Chapter-16 Reconnecting

Alexa POV:

"Hey Kitty Kat" my brothers voice rang out on the the other line all I can do is sit with my mouth hung open at the realization that he has called me after almost four years. That's right it has been almost four years since I have spoken to my brother and Cass so I am curious as to why he was calling me, but he's my brother so I decided to hear him out when I look up Colton is looking at me with a look of concern when I mouth out that it's Robbie he nods with understanding and leaves me to go and get the twins dressed. I'm brought back to reality when Robbie asked me was I still on the line all I can say is I'm here. And he apologized for him and Cass lying to me and hurting me and goes on to tell me that Cassie would like for me to be her maid of honor for the wedding. I tell him I will think about it and end the call.

Colton POV:

As I'm getting the twins from the bath in walks my queen and she seems to be a little taken aback by her and Robbies' conversation but I decide not to dwell on it and just hug her instead. Once the twins are dressed an ready we leave them to their toys and head out of their room to the living room where she begins to tell me what the call from Robbie was all about. She tells me how Cass wants her to be maid of honor, and truthfully I think it would be good for her to reconnect with her best friend after so many years, so I suggest she give Cassie a call and got to lunch and after some thought she agrees.

Alexa POV:

I look up Cassies' number and hit the call button after about 5 rings she pick up with a scepticle voice and said Lexie is that you? After a few minutes I answer with a yes and can't help the tears that are stinging my eyes. Thruthfully I really miss my brother and friend so much it hurts sometimes Jace has a smile that sometimes reminds me of my brother and I can't help but be hurt at those I feel in that moment. I come out of my thoughts when I hear Cass say are you still there Lexie? Yes I'm here I say. Can we meet for lunch at our usual place and talk? After a few moments she said yes what time? I'll be there in an hour and just like that we end the call. Colton has work so I get the twins and myself ready and I'm out the door. Once at the diner I find a seat because she hasn't arrived as of yet, once I'm seated not long after she walks in looking around and when she spots me I can see the longing in her eyes and the sigh that escapes her mouth is unmistakable. She comes over and sits across from me then her eyes notices the double stroller and I can see the tears in her eyes and I already know what she wants to ask, so I remove the visors of the stroller so she can get a good look at Jace and Jacey. Come to think of it she doesn't even know their names. I brought out of my reverie when she asks how old they were and I tell her 3 and a half now and she nods in affirmative. "So how's motherhood been going"? And just with that question we began to catch up on all the years we've missed in each other's lives. I tell her how I'm a wife now and how I'm pregnant again and she seems to be genuinely happy for me I accept her offer to be maid of honor and we hug for what felt like forever and say our goodbyes with the promise to talk soon.
