Falling For Him Anyway

Gwendolyn

"She said we were leaving today." I realized. "If I could've just stayed awake for a few more minutes, we could've-"

"Done absolutely nothing." Miranda said. "She doesn't have a way to carry them and run. They don't have clothes and they're newborns. We'll just have to wait until we get another chance."

I nodded and looked at my babies. "What if there was a chance that he wouldn't leave the state?"

"What do you mean?" Miranda asked.

"Doesn't he have to set some bait or whatever.

"I don't know." She said. "Maybe."

There was a sudden disturbance outside, a lot of yelling voices and items falling over.

I looked down at my babies and a sudden feeling that their safety was being threatened came to mind.

"Serena take them into the bathroom and lock the door." I handed her Xander and she held onto him but shook her head.

"I can't carry them both. I might drop one!" She said frantically.

"Miranda help her. Lay them in the tub and lock the door. Stay put and don't come out until I say." I instructed her.

She nodded and rushed into the empty bathroom.

Miranda grabbed Aliyah and followed close behind.

The commotion was starting to calm down and I could hear someone stomping, storming, towards the door.

Someone was yelling in another language.

Miranda reappeared and closed the door behind her and in the brief time it took for someone to stop and open the door, I heard the lock click.

"You little bitch. You did this on purpose! This is why you wouldn't let them help you, isn't it? You thought you could hide a whole person from me?"

I will protect my family at all costs." I spoke with confidence.

He pulled his gun out of his waistband and unlocked the safety. "Where are the little roaches. I'll kill one now."

Miranda, who stood silently across the room, slowly inched to stand in front of the bathroom door.

"Where are they?" Marquis roared.

I crossed my arms and stared at him defiantly, not saying a word.

He walked to the closet and threw the door open.

When he found it empty he immediately proceeded towards the bathroom, but Miranda stood in his way.

"Get out of my way, gottina." He tried to push her out of the way, but she stood firm.

"No." She shook her head. "Sono solo bambini!"

"Non mi interessa, non abbiamo bisogno di due!" He said angrily and hit her in ths side of her head with his gun.

Her head snapped to the side and she fell to the floor.

He began banging on the bathroom door and I screamed at him to stop.

I tried to get up but with every movement of my legs pain shot down my spine and straight to my core.

"Katia non lo penserebbe!" Miranda jumped to her feet and screamed at him.

The one word I did catch was Katia and I knew that whatever she said hit him where it hurt. And hit it hard too.

He stopped banging on the door and spun around, slapping her to the floor. "Hai ragione perché è morta!"

She didn't respond and he grabbed her by her hair. "Capisci?"

She nodded and he threw her away from himself roughly. He started banging on the door again and I heard Aliyah begin to cry.

"Per favore, fermati, farò qualsiasi cosa!" Miranda yelled at him and everything became quiet.

"Che cosa?" Marquis stopped banging on the door.

"Farò qualsiasi cosa, se li lasci soli." Miranda said quietly.

He chuckled and put his gun away. "Ti sei legato ma per ora li lascerò in pace."

Miranda's shoulders slumped and I wondered what their conversation had been about.

Marquis walks towards the door. "Persephone will assist you. We leave in four hours but for now I have other business to attend to."

He turned to Miranda. "Seguimi."

He walked out the door and she got up, trudging after him.

She closed the door behind her but not before throwing me a quick glance and mouthing 'I'll be back.'

Once the door shut I struggled to get up. "Serena!"

Aliyah's crying had cut off as suddenly as it started.

The door creaked open slowly and a teary-faced Serena stepped into view. "They fell asleep."

"Come here." I gestured for her to come closer and pulled her into my arms. "It'll be ok."

"Are you lying to me?" She asked.

"What?No." I said. "I'm serious. Xavier wi-"

"You have so much faith in your boyfriend but I'm not feeling very convinced at the moment." She stopped me. "You should sit, I'll go get the babies."

I nodded and scooted backwards on the bed until my back was against the wall and my feet hung over the edge.

There was a knock and then Persephone was there.

"Girl, you had twins?" She asked, laying down our outfits.

I nodded. "Now I have three lives to save and unfortunately not that much time to do it."

"Oh cheer up. At least we're getting out this hoe house. Finally!"

She went on chattering and eventually I just blocked her out.

I got dressed, Serena got dressed and she left some clothes for the babies.

"Finish getting ready and would a stroller or two be ok for baby transportation? Cause I know where to find some." She asked.

"That'd be fine Persephone. Thank you." I said bluntly.

She smiled and left.

Aliyah stirred in her sleep and started to cry, causing Serena to panic.

"Calm down Serena. She's just hungry." I said after checking her diaper.

I did the best I could to breastfeed both her and Xander quickly. Serena covered my chest and their heads with a towel, leaving a little space for air to get through.

Damien decided to pay a visit just when I was hoping that we were finally being left alone.

"How ya doing?" He asked, standing awkwardly by the door.

"I was fine until you got here. Serena the towel is slipping." She hurried to catch it.

"It's nothing I haven't seen before, Gwen." He said.

"And it's nothing you'll see everyone again." I said. "And don't call me that."

Heyyy
I'm back y'all!
I came back up and I'm trying to get back on schedule. I've come to realize that I actually do have a schedule: Almost every day bro. And I'm sending out a personal apology to Dapinkpoptart. I said I was going to update in less than an hour but as soon as I said that my grandma called and you know. They call, I go.

Today is a day for horoscopes.

So I want everyone to predict what y'all think will happen next.
