Secret Attraction

[melbender]

First topic message reminder :

"No there's no phone signal strong enough for a call.. I'm sorry about the island, i just don't know how to run one or know what to do." I admitted ashamed "Maybe you could help me, even after we leave here?"

[melbender]

"I love you more than words can describe." I smiled back, leaning into him for a kiss when the door opened and Noah answered it.

"This should be an interesting night. Shall I knock you flat on your arse now? Or later?"

I glared at my brother "you know what, forget it.. Let's go-" I muttered until Noah rolled his eyes.

"lighten up, I'm joking." He grinned, then smiled at our kids  "Come inside. Jase is outside with Ruby and Oliver if you want to go play."

[Demona]

I watched the kids run inside and walked in with lily ignoring Noah. Serena came running to me hugged me tightly "hey lil sis" she slapped me and started crying again i hugged her "it's okay i'm here and i'm not leaving anymore" we walked to the dining room and i kissed ally's cheek and shook steven's hand. I was waiting him to say something but he didn't. Serena went to sit next to Noah and that's when i noticed her bump "you're pregnant?" I asked her with a smile

"Yes i'm 3 months pregnant" she said grinning
"Congratulations. "

[melbender]

"Dinner smells great." I pointed out as I followed behind mason, hoping things would be ok tonight here.

Ally smiled "can you help your father set the table, I haven't had a chance to do it."

"Sure." I reached for the cutlery "knives or forks?" I asked dad.

[Demona]

Steven started setting the tables with lily "are you happy?"

Mason sat accross from serena and noah. "Serena stop looking so worried" he said softly "i'm okay, and i'm not going anywhere again i can promise you that"

Steven heard and went to face him "really? Didn't you promise lily that before disappearing again? You didn't even see the kids growing! You don't know what they like and what they don't. What kind of father is that? I'm not saying i'm better but you? You are worse than i ever was! I just wish she would see how damaged you are and how bad for her you are. You don't ddeserve her! She should be with someone better than you"

Mason looked at lily and stood up "i know she does, and i gave her a choice and chose to stay with me you know why? Because she knows what she means to me and she knows i would never hurt her purposefully! And you know what steven i'm getting tired of this. I know you want me to leave her but that is not going to happen so take a break and let us be for once!"

[melbender]

"The kids are eating outside, they want to go swimming afterwards." Lily said walking back indoors to see Mason and her father looking heated. "What's going on?"

"What do you think?" Noah scoffed. "You can't be surprised by this can you?"

Lily took her seat besides Mason and looked up "you wouldn't understand. None of you understand."

"We understand clearly. We were the ones watching you barely able to get out of bed when he died.. then when you had Jake-"

"Don't you dare mention anything about him." She shot back angrily. "You don't speak about my son because none of you know what it felt like to loose a child that way."

"How about we talk about something else." Ally suggested bringing a tray of pizza over.

Noah smirked "sure, when's the remodelling happening? I mean remember how you and lily ducked all over dad and mums place, half the house was renovated.. I'm only imagining what yours must be like after lily had that new honeymoon faze love with Luke.. the bedroom.. Christ, I would burn the bed." Noah taunted.

I glared, my anger reaching its limit as I calmly spoke back "were selling the house."

"Christ, that bad huh?"

"Actually, I never slept with him nor was there any other men.. I didn't even kiss him and we never shared a bed. Luke never once stayed in the house." I admitted. "How could i when my heart belongs to someone else. He kissed my cheek and that was it." I smiled "so I can honestly say, the man I married is the only man who's had his cock inside me and tongue down my throat."

[Demona]

Steven looked at her eyes wide "watch your tongue lily!"

Mason cleared his throat. He was so relieved nothing ever happened with luke and it was showing all over his face. "Now that we have that out i'm kindly asking you to stop yelling at her for being with me or making her feel bad. I'm sure if someone tried to take Ally from you you'd have him killed in seconds, who tells you i won't do the same? Just please all of you stay out of our lives. Either you support her decision and stop acting like morons or you don't and we never set foot here again. It's that simple"

[melbender]

"Please?" I looked at my parents, begging them to believe how much we really did love one another.

Noah stared in disbelief "you were going to marry a guy and you hadn't even kissed? I think you two are best splitting up. Dad, how can you sit there and listen to this jerk try and defend his actions."

[Demona]

"Defend my actions? I haven't even started defending my actions because i owe no one an explanation except my wife. And she already knows everything... what about you Noah? It's been what 7 years? You have a kid and another one on the way and you still haven't proposed! And you know how much she dreamed about her wedding, just like any girl in love would. So before throwing pebbles remember that your windows are made from glass too."

[melbender]

"Well what can I say Mason," Noah smirked "you've put me off marriage." He stood up pushing his plate aside "im sorry-" he stared at lily "don't fucking have anymore kids to that bastard. He'll ruin your life even more.. I'll be outside. I refuse to be near that cock sucker."

Finns girlfriends eyes went wide "oh my god.. did you like really turn gay in prison! Was you the girl or man? That's so hot!"

[Demona]

"Noah!!" Serena glared at him getting up "i'm staying at my dad's tonight!" She stood up and looked at Ally "i'm sorry Ally. And mason i'm glad you're finally home" she hugged him tightly before leaving the house and going at Jason's.

Mason looked at finn's girlfriend frowning "what?" He looked at lily and was about to say something when steven spoke up.

