Stay

Chapter 25

say something. Choose something. I got nothing

"There's my perfect boy. Look at you. You're big brother Ethan is going to love you and you're sister so much. But no one in the world loves you more then me and you're dad." Brooke proclaimed. Cradling the infant in her arms.

"Look at what a natural you are with him. I knew you would be."

"You were meant to be a mom." Lucas said.

When Brooke looked at me. I didn't see love and affection that i once had.

She was angry at me. She blamed me for what was going on now.

"I know you feel like i let you down but what was i supposed to do.?" Lucas asked. The emotion in his voice thick.

"You didn't tell me about serious the pregnancy was until the last minute." Lucas added in.

"So that's why you did this? To get back at me.?" "I needed you step up."

"Be the husband and father you claim you've become."

"Then again. I had to talk you into having kids of our own."

"You never really wanted this. You liked the travel and the freedom in the life you were leading. Why did you bother at all.?" Brooke questioned.

"Because i love you. I fell in love with you. And i wanted to give you everything."

"You changed how i felt what i wanted. We're going to be okay." Lucas replied.

"You don't know that." Brooke replied.

The baby boy cries soon filled the hospital room.

The attention back where it belonged.

Even when we found out our daughter was going to live. I still felt her glare on me.

The room was full of tension. I blamed me too. I never told her that. But i did.

Our son was able to go home in a few days. Our daughter needed a few weeks. They wanted to make sure she was ready to go home.

And when she was. I couldn't drive us home quick enough.
