Looking at hie daughters, nieces and Wife, he smiled at them for a moment "How are all of you? Sorry for not getting here earlier, had issues with a new client..." he said with an apologetic look.

@King Tai
all but 1 said they were fine and Ella just left the room, still feeling sick and dizzy.

"Otay," Alex said to Tianna, and when his father got their, "Daddy!"
"We both know that's not true, you wouldn't have pushed Tony away if you were OK." Avary said sitting in a chair.

Katherin hugged Joel as she walked passed him to follow Ella.
"We'll be right back" she said as she followed after her "Ella..."

[carla6677]

@Lady Hestia
Ella ignored her mother, she couldn't take it anymore.
The others looked at the door to the room, shocked

@carla6677@Lady Hestia

smiling, Joel went to check Selena but then saw Ella leaving and Katherin came over hugging him as he hugged back but was wondering what was going on "Alright, What's wrong with Ella?" he asked.

@Overlord24

looking down at little Alex "hey there big guy!" he said going over to pick him up "How are you?"

[Overlord24]

@King Tai @Carla6677
"Hey Dad." Avary said as he got up and followed his mother.
"Where they goin?" Alex asked.

[carla6677]

@King Tai
"Ella has just been having problems" The 4 older girls that are not Ella or Tianna say.
Ella kept running.
Tianna kept holding Alex but passed him to her dad. "They are going to see your sister."

[Lady Hestia]

@carla6677
Katherin caught up to Ella and grabbed her hand.
"Okay, Ella I think it's time we talk. your stressing yourself out.
It won't be good for you or the little one"
she said glancing at her belly.

@Overlord24

Looking over at Avary after Alex was passed to his arms, he greeted his other son "Hi son." he said while looking at the girls.

@carla6677

"Problems? what kind of problems?" Joel asked the girls

[carla6677]

@Lady Hestia
Ella had tears rolling down her cheeks. "I don't want them" she suddenly screamed, making a mistake by saying them. "I can't cope with kids" She made another plural mistake.
The others heard the scream. "She needs to tell you herself" The 4 said.

[Overlord24]

@carla6677@King Tai
"OK," Alex said, and then to his father, "I's good Daddy."
"Ella!" Avary yelled as he ran to his sister. "Don't leave, Selene needs you, Katrina needs you, Sarah needs you, Alex needs you, Lianne needs you, Tianna needs you, and I need you. Don't you see? You are the strongest of us, we all need you."

[carla6677]

@Overlord24
"No I am not, can't you see, I have changed" Ella told him. "I am the weakest of you all" Ella was crying
The others couldn't hear anything now

@Overlord24@carla6677@Lady Hestia

Joel smiled at Alex for his son's positive attitude. When he heard the screaming, he went out to where Ella and Katherin was and followed Avary "What is going on?" Joel asked. he haven't really had time lately to check on the kids regularly because of a recent project. "Ella what's the matter, why are you behaving like this?" he asked concerned. walking up closer with Alex in his hand.

[Lady Hestia]

@carla6677
"Oh Sweetie" She said as she hugged, realizing her daughter was having twins.
"I wasn't ready either, When I found out I was pregnant. I panicked and was scared."
She said, as thought when she was 18 and pregnant. "I didn't think, I could do it.
But when you and your brother was born, I was so happy. Beside your not gonna go through this alone."

[carla6677]

@Lady Hestia@King Tai@Overlord24
"It was okay for you though wasn't it, you weren't broken, depressed, you were normal and happy, I can't do it" She sunk to the floor, finally completely breaking down. The sleeves covering her wrist rolled up and showed the scars on her wrist.

[Overlord24]

@carla6677
"No you aren't," Avary said, and then lowering his voice to a whisper, "I haven't ever told anyone, not Mom, not Dad, not any of you, not even Ren, but I'm broken. I don't remember for how long, but I am."
Alex has nothing to say.

[carla6677]

@Overlord24@Lady Hestia@King Tai
Ella was on a heap on the floor, crying and sobbing. She had bottled up her depression for many years but this was her breaking point. Her scars were fully visible.
My girls except Ella stayed with Selene.

[Overlord24]

@carla6677
Then Avary did something he hadn't done since he was Alex's age, he bent down to where Ella was, and hugged her.
Alex was scared of what was going on, so he buried his head into his father's chest.

Listening to the conversation, Joel was quiet until he heard Katherin say something that he thought he was hearing things wrong. But when Ella responded to what he mother said, it had to be true. "pregnant? wait....she's pregnant, Ella you're pregnant!?" he said shocked while looking at his oldest daughter, wife and his older son. "When the hell did this happen?" he asked shocked and a bit upset. "Ella...sweetheart...who got you pregnant? is it that boy....Tony?" he asked while putting Alex down.
