《Silver》41

Silver's POV
It was about an hour later and everybody sat in the living room. Ethan had called Ashton and told him I was back. At first he thought Ethan was just playing a cruel joke on him until I spoke up. As soon as my voice fell upon his ears he burst into tears, phone clattering to the ground. After a few minutes of tension, the phone was picked up and another male voice filtered through the speaker. I later found out that it had been Marco, Ethan's head of security.
They had said they'd be here as fast as they could. Which according to Ashton, 'wouldn't be soon enough'. That brought out a round of tense laughter. Ashton had always been the impatient one.
It wasn't much longer after the phone had been hung up that a yawning Aidden came thudding out of his room. I can't express exactly how happy I was to see my son, safe and healthy, in that moment. For the longest time I sat on the floor crying as I clutched Aidden, Rhys, and Jasmine to my chest. My heart was overfilled with my love and happiness. Ethan had just watched us with tear clouded eyes. I don't think he knew what to do in that situation but that was fine with me. All I cared about was that we were all safe within the confines of this house.
Now, nearly an hour later, we all sat in the living room. Marco and Ashton sat on a sofa against the wall. Ethan sat in a chair he had pulled up to his coffee table. While Rhys, Jasmine and me sat on his couch that outlined the opposite side of the table, mirroring the sofa. Aidden refused to leave my side so he lay asleep in my lap.

It was Marco who finally broke the silence.
"Tell us what happened, please."
So I did just that. I explained how I had been abducted from the false hospital when I woke up. I explained how Rhys had treated me and presented to explain how he got caught up in the mess.
"Ethan, I have something I need to tell you. But first I must ask," I began suddenly worried about how he would take the news of three more children. "Would you be willing to add three more kids to your family?"
"Who are you talking about? Rhys and Jasmine?" He asked, looking slightly confused looking between the two.
"Yeah. Rhys and Jasmine." I evaded looking down slightly as I drew in a deep breath. "And another baby."
Ethan began choking on air as he inhaled his breath slightly too fast. His face turned whiter than his walls as he tried to steady his breathing. "You mean?" he whispered, looking at me in shock.
"I'm pregnant, Ethan" I confirmed blinking rapidly trying to make the tears stop falling.
"I'm going to be a dad again?" He asked, looking slightly lost as his gaze fell towards my stomach. Slowly he made his way from the chair to my side. Grabbing Aidden he gently moves him over until he can grab me, pulling me to stand by him.
"Yes. If you'll have us." I replied gently separating us so I could properly look in his eyes.
"What do you mean, 'If you'll have us'? Of course I want you guys!" He exclaimed frowning as he looked down in confusion.
"I mean all of us." I explained, gesturing to Rhys. Jasmine, Aidden, and myself. If he couldn't accept Rhys and Jasmine into the family then he wouldn't get any of us. I couldn't let them leave after all they risked to help me.

"Silver," Ethan began stopping briefly as Ashton and Marco made their way out of the room, effectively giving us privacy. "If taking Jasmine and Rhys as my children is what it takes to make a family with you then I will do that. It just makes our family that much bigger. And I don't mind the extra children to feed or take care of. These two have done more to help you since you were kidnapped than I could. And to me that means everything. I would take in all the children in the world, if it meant you would stay by my side."
"I get that I may not be saying this correctly and I apologize. I'm not saying that I won't love these two, I'm just saying that as long as you are with me I will be able to handle them. Because as long as you have faith that I will be a good father, then I will be fine. Your confidence in me is all I need to get through the changes of more children."
I felt the tears I had been suppressing fall gently from my eyes. "Oh Ethan." I silently comment before throwing myself into his arms.
Hugging him to me I couldn't help but feel pride well up inside me. Within the last few months, Ethan had grown into such a good father. He adapted to having a child to take care of and juggling his whole life in such a short amount of time.
Turning to Rhys and Jasmine I embrace them too. I felt their happiness as they pulled me closer. Finally they had a family after everything that had happened. Rhys was the first to pull back and as I saw the look upon his face I grew worried.
"What are we going to do about Boss though?" Rhys demanded, scared as his face clouded over. "I don't mean to ruin this happy moment but I also don't want to get my hopes up too high before they get shattered around me."
"Let me worry about that...son." Ethan persists, grabbing his shoulder in a calm manner. "I will make sure that he never harms you or anyone in our family again."
"How?" He demanded looking dubious.
"Well, if you could give us a name I can make sure he never sees the light of day again." Marco's voice filtered throughout the room as he suddenly made his appearance known to us again.
