Secret Love

Chapter Thirty Seven

Chapter Thirty Seven

After feeding the twins, I brought them down and found Jacob sitting at the kitchen table with his eyes closed.

If I didn't have the twins in my arms I would have thrown water on him.

“Jake, you ok?” I asked.

“Yep.” He said jumping awake.

“Didn't you sleep well last night?” I asked.

It was funny I have new born babies and I'm him if he didn't sleep well.

“I was on the phone nearly all night that’s all.” He said and took Addison off me.

“To a girl?” I questioned wiggling my eyebrows.

“Yes, I don't want to talk about it, I might jinx it.” He smiled.

“Ok, well I want to meet her if it gets serious.” I grinned and then yawned. “So you start college soon?” I asked.

“Yep.”

“Have you chosen which one because you only have a week?” I said and reminding myself that Elliot goes back in a week too.

“Yeah, I think I'm going to stay here.” I looked up at him.

“Why? Do you not want to go away?”

“Not really... I’ve got you and Elliot and now the twins, if I'm going to be the favourite uncle I need to be here.” He smiled.

“Jake... is this about the girl.”

He sighed and nodded.

“Ok and if you think she is worth it then maybe you should stay but don't blame her that you never went away because this is your decision not hers, mine, Elliot, your parents. Just yours, got it.” I smiled and gave him a side hug.

“Yes Mom.”

I laughed.

“Hey guys, they’re up?” Elliot said.

He walked through with Alex and George carrying grocery bags.

“Hey.” I smiled and looked at the clock and was surprised that it was nine.

“Why didn't you wake me?” I asked Elliot.

“Because you needed your rest, baby.” He said kissing my head and putting the groceries away.

“So when is the wedding, guys?”  Alex asked.

“We haven’t really thought about it.” Elliot said.

“So who’s going to be your best man.” Elliot stilled but went back to packing.

“I don't know.”

“Well, it should be me.” All three of them said.

“Nice one.” Elliot mumbled.

“What do you think Ari?” Jake asked.

“No , don't get me involved.” I said.

“I will pick, but I don't think there should be a wedding anyway.” A voice said from the doorway.

I sighed and turned towards Leila and noticed her glared to me.

I looked at the ceiling, ‘why God? Why can I not have a nice peaceful life from now on with no stupid murderers or sluts or anything coming after me? Please.’ I questioned.

Elijah started crying in my arms and I rocked him but he still didn't settle.

I just changed him and he doesn’t smell and I have just fed him too.
