Chapter 12

Leah's POV

This is the second week I have crossed the street to have tea with Cade's mom while she sleep. I've been worried about her since she has failed to contact me in a few days. Her mother has confirmed that she has been having more headaches than usual, constant vomiting, and waking up in the middle of the night because the pain is so much. When I called yesterday to ask how Cade was doing, she answered the phone, surprisingly. I asked if it was okay with I came over again, of course she agreed, but she also asked if I could bring Gigi. I told her if she stayed up and was social for an hour or so I would bring her. She stayed true to her word and is now laying with her feet on my lap watching the twins kick the dogs paws of my stomach.

"So, Leah, how has everything been? You look like you are about ready to pop." Cade's mother, Andrea, asks. I smile and rub over they two of them.

"I've been good. Due date is just around the corner. I think Reality is finally setting in with Harry." I laugh and she joins in too. Cade attempts to laugh but ends up groaning from the pain and stops.

"I remember being pregnant with this one." Andrea smiles while pointing to Cade who shy's away from the attention. "It was a hard one, worst than my first, but she turned out alright." Andrea flashed me a small smile, but something else was hidden behind it. Was everything alright?

"Hopefully your babies don't have any difficulties." She smiles and takes a sip of tea. I nod, agreeing with her, but I remember the possibility the doctors told us about.

"Do you know what they are yet?" She asks. I bite my lip and shake my head.

"I have a feeling..I don't know...that they both might be boys?" I say more as a question than answer. "Harry's mom and sister know, and they act like they are both the same. They both have pretty strong kicks so...I don't know." I conclude when I realize I'm rambling. "That's just my theory." Andrea nods and smiles.

She gets up to get a blanket and walks over to me. I look at Cade, who is now asleep. I didn't even realize. Gigi is snuggled up in her side as Andrea places a blanket over the two of them and I smile. I really hope I don't have two boys, I really want a daughter.

There was a couple minutes of silence before Andrea spoke up again.

"I know I've already told you this, but I'm glad Cade has you in her life. Her older sister is almost never home, neither is her dad. I know she has told you some stuff about him." Yeah, all negative. "So, with all the in-home problems going on and her-"

"Hi, Mrs. Wyatt." a male voice interrupts. I turn to the stairs where a tall, muscular, bald man stood. He couldn't be older than thirty. I know this guy, how can anyone not. I hope he doesn't know me.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't know you had guest." He apologizes. He walks over to us and looks down at me.

"It's okay Max." Andrea brushes the intrusion off.

"Hi," he extends his hand to me. "I'm Max, Max George." I shake his hand and flash a polite smile.

"Leah,just Leah."

"Well it's nice to meet you, Leah. Well, I better be off." He grabs a black leather jacket off one of the chairs and heads towards the door. "It was nice seeing you again Mrs. Wyatt." With one last wave of his hand he is out the door.

I can't wait to tell Louis who I ran into. He's gonna get a kick out of it.

"Sorry, about that." Andrea says. She must have felt the tension too. "That's my daughter's new-"

"Mom!" A voice yells from up stairs. I hear we both look in that direction as feet start to descend.

"That's her now." Andrea chuckles and I join in. Just then the door handle to the front door starts to raddle. Now, Andrea sighs. "And that's my husband."

I'm not sure where to look first. My head and muscles work together before my brain can catch up, and I look towards the stairs and feet hit the wooden floor and Andrea's daughter comes in to view.

My eyes pop out of their head.

Shit.

"Honey, you didn't tell me we had guest." At the voice of the man. I spun around and my jaw drops.

Double shit.

Cade and...they're...sisters? And...he is...her dad?

"Sorry. Leah this is my husband Brad, and my daughter Clair."

Brad's face showcases an evil smirk as I turn from him to Clair. Once she gets a good look at me and my belly a smirk makes it's way to her face too.

"Leah Styles?" Venom drips off her last word. I hold down any stomach contents threatening to spill. Actually, I wouldn't mind showing them my luch all over their nice white carpet under my feet. I'm sure the boys and I would be I'm a lot more trouble than we already are.

I slowly remove Cade's feet from my lap and retrieve my dog from her side.

"I have to get going." With out another word I show my self out the door and hurry as fast as I can back to my own house.

When I walk in, I hear Louis and Harry playing on the game station. I accidently slam the door shut as I let Gigi roam free, and I hear a remote drop. Most likely Harry's.

"Leah?" My lovely husband rounds the corner and quickly starts inspecting my body for any injuries. "Are you okay?" I look him in the eye, then behind him as Louis appears.

"Hey, I ran into Max George today." I spit out before looking back to Harry.

"Did you know Brad lives across the street?" I blurt out. His eyes nearly fly out of their sockets.

"What!" His eyes leave my face for a split second as he connects the dots. "That means that-"

"Clair does too." I finish.

"So does-"

"Cade." Louis is the one to interupt Harry this time. He looks just as shocked.

"Yeah." I pause to catch catch a breath and the twins kick me as if to say their own opinion.

"Brad is Cade's dad and Clair is Cade's sister."
