We Meet Again | e.d

Xylie's P.O.V

We got into my car and drove off to pick up the twins. After about a fifteen minute drive we pulled up and their school and we got out and walked into the school to get them. When they came out the ran up to Emma and hugged her.

"My babies!" Emma said, kissing each of them on the forehead. 

"As much as I love you Em, they're my babies." I said emphasising the 'my,' smiling at her, making her laugh.

"Nuh-uh! They're our babies!" She defended, Grayson and I laughed at her.

"Boys I have someone for you to meet. This is your Uncle Grayson. He used to babysit you when you were babies." I told them.

 They immediately hugged him and I just awed. This could be them and Ethan if he ever mans up and takes responsibility for his actions. We got back in my car and drove to McDonalds since it's Friday so Emma and I take the twins to McDonalds every Friday. We got our food and sat at a table and talked, Grayson and the twins were getting to know each other more. Some fans came and greeted us and we said hi and took some photos and videos.

We decided we'd go visit Scott and his friends so we did.

We were laughing and just having a great time as everybody met the twins and played with them and then there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it for you?" I asked, obviously this isn't my house but I was closest to the door so I offered. They all just shrugged and nodded so I got up to answer the door.

"Yes?" I said as I opened the door, coming face to face with the one person I did not want to see.

"Xylie?" It was Ethan again.

"Hey." I sighed, trying to keep my cool.

"Hey." He responded. "I know you don't really wanna talk to me but can we please?" He looked sad. I nodded in defeat as I was just naturally exhausted and didn't wanna have to fight anybody. I stepped outside and closed the door.

"I'm so sorry, I know it's not enough but I just need you to know that I really am sorry. I was just a stupid kid and I know that's also not an excuse but I promise you I've grown up and I haven't dated anybody since you." I really wanted to believe him.

"I don't know E, you broke my heart. I don't wanna risk anything now that the twins could remember..."

"Can we please start afresh?" He asked, "As friends?" That sounded like a good, slow start to me.

"Yeah, sure."

"C-c-can I meet them?" I knew he was gonna ask this and I wanted to say 'no' but he's their dad and they deserve to at least know who their dad is right?

I nodded. "Yeah, come inside." I walked in and told him to wait outside the room where everybody was. "Boys, I have someone you may wanna meet." They looked at me along with everybody else. They both then ran up to me.

"Who is it Mommy?" They asked at the exact same time, speaking so oddly satisfying.

"Eli, Xa, meet your Dad." I said as Ethan walked in and his and their faces all lit up as they saw each other.

"Daddy!" They both yell, running into his arms.

He hugged them tight, squeezing his eyes shut as a tear drop rolled down his face.
