Chapter 3

Chapter Three

Sky took me to Zayrene's death anniversary. He said we would just visit the cemetery where Zayrene was buried and then visit his mother. Zayrene’s parents are in Spain and Sky chooses not to go there first because of the quadruplets. I respect his decision.

Even though I was a little confused because Zayrene's parents might think differently, I just went along.

We were with Skye because as I said before, it really can't leave without me.

"Mommy, I wanna go to" said Zabrinna using her sweetest tone.

I turned my gaze to Sky as Skyler and Zerine pulls the end of his shirt.

"Baby, they really want to come." Sky said to me.

I looked at Dan, Francine and Marco just waiting for Sky to leave us. They are the ones who are supposed to take care of the children now because their helpers are not there.

"Why don't you just bring them?" Dan asked us.

"Because Sky and I can't handle themㅡ" before I could finish what I was saying Dan stood up and took his jacket from the head rest of the sofa he was sitting on.

"Yey! Dan got what I wanted to say." Francine said like a child before running towards us and quickly picked up Skyler.

The kids laughed, Marco also followed and Zerine was the one who he carried, the four of them were still ahead when they left the house.

"Zab, come to uncle." Smiling Dan said so Zabrinna ran towards him. I just let out a deep sigh.

What else can I do?

I looked at Sky, he shrugged before finally lifting Skye and walking to follow Francine.

I also followed with the bag where the milk of the four children was.

I also hold the key to Sky's car, we decided to use two cars, Marco and Francine will accompany Dan with Zabrinna and Zerine.

While Sky and I were with two other children.

"Mommy, milk." Skyler said as he played with his finger.

I am now sitting in the passenger seat while the two of them are in seatbelt in the backseat, I reached for the bag by my side and then took the milk that was ready for the children.

I shake it first before handing it to Skyler, his hand is still too small so I support it too.

"How did you manage to raise them by yourself?" I was surprised when Sky suddenly asked.

When Skyler finally touched the nipple I turned my gaze to Sky, I adjusted my seat in the passenger seat.

"Thanks to Dan and Zabrina." I said.

He bite his lower lip, his eyes are just focused on the road, but I know he's listening to me

"Is it hard?" He asked.

"So much," I admit. "But I have no choice, I'm also happy because they came into my life. Somehow they took away my tiredness." I added.

What followed was silence.

I also noticed his eyebrows meet, but he remained silent. I chose to just turn my attention to the road as well.

I know even if he doesn't say that there is a part of him that repents because he was not there when I was still pregnant and when the quadruplets were born.

I also can't blame him, I chose not to tell him because I don't want to cause trouble. I just want to respect the decision he made then, to follow Zayrene.

It's been a while, the important thing is that I'm with him now, he's with us.

Zayrene Gomez

Sky sat down in front of it and then slowly removed the leaves and dust that were on top of the tombstone.

"Zay," he started. "You said, I should chase for my happiness, now she's here." I bowed when I remembered the last time Zayrene and I met we had a fight.

I did not criticize Zayrene's behavior then because she was kind to me.

If I hadn't been her rival to Sky before, I would have really wanted to be friends with her.

"Ate Zay! Do you see these four children? They are my nieces and nephews. What do they look like?" Francine said with a smile, but even though she was smiling, her eyes were streaked with sadness.

"I missed you, Zay." Said Sky.

I felt pain in the tone of his voice when he said that. I can't be jealous, because I have nothing to be jealous of. I know Sky was hurt by Zayrene's death.

It hurts to lose a friend.

"Sister, do you have anything to eat there? You may be losing weight." Francine said foolishly so somehow Sky smiled.

Dan, Marco and I remained silent.

Lets both have time for their friend.

"Of course you won't be starving, you love eating." Sky joked, I bit on my lip when it looked up as if something was preventing it from dripping.

"You're mad sister, you're making my brother cry."

"Yes, you're unfair." I come over and patted his shoulder.

He immediately leaned his head on my shoulder.

"Zay, meet my future wife. Hahaha." He tried to laugh. "The last time I introduced her to you, you know she is my best friend." He added. "Look at her, isn't she beautiful? She's the mother of my four children. I'm a father, Zayrene. You said I was barren, weren't you?"

After Sky's reflection, we decided to go to his mother’s house.

In the car, I was nervous, this was the first time I could talk or face them face to face.

When we arrived, Sky's mother greeted me and now looked at me from head to toe.

"Sky, let's talk." She said sternly before looking at me again as if she was going to eat me.
