James POV:
Im doing the night feeds so Riley can get some rest. I pick up Ashlyn and give her the bottle. She slowely drinks it. As she drinks I glance over at Riley who is still sleeping. I smile to myself. Shes so cute. When Ashlyn is done I feed Dylan. I put them back to sleep. I go down stairs to get more bottles out of the fridge. I turn on the light and see Alfie sitting there.
'Alfie? What are you doing up?'
'Couldnt sleep. You?'
'Getting fresh bottles for the twins'
He nods.
I get the bottles and sit down next to him.
'Whats up?'
He sighs.
'Im fine'
'If a man is up at mid night saying he cant sleep and then says hes fine...theres definatly something wrong. Spit it'
He looks at me.
'Im just worried for you guyes'
'Why?'
'Because of my brother. Hes not going to stop till he gets Riley. Ive seen what hes like. If he gets his hands on her, you and me both know its not going to end well for her. And not only might you loose your wife, both thoes two children will grow up without a mother. And you know how important it is to have a mother in thier life'
I nod.
'Well what do we do about it?' I ask.
'I dont know. But Ill think of somethimg. Ill watch him'
'What will I do?'
'You take care of your family and be a good husband and father to them'
'But I want to help'
He shakes his head.
'You nearly lost Riley once. Im not going to leave you loose her again. This is the only way to make it up to you after what I did. Please. Just leave me take care of him'
I sigh.
'Okay. But Im here if  you need my help'
He nods.
I stand up and pick up the bottles.
I turn to Alfie.
'You know what Alfie?'
He looks at me.
'Your not as bad as I thought you were. I knew there was a good guy deep down inside of you'
He smiles weakly.
'Goodnight. See you in the morning'
'Goodnight James'
I leave the room.
I hope he'll be okay.
