Chapter 57 - 56

I need my kids or I will lose my mind.

I dialed Chase's number and anxiously waited for him to answer, "hey," he stated and i felt relief flood over me.

"Hi, I'm on my way back. Can you and the twins meet me at the door?"

"Is everything okay?"

I laughed lightly, "everything's fine! I am just feeling hormonal from the pregnancy. I just want to see you guys as soon as I can. I will be there in about 5 minutes."

"Okay, see you then."

I hung up and noticed Jayden was still following me but it didn't matter anymore. If he wants to see me greet my kids, then let him come.

The five minutes seemed much longer than they should take as I anxiously waited to see them. When I finally got to the house, I nearly began crying as I saw the twins at the door beginning to jump and wave towards me. I rushed to park the car as I noticed Jayden parked near the gate.

As I opened the door, my ears were flooded with the twins calling for me. I felt relief as I looked to them and saw their happy faces. They ran over towards me as I did the same toward them. We met in the middle and I immediately kneeled on the ground. When I felt them come into my arms, my heart fluttered with joy. They hugged me as I squeezed them into me. I laid my head between theirs that rested on either of my shoulders.

"Momma!" They both whispered repeatedly as they nuzzled against me and I felt pure bliss. I turned my head either way so that I could kiss each of them on the head.

They finally released me somewhat but froze as they saw my tears. They both began wiping either side of my face as I smiled towards them, "I missed you two so much!" I whispered as they looked to me with happiness. I fought my tears to stop before smiling towards them more. "Well let's get inside. It's almost time for bed."

I stood and took either of the hands in mine before walking over to the front door. Chase smiled sweetly to me as I came over to him. I kissed his cheek before the four of us went inside.

When we went in, the four of us played board games chosen by the twins until it was their bed time. I put them into their bed room even though I knew they would join me in bed by the morning. I watched a show with Chase until he finally went to sleep. I then made my way to my room.

I went to my room and texted Elijah, asking him to come over to talk. I showered and removed all traces of Jayden from my body to try to feel less disgusting. Being covered and filled with him was more than I could stand once I was alone.

I quickly got dressed and came into the living room to see Elijah quietly seated on the couch with a glass of whiskey. Good, maybe if he's a little buzzed this will go over better. He smiled at me kindly before patting the spot beside him on the couch. I sat beside him and felt anxious.

"Thanks for coming over."

"Of course, I was glad to get your text. So what's going on?"

I sighed and looked to my ŀȧp. "I want to be honest with you. I don't think lying anymore will help this situation."

"What are you talking about?"

I looked up to him, "I lied somewhat today and I don't want to keep on lying."

"You're making me worried. What is it?"

"You know the donor for Hunter."

"Who is it?"

I looked back to my ŀȧp, "Jayden." He began to stand and I grabbed his arm. His face showed something beyond fury, "please listen to me! This is not easy for me to do or say! Please!" I begged in a whisper so my kids did not wake up.

"What in the hell are you thinking?!" He demanded as he sat.

"He is the only match to save Hunter and he can't wait for me to give birth! I met him today and we came to an agreement so that he will save Hunter."

"He wouldn't do something so easy! What does he get in return?"

"He gets to see his children and have my time." Elijah suddenly stood and stormed out of the house.

I leaned back on the couch and sighed deeply. At least I was able to accomplish my goal. He knows and he's the one that chose not to listen to the rest.

In the morning, Bridget and I worked with the kids to get them ready for school. Since it was so nice out, the kids and I decided to walk to school today. It was not that far so it was an easy way to get there and enjoy the nice weather.

We first walked Chase the school before it was finally time for me to fast up to the twins. I look to them as they held hands and walked beside me.

"Would you to be okay with meeting someone that is very important on Sunday?"

"Who Momma?" Ashley asked as they both looked up to me.

I took a deep breath and forced my body not to shake. This is best for Hunter and for them. They deserve to know who he is at the very least. I gave them a large smile, "your dad," I stated in they both stopped walking immediately.

They stared at me in shock and seem to be unable to decide what to say.

"We have a dad?"Archer asked as he looked to me and Ashley multiple times.

I nodded and foced my smile to stay. "Of course you do," I said as they both stared back at me. "He has just not lived near us until now. That is actually who I went to see last night."

I join them as they both began walking but just stared in front of them quietly.

"Why has he never come before?" Ashley asked, as I could tell she was becoming concerned.

I gave her a sweet smile, "he is wanted to meet you all this time but we lived far away and he is very busy with his job. I didn't even know we lived near him until I ran into him a few weeks ago. He is really excited to meet you guys and wants to know everything about you."

They both were silent for a few moments before Ashley looked to me with her eyes beginning to tear up.

"Do we have to meet him?" I froze at the thought but forced my body to keep walking with them. I never thought that they would refuse to meet him. I don't want to force them and I expected them to want to know their dad. I expected them to be mad at me for not finding him sooner. "You don't want to meet him?"

Ashley shook her head, "he's a stranger and we're not supposed to talk to strangers."

"He will be a stranger at first, but he is your parent just like me. All he wants to do is meet you. He even said it was okay if Chase came with us."

"Are we going to live with him?"

I looked to Archer with surprise, "do you want to live with him?"

Archer shook his head violently as tears started to well in his eyes. "I only want Momma and Chase and Ashley."

I smile towards him, "your dad does not plan to take you away from anyone. He just wants to meet you and make you happy." I looked up as I realized we were already at the school. "Well," I said as I look to both of them with confidence. "We don't need to worry about it today. We are not gonna see him until Sunday and we'll talk all about it when you get home alright?"

I jumped out when I heard my phone ringing and answered it, "hello?"

"Mr.Maurer, I got your message. You got in contact with the donor and he agreed?"

"Yes, sir. He is even willing to come in today to finalize everything so the donation can happen as soon as possible."

"Can you be here at two? I should be able to squeeze you in."

"Yes, absolutely! We will see you then!" I quickly hung up and dialed Jayden's number.

"Hey," he said in a confident voice, "did you get ahold of the doctor?"

"Can you meet me there at two?"

"I'll come pick you up. You shouldn't be stressing your body by driving. I should be there in 30 minutes"

I sighed with annoyance, "fine." I hung up and got dressed. I slipped on shoes before walking out to the main gate of the home. I began writing on my notes in my phone, trying to rack my brain on what to tell Asher.. I looked up when I heard a car coming closer.
