Chapter 26

Mia POV
 
My eyes were fixed on that of my little baby boy, and we both looked at each other as if a contest or TV program were being displayed.
 
No words from either of us, but the distraction came in from the sitting room door, but I just didn't bother to check it up.
 
"It seems you both are busy." Ethan walked out with his questions. 
 
"Hello," Alexander said, quinking his eyes, which gave me the whole victory.
 
I won," I  llaughed carrying up the little boy, who gave a frown.
 
As I looked towards the door area, the female figure walked in with a smirk at me, making Alexander leave me and run up to the lady.
 
"Amanda," he hugged her.
 
"Hello, little one," she smiled and squatted to carry the baby.
 
"What are you doing here?" I questioned her, wearing a quick frown and just looking at her face.
 
"I just came around to my big sister house," she smiled to me as she came closer to me while I adjusted back.
 
"Who is your big sister?" I asked as I dragged my baby out of her hands.
 
"Mia, let the past be and focus on the present," I chuckled.
 
"You are a funny person." Ethan just looked at me and my dramatic sister.
 
"For real, you have beef with everyone in your family?" 
 
"It's my life and not yours, Ethan." My words turned agreeable at that point as I looked at Ethan.
 
"Don't you take my recent weakness to heart. I am doing what I am doing now for a reason," I screeched out to him.
 
"And you, Amanda?" I turned to her.
 
"What is your main reason here?" My words flowed with anger.
 
 
Amanda's face looked taken aback by my outburst of words, but she quickly composed herself so I wouldn't find out. 
 
"Mia, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye or talked, but I came here to make amends and fix the wrong things. I want us to move past our differences and be sisters again like we have always been." Amanda smiled, saying her words.
 
I raised an eyebrow, skeptical with anger.
 
"And what makes you think I want to move past our differences? You've done nothing but betray me and hurt me time and time again, which hurts me badly." I sighed.
 
Amanda took a step closer, her eyes pleading and her body language being honest with me. 
 
"I know I've made mistakes earlier, Mia. But I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it right, like before. I want us to be a family again and enjoy our good time."
 
I snorted and grinned.
 
"You want us to be a family once again? You want me to just forget about everything you've done and welcome you back with open arms and no anger? It doesn't work that way, Amanda. You should try another way."
 
Amanda's face fell, but she didn't give up with her pleading and words. 
 
"I know I can't undo the mistake or the past, but I want to work towards a better future. For us, for our family, Please, Mia, just listen to me and give me a chance."
 
I sighed, feeling a small weight of guilt deep within.
 
But I immediately pushed it aside, reminding myself of all the pain Amanda had already caused me—all the public disgrace.
 
"There's nothing to listen to, Amanda." My eyes were filled with anger.
 
"You've had your chance to make things right before, and you blew it away."
 
Amanda's eyes welled up with tears, and she took another step closer to me. Her face needed pity, but I can't offer that to her.
 
"Mia, please. I'm begging you this time. Don't shut me out, but accept me. Let me prove to you that I've changed and become a new person." I smiled at her words, and I felt a huge lie within.
 
Just then, I felt a small crack in my armor, but I quickly reinforced it.
 
"You've had your chances, Amanda. And you blew it away." I still said those words.
 
Just then, Ethan spoke up quickly after much silence. 
 
"Mia, maybe you should hear her out this time. Whatever happened between you two, it's clear that Amanda is trying to make amends and fix bad things." Ethan spoke slowly, as if he were scared to tell me his words.
 
I turned to him, my eyes flashing with anger and pain. 
 
"Stay out of this, Ethan. This is between me and my sister, not between us both."
 
Amanda took another step closer, her eyes piecering into mine.
 
"Please, Mia. Just listen to me this time. For our family's sake and your child's sake."
 
I looked at her, giving a lot of thoughts at that point, still looking at Amanda, who showed a lot of pity. 
 
I glanced at her with a frown at that point, and I was thinking a lot about myself at that stage.
 
"So, what do you want me to do now?" I asked with a free face.
 
"Forgive me and take me in," she pleaded.
 
"Okay," I smiled.
 
"Come here," I commanded her as she gave me a tight hug.
 
It happened to be really strange for me to accept the girl who accepted me to be sold out, back into my life and not only my life but in my house.
 
"Thank you, sis," she said with excitement as my mom walked down with a smile.
 
"Good morning, mother!" Amanda said as Sony as my mom walked closer to us both.
 
"I think this calls for celebration." Ethan's face got filled with excitement, which made him joyful.
 
I handed my child over to my sister, who always gave me a smirk.
 
Soon, drinks were available, followed by music and cake.
 
It happened to be a small celebration until I saw Sarah walk in. I just didn't give her any attention and just enjoyed my day with my family.
 
I just enjoyed my day with excitement for myself and my family.
