Love Never Dies 2

Chapter 3

"Sarah listen to me first..." Andrew said kind of begging.

"Why the fuck should I listen? Why did I ever trust you again. You are doing the same as all your other marriages. You sleep with another woman then marry her." Sarah was by this point sobbing. "You are just going to do the same this time."

"Sarah she died 2 hours ago of cancer. Her dying wish was to sleep with me one last time." Sarah was still sobbing so Andrew cuddle her. Sarah fought against his arms and hit his chest a few times. When she gave up she just sobbed into his chest. "Im sorry I hurt you. You don't deserve me. I will leave." He let go of Sarah, grabbed his keys and started walking out the door. Before he could get all the way there he felt a hand grab his. He turned around and looked at Sarah.

"Dont. If you leave now you will lose me. The twins need their father around all the time. This baby..."Sarah put her hand on her slight bump "...will need a father. I cant lose my husband, my true love. I can't forgive you yet. You have hurt me alot but I cant live without you. I love you but for now you will be sleeping in one of the guest bedrooms." Andrew nodded.

"I understand. Oh and we are going to have a new member of the house. She's asleep in the car."

"Isabella?" Andrew nodded.

"She cant live alone in maddies house especially as she was there with me watching her die."

"Carry her in and put her in one of the rooms. She must be exhausted. Then when she's in her room you get some rest too. You are on getting up for the twins duty for the next 2 weeks. And you look like shit." Sarah stepped forward and stroked his face. "Go sleep. I will wake you up at lunchtime." Sarah let go of his hand and Andrew went and got Isabella, carried her to her new room then went to his new temporary room(hopefully) and went to sleep.

*12pm*

Andrew was woken up by Sarah climbing on the bed.

"Andrew it's time to wake up. Isabella is awake but wont talk to me. I've made lunch." Andrew sat up and rubbed his eyes. "you still look like shit. Are you feeling ok?"

"It was a very long night. She was in pain all night until her final minutes. Me, Alastair, William and Isabella were with her when she died. It broke my heart to see the kids cry." Andrew started to tear up. "2 am the boys and Isabella went out to get and had some icecream. That's when she made the request. It was so hard for me to go through with it. I was betraying you." Andrew was crying and Sarah held his hand. "We finished by the time the kids home and that's when she started getting worse. She was coughing blood. An hour later her body relaxed and she got tired. she said her final goodbyes, she closed her eyes and her heart stopped." Andrew was sobbing. "I didn't love her any more like I love you but I still cared. She was the mother of 3 of my kids. After our divorce she was like my sister."

"I know sweetheart. I know." Sarah made Andrew put his head down on her shoulder and he continued crying. He cried for a few minutes while Sarah was stroking his back until there was a knock on the door. "Come in." Andrew faced the opposite way from the door as he couldn't show his weaker side to Isabella.

"Daddy..." She said weakly. "I miss her already." She started crying which made Andrew start again.

"Come here..." He said. Isabella ran over to him, into his arms and sobbed into his chest.

"I will leave you two to talk. Lunch is ready if and when you want it. Call me if you want anything." Sarah kissed Andrew's head and she stroked Isabella's back but she flinched away. Sarah sighed and walked out the room. Andrew stopped crying a few minutes later and made Isabella lie down with him.

"I know its going to be hard for a while but we are going to get through it together and with your brothers. You can talk to me, uncle Julian, Imogen, Nicholas, Sarah..." Isabella scoffed. "Why did you just do that?"

"no reason..." Isabella got up. "Im hungry. Are you coming?"

"I need a shower and I need to change first." Isabella went down stairs to the kitchen and found Sarah feeding both the twins.

"Morning Isabella." Sarah said friendlily

"Good morning step monster." Sarah was unfazed by the comment.

"Lunch is in the microwave. Where's your dad?" Isabella grabbed the food out of the microwave.

"he's in the shower. Stupid Bitch." Sarah got annoyed.

"You can call me names when we are alone but please don't swear in front of the twins. I know you hate me but even though I dont know why we have to be civil. Im married to your dad and we have 2 kids together, soon to be 3."

"I hate you, you fucking slut ." Isabella took her plate and ran up to her room. Sarah sighed and a few tears fell and once they fell she burst into tears. She sat on the floor, curled up into a ball and cried into her knees while rocking back and forth. She calmed down by the Andrew came down but she still had red puffy eyes.

"Sarah honey what's wrong." He walked over to her and cuddled her but she pushed him away.

"Isabella hates me." Sarah said walking away from Andrew.

"Im sure she doesn't. She is just upset about Maddie."

"Just today she has called me step monster, stupid bitch, a fucking slut and told me she hated me." Sarah said taking her prenatal vitamins.

"Im going to go talk to her." Andrew started walking towards the door but Sarah pulled him back

"Dont. You will only make it worse for both of us. I will talk to her later when she calms down. She needs girl talk and the only other girl now she can talk to other than me is in new York. I feel sick."

"morning sickness again?" Sarah nodded.

"I have an appointment tomorrow. Are you coming? And do I invite Isabella?"

"Of course I will and its up to you." Sarah grabbed her keys.

"Look after the twins for a bit. Im going to take Isabella out for McDonalds." Sarah kissed Andrew's cheek then went to Isabella's room. She knocked on the door and walked in and found her curled up on her bed sobbing into her knees and her food was untouched. "Come with me. Im taking you to McDonalds for lunch and we are going to talk." Isabella got up and walked to the car with no arguments because she was hungry and wanted McDonalds. Sarah drove them to McDonalds in silence and then ordered. Sarah then decided that they weren't going back home yet. As they were driving, they drove past the house.

"Where are we going?" Isabella mumbled.

"Me and you are going to the beach."
