Planned Baby

Chapter 65 AMELIA

“Come back home. The kids are waiting for you.”

I was stunned for a moment. We often believe that everything happens for a reason. But I can't seem to figure out why all these things happened. Why did God let me fall for someone responsible for my parents’ death? Why did God let me have children with him?

I even let myself believe that Ulie was the one for me.

“Are you okay?”

I did not notice Luna’s presence. I was so consumed by my emotion.

“I would be lying if I told you that I am okay because it’s so obvious that I am not,” I told Luna

‘I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked that. That was insensitive of me.” Luna said looking apologetic.

I shook my head. “That's nothing. I know you mean well.

“So what's your decision? Are you going back to your penthouse?” Luna asked

I nodded. “If Ulie will leave the penthouse then I need to go back home. No one will take care of the twins in our home. Also, I already miss them and I know they miss me too.”

One thing I’m grateful about is my twins’ way of thinking. They are so mature for their age. They can easily understand the situation and were able to adjust. Just like now.

I hope that when they found out that Ulie and I are over, they will also understand and respect our decision.

After a few hours, I received a text message from Ulie.

From Ulie:

I already packed my things and left the penthouse. You can go back now. I told the twins that you will pick them up at school today. I took a half-day leave from work. I went to my parents’ mausoleum to get some of my things and to say goodbye to my parents. After I'm done packing my few clothes I visited my parents’ tomb to properly say goodbye.

“Mom, dad I need to go back home now. Ulie already left my house. The twins need me now. I’m sorry again for all of this. I can’t help but blame myself. If only I did not fall for that guy or I never met him, you will still be here with me.”

“Mom, dad help me to get through this. Help me to move forward with my life. And help me to explain all these things to the twins. I hope and pray that they will understand the situation.”

“I hope that they can forgive me because I will not be able to do what they want. I will not marry their dad and carry his name. I will never accept the fact that I will carry the name of your murderer.”

“Mom, dad, goodbye! I'll see you soon.”

I looked at my watch. I am just in time to pick up my kids. I saw students coming out of the school gate.

I waved at Amelia and Alistair when I saw them at the school gate.

“Mommy!” They both shouted.

When I reached them, I spread my two hands to ask for a hug. The two of them were very willing to give me my request. “We miss you so much, mommy!” Amelia said while they are hugging me.

“I miss you both so much too!” I said then I broke the hug and kisses them.

I didn't realize how much I miss them. I was so consumed by my emotion. I will really make it up to them.

“What do you want to eat?” I asked them

Their eyes twinkled.

“Donuts!” Says Amelia.

“Ice cream!” Says Alistair.

“Okay! Then let’s go?”

We ate lunch first before I ordered what they requested a while ago.

I was happy looking at my kids happily eating. I was just a bit worried about how I will explain to them about their father. I wanted to prolong my confrontation with the kids that is why I ask them to go shopping with me. I bought all the toys that they want. I know bribing is not a good way of dealing with kids. I was really scared of how they will react and if they will choose to stay with me. ‘I'm sure dad will be shocked when he sees all these toys,” Alistair commented.

I just smile at him. We are heading home. My heart won't stop beating so fast. I am nervous and scared.

When we reached home, the twins went straight to their father's room to show all their shopping bags to their dad. “Why dad isn’t here yet? It's almost late. He should be here by now.” Amelia commented.

“Let's just call, dad,” Alistair suggested

I cleared my throat. It's time. I went to them and seat to level them.

“Amelia, Alistair, I will tell you something. Just listen first and try your best to understand.” I started my speech

Both of them look at me with not much reaction

“Okay,” Alistair said

I sighed aloud. “Your... Your dad and I... We are over.”

Both of them crease their forehead.

“What do you mean mom?” Amelia asked

“Your dad... a-and I... We have broken up.” I finally said it.

Their eyes widen.

“Your lying mom! Then where is dad?” Amelia said and started to cry.

“Your dad already left. We can’t be together anymore, so he can't stay here anymore.”

“Why?” Amelia asked while Alistair is just staring at me.

I honestly dan't know how to answer that. I don't want them to know the truth. I don’t know what will be the effect on them if they found out the true reason for our sudden breakup.

“Something happened that lead us to separate,” I told them

“What exactly happened? Why dad is not here with us anymore?!” Amelia shouted.

“Lower your voice, Amelia. Dad will get angry if he found out that you shouted at mom.” Alistair warned his twins.

“Will dad even care about that? Didn't you hear mom? They broke up!” Amelia hissed.

‘lam sure. Because we know how much dad loves mom.” Alistair answered her.

“They why are not together anymore? Why?!" Then Amelia started to cry aloud.

My heart tightened. It's hard for me to see them like this. But what can I do? I can’t be with their dad anymore.

I went to Amelia and hug her tight. “I'm sorry sweetie if I can’t be with your dad anymore.

Amelia did not give me an answer. She cries non-stop.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

After a while. I was finally able to put Amelia to sleep.

I look at Alistair. He was so calm during the confrontation. He is now looking at me.

I went to his bed and caress his face. “I’m sorry about all this. You and your twin sister didn't deserve to experience this.” I whisper to him. “Don't worry about me, mom. Dad explained it to me already. He asks me to look after you since he wan't be here anymore.” Alistair said.

I was curious about what exactly did Ulie told him. How did he explain this to him?

“Dad told me that he made an unforgivableynistake in the past and both of you just found it recently. Dad alsccSaid that I should never blame-you because he was at fault for everything and you are the- vietim. And I should never leave you bétause you need me thé most.”

My tears kept flowing as I hear my son's word. I can't believe I was talking to a kid. “Thank you, baby. Thank you so much.” I said then I hug him while sobbing

“You know that you will always have my back mom. But I still hope that you and dad will reconcile. I miss us four together.” Alistair said with full of hope.

I was not able to answer him

Weeks have passed since the confrontation. It was not easy. Amelia still keeps on asking about his dad. I can't blame her though, because since then, she was a daddy's girl.

I was able to tolerate Amelia's persistence to convince me to ask his dad to come back to us, until one day I have reached my limit. “Mom, why can't you forgive dad? I'm sure whatever he did to you, he never meant to do it.” Amelia started to convince me.

Just like any other day, I just chose to ignore her request.

“Mom! Why cart you think about us even just onde? You are so Selfish! I'm starting to hate youl! I'm sure that whateverdad did to you is not really a big deal! Dad will never do things thatwill hurt you because hetoves yotr so much!” 4

Amelia’s words lead me to my limit. What their dad did to me is not a big deal? Killing my parents is not a big deal? I look at her with pure coldness. “If you want to be with your dad so bad, then go. No one is stopping you.

Amelia was stunned by what I said. She started to sob and went out of my room.

I know I shouldn't have said that but my emotion got me. I decided to.go to her atid apologize. Their roonris open. +-was about to go inside-when heard Amelia talking on thephone that we provided them. Content bélongs to ~

“Please Auntie Kaela get me out of here. My mom hates me. She doesn’t want me here anymore. I miss my daddy. I want to be with him.
