Zoey and Alexis were at the hospital. Her water broke that morning. She begged for the doctors to wait for Drew and thankfully he arrived on time to see the birth of his twin boys: Michael and Jayden Stevenson, born December 12 at 7:14 PM. They were identical twins and born with dark brown hair like their mother. He held Michael while she held Jayden. The only way to tell them apart was by this little birthmark that Jayden had under his arm. They were beautiful bundles of joy and Alexis was ecstatic about her new brothers. Mother and boys were released to go home two days later and Drew never left their side. He even canceled a few matches so that he could stay home with them and he had given Rita a few weeks off. Even though she was like family, she too needed a break before she was to take on two newborns AND Alexis but Alexis promised to help her with the boys. They were all happy and things were falling right into place until Zoey received an envelope in the mail one day while Drew was on the road. It hadn't even been a month since the boys were born and she was already getting garbage. She was sitting in the living watching some TV and doing some work on her laptop while the boys laid asleep in their respective bassinets and Alexis was sitting down playing her on her new leapfrog laptop that she got from Christmas. She opened the envelope and it was a picture. Anger set in but she didn't allow it to show while she was with the kids. When Drew got home from work, she allowed him to settle in, get situated. They spent the entire evening laughing and acting like nothing was wrong. They enjoyed dinner and even some TV with Alexis. The kids were all sound asleep as they got ready for bed. She slipped into her nightgown and sat donw on the bed while he put on a pairof shorts. She opened up the drawer to the nightstand and pulled out the envelope. She tossed it toward his side of the bed and asked, "Who's Carmen Valentine?" [tbc by drew] |
