Ava's P.O.V
"Mommy where's daddy?" Skyler asked turning her attention away from her bowl of cereal. "He's out baby now finish eating." I said lowly my voice tired and fresh tears threatening to fall now that I stood looking at Tyler and Skyler eating their breakfast. They were happy, as usual but a sickening feeling crept up in my chest when the thought of them growing to hating me because I choose to end things with their father. As a mother I would do anything to ensure that my children are happy but I never thought that this would be a decision I'd have to make.
I knew that nothing lasted forever yet for some reason I thought that the love Bentley and I shared would be an exception. One where we'd grow old together and even though we would've spent years together our love would only grow stronger. The only thing that would separate us would be death but I guess I was mistaken because my husband- the man I gave my everything to stepped out of our marriage. The reason behind this I didn't know nor was I anywhere close to understanding it. I thought he was happy.
"Mama." Tyler said knocking me out of my solemn thoughts the stormy weather outside matching my mood perfectly. "Baby?" I asked grabbing a paper towel to wipe milk off her face. "Why do you look sad?" She asked her bright blue eye boring into my glossy brown ones. "Why would I be sad when I have my two beautiful babies right here." I said a smile tugging at my face for the first time today when they both smiled at me. The truth is that even though my heart is broken the only people I need in my life are these two and my unborn child to make me genuinely happy.
"We are pretty princesses!" Skyler giggled dropping her spoon into her bowl causing milk to splash onto her face. "The most beautiful princesses in the world." A familiar deep voice muttered behind me causing my smile to instantly drop but brightened the girls' smile. "Daddy!" They screamed running past me and to where he stood at the doorway. "Hey baby girls." His deep voice greeted I didn't move and by just hearing his voice all the emotions I've been trying to push aside since last night erupted in my chest. The pain slowly coursed through my body and just like that I lost the battle.
Blindly stumbling out of the kitchen I walked upstairs to the safety of my room while a never ending stream of tears flowed down my puffy cheeks. I felt as though the walls were closing in on me as my knees gave out causing my body to fall limply onto the cold wooden floor. Nobody deserved to be hurt this badly yet I wasn't going to feel sorry for myself neither was I going to blame myself for Bentley's infidelity. He made a decision which made him happy so why can't I do the same?
A knock at the door caused me to flinch. "What?" I croaked frantically wiping my wet cheeks. "May I please come in?" Stacey voice asked sounding bored. Lazily standing from my seated position I walked over to the wooden door swinging it open. "Why do you look like shit?" Stacey asked walking past me holding a small striped pink and white bag in her hand. "Stacey I'm not in the mood." I growled looking over at her where she sat on my king sized bed carelessly swinging her bare long legs. "Well I'm sorry mama bear." She muttered which earned her an exasperated sigh.
"Look clearly you don't want to be around anyone so I'll make this quick. I bought us some lingerie and I kinda mixed them up. I left mine behind and took the ones I bought you home." She said pulling out a familiar lacy black underwear set just this time it was actually my size. My body instantly ran cold as I stared at the thin material that now sat on my bed while Stacey looked at me an unfamiliar emotion shining in her bright emerald eyes. "I gotta go though so I'll see you later. Sorry if I caused any problems M." She said calmly before leaving the room.

Bentley's P.O.V
"Are you happy now? Because All I feel is disgusted with myself!" Stacey screamed her nagging voice echoing in my ear. "She looked broken Bentley and when I lied to her face she looked...you can't keep manipulating people so you could get whatever you want in life." She said before ending the call. She was right yet whatever she said quickly faded away when Skyler climbed into my lap snuggling into my chest. "I love you daddy." She mumbled with her thumb finger stuck into her mouth. "I love you more princess." I said lightly kissing her on her forehead.
It's been hours and Ava hasn't left our room for the day at least while I was here. After Stacey left I decided to take the girls to the mall because I knew that she would need time to herself. Heck I needed time to get the guilt that constantly gnawed at my conscience to leave me alone at least for now. Gently lifting Skyler I carried her sleeping form to her room tucking her into bed before heading to our room.
Walking into the room my breath painfully caught in my throat. Shattered glass, broken picture frames and broken furniture littered the floor of our empty room. Carefully walking through the mess I walked into our closet and she wasn't there. Yet it was clear that she was and she used the time to release herself of any frustration seeing that her destructive path seemed worst in out closet.
Frantically walking back into the room my eyes anxiously roamed the now ruined room hoping to find any trace of her. She wouldn't leave me...she couldn't leave me right? My breathing became labored when I couldn't find her in any of the rooms in the house. A bright orange glow caught my eye through the window of my office illuminating from the back yard. Walking into the frosty mid November air a contented sigh slipped off my dried lips when I saw her figure standing in front of the lighting fire pit. "Ava what are you doing?" I asked looking on as my wife calmly fed the fire one of my shirts. "I am burning your shit Bentley what does it look like?" She asked turning to look at me. "Ava that's a six hundred dollar shirt you're burning." I growled finding it hard to breathe through my budding anger. "Baby I think you're mistaken I don't care how much any of this coast." She muttered throwing one of my suits into the fire while her glowing brown eyes bored into my tired ones.
"Ava talk to me." I said softly stepping closer to her. "Baby I'm here you don't need to burn my clothes to hurt me because me seeing you like this kills me." I muttered pulling her body to mine. "I promised you that I wouldn't jump to conclusions and I did." She whispered her voice thick with emotion. "So you decided to burn my clothes...?" I dragged out a smile tugging at my lips while I looked into here glossy eyes. "I was cold." She said turning away from me to look at the fire she had successfully used to burn at least half of my clothes. "I love you Ava-Marie." I whispered before pressing my lips on hers.
"You make those words hard to believe Bentley." She said looking up at me. "This seems to be our rainy season baby but after rain the sun always comes back out. Even if you kick me out one hundred times or you successfully hit me with one of those vases Ava I'll always be yours. Through our ups and our downs my love for you remains the same baby. I don't mind you not believing me when I say I love you I'll enjoy making you believe my every confession once more mi amor." I whispered my lips lightly brushing hers in the process before I firmly pressed my lips against hers.
"Bentley." She whispered pulling away from the kiss her hand resting over my racing heart. "Ava-Marie?" I asked leaning so my forehead rested on hers. "I love you." She mumbled before an angelic smile light up her perfect features.
