Chapter 88
"Thanks." He left and Mitchell went back to work. It was almost 8:00 when he got done. The ride to Helen's was not long enough for Mitchell he had to get it together to face the bitch.
Helen was sitting on the couch when the door opened. She was surprised when Mitchell walked in. "Mitchell it is so nice to see you. This is a nice surprise."
"I wanted to talk to you."
"Can I get you something to drink?"
"Sit on the couch I want to get things straight." Helen sat waiting for the bad news. "You have signed the contract so there is not much more left for us to discuss. The only thing I am telling you is that you are not allowed to leave this apartment without one of the guards. I don't want anything to happen to you while you carry my child."
"Are you like this with Ames, she is having your twins. I bet she is still with that guy not giving a damn about you at all."
"What is going on between me and Ames is none of your business. If you want to know I am at her house every night and I love having her in my arms. As for you get this straight. If for some reason you get it in your mind to try and leave while you are pregnant, then I will find you and I will lock you up and not let you out until after the baby is born."
"Like you did Ames." Helen started laughing. "You can't lock me up and you can't stop me from going places just because I am pregnant. You are all talk, acting like you are the all mighty lord and master."
"Ames was different I know you are pregnant; I already have men watching you. Mind your mouth and take good care of my child. If something happens to him or her, you will pay the price."
"You are the biggest ass there ever was." She throws the pillows off the couch at him.
"You drugged me and got us both in this mess, but I am the ass." Mitchell walks out of the apartment. "You two make sure she goes nowhere without one of you, lose her and you will wish you were dead."
Mitchell went to his house he needed a break from all the shit he is dealing with. He sat down to have a drink. "I forgot the picture." Mitchell went out to the car to get the picture of Helen's baby. He picked it up, this is my baby. "I promise you I will never let that woman mess up your life. I also promise to love you."
Tuesday morning Mitchell was at Ames's house by eight. "Mitchell you are here so early. The doctor's appointment isn't until 10:30."
"I was hoping to have breakfast with the kids." Amelia let him in.
Who was at the door this early?" Collin asked as he went down the stairs. He looked over to see Mitchell. "Mitchell good morning. What brings you here this early?"
"You and I are thinking alike. I asked him the same thing." Collin walked over and gave Amelia a kiss. "The kids are sleeping in this morning."
"Max said he is coming at nine to watch the kids. He asked for your waffles, hoping for chocolate chip ones." Collin, smiles. "I like them too; we have one thing in common."
"He is asking for that kind to make the kids happy. So did you. What kind of waffles do you really want?"
"I like your pecan ones."
"Mitchell what kind do you want?"
"You used to make mint ones; I loved them."
"Okay we have chocolate chips, pecan, and mint. If Bridget is coming, she is like me and loves peanut butter. I better get cooking the kids will be up in an hour. You two have some coffee and relax."
They sat at the table drinking coffee. Mitchell started the conversation. "I heard you are leaving for work soon."
"I'm leaving on Thursday. I put off the trip until Ames was back to normal. You are taking a trip too I hear."
"I will be leaving next Tuesday for a week. I am hoping to cut it short, but I doubt it."
"I hate leaving them. I know Ames can take care of herself, but I miss her when I am gone."
Mitchell squeezed his cup of coffee so tight his knuckles turned white. "I feel the same way. I miss the kids and Ames. I have missed her for five years. If those babies are mine, I am coming for her. I want to fix my family make it whole."
"Those babies mine or yours makes no difference, I am here to stay, and I will not give up on Ames or those kids. If you could be the man, you should be, then we could share the kids. The ones here and the ones coming if they are yours and if they are mine, it makes this as much my family as yours. You have a baby coming, he is a brother or sister of these guys. The baby could be part of the family, only difference is he or she will live with you."
"There is only one problem. I don't get Ames and that doesn't work for me."
"Those babies are mine. Even if you donated the sperm, they are mine." Collin taunted Mitchell on purpose.
"What is yours? Amelia asks as she set waffles on the table."
"The kids are mine and I am going to get them to love me." Mitchell is covering up their fight. He doesn't want her any more upset than she already is.
"They are coming around, the more you spend time with them and don't lose it. You made a hit with that slide. All those extra instruments were kind of nice too. Now they can all three play the guitar at the same time. They can play any of the instruments at the same time."
"I have gotten better I want them to be with me and it is important they know they are safe with me."
The kids came down the steps. "I smell waffles." Evan yelled"
"Come on I got chocolate chip and peanut butter waffles, ready for you." Max and Bridget came to the door. "Just in time waffles are done."
"Let me take care of the kids you have to get ready for the doctors."
"Thanks Bridget. I will be right back down."
Collin got up and went upstairs with Amelia. "You need help getting ready?"
"I am almost done."
Collin wraps his arm around her. "Don't let anything bother you. Whatever that report says is not true, we will find out tomorrow what the truth is. No matter what I am here with you."
Amelia hugged him for dear life. "If he would work with me, we could be friends. Most couples that break up don't do things like he is doing. I can't even take the kids on a vacation without him coming."
"We will be fine. I told you my plan, it will work. By Wednesday of next week we will be going home, I promise.
They head out to the car with Mitchell behind them getting in the car with them. "I thought you would take your own car. After the doctor's appointment you would go to your office."
"I wanted to spend more time with you Ames. I never got to see my kids in your belly growing. I never saw them born. I don't want to miss it this time around."
"Helen is having your baby; you can do all that with her. If these babies are Collin's, he will be with me through this. If you are the father both of you will go through this."
"If they are mine, I am not sharing this experience with Collin. I deserve to be with you, to hold your hand while they take pictures and run tests. If Collin wants to experience this, he will have kids with someone later."
Collin took Amelia's hand. "Let it go. We will see what happens with the test. I don't want to see you upset." Mitchell leaned back on the seat, calming down.
