Adam's POV
I got back in the car and headed to the hospital. I sat in the parking lot and thought about everything that has happened in the past 6 years.
Lena getting hired at the studio changed my entire life. One event led me to meeting my teenage daughter that I knew nothing about. An event that led me to having twin daughters and now a son. That one event changed everything.
I wiped my tears away and walked back into the hospital. I didn't see Jesse or James. I walked up to the reception desk and asked if Lena was out of surgery. "She's in room 111. She's recovering and awake," The receptionist said. "Thank you," I said before I sprinted down the hall to Lena's room.
Just as I reached Lena's door, my phone buzzed in my pocket. It was a text from Jen.
Adam we need to talk. Like now.
I ignored it and put my phone back into my pocket before I busted into Lena's room. She was laying on the bed with Jesse and James standing next to her. They are turned around to look at me and I saw Lena's eyes were puffy, wet, and red.
"Lena!" I said as I ran to her side and kissed her. "Hi," She said. "How is he?" I asked, referring to our son. "He's in the intensive care unit recovering from his surgery. He had a collapsed long, his heart wasn't pumping blood correctly, and his breathing was shallow," She said. "Oh my god," I said.
"I'm so sorry I wasn't here. I was on the plane and the pilot couldn't fly any faster," I said. "Adam just go," She said. "What why? My flight was delayed it's not my fault," I said. "Go. Now." She said as tears started falling down her face.
I looked at James and Jesse and they had no reaction. "Fine," I said before I walked out the door.
I heard footsteps behind me as I approached my car. "Adam!" Jesse shouted. I turned around and looked at him with tears stinging my eyes. "You Told Her!" I shouted before I punched him in the eye. "OW FUCK! NO!" He shouted. "Then how does she know!" I screamed back at him.
Jesse pulled a magazine out of his bag and whipped it at me. I picked it up and looked at it. On the cover was a picture of Jen and I when I kissed her goodbye at the airport. Inside were more pictures of us together and stories from "sources" on set.
"No! No! No!" I screamed as I whipped the magazine at the ground. This wasn't the way I wanted her to find out. I didn't want her to find out at all. I was going to leave Jen, just like I promised Sarah I would if she kept Lena and our son alive.
"I can't lose her Jesse. I almost lost her twice, I won't lose her." I screamed before I ran back into the hospital and to Lena's room. She saw me and broke into tears again. I ran to her side and felt the tears falling.
"Lena, I'm so sorry. I never wanted you to find out. It was just a fling. I planned on leaving her as soon as I came back. I regret every second of it. I wish I never signed up for that dumb movie. I wish I didn't miss our son's birth, but I did. I'm sorry Lena. Please Lena, I'm begging. I can't lose you or the kids. Please, I love you so much." I said.
"Adam please just go. I need to think about this," She said. "There's nothing to think about. I love you and you love me and you just brought our 4th child into the world. We have 3 beautiful children to take care of together and we're in love," I said. I was trying everything to save this marriage. I couldn't lose her.
"Adam please. I can't do this right now," She said. "No Lena please. I love you," I said. "I'm not so sure you do," She snapped back at me. "I do love you. With all of heart." I said. "If you love someone, you don't cheat on them. Especially when they're pregnant with your child," She said.
"Lena. I'm sorry. I regret it." I said. "That's what you say every time Adam. And you always end up never meaning it. Adam I love you, but I don't know if I'm in love with you anymore. All the lies are tearing me apart. I can't take it Adam. It's not healthy for the kids. I need time to think. Find somewhere else to stay for now," She said.
I couldn't say anything that would change her mind. I walked out of the hospital and climbed in my car. I pulled my phone out and texted Jennifer.
I know about the magazine. Lena saw it and told me she needed time to think about our relationship. She kicked me out of the house for now.
She responded right away.
You're more than welcome to stay with me
I had to do what I had to do.
I'm sorry Jennifer, but no. I need to make things right with Lena. We're over Jen. Please don't hate me. I want to keep my wife and my kids. I love them too much to let them slip through my fingers. I'm done being dishonest and a cheater. Goodbye Jen.
I went to my contacts and deleted Jen's number and deleted her from all my socail media accounts. I deleted all our meassages and e-mails and phone calls. I stuffed my phone in my pocket and sped out of the parking lot. I was going to make it up to Lena.
I was going to prove to Lena that I truely love her.
