it's always been you.

"What do you want?"

I asked, looking at Mella and Cass.

"We just wanted to stop by and say congratulations."

"Why? You told us we couldn't take care of our babies. Why do you wanna congratulate us?"

I asked them.

"C'mon Bayley-"

"No Cass. You two haven't said a word to us for over a year and now that we have kids, you suddenly care?"

I said, crossing my arms.

"And we're sorry Bay."

Mella said.

"Please forgive us."

She said. I took a deep breath and sighed.

"Fine. We can always use more hands with these two."

I said, looking down at the twins. Mella and Cass walked over and smiled at them.

"They're so precious."

She said.

"They really do look like you and Finn."

Cass said as I smiled. Then I felt my phone buzz.

Aaron:
So you forgive them and not me? Nice to know. At least Chloe and Dylan will be home with us soon. And make sure your guard dog watches his back. Can't wait till we're together at last. Soon babe. Soon.

I read the text over and over again in my head as I felt my heart race. Would my family ever be safe?
