Welcome To The Family.

It has been a few days since the man broke into Zackys house, the police still haven't found him, I knew they wouldn't find him, they never have, it's his job, he gets hired to kill people, he's basically a professional hitman, it was my late mother's boyfriend, I knew he done this stuff for fun as well, and I also knew if I went to the police and told them, he'd just get someone to finish the job, it was no use.

I sat on the guest room bed, I was biting my fingers, not being able to sleep, both my kids were fast asleep in their travel cots, both of them were snoring away. I could just drop off the face of this earth, I could get a new identity, move to a different state with my kids, but how would I explain all that to everyone, as far as they know it was just a guy trying to steal.

I got up and walked into the bathroom, I looked in the mirror and looked at my purple and blue eye, there was a cut along my forehead as well, I shook my head and washed my face, I looked terrible, I was physically and mentally drained. The guys are going on tour soon, I have a someone trying to kill me, how the hell am I meant to look after two babies? I brought my fist down to meet the tiles next the sinks, I let out a frustrated groan.

I walked back into the bedroom Zacky and Layla were awake, they were probably wanting there milk, I left them to entertain each other so I could quickly run down stairs and make there bottles, I opened up my bag and pulled out two bottles and formula milk, I walked down stairs and found Matt and Val cuddle up on the sofa watching films.

"Sorry, I just need to" I waved the bottles and formula milk in the air. "That's okay, do you need a hand?" Matt asked, I was about to say yes but I looked at Val and she was shaking her head no, Matt seen that I noticed, he was about to say something but I bet him to it "It's okay, I'll manage, just you enjoy your night" I smiled at him, he was wanting to prettiest but he never got the chance, Val had started to make out with him.

I walked into the kitchen and made the bottles, I grabbed both bottles when they were done, I left the tub of formula sitting on the counter, I'm sure Matt won't mind, I walked through to the living room, Val was sitting on Matt's lap, they were both still making out, they never acknowledged me so I just walked back upstairs, Layla was crying and what it seemed like, Zacky was trying to calm her down by putting his foot on her face and making shushing noises, I laughed a little, I picked both of them up and sat them on the king sized bed, propping their heads up on two pillows, I started to feed them, they both soon drifted to sleep, I picked them up and out them back in their cot, one after another, Making sure to hug them tightly before I did, I was sat alone again.

I was lost in thought until something clicked, I could call Nick, he knew Derek, and he hated him, there was no other man on this planet that hated him more than Nick, I would give him a call at a reasonable time, I better try and get some sleep.

I was drifting in and out of consciousness, too scared to actually sleep, I looked at the time, it was coming up half eight, I looked at my babies who were wide awake, I got out of bed, struggling to keep my eyes open, I pulled on a pair of skinny jeans, they were started to feel loose around my waist, I was losing weight again, I grabbed a t-shirt, which looked like it was drowning me, I picked up both my babies and walked downstairs, I could smell coffee coming from the kitchen, I walked in and saw Matt and Jimmy sitting.

"Hey, Sienna, you alright?" Jimmy asked, his eyes were big and so was a smile, very few things put that man out of his good mood. "I'm fine Jimmy, just a bit tired is all" Matt looked up at me with worried eyes, "Can I hold Zacky?" Matt asked and I nodded my head, he stood up and took Zacky from my right arm, Jimmy looked excited, he stood up and clapped his hands together "Coming to see uncle Jimmy?" He reached down and took Zacky from Matt's arms, Matt rolled his eyes and I let out a lazy laugh "Here, let me see her" Matt took Layla and they both sat down with them, making baby noises at them.

"You need to sleep Sienna, how are you meant to watch children whilst you're walking around like a zombie" I grabbed a coffee and sat down "I'm fine and I'll manage, I do sleep, it's just not for very long" Matt stared at me with worry still in his eyes but I looked away, I felt guilty, he was right, how the hell will I manage.

"The guys are coming over soon, we need to discuss some stuff about the tour and that" Matt made hand gesture in the air.

I walked through to the living room, I sat on the sofa and turned the TV on, I couldn't find anything that I was interested in so I ended up just clicking through all the channels. Both the guys walked in, babies in their arms.

