Sage's POV
I haven't talked to Taylor for two weeks. He had the nerve to tell me that he doesn't care about my mother, well I don't care that he should wallow in his self pity. Alone.
Now because I don't talk to my mother, and my father won't be around for long, I won't have any family to introduce my children to.
My eyes fog thinking about it. I get really emotional whenever I think about my father leaving. I've stayed with him at the hospital every day since our argument, and now I don't want to go home, afraid of having to face Taylor and risking being conned into forgiving him. My father doesn't mind me staying here with him. He better not, I'm far too hormonal to give a damn and way too tired to make an effort to find somewhere else to stay.
I still talk to Sergio and Taylor's siblings. Mostly to his siblings via message or FaceTime. According to Sophia, I am very much missed helping them with their homework and taking them to the park before dinner. They always want me to show my stomach over camera, and it's hilarious once I see their reaction to how big I am getting. Two babies growing inside of you at once apparently makes a significant difference in a matter of weeks. Two to be specific.
I do miss Taylor, but I've missed him for weeks. The girls never tell me how he is doing. I don't bother to ask. I don't want to hear that he is doing fine while I feel like the only person I have to rely on is dying on the hospital bed that's held in the room next to my temporary one, just like his.
I should be with Taylor. I would be if he hadn't messed it up for both of us. He hasn't even tried to opoligize. What he said was unacceptable, no matter the circumstances. Ever since he said that, I held no respect towards him. I love him so much but I will not let my feelings be ignored. It's absolutely outrageous that he had the nerve of saying what he did after ignoring me for weeks.
"Good morning Sage." My father greets me as I walk into the room.
"Good morning Dad." I smile weakly. I don't have much energy for anything now-a-days.
"What are your plans for today? You should get out of here, not that I don't love your company. Take the girls out to do something. You don't have to see Taylor." I wince when he says his name. He thinks what he said was wrong and he needs to apologize, but he also says we need to get our "shit" together before the babies come.
"I'll probably do that." I tell him. He's been reminding me to get a life since the second day I stayed here.
"Good. Now get out of here. I have to talk to Sergio about his asshole of a son." He jokes and shoos me out of the room.
I do exactly as told and call Amaliana to get her sisters together and get ready for a girls day. I still have Taylor's black card, he hasn't asked for it, but I don't use it. I continue to use my debit card that is seriously being drained as the days pass. I never realized how much I was paying for three smoothies a day until I actually saw how fast I was running out of money. I can get a job now that Taylor isn't breathing down my neck.

Sophia hugs my legs as soon as I get out of the car and puts her hand on my belly and giggles.
"Apa' is going to flip when he sees how big you are." She smiles amused.
"Thanks for the compliment." I tease. "Where are your sisters?" I look at the staircase where Sophia was waiting all bundled up.
"They're inside." She says and I momentarily freeze. I don't want to face Taylor if he happens to be in there. He knows I haven't tried to talk to him. "Amaliana says she wants you to help pick out her outfit." And she drags me by my hand inside the house.
Walking into the entrance, I panic when the whole household attacks me into a hug. Everybody but Taylor.
I try not to pay attention to it though. He's probably at work.
