Perfect Timing

°32°

"Alright boys we have been here long enough time to go home, daddy and uncle Xavier will be leaving soon." The boys grab there jackets and run back to the house, we live literally 5 houses away.

"Today was a good day, im glad you found me." I tell Ara.

"Yeah me too, well i should be going, my dad will be calling me, but here's  my number, text me soon." She says once we get to the house, she grabs her things and leaves.

"Cleo, we have to leave soon, the boys are eatting in the kitchen woth Xavier and Elle, i need to talk to you, alone, before we go." Jackson says walking up to me, i get up and walk into the his office, it was the closest room.

"I did something." Oh, hes going to tell me, isnt he, oh God.

"What is it." I tell him sitting down trying to stay clam.

"So when you and the boys came back to the house the day Hunter choked Kaylen till she passed out, i got ridiculously drunk because i thought you didnt want me anymore, and no, im not blaming this on me being drunk." I looked at him tilting my head confused.

"Kaylen had woken up and started drinking with me, she kept trying to seduce me, she wouldnt leave me alone and kept trying to undo my pants, i said no so many times and told her i love you, because i do, you're the one i want to be with."

"You..." was all i could say, i wanted to hear him say it.

"We had sex, but the minute it was over i was and still am disgusted in myself, i couldnt even look at you the next day." He says, i look at him, hes not telling me everything.

"You're keeping something from me." I tell him, already feeling hurt.

"She might be pregnant, with my kid." He says not even looking at me.

"I know." I said straight up, i dont know what to feel, i want to feel hurt, betrayed, alone, heart-broken, lost, embarrassed, happy he told me, nothing.

"What?" He says clearly shocked.

"I heard you guys talking this morning, congrats daddy." I say getting up and walking out of the room, he just stays there, not moving, not even a blink of the eye.

"She said it might not be mine." He mumbles as i close the door.  I walk down stairs towards everyone else as the hug everyone who's isnt going.

"You sure you can handle Elle, she can be a diva at times?" Xavier asks.

"Any diva of yours is a diva of mine." I laugh as he hold Elle.

"Thank you." He says kissing her head and hugging her.

"So you and my sister huh?" I nudge him once he puts Elle down. He starts blushing, hard.

"I havent even liked a girl since Elles mom." He whispers.

"And thats okay, it took you four almost five years, maybe your ready, here, take her number and call her once you guys get back, you never know." I tell him taking his phone and putting her number in it.

"Thank you." He says and hugs me goodbye and walks out the door like the rest of the huge ass group. I turn back around and see Jackson come down with his suit case.

"Ill miss you guys." Jackson says to the kids including Elle as he gives them each a hug and kiss goodbye.

"I love you, and ill-"

"Just text me when you land." I tell him and get out of his way, i hear him huff and the door close behind him also.

"Hey guys its past 8 shouldnt you be in bed?" I tell them. They look at me and giggle.

"Come on march your little butts upstairs!" I tell them.

"Can we sleep in your room, please just tonight?" Hayes begs, they all turn around and beg me, i nod my head and they all jump for joy, they all go into there rooms and change and walk back out into my room and hop into my bed. I turn the tv on for them and get in myself.

Eventually they pass out and i do the same, with so much on my mind.

3 am

Creak! I shot up out of my sleep once i heard that, i heard it again. I grabed the kids and put them in the safe room that Jackson and Xavier had installed, luckily its in our room, well closet, one by one, i grabbed my phone and ran in there too, i shut the door and entered the code, i looked through the security cameras and saw people were in the house, my bedroom, the kids, and Kaylens.

"Pick up Jackson!" I whipser yelled.

"Hello?" He says groggily.

"Jackson?" I whimper.

"What! Whats wrong Cleo?" He says urgently.

"Theres people, in the house." I cry.

"Shit, im coming, where are you, where are the kids?" He asks.

"Panic room, i see them, theres about 10 of them, oh God, they are coming in the closet, Jackson, im scared." I cried silently.

"Calm down im on the next flight out of London to you." He says trying to soothe me, its not working.

"Which is a few hours." I say.

"Dont worry, im already sending people to the house, they will be there shortly, dont be afraid, the room is sound proof and the wont be able to get in, i made sure of it." He says confidently.

"Now is not the time to be confident asshole." I cry.

"Mommy whats going on?" Westen says sleepy.

"Nothing baby, here are pillows put them under Elle and Hayes and your head, share this blanket okay, do that for mommy." I tell him sniffiling the tears away.

He lays back down and hopefully went back to bed.

"God Jackson, you're supposed to be here to protect us." I cry to him.

"Dont baby me." I cry. I look at the camera and see a man staring at it.

"No no no, Jackson where are your people, i think someone seen the cameras, Jackson, please!" I whisper yell and i cry, i cant handle this.

"Baby they are almost there, calm down." He says.

"Listen im on the plane, i will call you as soon as we land, i love you." He says and hangs up. I just stair at the screen as the guy looks at the camera and turns his head sideways. Then, he waves.  I look at the outside cameras and see a group of people huddled in a circle with guns and then they split up and spread around the house. I look at the inside cameras and notice they are coming in. I see one guy stab a guy in the neck. A few others do the same. Then i see gun shots being fired in the house, i look over at Kaylens camera and see her shot up and ran to her closet.

The same guy that waved hopped out  the window and was gone, then someone walked in the room towards the closet, i grabbed one of the many  guns and aimed it at the door, they put the pin in and i took the gun off safety.

"Hey hey hey calm down! I work for Jackson, my boss, your safe!" Says a guy moving my gun from his face.

"We are?" I ask.

"Whos we?" He says i move and show him the kids sleeping.

"Shit we need to tell Xavier." He mumbles and walks out, i leave the kids there and lock the door, i follow the man and see everyone else.

"Cleo you're okay?" Says Lola, a girl i met one time when i was here the firdt few times i came.

"Yeah, are they still here?" I ask worried.

"Whoever was here is gone, for now, you go get rest, you need it, we are patrolling all night, 5 outside 5 inside, dont worry." She says i nod my head reluctantly and head back upstairs, i lock all the windows and grab the kids and put them back in bed and wrap my arm around them all in a protective stance.
