Early release for. School yay!)
Caleb woke up at 6 not knowing that she had just crawled into bed. He smiled softly "Morning baby." He whispered and got up to take a shower

(Awesome!!)
Annabella looked up at him and murmured, "Morning." She hugged her pillow closer and snuggled into it more. She was still very very tired.

(That's alright! I have to go to class soon)
Annabella nodded and kissed him softly before he left, then murmured a good bye before falling back asleep. She didn't sleep long. The babies were awake by 8 am. She sighed and climbed out of bed and went to tend to them. Carrying them out to the living room she set out a blanket and let them lay on their bellies. Her phone buzzed and she noticed it was Derek. He wanted to come over. Dread and guilt filled her. Instantly she texted him telling him she couldn't do that ever again, but he wasn't allowing that. An image came in. Derek had taken a picture of them together when she hadn't been paying attention. He threatened to send it to Caleb if she stopped the affair. Sadness filled her and she sighed and told him to come over. Caleb couldn't know. If he found out it would destroy him...

Oooo)
Jessica babbled happily. Caleb arrived at work and went right to it, as they were busy. Especially with people who were far from friendly. Today was going to be a long day.

(Yesss I literally dreamt this last night.)
Annabella watched her children, and a few minutes later there was a knock on the door. She quickly let him in and closed the door. Looking up at Derek she crossed her arms. "The babies are in the living room so you'll have to wait."

He smiled "alright Bella. I'll play with them to make them tired. Then we can move to the bedroom of our own." He winked and kissed her cheek. He went into the living room and lay down beside the kids smiling

Annabella frowned, there was no way he was getting into her and Caleb's bed. Over her dead body, which meant she had to seduce him before he tried to go to the bedroom. Wonderful. After 20 minutes the kids grew tired and Andrew fell asleep. Anna sighed and carried her son and daughter to their bedroom and then came back out to the living room. She pushed Derek down onto the couch and kissed him hard, climbing onto his lap. Every bone in her body hated this. All of it.

Derek smiled and kisse her back running his hands over her whole body. "That's it baby, don't fight." He whispered and began to take her shirt off (Skip?)

(Yup) Annabella climbed off the couch and got dressed and walked off into the bathroom. Tears streamed down her face as she ran a brush through her hair. She hated herself. Deeply. Cheating on Caleb was the worst thing she had ever done and now she'd done it twice.

Derek smiled. He relaxed on the couch before getting up. He went to the bathroom and walked in. "Baby, don't cry. It's alright. You shouldn't cry." He whispered and wiped away her tears wrapping an arm around her "Your not doing anything that he wouldn't, or didn't. Plus. This is what you agreed to the first time, why is the second offering?" He asked kissing her neck

Annabella looked at him and nodded slowly. "I feel guilty. I hate this. Derek I love him. I don't want to do this to him." She took a step back and wiped her eyes. "I'm just emotional. I've had a lot of trauma the past week. I'm not supposed to be having sex. Doctor's orders."

" it's ok, nothing's going to happen. We have been careful not to go over board right?" He said smiling softly. "It's fine. Again hero ably did the same to you." He shrugged "It's fine Bella." He said and walked out

Annabella watched him go and took a deep breath, then sighed. She ran her hand through her hair. She was a horrible person and she knew it, but she couldn't do a thing about it. This continued for nearly 3 months, then school started up again. Annabella was nervous about going back to school. Of course she wasn't actually going back. She was commuting since she had to come home every day to her kids. Her and Caleb still hadn't picked a wedding day, actually nothing had gone forward with that. Caleb worked every day all day and was hardly ever home. That didn't make her guilt lessen. She hated the affair, and her patience was growing thin. Derek was walking on thin ice and she was ready to crack it and drowned him. The next time he came over she was taking his phone and deleting every copy of that photo she could find and any others he had taken, then she was going to tell Caleb the truth. She had to. She couldn't sleep anymore, or even look at him really and he was beginning to notice.

Caleb had noticed a change in Annabella. When he wasn't working she was quiet, they hadn't even talked about the wedding dates yet. He didn't decide to push the subject, the twins were more active now that they were older and more playful and since he had been working a lot to try and save up for the wedding he felt worse and worse about working so much. Now with school starting he had taken more of the night shifts to take the load off of Annabella so she could focus on school. He hated how they were growing more apart it seemed. And he didn't even know why. He decided that he would talk to her once she got home from school since he had the day off.

Derek texted her over and over again throughout the day, but she warned him that Caleb had the whole week off. It would buy her time. At least a little. He began getting pushy at lunch time and since she had a free hour she met him at his apartment. And sure enough they went at it again and when he went to shower she grabbed his phone and got into it easily since the passcode was her name. She rolled her eyes and deleted everything quickly. All copies were deleted she even deleted the one off his cloud. Since he was still in the shower she changed his passcode to something he couldn't know. The day of her's and Caleb's first meeting. She then found his laptop and erased the pictures off the hard drive there too. She searched the apartment as quickly as she could, but found no other copies of it, so when she believed she had gotten them all she sat down on the couch and ran her hand through her hair and took a deep breath. Before he came out she left and went back to school. She would tell Caleb the truth, but she couldn't have Derek getting in the way and making it worse. After school she pulled up to the cottage and sat in the car for a while and just stared at the door. How could she go in and ruin everything? How could she break the person she loved the most? How could she lose the only thing that mattered to her? Taking a deep breath she got out of the car and went inside. She had to get this over with.

