Chapter 10 - ten

Morgan's POV

My phone kept beeping.

I groaned in anger at whoever deemed it fit to wreck my sleep. Who the heck was disturbing me so damn early in the morning? I moved my hand, looking for my phone that wouldn't stop beeping. As I moved my hands, I hit the phone and knocked it down to the floor.

"Great." I mumbled. "Just great."

The stupid nonsense was still an annoying little sleep wrecker, buzzing every now and then. Then it began to ring. What the hell?!? I got up out of frustration after the final ring and picked the phone up from the floor, eager to see who it was.

An unknown number. Texts, also from the same unknown number. I opened it. The first read 'good morning, how was your night?'. I opened the next, 'How have you been?'.

I scoffed. What trick did Dante exactly think that he could play on me? That he could appear all of a sudden and walk back into my life the way he walked me out? He had to be kidding.

Without a second thought, I blocked the number. If he wanted to see how I was doing? If he wanted to know how I was doing, He'd have to come and ask me himself. Asides that, he could disappear for all I care!

I got up and stretched myself, taking in a huge breath. Today, I was going to focus on myself, my kids and work. Nothing else, no one else.

No Dante! No Nova! None of them! Just work!

I got up, got the children dressed for school so that Mr Vontrap could take them, and the got dressed for work.

"What's the special occasion mommy?" Miranda had asked when I was through with dressing her and Cole for school.

"There is no special occasion honey. Why do you ask?"

"You've been smiling like cra-- ouch!" She turned and looked at her brother, her eyes shooting daggers at him. "Why did you have to hit me?"

"You don't say words like that!" He corrected, then looked at me. "But you've been smiling a lot mommy. Do you want to tell us why you are so happy?"

"Doesn't mommy always look happy?" I asked them afraid that I might have showed traces of the fact that I was sad over seeing Dante and Nova reappear into my life like nothing had ever happened.

"You always look happy mommy." Cole replied. "But not this happy."

"Yes." Miranda echoed. "Not this happy."

"Well..." I started, trying not to show that I wasn't happy but simply trying not to think about past nonsense, but was glad that I was giving out the impression I wanted to. "Mommy just had a very good dream about flowers and butterflies and you guys and Molly and grandpa and all the people we love." I shrugged. "You know, things like that."

They nodded, mirroring my smile that was genuine.

"You know I love you both right?" They nodded.

"And we love you too Mommy." Miranda spoke.

"We love you too."

"Now we have to go so that we arrive school on time and so...."

"We don't keep uncle Vontrap waiting." The echoed in unison making the three of us laugh.

"Off we go!" I yelled in jubilation as we headed out to meet Mr Vontrap, waiting beside the car.
