Chapter 11

Having been sat there on the step for what felt like forever Caden began to worry even more, his dad hadn't said a word since finding out what Marley had done.

Processing what Caden had just told him Paul realised he should say something to reassure his son, looking down he saw the worried look on Caden' face "you don't need to worry about this ok, everything will be fine" Caden looked up at his dad "we can still stay here with you and with Stephanie?" Pauls heart sank and he pulled Caden into a hug and kissed his forehead "I would never give you up ever, never forget that ok" Caden smiled and nodded "now you go up to your room, do you know where Stephanie and aurora are?" Caden and pointed towards the play room "in there" Caden then headed upstairs to his room keeping out of the way for the rest of the day.

Trying his best to keep his temper in check Paul walked through living room and into the kid's playroom, he found his wife curled up on the couch with his daughter in her arms. Visible tears stained both of their cheeks breaking his heart in two. As he sat down beside his wife he was glad that at least one innocent soul wasn't hurt by what had happened and that was Murphy who was sound asleep on her play mat in the corner.

Paul turned to face his wife and placed a gentle hand upon her knee "are you both ok?" he asked with a gentle tone as he tried to sooth his wife who was soothing there child.

"Are we both ok….. What do you think" Stephanie scoffed as she refused to look Paul in the face.

Sighing Paul moved his hand to hers but she was quick to move it away.

"Why don't you go ask your brat of a daughter… she's lucky that all I did was shout at her"

To say Stephanie was angry was an understatement, her own daughter had endured what was sure to have been an horrific scene to her, so she had every right to be as mad and as pissed off as she was right now.

"Caden told me what happened; Marley had no right doing what she did Stephanie I know that"

Adjusting a now sleeping Aurora in her arms, Stephanie still refused to look up at Paul.

He didn't need her to look him in the eyes to see how blood shot and red her eyes were from crying, that was more than apparent with her body language.

"She's not going to get away with this Steph…."

Standing up Paul leaned down and kissed Stephanie on the cheek despite her efforts at avoiding the contact, he then ran a gentle hand over auroras head as she slept before leaving the room and going upstairs.

Had aurora and murphy not been a sleep in the room, Stephanie would have said much more than she had but aurora had been through enough, not to mention that Murphy would have been much more scared being she was so small.

As Paul reached the top of the stairs he took a few deep breaths to calm himself as much as possible, he then made his way to Marley's room he noticed Caden' door was shut, the poor guy didn't know what was going on.

Paul walked straight in Marley's room and closed the door too behind.

"Are you happy with yourself now…. not only have you upset Stephanie and your little sister, but your brother thinks he's going to get kicked out because of your actions. Why would you do that Marley, she accepted you in her home and made you apart of it, and what did Stephanie ever do to you?

Not receiving a reply Paul shook his head "if you don't sort it out Marley you're going to miss out on things you wished you were a part of… when you have something to say you shout me, until then you will stay in your room for the rest of the day!"

Paul got up and walked out, he at least expected an apology from her but she stayed quiet the whole time Maybe her grandmother could help in some way Paul thought.

Paul had told his parents about the situation he had ended up in when he first found out about the twins, but it was only now that they had found the time to make the trip to see everyone and meet the twins, Paul hoped his mother's less strict tone and more caring personality would bring out of Marley what she was holding in.

Paul headed back downstairs and flopped down into the couch, nothing ever seemed to go the way he wished one minuet things were then twins get sprung on him, then things started working now, then Marley sporadically has the outburst of emotions, emotions that she clearly doesn't know how to control or re-act too.

As Paul lay on the couch thinking, he saw a feminine figure appear from the kitchen with a bag of things, standing up he frowned.

"Where are you going?" Paul asked, he really didn't want Marley to get between the two of them, in fact it was the last thing he needed.

Stephanie sighed as she placed her bag by the stares "I'm getting out of this house to clear my head and going to my parents" she was clearly not in the mood and just wanted to talk to a family member who wouldn't be so biased like Paul would. She walked straight passed Paul and into the play room, she wasn't about to leave aurora in the house after what had happened.

Steph picked up a still sleepy aurora and put her shoes on, "where are we going mummy?" aurora asked as she rubbed at her eyes.

Stephanie smiled softly "we're going to go to grandma and grandpa's for a little bit, just me and you"

Aurora held out her arms to be picked up, feeling too tired to walk so Steph picked her up and walked through to where she had left her things at the stairs.

Seeing aurora had her shoes on as Steph walked passed he frowned "wouldn't you rather go by yourself too cool off!"

Countering the argument Stephanie shook her head "given what's just happened no I wouldn't I'd rather her have fun with my dad and not worry." As Stephanie put on her shoes and picked up her bag and keys she walked towards the front door "when will you b…" Paul sighed as he was cut off mid-sentence by the front door slamming.
