ChristianIt's been 30 minutes since we started looking for Molly but still, there's no sign of her. Mom and Dad have taken the kids into town to the main hall where the whole town will end up today to discuss plans for those that have been affected by the storm, ourselves included. My brothers and I stayed behind to look for Molly and start the clean-up. Zack and Callum headed towards the barns to check those and the top field area just in case we had missed her coming back while Jack, Tom, and I search the trees that Brody saw Molly go in. The tree area that she walked into is more of a mini forest so it could take a while to find her, that is as long as she is still in there and hasn't used it as a shortcut to get away from the farm."Why would she just leave without saying anything?" Jack asks. I've asked myself the same question a hundred times already and there's only one answer that I can come up with. "I think it's because of me." Jack looks at me with confusion but Tom doesn
MollyMy walk to town was hard, not so much physically although it was made a lot harder by the day that I've had but more than anything it was mentally hard. I walked past so many places where homes once stood but now all that was left was rubble and mess.My mind was fogged the entire walk as I thought about everything that had happened over the last two years and tried to figure out where I go from here. While on my way here I walked past people who were living their own hells whether it be heartbreak at losing their home, car, personal and precious items or even god forbid their family or friends. Their troubles are so much worse than mine right now and for that, I feel like I'm acting like a shitty human. I'm here feeling sorry for myself while others have got it so much worse but still, I can't help how I feel. Everyone has struggles no matter how big or small and no one should be judged by them. Everyone's feelings and lives matter regardless of if they are worse than someone
Molly"Where are you darlin?" I'm not sure how long I've been on the phone with Tom but it's been long enough that Mrs, Jackson has been and left a coffee on the table in front of me. He has already asked me this question more than once in that time but I've avoided it because I don't want to lie to him but I'm worried that if I tell him that he will come here and I know that it won't take much for him to convince me to go home with him. I've always struggled to say no to Tom. He's my best friend and has me wrapped around his little finger but more than that I know that he will never steer me wrong in life which is why I struggle so much with refusing him pretty much anything that he wants in life. "I'm safe." It's a shit answer but it's all that I've got right now. I've run out of things to ask him to distract him. I've already asked how everyone is doing including the kids, animals, and Sandy the dog. "While I'm glad to hear that, that's not an answer Molly Dolly." I smile at his
ChristianI'm pissed, so fucking pissed but I'm pissed at myself more than anything else. I'm confused about what I'm thinking and feeling and it's annoying the hell out of me. When I found out that Molly couldn't be found on the farm I instantly panicked. The girl has almost died twice today and I just wanted her where I could see her, even if I couldn't explain the reason why. The relief I felt after speaking to her and knowing that she was ok was quickly replaced with another wave of anger when she point-blank refused to tell any of us including Tom where she is. Does she think she can just leave like this? And more importantly, why the fuck do I care about it so much? I've wanted her gone since the first moment I laid eyes on her and now that she's gone I should be jumping for joy but all I feel is anger while something else simmers in the pit of my stomach that I don't want to figure out right now. Tom storms away from the trees and heads back towards the remains of our house.
Christian"What's happened?" I shout the words as I run for my Dad's track and jump in next to him while my brothers all jump on the truck bed. My Dad doesn't mess around and makes quick work of getting off the farm and onto the main road. He's always such a good guy when it comes to the rules and speed limits on the roads but not right now, right now he's a terrified Granddad who's breaking all the rules and I couldn't be more happier about it. "There's not much going on at the town hall, not until the Mayor turns up anyway so your Mom suggested I come and help you guys out here. Before I left some of the other guys and I made a little nap room just as we did the last time we had a Tornado and just before I left we put Katie and Sophie down for a nap while Brody placed with some of his friends from kindergarten. Anyway, while I was talking to your brothers your Mom called me. She said that she went to check on the girls and they were both gone... only those two though." "Amy!" Call
Molly My conversation with Tom is quick and to the point. It doesn't matter what has happened today or what my feelings are he's at the town hall and he needs me so that's where I need to be. My heart is pounding as I race out of Penny's shop and head for the town hall, the only problem is that I've only walked past the town hall once when Tom and I came shopping, and I'm struggling to remember where it is. My lack of concentration aint helping right now either. SOPHIE AND KATIE ARE MISSING! How? Why? And worst of all they think that they have been taken by someone. Just thinking of those poor girls away from their Dad and family brings tears to my eyes. They must be so scared! I run with all I have in what I think Is the right direction but my heart falls when I end up down a side road that leads away from the town, shit! If I'm right the town hall is in the complete opposite direction from here. I've just wasted almost 10 minutes for nothing. I've also got a stupid stitch fro
