The Forgotten Fuentes

*Saturday*
Vic's Alli's POV~

I came home from the hospital last night, and Vic and the guys are leaving today. I cried myself to sleep, and Vic just rubbed my back. This morning, breakfast was silent and sorrowful, except for the giggling and gurgling of the twins. I was glad that Vic got to be there when they were born, but I hated that he had to leave so soon afterwards.

They guys are loading the tour bus now, and Lilly and I are both kind of just standing off to the side, watching and trying to hold back the tears. The boys promised to send us money for food and things and also to call us every night, but there was a time change after a while since they were going across the country. Their first two gigs were in Cali and Vic told me he'd come home to see me when he could, but I was still sad. I mean, Lilly and I'd have to take care of Clara and Chandler by ourselves for the first (as it turns out) FOUR months of their lives.

"Babe, we have to go now," Vic said, wrapping his arms around me softly. I couldn't hold back anymore. I turned around and sobbed into his chest. "I'm gonna miss you so much Vic," I sobbed. "I'm gonna miss you and the twins too, Alli-bear," he said, kissing my head. I looked up and connected our lips for the last time for four whole months. "I'm so proud of you boys," I said, as the rest of the boys took turns hugging me and the babies, then Lilly.

I watched as Lilly broke down in Mike's arms. I could tell he was trying not to cry as well.

After all of the tearful goodbyes, Vic kissed me one last time, then kissed both of the twins on the forehead, and they boarded the bus. Lilly and I stood there and watched as the bus pulled away.

I walked back inside with the kids and looked at Lilly. She smiled sadly, rubbed my back, then took Chandler and went to the nursery. I took Clara and walked out into the back yard. I turned on my music and stuck one headphone in my ear, letting the other one dangle behind me (out of reach of Clara). I was listening to a band called All Time Low, and the acoustic version of their song Backseat Serenade started to play. I looked down at my beautiful baby girl, who was smiling and flapping her arms around. I smiled at her and rocked her back and forth, as I listened to the song. I started to cry when it got to the bridge, and Clara looked at me like I was crazy.

"I'm on my toes,
and there she goes again,
the final throes
of summertime
well spent,
oh, there she goes...."

I had to turn it off. I couldn't stand it, he'd just left and I already missed him so much. I rocked Clara back and forth as I cried silently, eventually lulling her to sleep. When she was sleeping, I carried her to the nursery, where I found Chandler fast asleep in his crib, and Lilly sitting in the rocking chair and staring blankly out the window, just a few teardrops escaping her eyes.

I laid Clara down softly, and switched on the baby monitor. Lilly turned and looked at me just as I was about to leave the room. "Alli, I already miss him so much..." she whispered, and I walked over to her and hugged her. "I know, I know," I replied. I grabbed her hand and led her to the living room where the other monitor was. I switched that one on and clipped it to my belt loop, then Lilly and I went to my bedroom and shut the door. They were surely already missing us too.... or at least that's what I told Lilly. I hoped so, but they're on tour....who knows.
