Lauren Monique

"Elijah please" holding his arms I stopped trying to wash him. "I need to clean your cuts and get the dirt out of the wound on your side. Please let me help"

Pushing me backwards he tried to do it himself. He's pushed me away six times since Alex got him to agree to get into the tub.

He never hit or said anyone me but he'll push me away with just enough force to make me take a few steps back.

Grunting he cleaning his cuts the best he could before throwing the rag at me, catching it I let out a breath of air trying to keep myself from lashing out at him.

"I'm here to help you dimwit, so let me. We both know I'm not good with the disrespect so please cut it out" glaring at him I pulled the stopper out the drain

"Lauren" Alex whisper shouts from the bedroom. "I know you're upset but try to remember what he's been through and isn't well enough to realize what's going on yet"

Yeah I know trauma can rewire someone's brain and shit but damn how he not recognize me?

I have to right to be upset about this, right?

"Check on my kids please, if Delilah's asleep take Squirt and put him in his crib. Don't forget to take the stuffed animals out of it first and pillows"

"Delilah is going to be mad at me if she finds out I did it" he whines "I hate when she's mad at me"

"Alessandro, portami Isabella" Elijah yells eyeing me as I lightly touched his opened wound. (bring me, Isabella)

"You know what? Alex, I'll check on them, how about you help your bestie" getting up I left before he could protest, taking my socks off I threw them in the hamper

I'm sitting here with his dried blood on my socks, fighting back tears while helping him get cleaned up and he's wanting another woman? Seriously?

"Lauren" Alex's arms wrapped themselves around me pulling me into a hug. "just breathe and take a minute, I can only imagine what your going through right now in this moment but-"

"Seems like Isabella is who he wants to find her"

"Do you want that? I have one of his doctors coming over in the morning to give him an evaluation until then bare with him please"

If it was me I wouldn't want Elijah to give up on me. . .

"Okay" nodding I pushed him away gently going into Delilah and Sienna's room.

Delilah held Squirt to her chest, both of them snoring with the covers on the floor, the only thing that's covering them were the sheets.

Sienna and Geovani slept on the other bed holding each other as well.

"Just wait till Eli sees this" Alex mutters looking at Sienna

"Dee let go" trying to peel her hands off Sqiurt, she whined tightening her hold. "Lilah let him go"

"You mean, taking my baby" she sits up grumpily giving him to me, looking beside me her eyes lights up once she sees Alex. "Uncle Al, Dada's home?"

"Ye-"

"No" I cut him off quickly shaking my head. "he's not back yet"

I forgot what I told her but it was somewhere along the lines of Elijah going to find her a present or something. I didn't know how to explain the situation with the imposter so that's the best excuse I could come up with.
