It Never Will Be The Same.

Chapter 30:

Leah's POV:

"Your father, he's dead."

"Youre kidding." I whisper. She shakes her head at me.

"I wish I was babygirl." she says and wipes the falling tears.

"What happened??"

"They shot him. They finally found him and killed him."

"Who?"

"The drug dealers he was associated with."

"This isnt happening!" I say and she nods.

"It is... I wish it wasnt, but it is."

I feel my heartbreak as I see my fathers will.

I grab the letter attached to it and read.

Dear Leah,

I wish I could've been a better father. It was my fault you had to deal with shit when you were a little girl. It was my fault that mum cried everynight. it was my fault, and now... Now I got what i deserved. I love you, Leah. And I hope you live life happy.

Love always and forever,

Dad. Xx

I started to cry just reading this. He blames himself, when its not his fault.

"Leah..."

I looked around and see nothing but sirens, and police officers.

Who was calling my name?

"Dad?!"

"Dads gone, baby."

"No hes not!" "Leah!"

"Leah! Wake up!"

I sat up and looked around.

"Babe! Are you okay?"

"Hand me the phone." I say. My breathing was heavy, and my heart was pounding crazy.

He grabs my phone and hands it to me.

I dial my mum and hear it ring.

"ello?"

"Mum..." I cry.

"Baby, whats wrong?"

"Is dad alright? Can i talk to him?"

'Sure? Hang on."

"Ello?"

"Daddy..."

"Leah, whats wrong?"

"Its not your fault dad...youre amazing. Please, please dont ever, ever, blame yourself okay? I know i sound pathetic, but just know i love you and Im so proud of you, okay?"

"Okay, Leah... Whats wrong?"

"I had a dream..and.. You - your drug dealers from years ago found you and shot you." I say.

"Baby, thats not gonna happen... Okay?"

"Okay."

"Just calm down, and go back to sleep, okay?"

"Okay. I love you."

"I love you too." He says and I hang up.

Chad grabs me and pulls me into his chest. I cant stop crying.

"It was so horrible." I whisper and hear my bedroom door open.

"Mummy?"

I look up and see Greg standing in my door way.

"You okay?" he asks, and climbs on the bed.

"Im fine. Come here." i say and pull him into my arms.

"I hear you crying." he says. I nod and cry harder.

"Dont cry. Its okay."

"I know." I say and wipe my tears. He kisses my cheek and smiles.

"All better?"

"All better." i say and laugh. Chad smiles and kisses the top of my head.

"What time is it?"

"8:00 AM." He says and I nod.

"You have school,

Mister." i say to Greg.

"Nooooo." He says and I laugh.

"Or you can stay home." Chad says.

"Uh, what?"

"Give the kid a break."

I roll my eyes and look at greg.

"Pwease mummy!!"

"Fine." i say and he smiles.

"Yay!" He says and stands up, then starts jumping.

"Okay, okay, enough." I say and he stops.

"I have an appointment at 10." I tell chad and he nods.

"Okay."

I get out of bed and put on a sweater.

"So what was your nightmare about?"

"It was freaking crazy," i say and take off my pajama bottoms, "there was cop cars and ambulances... Sirens.. screaming.., mum like came up to me and told me he was dead."

"Oh wow." he shakes his head and tickles Greg.

I put on some jeans and a my toms then put my hair in a pony tail.

"Go get dressed Greg." i say and he leaves the room.

I rub my eyes and sigh.

"Whats wrong boo?" Chad smiles.

"Sleepy."

"Awh. Well, we get to find out how the babies doing." he smiles and gets dressed.

I nod and lay on the bed.

"Chad?"

"Hmm?"

"Okay. What if i was pregnant with-"

"Mummy mummy"

"What baby?" I ask and he shows me his toy.

"Its head is broke!"

I laugh and put the head back on.

"Lets go." Chad says and grabs the keys.

"Mrs. Dallas?"

I stand up and Chad follows me to the room.

"Lay down, and lift your shirt please." she smiles and Greg looks at me with big eyes.

"Mummy! Whats in your belly?"

I look at him

and smile.

She puts the gel on my belly and moves it around.

"Well, i have a bab-"

"Two babies in there."

"What?"

"What?" Chad says and she smiles.

"Your having twins."

I look at him and he smiles at me.

"Congratulations!"
