A/n: This is a really shitty chapter by the way... sorry...
Scarlett Adams
"Why are you so quiet?" Christy said as she folded laundry. I looked down at my coffee that rest between my hands then back up at my aunt. "I just had a long flight."
"I bet." She smiled as she folded a blue shirt.
"Where's Alex?" I asked, looking around.
Christy cleared her throat, "Um, she's out with Trent." Trent?
"Who's that?" I asked. "Alex's biological dad." My mouth dropped. Before I could respond, Christy interjected, "He messaged me through Facebook when he saw a picture of her on my page. I couldn't say no, Scarlett."
"You don't have to explain it to me, I just hope you know what you're doing." She nodded, "I am. I think this is for the best, Alex needs to get to know her dad and vise versa. It was selfish of me to keep her from him for as long as I did. It's what's best for everyone."
"Are you sure?" I asked.
She nodded, "Of course. I am so glad your home."
"Me too. So when are you due?" I asked.
"March 5th, and it's a boy."
I smiled, "Have you picked out a name?"
"Dante Kole Hough." I froze, Dante was Finn's middle name and Kole was my dad's name.
"Is that okay?" She said. I sat down my coffee on the oak center table and I hugged her, "Of ocurse it is. Thank you."
. . . .
"How is your trip going?" Liam said.
I paced the edge of the pool, peering into the crystal water. "It's nice. I'm happy to see everyone."
"That's good."
"How's London?" I asked, trying to make conversation.
"Lonely. Jay has been out every night this week, so it's just been me." I smirked, "Good for Jay. He's finally found someone."
"Well, he better not be a douche."
I looked over at house, Christy was hugging Todd. "Yeah, hey so Todd's home. I have to go say hi before he leaves to go see his mom."
"Have fun. I can't wait for you to get back." Playfulness in his tone. "You too." I hung up before I said something stupid. I shoved my phone into my jean pocket and headed inside.
"Well, who is this stranger?" Todd hugged me the second I stepped through the door.
"Hi," I smiled as I hugged him back.
"What do you think of the house?" "I like it, big but nice."
"Todd!" Christy yelled from the front room, "The taxi is here."
Todd looked at me, "Well, I have to see my mom. Happy Birthday, and have a safe flight."
"It was good to see you and thanks. You too!" I hugged him once last time. Todd walked into the front room, he kissed Christy and wheeled out his suitcase.
"You look really happy." I said to her as she walked into the kitchen, I followed her.
"I am. Todd is a really sweet guy. Alex likes him, so I wouldn't mind if-" She stopped. I sat on the granite counter top, "He proposed?"
She smiled as she washed her hands, "I think he will. Once he's ready."
"Are you?" I asked as she dried her hands. "I like to think so. These things take time. I just don't want to rush things."
"Understandable." "Speaking of rushing things, have you talked to him?"
I shook my head, "No. Not since he showed up at Liam's. Like, I don't know. Part of me wants to hear from him while the other part wants nothing to do with him."
"Maybe you should call him." Christy pulled out carrots and celery from the fridge.
"I don't know. I think that will complicate everything."
"Everything is already complicated. Just call him. There's no harm in calling if you know what your intentions are." She paused and looked at me, "Do you?"
"I like Liam. A lot. But I miss what I had with Niall."
"A secret relationship?"
"No, like" I groaned, "I could see myself growing old with him. With Liam everything is all in the moment and passion kind of thing. If that makes sense."
Christy began cutting vegetable on the island, "Kind of. Maybe after you call Niall to see how he is doing. You should give a call to Liam and ask him what he wants."
"Would that be wrong to do?"
She shook her head, "Call them."
A/n: So yeah. Shitty chapter I know. I haven't had a lot of time to write. I am trying to do a research paper and presentation and also study for finals that are coming up! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the FILLER chapter a little bit.
