Teen Mom Stories: Saira

Chapter 3

The next day I took the twins to Target to get some more clothes. They were growing so much half of there clothes didn't fit them. I picked up a scarf and sunglasses, and a few pairs of cheap shoes. While we were in the kids section and James was trying on clothes in the dressing room, I saw someone I thought I would never see again. David was standing right there, looking at boys clothes. I didn't know what to say or do, but before I had time to think, James came out of the dressing room and David was staring right at us. The twins were confused, I was scared, and David was shocked. I grabbed the twins hands and said "David, is that you?" He replied immediately "Yes! Who are those kids Saira?" He replied. I told him "We'll talk once I get home. Come on, kids, let's go check out." We payed for everything and then David payed for everything, and then I told him to follow me back to my house. Once I got home I told the twins to go to their rooms and play, and I sat down with David. "David, there's something I have to tell you. Before you moved, a few years ago, remember that night we had sex?" He replied "Yeah," "Well, um, I got pregnant after that. I guess the protection didn't work. I never told you because I was mad at you and didn't want to speak to you. And, those are your kids right up there. Paige and James." David was completely shocked, and we sat there in silence for 5 minutes. "I want you to be in your kids lives. I really do. I want them to grow up with a father figure." I told him. It was silent for about 5 more minutes before Paige came down and sat on my lap. "Mommy, my tummy hurts." She told me. "I'm sorry baby, I'll go get you some medicine." I replied to her. I gave her liquid Advil and snuggled her in my lap. I took her upstairs and told her to get Into her pjs so that she could be more comfortable. I walked back downstairs and David sat there in silence for a few more minutes before saying "I want to be there for my kids. I am so sorry how I acted in the past. I was extremely rude to you. But I want to start over. I need to see my kids. I have already fallen in love with them." David said to me. I was so happy, for my kids were finally going to have a dad. I called them downstairs, and Paige sat in my lap while James sat next to me on the couch. "Kids, I have an announcement to make. David here, is you're daddy." The kids were happy and smiled. Sometimes they would come home from school and talk about their friends dads, and then they would ask who their dad was. It was such a relief they finally knew. They went over and hugged David. I could see a big smile spread across his face as he hugged his kids. That night I made baked mac and cheese since we were trying to save money from eating out, and James asked "Is daddy going to live with us mommy?" I smiled and said "Are you going to live with us David?" He smiled and replied "Well if it's okay with you, I would love to."  I was so happy and I could tell the kids were too. Later once the kids were asleep, I talked to David. "I really want to be there for my kids, so if you want me to move in here, then I will." He said to me. "Sure, but where do you live now?" I asked him. "Well, I just moved back from Australia, so right now I am staying at a friends. I just got a job working at a lawyers office." He told me. I could tell from how he acted and talked and spoke, he definitely grew up. "You can sleep with me in my room." I told him smiling. We held hands in bed and kissed, the first time in about 5 years. I was so happy to be back with David. I hadn't dated anyone ever since David 5 years ago, mainly because I was so busy with the twins. When they were first born, I had to give up practically e dry thing for them. I failed most of my school, which is why I couldn't do college. I got a job at the pottery studio because I didn't need any pre experience, and I made a fair amount of money. With David bringing in money now, the twins would finally get more which is what they deserved.
