Letting go Chapter 9
Christian1 hour later, all the kids are fed and dressed and Katie is now cleaned up and in a new diaper although I think I'll bathe her again when I get her home. Cal turned up with the horses just as the kids were finishing up their food and Brody got on Nemo with him while Jack and Sophie rode Elsa.And now I'm on my way to the school with Katie as Amy still hasn't turned up, not that I want her around any of the kids right now. I know I won't be able to control my mouth, and that's not what the kids need to witness right now including Katie. still, I have called her and messaged her but there's been no answer and the longer time goes on the less surprised I am becoming.I pull up outside the preschool and gently take a sleeping Katie out of the car seat, I lean her across my chest, and as she tucks her head into my neck and rests her arms on my chest my heart tugs. Fuck I love this little girl so much and I'd be lying if I said that there hadn't been moments where I wished she was

Molly"Welcome to Dallas/Fort Worth international airport the local time is 8.30 pm. For the safety of the passengers please remain seated with your seat belts on while the seat belt light remains on. Please take caution when removing any overhead luggage and please make sure to take all of your belongings with you. On behalf of myself and the cabin crew, we wish you a great time here in Texas and we hope to see you soon.""I am so tired!" Tom groans as we stand ready to get off the plane. After almost 16 hours of flying, I'm with the guy, it's been almost 19 since we left the hotel in China and I'm fucked but luckily Tom's home is only 30 minutes from the airport, and boy am I glad for that! "Food, shower, and sleep are all I'm doing as soon as I get home!" He groans again."Tom, are you sure that your parents don't mind me coming with you? I can find somewhere else to stay I don't mind.""I've told you before and I'll tell you again my parents are excited to see you again and more t
Letting go Chapter 11
Christian "Unkle toms back!" Sophie calls out and before I can say a word both she and Brody are already running for the door. "Be careful!" I shout out to them but I doubt either of them is listening. I pick Katie up from the floor and head for the door to see my brother, I've barely seen him over the past 7 years since he joined the army. Even after he left the army he went to live in Florida with Archie and his wife Molly so I didn't see him much even then. Yes, we had the odd visits from him and spoke a few times a week over Facetime and whenever I had the kids but it still hasn't been the same. Sadly Archie died last year in a house fire and so Tom and Molly went on an around-the-world trip that was already planned, don't get me wrong I'm glad that Toms got to live his dreams of going in the army and travelling the world but I'll be glad to have him home I've missed him! Before they left for their trip Tom phoned my parents and told them that he wanted to ask Molly to move h

Molly "Molly wanta play a dollys?" I'm not sure if I'm still sleeping and dreaming or waking up but I swear I can hear the cutest little voice. "Molllly!" The voice gets louder and I open my eyes to see Sophie, Tom's niece sitting on the bed next to me smiling wide. It takes me a moment to remember where I am as I rub the sleep from my eyes and slowly sit up. "Good morning Miss Sophie." I smile, she smiles back and I have to admit she is a cute little thing. I pick my phone up from the bedside table and check the time 5.05 a.m. As usual, I've not slept much, It seems that whenever I'm in a bed alone the nightmares like to hunt me and it's fucking tiring. "Wanna play dollys?" She asks again smiling and as much as I'd like to go back to sleep I seem to find it impossible to say no to her. "Where's your daddy?" I ask. "He sleeping." She jumps off the bed and stands by the door as her Disney princess nightgown falls to her ankles. "I love your nightgown!" I say to her and this insta
Letting go Chapter 13
Christian My 5 am alarm goes off and I quickly dive to turn it off before it wakes the kids. I did have all 3 of them in my bed last night and I was planning on sleeping on the floor next to the bed but then Jack came in on his way to bed and took Brody into his room with him so I slept in the bed with the girls. I switch the alarm off and sit up before looking over at the girls and my heart instantly stops. Where's Sophie? I quickly surround Katie with pillows so she can't roll off the bed and run out of the room to find my little girl however my panic soon turns to curiosity as I hear low giggles coming from downstairs. "Sophie!" I turn toward the stairs and call again "Sophie where are you, baby?" "Wivingroom Daddy!" She calls back and I instantly feel relief. "Sophie what Have I told you about coming down here by you- oh hi Molly!" She's sitting on the floor playing with Sophie and I don't like it. I don't know her and right now I don't trust her. "I wanted a play pwincess wi
Letting go Chapter 14
Molly After this morning's encounter with Christian, I headed back to my room to sleep some more but after massively failing at that I got up showered, and got dressed ready for the day and I've been sitting on my bed reading ever since because I don't want to face him. I wish I knew what his problem with me is. At first, I thought that maybe he knew but I quickly realized that if he did know then there was no way he would stay quiet not with his kids in the house. Noise from outside distracts me and I walk toward the window to see what it is. I catch a glimpse of little Sophie running across the grass and a laugh escapes my mouth as she dives at Christian knocking him to the ground. He picks her up laughing and I watch as they head towards a black land rover, he makes quick work of strapping both her and Brody into the truck before waving to a happy-looking Katie as Jack bounces her up and down in his arms. I look at the time and guess that he's taken them to school and decide to u
Letting go Chapter 15
Molly I've been jogging for a while but it's insanely hot and humid and the fact that I can't concentrate really isn't helping me. I slow down my pace when I see a small river appearing and eventually stop alongside it, take a seat on the ground, and enjoy the cold water that's in my sports bottle. I feel tears prickle at the back of my eyes but I fight to hold them in. These past 48 hours have been insane to go from traveling around the world to arriving in Texas and then meeting Tom's family. I already knew his parents and Jack but as for his other brothers I'd never met Zack, Callum, or Christian before but they all seem lovely except for Christian that is... Well, it's not that he doesn't seem nice it's more that he seems to have a problem with me and I wouldn't mind if I had done something to him but it seems like he disliked me before I even got here. I know he's got a lot going on right now. Tom told me all about his ex-wife and what happened with the kids and honestly, I t
Letting go Chapter 16
Christian "Hey, Tom what time will you be finished here?" I'm in the horse stables putting new shoes on Nemo while Tom washes down Elsa when Molly's voice distracts me as she walks towards us and I'd be lying if I said that my heart doesn't speed up when I first see her. She's wearing a knee-length white dress, she curled her hair and left it hanging loose down her back while she's got sunglasses on top of her head keeping her hair out of her face. The one thing that stands out to me the most is the fact that she's not wearing any makeup, it's a rare thing to see in this town but I honestly love it and I hate the fact that I find her so fucking beautiful. "I won't be long baby girl, why what's up?" "I need to pop into town for a new laptop and some stuff, was wondering if you wanted to come?" As quickly as I found her attractive it fips back when I hear her speak those words. I wonder whose money she'll be spending because she lived off of Archie's money before he died and I have