"Just sit them on the rug, I'll give them some soft toys" they lay them side to side and commented on how cute they are, I grabbed some toys from the side of the couch and sat them next to them.

I flopped back onto the sofa, not saying a word, I was exhausted, maybe I could nap on the sofa, I was staring at Matt, he was putting his Xbox on, Jimmy grabbed two controllers handing one to Matt, they sat down in front of Zacky and Layla, who were smiling at their uncles.

I grabbed the blanket from the back of the sofa and curled up into a ball with it, I lay my head down on one of the cushions, I was soon surrounded in darkness, I mentally let out a sigh of relief.

I woke up with someone barging through the door, I jumped up from the sofa and screamed. "Sienna" Jimmy grabbed both my arms, I was looking around frantically, the sweat was already dripping off my face "Sienna, listen to me it's just the guys, okay, just the guys" I looked passed Jimmy, I saw Zacky in the doorway, next to him was Brian and Johnny.

Brian walked over to me "You're okay, Sienna" He pulled me into a hug, my heart was still racing, he pulled away and looked at me, I wiped the sweat away from my brow, I looked over to Matt who was now joined with Zacky, they were both trying to calm the babies down "Shit" I said to myself, feeling guilty that I scated them, I walked over to them, Zacky was holding Layla, she was struggling to keep her eyes open,she let out a small smile and then her eyes fell shut.

"I better take them upstairs so then they don't get disturbed" Zacky looked at me "I'll help, I'll take Layla" I nodded my head and took Zacky from Matt, we climbed the stairs and got into my now bedroom, we lay them in their cot, Zacky looked like he was about to speak but I stopped him "Not the now, I'm far too tired and I just want to be left alone" I held my hands up and he nodded his head "At least come and sit with us" I thought for a moment "I was going to anyway" I grabbed the baby monitor and headed downstairs, I sat the monitor on the coffee table.

"Okay so, Sienna" Matt spoke, I nodded my head not looking at him "When we're away, if you want, you can stay here with the babies?" I didn't say anything I just nodded my head.

The guys were talking about the tour, the more they talked about it the more they were getting excited and the more I was getting scared, I sat up, I remembered I was going to call Nick, I excused myself from the guys and walked upstairs.

I pulled my phone out and started to call his number, on the second ring he picked up "Nick here" I leet out a shaky breath, not know how to out anything into words "Nick.. I.. Hey" I finally managed to get out.

"Sienna? Hey! Oh my god how are you, how have you been?" Nick was always nice, kind, polite, I bit on my lip and scratches my face.

"I'm.. I'm good, I have two little babies now" I laughed awkwardly "twins" I finished he let out a gasp "That's.. That's brilliant, so you're a mommy now, congratulations!" He let out a laugh which made me smile.

"Nick.. the reason I phoned.." my fingers found its way to my eye, I touched it slightly "It's.. it's Derek" I let out another shaky breath and waited for his reply, I could hear him take deep breaths "Get out my fucking office" I heard him yelling at someone, they must have done as they were told because I heard a door slam shut.

"What the fuck did he do to you" I let out a sob, remember what he had done, I remember the gun pressing against my head.

"He.. I don't know.. He found where I was staying, he just.. oh god.." I let out another sob, trying to keep it silent.

"Sienna, did he hurt you? when did this happen?" I could tell he was angry, but his voice remained calm, I found comfort in it, I rubbed my head "It happened a few nights ago, I was in by myself with the kids, I can't remember the time, I think it was two in the morning, he.. Oh god.. he held a gun to my head" I was crying, but trying to not make it apparent.

"That fucking cunt, Jesus Christ Sienna, why the fuck did you not phone me sooner?" I let out a cry "I.. I am so sorry Nick, I'm scared, my friends are leaving in less that a month, I'm going to be left by myself, I'm not sleepjng.. oh god.. Nick.. I just" I let out another cry.

"Sienna, tell me you're address, I'll send two of my best guys over, I'll come over myself if you want, you never told the police did you? You never said his name" I shook my head no "Of course not, I would be dead already, but thank you Nick, thank you so much, I'll text you the address" I smiled to myself,Nick would make it better, he would protect me. I ended the call and fell back onto my bed.
