"B..Becca?" Alex spoke, shock written on his face
I felt my heart clench, it's been a while since I've heard this name from him
"Ma, do you know this guy? He's really kind, he donated most of the money for our play!" Eve said with a smile
My vision blurred as I looked at my baby standing beside her dad, both of them looking the same, same hair, same face features
"Evelyn baby come here" Katie called from the back, holding her arm and talking her to where they were standing
"how are you Becca? how have you been?" Alex said
"good" I said but it was barley audible
"We can go" Nate whispered taking a strip close to me
"Is She you daughter?" He asked looking at Evelyn, i sucked in a deep breath before nodding slowly
"Eve looks like him" Sophie said loudly as I felt a sharp pain through my chest
"Sophie!" Katie and Nate said
"I need to go" I said quickly as I turned but a hand stopped me
"Something here is not right" Alex said looking at me, then the people behind me
"Take your hands off her, Becca, let's go" Nate said motioning to Katie to take the kids
he let go of my hand before nate pulled me out.
as soon as I walked outside the school
I took a deep breath Before tears filled my eyes
what is he doing here after this all years?
"you're okay, you're okay B" Nate said hugging me tightly
"Baby, nothing happened, you're alright, Eve is alright, don't cry" Katie said as both of them hugged me together
"Mommy, are you okay? What happened" Eve asked
"Is auntie B okay?" Sophie asked
"your momma is okay babygirl, she is" Katie said kneeling beside her
"Ma?" She looked at me unsure if she could believe Katie
I wiped my eyes and smiled at her "I'm okay love, I'm always okay, as long as you're beside me" I said pulling her up to my chest as she wrapped her arms around my neck
"would you like to stay with us?" Nate asked cupping my cheek
"Just drop me to the house, you guys go celebrate with Sophie" I said "she won, she deserves a celebration"
"Eve deserves it too. And No, we either stay with you, or you stay with us, we won't listen to you, you are coming to ours" Nate said as he put an arm around me and we all went to his car
"sit in the front" Katie said but I shook my head, I sucked in a breathe before giving her a weak smile
"I will sit with the girls" i felt that I needed to be close to Evelyn. I needed to hold her
I sat in the back seat sitting between the 2 girls,
"are you okay auntie B?" Sophie asked as she looked up to me
Nate loosened his grip around me before moving and cupping my cheeks
"Becca Anderson, I want you to hear me clearly, nothing is going to happen to Eve, she will stay with you no matter what, she is your baby, you took care of her, he can't take her, you won't let that happen and I promise you I won't let that happen, look remember how scared you were whenever I got angry at highschool? And thats the only time you would take me seriously? Now please take me seriously Because I promise you becs, as long as I'm alive nothing, and I mean it! Nothing! Will happen to my family, and including you and eve, nothing, you hear me?" Nate said
"Do you hear me Becca?" Nate said as I nodded
"Now stop crying! Just stop! don't do this to yourself, you are strong enough becs, you just have to take care of Eve and that's all, I'll take care of the rest alright?" He asked as I nodded
"now get some rest, I swear B, if I heard you cry, You'll regret it becs" Nate said pointing a finger at me while hiding a laugh, I looked at Katie before the 3 of us burst out laughing
"yup that's my best friend everyone" Katie said shaking her head
"now go get some sleep" nate said
"What do you mean? you go up to your room" I said
"You're an idiot becs" Katie said
"You both are going to my room, sleeping together, because already Katie wants to sleep with you and it won't fit you both there so you two sleep up and I'll take the couch" he said
"Katie babe, I'm alright, go sleep with your husband" I said holding her hands
"I've been sleeping with him for the past 6 years Becs!, let's go" Katie said pulling me up with her
After saying goodnight to Nate, both of us went to their room and layed on the bed,
"you know that everything will be alright right?"
"I hope so K, I really hope so" I said before she pulled me to a hug
"We're here for you"
