Finding His Way Back to Her

Chapter 129

Chapter 129

She got in the car not answering him. She was too upset to go straight home so she rode around for a while to think. After a while she found herself almost home. As her car came to a stop the triplets came out running happy to see her. "Hi my babies."

"We are not babies anymore. We are five years old."

"You will be my babies even if you are my age. What have you been doing?"

Da was kicking the ball around with us."

"Da was."

Evan lowered his head and scuffed the ground. "Well sense he came here he isn't yelling, and he has been nice. He kicks the ball and rides horses. He even went on the four wheelers with us."

"You can call him da. He is your da."

"Does that mean he can come back and live here with us?"

"Is that what you want Olivia?"

"Well, it was nice when he was here."

You know Uncle Collin is back he is in the hospital; he will move in in a few days like he was before." Amelia expected the kids to get excited, but they didn't. "You guys love Uncle Collin, don't you?"

Conny is smiling, we love him very much and I want to see him for real. It's that if he lives here da can't."

"You guys wanted Uncle Collin to be your da what changed."

"Our da is here and he is being so nice I kind a like having him around."

"I see. We'll talk about it later."

That night Amelia went back to the hospital. She let Mitchell go with her. He didn't want her to drive, it would be late when they left to go home. Collin saw her walk in and was all smiles. Amelia put on a smile and walked over, giving him a kiss and a little squeeze. You feeling any better?"

"I am doing great I feel like I am getting my energy back."

"That's great, I saw your mom on the way up and she told me the doctor said you will go home tomorrow. The kids are looking forward to seeing you. They all thought you were never coming back."

"I can't wait to get back to the ranch and see them."

"Why do you want to see kids that aren't even yours?"

"You know I love them. And the mini triplets are mine."

"Are they or did you fix the report." Collin turns ashen in color. "I know how you feel about us, and I know what you have been doing."

Collin took a deep breath. "I don't know what you think you know but someone is lying to you."

"You told me. Or should I say you told Simon and he let me hear every word. He recorded it for me to hear. I think he was going to mail it to me after he got his money. That way I would know just how you felt."

"Ames I do care for you, but I don't love you. What difference does it make I've always been there for you and the kids."

"You're right you have been, and in the beginning, I wasn't making you money like that but you got greedy and destroyed our friendship and lied to me. I don't want to have you come and stay at the house you can stay at the city house until you find a place of your own."

"You don't need to worry about that. I never sold my house in town I will stay there. Mom will come live with me and when this mess is all done, she will want to go back to England."

"Your mother was putting on an art show for you with my artwork, a memorial to honor you. I even painted a portrait of you for it. For her sake I will let her sell the paintings, but I will find another dealer to work with."

"Ames you have to admit that I made you the best." She cuts him off.

"No, my talent made me the best."

"You're right but I could have an assistant assigned to you and you would never have to see or hear from me again. If not for me for my mum. She doesn't know about any of this, and it will tear her apart if she finds out what I have done."

"You are going to have to tell her the truth about the kids and make sure she knows it was not my fault."

"I will talk with her. I am being honest when I say I got a kick out of spending time with you. It was never boring, and I will miss those times and I have no one but my greedy self to blame."

"On the tape you said that the triplet test was fixed. How? I was there and you didn't pay the doctor off, or did you?"

Collin gets a cocky smirk, "I'll explain." Amelia pulls the chair over by the bed. "I never told you about how my father died did I." She shakes her head no. "Him and I were in a car accident. A drunk driver hit us head on, my father died on impact. I was saved because I had a large wooden container in my lap. The container saved my life but at a cost. The corner of the container hit my private area and made it so I will never have children. You see I am sterile."

"That is where I am confused. When we went to the doctor the test said they were yours. When Mitch found out about it, he had it checked out and they are yours. Well two of them are the other one is Mitch's. They even showed him the proof."

"The doctor I took you too doesn't know the truth. You see I took the first test with Mitchell and you at the hospital. Remember they said they couldn't find the swab from Mitchell. I took his swab and hid it in my pocket. It was already in its sterile wrap and safe I just exchanged it at our doctor so it would say that they were mine. So, you see I am not their father, and I will never be any child's father."

"But why would you do that?"

"I wanted you to agree to go with me and if the kids were mine, I knew you would come. Mitch was acting bad but he was getting better if you thought he was pulling a fast one you would get even madder."

"You knew I wanted out of the situation and would have gone with you."

"Yes, but would you have married me? I wanted that and them being mine was a big help. I did all kinds of things with you and the kids; we had fun together. Still, you only cared for me, but you never really loved me. The five years we have been together you never once thought of me that way. It wasn't until him and you made love that night that you got desperate and wanted to get past him. That first kiss the night I left was not returned it was accepted but there was no love or passion in it."

"You did this because you needed me to keep painting for you."

"I wanted you more than loved you. To be totally honest you are beautiful and are as sexy as hell. On top of that I was making a killing selling your artwork. You would complain about losing your sketch pads all the time. I took them and sold your sketches on the black market and made a lot of money. It didn't hurt you and it gave me extra cash. I didn't think it was hurting anything. I kept buying you other pads to replace the pads I was taking."

"That's why you had me sign them you sneaky person you."

"Mitchell even being the ass he was had a place in your heart, and I could see it. I didn't want you to go back to him. I figured you would stop painting you had already said you wanted to slow down. I messed up big time, but I never planned on getting kidnapped or helping him I wanted to live that's all."

"You know you don't have to go back to England I won't be that kind of person. I am mad at you for what you did, but I will let you handle my artwork but with your assistant."

When I am well enough, and all this police stuff is done I am going back to 'England and getting out of this god forsaken country. I only stayed here for you."

"Collin, I don't know what to say."

"Say goodbye and go home to the kids. They are your world."