Molly"One million dollars? Is she fucking serious? Please, for the love of god, tell me that your joking?" Jack's first to voice his opinion on the situation and I'm pretty sure that he's just saying exactly what we're all thinking. I know it's what I'm thinking along with the fact that all I want to do right now is to find Amy and end her."Do you think I would fucking joke about something like this?" Christian is pissed and rightly so. Fuck this Amy is something else. What the hell did he see in her to even date her never mind marry her and have children with her?"Of course, not. I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that... I just... fuck!" Jack runs his hand through his hair while giving Christian a sad look. "I'm sorry brother, I know you didn't mean that. Fuck I just don't know what I'm going to do. There's no way I can get the $50,000 today never mind £1 million. Most of my money is tied up in the bar and house." He looks so lost and despite how I've been feeling about Christian, I
Christian"That was Tom, the bank doesn't have that much cash available which I suspected but they are having it brought in within the hour. And he's already ordered the rest of the money, it'll be here in two days." Jack looks pretty shocked at my words. "Jesus I bet that cost a fair bit to have it brought in that quick!" I nod agreeing."I still can't believe he is a millionaire." Callum takes a seat next to Zack in one of the plastic chairs that are lined against the wall. "I don't think any of us can. Why didn't he tell any of us?" Zack grunts as he fidgets in his chair while trying to get more comfortable."I don't know brother, but we're gonna find out!" I don't understand it myself. Since when did he have all this money? I've got several friends in the army and while they make decent money it's nowhere near what Tom is claiming to have plus if he's willing to give away one million does that means that's all he has or is there more that we don't know about?As much as I want to
Christian Just a few minutes later we arrived at the house and my brothers helped bring in the babies and the bags then put both of my boys in their bassinet that's been set up in the living room while I got Molly comfy on the sofa then they joined us for a cup of coffee and we chatted as I kept watching the time and wishing it to hurry up so that all of our children can be here together. Our future as a family looks amazing and I already know that we are going to make the best memories. Our children will grow up knowing that they are loved and cared for and will never be in need of anything ever again. It still shocks me to think about where I was a year ago and where I am now but I wouldn't change a thing... well, if I could change something it would be Molly's last name, she would be my wife until our last breath and maybe we'd even have another baby or two but even if that time doesn't come I'm still going to enjoy every single moment of my life with my little family and foreve
Molly"They are so beautiful, Molly dolly." Tom cooes over the little bundle in his arms as he walks around my bed and takes a seat next to me. "I agree, little heartbreakers in the making here," Jack says as he stands over by the window with my other son in his arms. "You were so incredible, baby," Chris whispers in my ear as he sits on my other side and gently plays with my hair. I've always found it soothing and Chris knows this."Who do I have?" Tom asks not once taking his eyes off his nephew. "This is Jacob and Jack has Jonah." Jack walks over to us while rocking Jonah in his arms smiling so hard that his face has to be hurting but he doesn't seem to care. "Cute names." Both Chris and I nod agreeing. I love the names even if I didn't pick them. A little while ago I discovered that Chris has never got a say in what any of the other children were called. Of course, he loves all of their names but still, his opinion wasn't even considered so I told him that he could pick both the t
Christian“So what do you want, Amy?”“We’ll mostly I want to apologise to you and your family for everything I have done but first I want to ask you something. Is… is that any chance of trying again, Chris? I miss my family and I want you all back.” That I was not expecting and for a moment it threw me, which of course she takes as me considering it.“We can start again, Chris. You me and the kids. We can move house if you want. I’m better now and clean and I have no plans of going back to who I was.”“Amy, that’s not going to happen.”“But I thought… won’t you even consider it?” Fuck why does she have to do this? Even after everything that she has done to everyone I still don't want to have to hurt her in any way. Am I stupid for thinking that way? properly but it is what it is. She was once my wife regardless of what she has done. "No, Amy. I'm sorry but I don't need to consider it because it isn't happening."But why, Chris? We were great together once.""We were Amy and when we f
