Spider POV

Today is the day that everyone will find out. As I made sure the house was clean, I checked in on the twins who were having a nap before making my way to the door when I heard a car pull up. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and welcomed them in.

"Wow, first time at your house. It's big and clean Spider." Ro said as he looked at the photos on the wall.

"Haha, yep. Welcome. There is actually a reason why I invited you all here. Well, I have two kids. Twins to be precise. My ex passed away and now I have full custody. I'll be leaving Hammersley to make sure I will be around for them. And yeah, the reason I had it from you all is because I feel like you all don't respect me and would make fun at me and yeah." I blurt out quickly.

Silence. That's all there was. Just pure, plain, agonising silence. Where I didn't know what everyone was thinking and feeling.

"Ok well, congratulations, our condolences and I guess when can we meet them?" it was Bomber who spoke up.

"Well, they are currently napping but when they wake if you guys want to stay for dinner, I guess we can have a meet and greet."

"Ok that sounds really nice Spide. And I just want to say I'm sorry for making you feel like you couldn't tell us this. I know I don't act like it but you're my best friend and I'm always here and I'm excited to have these two in my life." Bomber spurted out as she stepped up to hug me. Nods and murmurs went all around. Well that went better than expected.

An hour later I heard some movement down the hall.

"Uh Spide, I think they are awake."

"Ok. Um give me a minute while I go get them."

He walked down the hall and into a room. I could hear him talking quietly and I started getting nervous. I'm not good with kids and what if they didn't like us? What if they didn't like me?

"Ok everyone, I would like you to meet Jake and Lucy. Lucy, Jake this is daddy's family."

Swain was the first to move and one by one we all met the kids. As it was my turn, I couldn't help but notice the similarities. They both had his eyes. But Jake, he was exactly what I imagined young Spider to look like.

I ordered pizza to be delivered while Spide tried to figure out what movie we would watch. Lucy wanted Tangled and Jake wanted The Jungle Book. Stifling my laughter at Spider's face I made my way into the kitchen to grab paper towel, glasses and plates, luckily finding paper ones. Making my way out to the entertaining room I placed it all onto the coffee table.

"Okay pizza will be here in 15 minutes what movie did we pick?"

"Well you are the deciding vote, so what movie?" Bird explained as she sat herself down in between Ryan and Dutchy.

"Then I say we watch Tangled this time and maybe next time we can watch the Jungle Book; how does that sound Jake?"

"I guess." I couldn't help but laugh at his little pout.

"Thanks buddy. I promise next time, your choice." I said as I held out my little finger. Slowly his finger wrapped around mine. Grabbing my hand, he pulled me towards the couch pointing at the spot near Spider. I shook my head,

"No buddy I'll leave the sofa for the others. I'm going to sit on the floor okay." And with that I plopped down at Spiders feet and then Jake sat on my lap.

"Hey Jake, maybe Bec doesn't want you to sit on her" Spider piped up from behind. I tilted my head back to look at his face.

"It's all good Spide, I don't mind."
