Family Affairs. A Luke Hemming's fanfic

{ Chapter 28~ Awkward Moments.}

Unedited.

After the whole Arzaylea ordeal Oriana was brought back to me and I finished off the final details for the track, Luke had been quiet all day and I felt bile rising in my throat when ever he looked at me with a cold glare.

"Ms.Jones?-"

"ARARANGI! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

I smirked as one of my poor employees was stuck showing Andy my where abouts, he walks in and the boys grow silent.

"Ara! Melody!"

I smiled and hugged him, he hugged me back before hugging Melody.

"I don't even know why I'm here! Juliet asked about you so I was wondering if you'd like to come see her next show?"

I smiled, I'd meet Andy on my first day on the job, both him and Juliet had been a big help and I guess you could call us friends.

"I'd love to. Is that all?"

He nodded and hugged us before walking out like he own the placed, I chuckled and sat back down.

"Mummy? Is that daddy?"

My body tensed as did everybody else in the room, she looked a lot like Luke yes but she wasn't ready for he truth. She was to young and I should have never let her call Luke daddy.

"Hey Mel? Uh-hows school?"

She ignored Michaels attempt in changing the subject and looked at me and Luke with accusing eyes.

"Melody-"

"Yes....I'm your dad"

I jumped a little hearing his deep voice, Melody's eyes light up and she runs over to him hugging his waist tight, a small smile appears on his lips and he hugs her back.

"Luke"

Calum warns, Luke ignored him and bent down to be eye level with Mel.

"Me and your mummy aren't together anymore though. Its up to mummy if I'm aloud to be in your life"

They both looked up at me, Melody had a pout and I knew if I said no she'd burst in to tears.

"Mel....he's-_he's...okay"

I whisper seeing the tears well up in her eyes, she broke in to a grin and looked at Luke who was watching me, I hadn't noticed a tear escaped my barrier until Calum stood up wrapping his arms around me.

"Hey, shhhhhh. Its okay"

He kisses my forehead and rested his cheek on my head, I clutched his top in my hands as if I was holding on for life.

"Mummy? What's wrong?"

I pulled away and looked at Melody who was looking at me with a frown, I bent down and kissed her frown away, I then kissed her nose.

"I'm fine baby, mums just a bit tired and needs sleep."

"Oh! Like when Oriana is tired! She cries then sleeps"

I laugh and sign, I looked in to her deep blue eyes and kissed her again.

"A lot like Ori. Ori kept me up all night"

I signed, just as she started to whimper, I rushed over to her, picking her up and rocking her back and forth.

"Is she your daughter?"

I looked at Luke, he was glaring at me. This boy has serious issues, first off we aren't together and haven't been for 3 Yeats! Second, he tells my daughter he's her dad, last he has the nerve to act like me having another kid is a mistake.

"If you must know, no. She's my niece, Waitangiruas daughter. Her mother was in a car crash and she's in a coma"

I snapped, I looked down at Oriana and rocked her back and forth before she fell in to a deep sleep.

"Are you staying at mine Cal? Or I mean are any of use?"

I ask Ash Mikey and Cal ignoring Luke.

"Will there be enough room?"

Mt house is 5 bed room but we also have a small pool house that has two rooms. The house is fairly big, i have a office, a ensuite is well as 3 other rooms in the house, a walk in closet and a small balcony, it has a pool and jacuzzi.

"I have 4 rooms. 2 in the house 2 our back. But I was thinking Mikey and Kae have out the back since they have Anakin. I think Wai is taking Oriana to mums so he can visit Crystal so there won't be a crying baby"

They all looked at each other before looking at Luke, I know as much as Calum acts like he hates him he truly will never give up on there friendship.

"I'm sorry, but I don't won't Arzaylea anywhere near my daughter or house let alone in side"

I will make this clear now. I never stopped loving Luke, I  never will, I was broken for a year after we broke up and I haven't been the same since.

"Its fine"

He looked down at his hands and I signed.

"I'm going to stay at Ara's. I mean Kaelin and Anakin hate hotels and Kae has had no time to see Ara lately"

I smiled at how thoughtful he was being.

"I am too, Aimee needs support from both these girls. Also, so do I she has the worst mood swings"

I chuckled as Ash came to stand beside me and threw his arm over my shoulder.

"I-uh-im going to stay too, I've missed 3 years of my nieces life. I know I don't know Waitangirua well but he's still my cousin and so is his daughter"

I chuckled, he's never called Mel is cousin which technically she is but because he calls me his sister she's his niece.

"We better head up to my office, I've got to pick up a few things and then we can go"

I quickly grab my laptop, send there recording to there company and we lock up the studio. When we arrived on my floor Lillian greeted us and we walked in, the boys eyes wide as they look out over my view.

"How much do you earn? Look at this"

"Money is nothing, most of which I save and or put in to Melody's college fund"

I ruffle her hair causing a scowl , I opened the door to my in office bed room to see Anakin, Kaelin and Aimee laying here, Anakin asleep in Kaelins arms while Aimee and Kae talk in hush, they looked up when I walked in.

"Use are staying at my place"

They both grinned like idiots while I went back to my office and started o look through my papers.

"Are use thirsty? Hungry?"

I pointed to a small cart my step dad had made me keep in here, the boys walked over and poured themselves a whisky.

"Did you finish at school Araranvi?"

I smiled and looked up at Luke.

"Finished a 7 year course in 3 years. I'd work here part time and because Melody had classes like piano and dance she was always out. I got signed as the co-owner a few months back"

I said looking back down at my work, I'm proud of how far I've come and how effort I'd put in to my job and my daughter. I was finally growing up at a proper speed but at the same time I am still a little kid at heart.
