After dinner, I did the dishes and then put the girls to bed before walking back to my room. As I was walking back I saw Scott on balcony. Should I go talk to him? Or no? It's not like I'd be committing a crime.
I walked over to him, to see that he's lost in his thoughts.
"Scott?" I called but he didn't answer. I then walked up to him and touched his shoulders.
"Woah!" He said as he jumped up in surprise.
"Sorry. I thought...you didn't hear me when I called?" I said.
"I didn't." He said.
"Oh." I said.
"What do you want?" He asked turning his whole body to look at me.
"Listen, I know things have come to this bad. But you should at least consider moving on." I said.
"By moving on, your definition is?" He asked.
"Like is there any chances with you and Ivy?" I asked.
"She kept things from me." He said.
"She wanted to move on. That past and memories are extremely painful. She didn't want to bring it back up again. Trust me..." I said but he cut me off.
"She could've tried..." He said but I cut him off.
"Tried what, Scott? Did you want to tell her about our past?" I asked.
"I did get the courage to tell her." He said.
"Scott, you lost the chance to be a father to Veronica but at least you can still see her everyday and anytime you want to. Ivy lost her baby, that baby saved her life and she is living in grief now. When she finally built up just enough courage to try life again, you're gonna make her weak again? She aren't able to see her child. The pain of losing a child is unbearable. I should know. If I had lost Veronica or even Selena, I would be worst. Besides I have forgiven you." I explain to him.
"She's right. If you want someone to blame, you can blame me. I can bear the punishment for all." We both turn around to see Brandon.
"No Aria is right. The past is the past. I shouldn't of bring it up." Scott said.
"Then I think you should go see someone." I said smiling.
"She wouldn't want to see me." He said.
"She stays up late every night in the kitchen, waiting for you." Brandon said.
"How would you know that?" Scott asked. For real, how would he know that?
"Can't sleep and so I go down to the basement to, try to figure it out." He said.
"She probably hates you." I said.
"Yeah no kidding." Brandon said.
"Well I'll...think this over." Scott said before leaving. As he reach by the door he turn back to face us.
"Aria, thanks. For everything." He said.
"Its what I'm here for." I said and he smile before leaving. Brandon then kissed my forehead.
"You're an incredible woman. I love you." He said.
"That I am." I said laughing.

The Next Day....
After waking up and doing my morning routine, I showered and then walked down to meet everyone waiting on me in the dining room.
"Good morning mom!" Veronica said.
"Good morning aunt Ria!" Selena called.
"Good morning my princesses." I said kissing them both on the their heads.
"Mom. We helped made pancakes!" Veronica said.
"Really? Who helped you guys?" I asked as I sat down next to Brandon.
"Uncle Scott!" They said.
"Really?! Surprisingly!" I said.
"Why surprised?" Selena asked.
"Because your uncle Scott, can't cook well." I said causing everyone to laugh.
"Hey!" Scott said as I laughed. I then received an message. Probably from Lesley.
Lesley
Hey. You coming today? I'll wait at our usual place.
Me
Cool. See you there.
As I put down my phone I realized everyone was staring at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Who was it?" Brandon asked.
"Lesley. I'm meeting her at the mall." I said.
"Mall!" Both Selena and Veronica said.
"You girls wanna go?" I asked.
"Yay!" They screamed.
"We're gonna go get ready!" Veronica said as they both quickly run off before I could say anything.
"Couldn't you have waited until after they finish breakfast?" Scott asked.
"How would I know they'd be so excited?" I asked.
"Let's finish and I'll take you guys. Lesley is someone we can't trust." Brandon said.
"Provide proof first then I'll know if its Lesley, which I still think is innocent." I said.
"Oh my God." Ivy said and I shrugged.

Two Hours Later ....
After meeting Lesley and she meet Selena and Veronica, we all decided to walk around a bit in a clothes store. Brandon was keeping a very close distance to us.
"Mummy! Can we go to the game store? Please!" Veronica begged.
"Ronnie, wait a bit sweetie." I said.
"But mom!" She pouted angrily folding her arms. Well she certainly got that from her father's side.
"Ronnie!" I said.
"Ria, I'll take her." Scott said as he, Kevin and Ivy walked up behind us.
"Alright. But make sure don't overspend." I said.
"Got it!" He said as the girls smiled and run out with him.
"He's going to overspend, isn't he?" I asked.
"Yep." Brandon and Ivy said at the same time.
"Well...Kevin you and Ivy should go with them just in case. You know Scott can be immature as they are." I said.
"Good idea. I was bored here anyways." Kevin said.
"Alright. See you guys in a few. Be careful. " I said.
"Yep. You too." Ivy said. I then shrugged looking at Brandon who seems really worried.
"Relax." I whispered to him.
"How am I supposed to be relaxed when there's a mental criminal person, whose capable of murdering anyone, standing in the same room as us and our kids?" He asked.
"Could you not?" I asked.
"Hey Ria! Come take a look!" Lesley called.
"Coming!" I said.
"Just try to stay normal? Please?" I said before leaving.
"Me stay normal? You should tell it to that psychotic friend of yours." He said in low voice but I heard. I turn around hitting him a death glare.
"Got it." He said raising his hands in the air in surrender.
