Chapter 16:
Aria's POV:
I pull up to the house. There's so much pain from the position that the baby is laying that I keep my hands in the steering wheel and put my head in the middle to try and relive it.
Jade: Mom, can you unlock the door so we can get out?
Aria: Sorry.
I go to click the button when the baby moves a bit and the pain increases.
Aria: Ahh.
Oliver: Mommy!
Jade: Mom, are you ok? Mom!
Aria: Get you father.
I actually click the button this time. Oliver climbs into the front passenger seat and comforts me, whilst Jade unclips her seat belt and runs to the door and pound on it.
Jade: Dad! DAD! OPEN THE DOOR!
I hear Ezra open the door!
Ezra: Jade, calm down! What's wrong?
Jade: It's mom, I don't know what's wrong. She just said, get your father.
Ezra: Where is she?
I can see Ezra running towards the car after Jade points to the car. Soon enough, Ezra is tugging at the car handle. It won't open. I click the button and it swings open with a lot of force.
Ezra: Aria, baby, what's wrong?
Aria: The baby is laying funny again and it moved and its so painful.
Ezra: Oh it's ok.
Ezra takes me into his arms whilst I start crying because the pain is so bad.
Aria: It hurts so much.
Spencer's POV:
I set up a bed for April and Jacob. Jacob is in Masons room and April is in Isabella's room, and I'm in my bed.I lay awake, crying. Wishing Toby could be there with me. I know he's only in Ibiza, but we've hardly been apart since we met over 10 years ago. I decide to try and call him. I'm halfway through finishing his number, when I get a call from him.
Toby: Spencer.
Spencer: Toby, I was about to ring you.
Toby: You were? Anyway, I miss you so much.
Spencer: I miss you to.
I wipe my tears with my shirt.
Toby: Are you crying?
Spencer: A bit, cause I miss you.
Toby: I'm coming home in one week, but if you want me to come home early, I'll get the first flight back to America tomorrow.
Spencer: No, stay with Wayne and everyone. You deserve a break.
Toby: Ok, well night.
Spencer: Night.
I end the call and try to go to sleep. I wake up in the morning from a crying noise. ItS coming from Isabella's room. I jump out of bed and run into my daughters room to find her having a nightmare. April is still asleep. Isabella wakes up, I comfort her and go back to sleep as it is 4 am. I wake again at a reasonable time. I can here the kids playing in Masons room. I get up and walk in. When I enter, they all get up and hug me.
Spencer: Shall we have some breakfast?
Isabella: Yeah.
The kids race down stairs, but April falls from the last step at the bottom. I run down to the bottom. She's not crying, but has bruised her knee
Spencer: April, are you ok?
April: Yeah, it hurts a bit.
Spencer: Everyone go sit down. Do you want waffles or toast?
Hanna's POV:
I pick the kids up from Spencer's at around 3 pm. I take them home and help them with their homework.
April: Mom, my knee still hurts.
Hanna: Get your dad to put some more ice on it.
Caleb puts some ice on her knee.
Caleb: Hanna, can you get a some of the crème for bruises please?
Hanna: Sure.
I hand the crème to Caleb who spreads a bit on Aprils knee.
Jacob: Mom, can we stay at grandpas house tonight?
April: No, can we stay at grandmas house?
Hanna: Enough! It's Sunday and you both have school tomorrow. You can stay at grandma and grandpas houses on Friday.
Caleb: Kids, go upstairs. Me and your mother need to talk.
The kids go upstairs and me and Caleb sit on the couch
Hanna: What do you want to talk about?
Caleb: I've been offered a job, it's only a half hour drive from here. It's for an Apple Store.
Hanna: That's amazing!
Caleb: And it earns better money.
Hanna: Come here.
As me and Caleb kiss, I feel Molly kick very hard.
Hanna: She's kicking again.
Caleb puts his hand to where I point to.
Caleb: She's a feisty one like : Hmm. I bet she'll have your looks.
Hanna: Maybe, she might have you beautiful eyes though.
Toby's POV:
Me, Wayne, Jackson and Chris all make our way to the night club that is in our hotel. We walk past foam party's, and all those kind of things. We don't even get to the night club, before 4 girls step out in front of us. One of them roams their hands on my abs. I pull her off.
Toby: What do you think your doing?
Sasha: You look amazing. Me and my fried da here have been following you for ages.
Wayne: Cough, weirdo, cough.
The girls are talking in Spanish accents.
Lydia: You want to go to party?
Chris: No, we're good thanks.
Karen: Come on, it will be fun.
Jackson: No. Thanks but no thanks.
Nelly: Come on girls, let's go find some other boys.
Me and my friends carry on with out walk to the night club.
Wayne: Let's go!
After what feels like an endless amount of time, me, Wayne, Jackson and Chris stumble out of the nightclub. We make our way back to our hotel so we can get energy for round two tomorrow. We get back to our hotel rooms and I collapse in my king size bed.
Toby: Hmmm.
I lay there, just thinking about Mason, Isabella and my beautiful wife, Spencer. I have a shower and then get into the bed which I wish that the other half could be filled by Spencer.
Wayne: Toby…Toby open the door.
I get out if bed and slowly drag my feet to the door. I open it and Wayne falls through the frame. He face plants the floor. I help him up and sit him on a chair. Then we hear a series of bangs from down stairs.
Wayne: What the fuck was that?
Toby: Get in the closet, now.
Spencer's POV:
I'm at work when I get a call from Toby. It's really loud in his end so I can't hear much.
Spencer: Toby, what's going on, I can't hear you.
Toby: Spencer. Don't worry about me. I just want you to know how much I love you, and make sure the kids know how much I love them.
Spencer: Toby Cavanaugh, tell me what is going on! It's sounds like guns are being shot.
Toby: Spencer please.
Spencer: TELL ME!
Toby: There's a siege in the hotel. I'm with Wayne, but I don't know about Jackson and Chris. I'm in the closet, and I'm gonna try and get out. When I'm sure they've gone, I'm packing my stuff and getting the first flight home
Spencer: Oh my god. Toby! I'm coming to Ibiza now!
Toby: Don't, you'll risk your life for nothing.
Spencer: I love you.
Toby: I gotta go, someone's coming. I love you to.
Just like that, the phone call that changed my life was ended. I have just found out that my loving husband could be dead before the nights out. I'm with Helen in the shop and I break down in tears.
Helen: Hey, what's wrong?
Spencer: It's Toby, my husband.
Helen: What's wrong?
Spencer: There's a siege at his hotel.
Helen: Oh no. Everything is gonna be ok. Go home, I'll look after the shop.
Spencer: Ok.
I leave the shop in the hands of Helen and sit in my car. I drive home and when I get there, I sit in the couch and watch telly. My program is interrupted by the news. The headline is 'siege in Spanish hotel in'. It shows a clip of police taking over and getting into the hotel to rescue people. Hopefully Toby is alright.
