“Kaden, I don’t need to just work with Mason. We all need to work together. It’s clear that most of us, if not all of us, love more than one person. We need to figure this out. If we love each other as much as we say we do, then we can make it work.” She leans down, her lips inches from his. “I want to make it work.” She gently kisses his lips before leaning up again. “I wouldn’t be so sure about Mason. He’s angry. Give him time. He already knew you were the one who took me, and he forgave you for that. He was angry about that too. Just give it time.” She looks over towards the door and back down to him. “Why is it so important that I don’t let him leave? Kaden, what happened last night between you two?”
Nicholas finishes dressing and heads into the kitchen. The smell of pancakes was still heavy in the air. He started the coffee just as the front door opened. “Mason? What are you doing here?”
“I know she’s here. I saw her car out front. He is not going to hurt her again. I’ll kill him first.” He starts towards the bedroom, and Nicholas stops him. “Wait. Give them some time. I agree everybody should sit down and talk, but it’s been a hard morning for him.”
“You think I give a damn about him?”
“Actually I do. I remember what happened at the hospital between you two.” Mason looks away from him. “So just give him and Melanie some time. If he starts to do anything that might hurt her, I’ll help you get him away from her, but he won’t. I’m sure of it. So just sit down, have a cup of coffee, and….call Jareth and Kevin.” Mason looks at him, his eyes widen. “What for?”
“All of you need to talk. This stress can not be good for Melanie and the babies. It’s not good for anyone. All of you need to sit down and talk this through. Okay?” Mason sighs before taking out his phone and dialing Jareth.
Kevin smiles as he watches him with the tray. “Yes I do have you all to myself still, and I’m sure I can come up with something for us to do.” He hears his phone ring again. “Who could that be?” He already had a feeling it was Mason. “Changed his mind already,” he smirks.
