Love, Lust & Broken Trust

Make Up - Break Up

Tabitha

Devon and I travel around with the kids and tabloids fly about him being my lover so I finally open up about who he is on The View.

No, Devon is my brother. He's traveling with me and my children. I'm sure you've seen the tabloids The Baker children.

I put their last name out for the first time publicly but it doesn't go unnoticed.

So your children's names are Baker not Winkle?

I smile as Devon and the kids look at me from the audience.

Yes, they're my Baker babies. My boys are the image of their father and my girls look like me.

They ask several other questions from there. 

Rumor is you're married. Are the rumors true?

I laugh lightly.

Yes, the rumors are true. I'm married but we keep our private life private. Actually this is the first time in nearly two years that I've spoken of our marriage publicly. We eloped on a whim.

I see Devon chuckle as we continue to talk but they probe for Erik's name and I see hope in Devon's eyes that's I'll spill because he wants to know who I married but I refuse.

Sorry but I won't say on air. I want to keep that part of my life private. My children are here with me and my brother Devon. However, I will tell you my last name is and has been Baker for some time now.

They turn the camera to view my little family who wave but Devon's eyes go wide as he realizes who I'm married to. After the show my kids blow up in the magazine. The Baker Boys this and Baker Beauties that. Erik talks to the kids but never mentions it then their birthday comes and we go home to find Erik has a party set up for them. Devon doesn't say a word but I've sworn him to secrecy. I don't see Tanner or Abby the entire time but I notice Erik and Jared have become friends.

I saw you confessed you were married to a Baker and all that on the t.v. You know Erik doesn't watch the tabloids or t.v. much right? He says it's too hard to look at.

I avoid letting Erik kiss on me so he settles for loving on the kids. After we finish we start loading up to leave again but Erik grabs me.

Daddy tiss mommy.

Carson announces while Devon laughs.

Yeah they're yucky buddy.

I hear him say but Erik chuckles.

Call me when you get in. I love you.

We leave and I call him as he asks but I let the kids talk mostly. Time rolls on and I start seeing pictures of Erik and Jared together so I know he's modeling. Then I see him with other women and Jared so I know he's actually doing well as a model. Then his birthday comes up and he whines that we're not home. I also know he's been saving for a truck but I don't know what else to get him from the kids.

Hey will you be home tomorrow?

I ask and he nods.

Yes, why was you gonna Skype me in the morning for my birthday?

I laugh amused.

No Renee's coming over and I'll be on Skype with her. She's gonna let us see you get a gift from the kids.

He grins.

Renee's bringing me a gift tomorrow... From you and the kids..? That's just wrong. You befriending my sister. It's sabotage, I know you two are up to something.
