All We Need is Love

Chapter 26

Ariana's p.o.v.

I had gotten a text from Ricky's mom the next day saying he was going to be staying with her for awhile. It feels like this might be forever though, I ruined this for us. He tried, he tried so hard for us and I let us both down. My mom and Alexa stayed last night to help with the kids, Alexa sent Jared and Sophia home around 8 so they could sleep in their own beds for the night. Frankie came over this morning after mom told him what happened.

Joan- are you okay?

Ariana- I don't know. I really fucked up this time. This doesn't feel real

Frankie- I'm going to say something and it's going to make you hate me. Is it really that surprising that you didn't last though? I mean you've already dated before and that didn't work out so why would it work this time?

Joan- Frankie don't say that. People change

I got up from the chair sitting at the kitchen table and started to head upstairs. I got halfway up when Frankie yelled up from the bottom that he was sorry.

Ariana- it wasn't what you said, I just need to lay down

Frankie- okay well if you need anything let us know

I walk up the rest of the stairs and into my bedroom, our bedroom. I open up my drawer and get out a shirt of Ricky's. He always had a shirt that he wore and left for me because I love smelling his cologne. I replace my shirt with his and go sit down on the bed. Going through my Instagram I see all the pictures of me and him and the babies. I can't believe I messed up this bad. Maybe we aren't meant to be the way that I thought we were, I mean we keep going around this big wheel of breaking up and getting back together just hurting each other in the process. I just love him too much to let him go, I can hate him all I want but I can't help but to love him.

I lock my phone and set it on the table beside the bed and I lay down. I stare at the ceiling until I hear one of the babies crying from the baby monitor. I get up and walk into their room. I walk over to Hazel's crib and pick her up. I change her diaper and set her on the floor so she could play. I walk over to Avelynn's crib and do the same. I turn around and Frankie is standing at the door causing me to jump.

Ariana- Jesus Frankie, give me a little warning next time

Frankie- sorry. Ricky is downstairs, he wants to talk to you.

Ariana- okay, I'll be down in a minute

I pick up the twins and head downstairs. Ricky is standing by the door looking down at his feet until he heard me. He looked up and grabbed Hazel when I got close enough.

Ricky- I was wondering if I could take the kids today and keep them overnight

Ariana- why don't you just stay here? We can sleep in different rooms and I'll let you have your space

Ricky- no. I'd rather not be here with you

Ariana- oh...well then I guess you can take them

Ricky- thanks

Ariana- Frankie! Where is Wilder?

Frankie- she's still taking a nap

Ricky- I'll wait for her to wake up then

He walks over and sits on the couch. I stand there for a second deciding what to do and I go and sit next to him.

Ricky- could you not do this?

Ariana- do what? I'm just sitting here

Ricky- you're going to sit here and try to talk to me making me feel bad for you and I will

Ariana- why would you feel bad for me?

Ricky- I did what you did once and I didn't understand why you would always bring it up but now I know. This shit hurts. Knowing that you chose to sleep with someone else. You think I chose so many girls over you

Ariana- did you?

Ricky- you can't be replaced Ari. You're....you, you have something that no other girl has. But me...you could find another me by just walking out that front door

Ariana- no I couldn't Ricky. Even if that were true I would still choose you

He glanced at me then looked away. He started to turn back around but stopped and just looked at the ground. I heard wilder start yelling "mommy" on the baby monitor so I got up and went to get her. I'm going to start looking for a toddler bed for her so she can get out of bed when she wakes up. She usually walks down the stairs by herself all the time so I'm not really worried about it. I get to her room and take her out of the crib.

Ariana- guess what Wilder? Your daddy is here to see you

She doesn't say anything back because she's still waking up but she smiles and puts her head on my shoulder. I have to fix her hair before they leave, it's a mess. I get all the way down the stairs and Ricky is standing at the door with their bags.

Ariana- I was going to fix her hair before you go

Ricky- I can fix it at the house

Ariana- okay. Well let me get hugs and kisses from all my sweet babies

I hug and kiss Avelynn while Ricky is holding her then I hug and kiss on Wilder. I walk over to the toys and pick Hazel up, I kiss her and walk back to the door.

Ricky- okay lets go

I walk behind Ricky still holding Hazel and I grab Wilder's hand. We put the kids in the car and I give them one last kiss.

Ricky- when should I bring them back?

Ariana- tomorrow at any time I guess. Whenever you want

He nods his head but doesn't say anything. He gets in the car and closes the door. I stay in the same spot until he is out of sight then I turn around and head back inside.
