Uncover part VIII

AN: I'm sorry I didn't post anything yesterday. The weather in Belgium is extremely good right now, so I'm at the beach or in the garden all the time ;P

Ant POV

We were having breakfast when Dec's phone rang. "My mum." He said. He sighed and took his phone. "Hi mum." He said with a smile on his face. "Hi Decky. I'm at your house, but it's totally desolate here. Even Rocky is gone. Where are you?" I heard her ask. "Guess 2 times." Dec said and I laughed. "I'm on my way." Was the only thing she said. 5 minutes later I heard a knock on my window. I opened the door. "Hi, Ant." She said. She looked really happy. I kissed her. "Hi, Anne. Dec's in the kitchen." I smiled. Rocky and Hurley looked up from their shared dog bed, but they smelled it was someone they knew, so they didn't move. It was so cute to see Hurley who was curled up around Rocky, protecting the smaller dog. I smiled and went back to the kitchen.

"How is my baby boy?" Anne asked Dec when I gave her a cup of tea. I saw Dec tensing up. "Ant, can you give me a moment with Dec please? There's obviously something wrong and I want a talk with him." Anne said. "No, Ant, please, stay, I need you." Dec said. I gave him a hug. His face went pale. "Mum, the reason I'm not home anymore is cause Ali and I are having a divorce." The smile on Anne's face disappeared. "You're married for only a year." She said, totally in shock. I took Dec's hand and squeezed it. "It's difficult, mum." Dec said. The doorbell rang. "We can tell them in one time." I whispered. As I expected it was my mum who had rang.

We were all together in my living room. "Boys, what's this all about?" my mum asked. "Ant, I really want to know why you're getting a divorce. I came all the way from Newcastle." "You too?" Anne asked shocked. I looked at Dec. He was crying. Only seeing him cry made my eyes water too. Dec took my hand. "Mum, Christine, we did conceal something really big for you for a very long time." Dec said. "You've been together? Did you cheat on your wives with each other?" my mum asked. We looked both at our hands. "Well, we cheated on each other with our wives to be correct." I mumbled. "What?! For how long? How long have you been together?" Anne asked. She was crying too. "22 years." Dec mumbled. Our mums both looked at us in shock. In sync they hugged us. I felt so safe in my mother's arms. I didn't held back my tears anymore. "Mum, I'm sorry." Dec cried. I sat up, I needed to hear what he was saying. "I did expect it, to be honest. I was really confused when you told me you were getting married with Ali. I always thought you loved Ant more than you loved Ali." Anne said. "You want to be together?" my mum asked. We both nodded. "We had to hide it for so long, we couldn't do it anymore." I told them, looking at my hands. "That's the only part that I'm disappointed about, that you thought you could not tell us. Maybe you could've been together in the open from the start." Anne said. "You know it wasn't that easy. Still isn't." Dec said. "Our family is so religious." Anne hugged her son. "I'm gonna take care of the family, pet. You take care of your divorces first and care for each other. Please, take care of each other." She said. I took Dec in my arms. Everything was gonna be alright.
