Chapter Nineteen

Isabelle's p.o.v

It's been a couple of days since I got that text from Thomas and I still haven't replied. 
I have no clue what I'm going to say to him.
On the one hand he is their father, but, on the other hand he left us and didn't want anything to do with the girls. 
Michael has been more of a dad to the girls in the past two months then Thomas has been in the past 5 years. 

"What if you let the girls choose?" Michael suggested while we were making lunch. 

"That's actually not a bad idea"

"Let them choose if they want to meet him then let them, but, if they don't than you don't have to reply to him or you tell him you don't think it would be a good idea" Michael said putting the girls lunch on the table and calling them in. 

"Honestly what would I do without you?!" I said lightly pecking him on the lips. 
We sat down at the table with the girls and I tried to think of a way to tell the girls about their father. 
"Okay girls, do you remember when I told you about your dad"

"That he didn't want us?!" Arial said looking up from the lunch.

"I never told you he didn't want you! Where on earth did you get that from?!" I asked shocked.
I never once told the girls that their father didn't want them.
When they asked about him and I thought that they were old enough to understand, I told him that their dad wasn't in a place where he could be a good father.

"That's what Ella said"

"Ella! Where did you get that from?"

"It's true, daddy didn't want us"

"Well that's not true. In fact, your father texted me and he wants to meet you both, the only question is, do you want to meet him?!"

Arial and Ella looked at each other for a second before answering.

"Yes Arial answered.

"No" Ella said.

"Girls I need you both to be on the same page so please can we  compromise you either meet him or you don't".
I don't mean to be harsh but if they didn't both agree on it then I can't allow him to meet them. I can't let one meet him without the other.

"Fine I'll meet him for Arial" Ella said admitting defeat. 

"Thank you sweetheart"

Michael grabbed my phone off the side and handed it to me. 
"Remember I want to be there" Michael whispered into my ear.

"You will be" I said before texting Thomas.

To Thomas:
I have decided you can meet the girls. Let me know when you're free

From Thomas:

Thank you. I'm pretty much free all the time. 

I thought of a day that would be good for us all and decided on Saturday, as I know Michael is going to be free as well. 

To Thomas:
Come here Saturday at 2. (Address)

From Thomas;
Thank you again, I'll see you then

Why do I have a bad feeling about this???!!!
