Memories [Book 2] [A Langson Fan Fic]

Twenty-Two

Olivia looked at Trevor for a long moment before shaking her head ever so slightly.

"I have to get to work." She breathed, before slowly slipping past him and heading towards her car.

"Liv, please," Trevor spoke, as he quickly followed her. He was quick to overtake her, and he stood in front of her and gently rubbed a tear from her cheek.

"Trevor, I love you so much... but I need to realize that you don't want me anymore. So please just go back to your life with Angie and Ember." Olivia croaked out. She went to move past Trevor, but he stopped her.

"We are still together. We are married even if Angie is still alive. I want to be with you." Trevor spoke.

"Trevor, why would you even want to be with me when you can have her?" Olivia sniffled.

"Because I love you, baby. I love what we have and what you are working on right now. I want to be your husband and a father to our three girls and our son." Trevor spoke. Olivia was shocked.

"I can't do that to Angie and Ember." Olivia sniffled.

"Honey, it's been too long since Angie and I were married. I still love her, but I want to be with you." Trevor tried to explain.

"And if you change your mind?" Olivia sniffled.

"Oh love... I'm not going too. So please, come home. Come home and bring our girls."

"I feel horrible," Olivia whispered.

"Don't  feel horrible, love."

"I still feel guilty but physically I feel like absolute shit," Olivia mumbled before stepping forward and hugging Trevor tightly. She felt as he rubbed her back and kissed her hair.

"Do you want to go back inside and sleep? I can hold you." Trevor spoke, and Olivia nodded.

"Please." She whispered.

That night, Olivia took the girls back to the house. Trevor held those girls tightly as tears streamed down all of their cheeks. Olivia went upstairs quietly and found Ember in her room laying face down on her back.

"Em?" Olivia asked quietly, her voice shaking. She didn't know if Ember loved her anymore after she found out her mother was still alive.

"Go away." Ember sniffled.

"Ember, it's me... Olivia. Are you okay?" Olivia asked, and was shocked when Ember quickly climbed off the bed and went running to her.

"Liv! I've missed you so much! Are the girls here too?!" Ember sobbed as she clung to Olivia.

"I've missed you too, baby. And the girls are downstairs with your Daddy... I just wanted to check in on you and see how you were doing." Olivia breathed. She caressed Ember's long black hair as she felt tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Are you back for good or just to get the rest of your stuff?" Ember sniffled. Olivia held the girl at arm's length before smiling softly at her.

"I don't know why, but your father wants to stay with me. So your sisters and I are back. Hopefully for good this time. I know we've said it before, but it just never seems to happen." Olivia breathed. She kissed Ember's forehead before they moved to the bed and sat down.

Ember reached out and rested her hand against her step-mother's stomach. She kept her eyes focused on it as they both cried.

"Liv?" Ember asked.

"Yeah, honey?" Olivia asked quietly.

"My mom is alive... like, how does that happen?" Ember breathed.

"I don't know, Em. It's kinda crazy."

"It is. She came here asking to live here with us, but I don't want her here. I want you guys here. I still want her around, but not with my dad." Ember explained, before standing and starting to pace a bit.

"I understand that, Ember. And I'm sure that she'll understand at one point or another." Olivia spoke, as she reached out and stopped her from pacing.

"I want my baby brother to have both of his parents and all of his sisters. Not just me and my Dad or you and the girls. He needs us all... and I want more siblings after him! Maybe another brother!" Ember exclaimed, as her stepmother laughed softly.

"You don't even know if you'll like him yet." Olivia laughed. Ember shook her head as she placed her hands back to Olivia's stomach.

"I know that I will love him so freaking much that it will hurt!" Ember exclaimed. Olivia smiled before nodding.

"I know that I love you so much that it hurts." Olivia breathed.

"I love you too, Mom." Ember breathed, and Olivia started to sob as she hugged Ember tightly.

The next morning, after Olivia got the girls onto the school bus, Angie showed up. This was the first time they would actually meet each other.

"You are Olivia, aren't you?" Angie asked as she walked up the path and to the porch. Olivia was standing there with her arms crossed over her chest so Angie wouldn't notice that she was shaking.

"I am... and clearly I can tell that you are Angie. You and Ember could be twins." Olivia spoke quietly.

"Can we talk?" Angie asked, and Olivia nodded slowly.

"Of course. Uh, come in." Olivia breathed. They went inside and Olivia offered to make tea. Angie accepted and while Olivia was in the kitchen, Angie looked around the living room. She had seen it in the dark, so she never saw the tons of pictures on the walls. She saw pictures of Adalee and Ainsley that were just younger versions of their mother, and she saw pictures of Ember looking incredibly happy with her stepsisters and stepmother.

"I don't know what type of tea you like, so here is one of each... then you can pick," Olivia spoke awkwardly.

"I can see that you make my family happy," Angie spoke, and Olivia bit her lip hard.

"Uh, Angie... I don't know what you want... but Trevor and I are staying together." Olivia spoke.

"What? He's my husband!" Angie exclaimed.

"He's moved on, Angie... I was willing to give up my happiness so you could have your family back, but Trevor wants me..."

"I won't allow it... I'll ruin you!" Angie exclaimed, and Olivia was wondering what Trevor had seen in her.

"Can't we just discuss this like grown adults? Trevor thought you were dead for years and that's why we ended up together. If either of us knew you were alive, we wouldn't have gotten together! And I moved out with my girls because I was certain that Trevor was going to pick you. He made his choice and we just need to work with it now." Olivia sighed.
