In the morning, I was woken up by my phone ringing and slowly sat up. My entire body felt heavy and stiff. When an unknown number came across the screen, I hesitantly answered it. "Hello?"

"Hey, Will," the light voice said. "Can we meet today? To talk, just the three of us?"

I sighed, "I\'ve had enough harassment. I asked you to leave me alone."

"We realized you had a point. We want to talk it over with you and try to fix all of this."

"One discussion is not going to fix this."

"Please, Will."

"I have to take care of my baby."

"We can come to you." He insisted as I turned over to my back and sighed, "please Will. We shouldn\'t have listened to Elijah. We should at least try to understand where you\'re coming from."

I looked at the time and felt my heart ache. I missed taking them to school, for the first time ever. I\'m even failing them.

"I\'ll text you my address. You need to come before 2 pm, that\'s when I get the kids."

"We\'ll be there soon."

I sat up slowly and felt like I had the worst hangover ever. I took my time getting dressed and going downstairs. When I got to the kitchen, I heard Addie squeal and immediately felt a smile come to my face. I went over to her high chair and picked her up so I could hold her close. I turned and smiled to Cora who sat at the island.

"Hey there sleepy head."

"I\'m surprised the twins let me sleep in."

"Chase talked them into it. He said you were out with Marie late last night. You should\'ve told me you were going out!"

"Sorry, it was last minute. I didnt want to bother you." I bounced Addie slightly, "have you heard from Jay?"

She nodded and my heart dropped, "he\'s so lost without me there. I think he\'s called me 6 times just this morning! Why?"

I forced a smile while lightly squeezing Addie more, "no reason. Just wanted to make sure he made it safe."

"Are you sure you\'re okay? You look really worn out. Maybe had too much fun last night?"

I nodded, "something like that."

"Well, I have to go into the office today so I should get going. Text me if you need anything." Cora left the kitchen but suddenly popped her head back in, "do you want me to tell Jayden to call you?"

I shook my head as I looked down to Addie, "no, it\'s okay. I don\'t want to bother his work."

Cora nodded before leaving us and I lost my composure. I crouched on the flood and cradled Addie in my arms. My body began to shake and I began to cry as I remembered last night. I betrayed Jayden, in more ways than one. And I can\'t apologize yet because he\'s busy. Its eating me alive with guilt! I quickly began rubbing my lips with my shirt sleeve even though it burned slightly. Just two more days, then I can see him. He\'ll call and we can talk about it, at least by tonight.

I brought Addie into the living room and we began playing with her toys. Cora called out a goodbye before leaving the house and I felt my anxiety rise. I didn\'t expect Cora to be gone while they are here. But then again, maybe it\'s for the best. I don\'t want to worry her or Jayden find out through her rather than me.

I was startled when the doorbellrang. Addie looked to me and I slowly got up. I picked her up and went to the door. I took a deep breath before opening the door and slightly smiled to them.

"Hey, glad you were able to find the place."

Sean smirked slightly, "how could you miss it? Its huge!"

I nodded as my smile slipped away and I opened the door wide. "Come on in." They both slinked in and ogled the entire house. I shut the door before gesturing for them to follow me. I led them to the living room and we all paused as Addie began whining. "Go ahead and take a seat. I\'ll be right back."

I went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle before returning to see they were seated next to each other on the long couch. I sat in the single person chair near the couch and began feeding Addie. I looked up when Cam cleared his throat.

"So you had a little girl?" I nodded, "what\'s her name?"

"Addie Dalia Peters." I replied, "she\'s named after Jayden\'s sister."

"He wanted to at least pick one name, I guess."

I frowned towards Sean, "the twins picked her name. We gave them ten names and that\'s what they chose."

"How have you been?"

I looked down to Addie, "until yesterday," I began before glaring at them. "Life has been nearly perfect."

"And the twins?"

I crossed my legs, "they\'re making friends. One has even come to our house to play, which is the first time that\'s happened."

Cam smiled, "that\'s good to hear. I always think of them when I see kids in our neighborhood." He hesitated, "have you been able to make friends in this society?"

I chuckled before smirking to him, "it doesn\'t matter where I go, Cam. You should understand that. Especially in the elites, Omegas are nothing but problems." I began rocking Addie, "if Jay wasn\'t a serious elite in the Alpha world, it would be even worse." A knock came to the front door and I glared at them, "did you plan another ambush?!"

Cam looked to me with surprise, "no! No one knows we came here!"

I sighed before getting up and going to the door. I opened it to see Marie with a giant smile, "hi beach bum! How was the trip?"

I looked to her in surprise when she let herself in, "what are you doing here?"

She smirked, "Cora called and said you were feeling a bit under the weather. I thought I\'d give you a break from Addie."

I sighed, "I actually have some people over right now..."

"Oh! Omigod I\'m so sorry! Jayden said you never have people over so I didn\'t even think to call. Should I go?"

I gulped, "has Ean heard from Jayden by chance?"

She nodded, "they talked this morning."

Tears welled in my eyes as I rushed to look away, but my attention was diverted when Cam suddenly came out into the hallway.

"Oh, you have other visitors! We should..." as Cam made direct eye contact with me, he rushed over. He immediately began wiping tears away as they fell. "What happened?!"

Marie rushed to try to get to me, but paused when Cam stared her down, "Will?"

I pushed Cam away and shook my head, "still struggling with the hormones," I lied and saw Marie\'s expression shift.

"How about I take care of Addie for a bit. Then you can talk with your guests."

"But..."

Marie outstretched her arms to me, "I insist."

I handed over Addie before kissing her cheek and then walked back to the living room. I sat down and wiped the last of my tears before letting out a deep breath. Cam put his hand on my knee with a worried expression.

"If someone\'s upsetting you, why let them into your house?"

"She\'s the wife of Jayden\'s friend, so I guess she\'s the only person I could call a friend. She didn\'t upset me, I\'m just overwhelmed."

"Overwhelmed?"

I nodded as I looked to Sean, "I haven\'t gotten to talk to Jayden about what happened last night. He\'s on an important business trip and my guilt is getting to me."

"What do you have to be guilty for?"

I sighed deeply, "I didn\'t discuss going to meet Elijah with him, I just did it without thinking. And then, I have to confess what Asher did...what I didn\'t stop him from doing."

"You didn\'t do anything wrong in either case, Will," Sean insisted. "Asher crossed the line and I made that very clear after you left."

Cam squeezed my knee slightly, "we didn\'t mean to ambush you yesterday. Elijah told everyone that you agreed to meet with all of us to discuss how to get you out of this mess."

"He said you wanted to leave."

I chuckled slightly, "he\'s something else. Setting everyone up for problems, what an ȧss." I looked to my ŀȧp, "all I did was tell him that he was crazy when he sent me those pictures. He bet me that he could guess Jayden\'s next move and he got it right, so I had to meet with him. He never said anyone would be with us and I just planned to meet with him and ensure he would stop messing with my family."

"Do you think he\'s cheating with that girl in the pictures?" I shook my head quickly, "but what if they are? What are you going to do?"

"Jay has changed," I insisted. "He does everything and anything to keep us safe and happy. He loves me and the kids. I know there is something that will clear all this up. He would never see someone behind my back, never."

Cam sighed, "we plan to support you in any decision you make, Will. I can\'t speak for the others but if you believe him, then we won\'t get in the way. But," he squeezed my knee again, "if things change, we are here to help you.. We want to be part of your life regardless of the past. We will work on accepting Jayden, okay?"
