Forgiveness

7:04pm

Gavin's apartment

Waving baby Billy and baby Nora in the baby's cot, Ivonne smiled while playing with her grandkids.

Amber gave birth to twins babies, a baby boy which looks more like Gavin and a baby girl which looks more like herself. Gavin named his eldest child Billy because he named his youngest child Nora.

Walking down the stairs, Amber chuckled when she saw Ivonne playing with her 5 days old grandbabies.

"I thought they're asleep" Amber said.

"Huh? Asleep? No they're still awake" turning towards the babies, she added, "hello darlings, grandma's still here" tickling them she added, "who wants to play seesaw with me, huh? Billy, Nora, who wanna play with me?"

Glancing at the wall clock, Amber cupped her cheeks and sat on the couch, busy scrolling her phone.

Just then Gavin walked in, "Baby am ho– what are you doing here? Gavin shouted angrily when he saw Ivonne playing with his kids.

Parting her lips several times but she couldn't say a single word.

Amber tossed her phone aside and head towards Gavin. "Amor please calm down"

"Amber, did you see my– oh Gavin you're back, so how was it? What did the court say?" Ingrid asked.

Scrunching his brows annoyingly, "they sentenced Stacey and her mother to life imprisonment"

Widening her eyes and mouth in shock, Amber covered her mouth with her hands. "Life imprisonment? Damn that's a long torture"

Turning towards Ivonne, Gavin narrowed his eyes, "didn't I ask you not to step your foot into my premises? So what are you doing here, huh?" Turning towards Amber and Ingrid, he added, "what's she doing in my house? Who let her in?"

Patting his chest, "Amor please calm down, I was the one who let her in. She only came to see her grandbabies."

"Why did you let her in? She is not worthy to touch my kids! Neither is she worthy to be called a grandma!" Turning towards Ivonne, he added, "please get outta my house! Get out before I do something crazy!"

Rubbing her hands together, Ivonne burst into tears, "Gavin please, am sorry, forgive me"

"Just stop these fake talks! Stop shedding crocodile tears because it won't solve anything, you get it? Now leave!"

Hugging Gavin, Amber placed her head on his chest, "Amor please, it's fourteen months since you cut all tiles with her. She is your mother no matter what happened, I should be the one rebuking her but no, I don't wanna do that because it's gonna affect our babies if I act that way. Just forgive her and let bye gone be bye gone, please Amor, if not for me but for the peace, harmony and love Billy and Nora has brought us, please"

Rolling his eyes, Gavin took a deep breath and sighed. After glaring at Ivonne for some seconds, he finally nodded his head and walked towards Ivonne.

Without waiting for him to come closer, Ivonne dashed towards him and gave him a tight hug with tears rolling down her cheeks. She really missed her son for a year and two months.

Ingrid and Amber smiled at each other when they saw mother and son hugging each other like kids.
