Chapter 3
Ooh! So we ended on a bit of a c l i f f - h a n g e r! I wonder how they know each other :) Oh wait, I already know! Let's see what happens next! Also, this one is definitely shorter and makes me feel like the reveal doesn't get it's justice, but ah well. Explanations will happen in a different chapter because this is in Reggie's PoV and he already knows everything so he has no need to explain anything, so it'll happen when they explain it to the band. Love from EV!
"How did you end up here?" Reggie asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Lily replied, laughing bitterly. "I died. A month after you died, I had the kids. I was on parental leave for almost a year, and I hadn't had time to dance much with triplets."
Reggie stopped. "Triplets? I thought you were having twins."
Lily smiled sadly and replied, "Triplets. Their names are Lexi, Lulu and Gina. Well, actually I named them Alexis, Luna-Louise, and Regina, but I purpose chose ones that had nicknames. And ones that were pretty much the female counterparts of your names. Gina came out first."
"Wow." Reggie was speechless.
"Anyway, I had a performance, and I decided to add an extra move that I usually take out because it was dangerous to do if you can't do it properly, and of course, I had to fall and kill myself. I floated off the stage and ended up in this dark room before waking up here. Turns out, Caleb was there watching my performance. Who knew he liked to watch the ballet?" Lily continued. "I found out about your death from the police. I almost miscarried."
"I'm so sorry," Reggie lamented. "I shouldn't have gone, I should've been with you."
Lily stared at him. "I couldn't let you not go. It was the chance of a lifetime."
"You were pregnant! I was your husband! It didn't matter. Nothing else mattered when it came to you."
Lily smiled at him, tilting her head before whispering, "I love you. But Caleb can't know. If he knew, he would use it against us. So come on, we've got some kids to teach. We're co-teachers, by the way."
Reggie sighed and they shared a kiss before they left.
