#torment (sequel to #twinning)

22

For the rest of the picnic I was just squealing with joy and clung to Matthew. I barely ate I was so happy. Once it was time to go home Claire and Aiden stayed back and picked everything up while Matthew, Skylynn, Alexander, and I went back home. I just squealed the whole way home.

"Okay when we walk in, none of you can say anything to them okay. We are all going out to dinner tonight and that's when we are going to do it. So B I hate to burst your bubble but you're going to have to put that away for now." Matthew said as we pulled into the drive way. I just whined a little bit.

"Ugh, fine. But can you put it into your pants pocket please?" I asked him while taking the ring off. Matthew smiled and nodded. He then put his hand out while I carefully placed it into his hand. We all then walked inside together.

"Blakey!" Kylie squealed as I walked in the front door. I giggled and picked her up. I gave her a little kiss on the cheek too and she giggled.

"Well someone is excited to see me!" I said while tickling her belly. 

"Hey um guys I was wondering if we could go out as a group for dinner tonight, you know so we can kind of finally say we are back together as one." Matthew suggested. He then looked down at me with a smirk.

"Well isn't that what we did last night?"  Nash said while chewing his food. I rolled my eyes at him.

"No, that was a party. This would be a sit down nice thing where we can all talk and celebrate." Matthew said with smile and a nod of his head. I chuckled and grabbed onto his arm.

"I think it would be a great idea." I said with a big smile on my face. All the boys then agreed to it once I say we should. So I chuckled a little bit. I then went and skipped over to Aaron and Ivy who were playing with little baby Jayce.

"Hi Jaycey. How are you. Oh my goodness you are such a handsome little boy." I said in my baby voice. He then grabbed onto my fingers. And I shook them and he had a big smile on his face.

"When are you going to have one of your own?" Ivy asked. I looked up at her with a confused smile.

"What?" I asked.

"Your own baby, when are you going to have your own baby. Because you and Matthew would have beautiful babies." Ivy said. I chuckled and put on a fake smile.

"Oh I don't know, in the future eventually I'd like some. Just not now." I said with a nod. Ivy nodded and smiled with me. I then got up and walked over to Carter and sat next to him on the couch.

"Hi. How are you? How was coffee?" Carter asked. I sighed and then looked up at him.

"Coffee was great, and I'm doing great too." I said while nodding. Carter then took my hand and smiled too.

"Good. Because you I don't want you to ever get hurt ever again like you used to." Carter said with a small smile. I grimaced and nodded my head.

"Well of course. I don't want to be hurt like that either. I don't want to go down that deep hole like I did last time. But Carter I am glad we are friends." I said with a real smile. Carter smiled back at me and nodded. Ellie then came running towards me and sat next to me. 

"Hi Blake." She said with a big smile.

"Hello Missy." I said while tickling her belly. She giggled and pushed me away.

"I am doing fantastic! And so I also wanted to know if you could come to one of me and my friends sometime so they could me you. Because once they found out that you're my aunt they all like freaked. I just like totally rolled my eyes. But please! You would totally be like my favorite." Ellie begged. I chuckled and nodded.

"I guess, but then that means we are going to have to get ice cream sometime. Just me and you. Our own little date. Not even Matthew would come." I said and we both giggled a little. I then looked up to see Will walking over to us.

"Is Eloise Marie bothering you?" Will asked while picking her up and then setting her down on my lap so he could sit in her spot. I chuckled and shook my head.

"Of course not, she is the most kindest and respectable ten year old I know, and I don't know many ten year olds." Carter chimed in. And we all had a good laugh.

"Well good, because she has been having some listening problems at home. You know like not having her room cleaned, or taking the trash out, and the worst one is not feeding the dogs." Will said while shaking his head. I opened my mouth in shock at Ellie.

"Excuse me, maybe I'm going to have to rethink going to meet your friends Eloise Marie Grier. I don't think I could do that for someone who doesn't listen." I said while shaking my head. Eloise just giggled.

"Maybe she isn't the most respectable ten year old I know?" Carter said while raising his eyebrows. Eloise just rolled her eyes at him.

"Did I ever go through this sassy stage." I asked Will. He just laughed at me.

"Oh goodness no, you were to busy reading and you barely even spoke let alone be sassy. So no, never. You eventually came out of your shell but never sassy." Will said while shaking his head and laughing his ass off. I rolled my eyes and punched his arm. He then faked cry baby.

"Well I'm sorry I'm not normal. Or whatever but just shut up." I said while rolling my eyes and crossing my arms.
