Coming Home For Christmas

Chapter 69 - Sisterly Chat

Lacey's POV

I feel like I'm being stretched thin in my life lately but crazily enough, I wouldn't change it, well, would change it a little so that I could

spend even more time with Logan and my kids

For the past couple of days, I've been working with Abby to try and find ways to help GiGi's family but it's hard to help people who are

extremely private and don't willingly or easily accept any contact from people, especially strangers who they believe are either fans of their

daughter or the press who are trying to get an exclusive from them

It's so annoying but at the same time, I can relate to them, I mean, hell, I changed my name and moved to a whole other country so that I

could have peace away from my famous family, so I can definitely relate to them just wanting peace and quiet in their lives and to be left

alone

"Don't stress yourself, doll, we'll find a way to help them"

“I know, Abs, it's just stressing me out and I can't sleep knowing this poor family are out there struggling”

"I know, I feel the same way but trust me, doll, I'll find a way, please have a little bit more faith in me"

She says and I scoff

"Girl, how can I not have faith in you? did you not see yourself on TV? you were like a rottweiler trying to get every last scrap of meat off the

GiGi bone"

Isay with a chuckle

“No, doll, you know! don't like to watch myselfon TV"

why?"

Task confused

"You know the old saying, the Q camera adds ten pounds, right?" "Yeah"

"Well, it's true”

©Oh my god, this woman

DING!!, DONG!

My doorbell rings

"Abs, I've gotta go, someone is at the door”

"Ok doll, I'l speak to you later, remember what I said though and stop

stressing about the Addams family, we'll find a way"

She says and I smile

“I know we will, I'l see you later" "Bye, doll"

“Byer

The call ended and I stood up from the couch to go and answer my

front door but when I got there, I saw that a maid had already beaten me to

it and I was surprised to see who it was

her

"Sabrina"

“Hey

Sabrina said while smiling nervously at me

“Hi..what are you doing here?"

"Well, the kids wanted to see the triplets and I wanted to see you"

Sabrina says as all three of my brother's daughters stand in front of

They were all looking at me with hopeful yet nervous looks and it felt

like a painful stab at my heart that my own nieces would look at me like this

“Come on in, erm...Poppy, can you go and get my daughter for me, please?"

“Yes, ma'am”

The maid left and a few minutes later, she returned with my daughter

"You wanted to see me, mummy"

"Yes baby, your cousins are here to see you and your brothers"

Teddy looked towards her cousins who looked excited to see her

“Yay, thank you, mummy”

Teddy cheered and hugged me

“Actually baby, it was your auntie Sabrina who brought them here, so you should really be thanking her, not me"

"Oh..thank you, auntie Sabrina”

Teddy thanked her auntie as she ran over to her and hugged her

"You're welcome, darling"

Sabrina said with a smile as she hugged her back

"Come on girls, 1 wanna show you my bedroom, my daddy had it made for me"

Teddy says as she and the girls all run up the stairs

would've told them not to run but it's honestly like beating a dead

horse because my kids never listen to me when I tell them not to run around the house

"They look excited to see each other" "They sure do"

Isay with a smile

"Let's go into the living area"

ok

Itell the maid to bring us some refreshments before heading into the living area with Sabrina

We sat down and I couldn't help but coo over Sabrina's beautiful little boy who was sleeping peacefully in his car seat

"He looks exactly like Justin”

"You're telling me, you should see him when his eyes are open, he's like Justin in baby form”

Sabrina says and I chuckle

"So, erm..what brings you here today?"

Task and Sabrina sighs

“I wanted to apologise to you"

“For what?"

Task confused

“For calling you a victim, I mean, I believe you were a victim at the time when everything went down, so I sort of still stand by what I said

but also don't because I can see how it may have offended and hurt you"

She says and I nod my head

“I'm sorry for calling you a victim, Lacey, it was incredibly insensitive of me"

"It's ok"

“No, it's not, if anything I should've called you a victor because that's what you are, I mean how many people do you know who have been

betrayed not once, not twice but a whole bunch of times by the ones they love, find out they're gonna be a parent and still have the brass

balls to leave and start a new life somewhere else on their own?..not many people,

Chapter 69 - Sisterly Chat

Ican tell you"

“I wasn't alone, I had Carmella and to be honest with you, Sab, it wasn't a decision I made lightly"

Isaid with a sigh

“I'll bet but I'm glad you did and I'm so proud of you for doing it"

Sabrina says shocking me

"You're proud of me?"

