Hello beautiful strangers, I'm so happy to be writing the second half of this story. This one will probably be longer than the first, it all depends how the story goes in my head first before I write it all out. Well here is the first chapter everyone has been waiting for, please enjoy!
Chapter 1
"Ellie sweetie I really need you to stop shouting I'm trying to get you sister to sleep." I said peaking my head into Ellie's very purple room. Now seven Ellie had new interests on her hands such as hanging out with friends all the time, One Direction and causing trouble. I bounced Emmy, my two month old daughter in my arms gently.
"Well can we hangout after you lay her down? We can have spa day and we can do each others nails?" Ellie smiled.
"I can't I haven't gotten any sleep and if Emmy sleeps than I need to sleep. Next time I promise."
"That's what you said last time." Ellie grumbled and slammed the door shut in my face. I sighed, I've had the hardest time managing time between the new baby and Ellie. Mamire really didn't care, now that's she's in high school she has high school friends and high school things to do. I carried Emmy into my bedroom and laid her down in her crib, one thing I did miss was silence. It was either Mamrie talking on the phone, Ellie blasting music or Emmy crying, I just wanted silence and now that Emmy was asleep I curled up on my big bed and closed my eyes.
Edward
I looked up at my house when I climbed out of my SUV and took a huge deep breath. I had been gone for three weeks on a consultant trip for the FBI and it was the longest three weeks of my life. I had called Bella and every time we talked I could tell she was crying but she never said anything and I knew she was stressed, another reason I felt guilty of leaving.
I looked out at the barn and saw a few of my workers working on cleaning it. Thank god I had hired people or my animals would never be fed. I walked inside and the whole house, which was massive, was oddly silent except for the pumping of music, which I assumed was coming from Ellie's room. I set my bags down in the living room and took the steps two at a time and walked into my bedroom, Emmy, my gorgeous new baby girl was sleeping silently and Bella was curled up in the center of the bed.
I walked over and leaned down to kiss her cheek. "Hey princess," Bella groaned and slowly opened her eyes. She didn't speak, just smiled and wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me. "I missed you."
"I missed you babe," she kissed my cheek "I was so lonely and when I went to bed I wanted to cuddle up next to you but you weren't here." I laid down next to her and pulled her to my side.
"Now I'm here, how were the girls any trouble since the last time we spoke?"
"Ellie wanted to hangout today but I really needed this nap Edward, I've been so tired since it's just me. Mamrie is out with friends at the mall and should be back soon but I just needed time to myself."
I kissed her forehead "I know and she'll be fine don't worry. Now that I'm back it'll be easier," Emmy stirred a little in her crib "haven't moved the crib back to the baby room yet?"
"I wanted to wait until you were home with you muscles so you could move it." She laughed. "Plus I haven't had the time, right now is my down time and I would love sleep."
"Want me to leave?" She shook her head no. "You were gone for what seemed like forever just lay with me okay?"
"We have Jason's party tomorrow," Jason was Alice's son, he was turning two and Alice was throwing a huge party. "it starts at three. Thankfully I don't have to bake anything or I'd be even more stressed."
Emmy whimpered her in crib and before Bella could sit up I was up on my feet and lifted her out of the crib. Emmy looked just like me, she had a little reddish-brown fuzz on the top of her head and my green eyes. "Hi beautiful did you miss me?" I kissed the top of her forehead and she reached up at my face.
"She's always quiet when you hold her." Bella said propping her head in her hand "You have the baby touch, you make them calm. I still remember how scared you were to first hold her, funniest thing I'd ever seen."
"I've gotten much better," I said sitting down on the bed and rest Emmy on my legs. The door to our room opened and Ellie walked in.
"Dad!" She ran over and hugged me, careful of Emmy I handed her to Bella. I pulled Ellie onto the bed and wrapped my arm around her. "When did you get here?"
"A few minutes ago, I was just talking to your mom." I looked over at Bella who was fast asleep on her back with Emmy laying on her stomach past out as well. "Let's go downstairs." Ellie let us downstairs and I placed Emmy back in her crib before leaving Bella to sleep.
"Wanna go fishing, you promised to take me fishing when you got back." Ellie smiled laying down on the couch. I sat down in the recliner. "We are still going right?"
"Tomorrow, early in the morning. We have Jason's party later that day. So have has the house been since I've been gone?" Ellie shrugged "Be honest with me."
