"What are you doing here?" I asked while glaring at Shane.
"I'm here to see my children," Shane replied emphasizing the word my.
"They are not your children, Shane. You stopped being their father the moment you walked out the kitchen door without so much as listening for an explanation besides your name isn't even on the birth certificate!" I shouted.
I shouldn't have shouted at Shane but I realized that a little too late. Amelie, Elizabeth, and Sam came running at vampire speed down the stairs.
"Mommy, what's wrong?" Sam asked, moving in front of my legs to stand protectively in front of me. I looked at my little boy and smiled at him trying to protect his mother. Sam always did consider himself the 'man of the house'.
I knelt down next to Sam before saying, "Nothing baby. Mommy's just a little upset with daddy right now."
"Oh, can I hurt him?" Sam said, his eyes got wide and innocent. His face was so adorable; it was the look that his father used to give when we were dating. I wondered how would I be able to say no to such an adorable face.
I knew that if I had let Sam hurt Shane, I would look like the bad parent. I was instantly torn with what I wanted to see but with what I knew was right. I let out a sigh as I closed my eyes knowing the answer.
"No, Sam you can't hurt daddy," I replied, softly shaking my head at my innocent son.
"Oh," Sam spoke softly. He dropped his head, in sadness and disappointment. I could tell that he wanted to hurt Shane.
"Oh Sam." I pulled my little boy into my arms for a strong hug. As I held my son in my arms, I felt something wet on my shoulder and realized that my baby boy was crying.
I hated seeing Sam cry. Whenever he cried, there was always a piece of me that hurt. Seeing Sam cry was like seeing Shane cry. It always hurt me when they both cried. Something inside me just seemed to hurt.
"I'm sorry baby," I whispered. I held Sam as he cried into my shoulder.
"It's not fair mommy! Why does he think he can walk in our lives now?" Sam questioned, pulling himself away from my shoulder to glare at Shane.
"I don't know Sam, but I don't want him in our lives either," I said more to Shane than to Sam.
"I don't want a daddy, mommy!" Elizabeth said, speaking for the first time.
"Why not Lizzie girl?" I asked, glancing at Shane to see his reaction.
"Because I already have three daddy figures in my life," Elizabeth said.
"Yeah, Uncle Michael, Uncle Jasper, and Richard," Sam said, finishing his sisters thoughts.
"The children are correct, Mr. Collins. Though they have never had a father; they do have several father figures in their life. Making your entire argument, useless," Amelie said, speaking for the firs. Her voice was quiet but it was full of power and control.
"Yeah, what Amelie said," Elizabeth said, while glaring at Shane. She stuck her little pink tongue out at Shane, wanting the last word.
"Elizabeth Amelie Danvers-Collins, that is not polite. Do not stick your tongue out at your father!" I exclaimed, feeling ashamed of Elizabeth's little attitude; which she had inherited from Shane. Shane didn't say anything, instead he just stared at Sam and Elizabeth, like they were complete strangers.
His eyes were wide and glistened with nonexistent tears. I felt sorry for Shane as I watched the hope slowly leave his eyes, as he realized that had made a huge mistake. I felt terrible for Shane; he was never going to get a chance to get to know his two children. The one thing that I wanted for Shane was to know his children but that wasn't my choice.
Shane's eyes filled with tears as Elizabeth and Sam embraced some part of my body. I wondered just how difficult it was for him to watch.
S Pov (A/N: Surprise you get to see what's going on in Shane's gorgeous head.)
I felt the tears in my eyes, as I watched the love of my life and my two twin children hug each other. I instantly felt hatred towards myself. The biggest mistake that I had ever made in my life was leaving Claire, pregnant and alone. Now here she was with my two children, who had made it perfectly clear that I was not their father.
My heart seemed to break, as Elizabeth's words cut deep into my heart. I realized which parent she had gotten her attitude from. She really was my daughter if she could be that sassy.
I stared at Elizabeth and Sam, both were adorable, Elizabeth, with her curly light brown hair. Her eyes were a dark intense brown, like her mother's eyes. Sam, Sam wasn't very big for a three year old. He actually reminded me of Claire with his short size. He had dark brown hair that had hints of gold peeking out. His eyes were a soft light brown, like my own. I was glad to know that my two children had something of me with them.
Well, that's it for chapter 9! Stay tuned for chapter 10! =)
