please read part one before continuing, or if you don't want to? i hope you enjoy!

I made it up the stairs on shaky legs and followed the sound of the kids voices into the bathroom, my heart was thundering in my ears, it felt like i was out of my body. The sound of giggling took me out of my trance, i quickly made my way to the bathroom as saw the kids trying to move the bath bomb basket

"hey let me help with that" i say walking over and lifting it down on the floor for them and opening it so they can look. I know Damons made it up the stairs as i can feel his gaze on my back but i can't bring myself to look at him just yet, our lives changes the moment i said those words to him downstairs and i'm not strong enough to face it yet, especially in front of our kids. I start running the water and our son waits patiently to plop the bathbomb in

"daddy can you do bath time tonight?" our daughter asks walking over to where he's stood in the doorway

"of course honey" he says, his voice causing my heart to break just a little bit more, i hear them walking towards the bathtub and i stand up 

"i'll go put their pjs on the radiator so they're warm" i say moving out of the way so i don't have to face his just yet

"y/n.," he whispers but i'm already out the door. I go through the motions of getting their things ready for bed and make sure their room is clean and tidy for the morning, just doing anything to keep my hands and mind occupied. I hear the buzz of a toothbrush coming from the bathroom and i know they'll be coming through soon so i make my way to our bedroom and just stand in front of our bed. The sight makes me stop in my tracks, it's the bed we've shared every night since we bought this house, how many nights has he come home and held me after holding her? All the anger from earlier just fizzled out and this huge wave of sadness takes over. The thought causes me to clamp a hand over my mouth to cover a sob, feeling like the world is crumbling beneath my feet. I must've been stood there there because I don't hear him coming into the room

"they're down" he says and i nod not turning to face him, i move over to the dresser to try and find something to distract me "Y/n.." he says again which breaks my heart and i shake my head staring at a perfume bottle he got me, letting the tears falls again"will you look at me? please?" he says, i watch his feet move as he moves into the room so i quickly move and head into the en suite to have a shower, he makes no move to stop me. After a couple of seconds i hear him knock "Y/n, baby, i'm so fucking sorry" he pauses for a second, the longest second of my entire life, i have to sit down on the floor so my knees don't give way, I'm fully sobbing into my arms " i love you, i never stopped and i am the biggest idiot on the planet, i haven't been here and i'm sorry, i ended it yesterday morning it's over, baby it's over" he says and When I come out the bathroom after a long shower i see his stood in the doorway his his pjs in hand 

"i'll sleep in the in the spare room tonight" he says and i nod

"ok" i say not really sure what else to say 

"can we talk tomorrow? please? it can be when you get home from work, just talk to me Y/n please. i can expla-" he starts to say 

"there's nothing to explain Damon you're having an affair" i whisper not wanting to speak the words into existence

"Y/n please" he says and i sigh letting the tears fall

"fine " I say shakily finally looking at him not having any fight left in me and he stares at me with tears in his eyes 

"baby-" he goes to say but i turn away from him so he doesn't see the tears forming, i get into bed and go to turn the light off when a voice comes from the doorway

"i can't sleep" our son says and i look at him 

"you feeling ok?" i ask walking over to him and bending down to be at his level, he nods cuddling his teddy
