New living

"This feels so weird" I state as I walk throughout the halls with Marie.

"It felt weirder without you, it felt like it was missing a hint of bitch" Marie remarks, giggling at the end.

I shift Marie's child in my arms and coo down at him, "I miss Elizabeth being this age, they're so little and adorable"

"Maybe you should talk to Ethan, get the baby making back on" Marie winks over at me and I gawk are her new personality.

"What the hell did he do to you?!" I exclaim, once again shifting Spencer in my arms.

Marie begins to laugh before we reach Jacobs room, and she enters before guiding me towards the small cot.

"He loves to sleep in here during the day, and keep us up all night. Benjamin and I take turns to look after him, but most of the time Benjamin takes care of him to 'give me more sleep'. He too sweet" Marie babbles in before grabbing Jacob from my arms and beginning to bounce him around.

"You guys are adorable" I coo at Marie before helping tick Spencer in his bed.

"Night night Bug" Marie says softly before we both leave the room, shutting it slowly behind us and creeping away silently.

We reach the bottom of the stairs before cracking open a bottle of wine and grabbing two glasses.

Marie and I sit down on the couch before pouring some into both glasses.

"So, when you next being knocked up" I ask marie and she spits back into her glass in shock, "I was kidding! God! I just missed you"

"I missed you too" Marie smiles before taking a sip of her own class, "but, do you maybe want another kid? I mean Elizabeth is six now..."

I grin slightly and look down to my glass, "yes, obviously. But, I don't know if Ethan wants anymore, we haven't really talked much since I got back and I've been here two days"

"I think he's just nervous son how to come up with a conversation, the last time you talked was you being forced out of the city" Marie shrugs and then let's out a sigh, "it must be hard on not just both of you, but Elizabeth too"

"I guess I see your point"

"They should be raiding the last Italian mob rebels camp later, Italian mob have apologised but they are not going to call it a truce between the two mobs" Marie explains to me, okay so we're digging in deep now.

"I'm going with them" I state and she nods in understanding.

I was teared away from Ethan before I learnt more about him and ended up taking our child away for protection for six years while he fought so hard to bring our family back together.

"I'll look after Elizabeth while you're gone, she can get to know Spencer" Marie offers and I accept happily.

"I know you will" I say and take a gulp of my wine, before pouring more wine into both glasses, "honestly, I think I missed you more than Ethan"

She beams at me before clinking her glass with mine, "it was so boring without you! Benjamin became even more attached, it seems to be getting worse"

"Hate to break it to you, but all men get attached to things easily" I whisper, clearly tipsy from the drink.

Marie lets out a huge giggle before finishing off her drink, "refill!"

I grab the second wine bottle and pour some more into both glasses, accidentally spilling a little over the edges.

"Whoops!" I shout before we both join in laughter, as if we hadn't been separated for six years.
