Memories [Book 2] [A Langson Fan Fic]

Twenty-Three

Angie just shook her head as she paced the living room. Olivia had texted her husband and told him about Angie, so now all she had to do was wait for him to get home so they could deal with this all.

"I need to go use the bathroom real quick... please don't do anything." Olivia frowned, as she stood slowly and moved to head to the downstairs bathroom when Angie grabbed her arm.

"Why would you sleep with my husband?" She demanded, and Olivia sighed as she felt her son kicked her hard. Olivia gently ran her hand over her stomach to calm her child as she spoke.

"He is my husband. I have the right to sleep with him. And what we have is real... we are in love even if we have gone through a lot. And we are going to raise the girls and this little boy together. I don't care if it makes you angry, because you are making this worse for all of us." Olivia grumbled as the door opened. Trevor sighed as he quickly moved to where Angie and Olivia were standing.

He grabbed Angie's hand and pulled it away from Olivia's arm.

"Let her go do what she needs too. Once she is back, we are going to talk." Trevor breathed, before letting Olivia leave while he kept Angie still.

"I just don't see why you like her and not me." Angie whimpered.

"Angie, you just need to realize that it has been years since we have seen each other. That I still love you, but I'm with Olivia. I love her and I want to be with her. You will still be in my life because we have a daughter together and that can't and will never change." Trevor spoke. He moved close and hugged her tightly before hearing the bathroom door open. He stepped away from Angie before looking at Olivia.

"I don't know what is happening here. But we need to figure this out."

They sat down and talked for hours. Many tears were shed and there was a lot of yelling, but by the end of the day they had figured out what was going to happen. 

Trevor and Angie were going to get in contact with the state and get their marriage license voided, and Olivia and his legally refiled. Trevor was going to help Angie get a job and get settled into an apartment as close to Queens as possible so that she could have partial custody of Ember and get to know her again. It was going to be a lot of change, even if it didn't seem like it at the moment.

But more change came a few months later.

"So what happened last night?" Adalee asked quietly, as she and her sister sat together at the kitchen table as their grandmother finished making breakfast.

"What do you mean?" Serena asked as she tried to keep her smile at bay.

"Well, Momma and Daddy left in the middle of the night. That is why you are here. So, what happened?" Adalee asked as she heard the front door open. Ember quickly joined them in the kitchen.

"What's happening?" She yawned, as Serena started to set the plates down in front of the girls.

"Momma and Daddy left late last night. I have no idea where they went and Gran is playing dumb." Adalee spoke.

"Maybe they just wanted to go somewhere. Momma likes ice cream late at night." Ainsley sighed.

"Girls-" Serena started, but then her phone rang. She picked it up and left the room as the girls all looked at each other.

"Do you think it had to do something with my Mom? Like, she didn't say anything before she dropped me off so I don't know." Ember spoke.

"I don't think so. They aren't fighting anymore." Adalee sighed. They sat in silence for a while before Serena came back into the kitchen.

"Finish eating, sweet girls. We have somewhere to go after breakfast."

"Where?" Adalee questioned.

"You'll see."

The girls were driven to the hospital, where they were lead upstairs and to the maternity floor. Adalee and Ainsley were still confused, but Ember knew. She knew that their baby brother had been born and that they were now ready to meet him.

"Gran?" Ember breathed, as her younger sisters walked ahead of them.

"Yeah?" Serena asked.

"Do you know what they named him?" Ember asked, and Serena smiled softly before nodding.

"Garrett James Langan," Serena whispered. Ember smiled as she thought about her baby brother.

"He's going to be amazing... and hopefully he won't be the last." Ember grinned.

"He's one lucky baby, Em. He's got three amazing big sisters and the best Grandma." Serena grinned. Ember laughed before slowing down as they got to the room. The younger two looked back at Ember and Serena with wide eyes.

"So, can we know yet?" Adalee asked.

"Your baby brother is here," Serena spoke plainly, but that is all they needed to know before they started to cry because they were so damn happy and excited.

Olivia's labor and the delivery went smoother than the ones before. There was no extreme bleeding nor any need to be rushed to the OR. Olivia got the completely natural birth that she had wanted with her other kids, and she got to hold her son for the first several hours of his life and bond with him in ways that she didn't manage to do with Adalee and Ainsley.

"Momma?" Adalee whispered as the door was opened. All of them were still rubbing hand sanitizer into their hands to prevent getting Garrett sick.

"Hey, babies. So I guess you heard about your brother?" Olivia smiled tiredly.

"We did... but Gran wouldn't tell us until we got right outside your door." Adalee sniffled, as her father came over and hugged her before doing the same to Ainsley and Ember.

"We asked her to leave you wondering for as long as possible. So, why don't you all come over here and meet him." Olivia spoke. Her girls came over and surrounded the bed, as Trevor and Serena talked quietly in the corner.

"He's a big baby," Ember spoke, as she gently touched her brother's chubby cheek.

"He's a very long baby." Olivia laughed softly. She listened quietly as the kids pointed out different things about their baby brother before Ember sighed softly.

"Are you okay?" Olivia asked after Adalee and Ainsley settled down together and they held Garrett together because he was such a big baby.

"I'm just thinking about how everything would be different if the accident hadn't happened." Ember breathed.

"Honey," Olivia whispered.

"That accident caused this all. And if it didn't happen, Garrett wouldn't be here. I love my little brother and I hate to say this... but I'm glad that things happened how they did. Because if they had gone any other way, I wouldn't have you, my sisters, or my brother. And I love you all."
