Second Chance

Chapter nineteen

Your eyes tell me that
You will love me everyday.
No matter what may come,
You will be there to stay.
Blake Lee

Nathaniel's POV

Annie and George were driving me mad with their noise,I was slowly regretting that I offered to take them to Travis's house.

They have been talking non-stop since when Hannah left them in my office.

The moments they entered my office they entered my office,they threw themselves at me nearly knocking me out of their chair.

"I am happy to see you also kiddos."I said and they giggled.

"Nathan."I took a deep breath and plastered a smile on my face before facing her,I knew she was going to lecture me.

"Don't give me that look Nathan,what did I say about taking care of yourself,look at you,you look...look malnourished."I laugh."Hannah,I don't look malnourished,stop being so dramatic,the fact that I am working so much does not mean I am not eating."she huffed."I will like to see what mother will say about that."George and Annie were currently playing with the globe on my desk.

"Hannah we are no longer children,you can't tell Stella about everything that is going on with my life."

"George come here, Annie don't touch that."she said sternly and they look at her sheepishly.

"Since you won't listen to me if I tell you to take care of yourself,I am sure you will listen to mother."

There was nothing I could say that will stop her from telling Stella.

"Where are you going for your anniversary?"I asked and she smiled.

"Santorini."

"Oh...I am very sure you guys will have fun there,you should not think about popping more babies,you already have your hands full with George and Annie."I said and she laughed.

"Sebastian wants three more children but I have had enough.i love him but no more children."she replied with a smile on her face.

Hannah and Sebastian have been married for eight years now and their love for each other was getting stronger.

"You should tell Travis to take care of them."she points to a bag."Their things are in here, Travis must not forget to give George his medicine,it is in the bag and Annie's Teddybear is in the bag,she can sleep without it."

"Hannah you know Travis will be to busy to remember all this, Simone will be there to take care of George and Annie,you should go now,you don't want to keep Sebastian waiting.

"Thank you Nathan, you are my favorite..."

"I know,I am your favorite brother."she kissed my cheek and beckoned for Annie and George.

"I am going to miss you."she placed her hands on their heads.

"We will miss you to mum."they replied in unison.

"You will only be gone for two weeks not a year."she smiled and shook her head.

"We will see what you have to say when you have your own children and you are leaving them for a day."she replied and knelt down."Promise me you will be good for your uncle Travis."

"We promise mama."

We both knew that was a lie.

"Uncle Nathan are we there yet."Annie asked with a a whine.

She was always the impatient one and was always running around,I was sure she could not wait to leave the car.

"We are almost there Annie."
