The Forgotten Fuentes

Alli's POV~

I finished up in the bathroom and walked into the kitchen, because I had heard the guys come in. Everything was strangely quiet and kind of...glum when I walked in. I smiled anyway and waddled over to Vic. "Hey babe? How'd the meeting go?" I asked, draping my arms around his shoulders. He smiled and leaned up to peck my lips softly.

"Hey sweetheart, and uh..we all need to have a talk," he replied, and I could see that something was troubling him. I sat down and Lilly brought over a plate of sandwiches and joined us. No one touched the sandwiches, so I knew something was very, very wrong.

"What's going on, love?" I asked, starting to worry. "Uhm...well, as you know, sales on our album are going great. The thing is though, they're going so great that...the company is sending us on tour..." he said, looking down. My eyes grew wide. "That's great honey! Why are you so upset?" I asked, not seeing the problem. "We uh....we leave...Saturday..." he muttered, and my smile faded. "But...but the twins are due next week...' I said, and a tear rolled down his cheek. "I know baby, and I'd give anything to be here when they are born..." he said, and I began to sniffle. I got up and walked quickly-well, as quickly as I could, since I was in fact 8 months and a few weeks pregnant with twins- out into the back yard.

I stood on the back porch, looking over the railing and into our huge backyard. The hot tears were running fast from my eyes as I stood there running this over in my head. The father of my children would not be here when they were born. How could this be happening?

I felt Vic walk up behind me and wrap his arms around me. "I'm so sorry Alli-bear...I tried to make them change the date but they've already sold tickets for certain dates....the tour is only 3 months and it's all in the U.S. since it's our first time, so that's good, right? I might even get to come home once or twice during the first month, since we're performing in Cali and the bordering states," he said, and I could hear his voice straining so that he wouldn't cry. I turned to face him, then buried my head in his chest. "Vic...I'm gonna miss you so much...and you'll be gone for the first three months of Clara and Chandler's lives..." I trailed off, continuing to cry into his chest.

"I know, Alli-bear. I'm so sorry darling..." he said. Eventually we pulled apart. He held my hand and we walked back into the house. Lilly was storming out the front door and Mike was crying on the couch. I knew he tried, but Lilly was so damn stubborn. She just needed to cool down. I looked at Vic and let go of his hand, and he went to comfort his brother. I went back into the nursery and started to organize again, trying to get my mind off of everything. I cried as I folded the baby's clothes, knowing that they wouldn't see their father until three months into their lives. I cried because it would be me and Lilly, all alone again. I cried because if something happened, my husband wouldn't be here to protect me and I couldn't protect myself, Lilly, and the kids.

I was full on sobbing again when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. It felt like my entire lower half was on fire, and I screamed out. Then, it happened.

My water broke.

Notes

Babies are on the way a week early!! :O

Also, I'm obsessed with Doctor Who AND The Walking Dead, so that explains the baby's names haha (for those who are unfamiliar, Chandler Riggs plays Carl in TWD, and Clara is one of the Doctor's companions in Doctor Who)

Love to all!
