Jex |Complete|

[46] Family

Sara's POV:

"You're still here," I whisper softly, as I wake wrapped in Andre's arms.

"Was I meant to leave in the middle of the night?" He replies softly.

"You could have, I wouldn't have been offended," I roll over, now facing him. "Didn't you only come for the one thing you got last night?"

He places his hand on my cheek, stroking it gently. "No. I want you to come home Sara, and I want to put an end to this."

"The only way we can put an end to this, is if you stop being such an asshole to your daughter and be part of her life again. You know she's four months pregnant and last night she told me they're having a son."

"A son? I'm sure Jex will be happy about that. He has himself an heir to the Viper throne."

I roll my eyes and sit up. "This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about Dre. These are the comments you make that get me off side. Of course Jex is happy and so is Bella, they're both extremely happy. I wish you'd give them a chance to show you that. She can't help that she fell in love with someone you don't agree with Dre."

"If it was anyone else in the world I could probably come to terms with it, but a Viper? You know the history Sara."

"Then maybe you need to start seeing Jex as a person and not as a Viper, because you've no idea how good he is to your daughter. There isn't a man in this world that could love her more then he does."

"I think I might," he says with a huff.

"I think she'd disagree with you on that one. After all it's not you who's trying to put her pieces back together, or holding her when she cries. It's not you showing and telling her how much you love her, it's you that's hurt her in the first place Andre."

"Blunt much," he lets out a deep sigh.

"I'm not coming home until you accept the man our daughter has chosen to be with. If you can't do that, head back downstairs to the girl behind the desk and don't come looking for me again."

Bella's POV:

I wake feeling sore all over this morning. Making up with Jex really took it out of me, but he's worth it.

Slipping out of bed I make my way down the hall and begin making breakfast for the two of us (or three of us I should say), while Jex sleeps.

If our small argument made me realise anything yesterday, it's that Jex really does love me beyond anything. No matter what he is always putting me first and showing me how much he cares. I feel silly for ever doubting it, even for just a second.

As much as I wish we didn't have the argument he's right. It has taught us a lot, and this morning I feel happy for the first time in weeks. The smile on my face is no longer fake, because now I know that no matter what happens, I will always have Jex by my side. Losing my family really hurt. As much as I wish that it didn't happen it did, and I can't change that. This morning I realised that if I had to choose between Jex and my family again, I'd choose Jex every single time.

Once breakfast is complete I plate it up and place it down on the kitchen bench. I then make my way back down the hall and into the bedroom to wake Jex.

When I enter the room, much to my surprise he's still asleep. Usually, the smell of food is enough to make him, but I guess he's worn out as well.

"Jex," I say loudly from the doorway.

"Mm?" He groans.

"I made breakfast."

"No, come back to bed," he groans.
