Step brother

chapter 25

Another 4 months go by

Annie and Luke haven't been on the best terms. They're stressing out that another set of twins is on the way and they don't have enough room.

Between Annie's hormones and Luke's temper, it's not good. Annie has been looking at houses that has 5 bedrooms. Luke doesn't know yet, but how would he?

He's been out drinking and flirting with other girls. Annie knows it too. She knew he hasn't changed, but she doesn't want to divorce him because of the babies.

Annie had found a house close to their apartment and went to go look at it, without Luke. Annie went with Michael, since they were close and thought she use a guy's opinion. They meet the real estater there and introduce themselves.

"Hello, I'm Amanda Woods."

"Hello, I'm Annemarie Hemmings, and this is Michael Clifford."

"Are you guys together?"

"Oh, no. I'm married to Luke Hemmings. He was busy, and I needed a guy's opinion. So, I brought my best friend."

"Gotcha. Alright well, let's take a look at the house."

They follow Amanda into the house. Annie fell in love with it as first as they walked in.

"So, here's the entry way. To the right is the living room and to the left is the dining room, which leads into the kitchen. Would you like to tour the house in your own?"

"Yes, thank you."

So Annie and Michael walk through the first level of the house and they saw outside that it has a pool, which Annie was happy about. Then, they went upstairs to see the bedrooms. Annie thought they were big rooms and that it would be perfect.

"What do you think about the house, Annie?"

"Oh, Michael, I love the house. I wonder if luke will."

"He would be stupid not to. By the way, where is he?"

"I don't know. I haven't really seen him in a couple of days."

"Annie, sweet heart, that's not good. He should be here for you. And the babies. You have haylyn and Dillon, and you're about to put two more beautiful children in the world."

"I think he's cheating."

"What?"

"I think he's cheating. I mean I see him smile at text messages and everytime I would ask, he would yell at me, telling me it wasn't my business. But I don't want to give up because the babies need their father."

"You're right, but you also need someone to be there for you. I mean, I'm here anytime you need me, bene, and you know that."

"Thanks, Mikey."

They make their way downstairs. Amanda comes out of the kitchen.

"So, what do you think?"

"I would like to make an offer, but I need to talk to my husband first."

"Of course. There aren't any offers on it right now, so you have a bit of time, but I do suggest putting in an offer in the next couple of days. Here's my number for when you're ready."

"Ok, thank you so much and have a Nice day."

So, Annie and Michael go back to the apartment, when they find Luke, angry as hell.

"What the hell, Annie? Why were you gone and where are the babies?"

"I was with Michael and the babies are at my moms."

"Oh, are you cheating on me now?"

"No, you assbag. I was looking at a house because it's too small here."

"Oh."

"Where were you? Getting drunk off your ass and fucking other girls.?"

"No.."

"Sure. You know, I'm starting to question us. You're not even the same anymore."

"Please, Annie, I love you so much baby. I'm sorry I've been a bad husband and a bad father. I'm just stressed about that the apartment being small and you being pregnant. I'm sorry I haven't been here. I'm sorry I didn't make sure you were ok."

"Luke, you know I'm about to give birth at any point now. You can't be acting up like this. Look, I'm gonna put an offer on the house. It's beautiful and I like it. I need to know if you're willing to be there 1000% of the way. If you're not, then someone else will move in with me."

"Of course I want to be there."

"Then prove it. Get your shit together. When you realize what you're doing, then you can move in. Until then, someone is staying with me."

Annie and Michael walked out and go to see Amanda.

"Woah, back so soon."

" ï would like to make an offer."

"I'm happy for you. Sign here, here, here, and here."

Annie did what Amanda had said.

"Congrats, it's yours. Here's the keys and you can move in at any time."

Annie was happy and the babies started to kick. Michael was happy for Annie.
