Secret Mistake 3

105.

DELANO POV

I wasn't sure how to handle what Gia expressed to me. Not having a clue she was suffering like that. The only thing I could do is reassure that we love her and that we need her. When we get back I think I'll have to look up some mental facilities to see if at least one can help her. At this point a therapist isn't going to help. I do believe Gia is battling an under lying mental illness. And if that's the case she needs to take care of it now!.

She was still awake from the night before. Opening my eyes I glanced at her. She was watching television. "You been up this whole time?".

She nodded "couldn't sleep". Pulling her to me I just hugged her "you know what when I was younger I had a special person who brought me happiness from the crap I was going through".

"You did? Who?" She asked.

"My grandma. She was the best. Always took care of me the way my mom didn't. I loved going to her house. Couldn't wait to go. When it was time to go home I would cry. Knowing my mom wasn't going to be around".

"I'm sorry, but I'm happy you had her to make you happy. It must've been hard when she died".

"It was because it happened so sudden. My mom came to me and told me grandma passed away. I was confused cause I just saw her the night before" I said.

"That's weird. Wouldn't be shocked if your mom took her out" raising my brow "you don't think my mom killed her mom?". Gia blinked at me twice "Delano we are speaking of the same woman". I covered my mouth never did I put two and two together. "Holy shit! Why didn't I realize that?!".

Gia shrugged "denial?".

"Can't believe that I'm trying to console you but we discovered my grandma was murdered. The only happiness I had growing up".

"Your mom was a psychopath. She'll be damn if you're happy. So she took out the one source of it and it was grandma. Sounds like poison to me".

Sitting there in complete shock. All the memories of my grandma started flooding my brain. She was a nice old woman. Can't believe my mom would do something so cruel!.

"I guess you have to look at it as she was there for as much as she could've been" she said.

"You're right! Also, when we get back I think it'll be best for you to see a few medical professionals. I'm not doctor but I can say from seeing that you might be battling a underlying mental illness. If so, then we need to tackle it".

"Funny you say that... I was thinking the same thing. I just don't feel right. Feeling my mind is scrambling to clear" she said.

Our conjoining room door opened and Harlow came in yawning "I couldn't sleep!".

"How come?" Gia asked.

"Salem snores! And it's loud. I even put a sock in her mouth and because she inhaled the sock flew out and hit Kai in the head!" We both laughed "poor Kai".

"He didn't wake up but he moved a little" Harlow said. She climbed up into our bed and snuggled in the middle "How come your bed is more comfy than mine?".

"Harlow don't get too comfortable" I said. But before I knew it she was sleeping. Gia and I both glanced at each other and smiled. "Oh and before I forget we also need to go check on these two" she pointed to the small bump forming.

"Is it bad I already have their names?" I asked.

"Are you serious? We don't even know if it's two girls, two boys, one of each" she said.

"Yeah I know but for some reason I feel like you might be having one of each. If that's the case I have the names Ryder and River". Gia smiled "I like those names. Cute".

"What can I say? I come up with good names" Gia rolled her eyes "let's not get ahead of ourselves. I named Ryan, Salem and Harlow. You only named Kai until these two come along and that's if it's one of each".

"We'll see... let's make a bet. If I'm right... you let me get ass" I said. Gia raised her brow "Umm no".

"Come on! What do you have to lose?" I asked.

"My ass hole?! No!" She said.

"And if you win... then?" I asked.

"Hmm... then you'll have to wine and dine me for a week straight" she said.

"Deal" I smiled. This is the one time I couldn't wait to win this bet. We let Harlow sleep in while the kids went with Ryan to get breakfast. I had a whole day planned for everyone.
