

I nod my head that's a good idea considering I haven't seen them in a while "I'll do that then"

I grab my phone going to sit in the living room just in case El could here me. I dial Bens number and the phone answers after two rings

"Hey uncle how are you" I say until I hear small giggles in the speaker
"I'm not daddy silly, I'm Dominic Dane" he laughs
"Oh I'm sorry squirt can you put daddy on the phone please"
"Yes. Daddy, daddy Dane is on the phone" I hear him yell

"Well hello son how have you been" he asks making me sigh "I've been good everything was going god but I need a favour"
He groans dramatically "You always need a favour daney when are you going to invite me over"
I scoff "I was going too today but seems like you can stay in your own house you child"
He chuckles "I'll be there in ten gotta round up all these mini humans"
I roll my eyes knowing he can't see "stop having sex uncle give Lena a break"
He laughs hanging up the phone

I walk back over to my two loves picking up Elodie who reaches her hands out to me " I called him he said he'll be here in ten"

Theo nods his head as he begins rounding up food for dinner "what are you making today my love"

"I was thinking tacos and some Mexican veg rice" he turns around holding peppers in his hand

"That sounds perfect, just don't burn the house down" Elodie giggles at that pointing her small fingers at Theo

He scoffs "I would never do such a thing, now leave my kitchen and let me work"

"Daddy's kicking us out baby let's go play with some toys" I say walking over to the living room and tipping out her toy basket, she gets excited as I do and instantly crawls away when I put her down

That'll keep her occupied for at least a while as Theo does the dinner. I turn on the tv putting a random show I know she watches as she walks over to me with a rattle and sits next to me

I kiss her forehead when I hear the door knock, her head bounces up as she looks at me "Dada door" I looked at her shock as she decides to now talk "yes baby that's the door it's uncle Ben"

She squeals as we walk over hearing a ruckus outside, the door opens and the boys instantly run inside the house "well they seem energetic tonight"

Lena and Ben both groan "yes they are more energetic than ever"

I kiss Lena on the cheek "Auntie looking better than ever and this cutie has gotten so big"

She groans lugging her in the car seat "And heavier than ever I don't know what she eats"

I let them in closing the door from the cold and let Elodie down to play with the boys who she surprisingly gets along really well with

Elena gets Delilah out her car seat offering her to Theo who's now finished cooking and has cleaned up himself and the kitchen. "So why are we here boys"

I groan. "So first you're mad we don't invite you here and now you're trying to leave gosh uncle why do you hate us"

He rolls his eyes "You're so dramatic Dane"

"Fine you're here because we need your help, the Russian mafia wants to take Elodie because her father promised them when he was alive and now they want there part of the deal"

There eyes widen "That's some crazy shit right there boys, I mean I can order some of my best men to have 24/7 supervision on you at all times and I can potentially talk to them but that's asking for a blood war"

I sigh we really are fucking screwed. The boys walk in with Elodie who seems really happy. She sits in my lap when her eyes widen at little Delilah, she pulls my shirt multiple times "Ook dadda baby baby I wanna hold her pease!"

I look at Elena who smiles nodding her head "okay baby but please be careful she's very small"

Theo passes lilah over who sits perfectly in her arms laughing and pulling at Els face, she looks so perfect with a small baby in her tiny arms and I just can't wait for our future. We've never really brought up the kis conversation but I feel like after this we'll need to because I think me and Dane are both having the same thoughts

We eat dinner at little while later and it was surprisingly tasty I mean I'm not doubting Theo's cooking skills but when he does cook it's not always edible

"Okay I'll get back to you with the security and bodyguards all I can say for now is to stay safe and don't let her out of your sites"

Me and Theo both hug him with a thank you laughing when we see El skip over to them to give them hugs and kisses "bye unca bennie bye T T Lena"

"Bye sweetie stay safe my love" whispers Lena
They leave with three still very energetic kids and one sleeping 1 year old. I say today went very successful
