Undoing Love

Up

Stacey's Pov

I wake to hushed whispers in the background and while am trying to open my eyes, am also trying to decipher what am hearing and cringe at what they discussing. It just had to be Freya and my brother, I don't know how others feel, but I definitely do not want to know what he likes in bed or how rough he likest it, gross. My eyes refused to open and I try again and when they slit open I speak to them before they start acting their cringe worthy performance again, 'I mentally shuddered as I remembered their office tryst. I hope you both are not planning to act all that out in my ward?' I hear them jump up and Freya rushing over to ask me if I was okay to which I replied I would be if there was no repeat performance of your office tryst right here. She blushed real bad, but my brother just had to open his big mouth, well she's up and definitely okay. She's already trying to give us a tongue lashing that's how I know she is okay. Not one to go down without a fight I replied well it beats seeing your pale butt making the swing dance. He was about to reply when Freya cut us off, ' alright enough! both of you better watch what you say next or else you get a time out' Stacey and Reece both looked at each other and smirked, then replied yes ma'am. She looked at both of them pointing you! you!! She then huffed and left saying she was going to get the doctor. As soon as she left we burst out laughing but mine was quickly cut short due to pain on my shoulder, I reached out to touch it feeling bandages on it when I asked Reece what happened? He then explained to me how I fainted after stating I wanted to check on the kids and then they found a big piece of glass protruding from my shoulder and then the surgery and I have been out for two days, I asked after the kids and my brother hesitated before answering already sending my alarm signals up, he said they are with Alfonzo's mum. I nearly shot off the bed until his hands stopped me.

Reece really? If anything happens to my children or Alfonzo kidnaps them, I will kill you first before finding them.

whoaaaaa! please don't shoot the messenger but Diana refused any other person taking them as she stated she had more parenting experience than us all and since mum was not around, she's the next best thing. I didn't have a choice than to let her take them but I have been checking on them daily, they also have security tailing their movements and they have been coming to check on you daily. The children are supposed to start school tomorrow as they have been out these past two days.

Alfonzo's Pov

I have been in the study at my parent's house watching the interrogation video, over and over again yet I still am not getting what I wanted. The name Liane Rosae sounds familiar but for the life of me I cannot remember where I heard it from, I know I have heard it before but just cannot pick up the who and where it came up. I will keep searching but my fear is that Stacey's brother is right it indeed had something to do with me and it had me sweating buckets because thinking of how close they all came to death without me getting to know my children or being with Stacey that was just too hard a thought to bear. My children and their mother almost died because of me now how do I solve this mess? Who would really want to make an enemy of me, I have reminisced all of the likely people and come up short. I had to go back to Nikos, he had his people snooping around town, the streets and even in the police precinct. I needed to know what was going on like yesterday, my life has never had this much questions without answers until now but would I trade it for the mundane life of routine hook ups, no way. I find myself smiling when I remember the faces on my children, a small frame of their faces is even on the table in the study. My mom wasted no time in having them made, their pictures where all over the house now and let's not forget the batman wallpaper in their bedroom. The woman does things so fast that it is scary but then again that's my mum, when she sets her mind to something she does it immediately. I was still sitting pondering what was going on when my dad knocked and stepped into the office with a solemn look on his face and I knew that something was up. He sat across from me on the table and said ' son we have something to discuss and it is quite serious and I would like to apologize beforehand because even if I may have been ignorant and had no bad intentions, some of these things we are going to discuss could have been avoided if I had just done things differently and better. That is my major regret and for that I am really and truly sorry, before we have this discussion I am also waiting for someone who you should have met for a long time ago but because of circumstances and things that happened it couldn't happen until now.

Now I am stumped what could he possibly have to apologize for and who were we waiting for? Not long after another knock came and my mom stepped in with red rimmed eyes which had me standing up and about to rush to her but my dad was already there patting her back and kept saying, I am really sorry, I never had any intention of hurting you and I never knew about all of this until I told you. I would never go behind you and do such a thing, never! While they were still talking and my mom trying to get a hold of herself someone cleared their throat which made me look up and nearly stumble on seeing the resemblance. While he had a stockier build, had some scars and looked a bit rugged he definitely looked like dad and me but he had mum's eyes. I am officially confused now because how is this possible? I looked to my parents and said is this what you were talking about? I mean how is this possible? He replied son, meet Carlson Gomez, he's your brother and we just found out about him. We are still unraveling the f****d up situation of how we missed out on knowing about him and what happened to him but first he has some things that he would like to say to you and you would definitely need that sit, so please sit. Before I could fully settle into my seat, my phone rang and it was Reece, as much as I would like to hear what my dad and now my brother had to say, I would rather hear from him first as I know it had to do with Stacey's upkeep or the children. Hey Reece, what's going on? Stacey's awake and wants to see the children. Oh ok, I would tell my mom she would get them ready and we bring them to the hospital to see her, how's she? Is she getting discharged yet? No, not yet but the doctor says she might be allowed to go home tomorrow. Just get them ready and bring them over, we would be waiting. I hung up and turned to my mom when she asked, is she up yet? How's she doing? Does she need anything? She's up and asking for the children, ok lemme just get them ready, they should be up from their nap. She stood up and gripped Carlson on the shoulders with a misty look in her eyes and stepped out to attend to my children. Still can't get over that fact, "my children". My dad then said, son Carlson is your brother and our son due to tenuous circumstances we are only just learning about him now. I never told you because it was a sore subject for us and especially your mother as it took her a long time before she could get over it and I didn't want to remind her about it not sure if she could answer it. We had Carlson before your sister and he was declared still born, but now we are only just learning that some obsessed b***h who had it out for me paid the doctors and they lied to us, switching him with another dead baby and we never knew until now.
