Chapter 7- Moving On?

The song is the song Imagine Damon singing to Carmen. It's from Tyler Perry's play I Can Do Bad By Myself. It's called Let Me Hold You. ENJOY!!!

Still the Night Damon came over

Carmen's POV

After I put the twins and before I go talk to Damon I need to check on Onika because she disappeared after letting Damon in. She didn't even tell me she was going upstairs just went. That's not like her. We generally tell each other our moves. It takes out the guess work. Plus, I need some alone time with her before I got talk to Damon. I need her opinion on whether or not I should tell him the truth about their paternal genes. I hope he hasn't guessed, I mean if you've met Mark then you could easily see Avi is his twin but I'm hoping that Damon has forgotten what he looks like. When I get to Onika's room I knock because that's her personal space. I hear come in and so I turn the nob and she's laying across her bed on her laptop and phone. When she sees me she tells the person on the other line that she would call them back later and quickly disconnected the call.

"What's Up?" she questions me.

"What's up is my best friend ditched our sundae night ritual without a word or reason." I say getting slightly agitated. I hate when she acts like nothing fazes her.

"I had a reason. I just didn't tell it to you."

Onika's POV

I left Carmen with Damon and the kids because I knew they needed time alone. I know Carmen still has feelings for him and I wanted the kids to fill him out with me to buffer. Their opinion means more than mine. Plus, I already know him. That didn't tell Carmen my plan because I knew she would try to persuade me otherwise. She still she needed me all the time like when she was pregnant but that wasn't the case. She barely needed me when she was pregnant. I remember when we found she was pregnant with twins. I thought she was going to breakdown but she did exactly the opposite of that.

***FLASHBACK***

We're at Camren's 7 months scan. We get to find out the sex of the baby. Carmen said she didn't want it to be a surprise so she could start spoiling the baby now. When the nurse called us we went into the room and Carmen put on the gown and got on the bed and laid back. The doctor put the gel on her stomach and started the ultrasound.

"Well Miss Blaque, it looks like you're having a baby girl." The doctor told Carmen.

"Thank y-," Carmen started before the doctor interrupted her.

"What do we have here? It looks like you're actually twins. One baby boy and baby girl. I'll leave you to get dressed. Keep doing what you're doing. Both babies are completely healthy. Stop by my desk on your way out to schedule your next appointment and congratulations again," the doctor said as he left the room.

When he did no one moved. I nor Carmen. I think we both were just shell-shocked. Twins, that's so crazy. And who said you can't get pregnant from a one-night stand. I shook off my shock and went to Carmen's side to comfort her and remind her she wasn't alone but to my surprise she was smiling.

"What are you smiling at?" I inquired because even if I was happily married I would be freaking out if someone told me I was having twins.

"I'm happy. I always wanted twins and I'm getting them. Sure it's not ideal but I'm getting part of my dream. Actually more than part. The only thing missing is a father for my children but that can be over looked because I have you and together we can," she announced with so much confidence. I smiled because even after knowing this girl since birth she never ceases to amaze me.
