The Strong One

Episode 15

I walked out of the room to find my mother, father and Lee trying to calm down Charlie who was screaming so loud it could hurt your ears, I made my way to him picking him and and kid kissing his forehead calming him down to little sobs. 

I was about to go back into the room to take my baby boy to his sister when I heard my name being called my two very families voices.

I walked into the room as quick as possible and set my baby boy who had fallen asleep with the tiredness next to his sleeping sister and walked out making sure to close the door shut.

As soon as I stepped out I was squished into a hug by a person I could recognise as my uncle Olly.

“Hey Olly.” I said quietly, “what are you doing here?” I asked.

“I wouldn’t miss my nieces 18th birthday what type of uncle would I be.” He said in a duh voice.

“Oh Alex meet Ella, since you haven’t seen her in person yet.” He said stepping back to show little Ella who I talked to an FaceTime multiple times but never seen in person.

I looked down at little Ella, her beautiful blond hair falling over her face, she is about 6 or 7 and is adorable.

“Hey Ella.” I said.

“Ella what do you say.” Olly said from beside her.

“Happy birthday auntie Alex.” She said shyly.

“You are so cute.” I said giving her a little hug and then turning to Olly who now looked serious.

“Alex you have a few things to explain but first there’s someone who wants to talk to you.” He said and I nodded not looking into his eyes.

“Sofia, Tyler, Lee we should should go for a bit.” Olly said picking up Ella and walking away with my parents and Lee behind him leaving reluctantly.

I had my head down but soon lifted it up for my eyes to meet a pair of eyes who have haunted my dreams for months and months on row, the same eyes that look up at me in my babies faces.

“I waited for you.” He said.

“I sat day and night waiting for you to call for weeks.” He continued.

“But I was just being a f*****g i***t wasn’t I.” 

“While I was thinking of you day and night you were out f*****g some one else.” Diego said now raising his voice.

“And you know the best thing, you got f*****g pregnant with some bastards child.” 

“How long did you wait for me to leave before you got pregnant with that bastard child.” He said.

I put up with everything he said until he insulted my children, I was letting him let it all out because he most have been annoyed but offending my children will not be done especially by their father, he might not know their his but I do.

I went up and slapped him in the face which such force it made an echo through the corridor and my hand printed on to his face.

“You can say whatever the f**k you want about me but bring my children up and I will f*****g kill you understand.” I said and then turned my back and walked into the room as right now I don’t have time for this, my daughter needs me.

As I closed the door tears started making their way out of my eyes and down my cheeks, I went over to my babies cuddled up together, so many times I about the day he would find out about the twins but my ideal idea wasn’t for it to be while my baby is lying on a hospital bed.

I saw the door slightly open and I was about to go off at whoever it was when I realised it was my mum.

“Did you know?” I asked.

“No Alex I didn’t, non of us did, Olly wanted to be here for your birthday and so he said he would come with Ella and we were going to surprise you a home but we didn’t know Diego was coming or else we would have warmed you.” Mum said coming up beside me and brushed her fingers through my hair.

“How is she?” Mum asked.

“She’s stabled, should wake up in a few hours, I was so worried about her, it breaks my heart, shatters it to pieces seeing her lying here so helpless.” I said and a lone tear fell down my cheek.

“Charlie was unrecognisable earlier, non of us expected him to get upset to that point.” Mum said reminding me about the earlier situation.

“Yes, his sister is took from him and then his mum isn’t there by his side so it was bound to happen, thank you for helping look after him for a while though, I had to make sure Charlotte was ok before bringing him in, I wouldn’t want him to be here if she was in a bad state.” I said stoking their hairs.”

“Is he away?” I asked mum.

“Yeah he is, got on his bike and left, probably went to his dads house.” Mum said.

“Did you tell him?” Mum asked me.

“Not yet, he was mad and said somethings, technically what he said was directed at Charlie and he saw me holding him, he doesn’t know about Charlotte.” I told mum.

“Everything will work out.” Mum said coming to hug me.
