Chapter Thirty Four

Zoe's POV:

"Was that Daddy?" Honesty squeaked. I looked at her, and went into the living room. 

"Yes." I mumbled, and awaited the return of my Brother.

"So... what does that mean?" Courtney asked through the speaker.

"I don't know." I snapped.

"Don't get angry at me, Zoe. I'm not Louis." Courtney softly reminded me. I sighed, and plopped in the dining room chair with the plastic plate with a chicken wrap on it. I picked at the tortilla as Courtney hummed a song.

"Okay, well... I'm gonna go, okay?" I said.

"Alright, Zo. Stay calm, we love you. Bye."

"Bye." I mumbled before hanging up.

“Mummy?” Honesty asked softly, biting into her food.

“Hmm?” I answered. She poked her lip out in a pouty motion.

“I want Daddy.” She admitted. I felt my heart break into a million tiny pieces.

“Okay, I’ll call him and you can talk to him, how’s that sound?” I smiled. Sebastian shifted in his seat and Rachael began to clear the table.

I pulled out my phone and dialed Louis’ number, and waited for his answer.

“”Ello?” He chirped into the phone. I distantly heard water dripping in the background.

“Hey, are you busy?” I asked, looking at Honesty. She was still pouting, but not as bad.

“No, I was about to take a shower, why?” He informed me.

“Honesty wants to talk to you, but I could tell her to wait until you’re finished.” I shook my head at Honesty’s gaping face. She frowned again, and kept listening to me.

“No, no. Let me turn this water off though.” He said, and the water ceased.

“Alright, here you go Honesty.” I said, and handed her the phone. Her face lit up and she pressed the phone to her ear.

“Hey Daddy!” She squealed. Sebastian smiled and the twins got up and ran to their bedrooms.

“Niños! ¡Prepárate para un baño!” Rachael called.

“Yeah, I’m having fun. There’s a pretty beach outside, have you ever been in the water?” She asked. I noticed her accent was completely British, without even a small part American. I finished my food while she talked to Louis.

“No, Mummy cried a lot on the way here, and then she didn’t stop until Uncle Sebastian told her they were getting her something to eat.” Honesty whispered in the phone, though I could hear her. I ran back in the room, and gave her a look.

“Have you been crying?” Honesty asked, smiling at me.

“Why?” She frowned. She kept listening to the phone.

“Did it hurt?” She asked, placing a hand on her heart.

“Is it better now?” She asked. I sat beside her, and she giggled.

“Okay, bye Daddy!” Honesty dismissed the phone call, and hung up the phone.

“Daddy said he broke his heart, and he said it hurt but now it’s getting better.” Honesty informed me softly. Rachael peered from the bathroom frowning.

“Does that make you sad?” I asked softly, placing my hands over her small ones. She shrugged, and finished her food. I frowned as she walked out the room to throw away her trash, she was getting too big.
