One Million Branches

Part Twenty Five

*4 years later*

“Mommy are we there yet?” Leia asks.

“Almost sweetheart.” I coo pulling into the side parking lot of the stage.

“Mommy are we going to see Daddy?” Luke asks.

I nod my head and pull into the parking spot.

I hook the VIP pass Vic gave me to my jeans loop and open the door.

I shut the door and open the door on Leia’s side.

“Alright you and your brother wait right here while I grab Mitch okay?” I say.

“Okay, Mommy.” Luke says standing next to his twin sister.

I grab Mitch’s car seat out along with the diaper bag and spin around. I shut the door and then look at Leia and Luke.

Their features match Tony so much. Their big brown eyes and black hair. His nose and lips. I smile at them and then lock the car.

I head up to the side door and show the pass to security guard.

“Mommy does Daddy know we’re here?” Luke asks.

“No. Only Uncle Mike, Vic and Jaime do. But Daddy doesn’t know yet.” I say with a smile.

“Yay! I love surprising, Daddy!” Leia yells.

“Sweetie, if you want him to be surprised then you have to be quiet okay?” I say.

“Okay! Luke don’t talk either!” Leia says holding hands with her brother.

I smile and continue down the hall.

I turn and see Pierce the Veil’s dressing room.

“Mommy why don’t you do shows a lot anymore?” Luke asks.

“Shhhh!” Leia hisses at him.

“Shut up!” Luke says.

“Mom!” Leia whines.

“Both of you stop.” I say setting the car seat down and bending down to be face to face with them.

They look me in my eyes and I smile at them.

“I don’t do shows a lot anymore because I have you guys.” I say smiling.

“Why does Daddy still do shows then?” Luke whispers.

“Because he like doing them. But this is his last show for a while. He’ll be home with us again in a few minutes.” I say.

Leia claps and jumps up.

“Okay ready?” I ask.

They both nod eagerly and I stand back up.

I crab Mitch’s car seat and head to the door.

I knock on it and Vic yells for me to come in.

I open the door and Luke and Leia take off running when they see Tony.

“Daddy!” They screech.

“Leia! Luke!” He cheers picking them up.

He looks up and smiles at me.

“Hey. Both of you go with Uncle Jaime, Vic and Mike. Okay?” He says.

“Okay Daddy!” They both yell running up to the guys.

The boys drag them out of the room.

“Be careful with them!” I yell to them.

“Hi, Baby.” Tony coos kissing me gently.