"Of course Iam”

She says with a slight chuckle like my question amused her

"You're my sister, Lace, my family but more importantly, you're my kid's family and you're everything I've ever wanted in a role model for my

kids"

She said as tears filled my eyes

Ifelt like an i***t for getting emotional over what she said but I couldn't help myself

"Hey, come here, don't cry”

Sabrina said as she wrapped her arms around me embracing me ina hug

"Why are you crying, Lace?"

“I've missed this..I've missed having my family around me"

"Oh love"

Sabrina comforted me by rubbing her hand up and down my back

We then pulled away from each other and she wiped my tears away with her thumbs

“I know I've... know I've got Logan and my kids and I've even got Logan's family but...it's not the same...I miss my family, I miss my mom

Chapter 69 - Sisterly Chat

and my dad, even those three goofballs I call my brothers”

I say with a chuckle at the end as Sabrina looks at me with a sympathetic expression

“It's kind of insane and pathetic of me to miss people who hurt me so badly, hmm"

1 say while looking down at my lap

"It's not pathetic, Lace, it's not pathetic at all”

“Tsn't it?"

Task as Ilook up at her

"Of course, it's not”

Sabrina said while rolling her eyes

"Look, I don't want this to sound like I'm defending them because I'm definitely not but they're your family, Lace and they weren't always

assholes to you, so it's perfectly normal that you'd miss them and the relationships you once had with them..it doesn't make you pathetic,

my dear little sister, it makes you human"

"Well, it makes me a confusing human, Sabrina because I miss my family but I can't forgive them, not yet anyway"

“And that's up to you, darling, you forgive them when you're good and

ready to and not a minute sooner, do you hear me?"

She says sternly and I smile at her

“I don't think my family will be happy about that"

Sabrina once again rolled her eyes whilst taking a sip of her tea before saying something which had me bursting out laughing but it also

shocked me as well because Sabrina very rarely curses especially if kids are around her, so it's surprising to hear her curse

"Who gives a flying s**t, Lace? I mean honestly, babe, if they don't like

Chapter 69 - Sisterly Chat

it then they can build a freaking bridge and get over it"

“Even Justin?"

1 ask wondering how she'd feel about Justin in that case because I've gotta admit that I've been feeling very conflicted when it comes to not

only

Justin but Liam and my mom as well because like my father said in that dumbass press conference, their only crime against me was them

not protecting me and standing up for me when I needed them the most

Sabrina sighs as she puts her cup down and looks over at me

“Justin loves you, Lace and he misses you so freaking much...he'd love nothing more than for you to forgive him and for you guys to spend

Christmas with us as a family but he also knows and understands that you're not ready for that yet and he's willing to wait until you are

ready”

She says and I nod my head because I didn't know how to respond to that

Tlove Justin and I'd love nothing more than to forgive him but like I said earlier, I feel conflicted and I'm not sure if I'm ready for that just yet

The sound of my nephew crying brought me out of my thoughts and I smiled when I saw Sabrina picking him up out of his car seat

"Oh my, he's so chunky, he reminds me of Dayton when he was a baby"

Isay and Sabrina chuckles

"Do you wanna hold him?"

"Of course, I would"

Sabrina handed me my little nephew who seemed to calm down when I snuggled him close to me and even his little hand gripped my

finger

Chapter 69 - Sisterly Chat

tightly to let me know he felt safe

“Hey there handsome, I'm your auntie Lacey”

lintroduced myself to my nephew who responded with a cute little sneeze causing both myself and his mom to smile/chuckle

"It seems you've got a fan, Lace”

"Yeah, don't tell Logan, he already gets pissy that he's gotta share me with the kids"

Isay and she once again laughs

"So, there's no more kids on the horizon for you two then?"

Sabrina asks with a smile and a raised eyebrow

"I never said that, in fact, I'd love nothing more than to have more kids with Logan"

"Good because you're a natural with them...if anyone was born to be a mother, it was you, Lace"

Sabrina says with a smile and my heart filled with warmth and pride at her words

I'may not be great at everything in life but I am great at being amom and it feels amazing whenever someone compliments me and my
