Anthony looked at me. He's not going to leave, I have too much faith in him. I should've just told him and trusted him. "Well they are adorable" Anthony smiled at me then turned to the girls. "What's your name?" He asked. "Ella, and this is my sister Emily" Ella smiled. "Well my name is Anthony" he smiled. "How do you know my mommy?" Emily asked.

"I'm a very special friend of your mommy's" Anthony smiled up at me. "Mommy are you going to marry him?" Emily asked. "Maybe one day in the future, but right now, mommy's only 18" I crouched down to their height. Ella came over to me and waved me down. I leaned my ear towards her and she whispered. "Wait does that mean I get to call him dada?" She asked. I giggled. "That's a discussion for later" I smiled. "You're putting me in my feels, damn" Noah sighed.

Anthony and I laughed. I looked at Emily and her arms were crossed, she was still standing by Noah. "Emily? Honey what's wrong?" I asked. "I'm never calling him dad" she shrugged. "Emily-" before I could say anything else, I noticed Noah brought the girls bags in. "What?" I asked referring to the bags. "I'll be back to pick up the girls in 2 days" Noah sighed. "Alright, they didn't get hurt?" I asked. "Nope not at all" Noah smiled. "Okay" I sighed.

"Now back to you-" Emily grabbed her bag and walked up stairs. I sighed. "Hey, it's fine, she's just like any other kid, she doesn't want to see her mom get hurt" Anthony gave me an understanding smile. I sighed and stood up. "We've already gone over the whole I miss you part so I'll just give you a hug and avoid crying because I'm an emotional piece of shit" I sighed. Noah laughed and hugged me.

"It was nice meeting you man, I see you and my sister are very good for each other" Noah smiled referring to the rings on our fingers. "Yeah, one day, I hope it won't just be a promise ring" Anthony smiled down at me. I felt my heart turn into a butterfly. Noah turned to me and gave me a 'damn he good' look.

"I know right" I gave him a look. Noah laughed. "Alright I'll see you guys soon" Noah smiled as he left. "Love you all" Noah added. "Love you too!" Ella and I yelled. Noah shut the door and the girls turned to me. "So since it's my first time meeting the girls, I think we should all go have fun" Anthony smiled. "Can we go to chucky cheese?" Ella asked. "Of course" Anthony smiled at me. "Alright, so we should probably go get ready, then I'll get the girls ready and we can go" I nodded.

Anthony smiled and nodded. "Can I has a piggy back ride?" Ella pulled on his hand. Anthony looked down at her, picked her up and put her on his back. We all ran up the stairs. I brought the Ella into the room, Jonah let Anthony borrow one of his outfits. I didn't even ask him, I didn't plan on asking him, Anthony didn't either, we didn't plan on going anywhere either, he just did it. Jonah's an amazing person.

When we walked into the room, Emily wasn't in there. "Alright, I'll go change in the hall bathroom" Anthony nodded. I smiled in response. "Mommy will be right back okay?" I smiled down at Ella. She nodded and flopped on her bed. I left my room and looked around. I walked into Jack's room but Emily wasn't in there, she wasn't in Corbyn or Daniel's rooms either. I checked Jonah's, expecting her to be there but she wasn't.

I finally walked into Zach's room and saw them both sitting on the ground, playing with dolls. "There you are" I sighed and smiled. "Hi mommy" Emily didn't sound as cheerful as usual. "Come on, I wanna talk to you" I held my hand out. "Thank you for watching her" I smiled at Zach. He nodded. Emily grabbed her dolls and walked over to me, grabbing my hand. We left Zach's room. I walked into our room and shut the door.

I crouched down in front of her. "I don't want him to be my dad" Emily started tearing up before I could say anything. "Oh hun" I pulled her into a hug to calm her down a bit before speaking. Then I pulled back. "Look at me, okay?" I looked at her. She wiped her tears and looked at me. "If you don't want him to be your dad, he doesn't have to be, he won't be in fact. Okay? I promise" I held my pinky out. She wrapped her pinky around mine.

"But he does want to go to chucky cheese, do you want to go or do you want us to all stay home and watch a movie? Or whatever else you want to do?" I asked. "No, I want to go" Emily nodded. "Okay, play with your sister, mommy's gonna go change, I'll be right back" I smiled. "Why? You look so pretty" Emily tilted her head. "It'll be harder to play tag in this dress" I smiled. She giggled and nodded. I walked into the bathroom and changed into.

I brushed my hair out and it stayed curly. I just threw it up into a messy bun and grabbed my phone. Before I walked out, I heard one of the girls talking. "What is love?" Emily asked. "Love is when you can't find the words to express how much you care for someone, you care about them so much that you're not even afraid to lose them because you know it won't happen, in some cases that isn't true, but in this case, I know it is" Zach smiled.

That's not how I define it. If you're looking for the word to describe caring about someone beyond all rationality and wanting them to have everything they want no matter how much it destroy's you, it's love, and when you love someone, you don't stop, ever. It never goes away. Even when people roll their eyes or call you crazy, even then, especially then. "So do you love my mommy?" Ella asked. "No" Emily huffed.

Zach paused. "Not in that way, but, between you and me? I think mommy is very pretty" Zach smiled. I noticed that he was getting the girls ready while talking to them. I opened the door and the girls were ready. "Mommy you look really pretty" Carmin smiled. "Thank you lovely, so do you" I smiled back at her.

Zach looked at me and smiled. Most guys my age that were interested in me would've left me after they found out I had 2 daughters. But most guys aren't Anthony. And most guys who are my friends would've made fun of me for getting "knocked up" at a young age. But most guys aren't why don't we.
