My Life, My Forever (Sequel)

Chapter 75♡

(Pheobe's P.O.V)

Harper was busy sleeping as I was writing some things down. She was about 5 months old now. She was just growing up so much. Finn texted me. 

Hey Pheebs, 

Did you want anything to eat? I'm just leaving work. I've missed you. x

He was so considerate. Texting him back, I thought about gifts for Liv and Elliot. Maybe we could buy them some gift vouchers or something. I thought about my next session with Nadine. She said to write down how things were going regarding my aniexty. I was honest. I was slowly becoming used to being a mom. It was the lack of sleep that was the problem. Hearing the door, I put my notepad down. Heading to the kitchen, I hugged him. He kissed me. "You have no idea on how much I've missed you Pheebs." I could see that he was tired. Doing long hours at the precint would do that to you.

"I missed you too."

As he put his backpack down on the sofa, he asked how our little girl was. "She's good. She's actually sleeping." As he sat with me, he took my hand. "How are you though?" I said that I was okay. "You've been up and down again lately. I'm just worried about you." I said that it was just the lack of sleep.

"We have a 5 month old. She's changing so much. Maybe I should take over the night shift? If that's alright with you?" I kissed him.. deeply. "I just love you."

He said that he loved me too. "How are you though babe?" He stroked my cheek.

"I'm alright. Tired, but alright." As he went to make some drinks, he asked me how my prep for my upcoming session with Nadine. "I'm going to update her on my lack of sleep. And my thoughts." Finn suggested maybe getting an alarm clock. "Then, I could turn my phone off at night." As he gave me my cup of tea, we spoke about us. "Do you see us having more kids?" He sipped his tea..🤣

"Of course I do. Harper is already perfect. She's amazing babe. I love seeing you pregnant. You look amazing. I'd love us to have more children." Smiling, I sipped my drink. Hot lemon was great. Just sitting with him was so peaceful.

"Are you ready to go back to work? Back out there being your badaas self?" Giggling, I said yes. "I just need some normality back. My boss said that I'm welcome to go back anytime." Finn knew that I worked with Danny Reagan. He wasn't fussed about it. Danny was only my partner at work. Finn didn't really get jealous.

(Alex's. P.O.V)

"Hey Will." I had decided to call him. "Yes I'm fine thanks." I needed to ask him. I didn't want him to think that I was stringing him along.

"Ahh that's good Alex. How was your day?" It was nice that he asked. It was attractive.🧡

"It was good. Me and my boys had dinner. I spent time with my mom. And I'm hoping to ask you a question." Why did I say it like that?

"Oh yeah?" He laughed. "Yes." Taking a deep breath, I started to talk. "As my friends are getting married, I wanted to ask if you would like to be my plus one?" Silence then washed over.. I now felt nervous.

"I would love to be your plus one to your friends wedding." I then smiled. "How about we go out for a drink? This weekend?" Quickly texting the ladies, I said that sounded great. "So, how are your daughters?" It was so easy to talk to him. "They are good thankyou." As we continued to speak, I smiled. He was just really kind.

"I love them so much. My grandchildren are lovely too." I loved the way he spoke about his grandchildren. It was refreshing.

"I had better go. It's 8pm and I need sleep. I'll text you though. It was nice talking to you Alex."

Once I had said bye, I went to have a shower. That was sweet.

Letting the water hit my face, I smiled. I felt calm.

Once I was sorted, I checked on my sons. "Hey Mom.. you're smiling." Zack giggled. "I'm just becoming happier that's all."

As he sat on the stairs, I sat with him. "How are you getting on with therapy?" He looked at me. His eyes were just so cute. He still looked like a baby at times. "It's really hard Mom." Hugging him, I heard him cry. "It's okay baby, it's alright. Let it out." He said that he's been having dreams about his father. "He's just there all the time."

I felt so bad for him. "Mom.. could I ask you a question?" I said yes. "Was Dad ever sober when me and Tyler were kids?" I looked at him..

"He was. Yes. He was just him. When his mom became poorly, it got to him a lot. But, I helped him through it.. then I started to realise that he wasn't coping in the way that he should."

Zack just listened to me. I needed to be patient with him. "Then, your other grandma became really poorly and she passed away." Squeezing his hand, he said that he was still confused.

I just held him. I was so proud of my boy. "How about we sit up for a bit?" He nodded.

As I made some hot drinks, he sat and started telling me about school. "It's okay. My favourite subject is sports. I always love PE lessons." I loved it when he told me stuff like this. "I'd like to try swimming." Coming over with our drinks, she gave me the mug. "That sounds like a great idea. Would you like to try out for the school team?" As he sipped his drink, he asked me about Liv's wedding.

"Are me and Tyler going too?" I said yes. "That is, if you wanted to?" I was now nervous because Will was going to be my date. This would be the first time that the boys would meet him. Should I arrange a time for them to meet face to face? Texting the ladies, I asked Zack what he was watching.

"I'm just watching some creepy thing." Laughing, I heard footsteps. "Morning Tyler." As he yawned, he said morning. "Gran is in pain again." I went upstairs.

"Mom?" Opening the bedroom door, she was laying there. "Mom.. I'm here." Calling the doctor, I heard her crying. She was in pain. "Hi Dr Nelson. My mom is not feeling well. Would you be able to tell me if I need to do anything?' It was giving me flashbacks to when Chris used to  pass out.. 

The doctor then gave me instructions. As I went to get a flannel, the boys asked me if everything was okay, I was honest. That was something else that I was working on in therapy. I was trying my best to be truthful. 'Your gran isn't feeling very well." They went  to sit with her.

"I think that she's suffering with a really bad cold okay? She's just going through the shivers and shakes. She just needs to get through this stage." I thanked the doctor. "I'll come over tomorrow and check on her."

Once I was finished with the phone call, I decided to stay in her bedroom with her. Getting some water, I went back upstairs.

Laying down with her, I made sure that she was warm. "Thankyou darling." She was one of the sweetest people. "It's okay." The boys decided to bunk on the floor with us.

"How's Beth?" I asked Zack. He was talking to her more, I could tell. "She's alright. We should be studying together tomorrow." Smiling, I checked on my mom. "She's asleep now." The boys then said night. Checking the time, I saw that it was only 7.15am.

"Are you okay Tyler?" He nodded. "Yep. Could we talk tomorrow please?" I said yes.

Heading off to sleep, I just wrapped my arm around my Mom's waist. My family meant everything to me. Including my sister. I wanted to see her.
