chapter 11

Elijah

I have to go back to New York today because I have something to take care of at my company. I don't want to go back yet because I still don't get Alexa in my arm yet. I want her and I know this time I'll never humiliating her again just like I did before. I love her so much and I know I'm stupid cause I cheated on her. I feel so stupid when I think of that. I didn't know what I was thinking about that time when I asked her to get out of the house and signed the divorced paper.

Right now, I'm in the private jet right now. Well, at least I can spend my time with her and my children yesterday. Even though it's only for a few minutes. I got to spend my time with Gabriel and Gabriella was the best feeling ever and I never felt that way before. I just need to persuade Alexa and then I can play with my kids and be with her as long as want it. I want that to happen.

I have about one hour more to land in New York. So I decided to do my works that have been delayed.

*****

I went straight to my company after I landed to finish some unfinished work that I left. I do my work for I don't know how long cause now I feel so tired. My body feels so hurt maybe because I've been sitting for more than hours. Just then, my phone ring and I pick it up and look who is calling me. It's my mom. I immediately pick it up.

"Hey, mom. Why are you calling me?" I ask her as soon as I pick it up. She never calls me if there's nothing she wants from me.

"Why I can't call my son now? Do I have to make an appointment to call my own son?" She questions me.

"No, no mom it's just I'm just curious why are you calling me because every time you call me, you always wants me to do you something," I reply.

"Well, I want you to come home and have dinner with us because it's been like a month since you come home." She said and yes it's been a month I go home meet my family and of course, I miss them. Who doesn't miss their family though? I think I should tell my parents about the existent of Gabriel and Gabriella.

"Yeah mom, I will go home tonight. But now let me finish my work first." I said.

"Don't get a too tired son, it's not good for you."

"Yeah, mom I know. Bye talk later."

"Okay bye." With that, she hangs up and I put my phone beside my paperwork. I continue to do my work and when I feel like my job is nearly done, I close the file and arranged all the paperwork and get ready to go home, I mean my family's house.

I take my blazer and my phone then walk out of my office and walk towards the lift. It's 7:10 pm and all the employees are already going home.

Once I get to the lobby, I walk out and the security greets me. I just give him a nodded and then walk to my car.

*****

It takes about 15 minutes to arrive at my family's house. I press the bell and then I hear footsteps coming. I wait for a few seconds before the door open and show my beautiful mother, Emma Perkins. "Elijah, oh god I miss you so much." She pulls me for a hug and I hug her back.

"I miss you too mom. Let's go in cause I want to meet my siblings and also my dad." I said and she holds my hand like a five years old kid and brings me in.

When I get to the living room, I see my dad is talking to my younger brother and sister. "Ehem." I clear my throat and their attention turn to me. I see my dad's face look happy when he sees me along with my younger brother and sister. They're not so young, they already have grown up as a teenager.

Meet my brother, Conner Perkins, he's 18 and got light brown hair with grey eyes and for my sister, Brianna Perkins, she's 13. She is my baby sister that I love so much and she got brunette same as my mom. When comes to Brianna, I become so protective because she's the only sister that I got but for Conner, it's a different case. Since he is a guy, I didn't feel worried about him much like I do for my sister.

They just run to me and hug me and when I mean huge, it's not like an ordinary hug it's bone crusher hug. That's a good thing that it's only for a few seconds if not I might unconscious because I can't breathe. They love to hug me like that and I don't like that.

"We miss you, big bro," Connor said and I shuffle his hair. "Hey! That's not cool dude!" He pissed cause I know he doesn't like people to play with his hair and I heard Brianna laugh. I miss them so much that's a good thing to be back today.

"Kids, dinner is ready." My mom shout from the kitchen and Conner and Brianna run to the dining room. I shake my head looking at their behavior. Suddenly, my mind remembered about Gabriel and Gabriella, my children. I wish we can be one family soon. When I was zoned out, I feel someone put their hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see my dad, Vincent Perkins.

"I thought you don't want to be back here again." He said.

"Dad, I love my family here. Besides, it's only one month I'm not coming here." I reply. Suddenly he hugs me and I know he misses me too but he always acts cool. After a few seconds, we release from the hug.

"How's Alexa? Did you talk to her yet?" He asks. My parents know about what happened between me and Alexa three years ago. My mom didn't want to talk to me for a few months and also with my dad. I can't step my foot into this house for a few months and that's was the biggest nightmare I've ever had in my life. They just love Alexa like their own daughter and felt so mad at me when I decided to divorce her. I didn't tell them the reason why I got a divorce and I think that should be a secret between me and Alexa also the people who involved. I don't want both of my parents to throw me away again. When I said I want to get Alexa back, they sequel in happiness. Only my mom show that she's happy but my dad just acts cool and I know he loves the idea too.

"Well, things hard than I imagine. I have to work harder and maybe next week I'll go to LA again." He nodded and before my dad could open his mouth to reply to me, my mom comes in.

"Both of you want to eat dinner or not? because me, Brianna and Conner are so hungry now waiting for you guys. Let's go." I smile then walk to the dining room. Looking at Brianna face like she's pissed now. I sit next to Conner and then we start to eat our dinner.

*****

After eating our delicious dinner, currently, we're in the living room and talking about random things. We just talking and laughing until Brianna said something that makes all of us look at her. "Big bro, when I can have my niece and nephew?" She asks me with her innocence face. I fall silent and look at everyone in this room and clear my throat before talking.

"Well maybe soon. I can't even tell you the exact time because I'm still trying too." I reply and I think that's the right answer for now. They know about my divorce but I don't know why Brianna ask me that kind of question. I didn't even tell my parents about Gabriel and Gabriella. Gosh, this girl.

"Brianna, Conner, go to your room now. We want to talk to your brother alone." My mom said and they just obey it and walk upstairs. After both of them are gone, both of my parents looking at me. "What?" I ask blankly.

"Since Brianna bring out about your children topic, I want to ask you. Did Alexa already pregnant before you guys got divorced?" My mom asks me with her serious face.

"I didn't know that she's pregnant that time," I reply feeling so guilty towards them.

"So that's mean it is true? That you already have a child now?" My dad questions me.

"Yeah, I already have children. Alexa pregnant with twins and their name are Gabriel and Gabriella. I just knew it not even a month.." I said and they nodded their heads.

"Oh my god, I am a grandma and you a grandpa, honey. I can't believe this. wy did you keep this thing from us?" My mom said.

"I told you I just met them like a few weeks, not even a month. It's not I don't want to tell you but I am scared. I promise you I will bring them here soon." I said and smiled weakly. Thinking about bringing three of them to meet my parents is not an easy thing especially when Alexa hate me now.

"Mom, dad, I'm tired cause I just arrived here this afternoon and I think I need to have a rest now. I'm going upstairs first then. Goodnight." I dismissed myself and that's a good thing that none of them try to stop me from going out to my room. To be honest I just don't want to give them false hope about meeting their grandchildren cause I don't know if Alexa ever is able to forgive me or not. Let's just hope for the best.
