J came running back down the stairs
"Everything is gone"

We heard a door close, Conrad looked furious as always. This isn't gonna be good. "what the fuck Julia"

I walked away from Conrad side and gave Ella to cam, so she wouldn't wake up, he gave me a sad smile, Conrads yelling was getting louder the more they talked so I went back to Conrad side

"you had no right to touch anything in this house, these where her things"

"Connie breathe okay" I tried to help but he was still so angry

"everything is in storage, I made sure that everyone was very careful with every single thing i'm just doing what I have to do"

I knew he needed to get this out, so I let him yell. I walked back to Cam, gave him a node and grab Ella as I watch the fight unfold. "you know it sucks that our grandfather love her more than you, but I'm not surprised" the harshness in his Tone made Ella start crying. with that he walked out. J tried to stop him, but he just shook him off and kept walking.

"great thanks for that" I told Julia as I tried to rock Ella as I followed Conrad out of the house "con come on" I said trying to catch up to him but he didn't listen and just picked up his phone to call his dad

"of course Dad did nothing to stop her"

"Connie, what can he do" j tried to reason with him

"jere he doesn't care about us" Connie yelled  i had finally settled Ella down, but then she started crying even louder again. I walked away a bit from the fighting, rocking her to try and get her to sleep, but it doesn't working. Conrad was too mad to noticed he was scaring his daughter

"And this asshole want even pick up my calls" Then Skye came out the front door as Connie turned around. they probably should've stayed inside of the house, if I'm being honest.

"Did you know about this" He walked up to them J trying to stop him but Conrad was on a rampage.
"i'm serious I'm serious. Did you know about this"

"I didn't know anything I swear I would've told you"

"would you have really because we haven't seen each other in 10 years what a day at the boardwalk would have been enough to make you betray your mum"

"Listen, I know we don't know each other very well but I wouldn't have sideswiped you like that"

"Connie come on what are we gonna do"

"i didn't know" Conrad yelled

Ella was still crying, pretty much screaming at this point. When Conrad turned around, he realised that he had scared her. He didn't mean to.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry" he repeated as he walked over to me and picked Ella up, rlocking her back to sleep, she went quiet instantly. she is such a daddy's girl.

"I didn't mean to scare you princess"

"Hey" I said touching his cheek "it's okay she's ok " I could tell he felt guilty about the yelling, forgetting that his daughter was right there

I offered to take her but he didn't want to let her go. We walked back to everyone. They had all decided that J knew somewhere we could sleep.

I guess J's idea of the perfect place to sleep was at the country club. When we got out of the car Conrad still had Ella in her car seat carrying it by the handle he hadn't left her side.

"huh you kept that" Steven asked J as he was trying to use his key card to get in the door

"Perks of not cleaning out your Wallet"

"what if there's someone in there"

"It's been closed for like hours and there's never any night guards, were good" his key card wasn't working so Cam Cameron offered to get us in with his  Mum's code.

When we finally got in the door, we all decided to split up. I went with Connie. when everyone left, it was just me and Con in living room

"I'm sorry about earlier" he said with a guilty look on his face

"It's okay she's okay" i told him looking down at her fast asleep

"I know, but I scared her I just want her to have the same experience we did in that house. I want  her to have those memories like we did"

"i know connie and she will. also She's a baby she cries at everything. come on, let's go look around" I said grabbing him by the arm to pull him along, Ella still in her car seat in his other hand, fast asleep.

we all ended up in the small theatre
I was lying down on the couch with my feet on Conrad  Ella, fast asleep on my chest.

she grabbed my hand in her sleep and wrapped her tiny hand around my thumb. I know every Mum says this, but I have the cutest baby. I looked up and saw Conrad, smiling at me. i smiled back, turning back to watch the movie.

we decided to go outside
The boys were messing around on the golf cart with the girls and skye walking behind them.

belly and Taylor were talking about Steven. It was obvious they both had a thing for each other everyone but then noticed. Skye offered to hold the car seat because I still have her in my arms

"Isn't it funny to anyone else, that our groups like ancestral" Everyone looked at me, then we all burst out laughing

"what it's true, think about it"

everyone paused for a second "I mean when you guys have kids our entire friend group will be related" I laughed at the end of the realisation, everyone else followed. we all decided to sleep on the golf course

everyone is laughing in a circle. Well, I lay on the grass with ella on my chest with a sleeping bags under my head for a pillow.

I got up and decided to go join the others. I sat down next to Conrad and passed Ella over to him. I rested my chin on his shoulder to look at her.

"Connie"

"Lottie" he responded

"I want another one" The look on Connie's face was priceless. Everyone started losing it. i laughed at his reaction " v I think you broke Conrad"

"ella is like a seven weeks old" belly laughed

"What she's so cute look at that face"

"not right now" Conrad smiled at me.

"So there's a possibility then" making everyone fall into a fit of laughter, but I just gave Conrad a cheeky smile


when we got home in the morning, Julia walked out the door with that other lady from before "Wow look who it is" J said walking up to them

"hi"

"it's okay i'll handle it Thank you very much. I'll be in touch" she walked away

"oh, I wish you boys had gone home when I ask you to"

"we are not going to abandon our house Julia"

"It's not your house, Conrad and umm it won't be mine for much longer, either"

"Julia  please we have an idea, okay"

"A buyer has made an offer on the house and I have officially excepted it. I have to go to Boston to finalise the details but umm it's done the house is sold"

Will stood there in shock, looking at each other, it only hit us in this moment that we had lost the house
