"Isabella, are you okay?" He asked the moment he heard her voice. "I said, where are my children?" Isabella asked him again. What she was more afraid of was if he had taken the opportunity of her one night absent and had hidden her babies. She wouldn't be so surprised if he did that anyway since that was the entire reason why they were involved with each other. "Where are you?" Seth asked her, frowning his face even though she couldn't see his expressions. "Home. But that is not the conversation we are having right at the moment. Where are my babies?""Victoria and Samuel are both fine. Stay right at the house, we'll be home before the next forty-five minutes," Seth implored her. He hung up the call and closed his eyes. His breathing was harsh as it released all the vapor he had kept hidden in his lungs. "Come on, you guys. Mommy is back." He announced it to them. He grabbed Samuel first and placed him back in the stroller. Then, he reached for Victoria who kept trying to wriggle o

Isabella cleaned her body with the towel she had around her chest. She had just finished taking her bath and was trying to hurry up with her dressing before the twins woke up and began their usual fussing for the morning. It was even more hectic for her since Seth no longer helped with caring for the babies the way he always did in the past. To be fair, it wasn't that he didn't want to, it was that she stopped him from coming to her room. After the incident of moving out and accusations flying around that happened between her and the man about two weeks ago, she had decided to cut him off from her life completely and partially from the life of their babies. Now, she no longer allowed him to get anything for her and the babies. In fact, she refrained from eating in the house and made sure she always bought the babies' food with her pennies. She didn't need someone like him hovering around her life. If it weren't for the promise she made to him, she would have moved out immediately with

"I told you to get some sleep," Seth said the moment he entered the hospital room and saw Isabella still seating up. Oh, she was doing more than just sitting though. She was examining the babies and making sure that they were still breathing. He knew that she was worried about the babies. And in all honesty, he was too. But just as he was worried about the babies, so also he was worried about their mother. If she continued the path she was choosing, he was afraid that she would collapse also and that would completely drive him crazy."At least listen to me this time." He urged her when he got fully into the room.Isabella gave a hefty sigh as she turned to look at Seth. The man was now standing beside her where she sat and he was looking at their babies over and over again. She managed a smile when she heard him sighed. He was just as worried as she was, she knew that. She also knew that he just continued to act like he wasn't really bothered because he wanted to act like the toughest

The light from the morning sun stole its way into the room and woke Isabella up from her sleep. She stretched herself, feeling very refreshed. She yawned as she opened her eyes and immediately she saw that someone was sleeping on the bed with her, she swallowed the rest of the yawning. She tried to move out of his reach but he chose that moment to hold her even closer to himself. She gasped softly and when she saw him frowned in his sleep, she stilled in his arms. As she watched him sleep, she couldn't help but remember how he had taken extra good care of her the previous night. The way he had fed her, bathed her, and tucked her into bed. Try as she may, she couldn't overlook the effort he made in making sure she was very comfortable. But then, she became very conflicted. She didn't know what to think or make of his attitude toward her. For a man who had accused her of being a gold digger, she couldn't understand why he would just take care of her that much. With the way he acted lik

"I'm telling you guys that it is not what you are thinking about!" Isabella yelled at the two older women for what felt like the millionth time. "Victoria, drop that." She commanded her daughter who had a teddy bear halfway to her mouth. "Yeah, right." Her mother snorted at her. Isabella looked at the two women and shook her head in disbelief. She couldn't believe how much fuse the women were making just because she wore Seth's shirt. All through the ride home, they would not let her be. Now, they were already in the house and they were still giving her a hard time. No matter what she said or how many times she repeated it, it only felt like she was giving them more energy to dispute her words. "You know what? Just continue to say whatever it is you want to say?" She told them. To make sure they heard her well, she gestured with her hand, moving it up and down in order to encourage them to continue. "I'm not going to say a word about it anymore."The two older women began to giggle