"I don't know, Emmy cries a lot and Mamrie is really mean to mom. I know I'm not the best but I just want to spend time with her, but Mamrie is mean she tells mom that she hates her all the time. I know mom cries at night, I heard her."
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, Mamrie had started to get a bad attitude before I left. "Did mom try to do anything ground her?"
"Yeah but Mamrie didn't listen, they got into a really bad fight two nights ago. Mamrie was screaming at mom, and mom was trying to tell her to go to her room and than Emmy was crying to. It was scary." Ellie whispered "Mamrie is different because she hangs out with Juniors at school."
"Yeah well I'm going to have to talk to her when she gets home. Now you," I smiled "what's with the moodiness?"
"I just want time with mom, like before the baby."
"You have to understand that Emmy needs a lot of moms attention so now that I'm back when ever I have the baby mom will have free time, it was hard but it'll get better don't worry."
The front door slammed shut and Mamrie walked into the living room. "Dad!" She went to hug me and stopped when she saw my face. She looked at Ellie and gave her the death stare. "You're such a little tattle-tale."
"El go upstairs," I said looking at Mamrie "I have to have a long talk with your sister." Mamrie walked over and took Ellie's stop. "So how has everything been since I've been gone?"
"Fantastic, so whatever Ellie said was a lie." Mamrie looked at her iPhone. I reached over and snatched it from her. "What the hell!"
"First things first, do not swear at me. Second when I'm talking to you do not ignore me. Ellie told me what happened, she might stir a little trouble up herself sometimes but she does not lie. So you're ground for two weeks, no phone no television."
"Are you kidding me?!"
"No I'm not, why are you telling your mom you hate her?"
"Because she wouldn't let me go out with my friends! It wasn't fair everyone was going to Brianna's bonfire and I couldn't."
"I don't care what is happening don't ever tell your mother you hate her. Do you not understand everything she does for you? You know you hurt her feelings, and the fact that you only act out when I leave is ridiculous so you're grounded for two weeks no going out either."
"This is so stupid," Mamrie shouted standing "you're not even my dad!" She ran upstairs and slammed her door closed.
Bella
Something was wrong, usually there was at least some conversation at dinner but tonight everyone was silent. Edward looked down right pissed, Mamrie looked pissed and Ellie looked sleepy. I help Emmy in my arms and took another bite of my chicken. "Is something wrong?"
"Nope," Mamrie said sarcastically "everything is just fine and dandy isn't it."
"Mamrie," Edward growled
"He grounded me for two weeks, no phone, no television or going out with my friends. What am I supposed to do sit and scratch my butt?" I took a deep breath. "God you two are seriously the worst parent's in the world."
"Mamrie," Edward slapped his hands on the table which made Ellie jump. "that is enough."
I couldn't take it. "I'm done," I whispered setting my napkin on the table and standing "you have been nothing but disrespectful to me and I can't do it Mamrie, I seriously can't." I moved Emmy to my other arm and wiped at my tears "I'm calling Charlie and you're going to stay down there for a few weeks because I don't know where this attitude came from."
I reached for Ellie's hand and let her outside the backyard with me. "Mommy are you okay?" I grabbed a blanket off the couch and laid it outside on the grass and sat with Ellie and Emmy.
"I'm just tired sweetie and I'm sorry I haven't been able to spend time with you. It's just been crazy with Emmy that's all." Ellie made a crazy face and Emmy laughed and smiled.
"It's okay, you're my best friend mommy okay?" I kissed the top of Ellie's head.
"You're my best friend too." The back door opened and closed and Edward walked up and knelt down next to me. "You okay?"
"I'm sorry for losing my temper, it just couldn't take it. Ellie told me everything that happened and I grounded her when she got home. It was just to much, I know you just wanted a calm dinner."
"Where is she?"
"Packing."
I laid Emmy between Ellie's legs so she could play with her. "Where did I go wrong with her Edward? I've done everything right haven't I?"
"She's being a teenager, and just taking the whole thing to another level that isn't going to be tolerated in my house. You want me to call Charlie or do you?" I chewed on my bottom lip. "Me?"
"Yeah, just explain and he'll drive down and get her. Hopefully he'll knock some sense into her because if he doesn't in all honesty what are we going to do?"
"Boarding school, and I'm dead serious." I looked over at Ellie and Emmy and smiled "Hey it's just a stage everything is going to be fine. I'll handle it I know you're stressed so stay here and relax I'll clean and call Charlie."
"I love you so much."
"I and love and you." Edward smiled kissing me.
XOXO
