"Why are you restless?"Devon asked and Laura stopped walking and looked up at him, he stood folding his hand."Is it not obvious?""Hmm, no, if I knew I won't be asking you,"He said and she stared blankly at him wanting to punch him a little, he was flexing his new ability to stand without help, having gotten the doctors approval, he has been learning to stand again and also taking small steps,"Are you for real? I am meeting my siblings today," she announced throwing her hands in the air."And is that a reason to be restless? They are your flesh and blood not like they will eat you or something,""You are not helping Mr. I am nervous here," she replied eyeing him"I don't get why you are though, you have been speaking with them for the past week, you have met Sophia and Susan before, so what's there to be nervous about?" He asked raising his eyebrows."Well, this is the first time I will be meeting them in person as my siblings,"She replied moving from one spot to the next trying

Laura day was going better than she anticipated, her siblings were clowns and it didn't even feel like they didn't grow up together, she learned a lot of things from them and so did they, they talked about growing up and also the challenges they faced growing without a mother, but at the end of the day, she was glad she found them. She learned a lot of things from them in the past few hours, they were the sweetest sets of people in existence, she didn't even feel uncomfortable or whatnot, even the kids like her, two were Susans and the other two were Sophias, she also found out they were both expecting their third baby, making it three expectant mothers around her when Eva is included, also Sean wasn't married yet and he was currently single which means she could still hook him up with Jane, they would make a beautiful couple. She also found out that at one point they had suggested to their dad that he remarry but the dude had said a big no to that, she smiled at the memory."Is Devon

"What did you you just say?"She asked again even though she heard him clearly the first two times, she just didn't want to believe what she was hearing, is that the reason Cleo had wanted to meet him?"I am sorry Laura," He said bowing his head in shame. "I didn't quite get what you said though, you might wanna consider saying it again."She replied wishing for his words to change but yet again he said the exact same words."Cleo is pregnant and the baby is mine," he repeated and Laura felt her world crumble, she knew it, she knew that something was gonna happen to ruin her happiness, she should have seen it coming."When did you find out about this?" She asked through her heavy thoughts."Two weeks ago," he responded"What? Two weeks? And you are just telling me? Is this why you have been shutting me out? I don't understand if she is pregnant for you how come you are just finding out? Why didn't you tell me about it?""I am sorry""Stop saying that, please, I just don't understand,

She didn't, she avoided him as much as she could, she couldn't stand looking at him, she just couldn't, this wasn't how she wanted them to be, she wanted to be selfish and just keep him to herself, never letting him go, but then she was groomed different, she had to let go for him to do the right thing, she looked around the room as she packed her final stuff, getting his signature and processing her leaving had been easy, it was only remaining one week anyway, the hospital had not asked any questions and she was grateful for that, of course, she wasn't resuming work immediately, she had two weeks leave, before she will go back to work and she planned on spending that two weeks getting to know her family, she hadn't told her sibling that she and Devon broke up because she didn't want them to harass him, she would explain in person."So after today will I see you again?"He asked as he walked in, he was getting better and better at it, now he could do without the walking stick but his

"So this is how it's gonna be?" She asked crying, he didn't know what to do with her tears didn't like it when he is the reason someone is crying but he couldn't promise her marriage either not when he knew he didn't love her and when he had some else in his heart if they got married they would both be unhappy, he just didn't know why she isn't seeing it like that, getting married cuz of a child is not it."I don't know what else to say to you Cleo, you just don't get it, I can't marry you, I am in love with someone else,""But you were in love with me once, we almost got married, remember? You can love me again, I am willing to wait until you love me again,"She said in a pleading voice, he sighed in tiredness, he had explained over and over again the reasons that he can't marry her but she seemed to be bent on marrying him."You know what, Cleo, can we give this some time, let's just see how this whole thing plays out, right now I am going through a lot, and getting married is not
