Gen 2 - Chapter 14: The Rebel

Since the whole bullying incident a few months ago Kayleigh has been doing great at school, her grades have shot up and she seems a lot happier in herself. I'm glad it has all been sorted and that she can finally be a teenager, and not have to worry. Her and Kitty have become even closer, and are always out on their scooters.

We are having a small family party for the twins on Saturday, just me, Jacob and Kayleigh. I can't believe they will be starting school in a week, they grow up so fast. Work has been going great too, I was promoted to Specialist, and now work from 10AM until 4PM, which is great as I get home in time to get dinner prepared and spend the evening with my family, catching up on every one's days.

Kayleigh had offered to babysit tonight so that me and Jacob could spend some time together, just us on our own. I thought it was a really nice offer and agreed that she could invite Kitty over to keep her company. I spoke to Jacob about it, and we decided to go to our favourite restaurant for a romantic meal.

I showered and changed into my new dress that I bought on sale last week, and some high black shoes to match. Although I was nearing Forty I still thought I looked good, even after three children. I slowly made my way downstairs while Jacob finished getting ready, as I headed into the living room I heard Kayleigh on the phone giggling, I guess she must be talking to Kitty. I waited for her to finish before giving her the emergency numbers and said that we shouldn't be back no later than half eleven.

Jacob came down in a gorgeous cream suit, he looked so handsome. We shouted bye and headed off to the restaurant.

Once there we thought we could sit outside as it was a gorgeous night. We both ordered the special, which was Stu Surprise, as usual the meals were delicious, we have always loved it whenever we have been here in the past, and had an exceptional night. We ordered some drinks and chatted while we waited.

After four or five drinks I was starting to feel a little light headed and our talk was getting a little heavy, so I suggested we head home. Jacob called a taxi and we snuggled closer while we waited, as the air had tuned a little chilly. Ten minutes later the taxi turned up, we climbed in and gave the driver our address.

We arrived home a little after 11:30, Jacob went upstairs to check on the twins while I headed into the living room to see what Kayleigh was up to. I heard the dishwasher, so went to check, as I went through the door I saw Kayleigh placing the dirty plates in there. "Hi Kay, did you and Kitty have a good night?" I asked. " Uh...Yeah...it was fun, we watched a couple of films." she replied. I was about to reply when I heard the roar of a motorbike outside......probably just a neighbour or someone just passing I thought. "When you have finished washing up, you had better head off to bed" I told her before heading up myself.

I peeked my head around the twins bedroom door and found them both sleeping soundly, my little angels. I washed the make-up off my face before joining Jacob in bed. The twins party was tomorrow, so I had to be up early to get everything ready.

The twins must have been excited, as their had me up at 6AM wanting their breakfast. I scooped them up and took them downstairs to their highchairs and gave them some cereal, I grabbed a bowl too as I waited for them to finish.

Once they had finished I cleared their bowls away and took them upstairs to get them washed and dressed. Jacob was going to take them to the park for a hour while I got the place ready for their little party. I was in the middle of blowing up the balloons when Kayleigh appeared in the living room, "Mum, is it OK if I bring a...uh...friend to the party?" she asked, "Sure it is Kay" I replied, maybe she was bringing a boy. "Great, I'm going out for a bit, but I'll be back in time for the party" she said before rushing out the door.

I managed to get all the decorations finished just as Jacob and the twins arrived home, we waited a while for Kayleigh, but after an hour and still no sign of her I headed indoors to phone her. Just as the phone started ringing I heard a bike pull into the drive, I placed the phone back onto the hook just as Kayleigh and her...friend came walking in the front door.

I eyed him suspiciously before telling Kayleigh that I wanted words with her later, I wasn't going to ruin the twins party. I headed back out to the garden so that the twins could blow out their candles, I could see that Jacob wasn't happy with Kayleigh's friend being there, I stood beside him and placed my hand reassuringly on his shoulder, and told him I would sort it later. I could see him relax a little, so suggested we got on with the celebrations.

We watched as the twins blew out their candles one after the other. All my children were beautiful, Mason seemed to take after me and like Kayleigh, Melody was just like her father.

I turned to ask Kayleigh to go indoors and collect some plates only to find that she wasn't there, and neither was her friend....hmm I wondered where she had gone. I headed indoors to see if I could find her, I could hear giggling coming from her room. I called up, but got no answer so I headed up....I was going to knock on the door, but when I heard her moan "Oh Alex." I knew I had to know what they were up too now. I opened the door and when I saw them on the bed in their underwear I knew I wouldn't be able to control the anger that was about to be unleashed.

Stay tuned for chapter 15 :)
