Sydney's POV
"Hello, Father."
I couldn't believe it. The person the boys had been protecting us from was our own god damn dad. The man who was supposed to love and care for his children, not kidnap them so he could spend some time with them. The sick idiot.
I looked at him, studying him. He looked exactly the same, except his blonde hair was turning slightly grey and he had a few wrinkles but otherwise he hadn't changed. I had never thought of seeing him again, the only thoughts that were left of the man sitting in front of me were the bad ones. The ones after my mother died.
I was frozen.
"How have you both been?" He asked in a fatherly tone. He wasn't acting as if this was the first time he has seen us in a few years, he was acting like this was a weekly thing.
"We've been fine, how have you been?" I responded, going for the polite approach. He nodded before turning and calling someone into the room. After a few seconds a lady rushed into the room. "Dinner." Was all he said before she scurried out of the room and appeared a few minutes later with a tray, that had three plates on it.
I looked around the dining room as she placed our plates in front of us. My eyes stopped at Jesse and Jamie, who were standing at one door, before looking at the other door to see two large men standing there, with such straught faces I wouldn't of been able to keep.
"How are the twins? Behaving I hope, no sons of mine should be father's just yet." Far...I mean Daniel asked. I looked at Em before looking at Daniel and giving him a flat look. "Then I guess you only have one son."
Daniel's hand slipped as he was cutting his meat and knocked his glass over, making his drink go everywhere. Daniel turned sharply towards the lady before speaking. "Maria, what are you standing there and watching the scene for? Go get some cloths to clean this mess up, idiotic girl!" Maria rushed through the door where Jesse and Jamie were, that must of lead to the kitchen.
"What do you mean you guess I only have one son?" Daniel angrily asked me.
Maria came scurrying back into the room with a few tissues and cloths to clean up the mess of drink. I once again just gave him a flat look. "It might interest you to know," I started sarcastically, "that you will be a grandfather in a few months." I finished with a small smile. The look of shock on Daniel's face was priceless. "Emily, this is not true is it?" He seemed to be pleeding that it was a lie.
"No father." Emily said and a look of releif covered my fathers features. "It is very true, we will be aunties and Nate to be an uncle." The horrified expression was back on Daniel's face. His hands balled into fists and he slammed them on the table.
The loud bang made both Em and I jump. Daniel turned to us. "Hurry and finish your dinner, then Sam and Jesse will take Sydney to her room while Ben and Jamie take Emily to her room."
We quickly finished eating and drank all our water before we dismissed ourselves from the table saying goodnight to Daniel and being taken to our bedrooms. I gave Em a hug goodnight before kissing her forehead and entering my room. I grabbed some clean underwear and some pajama's before heading into the ensuite for a shower.
There was a little cupboard near the left end of the shower with a towel rack above it. When I opened the right side of the cupboard I found all the products a lady needs. When I opened the left I found a towel on the bottom shelf, shampoo, conditioner and body wash on the top shelf. I had a quick shower before heading into my room and laying on my bed.
I checked my phone to see I had a message from Luke, asking if I was ok? I was about to reply when there was a knock at my door. I quickly locked my phone and stuffed it under my pillow before going to open the door. Standing there was Jesse with two phones in his hand. "Pick on!" He said before shoving them both in my face. I looked at them both. One was a light blue while the other was a light purple. I instantly took the purple knowing Em would like the blue one better.