"You're right. I would kill for my wife and kids. And i understand why you had to disappear but you promised you had left it all behind but kept going back. I can't support her decision Mason because i don't trust you anymore. I know you love her but i can't trust you. She's my daugjtee and j would do anything to protect her. I can't make her leave you, but i can give you a warning that this is the last time you ever walk out on her or disappear. You keep breaking her like that and she'll be broken for good"

"I understand. And i can give you my word that this was the last time. I'm not doing anything for them anymore. But what do you mean you're not supporting her decision? I told you i'm not leaving her so if that's what you want forget it. She thought about it, she's a grown woman and she made her choice. I won't let anyone pressure her into leaving me"

"Well you don't have to let anyone because no one is going to try and split you up..." steven looked at lily tears in his eyes "but i hope you're making the right decision because from this moment i'm no longer responsible for anything that happens to you. You're my daughter and you always be, and if you ever need me i'll be here, but don't expect me to go to your house or go out with you and the kids. They'll come here for me to see them and you. And i hope you don't get more kids anymore"

[melbender]

"What?? No.." I choked back. "You don't mean that.. you can't just." I couldn't speak as tears rolled down my cheeks.

Ally's heart raced as she heard Steven. "Steven. Let's not say anything else, just everyone needs to stop speaking before anything more is said."

Lily stood, not bothering to dry her eyes as she called for the kids to come inside "go to the car please, we're leaving." Looking at her father and then Mason, then back to her dad and mum again. "he's said what he needs to and you know what, it's ok. But I won't be coming back here. And my children will not be either. Believe what you want, but this is why I'm so different to you all. Everyone lives in the past, you feed on anger and hate and look how miserable it's made you. Yes Mason has hurt me, but he didn't have a choice. He never gave up hope that he would see us. I tried moving on and it didn't work. I don't want anyone else but the father of our children." I cried more, biting my lip to will myself to stop. "My life has been miserable without him and yes he's missed half the kids lives but I believe him when he tells me it's over.. that he's done for good and instead of wasting time by punishing him over something he had no control over, I'm looking ahead at our future, whether that involves more children or not, I'm not going to be around anyone who can't be thankful that Mason is alive and finally home." turning, I left the room without a word and to the car.

[Demona]

I looked at them shaking my head "you just hurt her more than i did all three times combined. Because i never had a choice, i had a gun pointed to my kids'z and wife head. But you? She's right steven, you feed on anger, and i do wish that she finds it in her to forgive you because you really mean a lot to her... and you broke her in just a few minutes." I shook my head going outside and into the car. I drove silently the whole way not believing steven would do that. I parked the car and saw that the kids were asleep "lily... i don't want you to fight with your parents because of me. I know what family means to you, i know what your father means to you. If you change your mind about me i won't stop you, at least i'll try not to, i can't see you hurting like that"

[melbender]

"I won't change my mind about us." I promised leaning over and cupping his face "We need you, and I've been thinking about everything.. let's sell the house, and just go somewhere for awhile. The kids have missed out on so much with you, let's just spend time together where you can learn them the way I do." I rested my forehead against his "I swear I never slept with another man. These lips have only been touched by yours."

[Demona]

"You don't need to swear baby, i believe you. And that makes me respect you even more, because you thought i was dead and yet you still couldn't be with someone else. It shows me how much you love me, not that i needed proof. And i can assure you that from the moment i set eyes on you at that lunch 13 years ago, i've never kissed or touched or even looked at another woman. You have my heart soul and body, i'm all yours and will always be devoted to you"

[melbender]

I melted, crushing my lips against his until I heard the kids saying "ewww gross!" Laughing as I kissed him once more before pulling away, I smiled "we have each other. We're going to be ok."

"Can we go surfing on this trip? Or is dad too old to get up on a board?" Willow teased. "We've been awake this whole time."

"I haven't taken them to the island, we could go there?"

[Demona]

I smiled nodding "glad to hear it's still up and running! Sure we can go. But i have to make that interview first, it's scheduled in the morning. We can leave tomorrow night if you want?"

[melbender]

"I think I can manage that. We can put our things in storage until we decide what to do next." I started getting out of the car, thinking about everything my dad just said to me. "i can't believe Noah was so rude to you. What he said about kids, and dad agreeing. It was disgusting when they know I can't have more."

[Demona]

We put the kids in bed and went to the backyard laying down in the tent i had built years ago. "I knew Noah would be rude, it didn't phase me. I'm more mad at your dad to be honest." I pulled her to me and wrapped an arm around her "what do you mean can't get more?"

[melbender]

I hadn't wanted to speak about this, but he didn't know. "Just there was a lot of complications, I'd gone to the hospital for a check up, they told me his heart had stopped and next thing I was delivering a dead baby hours later. I was in shock, and there was a lot of blood loss. He told me the chance of falling pregnant again was slim and suggested I have a hysterectomy." I couldn't look at him as a tear rolled down my cheek.

[Demona]

I wiped her tears away and kissed her forehead "i hope you didn't get a hysterectomy. I'm sorry i wasn't there i really am"

[melbender]

I managed a smile, curling up beside him "of course I didn't get one. We have two pretty amazing kids, I would have liked a houseful but I'm happy with them." I kissed his jaw. "And I'm extremely happy with you. You've changed so much, you're like hotter and so muscly."

[Demona]

I chuckled "yeah prison would do that. And i'm so glad i was a highly trained agent or i wouldn't have survived in there and i would have probably returned gay" i laughed playing with her hair "we will have more, you'll see. We'll try everything i promise"

[melbender]

"Id like more but I'm not getting my hopes up. It took us years to fall pregnant with Jake and look where that ended." I let out a yawn, cuddling in closer. "Are you nervous about the interview?"

[Demona]

"Yes but i'm hopeful" i smiled "no i'm not i'm nervous of what might happen afterwards because i'm going to expose a few agents. The ones that threatens me to get me to work with them"

[melbender]

I began to worry immediately "Mason. Are you saying you're going to leave again? I can't take you going again.. my heart cannot take it. Did your dad tell you I wanted to kill myself? I nearly used your gun in the safe. I was broken beyond words."
