It's been a week since the incident and I've been back and forth between Nova at Theo's house and Karter at my cabin. Things have been tense between the three of us. Karter refuses to come back and Nova wants to see Karter. I've asked so many times this week if he was ready to see her, she cried herself to sleep since she misses him so much. I miss him so much having both my beloveds with me.

No matter how hard I try to get Karter to even stay at his parents house so I don't have to travel far incase something happens with Nova. But he refuses and says nothing will happen to her. I know he can feel how much she is sorry, I know he can feel how much he misses her, but he still won't come back.

"Why do you always look so down? Smile...please?" Karter looked up at me. I sat on the sofa reading while Karter laid with his head in my lap.

"I don't want to talk about it right now Karter." I sighed knowing it'll only end up in a screaming match.

"Alaric." He sighed.

"Don't 'Alaric' me Karter. Please don't start." I rolled my eyes trying to read.

"Then smile, please." He huffed.

"How can I smile or be happy when both my beloveds aren't? Karter I love you so much, but don't you think this is getting ridiculous now? It's beyond stupid, all Nova wants to do is apologise and not stop until things are the way it was." I shrugged having enough of this shit. I just want to be back at the house in bed with both of the loves of my life in my arms.

"Alaric-," Karter sat up.

"I know, I know. You can't face her yet. That's all I've heard. She's struggling without us both there all the time. She needs you Karter." I told him.

"I'm going to see her. I'll see you later." I stood up and pecked his lips.

"Please don't leave." Karter begged holding my wrist.

"Than come with me." I stated.

"I can't." He whispered.

"I'll be back tomorrow morning okay. But I need to be with Nova." I told him. I kissed him again making sure he knows how much I love him.

We said our goodbyes and left the cabin.

Nova laid her head on my lap as she napped. All she's been doing is crying, my heart hurts for her. Yet I can't help but feel disappointed in her for saying the things she said to Karter. Tommy isn't happy at all and has tried coaxing Karter home from the cabin but hasn't had any luck.

Never have I felt this much disappointment in any of my children, but I also can't help but feel sympathy for Nova. What she did was wrong, Eli and I made sure to tell her that and she kept apologising until she couldn't breath from how much she was saying sorry and crying.

Now a week later all she does is apologise and cry. She's missing Karter and that's a fact. She apologises to the wrong people and I think she really hopes Karter will feel and know how sorry she is. I don't know how he's managed to stay a week without seeing her or at least let her apologise. I can barely stay away from Eli for half an hour let alone a week after an argument.

A small whimper pulled me from my thoughts as I looked down at my daughter. Her face seemed to be in pain, her eyebrows furrowed as she thrashed around.

"Hey, Shh, Shh, Shh. It's okay." I cradled her head and kissed her forehead. Her sobs filled the silent room getting the attention of her Kobe and Eli.

"Karter." Nova called out. Her eyes still closed letting me know she was still asleep. "I no want you to leave. P-please, please don't go." She sobbed. I didn't know what to do other than hold her.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Nova screamed out. I could see Eli and Kobe visibly tense from the strong cries of Nova. Another scream of a cry sounded as nova kept thrashing. I kept kissing her head and speaking comforting words to her, trying to coax her to wake up.

"Nova, princess you have to wake up." I called out to her. Her eyes opened as she sat up and looked around the room.

"Karter? Where's Karter?" She looked at me, her sobs still loud.

"I don't know darling." I sighed brushing her hair down.

"I just want him dada." Nova cried and laid her head into my chest. "I'm so sorry dada, I didn't mean it. I hurt Karter, I didn't mean it. I don't like it anymore. It hurts dada."

"Shh, it's alright princess." I told her softly and rocked her. Alaric burst through the door clearly sensing his beloveds stress.

"It's okay baby, I'm here." He pulled her into his arms which only made her cry harder.

"I don't like it 'Laric. I want Karter."

"I know baby. We just have to give him time." He sighed kissing her head and holding her tightly.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry 'Laric. Please get Karter, I just want Karter. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." She cried out.

"Breath baby. Nova you need to breath, okay? I need you to breath for me." Alaric held her cheeks so she would look at him and get her breathing to a reasonable level. Her face was red from crying and irregular breaths.

She shook her head. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Karter, I'm really sorry. I no mean it, I'm sorry."

"He knows baby. He knows. But you need to breath so we can tell him okay. Take deep breaths with me please baby." Alaric begged. With that he took deep breaths for Nova to follow. Once she had calmed down to soft, small hiccups, Nova laid on Alaric's chest sniffling.

"I'm really sorry 'Laric." Nova whispered.

"I know baby." He told her with a kiss to her forehead.

I just wish Karter would come back so she doesn't think he doesn't love her anymore. I know he does, his love for the girl is like mine with Eli...unbreakable. He just needs time and I understand that, I just wish he'd give Nova some reassurance he won't leave her.

Because she loves the two men with her whole being and so much more.
