Julie's POV
The babies are getting so big now. They grow a mile every day. They are almost a year old now.
School is about to end. We have only got one more week and then we graduate.
Tomorrow is the championship hockey game against Westside. If we win all of the ducks get scholarships to go to the same college.
It took a lot of begging but I finally got Portman to agree to let us go. We will get an apartment around the college so we can have plenty of space to raise our angels.
Money is still tight but we are managing just fine now and we know that if we need any help all we have to do is ask one of the ducks and they would be glad to help.
Thankfully we haven't had to do that yet and hopefully we won't have to.
Portman is really late getting home and he hasn't called me yet.
I hope he's ok because if he isn't I don't know what I would do.
All of these thoughts started to rush through my head as the clock struck 9:00.
He's an hour last. He would have called if he had to work late. What if he got in another crash and is lying in the ditch somewhere where nobody can find him.
What if somebody killed him!
What if he had an accident at work and nobody survived!
More thoughts rushed through my head as I watched Matthew and Miracle play on the floor in front of me.
"Where dada at mommy?" Miracle asked as he stumbled over to my foot.
"He'll be home soon sweetie. Go play with your brother." I said not sure if the words I was saying were actually true.
Just then the doorbell rang and I rushed to get it.
My heart sank when I saw a police man standing at the door.
Something has happened to him!
I felt the tears coming to my eyes already as the police man turned around to look at me.
"May I help you?" I asked as I felt a little hand you my leg.
I looked down to see Matthew standing there with his thumb in his mouth.
"Who is dat?" He asked in his sweet innocent little voice.
"Somebody here to tell mommy something. Go play ok?" I said and he shook his head and headed back to the living room.
"Mrs. Portman?" The police man asked. Wow I haven't heard that in a long time.
"Yes." I said.
"Do you know a Miss Christina Gaffney?" He asked.
I felt a big relief in my whole body when he said that name and not Portman's.
"Yes she's my mother." I said.
"Well I'm sorry to tell you but she passed away this morning in a car accident." The police said.
Even thought I didn't like my mother I still loved her.
The tears came as I told the office thank you and said good bye.
I closed the door and leaned against it and then slowly melted to the floor.
"What's wrong mommy?" Miracle asked as they both came crawling over to me.
"Nothing. Mommy just got some bad news that's all." I said as I help them in my arms and kissed each one of their foreheads.
I picked myself off of the floor and walked into the living room with them in my arms.
"Alright time to go to bed." I said as the tears started to dry off of my face.
The moaned as I toted them into their rooms and put them into their separate cribs.
I turned on their mobiles and stood there as they went to sleep.
Then I heard the door open and rushed in to see Portman coming in.
Part of me wanted to go hug him because he was alright and part of me wanted to scream at him for being late.
"Where have you been?" I asked a little agitated.
"I had to work late." He said as he plopped down on the couch like there was nothing wrong.
"Well why didn't you call me?" I asked.
"I forgot and I was a little busy." He said a little more sarcastic than I liked.
"Well I was scared to death!" I said and as he was about to say something I cut him off.
"I mean I thought you were dead and then a police man showed up at the door and I thought he was going to tell me that you were in some ditch on the side of the road." I said in one breath.
"Wait a minute, slow down! Why was there a police man here?" He asked getting up off of the couch.
"He came to tell me my mom died." I said with little emotion.
"Good I hope that bitch burns in hell." He said laughing a little.
I know he didn't mean anything by that but it really hurt my feelings.
"That is my mother you are talking about." I said.
"Well have you forgotten the hell she has put us through?" He asked.
"No but that is no reason for you to say something like that." I said. "Since she is dead you should show her a little respect."
"Well I don't want to." I said.
"Really? Well then you can just leave." I said before I even realized the words that were coming out of my mouth.
"Maybe I will." He said and he walked toward the door.
He slammed the door shut and I heard Matthew start crying.
I started crying myself as I walked in to comfort him.
Even in death my mother was ruining my life.
Was this really the end?
