Hauntings Of Our Past - Sequel to What Was Once Hidden.

Chapter 5 - Where It Began

Alex's P.o.v.

Carl is here now. He got home fifteen minutes ago. Those fifteen minutes were filled with yelling. Him and his dad are going throat to throat, and honestly I don't feel any sorrow for him. My back is leaning on the wood frame of the bed, my knees pulled up to my chest, and my tear stained face resting on my knees. The fight at school was horrible. I left because I couldn't stand to see him, but the thing is, is I want him at the same time. I want him to hold me and tell me he's sorry. At that moment the bedroom door opened. I knew it was him. I shut my eyes to stop the tears. The bed dipped down as he sat. I could feel his presence.

"Alex?" He asks. I take a deep breath as his arm wraps around my waist, pulling me close. "I-I'm sorry..." I couldn't hold it in anymore. I wrapped my arms around his torso and just cried. He hugs me tight. "I'm sorry for yelling at you back at school." He says crying. "I'm sor-" I begin to say but he cuts me off. "No, don't say you're sorry...I deserved it." He says. I wipe my eyes and lay my head on his chest. "Carl..." I say. "Yes baby?" He asks calmly. "Do..do you still love me?" I ask. "Of course!" He says. I smile slightly and look up at him. "Always?" I ask. He smiles and leans down. "Always." He says before kissing me.

The rest of the week went by slow without Carl there and he still has all next week of his suspension. That's alright though, because next week we're going to Atlanta to visit Abraham. Him and Rosita are getting married. I'm sorta dreading this trip. Only because Atlanta is where basically everything happened and I just don't know if I'm ready to visit it. I don't care though. Everyone is going to be there, so I'm extremely excited about that. It's Friday. School is done for the week. Yay!!

"Come here!" Carl yells. "I can't, I'm still giving Gray a bath!" I yell from my bathroom. "Babe, I want to cuddle!" He whines. "Damn you're such a baby!" I yell. I hear him laugh which makes my stomach fill with joy. I drain the bath tub and dry Gray off. I dress him in his p.j.'s and walk out of the bathroom. "Great! You are done, so now you can cuddle with me." Carl says patting the spot next to him. I walk Gray out of my bedroom and into his.

"Do you tink I'm ready for big boy bed mama?" Gray asks as I rest him on my hip. "A big boy bed for my little boy?" I ask shocked. Gray nods his head. "No...not just yet." I say putting him in his crib. "I love you baby boy." I say kissing his head. "I love you mommy." I turn off his lights and shut his door.

"Okay Carl.." I say walking into our bedroom. I shut the door and cuddle up to Carl in the bed. His arms wrap around my waist. "I love you so much!" He screams. "Carl your dad is probably sleeping, don't yell like that." I laugh. "Alex, I wanna do something..." Carl slowly begins to hover over me. He kisses my neck softly. My hands go into his hair. He kept his hair long, which I'm super happy about. I tug on his hair which makes him moan. He stops kissing my neck. I open my eyes to see him just staring at me. "Can we? Please? You got me going crazy inside." I laugh at his words. "Yes." He smiles and begins kissing my neck again. I take off his shirt. My hands feel up and down his chest. His lips meet mine, I deepen the kiss, which turns him on even more. He takes off my shirt making me blush. His lips touch my cold skin. I moan as he leaves little kisses up and down my stomach. He stops kissing and takes off my sweat pants. I bite my lip as he admires my body. I sit up a bit to take my bra off, but I layed back down once it was off. Carl takes off my underwear and throws it on the floor. He takes the blanket and pulls it over us. I take off his jeans and boxers. He smiled at me. I smiled back. We were both so happy with eachother. I wrap my legs around his hips as he slowly enters. I moan as I adjust to his length (A/N: This was an awkward moment for me XD) I love him so much.

"That was awesome like always." Carl says while kissing my hand. The only thing between us was the blanket that was covering our naked bodies. "It's always going to be perfect when it's with you." He says. I kiss his bare chest and smile. "I love you." I say. "I love you too." He says kissing my head. I get up and put on the clothes I had on before we had sex. I slip back in bed and cuddle up to him. "It's 9:00 we should get some sleep, we have to wake up early so we can pack for Atlanta." I say. "Are you scared to go back there?" Carl asks. I guess he could tell. "Yeah..." I say quietly. "It's going to be okay." He says as he rubs my arm with his thumb. "I...I know, it's just.." I say but he cuts me off. "The memories." He finishes my sentence. "Yeah..." I say. "Alex, I know it's going to be hard but, remember the good things that happened in Atlanta. We met there. Our babies were conceived there."

He was right.

"It's all going to be alright." He says kissing my head.

My eyes open as I hear talking in my room. I sit up and see Rick talking to Carl. "What's going on?" I ask. "Nothing we're just talking about who's staying where when we get to Atlanta." I nod as I look at the alarm clock. It's 6:00am. I yawn as I get out of bed. I open up my closet door and get out three suit cases. One for me, one for Carl, and the other for Grayson. I wait until Rick leaves to speak. "Can you get Grayson's suit case ready? I can get ours ready." I say. "Yeah I'll get his ready...once I get my morning kiss." I laugh as I walk towards him. I give him a small peck. "Now go do what I told you." He smiles as he walks out.

I run to my bathroom and get into the shower. Once that was done, I put on a gray tank top, over that I put a cream sweater on. With the jeans I put on tan boots. (The picture ⬆)I brushed my teeth and curled my hair. I did the other essentials. When I was done packing I brought our suit cases and bags to the stairs. Then, I went into Grayson's room.

"Did you pack shorts? You know it's probably still hot there." I ask Carl.

"Yeah."

"How about sweaters because it could be cold at night?" I ask inspecting his suit case. "Why did you ask me to pack his suitcase if you were just going to question me about what I put in it?" He asks laughing. "It's a mother instinct." I laugh. Carl grabs Gray's suitcase and I grab Gray. In one hand I had Gray and the other I had Carl's suitcase. I slowly walk downstairs. Once I finally got down, I put Carl's suitcase by the door and put Gray in his highchair. I grab Cheerios and pour some in a bowl for him. Once he was taken care of I went outside to help pack the car.

"C'mon guys it's already 8:20! Our flight leaves at 8:40, we got to move!" Rick yells. "The car is fully packed, all we need to do is get Grayson and Judith, and lock up the house." Carl says. We ran inside the house and grabbed the kids. Once we were all buckled up, Rick drove off.

During the drive the to the airport and during the flight my stomach was turning. My anxiety was horrible. To be honest I'm really scared about going to Atlanta.

It only took a couple hours but here we are...at the place where it began.
