Patricia sadly smiled at her small daughter. She was going to go to safety. That was the important thing even if it meant leaving the person she loved. She kissed Ellie's forehead as she buckled her in tighter. She was in first class on her way to England to start a temporary life.
"We'll be okay," She promised the baby who depended on her. "Everythings gonna be okay,"
~Ellie's first birthday~
Patricia
"Come on, Ellie," I cooed to my 1 year old. Yep one. It's been 7 months since I left Eddie and I miss him every single day. Ellie toddered over to me with her arms out through our backyard. I live in Manchester with her. It's looks like a cottage and it's way different from the city. But it's like my old life. I visit my parents all the time. Nina and Fabian live around the corner and visit us. Jerome and Joy are also close by. I don't get all that lonely.
Ellie is the cutest little thing. Surprisingly she has an American accent but that's what Eddie wanted. When she comes back she doesn't want her to be different and picked on for it. He couldn't bare if someone hurt our princess.
I was setting up the backyard for Ellie's little party. It's like a tea party. I heard the doorbell ring and I put Ellie on my hip. She giggled and put her head into my shoulder.
"Mama," She said.
"That's right," I said going to the front door. I opened it up and saw a bunch of guys. "Um hello?"
"Patricia Williamson?" One asked.
"Yeah," I said. The main one nodded and suddenly things were brought into my house. "Uh what are you doing?" I asked as huge tables and boxes and a huge cake. They all took them to the back yard and then huge presents were brought in. One handed me a piece of paper.
Patricia,
It's me, Eddie if you didn't know already. I decided to set up the birthday party for my baby girl. Make sure she knows I love her.
Much love,
Eddie
I smiled a little and went to the backyard. A bouncy castle was put up with tables and fountains and so much stuff. I shook my head at my fiancé. I looked at Ellie who was in shock.
"Your Daddy is crazy," I said to her.
"Dad-e?" She tried. I nodded.
"Yep, Daddy," I said. "I just wonder what his gifts are going to be," I said looking at the huge boxes. Ellie pointed at the fountain.
"Ter, ter," She said.
"Water that's right," I said carrying her inside and up to her room. It was much more modest than the one in the penthouse. Just a simple place for my little girl. I sat her down and she plopped onto her butt. I pulled out a knit sweater dress, with boots and a scarf. It's cold as hell outside. I bundled her up then started to brush her springy curly hair.
"Ow," Ellie pouted.
"That doesn't hurt," I said.
"OWa!" Ellie exclaimed. I rolled my eyes and let go of her hair. "Ow," She said.
"You're just complaining to be complaining," I said. I put her hair into two little pigtails.
"Cute," A voice said. I saw Fabian standing in the doorway. Eddie sent him to specifically watch Ellie to make sure she's okay and safe. He sent Jerome to make sure that I'm okay. At least their wives came with them to keep me company. "Sarah and Nina are out back," He said putting his hands in his pockets. He flipped his hair.
"It's nice of you to come," I said.
"Of course, my little godchild of course I'll come," He said.
"Did you know Eddie was going to do this?" I asked.
"Yep," He said. I rolled my eyes. "He's my best friend," He said.
"I miss him," I mumbled as I held Ellie close. He sighed and sat in the rocking chair.
"I know but this is safer," Fabian said.
"I know," I said. There haven't been any threats, any break ins, no problems. But just boring.
"Oh I have something for you," Fabian said. I nodded as I bounced Ellie up and down. He handed me over a fat envelope. I opened it up.
"My "child support"?" I asked.
"Yep," He said. Eddie insist on paying me every two weeks to make sure I can keep up with myself. He doesn't want me to have to take her to day care or work. He wants me to spend all the time I can with Ellie.
"It looks like more," I said.
"It is," He said. I nodded and put the envelope in my pocket.
"Let's go downstairs," I said. I started to walk downstairs then there was another doorbell. "Hold her," I said handing Ellie to Fabian. He nodded and carried her away. I went to the door and saw a guy holding a tablet. I took the tablet and opened it up to see Eddie's face.
"Hi Patricia," He said.
"Weasel face," I exclaimed. I walked to the dining room and sat down with the tablet ahead of me. "What time is it there?" I asked. It's probably the middle of the night.
"Don't worry about it Regina," He said. "I just wanted to say hey," He said.
"Hey," I said smiling. "I miss you so much," I said.
"I miss you more," He said. "How's my angel?" He asked.
"She's great, cute, happy," I said.
"I wish I was there," He said. I sadly smiled.
"All in the name of safety," I said.
"Yeah, I got her some great gifts," He said.
"I bet," I said. "I should probably go, chat later?" I asked hopefully.
"We'll see my Regina, I love you," He said.
"I love you," I said blowing a small kiss then logging off. I got up and went to the backyard which was now a paradise for little kids. I saw Ellie and Sarah jumping around in the bouncy castle. I smiled at my friends and my daughter. Everything I ever wanted except for my love.
