The Strong One

Episode 17

Alex’s POV

Today has been a birthday to forget, I never thought that my 18th birth would have went like this, luckily my  baby girl is better and now allowed to go home but has to have a lot of rest.

Mum, dad and Lee are all still here even though I told them to go home ages ago, they refused to leave mine and my babies side which I cannot be anymore thankful, Olly wanted to stay too but mum forced him to go home as him and Ella where tired and jet lagged.

Right now we are walking out of the warehouse, dad and Lee both holding one of the still fast asleep twins and mum and I walking behind them, mum with her arm around me.

Once we got to the car dad and Lee put the babies on their car seats and buckled them in after that we all parted ways saying goodbye for a bit but we would go to the villa.

I sat in the car for a minute taking deep breaths making sure I’m calm from all the events today before starting to drive.

I didn’t think I would see Diego so soon, I don’t know how or if I should tell him about the twins, even though they were a product of our actions i don’t want to be tying him down like that it’s unfair to him, he’s only 19 has his whole life ahead of him, I don’t know if he wants kids, and even though it took both of us to make them I cannot make him be there as it was my choice to keep them, I wanted to raise them, that doesn’t mean he wants to, I’m not going to force him to be there, he shouldn’t even feel guilty if he doesn’t want to.

When I arrived I parked my car in front of the main house, I dried the tears that I hadn’t even realised fallen, I then went to the back, unbuckled my babies.

“Baby girl you don’t know how happy I am that you are ok.” I said to Charlotte and gave her a little kiss.

I picked up both of the babies and went inside the house not bothering to even lock the car.

As soon I stepped foot inside the house the smell of food made my mouth water.

“Love how is my little great granddaughter?” Nan asked coming up to me.

“She has been better.” I said.

“Happy birthday love.” Nan said and I gave her a sad smile.

“Go put the babies on the crib.” Grandpa said seeing that they were both still asleep, when I moved into my own place I left the other crib I bought here and my parents brought it down stairs into the living room for handiness.

I settled both my babies in the crib making sure they were comfortable and putting a thin little blanket on them since it’s still warm, I gave the both a kiss and told them how much I loved them.

“We should maybe talk now.” I heard Olly say.

“Yes.” I said making my way to the sofa to sit down.

“Where should I start?” I ask myself thinking back.

“How about from the start.” Olly said sarcastically making me roll my eyes and him laugh lightly not wanting to wake up the babies.

I told Olly the whole story which took a while but when I was done it felt very good because I hated not telling him.

“I’m going to kill that kid.” Olly said simply.

“Oliver.” I said seriously.

“Chill I’ll maybe just punch him if it makes you feel better.” He said. “I still can’t believe my little niece has babies, not even just ones baby but two.”

“I wouldn’t trade them for the world, I really love them.” I said looking back to the crib.

We were startled by a knock on the door.

“It must be Lee, Tyler and Sofia wouldn’t knock it’s their house.” Olly said.

“No, Lee is coming with mum and dad.” I said to him making him confused.

“No one is else is allowed in without the guards come to tell and ask first.” Olly said looking back at me.

“Diego could.” I said not knowing how to feel.

“Are you going to talk to him or should I send him away?” Olly asked standing up.

I took several deep breaths and reluctantly said,

“Let him in.”

Olly walked out of the living room and I heard the front door open, “she’s in the living room.” I heard him say and heard footsteps coming closer, the footsteps stopped and for about a minute there was no other noise.

“I know you are standing there just come in.” I said blocking any sort of emotion from my voice.

Diego walked in after that i took a second to look at him, if possible he’s taller, he has gotten even more muscular and it’s obvious though his T-shirt, his hair is the same near blond colour but now slightly longer and some bits falling near his eyes, when I looked into his eyes they didn’t look their shiny self, they were dull and red and his skin looked like he’d seen a ghost.

“Why are you here?” I asked as it didn’t seem like he would start the conversation.
