Trystan's POV

   I got the letters out of the drawer and tears started pooling in my eyes again. The letters were in envelopes and the name of the person that the letter was for was in the front. There was a letter for Parker, Margarret, Logan, her parents, Brandon and me. I get the one with my name and put the others back in the drawer. I open it and see her neat handwriting scribbled on the paper.

Dear Trystan,
I love you and I always have. I know you're wondering if I knew about my death coming and the answer is I did. I can't really explain it but I saw the moon goddess. Ahhh, yes I saw The Fucking Moon Goddess! She was so fucking chill.

I stop reading to chuckle. Of course, only Xiomara would say that. I bring my attention back to the letter and keep reading,

But she told me I was going to pass away while giving birth and as you can see it was true. I want you to know that I would've chosen you over Brandon any time. You've picked up the pieces and from the start you have always been there for me. I know my death will bring a lot of sadness to you but I want you to stay strong. I'm sorry for just leaving you like this with the twins but it was either me or them and I'd give my life for them. Stay strong for our babies because they'll need you now more than ever. Keep being your arrogant annoying ass self and take care of yourself. I love you.

   With much love,
      Xiomara

   The letter falls from my hand and I sit on the bed as tears are continuously falling from my eyes now. There's a knock on the door but I ignore it and hope they understand to leave me alone. The door busts open and Parker, Margarret, Nathan, Logan, Nathan, and  Xiomara's parents come in barging through the door. I look down at the ground and rub my eyes furiously trying to stop the tears but to no avail they keep coming. I stop when I feel a small hand on my cheek and I look up to see Parker with a sad smile on his face and tears going down his cheeks too. I kneel down and pull him in a hug as he cries on my shoulder and I shed a few trying to stay strong for him. He pulls away and I wipe his cheeks. I stand up and get the letter from the drawer then hand it to him. He looks up at me knowing that he's silently asking if it's from her, I nod with a small smile and he goes running to his room. When we hear his bedroom door close I speak up before they decide to say anything,

"She left letters for all of us. She knew she was going to die but didn't tell anyone about it. Mrs. Reyes can you do me a really big favor?" She nods and says,

"Of course Trystan. If you need anything don't hesitate to call us, we're here for you."

"Thank you. But I'm going to need help with the twins, can you please help me out with them?"

"No problem."

   I thank her and turn my attention over to the drawer. I pull out the letters and hand them each their letter. One by one they head out of the room to read their letter in privacy. I grab the cigarettes from another drawer and go to the balcony. I light one up and sit on the ledge, how did things get this bad so fast.

Parker's POV

As soon as daddy told me that the letter was from mommy I ran out the room and went to mine. I closed the door and locked it so I can have privacy. I sat on my bed with my legs criss crossed and I took the letter out of it's envelope and started reading out loud,

Dear Parker,
  I love you baby boy. I'm sorry for leaving you like this and I'm sorry for causing you all this pain. I want you to help daddy with the twins because he might act like he's keeping it together but inside he's breaking apart. Never forget that I love you and when the twins are older I want you to tell them all about me.

    Sincerely,
      Your beautiful mother

  I read the end of the letter and wipe my cheeks as a tear falls onto the letter. I put the letter under my pillow and lay down hugging the pillow.

"Why did you have to leave mommy? I miss you."

"We all do buddy. Can you please open the door?"

  I get up and lazily walk to the door to unlock it. I walk back to the bed and lay down again. I feel the bed dip next to me and I turn so I'm facing daddy.

"Please, Parker don't do this again. I know that mommy's gone and we all miss her but...I don't want you to go into depression. I'm sorry...that you have to go through this and I know it's hard but...I'm here for you. I don't want you to keep it all bottled up inside, talk to me ok?"

   I look up at him and when my eyes come into contact with his I see the pain and sorrow in them and I break down. I throw myself on him and he just hugs me to his chest. About ten minutes later of me crying an letting it all out my cries are replaced by hiccups. Daddy and I lay down I'm the bed and the last thing I hear before falling asleep are his comforting whispers. The last thing I heard was,

"Don't worry, you're going to be all right. I'll make sure of it."
