Chapter 53
Hayley
Xander and I end up having a heart to heart on the way to work. I take him up on his offer to ask as many questions as I want to and truth be told it really helps me get to know my husband on more than just a physical level. I finally feel like I have a right to know these things about him just like he has a right to question me.
I ask about his family because I only know what Gran told me. I wonder if he remembers his parents because I am in my twenties and I know losing my mum would crush me. What about a five year old boy losing his parents? What must that feel like?
Xander tells me how he barely remembers his parents. His whole life has always revolved around Gran being his only family. He explains that while he only remembers their image from photographs, he remembers the way they made him feel…loved. My heart aches for that little boy that had to go through so much at such a formative a

Xander Fuck but my life feels amazing. I should be scared at the prospect of having three kids at once but surprisingly I am not. I know how rare triplets are and I am so excited to meet them. Will they all look alike? Will they all be the same sex or will we get a mix of both?Financially, I can take care of these babies and physically and every other way, I want Hayley and I want these babies. I don’t know what I did to deserve this but I am grateful for my blessings.The car ride to Hayley’s work today was amazing. It made me realise how lucky I am that she came into my life. I listened to her talk about her family and I see why she’s so serious. Why she’s so responsible. I understand her fears and insecurities better than she thinks because I love her. I fucking love her…more than I imagined possible.My phone rings and I press answer on the cars

HayleyMy last day at work is bittersweet. I have been coming to this job almost everyday for years, since I’ve finished campus. I did want to leave before…but for a better job, I never dreamed I would be in the position to leave just because I could and still be financially secure.If I weren’t so financially secure, I don’t think I would be as cool about having these babies as I am, even with Xander around. I would probably be stressing about how I would afford medical bills, diapers and formula. The list would probably be endless because I am the type of person that likes to be prepared. Now, thanks to Xander that load is off my back.Even though it is my last day at work, I don’t get to do much relaxing because the lab is so busy. The lab managers had a month’s notice but they still haven’t found my replacement and it makes me feel sad for my co-workers. Walking away from here, I actually count my blessings.About an

HayleyThe door swings open and I freeze in shock. I expect to see Tash but standing in the doorway with a bottle of water is not Tash but Keith and not just any Keith, but a very badly beaten up Keith. I barely recognise him.“Whoa, what are you going to do with that?” he says, pointing to the statue and holding his hands in the air as if he comes in peace. I stare at him for a moment, still in shock not quite knowing what to say.“Keith, why am I here? Where’s Tash?” I croak out, my voice cracking from the dryness of my throat. I raise the statue in my hand higher as he takes a step closer.“I will answer all your questions Hayley but I think you need to drink some water first,” he says as he offers me the bottle of water.“What? So you can drug me again”“No. I won’t do that again. I’m sorry. It was necessary at the time. Look…,” he says opening the bottle and taking

XanderGran’s tests take longer than I expected and I worry more as each second goes by. They poke and prod her for hours until eventually the doctor comes in to tell me my gran has to go into surgery so they can do a biopsy on the new growth. I sign the necessary paperwork and pace the waiting room of the hospital while Gran is in surgery. It’s scary as fuck.Tyler calls randomly and I tell him about what’s going on with Gran. It isn’t long before the whole crew is at the hospital, dropping everything to support Gran and I.“Where’s Hayley?” asks Kyle“She’s at work. It’s her last day. I didn’t want to tell her about gran while she’s at work…I might need one of you guys to pick her up after work.”“No worries Xander. I’ll do it,” says Henry.“Thanks bro.”I sit my ass down on one of the hospital chairs and the guys follow suit.H

KyleI hang up with Henry and walk back into the waiting room. I enter just as the doctor arrives. She isn’t all smiles and I know immediately something is off.“Mr Dominic, your Gran is out of surgery but we did encounter some complications during surgery. Her blood pressure spiked and we struggled to stabilize her. She is stable for now but she hasn’t regained consciousness post op. In lame mans terms…she is in a coma. We don’t know if its temporary yet but we will monitor her closely. Rest assured we will do everything we can for your grandmother.”The three of us just stare at her. Tyler is closer to Xander. He wraps and arm around his shoulder pulling him closer and telling everything is going to be fine.“How the fuck did this happen?” I hear Xander ask.How the fuck do I tell him about Hayley?“Can I see her now?” Xander asks the doctor.“Yes, follow me but I’m afraid i

XanderOn the huge flat screen on the wall in front of us are various images. One is of a blue Yaris. It is blown up. Hayley is in the front seat but she is slumped in the seat as if she’s sleeping or unconscious. In the driver’s seat is Tash, Hayley’s friend.“What’s going on here?”“This is the footage we got from cameras in and around Hayley’s work area.”“That’s Tash, Hayley’s friend. What is she doing with her? And why does my wife look unconscious. Fuck this can’t be happening.”“Yeah, Henry recognized her too. The call Haley got before she left the lab also came from a Natasha Cole's phone. The cops are bringing her in now. Also, we need to put a trace on your phone in case anyone calls with a ransom.”We drive to the police station on

HayleyIn the middle of nowhere. That’s where I am. I quickly shake the feeling of desolation that comes over me. I have to get back to Xander. I have so much to live for. There has to be a car around here somewhere.“I didn’t go through all this trouble just to let you go so easily honey."I hear Keith’s voice from the open doorway. There is a trickle of blood running down his forehead but it doesn’t seem to bother him. I quickly turn, feeling dizzy again, to see him pointing a gun at me.“I’m going to let what you just did slide and put it down to shock but don’t you ever fucking do that to me again Haley. I promise you, you won’t like the consequences. Now get your ass back in this house or I will drag you back.”I want to tell him to fuck off but I haven’t regained my strength and I still

HayleyXander carries me onto the plane and I have to admit it feels blissful. He hasn’t said anything else to me. Just held onto me so tightly as if his life depended on it.When we enter the plane, Dr Guzman is already waiting for us. Xander places me down gently on a chair that’s already in the reclining position.“Hi Dr Guzman,” I say smiling at the worried looking doctor.“Haley my dear, I am so glad you’re okay. I was worried sick about you. Are you hurt? Are you dizzy.”Xander is still silent. He is standing behind the doctor paying careful attention me.“Erm…I am not feeling dizzy anymore. Whatever he gave me is starting to wear off.”I notice Xander’s jaw clench but I have to tell the doctor about the fall. I am worried about the babies.
