Chapter 5 Rose

Rose POV

"Mommy who is this guy kissing you ? " Jasmine asked and I stared at Archer in horror God why do they have to come now, why how will I explain this to Archer

"Rose are you okay you left the party in a rush " Kate walks in and also froze when she saw Archer she muttered an oh

"Guess I will leave you guys alone " she left the room with the kids, I was screaming in my head for Kate not to leave me

"Rose who are they? " he asked

"My children " I avoids his eyes that were piercing right through me shocked

"Yours or you mean ours why didn't you tell me you were pregnant " he runs his hands through his hair frustrated as he paced about the room

"You said you didn't want anything to do with me " I sternly said even if deep down I was melting

"Rose that doesn't justify the fact that you hid them from me " he annoyance increasing

"So I am at fault now, what did you expect me to say at that time when you didn't even let me defend myself -"

"Rose "he cuts me off and I respond back

"No you listen, you are making me seem as the villain here who kidnapped your children from you, you wanted me to beg you to stay with me because I am pregnant, no way I warned you about this, I told you not to come for me now you are here causing me pain haven't you had enough, I am done, we are done " I snapped breaking down in tears

"Rose I didn't mean to turn this on you is just that I am surprised that I am a father and I hate myself right now for not being there for you during the pregnancy and childbirth and also not hearing their first word, seeing their first steps " he consoled me as he caressed my cheeks and stared right into my eyes, I could see the hurt in his face and feel the sincerity in his words but no I won't forgive him he didn't trust me and relationships are meant to be based on trust

"Do they know me? "

"Yes They know that they have a father they bare your name "

"When do we tell them "

"Whoa you are going to fast there is no telling them for know-"

"but I am there father they need to know me and me them " he cuts me off again

"Stop cutting me off and listen okay we will tell them but not now you can't just barge into their lives proclaiming you are their father get to know them first and when they are okay with you we tell them "

"Okay fine but What about us "

"Their is no more a Archer, they will never be " I lied as much as I want him back I can't just give myself to him and I love him but also hate him

"I know you are lying Rose, there will be a us "

"Think what you want to think okay I have moved on so should you " I lied again

"You want me to move on? "

"Yes I told you when before I left to be happy so go do what ever you want, date somebody it is none of my business you are just my babies father, nothing more "

I was like piercing a knife into my throat but If he love me he should fight for it

"No more " I nod my head

"But Guess what I can't do that, I can't move on ever since I divorced you I haven't moved on, not go on a date with anyone, I drowned myself in work but day and night " I felt like hugging him right now telling him I am here now but I can't, I can't just give in yet

"Is that meant to bring me back if so You have much work to do okay, it is your business if you can't date anyone not mine so just go I am tired of this and I need to sleep okay "

"Fine I will go but I will be back tomorrow "

"Suit yourself goodnight " I locked the door, checked on the children they were already asleep and I headed straight to bed not even bothering to remove my clothes I hugged myself as memories of that night play in my head, the night I lost him, the night he threw me out