Molly "Amy?" She gives me a nod and a smile that seems genuine which is worrying in itself. "What are you doing here, Amy?" Ruby comes to stand next to me looking seriously pissed and I don't blame her, Amy has tried to destroy her life in more ways than one. I'll give it to the girl, she has some serious balls to come back here after everything that she has done. "I know I shouldn't be here but there is some stuff that I need to say to all of you and I really hope that you will allow me to, even if I don't deserve it." She looks like she's being genuine but I really don't trust her. “Why should I let you anywhere near my family?” Ruby moves so that she's pretty much standing in front of me and covering my body with hers. Which brings her attention to my stomach. “You're pregnant!” If this was anyone else the look of shock on her face would have me laughing but as it is I just want to hide my baby bump from her. I nod but don't say anything. For a moment a sad look covers her
Christian"It feels like it's been forever since we've had a chat just you and me. How's things going at the bar darlin'?" My mom sets a cup of coffee down in front of me on the kitchen table and then sits next to me with her own. Brody is at school while both Sophie and Katie are taking a nap and everyone else is either on the farm or at the pub. "I know, Ma. The bar is going great but things have been crazy busy these past few weeks, especially with getting ready for the twins."She nods her head excitement pouring out of her, She's not been shy in showing how excited she is for the twin's arrival but then again she's always been the same with all of my children. "I know things are crazy but it will be worth it. Two more little babies, two more grandbabies for me to love. Oww, I can't wait!" Her words make me smile and laugh. "I know, it's going to be manic but so much fun.""Oh yes, I knew the twin gene would go to one of you, maybe it will go to more than one of you, can you imagi
MollyIt's been two months since I told Christian about the baby and it's honestly been the best two weeks of my life. When I told him part of me knew that everything would be okay, he has said on several occasions that if it happened that we would be okay but still, there was a part of me that worried that he had changed his mind and that he wouldn't want this. Of course, I was wrong and I kind of feel a little guilty for having any doubt in him.The day after I told him we told the rest of his family. We did tell Tom first on his own as he's my best friend and I felt that it was the right thing to do and thankfully Chris I was more than happy about it. As you can imagine his family was so insanely excited at the news of another baby coming into the family and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't cry for about an hour at the pure love that is in this family.I never knew the love of a family growing up. My birth mother put me into the foster care system when I was two years old becau
Christian"I'm sorry say that again?" Molly looks a little nervous but still, I can see the ghost of a smile on her beautiful face. "I said I'm pregnant, Chris. I'm sorry about the blunt delivery but I didn't know how to tell you and I want you to know so that you can be sure that me moving in with you is really what you want." Is this girl serious?Aside from making this girl my wife, I couldn't think of anything more I could want. Fuck I don't know what scares me more right now, the fact that I'm thinking about marrying her so soon or that the idea of marrying her so soon doesn't scare me. After the shit show that was my marriage to Amy, I never thought that I would want to be married again."Chris?" The small tremor in her voice brings me back to the present and her sad face. Shit, I was so lost in my own thoughts that I've got her worried when she doesn't need to be. I place a kiss on top of her hair and watch as a shiver runs down her body only it is more a shiver from her being
Molly"Chris, what are you doing?" I giggle as he leaves the farmhouse and starts heading towards his house with me hanging over his shoulder. "I already told you." I yelp then laugh even harder when he slaps my ass and picks up his pace. The embarrassment that I felt when he picked me up in front of his brothers has quickly turned to lust and now I'm more than eager to get to his place. "Yes, but I could get there just as quick on my feet you know?" He smacks my ass once again before gently rubbing it. "That may be true but I much prefer you over my shoulder." I must admit being over his shoulder isn't the worst thing in the world, not when his fine ass is in my direct view.Whistling and hooting have my head shooting up and my face going bright red when I see Hunter and some other guy standing in one of the pig pens looking our way. Well, that's my embarrassment back. What the hell are they even doing out here so late? Of course, Christian has no shame at all and instead of ignoring
ChristianOnce I know they are happy, distracted, and being taken care of I throw on my boots and head out of the house and across the field to the farmhouse and my girl. I walk in and instantly spot her sitting at the kitchen table next to Tom. I walk over to them and rest my hands on her shoulders before placing a kiss on the top of her head. "How's the shopping going?" She tilts her head up to look at me and rolls her eyes making me smile. "Great! I have everything that I wanted." Tom says sounding very proud of himself. "And how about you darling, you bought yourself anything?" "No, she hasn't despite my pleas." Tom groans dramatically. "I don't need anything sweet cheeks, not right now anyway." He gives her a look as if she has offended him making me laugh. "You do not have to need new clothes to shop my girl, have I not taught you anything in our long and lively friendship?" She laughs at his dramatics while sipping on her coffee. "One outfit and that's it I mean it!" She s
