My Mate's Babies.

Chapter Twenty-Four

"No, Mom, you will be here . . .and you'll stay with me until we're both grey and wrinkle," I cried onto her shoulder, gripping her hard.

"I-I can't do it anymore. It's h-hurts, and there's j-just one thing I-I want to see before I d-die and if that happens, I-I go a happy p-person."

"I forgive him Mom, I forgive him, just please stay with us," tears continued spilling out of my eyes.

"He's the only brother you have Soph and y-you don't k-know how much he r-regrets treating you the way h-he did. Every time he c-come h-here he cries about h-how he h-hates himself for treating you this badly," she stuttered, making me cry even harder.

"I know Mom, I forgive him with my heart," I sobbed.

"G-good because I-I want all of y-you together to look after each other l-like a proper f-family s-should after I'm g-gone."

"No Mom, you're going to be perfectly fine and you're going to be playing hide and seek with the twins! I can't lose you when I just got you back!" I shouted a little angrily.

"I may not be h-here honey, b-but my m-memories will, and I will always w-watch you from up t-there," she pointed up the sky weakly for a couple of seconds before resting her hands back on her bed again.

For the rest of the night, Ryan, Mom and Dad, the twins and I spent the time like any other family would. We had a family games night where I totally whooped Ryan's ass at Snakes and Ladders and we ended up on the floor wrestling each other.

It felt amazing having proper family time with my family after years- more than a decade in fact. I realised then how much I missed out on without a proper family, and yet, I still had the chance now. I had forgiven Ryan after he told how sorry he was and how he regretted every single thing he had done to me. And me, not being able to say 'no' to him I finally accepted him apology and forgave him because what's the point of holding grudges. It was better for me if I just forgave him and carried on with my life- but with new additions to my family.

Everyone decided to camp in mom and dad's bedroom, so Ryan, dad and I were sleeping in sleeping bags on the floor while the twins and mom were sleeping on the bed.

This night had been one of the best nights of my life, and honestly, I loved it. I laughed to the brink of crying where I just sat there clapping my hands like a retarded seal. And to make it even worse, Ryan-that little doof, even though I'm younger and smaller than him- recorded it and posted it on YouTube. But I did get nice comments where people were saying how fun my family look or how great family is and within an hour, I had more than a million views already.

We were all so happy, including Mom until we heard that continuous beep, which woke us up from our sleep, being werewolf's and everything. I got to Mom as quickly as I could and I could feel a massive part of my heart being broken as I saw that straight line running in the ECG machine. I could tell Dad was in tears as well as Ryan. The twins looked heartbroken, however, they didn't quite understand what was going on.

What I did notice though was that faint smile on Mom's lips as her eyes remained shut tightly.

The pack had been informed and everyone was here comforting us. Maybe pack members were shocked to see that I was back, however, they didn't say anything but simply offered me a few kind words. I was happily surprised that they were being kind to me and not sending me dirty looks because I had ran away from the pack years ago.

What really made me smile though was when a teenage boy fainted when he saw me. Apparently he was a huge fan, so he was extremely shocked to see me. The pack were even more surprised though when they found out I had kids who were nearly five years old- let alone twins. But the twins had warmed to everyone pretty quickly and were even playing with a few kids around their age or a little older in the back garden.

The funeral was tomorrow- since most wolves were buried the next day after their . . .death. I still couldn't believe that she wasn't here anymore. It was so hard to because only a few hours ago we were playing board games and she was teasing Ryan for getting his ass whooped by me. She seemed so happy, and yet now she wasn't even here with us anymore.

A few tears dropped from my eyes and I was surprised that tears were still able to come out from my eyes since I had been crying for hours straight. My head felt like someone was pounding on it with a hammer while my nose was runny. My throat felt dry and I'm sure the make-up I had put on an hour ago was all over my face.

Ryan was still hugging me as tightly as he could, but I could tell he was silently sobbing as well. Well why wouldn't he? After all he had just lost his Mother.

Oh, Mommy, where are you? Please come back. . .

I was up bright and early this morning, not because I was happy or excited, but because I couldn't sleep at all. My eyes were red and swollen and puffy and I looked like a wreck right now. But I couldn't care less.

Right now, I was sat in the church while Dad gave his speech about Mom. I was biting my lip hard enough to draw blood so that I wouldn't start sobbing in front of everyone loudly. Ryan was silently watching with nothing but sadness in his eyes. I chose not to give a speech because I knew I would start crying and wouldn't be able to finish the speech. I would be too emotional and this day wasn't about how sad I was, it was to cherish the days Mom had spent with us.

After the ceremony and burial had finished, I stayed back next to the headstone of Mom. On it read a beautiful message:

"If roses grow in Heaven
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my mother's arms
And tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her
And when she turns to smile
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for awhile..."

Both Ryan and I had written it together, so it was very personal and meaningful to our hearts and Mom's as well if she could see it.

"Hey Mom . . .I know you've only been gone for a few hours but I miss you already and I regret not spending everyday of the last four years with you. I love you Mom . . .I love you a lot and kills me that you're not here with me today. I know I must be looking like an idiot talking to the air, but I hope you can hear me and know that I love you more than anything," I whispered as a few tears dropped onto my lap.

I was startled when I felt arms wrap themselves around me. The familiar sparks started flying and I felt warm and at home in the person's embrace.

"Sorry I wasn't here with you baby," Chase whispered, placing a kiss on my cheeks from behind me.

I turned around and hugged him tightly, crying my eyes out into his warm chest while he rubbed my back and whispered soothing words to me.

And just like that, he made me feel so much better.

Heyy,
I updated in a week! Yaay me! I feel kinda proud but a little sad because the story is nearing its end . . .maybe more than a few chapters away but it's getting there which makes me even more determined to finish it as soon as possible.

Half-term is coming up on Thursday which means that I will be able to write more chapters and maybe even start editing the whole thing.

I know this chapter is short and maybe not as detailed as I wanted it but when I finish the story, I'll probably add more details and more emotions and whatnot.

Guess what? I had a Chemistry mock today which was going to determine whether I did the higher tier or the foundation tier and I spent the whole of yesterday and today revising things that I was confident was definitely going to be on there, but then when I did the test, there was no questions at all on what I had revised on and remembered. And the things that I didn't revise had four whole pages on it! I was sooooo pissed off at myself. Like GRRRRRRRR!

Anyways, sorry about the short chapter, long message and rant and any mistakes. And thank you for all the votes in the last chapter.

Until then,
Love you guys,
