Once I was in the room, everyone stood up and came over to congratulate me by giving me hugs and kisses on the cheek. It was then I noticed Claire was here along with the twins.

"Babies!" I cried when I saw them.

"Momma," they both screamed together, jumping off Claire's lap and running to

me. I bent down to their level and hugged them tightly.

"Ew, Momma, you stink!" Kaden exclaimed, making everyone laugh.

"I do not," I mocked his tone.

"Yeah, momma smells beautiful!" Charis said, wrapping her little arms around my neck.

"It's my momma, get off her!" Kaden said loudly, wrapping his arms around my neck.

"It's my momma, you get off her!" Charis shouted back.

Chuckling, I picked them both up and said, "I love you both equally, and you're both my babies, and c'mon we have to meet momma's fans, don't we?"

"We're not babies!" they screamed together.

Laughing, I said, "Okay, okay. You're not babies. You're big children now, happy?"

They both nodded together, making all of us laugh. After chatting with everyone for a bit longer, I realised I had to go get dressed to meet my fans. I was really excited about doing that since I hadn't actually met any fans yet.

I quickly changed into a white flowy skirt with flowers on it and I tucked in a plain white tank-top and strapped plain black belts around waist where I tucked in the tank top. I slipped on a pair of gold platform heels. My make-up artist did my hair and my hair-stylist sorted out my hair to make sure it was perfect again.

I then got a drink and went to the lounge next door and waited for the people to come in. First was a group of crying teenagers who started screaming once they saw me. After meeting a whole bunch of other people and signing autographs, I was exhausted and ready to jump into my bed.

But then, the door opened and smelt the most intoxicating scent ever.

My mate's scent.

My head snapped up and I noticed Chase, who's eyes were wide open, Nicole, who looked at me with disgust, the brunette next to Ryan, looking extremely happy and Ryan, who had a small smile on his face. There were other people behind them, but I didn't recognise all of them, only Jace.

I then noticed the Nicole had a huge stomach for someone who counted every single calorie she ate. She was obviously pregnant. Chase had an arm around her stomach protectively while he kept his eyes trained on me, what did he think I was going to kill his child or what?

Chase looked at me with narrowed eyes and Nicole merely smirked.

It pained to see that he was protecting Nicole from me and I wanted to just burst into tears that moment, but I controlled myself. They all took a seat on the leather couches and after a few awkward moments, I said, "Hi."

Ryan came running up to me and engulfed me into a warm hug. He hadn't even touched me in years and now it felt amazing to have my big brother there embracing me. I missed him so much, that it was unbelieveable. A growl pulled me out of whatever daze I was having, and I stepped away from him.

I noticed that it was the pretty brunette growling, she must be his mate, huh? I smirked at him as he grinned. "Becca, this is my baby sister Sophia, and Soph, meet Rebecca, my mate."

Becca dropped the glare and gave me a sheepish smile before confusion and shock masked her facial expressions.

"Wait- when did you have a sister. And since when is the Sydney Taylor your sister?!" she asked.

"Oh dear brother, have you not told Becca why I left?" I asked with in an innocent tone.

"No..." she answered simply.

"Well, I'll tell you. I'm Sophia Campbell. And I'm 20 years old, and I ran away from the pack, you want to know why?" I asked.

She slowly nodded and Ryan's eyes widened slightly.

I grinned and replied, "Why doesn't my lovely brother here answer that question for you, huh?"

"Answer me!" demanded Becca.

"Later, baby, later. I promise," he said. I got a good look at him and noticed that he was a but more muscular now and a little taller. But he had slight bags under his eyes and stubble on his jaw, and his eyes now looked like they were full of sorrow and regret.

"Soph, please come home!" he begged.

I shook my head, not even thinking about it at all.

"Please, just come home, we all need you there," he continued.

I turned my back to them and said in my coldest voice, "No! Why should I? After what you all did? No way. Just because I'm rich and famous now, you all wanna be associated with Sydney Taylor!"

"No, please. We love you. Mom needs you Sophie, she hasn't got long left!" he cried. I froze while my brain processed the information.

I spun on my heels and faced him. "What?!" I whispered, tears threatening to spill out my eyes.

"She's dying Soph, she doesn't have long left. She just wants to see you once before she dies, just please. Not for us, but for mom," he broke down as tears flowed from his eyes.
