Chapter Eleven: Getting Worse

Draxel's POV:
It's been a week since me and Zilya gave the twins names. But the blood isn't working anymore, Zilya's not getting any better.

The twins are still growing, and Zilya's body isn't coping well. She had a few good days but then it started going downhill. She even started to cough up the blood.

"Hey bro, how's the little bird doing?"

Michael and James come to see Zilya everyday. She isn't always awake when they came but I know she loves the company.

They keep an eye on her when I have to feed or have a shower but I'm mostly with her everyday. I don't talk to Ashley very often anymore, I just don't want to talk to anyone very much.

"She's.. she's asleep. She's not doing very well today, she's got a fever but she's not too bad."

They both sat at the foot of the bed, like they always do they are so protective over her. They have never asked about the twins through, not once but I bet they think I'll go all defensive.

"Do you want to hear the twins?"

They both looked at me as if to say can we really. I just nodded my head to tell them it was okay.

"Here you can feel them move from here."

I guided their hands to the centre of Zilya's bump were the twins often kick, they still only kick her gently even know.

"Wow, Drax. This is amazing, I guess you already know how this feels James. They are so special and they don't even know it yet, do they have names yet or are you gonna wait like James."

I'm glad to see them getting along even if it doesn't last for very long.

"I don't remember mine being so gentle with Sierra and as for the names we told you Sierra couldn't decide."

For once they didn't argue they just smiled at each other and chuckled.

"It's good to see you guys getting along even if it doesn't last I'm still glad that you've put your argument to one side I appreciate it."

I whispered looking down at Zilya. She took this family that was close to falling apart and made us whole again even if it doesn't last at least I know that I can get them to get along.

"You need us and that's more important right now. So what are you going to call them?"

I gave them both a small smile before looking back at Zilya.

"We recently said about having Xavier for the eldest and Zayn for the youngest."

They smiled at me and I looked down at Zilya, she'll be a great mom I can see it but me. I'll be a hopeless dad, I don't think I could raise them without Zilya.

"You know she's not going to die on you right."

I just gave Michael a sad smile, the way she's going it doesn't seem like she will. I could lose her.

'Don't say it like that! Don't even think it Drax! She will make it, all three of them will and we'll go on walks and...and we'll play games together, we'll be a family.'

I...I'm sorry Arrow okay I'm just not coping well with all this.

"Draxel, you need to go and feed. We'll watch them okay, just go and get something before you start to feel sick yourself."

I just sighed and kissed Zilya's forehead. I really don't want to leave her alone but I am really thirst. I'm so conflicted, I have a bad feeling something will happen if I leave but I won't be able to help her if I'm hungry.

"Alright, I'll be back as fast as I can."

I kissed Zilya one more time before running off to the kitchen, but of course I wasn't alone.

"Hey Axe how's the baby mama."

I roll my eyes at Ava's comments as I slide past her to get a blood bag out of the fridge. I'm really not in the mood today.

"I'm not in the mood Avy so please just leave me be."

I breathed, emptying the bag into my glass. I have gain controlled again, I don't know what was wrong with me but I'm fine now.

"Okay Mr grumpy I was just asking, you know we all want to help."

I roll my eyes as I finished my drink before walking away. When I said I wasn't in the mood I meant it and I don't want to do something I'll regret, especially as she called me grumpy.

I walk back to find James and Micheal gone and Seb sitting by Zilya.

"Hey bro, James had to go and feed the kids and Michael went to feed so they asked me to watch Zilya."

I took a deep breath and nodded to say that it was okay; I know they all have their own lifes, their own problems but I couldn't help but feel worried.

"It's fine Seb. How are you bro we haven't talked in awhile and I know that is mostly my fault."

'We were all so close Draxel. We were all inseparable.'

"Hey it's okay Axe, we all know you have a lot on your mind bro. I'm alright, you know we are all worried about you and the baby mama."

I slide back into bed beside Zilya and she snuggled up to my chest.

"I know you all are, but it doesn't excuse my behaviour Seb. I shouldn't push you guys away, I know you all just want to help. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I'm so weak, I can't protect her, I can't protect my family."

I felt tears roll down my face as I stared down at Zilya. I'm such a failure, a great disappointment to everyone.

"Your not weak bro and you have nothing to be sorry about. I love you Axe, we all do. Zilya is the luckiest girl in the world and the twins are the luckiest kids in the world to have you."

Seb hugged my shoulders and wiped my eyes before smiling at me.

"Thanks Seb, you can go to bed bro you look shattered. I'm here now and Seb thanks again I mean it bro I appreciate it."
