Tina stopped about three hours down the road to feed and change the babies and grab herself something to eat at a nice little truck stop which was pretty much empty. While she waited for the waitress to bring her order she pulled her cell phone out of her purse and turned it on to check her messages when the screen came on she saw that she had five new messages. Two of the messages were from Paul just checking on her and wanting to know when she would get to his house, and the other three were Dave telling her how sorry he was for everything that he had done to her and telling her that he can't live without her and that he loves her and the babies very much, the last message was left just ten minutes ago.
"Tina I can't tell you how crazy I am right now without you here next to me. I know that I screwed up big time, I have broken every single promise that I have ever made to you and I know that I don't deserve a third chance with you. But I'm asking you to please forgive me and come home. I know that you won't come home when you hear this or with in the next couple days or even month, you too stubborn to, but I swear to you when you do come home I will prove to you exactly how much I love you and how much I need you in my life. Please call me when you get to Paul's, I know that where you're going you've told me many times before that he is the only man that you can trust, which kinda hurts because I'm suppose to be the only man that you trust. But that's my own fault. I love you Tina." Tina looked down at her sleeping babies sitting beside her in the booth and smiled, she dialed Paul's home phone number and waited for him to pick up which only took two rings. She told him where she was and about how long it would take to get to his place from the truck stop then ended the conversation as her food came.
Tina pulled in the driveway to Paul's three story mansion after turning the car off she looked down at her watch seeing that it was five am with a yawn she opened her car door and stepped out stretching in the process. Paul opened the front door of his house and walked down to greet her by pulling her into a hug. He helped her take the babies inside along with her bags and helped her get them settled in the only bedroom that he had which was his, seeing as he just moved in the house and hadn't had time to go out and by extra furniture yet. Tina sat on the edge of his bed and began feeding Xavier hoping that once his belly was full he would follow his sister's lead and go back to sleep so she could get some sleep. Once his belly was full and he burped Tina laid him in the playpen that Paul had went out and bought right after there phone conversation the pervious night, she then sat back on the bed and slipped her shoes off and laid back not caring to change her clothes.
Paul walked in his bedroom and found Tina sound asleep on top of the covers still fully dressed. He really felt bad for her with everything that his best friend had put her through since they had begun dating almost a year ago he wished that there was something that he could do to help her get through this rough patch in her life. He pulled the covers from under her then tucked them in around her and watch as she stirred at the touch of his hand as it brushed against the side of her face. Paul quietly walked over and sat in the chair that he had in the corner of the room and watched as she slept. "I can not let my feelings for her get out of control again." He had never talked about what happened that night to any one, that night he could get the actions from that night out of his mind no matter how hard he tried. Every free second that he had he found himself thinking of that night and good it felt to be inside her. He really did lover her but he knew that she didn't feel the same way about him, her heart belonged to Dave and there was nothing that he could do to change that.
Paul woke a few hours later when he heard Seharia crying, he stood from his chair and picked up his little god daughter cradling her next to his massive body. He smiled down at her and walked over to the bag that had all the baby things in and pulled out a diaper and a fresh pair of pjs for her then walked into the bathroom and filled the sink with water as he stripped her down. He held her in the sink with one arm while he washed her off with his other hand as he talked to her in a soft voice, he didn't even know that he had a soft voice. After giving her a bath he wrapped her up in a huge bath towel and walked back in the bed room and laid her down on the bed, he put the diaper and pjs on her then walked over to the playpen and picked up a cooing Xavier and walked back in the bathroom to give him a bath. Once he had Xavier bathed and dressed he knelt beside the bed and began to make faces and goofy sounds to keep the babies occupied until their mother woke.
Tina slowly opened her eyes and watched as Paul played peak a boo with the two babies, this was a side of him that she was sure that no one else had seen. He was such a tough guys in front of the camera's and the other guys or some girl that he was trying to pick, but Tina knew the real side of him. The loving and caring side, the side that he always used when he was with her where they were alone, he was a completely different guy when they were together he really cared about what she had to say he also had a lot to say himself if they hit the right topic. Tina always loved to get him going there were a few topics that would just get him so riled up and Tina would just sit back and laugh. There was also the way he made love to her, he had told her many times that night that it was just sex and nothing more, but she know better then that there was something in the way that he touched and kissed her that night, he was so gentle and made sure that her needs were met before his were. She had thought of that night so many times sine it happened and she wasn't sure why, she didn't have any feelings for him expect for friendly feelings.
Paul looked up at Tina seeing that she was awake and watching him interact with the babies, he gave her a smile as he stood and sat on the bed decide her.
"They are most likely hungry, I gave them both a bath and dressed them I would have fed them but I'm kinda lacking a few things to do that." Tina let out a laugh as she sat up beside him.
"If you would have looked in the fridge you would have found two full bottles."
"But I thought you were breast feeding them?"
"I am, it's just easier to use a bottle ever now and then plus it makes it so Dave or any one else can feed them. But its okay I'll feed them since I'm up I need to before I explode."
"Well while you do your thing I'm going to jump in the shower."
After they both took their showers and were dressed Paul fixed them breakfast and they sat in the kitchen each holding a baby as they ate making little conversation through out the meal. Paul wanted to ask her about Dave and what she was going to do but decided not to when Tina was ready to talk about it she would talk to him he didn't want to seem like he was pushing the issue on her. After breakfast Tina helped Paul wash up the dishes then they walked into the living to check on the babies, Tina picked up the remote and sat on the couch with Paul beside her.
"I guess I should call Dave and let him know that I got here okay." Paul handed her the phone from the coffee table.
"I'll leave you to talk to him."
"I don't know if I'm ready to talk to him about this whole thing yet." Tina let out a sigh. "You should have heard the messages that he left me on my way down here, I think he's trying to make me feel bad about leaving. I know it's what I had to do it's something I had to do for myself and him. He can't make the right decision if I'm around the house."
"You do what you think is best for you and he babies." With that Paul walked out of the living room leaving her to call Dave.
Tina slowly dialed the number to their house and on the first ring Dave picked up the phone.
"Tina?" He sounded hurt the tone almost broke her heart.
"Yeah, I just wanted to let you know that I got here okay."
"You should have been there hours ago; I was really getting worried about you."
"I got here around five am, but when I got here I put the babies to bed then I went to bed."
"Are Xavier and Seharia doing okay?"
"Yeah they're fine, doing what they do best, seeping." Tina gave a small laugh. "What about you?"
"I couldn't sleep last night because you weren't here with me. Tina I can't do this another night I have to have you here with me I can't live without you."
"Dave you can't say that right now, I haven't even been gone a day, you need time to think things through. Give it a week or two; I'll call you in a couple days. Take care of yourself Dave." With that she hung up before he had a chance to say anything else. She stood from the couch and walked down the hall to Paul's office; she knocked on the door then slowly opened the door. "Am I doing the right thing here?"
Paul set the papers down that he had been reading over and looked up at her from across his desk. "Yes I do. You're right Tina he needs to decide these things alone, he can't make the right choice with you there in the house, and he needs to know what it's like being without you." Paul stood from his chair and walked around his desk and pulled Tina into his arms for a hug. "I know its hard sweetie but you need this as much as he does. Now for the next couple days I want you to completely relax and not do a thing expect for take care of the babies. I will cook and clean and do anything else that needs done in this house. Try not to think of Dave and things that are going on right now, for the next few days I want you to act like he doesn't exist if you have to. I want you to feel single and free."
"You're going to cook?" Tina asked with a half smile.
"Okay so maybe I'll just order out for every meal, since I really can't cook anything expect for eggs and I don't think that you want eggs every meal every day as long as you stay here."