Caleb came put of the twins room. They had been fussy all day for some reason and he had finally gotten them down for a nap. He yawned a little, he had worked till midnight last night so he hadn't gotten much sleep. He was heading for the couch when he saw Annabella walk in. Instantly he smiled and went over hugging her tightly. "Hey baby. How was school?" He asked keeping an arm around her as they sat on the couch. His cheery smile faded when he saw the look in her eyes. Once she could mask with a smile but not in her eyes. "What is it?" He asked concerned now that something happened.

Annabella hugged him back and buried her face in his neck. "School was school. I like my teachers. I didn't get much homework luckily." She bit her lip and sat down beside him on the couch. "Oh god." She put her face in her hands. Before she even began speaking tears formed in her eyes and spilled down her cheeks. Standing up she paced for a moment. "I don't even know how to say this. There's no way I can say this without hurting you." She wiped the tears in her eyes and looked at Caleb. "I..I cheated on you. With Derek. 3 months ago. I..I don't know why or even some way to justify it, but I felt so guilty after. I wanted to pretend it never happened and I tried. I tried to call it off, but he took a picture and threatened to send it to you. He used it as leverage. He..He kept telling me I was only doing what you did to me and my memory is patchy still and I don't remember all of our relationship. I remember you kissing some girl Zoey, but I don't remember much else. So I believed him. Until recently. More of the memories came back. I remember what actually happened with Zoey." She gasped for breath as she tried to continue on as she stood there sobbing. "I didn't want to continue the affair. I've felt so guilty. I just couldn't take it, but I didn't want to lose you and I know I'm about to. I can't take it back, but I didn't want it. Not after the first time. I love you so much and I'm such a horrible person and I am so sorry. I am more sorry than you could ever know." She stepped back a bit farther and wiped her eyes fiercely, waiting for him to scream or hit her or even just leave and never come back.

Caleb was concerned. Why had she started to cry? What had happened. He watched her stand and pace. Then as she started to talk he let his face fall. He looked at her feeling his heart break more and more, as she continued. She had cheated on him, and actually wanted it the first time. She wanted someone besides him, even if it was only one time let alone three months. He looked at her as she shook and sobbed, then took a step back as of she was ready for punches to be thrown, to be yelled at. Caleb closed his eyes feeling hit tears in his eyes. He let a few slip down his cheeks before standing. "3 months, or not, the first time you wanted it. You let him... I understand the blackmailing, but..." His voice broke. "The fact you even had a doubt in your mind that I would do something..." He looked at her for a moment then shook his head talking quietly. "I need to go." He said. Caleb grabbed his keys and phone and walked to the door. "I need some time alone. The kids are asleep let them sleep for as long as they need, it's been a rough day for them. For all of us." He said tightly. "I... I'll see you soon. I need time to think." His chest tight as he choked back tears Caleb walked out. He had wanted to comfort her, but right now he was too broken himself to do that. He got in his car and began to drive to campus, he needed a place to stay, and he needed Sabrina.

Annabella watched him and wiped the tears from her face once more. her shoulders dropped as she watched him go. She couldn't say anything and she knew it. Dropping to her knees she began to sob in the living room. After hours of crying she just laid there, unable to sleep. She had no one. Caleb and Sabrina and if she knew Caleb at all that was where he had gone. Sabrina would surely hate her now as well. The tears wouldn't come out anymore, but her body still trembled as if she were crying. As if to make the matters worse the front door opened silently and inside snuck a robber. Someone had wandered onto the estate of the most powerful lawyer in California and tried to rob them. Anna's head lifted as she heard them thinking Caleb had come back. She was wrong. A scream left her before she could even think and a gun went off as the man jumped. Annabella was shot in the lower abdomen. The lone man ran as fast as he could out of the house. Anna gasped and gripped her stomach, she began coughing up blood as she pulled out her phone and dialed 911. She only was able to mumble a small help before everything went black and the only thing she could hear was crying I the background. An ambulance arrived not long after and she was rushed to the hospital, and EMT managed to grab the kids and a diaper bag in under 5 minutes and they were taken with them, but they kept screaming. At the hospital Anna woke up and mumbled something about calling Ayslin and to only call Ayslin. She was on her paperwork, but Caleb was listed as the one who was supposed to be called. Due to her request they didn't call him and called her sister instead. Ayslin came immediately. She hated how much they had been fighting and hurried to the hospital. her sister could die. She dialed Caleb first, but he didn't answer so she called Sabrina next muttering something about hurrying up.

