Chapter eightI lay on my bed and put on a movie for me to watch on my laptop. In the middle of the night, I jumped awake when I heard a gunshot. When I looked it was my laptop that was still on so I turned it off and went back to sleep. The next morning sound 1 am my phone ringed waking me up"Hello?" I answered groggily"Hey I'm sorry to wake you up but Emily has been screaming all night and doesn't want anyone near her, can you come over?" I heard a familiar voice said"Alex?" I asked"Yes?"

I quickly headed to the door and stop when I felt someone behind me"Where are you going?" Ricky asked"What are you doing here?" I asked"Staying here for a few nights," He said"Okay fine I have to go Emily has been screaming all night and Alex's said she needs me," I said and opened the door"It's a bootie c

Chapter tenWhen I went down Richard was coming in"Hey," I said"Hello. Just coming to check in how are the kids?" He asked"Emily is asleep I just put her down and the boys are in the living room," I said"How are you?" He asked as we walked to the living room"I'm fine," I said"Hey," he said and made me turn to him, "It's okay to be afraid after what that guy did to you. You're a strong girl and a fighter,""Thanks but honestly I just want to forget him. I'm moving on starting fresh," I said making him give me a small smile"Well, I'm here if you want to talk," he said"Thanks," I said and side hugged him before walking into the living room and right into a trapI was soaked.

Chapter elevenI was unpacking my last bag when I heard Emily crying. I dropped the photo frame in my hand on the bed and went to her room. I took her into my arms and started bouncing her up and down. I calmed her down before I sat on the rocking chair and laid her down on my chest rocking her asleep.When she was asleep I carefully put her back in the crib and left quietly. I was on my way to my room when I heard Alex talking in his room"I need that background check, Jack," I heard him"No, it's not that I do trust her it's just that I feel like something is off with her... No, she's fantastic with the kids... Jack, get mom off the phone so we can talk," I heard him sayI decided to just go to my room and unpack the rest of my stuff. When I was done I lay on the bed and fell asleep.I woke up around 5 am and went downstairs with my Pj's still on. I had one of my brothers' oversized t-shirts on with shorts. I went into the kitchen and poured myself a cup of coffee but almost pour it
Chapter TwelveWe sat down and ordered some coffee for ourselves. Once the waiter left Claudia looked at me playing with Emily"You're good with her," Claudia said"I had cousins that were younger than her that I had to watch. I also had to work for this one guy who lost his wife while she gave birth so I had to look after the baby that was only 2 days old," I said"That's rough losing one's mother," she said"Yeah, it is," I said and looked down at Emily before asking, "Where are Emily and the twin's mother?""She left. After Emily was born she had a mental breakdown and Alex got her into a mental institute but the third day there she broke out and we never heard of her again," Claudia said"How long?" I asked"Emily is only three months old so two and a half months ago. The twins only act out and go far with their pranks because they miss her," she said"And you guys?" I asked"You mean Alex?" She asked with a smile and I shook my head"He was never in love with her but yeah we miss
Chapter thirteenAlex (POV)When she kissed me I kissed her back until I realized what I was doing. I left her alone in her room and went to my officeAs I entered my father was sitting on the couch."So what happened?" He asked"Nothing," I said sitting down"Alex," he said"It's nothing!" I said louder than I meant to"You like her don't you?" He asked"No, I can't Allison..." I said but he cut me off and said, "Left you about three months ago. You have to move on son,""I can't she's the mother of my kids!" I yelled"And look where you are now. You are raising them alone with the help of Olivia where is she?" Mom asked"Just don't," I said slamming my hand down on the table.I saw Mom flinch and I got even angrier. I went to my office window and heard Dad sigh before hearing him say, "This is up to you son but Olivia is a good girl,"They left and I slide down the wall and sit on the ground and watched the trees outside.

I yelled"Was it planned that she's here working for you?" Noah askedI got angry and Leo and Jack saw it and Jack said, "I doubt it. Olivia wouldn't do this.
