Beauty To Broadway (Hamilton)

Chapter Twenty One

I made it home before Lin that night, it was almost 11:30. I put Coral to bed as soon as we got there and my mom crawled into my bed and fell asleep shortly after. Lin got home about half an hour after we did. I heard him come upstairs, I got out of bed and went to the door. He looked at me as I opened it.
"We'll talk to her about it tomorrow, there's no reason we have to do it tonight," he said, he seemed slightly irritated. I nodded and then shut the door, and went to bed.

I pretty much didn't sleep the whole night, not because I have a newborn, but because I was so worried about what Vanessa would say. But when I finally woke up for good, I woke up three times to feed Coral, it was by my mother at around 10 so that I could feed Coral again. I fed my baby and then I took her with me downstairs. Lin, Sebastian, and Vanessa were in the living room watching Chuggington. My mother was behind me. Lin got down to Sebastian's height and asked,
"Sebastian, why don't you and Mrs Ayala go outside?" Sebastian loved my mom and ran out to the backyard with her as fast as he could.
"What's going on?" Vanessa asked. I sat down on the couch, Vanessa sat in between Lin and I. I held Coral as she drifted off to sleep again.
"During the show last night I kissed Saint," Lin bluntly stated.
"Of course you did, she played your wife, you guys kiss twice," She said. Lin took Vanessa's hand.
"I kissed her when I wasn't supposed to, when I wanted to because I had feelings for her," Lin said. Vanessa took her hand back.
"You have feelings for her?" Vanessa asked. She turned to me, she had tears welling in her eyes. "Do you have feelings for him?"
"I did, but we talked about it last night and got it figured out. There are no feelings anymore. I love Lin and you, like you are my family, my brother and sister. I'm not willing to risk the relationship I have with you both and I expressed my feelings about the kiss to Lin. It will never happen again," I assured her.
"In light of recent events, deciding to adopt Coral and Coral's birth, I was just confused. It was an in the moment thing, and it will never happen again," Lin said. I swear to god if I hear him say that again, I'm going to punch him.
"Okay," Vanessa replied.
"If you want me to move out, I completely understand," I said.
"Oh god no honey, I understand the confusion, I do. I trust that you both have talked things out and I'm sure it's tough enough to talk about, we can all move on past this. Forgive and forget," she said. Lin put his hand on her hand.
"Thank you," he said. She pulled her hand away from him and walked out. A door shut, I assumed she went outside. Lin looked at me.
"Phillipa and Renee are out for tonight's show too," he said.
"Maybe you should put Javier in for tonight," I suggested.
"If that's what it takes," Lin said.
"If that's what it takes?" I asked.
"To get you to forgive me," he replied.
"I have nothing to forgive you for. I have to forgive myself for falling for you," I said. I left and went up to my room. I put Coral in her crib and then pulled out my laptop so I could do some writing.

My mother, Lin, Coral, and I got to the theatre a few hours before the show, like usual. I was in Jasmine's dressing room, she was gushing over Coral. My mother was out with Lin, he was giving her a tour. Jonathan came into the room.
"Hey Saint, can I share this photo of you?" He asked. He showed me his phone, it was the selfie he took with me in the background breastfeeding Coral backstage during intermission, my dress was covering everything and nothing was showing so I was okay with it. Jon looked great in the picture too.
"Yeah sure, it's funny," I replied.
"Awesome, thanks," he said as he left.
"So you and Jon are pretty good friends," Jasmine said.
"Yeah, he's nice, Lin introduced me to him and we just kind of hit it off friend wise," I replied.
"What's going on with you two?" She asked.
"Me and Jon? We're just friends," I replied.
"No, you and a Lin," she corrected me. I sighed. "Don't act like I didn't notice the kiss between you two that totally wasn't supposed to happen." I got up and shut the door.
"You totally cannot tell anyone that you have any suspicions about Lin and I's relationship," I said.
"Woah, Saint, everyone's talking about it. I'm just asking," she replied.
"Yeah, I thought that would happen. It was nothing, just putting on a good show," I lied.
"Do you have feelings for him?" She asked.
"No," I replied. I took Coral from her and then left the room.
"Saint!" She called after me.