Caleb was at Sabrina's dor, where he was sobbing. He wasn't much of a crier but now he let his full emotions go and it was heartbreaking to watch. Sabrina was beside him rubbing his back. She hadn't seen Caleb like this, ever really. Even when a close family member or an animal does he wasn't like this. He true.y loved Anmabella and for her to betray him, even with th blackmail, it was awful. Caleb had done nothing but love her. Sabrina knew he had been working so hard because he wanted to surprise her for their honeymoon. She just couldn't believe Annabella would do something like that. "It's ok. Caleb. You two need to talk. I know the wound is raw but you need to talk." Caleb shook his head "How? I did nothing but love her, care for her and the babies, and then Derek, her ex mind you comes back and she sleeps with him. I know he blackmailed her so I can't blame her but the first time. That one time to start this all. It hurts. I wasn't doing anything because the doctors orders. I thought she would respect that too. We are engaged, while not married we were going to be. Now... Now I don't know honestly." He said his voice raw and full of heartbreak. His phone rang but he didn't answer not bothering. Sabrina looked at her phone. She answered and got up. Her eyes widened "What? Of course, I'll be right there." She said and hung up. She looked at hi "Annabella is in the hospital. I got to go." She said grabbing her keys, "You need time to think. I'll update you." She said and watched as he didn't move, just tears running down his cheeks and looking at the wall. She shook her head and walked out. Soon Sabrina got to the hospital. She looked and saw Asylin "Hey, what happened? Is she and the babies ok?" She asked worried.

Ayslin hugged Sabrina instantly when she saw her. "I don't know what happened entirely. Just that she was shot and that she's in surgery. They're bringing the babies out. Oh God Sabrina. What if she dies and I never get to say I'm aorry."

Sabrina hugged her friend tightly. "It's ok. You know Annabella, she isn't a quitter. She's going to fight for you, for me, for all of us." She didn't mention Caleb sic e Asylin probably didn't know what happened. "She's got two babies to care for now. She knows she can't leave them. It'll be ok." She said looking at her "It's going to be ok Asylin."

Ayslin hugged her friend tightly, then finally pulled away and wiped her eyes. "But what if she gives up? Maybe she's just so tired of fighting." After a moment of glancing around she looked at Sabrina again. "Where's Caleb?"

Sabrina but her lip. It's true. After Caleb's and hers fight she might now seem to have a reason to keep going. She sighed and sat down. "It's a long story. " she started. Then she told her about the fight, and everything she had heard from what Caleb told her, and what Annabella said to Caleb. Finally she finished "Caleb had to get some air. He couldn't cry in front of her like I saw him. He's so devastated. Like... He understands that she was blackmailed, but the fact she let it happen the first time, it tore him apart, that should have been him, but Caleb was waiting because of doctors orders. He felt bad because he feels like because he was working she needed someone else there. He was just thing to save up for a honeymoon for all of them. Who knows where he is or what he's doing now. He doesn't even know, and I don't know if I should tell him. This is just a mess." She said sighing

Ayslin stood frozen as she stared at Sabrina. "Oh god..oh my god.." She had more tears in her eyes. "Oh God Caleb.." She shook her head and then lightly touched her stomach as she groaned. "God I'm going to be sick." She leaned against the wall and took a few deep breathes, then looked at Sabrina. "Annabella isn't going to wake up. She probably felt like Caleb was never going to forgive her. Like she had nothing left. Oh my god my little sister is going to die because some idiot broke into their house and shot her." Tears streamed down her cheeks and she hurried into the nearest bathroom and got sick, murmuring to herself. "I have to calm down, this isn't good for my baby." Taking a few deep breathes she flushed the toilet and rinsed out her mouth and then washed her face and wiped it down. After a few moments she came back to Sabrina and sniffled slightly as she rubbed her stomach. She was only about 7 weeks and had just found out. She hadn't even told Grayson yet. He was going to freak out. She'd been on her way home to tell him when she had gotten the call.

"Are you ok?" She asked as Ayslin came back. "Do you feel alright? And... I just don't know what to do. She has to wake up, for her kids. Annabella wouldn't leave them, she loves Jessica and Andrew so much, she knows how much they need her. As for Caleb... I know he loves her. He loves her so much that this has all been such a shock and so emotional. I haven't ever seen him cry this much. Cry, be this emotional over anything. He really had thinks planned out. Heck he had taken tonight off to talk to her about the wedding, to just spend time with her and the kids. But you can see where that went..." She trailed off tears in her eyes. She looked over at Asylin noticing the hand in her stomach "Are you ok?"

Ayslin nodded her head and took a deep breath. "Yeah I'm okay. This whole thing is upsetting my stomach plus I'm pregnant so that doesn't help either. I just found out 30 minutes ago. I was on my way to tell Grayson when I got the call." Running her hand through her hair she shook her head. "You said she mentioned something about a Zoey and how she had spotty memory? What happened there?"
